Puggles Paradise’s Guidebook
Neighbourhoods
Mount View really pushes the envelope when it comes to idyllic views, less than 10 minutes from the house and you can wind your way up to the very top past terraced vineyards and lush green pastures dotted with cows and kangaroos.
The landscape is a kaleidoscope of colours with each changing season and the views from Bimbadeen Lookout stretch to Barrington Tops and the coast on a clear day.
Along the way you’ll come across acclaimed boutique cellar doors offering a wide range of wine styles as Mount View is lucky to have an assortment of soil types, so new alternative grapevines grow alongside the traditional Shiraz and Semillon. It’s the ideal spot to enjoy a laidback wine tasting in scenic surrounds with cheese and antipasto platters to nibble on.
Mount View is also home to one of the region’s most awarded restaurants perched high on a hill where you can take in the extraordinary views from the Provencal -style interior or the pretty wisteria-covered courtyard. The vibe is as relaxed as it is romantic – one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments you’ll want to share with friends on Facebook.
