    There's nothing to complain about.

    We just plain love it there! Relaxing and calm place with a stunning view. There's nothing better than just sitting on the terrace and looking at the mountains. Beautiful people and nice pizza. We will come back.

    We booked the accommodation in March 2023. We requested a room overlooking the dam and received confirmation that this would be the case. However, on arrival we were shown to a side room with no dam view. When we pointed this out, we were eventually offered a room with a view for the first three nights but told we’d have to move back to the side for the final night. It was only when we showed them proof of their agreement in writing that we were moved to a room with a dam view for the whole stay. While we received an apology from the lady managing our check in, she clearly didn’t have the authority to make decisions herself. The process therefore took several hours while she consulted her boss. in the end, we noticed two of the five dam facing rooms were vacant for our entire stay so all the fuss was unnecessary. Very disappointing.

    The view overlooking the dam was magnificent. The complementary wine tasting was good fun and led by a lovely, friendly and knowledgeable lady. It was super having the independently owned pizzeria on site where you could get takeaways to eat on our terrace.

    We would have appreciated a USB charging point in the room

    The setting of the vineyard sites is very peaceful and the room and stoop were comfortable. The breakfast at the Manor House was perfect and dinner at the pizzeria was good. We had a complimentary wine tasting and came away with a reasonably priced mixed case

    The seating area outside Shiraz could do with a step to get down on to the grass as it very high without one.

    Under Oaks is a lovely place to stay. The complementary fizz was a lovely touch. We were in Shiraz overlooking the dam and the mountain view was to our right but we could see lots of them. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. There was load shedding but no issues using things other than the kettle and hairdryer. The breakfast was good and varied. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pizzeria is very good and great value. Welk worth going to. Not open every day though. We would recommend staying here.

    I can't think of anything that needed improvement. The staff at the winery were very helpful and friendly, the location was peaceful and I could see that it was a local favourite. The wines were excellent too!

    The breakfast was excellent. Everything was fresh and the selection was stellar. The staff were attentive and the cooked entree was very good. It was tempting to eat more than one should. Also the cats made the property so much more comfortable. I could see they were treated well.

    The location of the accommodation is beautiful. There is a pizzeria near the farmhouse, which is a good restaurant but if you want finer dining you have to drive into Paarl.

    Breakfast was excellent, good choice of food. Had to walk or drive through the beautiful vineyard to the old picturesque farmhouse. Beautiful views of the area.
