    I had to call for a fan to be provided for the room which was forgotten. They did bring one when asked at night.

    Lovely breakfast and very comfortable bed

    What is there “not to like”… Wonderful!!

    A lovely spacious room with fresh flowers, complemented by a picturesque garden & historic homestead/buildings brimming with stories/history. Enjoyed a view of Table Mountain from afar. Breakfast offered a diverse selection, & the management was exceptional, ensuring a comfortable very welcoming experience. Kerry the manager was extremely hospital & went above & beyond, making us feel truly at home. Our stay was simply wonderful! No Loadshedding 24/7.

    Interesting Property

    It feels a little tired and could do with a bit of TLC - it is clear that a lot of time and effort and money has been put into the property at some point and it has been really nicely done, but it feels like it might have deteriorated slightly since then - which is a real shame as it has potential to be INCREDIBLE! The pool was rather green and we wouldn't have liked to use it. Some of the garden areas were overgrown with weeds and some of the white paint is no longer white.

    This is the most beautiful property, it has so much character! The rooms are really interesting and quirky and are all great sizes. The views are great too which is a bonus. Breakfast was really lovely and it's nice to be able to eat in the dining room which has tonnes of historic charm.

    Some things might need touch ups or renovations. The door to my veranda was making a bit of noise on windy days, a chair arm in my room needs fixing

    Gorgeous property, even more beautiful that on the pictures. The staff is lovely and very attentive. I doubled the duration of my stay from two to four nights and they were very accommodating. The breakfast is great! The pond is stunning and the sunsets at the property are breathtaking. I highly recommend this place and will be back!

    Move mirror down in the bathroom. I’m 5ft3. It’s suitably placed for someone more like 6ft. Warm up breakfast plates. Bring breakfast and toast out at the same time. Don’t like waiting for either as one or the other gets cold. I was the only person at the time in the breakfast room so no excuses.

    Lovely staff and comfortable room. Historical buildings. Well priced. The gardens have really come alive and looked beautiful.

    The setting is amazing. Watching the sunset whilst drinking a glass of locally made Chenin Blanc was a lovely way to end the day. Location to Stellenbosch and Cape Town are perfect for anyone looking to get around and enjoy some of the less touristy areas. The staff are fantastic and make it feel like a home away from home. Plenty of golf for the golfers and good wine all over the place.

    The swimming pool was very disappointing given the heat, around 30 degrees. Frogs in the pool and slimy. Black bottom pools hide an unkept pool.

    The old antique farm style decor together with the tranquil setting, delicious breakfast and stunning bedroom.

    Seeing that it is an old house(we loved it) the locks to the rooms is a bit tricky, and that's all, folks

    What a breakfast, enjoyed in beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, served with a smile! Special requests catered for, with no complaints from the chef or staff. Will definitely stay there again-highly recommended

    Water in pool was not crystal blue, but maybe it's because the water comes from the borehole

    The place looks better than the pictures advertised.

    The fridge in the rooms was very noisy and all of us unplugged them overnight. Would be great to have some information on the farm and what to do in the area. as no one could tell me the history of the farm. Nearest places to eat in the evening is a 20 minute drive to Stellenbosch.

    We had three rooms in the cottage which has the most stunning garden and views. The rooms are large and we loved the baths! The old Cape Dutch House and gardens were beautiful with views over Table Mountain. Lovely to be on an old historic farm and see the way they've adapted buildings for accommodation.
