TandaTula, Wine Country Sanctuary with Pool, Hot Tub, Bocce, Fire Pits and More!

Tanda Tula means ‘place of peace’ in the Zulu language, and you will find the gated home and its grounds the perfect place to relax. On 1.25 flat, landscaped acres, and surrounded by vineyards, the property consists of a main house opening onto a pool, hot tub and gardens, as well as a private cottage, a barn and a studio.

Main House
The house consists of three stylishly appointed bedrooms, with one large tub for two, and showers in the two bathrooms. The beds all have Duxiana, Simmons Beautyrest or similar hotel quality mattresses with high thread count Egyptian cotton linens, and down duvets and pillows. There is a California king in two of the rooms, and a queen in the third.

The living and dining room are furnished with modern country pieces and wine country artwork on the walls. A wood burning stove and 42 inch flat panel TVs with DirectTV and DVD player provide comfortable areas to relax around a game or to watch a movie. A high quality Sonos music system and ceiling mounted speakers throughout the house provide rich music for your stay, controllable from your phone, and wireless internet and a computer are available if you wish to stay connected.

A modern kitchen with Subzero refrigerator and 5 burner chefs stove with warming tray provides everything needed for the most delicious meals. Coffee maker, French press, toasting oven, mixer, waffle maker and Wusthof chef knives are among the many appliances and accessories to this well equipped kitchen.

The home is equipped with both heating and air conditioning for all seasons, as well as washer and dryer. Large French doors bring the outdoors and views of the vineyards inside from every direction.

A mains connected Weber barbeque is available on the deck for outdoor cooking.

The patio offers a modern concrete firepit and comfortable lounge sofas for enjoying a cheese plate and a glass of wine, while a large rustic outdoor table seats 10 comfortably under the filtered shade of the arbor. French style café tables and chairs offer additional seating under the redwood or walnut trees, and adirondacks by the pool or on the lawn are another lovely choice for relaxing.

Cottage
The cottage is newly remodeled and private, with open beams and a sliding barn door, sleeping two on a queen bed, and another two on a futon. Ceiling fan, heating and air conditioning help offer a good nights sleep. Well appointed shower, Bluetooth music system and flat panel TV are further amenities.

Gardens and Pool
The gardens offer a large lawn for throwing a ball, or a game of croquet, surrounded by palette of wine country grasses, olive trees, and a little vineyard with 8 different varietals of table grapes. Fruit trees include persimmons, plums, apples, figs, pears, nectarines, pomegranates and cherries, while a seasonal herb and tomato garden are yours to enjoy.

The regulation size bocce court offers another great way to enjoy an afternoon.

The hot tub warms up quickly to 104 degrees and the pool is solar heated to extend the season for its enjoyment. Several modern chaise lounges and large adjustable umbrellas set the scene for a perfect day by the pool.

Studio
The Studio is a classic, small and private wine country cabin, next to the main house, recently remodeled, and consisting of a well-appointed room with queen bed, 42” flat panel TV and Xbox, with beautiful French doors opening onto a private patio with French café table and chairs, in the shade of a mature redwood tree, and with commanding views of the pool and garden. The studio is detached from the main house and does not have its own bathroom, so may be more suitable for day use, depending on your needs.

Barn
The barn is the perfect place to enjoy a game of pool or table tennis, or for the kids to hang out and listen to music or play on the back deck.

The Area
Dry Creek Valley, a premium winegrowing region, is located in Northern Sonoma County, California, only an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge/San Francisco. Renowned for its idyllic undisturbed beauty, Dry Creek Valley is home to over 9,000 acres of vineyards that carpet the intimate 16-mile long x 2-mile wide valley, floor to hillside. Visitors to Dry Creek Valley can find a complementary mix of wine country history and modern luxury in nearby Healdsburg. Only moments away from the wineries and vineyards, the quaint charm of this town has made it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Activities in the Healdsburg and the Dry Creek Valley include wine tasting, cycling, kayaking, hiking, spas, boating, dining, exercising, and yoga. You also have the option of hiring a personal chef.

