What People Are Saying About Us

  • Dear Wayne and the magnificent support team! What a wonderful and inspirational experience Missé is. I'm so glad to have been able to immerse myself in the Missé experience. You look after your guests so well - it's very special to be 'cared for' when life is so much about 'caring about' - it feeds the inspiration and creativity ... comfort, hospitality, exceptional food - a perfect experience to complement the learning. Thank you.Julie - A Writer Progresses - October 2012
  • Dear Aaron, Alison, Wayne - This was the perfect present for my 40th birthday! I really enjoyed everytig of this weekend. I knew I was going to taste good wines, but I didn't expect to find such a high level of 'haut cuisine'!! I loved the laid back-relaxed way Aaron shared his great knowledge of the wines and the region. Thank you for your extreme kindness and inspriation. Real inspiration from people that do what they love in this life. And they do it well!!!Giacomo - Wine Weekend - May 2012

  • Dear Wayne, Alison, Caitlyn - You've got the hosting thing spot on. A rare combination of catering for our physical needs but also having the sensitivity to detect what each individual needs. Most importantly, I always felt that you actually love what you do. And, probably, the proof of all this was that I found it very easy to write a lot during the week. So, thanks again, and I'll be back for sureTerry - A Writer Progresses - May 2012
