By the way...
|
No gift shop but they do sell their own beef and cured meats from the fridge in the cellar door
No but the lawns would be fun to run around on
No as there are chooks roaming around
Mobile phone/internet reception on the way to this cellar door can be a bit patchy, so be sure to also have a hard copy map or directions as to where you are going. You are also welcome to bring picnic provisions to have on the outside picnic tables, which have an amazing view
