This place is a favorite of ours, and we keep on returning. You are well taken care of by the staff and owners, the grounds are very beautiful and the it is a quiet oasis.
It is easy to get an uber to explore some of the stunning restaurants and vineyards close by. If you want to stay at the hotel all day, they offer great food as well upon requsest
We chose well for our first night in South Africa.
The host and her staff were very welcoming and we enjoyed our stay in the rural & rustic setting.
We would not hesitate to recommend.
Thank you Tessa
Beautiful estate with a pool to-die-for. Nice breakfast, but no vegan options...I had written the owners with questions ahead of time, but never received a response. And while the stable rooms are large, the walls are paper-thin and you can hear your neighbors (tv, conversations, blowing noses.)
This is one of the friendliest places we stayed at during our trip around the Western Cape. Wonderful service throughout. Great brai. Excellent breakfasts. Bar service attentive. Lovely pool. Funky chickens. Rooms grear. All round, a wonderful place to stay.
Tolle Zimmer, sehr freundliche Besitzer und Personal. Nur der Service beim Essen hatte etwas gelitten. Das gleich bei zwei unabhängigen Bestellungen diese jeweils vergessen worden sind, war schon ärgerlich. Dennoch eine ganz tolle Unterkunft. Wenn ich mit der Familie mal wiederkomme, dann buche ich gern wieder hier. Danke nochmals für den tollen Aufenthalt.
Familjedrivet B&B på en Guava farm. Vänlig tillmötesgående personal och informativ service.
Om få gäster kan det inte alltid serveras middag men de löser det också med en fatastisk ostbricka.
Underbart boende på fruktodlingsgård från 1698. Byggnationen genuin och trivsam med hög klass på våtutrymmen. Gårdscentrum är omgivet av stora mycket gamla lövträd. Den mycket sympatiska African/holländska familjen odlar 3500 st guawaträd vars frukt pressas till juice.

Relaxing with lovely gardens and pool
Great shower, good beds, comfy sofa and armchairs in living area, Nespresso machine, TV in living room AND in bedroom. Unfortunately a little neglected (due to Covid?) and rather dirty. But with some clean-ups a lovely place.
Das Guesthouse ist ein wunderbarer Ort in Mitten von Obst- Weinplantagen. Die familiäre Atmosphäre hat uns sehr gut gefallen, wir werden wiederkommen und dann einen längeren Aufenthalt einplanen.
Very welcoming and friendly staff. Fantastic views. Hot food available to order (free) for breakfast. Excellent tips re restaurant for dinner and things to see in Paarl.
Sagenhafter Aufenthalt, sehr familiär. Eigentümer haben sich viel Zeit genommen, uns die Farm zu zeigen. Highlight war das Grillen am 1. Weihnachtstag. Jederzeit wieder
