    A perfect home away from home - we and our two young children loved it.

    We couldn't fault our stay Rooiheuwel Cottage - our hosts were absolutely charming and the cottage beautifully equipped, extremely clean and comfortable and the location on the farm was beautiful. We only wish we could have stayed a little longer to explore the area further, but this gives us an excuse to come back!

    Didn’t like to have to leave.

    We loved that the cottage was so well equipped. The Olde World charm really appealed to us. We also enjoyed being able to barbecue on the patio. It felt very cosy, a real home away from home! The owner was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. She made us feel more like a special guest than a visitor. She recommended the best places and restaurants to visit in the area which made our lives so much easier. We will definitely be back!

    Comfortable farm stay, with easy access to town and neighbouring wine farms & venues.

    The only downside was no water during load shedding, although if Anina is home she runs the generator and then you do have water. We worked around it, and it was ok. Just something to consider though.

    We enjoyed our stay at Rooiheuwel. We were in the area for a wedding, and the location was very convenient, as well as access. We thoroughly enjoyed having the animals around to entertain us too. Very cute dogs & cat. Anina was very accommodating and communication was great.

    Hardly anything. But at a stretch, maybe a two plate to cook but there is a microwave. Circumstantial to my needs. Not a deal breaker. Was aware that only a microwave was available before coming so had made my plans accordingly.

    The staff are uber friendly and accommodating, potential issues are addressed before they occur (the SA factor), cleanliness is top priority, easy access.

    Anina's warm and friendly welcome to her comfortable, spacious and tastefully furnished cottage makes you feel at home. Enjoy the sheltered stoep and braai area and luxurious bed with hot blanket on a cold night! Every thing supplied was of the finest quality. It is a working farm and Helius went out of his way to show us the grafting of the vines. We will be back!

    As an owner of a B&B myself, I know I would appreciate critique from my guests. So here goes..... The single bed's mattress is shot. My father chose to sleep in the single bed and said it is like a hammock in the middle and is flattened on the one side, probably from people sitting on the edge of the mattress. Also, the kitchen needs a dish sponge and lappie to wash and wipe up. In the shower, a little bar of soap would have been nice in case one forgets to bring a shower scrunchie or sponge. Wasn't too thrilled with the visitors parking in front of our windows encroaching on our awesome view, even if they didn't stay too long. From the photos, I was under the impression that the outside patio and fireplace faced the view - I was looking forward to having sundowners on the patio looking out at your incredible views.

    Anina and her husband are gracious and affable hosts and were very accommodating. The location was beautiful and the cottage quaint and appealing and cozy. Enjoyed the grafting tour and the dogs, although I sadly never got to see Mary the cat.... Was pleasantly surprised by the personalized welcoming note by the front door.
