    The room was a little hot but the fan mitigated this.

    Spotlessly clean, charming host, friendly staff, fantastic swimming pool, amazing view.

    The Buffelsdam staff were particularly nice and helpful: they gave us a tour of the garden and of the swimming pool area, they kindly booked for us a nearby restaurant where we had a fantastic dinner and they even contacted us after we have left offernig to ship a garment we had forgotten there. We were upgraded to a spacious family unit, equipped with kitchen, living room, two large rooms with bathroom. The rich and tasty breakfast was served on a patio overlooking the pool and the garden. Everything was just perfect; despite it was quite cold as it was July, we were offered a wood stove to warm the flat

    We stayed 2 nights at the property and had a wonderful time. The owner is kind and has mamy nice tips on what to do in the area. The place is clean, rooms are well maintained with good beds, breakfasts were nice. There is a nice pool for adults and a small one for children which is a rare offer. We will definately go back.

    Unfortunately no wifi/TV during loadshedding so remote working from here would not be ideal.

    Stunning surroundings and good location- close to wine estates nearby and short drive to Plett and Keurbooms. Very yummy breakfast provided. Lovely rooms which were well equipped, clean and cozy, with beautiful views! Amazing service by the host - very friendly and hospitable, and the website they set up is super helpful! It has recommendations of restaurants nearby/ things to do/ info about the accommodation etc. Would 100% recommend staying here for a lovely relaxed weekend.

    Struggling to think of anything! The guest swimming pool had some sand on the bottom and could maybe use a vacuum

    Corry was a fantastic host - super friendly and gave us loads of great recommendations (my favourite was the Bramon wine estate restaurant which is 5 mins from the property). Also hosted a braii on the last night of our stay which was fun We were able to use her private infinity pool overlooking the pond during our stay which was great and the house, grounds and gardens are beautiful We stayed in a first floor room which overlooked the garden and had huge French window. Room was really big and beds really comfy. Very clean too. No aircon and load shedding meant we couldn’t use the fan so it did get a bit hot in the room at night (we stayed end of summeR)

    The walls are too thin, you could hear your neighbours.

    The owners and staff went above and beyond to ensure my toddler had everything he needed. We were extremely impressed with the kindness and respect they showed him and us. Amazing location, so tranquil and relaxing.

    Warm and welcoming staff. Beautiful & clean rooms, with a comfortable bathroom. Lovely property with pool and stunning Mountain View. Highly recommend. Felt very safe driving to the location even as two girls which is great 😁 yummy and varying continental breakfast spread!
