Upon arrival the smell from the white wisteria was a beautiful welcome to this warm and homely cottage.

We spent two nights at the Flamingo and just loved our time. From sitting on the balcony, sippi...ng wine, to loving looking at the generously size backyard with a hills-hoist sharing stories about swinging on them as kids.

We went to Muse Kitchen in Pokolbin, which was right beside Keith Tulloch Winery,’for us a perfect one stop shop.

We had a mouth watering, belly filling three course lunch, then with a hop, skip and a jump we sat and enjoyed a long wine tasting.

We had a very relaxing weekend. Our cups are full and our wine glasses are empty.

Thank you

The Hanging Tree winery is about half an hour drive away from our cottage, and we definitely recommend this spot for the breathtaking sunset. Oh and let’s not forget the wine, the wine was good too!
