My stay at Marianne Wine Estate was a mixed experience. On one hand, the peaceful location among vineyards and gardens was lovely, and I enjoyed a spacious room with a private terrace. However, the dining options were limited, with the nearest restaurant quite far, which was inconvenient. Overall, I appreciated the friendly service and beautiful surroundings, but there are areas that could use improvement.
