You can kick back with your favourite wine and enjoy the ambience.

Maranda Country Estate is located minutes from cellar doors and restaurants; including Krinklewood, Winmark, Margan, Talits, Kawal Rock Distillery and plenty more. For a more laid back approach, Mount Broke Winery offers wood-fired pizzas, and the local Smokin Hot n Saucy have a delicious range of take-away foods available from their road-side stall a short stroll away.

Space for family and friends

We had a great long weekend stay with family and friends. The property is well set up to cater for a mixed group with plenty of space. The location was great - near some lovely boutique wineries and a little out of the hectic Pokolbin area. We appreciated the owner adding a fire pit and our two dogs loved the room to runaround. The beds were good quality and really comfortable and the house was spotlessly clean.

Enjoyed our stay and the property was in a good location close to our wedding venue. Having bathing facilities in Studio 2 would have been preferred as it restricts the number of guests. EV charger not operating was a bit frustrating. Overall still a good property to enjoy the wine area.

Wedding weekend at Broke

Pretty little farmhouse with three bedrooms, decent kitchen and large loungeroom, dining room with lovely valley views. Enclosed balcony makes me wonder how bad the flies might get but you're surrounded by farmland. 2 single studios (one with bathroom but no fridge, one has toilet only and small kitchenette). Very clean and grounds well kept. Pleasant stay.

The Maranda is a great house and the views are fantastic , plenty of room for big families

Unfortunately the check in was not great While I did receive a phone call to say the house was going to be ready at 3:15pm and that the studios were to be still cleaned due to the previous tenants leaving it In a terrible place we arrived at 3:30pm and did not get into the house until 4:30pm Studios were not ready until 5:30pm Water balloons left near the tap were all over the place and spa bath was not clean .. we proceeded to put chemicals in it to make it acceptable.. underneath bed were chocolates and toys .. Oven also was a bit smoky so would suggest getting someone to look at it Overall we loved the views and the house was big enough for us and we still had a great time but for the money we paid and to not be settled in until 6pm did put a downer on the the first day

Maranda Country Estate has one of the best backyard views for an accommodation.
