The Magic of Stars and Vines
What sets Stars and Vines apart from other retreats is its thoughtful blend of rustic beauty and modern indulgence. Imagine waking up in a cabin surrounded by rolling hills, with morning mist wrapping around the trees, and birdsong drifting through your window. Here, luxury isn’t just about plush pillows or high-thread-count sheets—although you’ll get plenty of those too—it’s about curating an immersive experience where nature and comfort exist in perfect harmony.
At Stars and Vines, each cabin is intentionally designed to blend into the landscape while still offering every amenity you’d expect from high-end hospitality. The interiors showcase earthy tones, sustainable materials, and open-plan layouts, ensuring you never feel disconnected from the breathtaking scenery outside.
What to Expect in the Luxury Lodges
Each luxury lodge at Stars and Vines is a private haven. From king-sized beds dressed in luxury linens to deep freestanding bathtubs perfect for stargazing soaks, these lodges are tailored for maximum comfort. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer uninterrupted views of the countryside, and many come with wood-burning stoves, private hot tubs, and outdoor firepits—ideal for chilly evenings under the stars.
The lodges also boast:

- Cozy living areas with curated books and board games
- Ambient lighting and underfloor heating
- Wi-Fi for those who want to stay connected (although we recommend logging off!)
Whether you’re in a vineyard-view lodge or nestled deeper in the forest, each space offers a unique ambiance — but all share that signature blend of wilderness and warmth.

Sip, Stay, and Savour: The Vineyard Connection
The name Stars and Vines is not just poetic — it’s literal. The property is located adjacent to a boutique vineyard that guests can explore during their stay. Picture yourself walking through rows of sun-drenched vines, learning about winemaking from passionate vintners, and enjoying exclusive tastings under pergolas wrapped in grape leaves.
Each lodge and cabin includes a welcome basket with a bottle of locally produced wine, so you can enjoy a glass (or two) while watching the sunset from your deck. And with occasional wine-pairing dinners and seasonal harvest events, your stay can be as indulgent as it is relaxing.
Stars Above: Night Skies Like Never Before
Far from the light pollution of the city, Stars and Vines offers spectacular stargazing opportunities. Lay back on a deck chair or curl up with a blanket beside your firepit and let the Milky Way stretch out above you. Some of the luxury lodges even come equipped with telescopes and skylights over the bed, allowing you to fall asleep under a blanket of stars.
This magical celestial experience is one of the highlights that keeps guests coming back — and where the “Stars” in Stars and Vines truly shine.
Activities to Enhance Your Stay
While doing nothing is highly encouraged, Stars and Vines offers curated experiences that elevate your countryside retreat. Depending on the season, you can:
- Join guided nature walks to explore local wildlife trails
- Take part in vineyard tours and wine-blending workshops
- Book private yoga or meditation sessions on your lodge’s deck
- Enjoy local art installations or live acoustic sessions during select weekends
- Arrange in-cabin massages or spa treatments
The focus is always on wellness, relaxation, and recharging — whether that means sipping wine by a roaring fire or walking barefoot through the morning dew.
Eco-Conscious Comfort

The luxury lodges and cabins are built with eco-friendly materials, use energy-efficient systems, and minimize their environmental footprint. Rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and biodegradable toiletries are standard, ensuring that your luxury doesn’t come at the cost of the planet.
Even the vineyard practices organic farming methods, and the entire estate supports local biodiversity by maintaining natural hedgerows and wildflower meadows.
