    The outside of the room needs some maintenance, cracks to be repaired and paint to be done.

    The breakfast is fabulous. The restaurant is very cosy and propose very good food for lunch or diner. The room are old style and very spacious. The place is quiet and has a very big and beautiful garden.

    The plugs are very far from the bed so extension cables would be great to be able to use your phone or tablet while in bed.

    Lovely spacious unit, wished there was another couch to stretch out on, there is the space for it! And it would be great if we were offered to include milk (more than the little boxes provided - not enough for 3 adults and two kids).

    The decor is a little tired and the room could benefit from a few cushions and pictures,just to give it a more homely feel.The wardrobe is inconveniently located in the corner and has very little hanging space.There were a few tiles in the bathroom that should be replaced and an extractor fan would be an advantage, instead of having to open windows.

    Our room was spacious,with a very comfortable bed and a pleasant patio area.There was a large shower with lots of hot water and lovely toiletries.Breakfast was very good,with a nice selection - and the poached eggs were perfect,compliments to the chef! One evening we had supper at the restaurant,which was situated a short walk from our room and found the food and service to be of a high standard.Our parking bay was conveniently situated right outside our room,making it easy to carry our luggage in and out. The surrounding gardens were beautiful and the location handy for both Somerset West and Stellenbosch.

    Bathrooms need a bit of renovation but not bad at all

    The individual rooms/units were very spacious and comfortable and private. The pool was lovely in a beautiful garden surrounding. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was also great to have although make sure you book ahead for lunches and dinners. Location was just off a main road so didn’t feel like you were in the middle of nowhere.

    Doesn't really feel like a still running winefarm, but more a very, very nice and lovely place to stay. While being surrounded by winefarms. Again: an amazing stay, would come here for sure again.

    Wat a lovely small resort and winefarm, with a nice pool (area) in a beautifull colonial style building. Spacious rooms. With a nice veranda/porch to spend the evening outside. Very nice staff. Very good restaurant. One of our best stays in South-Africa.
