Beautiful and quiet property. Great getaway for a night or 2. Such an amazing place in this area and this location is perfect. There’s more expensive obviously but if you want simple, clean, dinner options, not fussy and the basics done well at a great price, then this is it.

Briars Country Lodge was a good choice for us we were going to a concert at Centennial Vineyards and the bus picks up from Briars. The lodge was competitively priced and whilst the room was clean and bed comfortable and had a pleasant view to the large pond, green lawn and trees thought the bathroom needed a makeover, water pressure was not great and shower head was basic, a few chips in the bath. The buffet breakfast was good, not the choices you get at a high end hotel but for $22 great value.

I love it and have stayed quite a few times but this time there was black gunk around the bathroom basin taps and the bathroom fan which came on with the light ie. you could not have one without the other, made a very loud noise which was very disturbing. without the light/fan switched on you could not see in the bathroom. Altogether unsatisfactory!
