    Stunning location with fantastic staff and service!

    The power tripped a few times throughout the evening and next morning (an Eskom problem however) and noise from the road was a bit louder than we would have liked for the stunning location that we were in. Flies over breakfast were a bit annoying but staff brought a candle out to ward them off, which helped.

    The location itself was stunning, nice sized super clean suite and bed super comfortable with great views, and staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Loved the bathroom set-up too (although note that the two showers are connected so if one goes hot the other goes colder)!

    Beautiful location 2km outside Tulbagh in a vineyard setting. Big, comfortable and clean room and attentive staff. Distance to the town (Tulbagh) is few minutes by car which makes it a perfect location - close enough to the town's activities .

    Fantastic estate perfect for a recharge
    • Leisure trip

    Just like most hotels in the wider region you can experience loadshedding (electricity cut off in a part of the region). The hotel communicates these up front and most of the times these are shorter than communicated. When we were there (end of February '24) there were 3 scheduled cut offs a day, each with a maximum of 2 hours. Most didn't last that long though.

    Fantastic setting at the end of the valley. Wonderful views over the vineyards with the mountains in the back. it's really nice to eat on the terrace like this. The personnel is really friendly and will always be willing to help out. The wines are fantastic and the food is decent. It's a lovely spot to wind down and recharge. The rooms are really spacious and have warm atmosphere. We loved the shower with double shower heads.

    Being told at reception that the 1st lot of water in our room was free and after that we had to purchase it! Only being able to use cards and no cash. I like to tip people that I feel deserve it. Bedroom décor a little bland could do with a splash of colour,

    The view from the accommodation was great. Ample parking. Good size bedroom and bathroom with a separate toilet. Great setting just outside of town.
