+Beautiful heritage property with amazing fresh food and wonderful friendly and helpful staff. So relaxed and generous with time and sharing of information and we felt so at home and absolutely loved our stay The rooms were cosy and warm and spacious and very comfortable. We were in a lovely cottage with a deep stoep which felt so inviting.

“Not quite there”
+Location is great.
−Too much money for the place, there were things that were broken and the breakfast was a continental and a bit sub par. Bed was a bit lopsided

“Has huge potential, not great right now”
+Authentic cape farm from the 1800s - lots of history, interesting architecture, very different to most accomodation in SA. We stayed in 'Villa' at the rear of the property - a large living area with a comfortable sitting area and adequate kitchen for basics. Bedrooms were large with comfortable beds and each had their own shower room. The solid brick buildings were cool despite the warm weather. Dewald, the custodian of the property showed us around at length and was very keen to help.
−Our family of 4 were split with some not liking the older, rustic style of the property. We were told that the property had very recently changed hands and was in the process of undergoing extensive improvement. Several things in the Villa were not ok (loose washbasin, poorly sealing French doors, brown watet) but we were told that these were all to be rectified shortly. The swimming pool was dark and unappealing. The breakfast was basic and we had to go out for an additional breakfast instead. Reasons for optimism for future guests but not great for us, hence our low rating - in its current state it wasn't worth what we paid. Also this is advertised as Stellenbosh but take care as the town is some 35 minutes drive away. The location is actually closer to the northern suburbs.

+Good location only 0.5 hours from Stellenbosch.
−No electricity in the room for almost the entire stay. This does not work well when travelling South Africa. Staff was very unhelpful in finding a solution; suggested asking for a partial refund through Booking after the stay, and later reneged.
