Woodman Estate - Lakeside Luxury Accommodation

We had a fabulous experience today. We arrived and were greeted in such a friendly manner by the owner/host who took us through the lavish buffet and then explained the full cooked breakfasts. Waiting staff were friendly and we enjoyed a glass of bubbles to start. Food was excellent in wonderful Old English Manor surrounds, overlooking the lake. We had a Red Balloon voucher and were given every courtesy. Will be back.

We enjoyed the High Tea to celebrate a special birthday in the family. From the moment when we booked for six, the service was exemplary. With one person having complex dietary needs, at the time of booking Woodmans Estate was very particular in recording details, checking with their chef and confirming with follow up phone calls. And their team made the afternoon perfect. The high tea was beautifully presented and the savoury and sweet treats were delicious. The service was attentive but not overbearing. Highly recommended.

Superb. A little peaceful hideaway. I stayed in one of the chalets and the serenity was wonderful on the lake. The main house itself was gorgeous with that wood fire. And the restaurant..... wow. I tried the stunning degustation menu and it did not disappoint. The most wonderful part? The friendly staff. It made it a personal stay and they looked after me with the utmost care and attention. I will be back!

We booked a high tea for mum's 80th. I'm so glad we took their advice to book the atrium. We were able to celebrate privately. The ambience was great. We had our own staff looking after us. The food was great and in abundance. I would highly recommend this option for any large celebration. I can't thank Rick and his staff enough for making mums day a memorable experience

Really amazing hospitality by the team here. Prompt and friendly service. The food was fresh and tasty, and the scones were delicious!I will definitely have to return for the accommodation and the spa retreat to see what’s on offer.We also did a nice walk around the lake on the property which was good after a big high tea meal!

Visited for a ploughman's lunch for two and enjoyed every moment. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. The indoor areas are stunning, very elegant, and the outdoor surrounds and breathtaking. We were lucky to have a bright, sunny and cool day, so sat out by the lake for lunch. The scenery is soothing and beautifully picturesque, with ducks bobbing and ducking amongst the reeds and lilies.We enjoyed our wine very much and the food was excellent, leaving us full with some left overs. The grounds are pretty, with short walks available around the lakes and ponds. There are chalets with balconies overlooking the water and a spa/wellness centre for that weekend getaway.We will definitely come back one day, one of the beautiful places of the world.

What a treat. Decided to book a package with Red Balloon for my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend here and it sure didn't disappoint! From the confirmation emails with the Ashleigh before hand, to being greeted on the day by Alicia, and being waited on by George at dinner in the restaurant, everyone was super friendly and helpful. Even a quick chat with the gardener during the day proved everyone at Woodman Estate is a delight to deal with.We had a chauffered winery tour with a lovely lady named Jacinta, we took the little paddle boat out on the beautiful lake by the estate, we had an incredible dinner and breakfast, and an amazing spa suite.Honestly I can't praise this place enough and look forward to bring my parents there for dinner some time because the food was to die for. Thanks so much to everyone at Woodman Estate for making my one year with my girlfriend so amazing.

We stayed at this quaint and beautiful estate to celebrate our birthday in June. Their service was absolutely fantastic. Their staff went over and beyond to just surprise us. We couldn't have picked a better place to spend our special weekend. We also went on a little row on their lake, it was so tranquil. I am writing this review against my better judgement, because honestly we want to keep coming back for special occasions and wishfully hoping that they don't get too popular and busy. We are still savoring all the little jams they sent us home with, and got reminded of them and our time there.We also went with their package and had a private guide take us around on our first day. I would highly recommend that as well.A special note to their staff Ashleigh who handled us most of the times, she is a gem. She made us very comfortable during our stay and gave us plenty of recommendations on places to go when we do return to the area next time with our kids.It is still so vivid how we were pulling away in our car after we had checked out and saw Ashleigh running across the very long driveway as fast as she could as if we had forgotten something, only to greet us with a little parting gift of bag full of goodies. Thank you very much!
