If you’re looking for a home with the wow factor, this hidden gem has it by the bucketload. Tucked away in the Devon Valley wine region, you’ll find surprises around every corner here. The five-acre garden features a Victorian glasshouse, private pool, and natural dam for wild swimming. And for kids, the fun factor is high with life-sized Alice in Wonderland characters, a 1930s carousel, and a zip line. Made up of two homes (the manor house and the pool pavilion) rented as one, there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy and each bedroom is en-suite for extra privacy. And for the cherry on the cake, your host can arrange a private wine tasting at their nearby wine estate.

Home truths
This home comprises two properties – a manor house and a pool pavilion – rented as one.
While the kitchen and some of the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. Some of the bathtubs are integrated into the bedrooms so you won’t have complete privacy.
The swimming pool and natural dam aren't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
Complimentary wine from the host’s wine estate will be waiting for you on arrival.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
