My husband and I went here to celebrate my Birthday and Anniversary. From when we arrived we were made to feel most welcome and special. We were taken to our luxury Spa Suite which was truly beautiful. There we found our French champagne and chocolates waiting for us. We then went off to have our 3 hour pamper package - Truly Amazing. That evening we were booked in for our 7 course Degustation dinner. That was just awesome. The next morning we finished off with a beautiful breakfast. Rick and his team are truly most professional and warm people. I would not hesitate recommending this place for any celebration you may have - or even just a getaway to feel you have been transported to another place and time.

Attention to detail superb. My husband and I have travelled extensively both in Australia and overseas, and Woodman Estate is one of the best places we have stayed. The property is outstanding both inside and out; the attention to detail is excellent. The food and wine were magnificent and all the staff were extremely helpful and so friendly. Could not recommend this place highly enough. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
