THE VINEYARD RETREAT

Perched on a hill, these four self-contained guesthouses are elegant and well equipped. The décor is American chic with deep leather sofas, tactile timbers and a palette of beige and understated pastels. Owners Anthea and Stu Cross have thought of every detail that makes for a comfortable stay, from ample breakfast provisions to throw rugs for cosying up on the verandah. There’s even a hot tub bubbling away amid the grapevines. Book The Highland – it’s the pinnacle of the quartet and has the best views of the vines below.
