Testimonials

I stayed at Dido’s Place with my bridal party the night before my wedding in Sackville. From enquiring right through until after our stay was over, Nila was the most accommodating host we could have asked for. There were so many special touches which made the visit special.
As for Dido’s Place itself: gorgeous. The rooms are spacious and comfortable (our first night there, we had 9 adults and one infant and there was plenty of room) and the facilities are great. Part of our party made good use of the hot tub, and some even tried their hand at fishing in the dam with rods provided at the property (the groom was able to catch and release a carp). It’s a beautiful spot in a quiet area. My husband and I are hoping to return on a less whirlwind trip so that we can experience it all over again.
— Taylor

What a truly amazing & luxurious house to stay at. Absolutely everything you could imagine was thought of. I stayed here the night before, and the night of our wedding and it was truly beautiful. We even used the front lawn to have our pre-wedding photos. Nila bent over backwards to ensure that everything was perfect and even left some heart felt gifts for all of us. Definitely recommend as a five star place to stay!
— Donna

What a beautiful property! We recently had the pleasure of staying here as our wedding was close by. The house is perfectly set up with everything you could possibly need. It’s super kid friendly, but also quiet and tranquil if an adults only getaway is what you’re after. Nila was incredible to deal with - so communicative, warm and professional. She made the whole experience so easy. I highly recommend her and Dido’s Place for your next getaway.
— Victoria

Oh where do I begin! The moment I stepped into the Didos Place property, it felt warm, welcoming and special. I stayed here for my recent wedding and it was the perfect place to unwind and prepare for such a special moment in my life with my nearest and dearest girls. The location is easy to find and very, very peaceful. The landscape and backdrop is stunning!! There is all the comforts of being at home, anything you might need or want, Nila has thought of. It’s a very relaxing place, with an outdoor fire and spa to let thoughts melt away. The gardens are immaculate and very special. It was an amazing spot to have wedding photography with my bridesmaids and wedding car. It is a short drive to food & venues. and easily accessible for vendors and make up artists/hair stylists to get to. Highly recommend booking a stay at Didos Place, I will be back sometime in the future!! Thank you Nila & family for what you have created and share with others, very special and outstanding.
