“Relaxing and chillaxing at Esto House”
+Beautiful location, house was spotless, bed was comfy and plenty of hot water and fire wood for the chilly evenings. Attention to small details were really appreciated. Fresh flowers, breakfast items. Would highly recommend Esto house and can’t wait to return.

“Precious time with daughters in a beautiful location.”
+Location was great, private but close to services and botanic gardens. Property size was comfortable for 3 adults. Nice fresh breakfast basket.
−Once the basket of firewood is used guest has to source more wood. As the weather was cold and raining as winter often is the fire was on during the day as we stayed in. The host was contacted and replied that there was enough for 2 nights. I was hoping there was a backup basket of wood. The open fireplace for a winter stay was a draw card.

“Luxurious stay in Adelaide Hills next to Mount Lofty and the Botanical Gardens”
+The house is comfortable and modern with an excellent kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances and was such a pleasure to work in. The house is on a hillside overlooking a vineyard and it was lovely sitting on the verandah in the evenings watching and listening to the various birds in the area.

“Peaceful, cosy, relaxing stay in a beautifully restored cottage.”
+The location of the property was in a working vineyard surrounded by cottage gardens and amazing views. There were various outdoor seating areas. The house was in wonderful condition and beautifully clean. The quality of the fixtures, fittings and furniture was excellent. Everything was a pleasure to use - coffee machine - top notch! Everything you could possibly need was included in the house, including a few staples to get you started. Esto House is a fabulous, comfortable, cosy and beautiful place to stay with a high standard of fit out. I highly recommend.
−Although the bed was very comfortable I would have preferred for it to be a king size bed.

+Esto house was an oasis in the country for us. The house was comfortable to be in. Beautiful grounds with views over the surrounding vineyard. Our host supplied a thoughtful hamper of goodies in the fridge, tea/coffee and pantry staples. Loved our stay!

“The location is the selling point!”
+Amazing location and scenery. Very well maintained garden. Clean and tidy house. Feels very homey. Large and modern kitchen. Has all the basic amenities. Complimentary breakfast food was nice. Digital guide book provided was very thorough and helpful for answering any doubts we had.
−Although it's meant to mimic an old country cottage, I feel the bathroom could be renovated, I.e. Walk in shower, bigger wash basin and a bath tub would be nice but space is limited. Perhaps can install an outdoor bathtub so you can admire the backdrop. Master bedroom also felt a bit dull. TV in living room could be upgraded to a newer model as it lacks easy screen mirroring option and a sound bar would be nice. We also used the provided BBQ but there was no side table to place our food or utensils while cooking.
