| "Loved the house. Central Pokolbin location, great vineyard location and views, very large rooms and well appointed. It was a very tranquil spot and we saw the odd wallaby. 2 excellent cellar doors next door. Would definitely stay again." |

| "From our experience of holidaying in Provence, Talits is right up to standard .. we felt like we were in France! The home has lovely gardens, is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It was just about perfect. We felt the owners were very generous with everything they provided in the house." |

| "Our stay was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for thinking of the little things! Talits French Estate Vineyard was far better than I could have anticipated. Every last thing was thought of, even the electric beaters to make my 5 tiered cake. Without a doubt, Talits is one of the nicest properties I have ever stayed. Thanks again for a lovely stay! We shall definitely be back." |

| "The house was very well equipped and we could not have asked for more. To be honest it is likely the best property we've stayed in as everything you could ask for was catered for. Having so many adults in one space can sometime get cramped however there was more than enough room for everyone to spread out and relax." |

| "It was a pleasure to stay at Rocklee Grove. Everything from the original booking, to the helpful notes we received, to the actual accommodation was fantastic. The bedrooms were spacious and clean, and the house itself was quite large. The setting was beautiful with an array of beautiful flowers. Sitting outside watching the sun go down with a glass of wine in hand was memorable. I would definitely recommend it and hope to stay again in the future." |

| "We absolutely loved Tinonee House; it was perfect for our group and the grounds were just beautiful. Everything was wonderful and made for a memorable birthday for my husband. Your company was always extremely helpful whenever I called, Kevin was a terrific tour operator and Ben, well, he's in a league of his own when it comes to catering! The cheese platter was lovely, the BBQ s upplies generous and the lunch at Mt Broke wines just perfect (people were asking for recipes). The dinner at Tinonee was sublime, five star food and service and then there was the cake created by Ben and Jayce...magic!" |

| I just wanted to say thanks for providing us with a house to have such a great time in. The location was perfect for a eight noisy women to kick back, laugh and relax in. The house itself had everything we needed in terms of kitchen equipment and loads of glasses for enjoying our wares. We had a blast, thanks with you help with organisation. Mutually, we cant wait to come back and visit again. |

| The house was fantastic - very well presented and so many extras. The size of the house was perfect for a large group, the pool and the grounds were so well looked after. We loved it and simply can't speak highly enough of the house. Another positive was the amount of extras that were stocked, simple things like enough toilet roll and glad wrap. Simple thinks but meant that we didn't need to shop again and again. Thanks for a great stay - will looking at doing it all again. |

| I have a note on my desk to send you an email to say thanks, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Silky Oaks. The property was perfectly presented, even down to the gardens & lovely wood shed. It was quite picturesque. Everybody in the house commented at some stage about the thought that had gone into creating a lovely stay......many candles, lots of books & CD's, nice linen, lots of pillows. It was all lovely & we look forward to another visit when required. Please thank the owners for providing a beautiful getaway for us. I also want to thank you both for your organisational skills & the many emails to keep in touch. It was a pleasure to deal with your business. |

| The directors and executives from our company had stayed in the Monkey place on Sunday and Monday night, they also had several meals at the house. They wanted to thank you both for organising this booking and preparing the food. The place was really nice and comfortable, the service was excellent, and especially the amount of food was huge and way better than they were expecting. It was a top quality stay in conclusion. They will recommend this place to other people and also will put this into first consideration for their future stay in that area. |

| Our product team took 2 days out from the everyday at work to have an offsite in the Hunter Valley. We found the accommodation through Stayz.com.au and then Events in the Vines took care of the rest, organising everything from AV equipment to the catering. All the amenities of staying in a hotel but better! No soggy sandwiches – just good homemade food from local suppliers. Events in the vines also organized a great night at River Flats (a local olive grove) where we made our own wood fired pizzas and stood around bonfires drinking local wines. Thanks Events in the Vines for taking such good care of us. |

| I had stayed at the Monkey Place several times over the last few years as a private guest, and have always thoroughly enjoyed my stays. It was great therefore to discover that the property is also available for corporate meetings and off-sites through Events in the Vines. As you know, I took the opportunity to bring my management team from across Australia and New Zealand for a 24 hour workshop. The location, and the support such as Dave’s welcoming and the catering were first class and made the logistics of the event easy to manage and very efficient. All of our participants commented positively upon the set up and were comfortable and relaxed and able to focus solely upon the tasks at hand, which was the exactly the reason for bring them to such a location. Thanks very much for the great experience, and we look forward to our next opportunity to meet and work with Events in the Vines. |

| Karen - NMRA Travel |
| This conference and strategic planning session was the best ever. What a great way to free the right hand side of the brain. Personal service - no big hotels and fantastic accommodation. Loved the meals, all cooked in the houses with our own chef. A real winner. |
| Michael - Telstra |
| A great way to do a team off-site. A great stress free environment for thinking and planning |
| Ian - Getronics |
| Excellent - A very pleasant way to have a conference. The accommodation was great and having the fire started when we returned on the Wednesday night was a lovely touch. Everything we needed was provided. |
| Gerard - Westpac Bank |
| Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend we absolutely loved the wine tour. I couldn't have been happier with the wineries we visited, John was such a great host and the fact that we visited the boutique wineries in Broke was just what we wanted. |

| This was my first time experiencing a wine tour. We visited two wineries and Both fantastic. First Creek had nice wine (not much of a wine drinker myself but walked away with a few bottles!!) The bus was very comfortable, the air con was heaven!! Neil, our driver was absolutely fantastic. He really looked after us and was such a pleasure to be with for the duration of the day! We were a little sad by the end of the day having to say good bye!! The lunch was delicious!! Food was on the table within 5 minutes of us arriving, service was very friendly. They were even nice enough to put the left over pizza in a box for us to eat later. It would've been such a shame to throw it out!! Hens Day out Wine Tour is the perfect choice for anyone would like to do a bit of both. Taste the delicious wines the Hunter valley has to offer as well as the tasty cheeses, chocolates and lets not forget the cocktails!! Lots of fun, would definitely do it again! Thank you so much for your time with this - it is greatly appreciated. Absolutely AMAZING!!! Everybody really enjoyed themselves!! :) |

| We used your transfer service and found it exceptional. Our driver Russell was punctual, even when we were not. He was very accommodating when it came to stopping to pick up a few supplies on our way through and collecting us from a different location than we originally organised. He was a good driver, great bloke and very helpful in making our Hunter Valley experience as enjoyable as it was. |
