    Not much to complain about at all. My only comment would be that I thought the charge for heating the hot tub before arrival should be included in the price for the night. Although I understand the desire to minimize wood usage if guests are not arriving on time and using excess wood.

    Great location, comfortable, a lot of effort has gone into making this spot beautiful. We arrived after dark so we could not take in the view while enjoying the hot tub but saw the potential the next morning as we could see down the valley from the cottage. Lovely spot would definitely stay again!

    Choosing Equleni Guest Farm was one of the best decisions my boyfriend and I made on our trip. It is a beautiful place in the middle of nature where you can relax and just sit with your thoughts for a while. If wanted the hosts provide you with fire wood, braai food, a heat up service for the jacuzzi and much more. There are also some nice walks around the farm that lead you to waterholes and so on. Definitly recommending this place!

    We had an absolutely amazing stay in the Cabin. It is the furthest unit, at the end of the farm with beautiful views of the Rondevlei, with absolute privacy. The Cabin is spacious with two beautiful and fully equipped rooms and en-suite bathrooms; a kitchen and dining room with everything you may need - and more. Apart from ‘the normal’ milk, coffee and tea, they provided perfectly measured sachets of filter coffee for the plunger, complete with packets of biscuits and a pot of marshmallows. It has a nice balcony /deck area with comfortable sun-loungers and a gas bbq with little table, equipped with all braai tongs and dishes, put ready. Just off the terrace is a braai / fire pit with a wood fired hot tub - which was pre-heated when we arrived…. It was the absolute highlight of our trip. It was amazing to sit in the hot water, glasses of wine in hand, admiring the stars in the clear skies or listening to the birds chirp away. The whole weekend was absolutely amazing with every possible comfort because everything is clearly very lovingly furnished and put together. In addition to the facilities described on their site, there are so many little touches and nice surprises to be experienced. Hint: order the breakfast! It is AMAZING! Hiking is available on the farm and in the adjacent Wilderness National Park. We did not have personal contact with the hosts, but the communication was amazing and prompt via WhatsApp.

    Would have liked the bathroom to be more private with walls to the ceiling.

    Our cold and rainy late afternoon arrival was met with cozy well equipped living unit, a steaming pool and a gas braai. Complementary filter water on tap, milk and filter coffee provided over and above normal tea and coffee. This establishment offers packed self-cook meal options for supper and breakfast.

    NOTHING! It was perfect.

    Equleni Guest Farm A GEM! Coming from a hospitality background it is not always hard to go on holiday open minded, as you have a trained eye for detail etc. I can happily say that this was THE BEST holiday we have had!! The Or hid studio is a secluded gem, surrounded by a lush garden. The cozy interior designed beautifully to fit the farm-style, was SPOTLESS! Not a strand of hair, dust or any creepy crawlies in sight, despite it being in the midst of a gorgeous farm surrounded by wildlife. The continental breakfast was served delicious treats, on a large tray of mouthwatering goodies - it felt like we were dinning in a five star Resturant - and the romantic turndown was magnificently done with proteas, hearts chocolates and some sparkling wine - which we enjoyed in the inviting hot-tub (a must) under the stars. The setting is magical, the scenery breathtaking and the ambience serene. Just what the soul needs! We will be back :)

    The information on booking.com was a bit misleading as it doesn’t specify individual cabins. We spent our first night in a small cabin which faced a garden and not the view we thought we were getting. But the hosts were brilliant in moving us into a a better cabin at no extra cost with little extras to compensate and make our stay truly special.

    Lovely spacious cabin with everything you could possibly need. Lovely views and very responsive hosts. The hot tub, which we paid extra for, was a highlight of our trip.

    The self cook breakfast delivered to us in the mornings was really more than ample, very fresh and delicious. The position of our little cottage was excellent! Far away from the buzz of city life, just perfect for a weekend of relaxation and nature. We really enjoyed the beautiful bird life around the cottage.
