The current homestead was built in 1930, by Major McGregor Knox, he built Tecnevin as his summer house, after time the Major returned to Scotland and the house was sold. During world war II, Tecnevin was a dairy and taken over to supply the armed forces with milk.

Lovely property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shoreham. Great position and gorgeous grounds. It was nice to get out of the city and be only an hour away feeling like we were on a farm. It was cosy and the cottage was gorgeous. Thank you. We will be back.
Georgie HGreat stay! Beautiful property with tons of space. The tennis court got a good workout. Had a great time, thank you!
Mark GWe stayed here overnight as part of a friends hens celebration. The house was perfect, gorgeous grounds close to the beach and wineries. We even had a hit of tennis on the court! Everything was easy and well communicated, I would recommend to others wanting a lovely little hideaway.
