Amongst the Vines Deluxe Retreat is situated on the grounds of a working vineyard and you may from time to time hear tractors, spraying and harvesting, especially if you are staying during the Vintage. None of these are intrusive and will not impact on your stay. The bird songs are the dominant sounds of the property! Although you are booking the entire house, you must book the correct number of people staying per room. The second queen bedroom will be locked unless there is a request and payment to use the room.
