A beautiful estate but a little overpriced.

Pros: This is our second stay at Holden Manz. It is a beautiful property with interesting artwork from the families art gallery in the town. The suites are spacious with a lovely outdoor area attached. The pool area is also lovely and we liked the basket that came with each suite so you could pack the towels provided and whatever else you might need at the pool. The complementary wine tasting was also a nice touch. Also like having a milk frother in the room. The staff were very nice.

Cons: The rooms were somewhat lacking in attention to detail. We arrived to find the outdoor area still had cups and a dirty ashtray from the previous guests. The safe also wasn’t working (we didn’t need it so didn’t ask for anyone to look at it which I’m sure they would’ve). Some of the bath mats and towels were threadbare and there was no bin in the room. Also no luggage rack and no desk (although there is a desk in the main house guests can use). The kettle, nespresso machine and milk frother all had to use the same plug point so one was continuously plugging and unplugging. A plug extension is much needed. Also our coffee pods were not replenished which felt a bit mean considering the rate.
