    - No iron and hair-dryer, but there was a problem with power, so anyway, we couldn't use it. - No shops and cafes within walking distance. We had a car, so it wasn't a problem.

    Cozy and spacious 2-story cottage with nice interior decorations, a comfortable bed, a kitchen with all the necessary utensils, and a terrace offering stunning views of fields, mountains, and animals. There is an inverter in case of load shedding. Communication with the host Jo was prompt and polite. Thank you for your hospitality and for keeping such a beautiful place in order.

    Upon arrival, the receptionist processed our payment efficiently and provided us with the keys to our accommodation. However, The welcome could have been warmer and more informative. It would have been beneficial if the receptionist had been more explicit and engaging in providing details about the accommodation.

    The accommodation was impressively well-equipped, offering all the conveniences one could wish for. However, the true highlight was waking up to the breathtaking view of various animals, including zebras, impalas, turkeys, and a variety of other captivating creatures, right in front of the veranda. The picturesque scene added an enchanting touch to each morning and made the stay truly unforgettable.

    What a lovely location, set in the tranquil vineyards of Remhoogte overlooking wildlife. Only 10 minutes into Stellenbosch, and virtually walking distance to a handful of Wine. Farms makes this an ideal base to explore the area.

    If you need a place to restore your soul, this is it. If you need a place to recharge your batteries, this is it. Zebra Cottage might look small from the outside but it is deceptively spacious inside. The fully equipped kitchen makes self-catering easy, and the comfortable lounge furniture tempts one to spend time indoors. However, the verandah overlooking the fields where the springboks put on their display of playful tests of strength and speed (and bounce!), the wildebeest graze peacefully and the zebra fascinate with their symmetrical beauty was for us the highlight. Breakfast and the evening braai were enjoyed here. The cleaning service provided was very welcome. And I can't write this review without mentioning the friendly dogs! When we started our walk through the vineyards, we were accompanied by 3 of them. Suddenly, out of nowhere, 3 more appeared, showing us the way to go! All in all, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our (too short) 2-night stay, and would definitely visit again when the opportunity arises.

    We were here in winter and it was cold. There was no heating in the living area. There was a woodstove, but no wood. After requesting for wood, we did receive some however!

    Nice cottage with a fenomenal view on the mountains, zebra, ibisses, ... Beds were great! The power went down and we were allocated to another place nearby. But the owners were easy to reach and were very helpful. We had a great stay here. Lots to see and to in the neighbourhood. Also supermarkets nearby.

    Very secure and safe location. Close proximity to other wine farms in the area makes it a good base to explore from. Extremely spacious and comfortable unit. Very comfortable beds with good linen. Clean and good layout. Genuine "farmhouse" feel yet warm and comfortable. The views of neighboring farm were spectacular. Didn't even bother to switch on the TV....and I had a 9-year-old with me (so that says alot). This farm produces some good wines too. Their wine tastings should not be missed. There is a certain stillness and calmness of the lodge. We felt refreshed and revitalized after our 2 nights here.

    The Zebra Lodge is very spacious, comfortable and has a superb view on the mountains around Stellenbosch. From the terrace you see the zebra's, springboks and the Kuifkoptarentale, which really is a very nice bird to look at! You see the sunrise and sundown from this lodge and the view is absolutely stunning. A nice lady came every morning and asked if she could bring us clean towels, make the beds or even do the dishes. Very good service indeed! The lodge itself is very comfortable and nicely decorated. This was our last stay in South Africa before going back home and we would have loved staying a litlle bit longer. During the loadshedding we had some some lights, the tv and fridge functioning and there was a big battery for loading telephones etc, which was very comfortable. Highly recommended! Would love to come back!

    Kris and Elabet: Thank you very much for your great attention. We had a spectacular day of arrival that amazed us see everything that the place offers the farm has animals just as it offers that graze next to the house and are nearby all day One kilometer away there is a very large supermarket where you can stock up on everything you need, it is practically a small shopping center in which there is a pharmacy and medical attention. In addition, and most importantly, the owner of the place is very attentive and did the impossible to give us the best feeling. The house offers sale of its excellent wines, without realizing it, our wine had run out, we contacted Kris, who came especially at 9 :00 at night to help us, we advise you to take this detail into account since their wine is truly exceptional. This is a family farm and the place is beautiful, for those who do not want to walk this place offers everything you need and much more At the reception was Elabet and she has done everything possible to please us with her beautiful smile and her great attention. It is 40 minutes from the airport, we rented the car from the woodford company, we received a new car that we made a great visit in the area South Africa has a lot to offer and at a very low price so you just have to arrive with a good sling and enjoy this great country. Two great phrases I have taken from this country First: Your Respect is my Strength, (so take it into account) Second: Women hold up the sky, Strong Women Shelter the Earth. These are words for the whole world and we must carry them every day in our lives. Martha and Miguel Sela Israel

    We stayed in the lodge and it was a lovely farm-style cottage, very spacious with a well fitted out kitchen. The patio over looked the enclosure where the zebra, springboks and a few other antelope stayed. It was so enjoyable to sit on the patio and watch the animals while having a meal. We received complementary wine tasting tickets and were able to go for walks around the farm and take in the spectacular views. I would be very happy to stay here again!

    Water leaked from the en suite door despite it looking like the seal were adequate which meant the bath mat got saturated. Towels were only changed the day before we left. Couches need upgrading. This definitely is not a deal breaker. I would happily book another stay here.

    Beautiful location, peaceful, tranquil. The lodge had all the comforts we needed. Beds were very comfortable. Nice big rooms. Lovely staff at the taste room. Tasty flat bread pizzas and the wine- cab sav- was not to shabby either

    We absolutely loved our stay in Zebra Cottage. the location is excellent - a short drive to some beautiful winery’s around. The lodge is much bigger than it looks in the photos. It could easily sleep 6 people. We travelled with our 18 month old toddler, and it was perfect. It is very well kitted out for self catering needs. There is no dishwasher or washing machine, but they do offer a daily service which is a lovely touch. Staff were all so helpful and friendly, and Jodie was so quick to help us out with what we needed. We can’t wait to come back again!
