    Absolute gem! Very nicely appointed, generously big rooms with extraordinary attention to details and personal touches. The estate as well as the food is top notch. Make sure to ask for a sunset Picknick with the Land Rover. Francois the General Manager also is a total beauty! Highly recommend!

    only the restaurant was not great and a little bit too expensive and the hotel is close to a big road (you will hear traffic during the night)

    very nice vineyard hotel with french flair, pool area is stunning, staff super friendly.

    peaceful, affordable luxury, attentive, makes one feel like you are the most important guest. Spoils were massages for two and a lovely picnic on top of the hill at the estate as well as wine tasting at sunset. The property manager was really so good and made sure we were comfortable at all times.

    It is located a 45min return trip to the nearest town (Swellendam) so you are heavily reliant on the hotel’s dining offering. The restaurant is good but over our two day stay the breakfast, lunch and dinner menu was unchanged and had limited offerings for kids.

    Beautiful setting and surrounds. The farm has a stunning pool and gardens. The rooms with antique furnishings is pretty, quaint and comfortable.

    Nothing really but be careful for small “veld muisies!” Also closer to main road than what we thought

    Peaceful atmosphere in very pleasant rustic farm environment. Pool area and pool joyful with very good food. Staff very accommodating.

    Acceptable, albeit at this price point owners need to focus on some basics to claim 5 star.

    Facility requires attention (maintenance & cleanliness) in certain areas. Impression that owners are not investing in ongoing maintenance. Farmyard shows lack of maintenance and so does homestead gardens.

    Great room. Quite (albeit highway noise) on occasion & peaceful. A place for proper R&R.
