There is no reception for proper check in

It is very remote and quiet

The restaurant was shut for refurbishments which we didn’t know about until the day before arrival. This meant that we couldn’t access ice and that there was less wood than promised on the property info. Staff were around for daytime hours. It not after 4.30. However when we did have an issue, staff were quick to respond. It also meant that we could access the restaurant during our stay.

The location, the peace and the hot tub. The decor was lovely and set up with pretty much everything you would need. Perfect for a remote get-away.

The mosquitos.

Location was excellent! Far away from crowds and noise.

Such small things, I feel like if they trimmed the trees a little the view would be absolutely amazing. There were a lot of crickets in the room which we had to capture and release cause they are noisy 😂 but you’re out in nature so like what are you actually going to do about bugs? Just a heads up. There’s also a very modern looking panic button next to the bed that we thought was a light switch, so careful of that cause we set the very loud alarm off. Also make sure you bring your own ice, olive oil and any other condiments etc that you may need. Fridge is quite small so plan accordingly.

Great location! Modern facilities and everything you need. Hot tub is easy to use. The tent over the apartment keeps it nice and cool despite the heat of Paarl. Super comfy bed, aircon works well. Inverter for loadshedding. Super peaceful. We had a few issues with noise from the tent but the staff fixed it for us as soon as we communicated with them. We had the braai box and the steak was amazing, and I don’t even like steak! such great value for money. Easy check in if you read the instructions. Good communication.

so comfortable had everything we needed

It’s in a fantastic location. Under the mountains in a farm. Very safe. Very private. The host is super accommodating too. The Wagyu steals are divine. I suggest you choose your steaks when you arrive to collect the keys. Was a beautiful sunset.

Our attempts at lighting the wood stove for the hot tub, using the firelighters which like the wood had been provided made it easier!

The perfect start to our time in South Africa. We had a super welcome when we arrived, we ate in the restaurant, wagyu open sandwich and a wagyu burger, delicious. We also had the 300g steak,.on another occasion, amazing. The staff were all friendly and happy to help in all matters when asked. The secluded lodge is away from it all, I'd recommend a hire car, although definitely an Uber to get to and from the Franschhoek Wine Tram, which is a great day out.

It was more the country's fault than anything BUT with the power cuts not having aircon in the room was super uncomfortable with the heat, you open the windows and mosquitos attack you so that was the only blemish, tough one to mark the venue down on because to have that running off grid isn't easily achieved but if you staying there in summer you have to note it. Perhaps some sort of fan that isn't reliant on the grid could be a solve.

The location, staff, aesthetic of the place, and cleanliness were all absolutely brilliant. The restaurant is a MUST DO if you a meat eater. Definitely go with the rib eye its unreal. We didn't get to mission around the farm a lot but its super peaceful, quite and well looked after. The room is magic, we will come back to this spot and I think we'd just hang around there instead of venturing around the surrounding area its so peaceful and well-equipped.

The breakfast in the restaurant is a little boring and not very much - disappointing compared to other breakfasts we had in the hotels. The restaurant generally is a bit dark and the food selection does not really fit the design of the cottages - it is all very heavy meals, not a lot of healthy options. Also the Braai basket was a rather heavy collection of chips with a tiny salad.

Super nice cottage, great design and very cozy with a perfect view and location to be alone or watch the rabbits outside. The meat was very delicious!

Although we knew it was remote, we didn't realise quite how remote. So it is a little unnerving to begin with, especially as we are from a big city. But we got used to it and then the peace and tranquility was a bonus.

The lodge was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and stylish. With excellent outdoor space and incredible views.

You can come here only by car and this property has no reception. Very limited breakfast options: you cannot choose anything, they just bring you English breakfast. There are a lot of better options for the same money nearby.

Stylish and comfortable villa with a good view and amenities. There is a fireplace, so that you can cook.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Beautiful retreat surrounded by nature. Fantastic service, beautiful views, perfect getaway. Will definitely come back.

We booked the day before and received a mail which said you can order a braai box and wine. We therefore did not bring anything. But when we called to order they said you had to order food a day in advance, and they did not have a liquor license so could not offer wine. For breakfast or dinner you have to go 1km downhill to the restaurant. Our suggestion: book this place anyway because it is stunning, but come well equipped with food and drinks.

What a stunning location! On the mountain above the farm, they have 2 secluded cottages. They are modern and very beautiful with a bed, well equipped kitchen and beautiful bathroom. There is a nice terrace, a braai area, and a hot tub with a spectacular view. It is hot upon arrival.

We wished for ice for our wine, but there wasn't any. We expected two bags of firewood, found only one, so no evening fire. More breakfast options at the restaurant would be nice. Despite these minor issues, we'll definitely return to Wagyu Mountain Lodge!

This cabin has an ideal location with stunning views. It's clean, the bed is very comfortable, and the hot tub, positioned beautifully among the rocks in front of the cabin, is amazing. Highly recommend for couples and romantic getaways.

This is a awesome place, surrounded by olive trees. The fire hot tub, the modern trendy accommodation next level. Wagyu restaurant burgers and steak a must.

This is a truly amazing experience. Please take the time to eat at the restaurant as well as the food is really amazing

Stayed in November 2023

A few instructions about how to use some of the equipment and a warning to look closely at the restaurant hours as you may need to take food with you.

Very well appointed, beautiful views from the property. Nice unexpected touches like hot tub in garden. Owner easily contactable by message.

The communication was not adequate. We didnt know exactly if it was house number 1 or 2 as well when and where is breakfast

Its serene, located away from the busy roads, very spacious yet minimilistic

Needs better support poles/ tightening of the tent for windy weather. The overlying tent rattled through the night making sleep difficult.

Beautiful home, modern & aesthetic decor. Well equipped. Serene location

It’s beautiful and neat! Has a modern touch to it and Danelle was absolutely amazing and managed to extend to an extra day I didn’t book for! Amazing value for money!

There could be a little more privacy between the two lodges.

The location was beautiful. The facilities had everything that you need.

I think it needs more security for the guests….

Loved the experience of the place
