The Champagne cottage was very spacious, comfortable and clean. We felt very much at home. The view of the mountains from the back terrace was beautiful. The property was private and peaceful. It was removed from the main resort facilities, which required a car/ shuttle to get to. There were fans in the rooms, but no functioning AC. Having a clothes washer was much appreciated.
Absolutely stunning property. Comfortable and spacious cottage for the family with a lovely outdoor area. We enjoyed wine and food from the farm. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely spectacular — our favorite stay in South Africa!
This has been by far the most spectacular place we stayed during our trip to South Africa. The customer service was incredible — every member of the team at Boschendal Farms made us feel so welcome.
Our kids loved the day camps at the Tree House. Andrea, the kids’ club director, is phenomenal. Our children couldn’t wait to go back each day! She taught them about farming, composting, how to pick fruit, and even led them on hikes. They had cooking lessons, horse riding, and so many hands-on experiences.
We couldn’t have asked for a better family experience. Huge thanks to the entire Boschendal team — you made this unforgettable!
This was up there with one of the best stays I’ve ever had. Staff were unbelievable, as is the food and the setting. I can’t say enough how amazing this trip was, I will definitely be back.
Boschendal is a wonderful location. Its calm and beautiful. Perfect to combine with a stay in Cape Town. Great Nature, nice Cottage and Pool. Also nice for family with kids. Was our second stay. We will come back
We stayed at Boschendal as the first part of a 2-week South Africa honeymoon and we could not have imagined a better place to spend the first few days of our marriage! Our cottage was stunning, comfortable, quiet and luxurious. The breakfast provided was incredible. The service is some of the best we've experienced ever. The property is exquisite. The activities are plenty - hiking, horseback riding, wine tasting, picnicking, etc. This is one of the most special properties I've ever stayed at on vacation and glowingly recommend it to everyone!!
Wow - Unbelievable! Room, staff, service- all incredible.
Lovely experiences- wine tasting and horse riding both brilliant.
The Deli and kitchen facilities were an added bonus.
The location is fabulous and the breakfast was genuinely amazing. The cottage was a bit disappointing to be honest - TV was broken, oven was poor and took ages to heat up, and the cottages have been built to face the rear of the cottage in front, so unless you’re lucky you don’t get a view.
The quality of food and drinks is outstanding. I loved the breakfast buffet which was relatively small with the most delicious products. The staff is super friendly and amazing with kids. The picnic is a must. Would love to return some day. Thank you!!
We spent our last night in Boschendal in a werf suite. We were very impressed, it probably had the best bed on our trip. The cottage was well decorated and very well equipped. The staff were friendly and the food at the Werf restaurant was great. I would recommend.
This property is next level amazing. The food is wonderful, the picnics, various restaurants, to say nothing of the wine. We stayed in a retreat cottage which is amazing and well appointed. The staff are great. I was with my wife and four year old daughter and we loved it all. My daughter did horse tours and we just had a truly perfect experience here staying for a week. It’s magical. The property is expansive and offer a lot of great things to do. The kids club is out of this world. The wine region around is so much fun.
