Great location - and well managed

Stunning location in the middle of a vineyard and wine farm. Really a great getaway right in the heart of the peninsular. Restaurant was very good (even though we only had breakfast).

Nice little complex, friendly staff and restaurant attached served up an excellent dish. Just down the road from wineries and easy access to main roads. We had to leave early for a flight and staff happily assisted with bringing us breakfast the night before. Easy drive to Cape Town airport.

Good place outside Stellenbosch

A very nice place. The check-in, staff in the restaurant etc is so friendly. But it seems a bit run down - especially the swimming pool area and the sun-beds. It's a shame since the garden and the park is such a nice area.

Lummigt och prisvärt på landet

Hemsidan gör inte hotellet rättvisa, området är större och mysigare på riktigt. Att man har pool (om än liten) framgår knappt och att det ligger en utmärkt restaurang på området kan inte poängteras nog.

Romantik pur

Herrliche Sonnenuntergänge von der Veranda aus zu geniessen mit Blick über die Rebberge - einfach wunderschön. Toll, dass das Restaurant gleich mit im Komplex ist, so braucht man nicht mehr Auto zu fahren und kann auch ein Gläschen mehr trinken.

A pleasant place to stay

This guest house is in a lovely area, also convenient for visiting the Winelands and the False Bay coast. The gardens are very attractive. Our room was large, the bed was comfortable and the modern bathroom spacious. The staff were all very pleasant. There were some small details which would improve the accommodation - somewhere sit to use a laptop (they have free wi-fi), hang up a wet coat and a waste basket would be useful. Breakfast was ok but rather surprisingly no fresh fruit is available.
