展望大廈私人飯店

The main building displays all the lovely features and charm of Georgian architecture and interiors. The newer accommodation has modern conveniences with elegant decor. The food is flavourful and service had a lovely balance between professionalism and friendliness. The spacious grounds, wine tasting at Pooley winery and bikes combine to make this a special experience.

Being local and having dined at Prospect Country House on two previous occasions, we were well aware of the high calibre cuisine and service on offer. As in-house guests, we were treated to a whole new level of excellence. The room was very comfortable and well appointed. The bathroom was cleverly laid out. Toilet and shower were both complete with doors (we love shower doors so water doesn't flood the bathroom and drafts are kept out!), there was under floor heating and, unusually these days, plenty of towels on offer. Dinner was as outstanding as our previous meals and the Continental breakfast was also a treat with Chef Kalpana's house-made granola, yoghurt and stone fruit compote being the stand-outs for us! David looked after us beautifully on arrival and during dinner and Kylie was a lovely, bright presence at breakfast and on check out. If you want country beauty without being isolated, a wonderful blend of traditional Georgian style and contemporary comfort, fine dining without the pretention, a top notch wine list (the property is owned by Pooley Wines), warm, friendly hospitality and an opportunity to really feel spoiled, you really can't go wrong at Prospect Country House!

We enjoyed two wonderful nights at this unique and stunning accommodation. Booking was simple, and management made regular and timely communications with me prior to our arrival, to ensure all was on track. We were met by Daniel when we arrived, who gave us a tour of the beautiful and historic property, and shared some wonderful stories. We enjoyed two sumptuous and very tasty breakfasts, and ate on one night in the dining room. Dinner was fantastic, very tasty and of high quality. Since the hotel was fairly quiet where we were there - there was only one other guest - we were fussed over and made to feel really special, due to Daniel's and Kylie's attentive behaviour and genuine kindness and friendliness. The room was exceptional, spacious, bed very comfortable, and the rain shower was a joy. We loved the opportunity to wander around the grounds in all their spring glory. And on top of all that, we really appreciated the free visit to Pooley's winery for a tasting. The hotel sits just on the edge of the pretty, historic and interesting town of Richmond, and only 20 minutes from the airport. We are very glad we selected this place. It is well worth treating yourself.
