    Incredible all round.

    I would suggest getting a menu that is suitable to cater for possibly a dinner burger or a dinner curry, it would be so nice to include this in your menu.

    We absolutely love this place, this is the 2nd time we are back in a month. I would suggest upping the room cleaning service, we found that items were not replenished that were used on the first night like shower caps, cotton buds etc....... however this place and its people are incredibly amazing. we will be back soon again.

    I have been to 50+ different places in the Cape Wine Region and this hotel is by far the best ever when it comes to value for money. Extremely well maintained and looked after accommodation with many beautiful and luxury details, very very friendly staff and amazing kitchen (breakfast and dinner). Don't try anywhere else

    A very well-appointed room in a newly renovated farm boutique hotel. Set in a beautiful garden, and managed by excellent staff. The breakfast was amazing. Simple, but executed perfectly. Probably one of the tastiest I’ve ever had in a hotel. Loved our short stay.

    Nothing. But there could have been another baby chair at the restaurant, as we were not the only guests with small kids.

    Adara Hotel is such a peaceful place. We spent 4 nights with our 2 kids (1/2year and 2 1/2y), who enjoyed the family rooms (mountain view room no. 7, including nice kitchenette with full bean coffee machine and even oat milk!). Everything was so clean and everybody was so friendly. As it was very hot, we stayed at the private pool two full days, which has been cleaned at least every morning. The kids loved the big areal, the squirrels and the birds as well as the sprinklers on the lawn. The restaurant was so good and the waiters helped us with our kids, when they were already done with eating. The wine is fantastic as well. I recommend the excellent Chenin blanc. The Pastery Chef did even bake a lovely birthday cake for my wife We made a trip to babylonstoren, which we definitely recommend (~20 min drive)

    The best breakfast - eggs brialliantly cooked - as requested. Cerial, fruit, yoghurts, chees & s. salmon - all first class. Dinner excellent - oysters a favourite. All staff were great from the moment we arrived when they swapped our room to a downstairs room so we didn't have to negotiate stairs.

    We thought the food in the restaurant was a little average. Also the coffee at the restaurant/breakfast came from a machine and wasn’t the best, it would be a nice bonus if there would be actual barista coffee machine :-).

    We loved everything about this hotel! This was the most gorgeous estate we’ve ever stayed at. Staff was wonderful too! We were very sad to leave after four days.

    The hand showerhead in our room (13) was so high up, that smaller persons (160cm or less) can hardly reach for it. The same goes for the amenities (showerr gel etc.)

    Very nice under the trees. Small buffet, warm (egg) dishes made to order.

    if I had to be picky, the pool could be a little more taken care of but it wasn't a biggy at all

    Everything was way above expectations! The place is stunning and really well maintained. Beautiful houses and gardens under magnificent trees. Breakfast and diners under the tree or on the terrace were delicious and the staff absolutely lovely made you feel at home. Little details of attention along the day, small capacity which makes it feel like you have privatised the place most of the time. Extremely relaxing and pleasant THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
