Beautiful location, Massage Therapy, Restaurant

From services to staff, the value for money is exceptional. One can see that care and thought were put into the operation of the country lodge, and we'll definitely be back again in the future. One of our favourite destinations.

Great space for a country site retreat with a great restaurant and beautiful pool.

Stayed in March 2024

The room wasn't as nice as we hoped with the price but still a cute cottage vibe. We only had a bath which could have really done with a shower head so we didn't have to fill it every time we wanted a quick clean. The mini fridge was broken so kept freezing our drinks. The use of sauna and steam room wasn't included with the stay which we thought should have been advertised better.

Loved the scenery and the pool and swimming Dam. The horses and donkeys were lovely to greet in the mornings and the breakfast was really lovely for the price. The town of Stanford wasn't too far away and offered a great little choice of cafe's and restaurants also.

Dinners were good but would be improved by either a bit more choice particularly for vegetarians or alternatively a regular change to the evening meal menu.

What an awesome location! The staff were amazingly friendly, dinner at Manor House - WOWWWW!! Room was spacious and we loved the outdoor shower. The small touch a little bottle of sparkling wine in fridge was also so nice. We had an amazing massage at the spa. Pool is smartly tucked away so it’s safe from windy days! A really great getaway. We will be back again.

Room lacked good lighting for reading at night.

Beautiful location, superb staff, wonderful food.

Stayed in February 2024

No airconditioning was problematic given the heat, and we didn’t want to leave windows open at night as they had no screens for bugs. The pool area could use a bar (or honesty bar) for drinks or at least cold water, as every time we wanted a drink we had to walk balk up to the main lodge.

Amazing stay. Kind and attentive staff, great views and incredible food in the restaurant. Lots of wildlife on the property and a Beautiful pool area. Good spa treatments at reasonable prices. Great MTB trials, though be advised you need to bring your own bike and the closest rental shop is in Hermanus.

Absolutely nothing

This was my third stay, and it is a firm favourite. Everything about Stanford Valley Guest Lodge is wonderful; the welcome bottle of bubbly in our room, the location, the facilities, the food, the decor and the staff, who are all delightful, helpful and interested in the comfort and happiness of their guests. Our spa treatment was also excellent. We are already looking forward to our next stay there! We also just loved the beautiful new pool facility.

Stayed in February 2024

It was really hot and air con would have been nice or at least a bigger fan than what was provided.

Beautiful views. Exceptional restaurant. Outside shower in every room. Quirky decorations. Our room also had self catering facilities.

Stayed in January 2024

The accommodation is definitely rustic and felt a little overlooked. However if you don't mind that feel you'll love it.

The location was fantastic and beautiful. Make sure you walk up to the top dam as the views are spectacular.

Staff were so caring and helpful...much appreciated

Location of pool seemed odd. But hardly a problem!

Views and the dinner was fabulous!

Stayed in January 2024

Pool location is lovely but the water was cloudy and not very clean. We knew the restaurant woud be closed when we booked but the bar also shut at 7pm and no other food options made available. The rooms are lovely but the whole place had a rather 'shut down' feel. Breakfast was disappointing - poached eggs cooked solid. Nothing special

Lovely location and stylish property.

Stayed in January 2024

Nothing.

Amazing property on stunning grounds with panoramic views of the countryside. The cottages are very charming and the on-site restaurant looks fantastic (sadly it was closed for dinner on the night of our stay, which was the only disappointment).

Stayed in January 2024

A beautiful and tranquil country setting with a fantastic on-site restaurant. Helpful hosts on hand to help where you need.

Stayed in January 2024

Safe, picturesque, beautifully kept and appointed. We love the privacy, freedom to move around. We love the dam to se in and the pool.

Could have had an aircon in room; was still warm at night with fan.

Beautiful country setting with lovely views. Good amenities and quality restaurant on site.

Amazing location Superb restaurant with fair prices Very good spa

The only thing was that the bed was quite hard for my liking, but this is definitely a personal preference. Despite this, we both slept very well.

First off, I have to say the staff were amazing! The service impeccable. Everyone was highly trained and very friendly. The scenery was just exquisite. And then the food was absolutely delectable! I also had a lovely massage from a very nurturing masseuse.

Stayed in October 2023

I have zero complaints!

I loved everything about this place! It was so magical and very memorable! It’s great for families and couples. The facilities are great and the food at the restaurant is divine! The staff is very friendly and welcoming plus their service is great. I will definitely come here again…

Delicious breakfast and dinner. Outstanding service. Amazing country atmosphere. The two blue cranes at the dam were a real bonus. Bubbly in the fridge a lovely touch.
