Incredible boutique building with a lot of history. Driving down the long road to be greeted with a water foundation followed by the estate was absolutely gorgeous. We booked for the deluxe room which was nice and roomy for 2. The room offered balconies towards the front and the side. Staff were very polite. The entire experience felt very homey which was exactly what we were looking for on this trip away. Perfect stay coupled with dinner down the road at Circa 1876.

The initial flurry of service was impeccable, the food gorgeous... but once the food was delivered the service evaporated... we couldn't get our water glasses refilled or getting a second hot drink... and no-one came back to check on how we were going...

The building and grounds are beautiful - the room interiors are luxurious and relaxing. The beds are comfortable, and location is good. Breakfast was nice but not really worth the $35.

The convent is a beautiful hotel, with a great restaurant. Circa 1806 next door is a fantastic restaurant.

Pricey, but very nice. Quaintly located a bit off the beaten path but central to all of the local wine attractions.

The staff is very friendly.

Very boutiquey feeling throughout the hotel. Well manicured grounds.

Apparently this is a popular filming venue for a lot of dating TV shows, so it has an aura of romance about it.

The rooms are well appointed (for the style), the service is excellent, and the views are magnificent. Our experience was made much better by our cellar door experience at Pepper Tree, but the opulent and well put together stylings inside the convent stole our hearts immediately. We will endeavour to come back again!

It is romantic, quiet and is situated in the perfect spot. The rooms are generous and filled with beautiful furnishings. They play host to many weddings throughout the year.

I took my wife there as a surprise for a very special birthday and it was delightful.
It's not inexpensive but if there is a special occasion and if you like a traditional atmosphere it won't disappoint. Try for the upper rooms at the front, particularly the corner rooms.
