    Great location. Lovely boutique vineyard! Free wine tasting included in the booking, which was delicious! Also a complimentary bottle of wine in the room which was nice! The room I had was so spacious and decorated so nicely! Staff were also really kind and helpful! Felt safe and secure during my stay. Locked gates over night with fob entry, as well as a security guard. Good location and can easily get Uber’s to other vineyards or into Stellenbosch!

    A home away from home! The host Alethea was wonderful and really went the extra mile. It is private, quiet, well equipped and the small outdoor seating area and braai is such a bonus.

    Very quiet and pretty location. Charming host, and we loved the dogs :-). Suite was supplied with a few essentials (tea, milk, ...) which was nice. Load-shedding didn't affect essentials,

    Our stay was fantastic from start to finish. Linda is the most charming host and the property is beautiful. The accommodation was perfect, the breakfasts amongst the best we’ve ever had. Located at the top of a hill just outside Stellenbosch, the views are incredible, peaceful and quiet.
