'A hills escape where people arrive as guests… and leave feeling like locals'

Our place is all about calm, connection and simplicity — where time slows down and you can enjoy the fresh country air.
From the moment you arrive, it’s easy to settle in — drop your bags, take a breath, and feel at home.
Woodside is one of the best towns for winery access, especially if you prefer a quieter base. Our country town is friendly, fun and has a great supermarket. Make sure you try the treats at the famous Lobethal Bakery.
