What Makes Stars and Vines a Standout Destination?
With countless places advertising themselves as “luxurious” or “dog-friendly,” it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But Stars and Vines doesn’t just check boxes—it redefines them. Here, luxury lodges are more than stylish—they’re soulful. The setting is serene, the air is crisp, and the experience is elevated without ever feeling overindulgent.
And yes, your dog can come too. In fact, they’ll love it just as much as you do.
A Boutique Stay, Tailored to You and Your Pup
Stars and Vines offers a collection of luxury lodges that feel both intimate and expansive. Each lodge is designed with individuality, ensuring no two stays feel the same. Whether you prefer rustic charm or modern minimalism, there’s a style that suits your vibe.
But it’s not just about aesthetic—these lodges are built for living. Think deep-soak bathtubs, floor-to-ceiling windows, and kitchens stocked with local treats. Add in outdoor fire pits, private gardens, and panoramic countryside views, and you’ve got a sanctuary where you can actually breathe.
Why Luxury Isn’t Optional Here
Luxury at Stars and Vines doesn’t scream—it whispers. It’s in the details: heated towel rails, Egyptian cotton sheets, Nespresso machines, and complimentary welcome hampers filled with local produce and homemade bakes.

This kind of luxury lodge experience doesn’t just pamper you; it spoils your senses and grounds you in the present.

In short, no more scrambling to find a sitter or feeling guilty for leaving them behind. At Stars and Vines, you both get the break you deserve.
Set Among the Vines, Beneath the Stars
The name “Stars and Vines” is no coincidence. Set in a rural pocket of countryside, the lodges overlook working vineyards and rolling fields.

Come nightfall, with virtually zero light pollution, the sky explodes into a galaxy of stars.
This makes Stars and Vines a dream for romantics, photographers, and anyone who needs reminding of the world’s quiet beauty.