Due to neighborhood noise and parking sensitivities, Tanda Tula is not available for loud events or parties, or for day use by more than 15 people. It is a condition of the rental agreement that any security deposit will be forfeit in the event of a neighbor noise or parking complaint. Tanda Tula is available for a maximum of 10 overnight guests. A surcharge of $200 per guest per night over 10 will be charged. TOT# 1248N

Amazing Getaway Weekend At Tanda Tula!
We celebrated my 40th birthday with a number of friends (all left kids behind at home) at Tanda Tula and had the most wonderful time. From the moment we set foot on the property we knew we weren't going to leave until we had to. It felt luxurious without being over the top. Nice touches everywhere added to that - lovely coffee and tea selection, wonderful seating areas all over, water bottles in the bedroom. We felt so well taken care of. We're already dreaming of returning! Thank you Elisa for a truly special vacation.

Spectacular and fun
Such a beautiful and fun property! All of the outdoor areas were so special and fun for all to enjoy. The outdoor shower under the redwood trees was a huge hit Plenty of space and activities for the kids to spread out, and the property was so well stocked with toys, games, and pool floats. Every detail was really thought through and we didn't need anything. The pool table"barn" was also so special. The host Elisa was very helpful and also understanding and gracious. We would recommend this property to anyone and we loved it so much!

My ony issue was having to leave. We will certainly be back.

Heaven in Healdsburg
We were completely blown away by this property in Healdsburg. Sometimes the photos on VRBO seem just a little too perfect, and the house ends up a disappointment. NOT the case with this home- pictures can not do it justice. From the extraordinarily well stocked kitchen to the amazing game room, luxurious amenities and thoughtful details (a bottle of water and flowers in each room?!), this place does not let you down. And then there is the exterior, with it's stunning pool and magazine-worthy landscaping and features- bocce, fire pits, a bed in a "vineyard". We will definitely be back!

The Getaway That Has It All
We have stayed at Tanda Tula as a 10 person three generational family multiple times, and have always been delighted. This time we made a point of enjoying all of the varied activities offered. We relaxed and exercised in the pool; we played outdoor games with the many toys stored away for guest use; the hot tub was a welcome warmup spot; we played bocce at cocktail hour under those fun string lights; we played games of billiards and had cocktail hour another night in that space; and we had a little contained bonfire in the fire pit in the vineyard, sipping coffee and having dessert under the stars. Our family music night was a delight in the living room with room for all, and the well stocked kitchen saw our family chefs happily producing gourmet food for all. The setting for all of this and more was great--comfy beds, bathrooms that had all we needed. We just can't say enough good things about this property. We will return.

Paradise in Wine Country
What an absolutely amazing wine country experience! We had a family reunion for my husband’s 60th birthday at Tanda Tula and this beautiful property surpassed our highest expectations. From the host Elise’s gracious and communicative interaction, to the beaucolic setting, comfortable bedrooms and living spaces, and fully stocked kitchen, our celebration was truly memorable. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, the beautifully landscaped gardens, fruit from the plum trees and the bed in the vineyard. We extended our stay another day because we didn’t want to leave. And when my grandaughter lost her precious pearl necklace on Tanda Tula’s lawn, and we had already left the property, the kindest of caretakers dropped everything and immediately went on a search for it. The necklace was indeed found and we are back home now dreaming of our next stay in this beautiful corner of Dry Creek Valley. Do not hesitate to book this beautiful home. We will certainly be back for an even longer stay.

Our Very Favorite VRBO
Our extended family of 10 has stayed at Tanda Tula several times. We always find it to be magical, providing all the basics and adding extras like the bocce court with fairy lights above the court, a fire pit in a mini vineyard with a lounge for relaxing and stargazing, a separate building with a pool table, a movie screen and more. The pool and hot tub are always a pleasure, and should we need help or advice about anything, that is only a text away. The main house is beautifully equipped and welcoming. We will return!

Perfect Healdsburg escape
The property location couldn't be better - it's surrounded by vineyards in the Dry Creek Valley, but very close to the wineries and a short drive to downtown. As great at the photos are, the property is even more amazing in-person. It's a great blend of modern and comfort, and there are so many fun and thoughtful surprises like the game room, bed in the vineyard, multiple fire-pits, and basketball hoop. We would definitely stay here again.
