    I honestly did not have a dislike.

    Balgownie Estate provided me the opportunity to immerse myself in the tranquillity and the excellent facilities on sites. Being there on business, I took the opportunity to have a breakfast meeting in the restaurant, which was appreciated by all. I liked the ability to sit with a fantastic view and work as required in the spacious conference room.

    Super loud music and wedding noise until 11:00pm was so so sad as it ruined the ambiance and the check in instructions was incorrect .

    Restaurant had limited option for those who didn't want to have the 2 to 3 course meals.

    The Queen Heritage room was modern, clean and quiet. It was lovely and I'll definitely still be back.

    Checking in ok. Had to answer multiple questions including where we were travelling from, guarnteeing we wouldnt damage the property (we are 70+ so our damaging days are over!). This was difficult as we didnt have an Australian SIM card in our phone

    Location amazing. Food lovely and very comfortable cottage

    We had dinner at the restaurant which was disappointing. We would stay here again but wouldn’t dine at the restaurant.

    Accomodation was lovely, room was generous in size, very clean. We had a drink at the restaurant in the afternoon looking out on the vineyard which was lovely. Good wine selection.

    Only complaint was we hoped our room would have been slightly bigger but was very comfortable anyway

    The restaurant was really nice and staff were really friendly. We did the wine tasting which was very good and the view over the vineyard from the rooms were fantastic

    Our experience at Balgownie Estate

    1. The very, very low toilet, which was hard to rise from. 2. The tap to the basin was in such a location that you could not put your hands under the tap for washing - the next best thing to do was to run water in the basin, which results in more water being used. 3. Only having one hand towel for a double room. 4. The quality of the bath towels was doubtful. 5. Not enough room for two small suitcases - no designated place for them. One suitcase could be put it on the table, but then the table could not be used. 6.The list of do's and don'ts on the door of our room was off-putting - not hospitable being threatened with extra cost.... 7. The flower arrangement on the table in the separate room needed replacing - the flowers were dead. 8.The outside table was very dusty and wobbly.

    Rebecca at Reception was very kind and efficient. We loved the location, the peace and quiet, the view from the pleasant verandah, the kangaroos hopping near the vineyard, the ducks waddling around - even a mother duck with her sweet little ducklings. All together a nice stay. The room was clean and the bed nicely made up. I appreciated the liquid soap, also the hand & body lotion. The comfortable bed, the dressing gowns were a good quality. A separate room for reclining in the evening if that was desired.
