    The entrance driveway a bit difficult to navigate without a 4x4.

    The owners and staff were so hospitable and made us feel at home. Such a happy farm with beautiful views and tranquil surroundings.

    Want to stay in a traditional farm house which is wonderful, then stay at Linwood

    Need some work on service in the restaurant area plus the drinks in the bar are limited and of short supply.

    Loved the fact that we stayed on a farm while in Clarens and the house we stayed in was enormous and a real old tradition farm house but with a slight modern feel

    Linwood Guest Farm - first of many visits

    - We liked everything about the farm - Our only suggestion (given load shedding in SA) is that solar or generator be considered. That said, they do have gas

    - Very well located 6km outside Clarens on Fouriesberg Road - Excellent accommodation and value for money - thank you Hannetjie - Good restaurant located on the farm - great service from Charmaine and Grace. Delicious food.

    There is a beautiful country restaurant on the premises that serves great food, we had breakfast there. The menu is great, offering curry, eisbein, seafood etc. There is a cave you can walk to on an adventure hike, so worthwhile. The alpacas are fun too !

    Even with the wall heater and fire going the room is cold, so pack warm clothes. The lighting in the room is quite dim.

    This was my 2nd stay at Linwood, the previous time was in summer. It's gorgeous in winter too. The room is gorgeous and the bath is perfect for long hot baths. Hannetjie is a gem, such an amazing host and my dog and I felt totally at home there.

    The road from the gate to the permises is really requiring attention - especially when driving by car.

    Enjoyed our stay. New restaurant on the premises is a plus point, although not operational everyday.

    The one ply toilet paper doesn't quite fit with the luxury feel of the place. There is no lighting over the bath and kitchen area. As others have noted a tv would be great. The units are close together so noise from other visitors wasn't pleasant.

    The place is gorgeous and the room very tastefully decorated. The views of the mountains are breathing! The alpacas are a delight, as are the turkeys, ducks, chicken and bunnies. It is very dog friendly, there were no rules imposed and the residents dogs are very well socialized. Just note there is no fence around the units. We were greeted by Hannetjie, she is absolute gem and made us feel so welcome.

    The restaurant on the property isn't open every day. Also some sort of back-up power during loadshedding would be great.

    Hannetjie is an excellent hostess, will go out of her way to ensure you're happy and comfortable. Far enough from town for peace and tranquility but close enough when you need to get into town. Farm setting so enjoyed all the animals around too.
