    The staff were wonderful, friendly and enthusiastic, it always seemed like they enjoy their work and that they are invested in the place. It was so great to see. Also, so much attention to detail in the decor.

    If you travel with small children or babies know that the floors in the cottages creak a lot and you basically hear every sound you make in the whole house.

    The Fynbos cottages are amazingly comfortable and feel so private. The food and staff were exceptional as always.

    It's always a special place to visit, maybe just not at Easter.

    have stayed at the hotel, twice before, in different cottages. This being my third. It was very busy being Easter Weekend, with lots of day visitors, I just felt that everyone was very busy, and you had to queue for everything that you were not able to book for, example lunch spots. It felt a bit rushed in everything that you did, in order to get the next bunch of people through. The waiters while very good were rushed and would not be as attentive as before, reminding them that we had ordered water. The bathrooms had no soap next to the two baths. Only 2 cream lotions, and no soap in the shower. The only soap was next to the basin. The shower only had body liquid soap. Nothing to wash yourself next to the baths. The bread making course, was actually just putting stuff onto bread that was already made. Which felt like a letdown, when you actually wanted to learn how to make bread not just throw some toppings on it. The lady who ran the course was wonderful and super helpful to any questions answered. With the money spent on the room, the meals, the wine and in the shop, we could have gone abroad. But as i say maybe it was just because it was the Easter weekend. As have always loved staying and will visit again.

    As always it is a a real treat to stay at this beautiful hotel and gardens.

    Nothing! Everything was outstanding

    The beautiful manicured gardens, farm & facilities with a stunning backdrop. The endless amount of things do to, from cellar tours, to bread baking, to farm cycles, kayaking, eating the local produce in the restaurants and cafes, spa treatments and admiring the wildlife. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, nothing was ever too much and made you feel at home, everyone knew your name and made you feel truly welcome and part of the farm which was such a special experience. We would love so much to return some day.

    There were stains in the bedsheets which needed to get changed. Booked the suite and there was just a TV (no Netflix.) and no Bluetooth speaker (even when I asked for it at the reception) Price is quite high, but I would book it again!

    Beautiful garden. Nice spa area. Good service. Sunglasses got lost, but staff found them and returned them :-)

    Its difficult to find fault, a bit challenging in the rain, but the staff and facilities overcome any downside.

    The Property is so special that it is unnecessary to leave it. We only had three nights but our days were filled with exploring the property, gardens, winery, farm and other facilities. It is truly special
