    No issues, there are multitude of rooms to choose from, the ones adjacent to the manor house is nice but not as private, if you are looking for privacy I would recommend the cabins

    The most beautiful views and a real farm life experience, walking around the farm is stunning and it is situated n close proximity 5min drive from the best restaurants and wine farms in the Hemel and aarde Valey

    That the stay was too short. One month would be better than just a weekend away at such a scenic place

    Beautiful getaway from the city to enjoy tranquil moments of relaxation on the walks and in the wood-fired hot-tub that is allocated to each of the units.

    Not related to the accommodation, but the flies were just a nuisance.

    We liked the hot tub, as well as the outdoor bath and shower. The gas griller and the fireplace were an added bonus.

    We had to remain indoors most of the day due to a fly problem and it got extremely hot. The managers told us they've had this problem after the recent rainfalls and the Immediate warm days afterwards. The cabin came with a bug spray that helped keeping the flies out, but since we couldn't open up the sliding doors, the temperature inside became unbearable. A ceiling fan brought some comfort for a short while. An Air conditioning unit would've been great for this circumstance. Hopefully next time there won't be a fly problem.

    We liked everything about the place. We enjoyed the company of the horses, the beautiful backdrop of the mountains with clouds flowing over the peaks and down the mountain. The cabin is stunning and came with everything you needed. You only need to bring yourself and food. I love how open it feels when we could open up all the windows and sliding doors. If you want an open fire Braai, it needs to be arranged as the area has a high fire risk, as a former wildland fire fighter, I fully understand. A gas braai is available for the cabin. We will definitely visit again...

    I wouldnt say didnt like but I think if you are not familiar with the Kol Kol tub the venue should either assist by pre-stacking it so you can just light it up as this was a slight challenge. But once we got it going it was everything!!

    There was nothing we didnt like it was an amazing stay. The surrounds was peaceful and calm, a true gem. The helpfulness of the staff members was out of this world always going over and above what you expected. A special shout out to Sue! You were amazing and readily available even on your off day.

    On the pictures tney make it look like you jacuzzi is next to your room, but it's about 50meters away. The TV does not really work, so the days it's rainy you can't braai outside and can't watch TV so that's abit of a down.

    Obviously the jacuzzi as it's something totally different. The kitchen was well kitted so we could actually prepare food. The area is very beautiful and it was all in all a beautiful stay.

    All the restaurants around in this area (mostly situated on the beautiful wine farms) close latest at 5pm. If you want to have dinner, you have to deal with a 20 min drive to Hermanus. We had no room service.

    We received a very warm welcome, also from all of the dogs. The beautiful landscape and all the horses around gives you a fantastic holiday feeling. Sitting on the little terrace in front of our room, looking at all these beautiful flowers around and listening to birds and horses was a wonderful relaxing time for us. When I had some bad stomach problems, I was helped immediately with some medicine and a hot water bottle.
