We arrived and got greeted by a lovely staff member checking us in in less than 5 min. The room was great in size and we had twin bedding set up as requested which was wonderful. We stayed at the Lodge Room and it was great . We stayed for the weekend for Summersalt at the Roche Estate and it was the perfect location being 5min down the road. Accommodation felt very fresh and recently renovated and we really loved it. It was quiet and with a lovely restaurant on site with amazing food, cocktails and wonderful service. We also got some wonderful recommendations from the lovely lady at the reception. Absolutely highly recommend this property for a weekend or week away. It's so beautiful and feels so more personal being a small er property and everythign is so close to drive or via Uber. Amazing!

The location was great and our room was lovely and spacious and looked out over the vines which was lovely. It had almost a safari lodge feel!

The reception closed at 4pm which felt a little odd. The only place to get food or something to drink on the site was an expensive (albeit great) restaurant that only opens in the evening, was booking only with a minimum of 2 courses rule. There was a mini bar in the room and 2 free bottles of water, however someone had unfortunately turned it up to maximum so everything (including the cheese, oil and chutney we bought that day) were frozen solid. When the main reason you are in the area is to try alcohol, and maybe sample a little cheese, then not having access to anything else (and not being able to drive anywhere) once you get back is a little inconvenient, but now we know if we were to return, we would take some supplies with us!

Location was central to everything with an extra bonus of being a little tucked away. Scenery was stunning overlooking the vineyard and the rooms were cosy and beautiful furnished. We were lucky enough to dine at Pescara Italian restaurant on our last night and the food was to die for! We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here and will definitely be back.

The room was warm which was good however it got quite hot upstairs and was noticeably cooler downstairs due to the position of the air conditioning. Definitely not a big deal, although an electric fireplace would be divine ✨️

The facilities were excellent. The bedroom/sitting room and the bathroom were very clean and spacious. The king size bed was very comfortable. The continental breakfast of well-blended museli, tropical juice, yoghurt with passionfruit topping and English muffins with jam/peanut butter/Vegemite and a selection of teas and coffee was first class! The only improvement I could offer would be some butter for the muffin! The location of the restaurant, Pescara, on the same property and a mere twenty metres from our room, was a bonus.

The stay at Hermitage lodge was great, staff were friendly and accomodating. The location of the lodge is close to nearby wineries and restaurants and shops. The room (a Premier Suite) had a spa bath on the balcony which was great, as well as a full kitchen with cooking facilities and cutterly/plates/pots/pans and a gas fire. It has recently been renovated with new furniture. Two airconditioners and one gas fire ensured I was warm during the coldest nights. Additional blankets were also provided. The optional breakfast is good value for money and convenient. The provided coffee pods did the job of caffeinating me.

The downstairs bathroom fan in the Premiute Suite named bimbadgen suite was very noisy, as was the downstairs airconditioner. This did not impact my sleep as the bedroom was upstairs, which has a separate airconditioner.

We had the Bimbadgen Suite which was large but be aware the bedroom is upstairs which are a bit steep. Lovely balcony off the bedroom as well as downstairs off the lounge room. Great view over the vineyard and more private than the rooms overlooking the small ‘lake’ Pescara restaurant onsite was a real bonus and fantastic.

Bedroom television needs updating to a smart tv. Downstairs tv screen really dark and probably needs replacing.

Hermitage Lodge was in a great location for the wedding I was attending and a good price compared to other accommodation I had looked at. I had a “night before wedding” dinner at Harrigan’s and this accommodation was so close. I had booked through booking.com and my booking didn’t go through properly to the property but the Hermitage Lodge team thankfully picked it up before I arrived and were still able to sort out accommodation for me, and I can’t thank them enough for that!

The restaurant at this location is expensive for what you get but other than that, can’t fault the accommodation at all.

Great spot and the room has everything you could need. The restaurant was great too

That there wasn’t any breakfast

Large room, with different areas clearly defined. The double bed was rather comfortable (though I would have preferred a more firm mattress). The room also featured a living area with two armchairs in front of a cabinet containing a fridge, TV, breakfast items, etc. Behind the armchairs, you will find a small dining table with two chairs. And on the side, you get a nice balcony with a vineyard view. The bathroom is also rather large and offers all that you need. It is a very quiet area, from where it is easy to reach several wineries, as well as a General Store and more as needed.

There is supposed to be parking right in front of the room, but the neighbours had used up all three slots for themselves. They of course freed up the space the following day when we asked, but it would be cool if the property had numbers or labels on the spots to avoid confusion.

Location was lovely, staff great, restaurant & meals enjoyable . Comfortable bed & hot shower was good. Our room had a lovely ambience looking out over the vineyards.

Bathroom was a disappointment- cheap toilet seat , cheap toilet paper with not enough bench space for toiletries etc - by just upgrading the toilet basin with more bench space, toilet seat & quality of paper it would make a difference . You had to use a lot of paper as it is so thin 😳- with a better quality paper you wouldn’t have to use so much & maybe save $$s overall.
