    My two- day stay @ Weltevreden Estate.

    There was no milk ( one in the small cartons) for coffee in the room.I had to buy a cuppachino with powdered milk.I guess the cleaning ladies did see one empty packet I left there. The bathroom sink was leaking,I had to dry it with toilet paper. I informed the cleaning ladies.

    The atmosphere around the estate is quite warm. The staff is also friendly. It was also safe.I arrived late on Friday & left early on Sunday,but it was quiet.

    The route getting there was through a residential suburb which didn’t feel very safe. But then we discovered the R304 which was much better.

    Beautiful historical house with sculptures on a wine farm.

    The restaurant is only open until 17. Breakfast is delicious, but à la carte. However the staff was very flexible accommodating additional whishes.

    Perfect for a relaxed get-away weekend. Nicely furnished, green gardens and a playground for kids (situated so guests without kids also can enjoy their stay!).

    Everything was fine. A small detail: the roof wasn’t totally clean, but it’s an old house.

    Staffs were welcoming and very nice, such a pleasure. Beautiful area with 17th buildings and gardens. Really enjoyed the fact they kept a similar style for the decoration of the room themselves, creating an ambiance of old and luxury. Very good à quality price ratio!

    Beautiful place which does not serve dinner. Nevertheless, it's worth recommending it for everybody!

    - Restaurant serves only breakfast and light lunch. There is no information both on Booking.com and on your official website that you are not serving dinner. Further, all pictures suggest that it is fully operational which is not true. Please adjust it accordingly as this is very important information. - There was no fridge in the room, only a small one shared with 4 other rooms which was filled with wine for 200-250 ZAR per bottle. - The toilet is located inside the room and is separated from the rest of the space only by a free-standing screen. This means that your partner hears and sometimes sees you doing number 1 and number 2. No privacy in this matter. I am mentioning this point as there is no picture showing the actual toilet situation :-)

    Beautiful place - no questions about that! Our room was nice and cosy with a comfortable bed! Was fully backed up from loadshedding and well secured! Spending time at Weltevreden Estate will make you feel like you're back in the good times of the colonial era - in the good sense of the word! Great experience! Strongly recommend that place to everybody!

    The room is a bit dark and the bed room lamps have way too bright florescent bulbs. Another plug in the room nearer to the bedside table would be nice. No bottle opener for the wine that I thought was complementary but was not so it was good in the end I could not open it.

    Comfy bed, great breakfast, beautiful grounds to walk upon, friendly staff.

    They can maybe fit these rooms with a small bar fridge for quests to put cold water or drinks in. The restaurant closes at 5 and then everyone leaves. The estate is a few minutes drive from shops and especially in the heat it would be nice to keep drinks cold for the evening.

    So beautiful and relaxed. Very friendly staff. Immediately attended to plumbling leak and aircon problems.
