    weather! No, we were treated so well there is nothing much I could ask them to improve on, maybe a small welcome snack on arrival would have been nice

    Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented

    incredible estate, with the most amazing people taking care of everything. Views, surroundings, nature around the place is great for a short escape from the business of towns or just special occasions with your loved ones. The main house and rooms have incredible taste and vibe. You could feel like you have moved back in time without loosing the luxury of nowadays times.

    Such a lovely place to stay if you’re in need of a relaxing break where everything is taken care of for you. The staff were very helpful and friendly. If you choose to dine with them, all the guests meet on the veranda beforehand for a drink and a chat with sunset, which is a nice way to start the evening! If you want activities, there are plenty the hotel can arrange for you, however the pool area is great so we spent most of our time there! The restaurant in the winery next door is also great for a light lunch.

    The only thing that i didn't like was the noise from all the cars that drove past our private cottage. It made trying to relax on the stoep very uncomfortable. It's a pity as that is really the only negative, everything else was amazing!

    The hotel is beautiful and in a stunning setting. The staff are amazing, friendly & attentive. We really felt spoilt and welcomed. The food was absolutely delicious! The chef took all our dietary requirements and preferences into consideration & produced the most delicious dishes for us. The setting is breathtaking with beautiful views in every direction. The grounds are well looked after and you can see alot of effort has gone into setting up the walking trails for guests to enjoy. And all the little extra touches were much appreciated. Thank you for an amazing weekend!

    I can't think of anything I didn't like.

    Everything, from the food, the staffs, the desert, the landscape, everything was amazing. I didn't want to leave. The owner a wonderful guy, aways checked on us to make sure we were okay. He organised our spa treatment. The rooms are beautiful especially the bathroom. Really loved this place. The hike by the river was very pleasant

    Spiders and other crawlies in bed. Stuffiness - air the room before guests arrive. Lack of flowers. The place looked bare when we arrived. I took my hubby and I was embarrassed.

    The breakfast. The bathroom mirror.
