Pros: Beautiful old listed farm house and property. Lovely breakfast well served. Our bathroom could do with a renovation.

Cons: The shower in our en suite was rather out of date. The expansive gardens were sadly overgrown and in need of attention

Renee 9/10

South Africa 🇿🇦

Serene and spacious. Super-helpful staff.

Pros: Magnificently warm and willing team. Generous, high quality breakfast spreads. The spacious communal areas (both indoors and outdoors) were a delight for our family of twelve adults to enjoy a relaxed and convivial 3 days together. The views over the valley from the main house provided perfect vantage points from which to appreciate birds in flight and the tranquillity of dusk and dawn.

Cons: As may be expected from such old buildings, some of the bedrooms retained a musty smell.

An ideally located place to visit Franschoek and Stellenbosh

Pros: The views from the property were incredible - it was a quiet and romantic place to stay and perfectly located to visit wineries in Franschoek and Stellenbosh.

Olivia 10/10

Beautiful and tranquil place

Pros: A wonderful place to stay. Delicious breakfast. Dinner on offer if you wanted it. Fridge and coffee / tea facilities in room. My room was huge and beautiful with a lovely bathroom as well. Beautiful views out of the many windows onto the lovely gardens. The view from the house and the pool was also stunning. Beautiful decorations in my room and the house. Very friendly helpful staff. Generally just a really comfortable, beautiful and relaxing place to spend a few days not doing much more than reading a book and lying in the sun. Would 100% recommend.

Cons: Can't think of anything that needed improving on it was great.
