Diamantvallei Landgoed

The location

Its a event venue aswell, so maybe just call ahead if you want to enjoy the place alone

Love the location! this is our new Favourite overnight place , Cozy homly feeling, friendly staff, just love the place

nothing to comment here, this place is outstanding and I will be booking alot more

It was quiet

No one cleans the rooms to remove dirty cups and wet towels. There is a communal dining room where some of the guest had their breakfast. There is no place to clean your dishes and no one of tje property took it away and changed it with clean ones. We had to ask for dry towels because due to a design issue of the showe in our room, the towels were soaking wet, but without the rooms being cleaned daily, we didn't have dry floor towels

It was warm and cosy and all promises was met. Lovely inviroment.

The open shower. The water was everywhere. Although it looked amazing in there.

Friendliness of staff, you feel welcome and at home, from the start. The property is so quiet and relaxing, big grass to play for kids, Restaurants and their staff is so welcoming, if you order a slice of cake, be sure to know, you get more than what you pay for!

For the amount I paid, I expected to have a bathroom in my room lake the other rooms, but in fact I had to cross the hallway of the house to go to my bathroom, which took away the private feeling. Luckily for us, we were alone, so it made it a bit better, but i like to dress in my room, and not in the bathroom.

Very friendly, accommodating owners. Beautiful surroundings. The supply of coffee and tea plus granola and milk was an added bonus.

Because the room we were in was directly attached to the main house, we were able to hear when the piano was being played. Unfortunately, when we arrived back at about 11pm after our function in the evening, someone in the main house was stomping on the floor in the room which was quite clearly heard. I'm not quite sure what can be done about it, but I'm writing it here just to make the family aware. This is by no means a criticism, but something that may by a problem in the future.

I like the place very much and it's a nice place

There was nearly no water In one room it didn't work at all

No, security. Directions to the guesthouse poor. There is no bathroom door!!! No privacy

This was our 2nd night on honeymoon, decided to stay on because we enjoyed our wedding night there and had to savour the experience. The excellent bottle of champagne in ice bucket, n liquer chocolate each on bed, gauranteed my good rating. There is a spa which did not make use of but was good prospect for later. Felt refreshed when we left..after our hike to the lake, as well thevfarmy feel with horses chickens.. & a but cultured too with violin lesson type people sounds..and the original oil oauntings for sale in the Comma, restuarant. Breakfast wss great.

Same as in my first nights response. Guard dog appearing from around a bush in the dark gave heart beat a miss but no real problem..ressuringbthat dig can dudtiguush between guests and delinquents. Parking car at some distance —in the open- some didtance from ourvroom and out if sight..in crimevrudden South Africa..was a little unsettling.but after tge guard dog encounter felt bit better but would still have like my car to be closer and morw visible

Perfect for our impromtu honeymoon. Away from hustle & bustle. Lovely nature walk to the lake. Ablutions fine.. Linen tiwels allgood, sufgivient hanging soace. When the chocolate cake at Marua te room was rich for one sitti g, let us take to room. Excellent champagne provided in ice bucket. Breakfast - pay extra- at restusrant was excellent. Very refreshing all in all

When I liked the room the first night, I couldnt get the same discount from Booking. com when we decided to stay an additional night..which we would have got if we had done the initial booking for 2 nights instead of one..so Booking.com could have come to the party ..but I didnt know ahead of time that my bride to be would like the honeymoon bed so I had to keep my options open! Apart from that, all was well, except when we were locked inside the guest house section next morning and couldnt get immediate telephone response, fortunately we were on honeymoon and made good of the moment seeing as we were not going anywhere. So panic did not set in. The security Rotweiller, that came round to the front step in the dark, where we were sitting sipping our aphrodisiac-type Love liquers, just sniffed at me and moved on, well trained, re assuring but still a bit of a heartbeat-miss moment.

Clean and tidy

Bed is super hard 😩

I did not know there are such lovely places in Rayton. The coffee shop was also lovely All the staff that we met were lovely.

We dont like open bathrooms in our room. However, the water was hot, the bathroom served its purpose for our short visit.

Very quiet and beautiful surroundings

The Location, not too far from the closest road, far enough to not have the noise of traffic passing by. Service was excellent, very accommodating.

WiFi was not fibre speeds but still enough for the studying I did while on the premises. (understandable with the distance and the form of connection. 10/5mbps down/up)

Location was nice, near the venue where the wedding was.

Did not know where to go, signage was good up to a point. Our room was freezing cold. Discovered a heater, but when we returned from wedding, our heater was exchanged for a broken one 😢. The room has a fireplace, no wood the first night, second night there was wood but got back at 1 in the morning and did not feel like making fire that time of the day. Shower is really too small, whole bathroom under water after a shower. Cleanliness not up to scratch.

I like how they are so welcoming. Nice stuff members. It’s clean, the place is peaceful.

Nothing at all but.

The property is absolutely stunning and so quite and dark at night, which is a bonus from that of the city lights and buzz. The staff is friendly and very accommodating.

Liked everything nothing negative to say.

The location from goggle maps took us to the coffee shop next door and the staff there were not so kind. We ended up driving around for another 30 minutes getting lost because the signage is really not there. They can do with a bit of signage indicating where they are.

I hated the frustrations that came with trying to locate the correct building within the plot.

Location close to venue. Peaceful environment

Nice and tidy...

Nothing

The room I booked was not the room I was given. The toilet, shower and room is all in one with no privacy and very little space

Perfect setting. Restaurant and coffee shop n wonderful add to experience. Great way to relax on a farming community

The owner relocated us in a different room after asking, which was very nice of her & the chimney in the room was lovely!

There were no towels put out for us.

Every single thing at the place I can't get over the strawberry jam their breakfast too die for.

None

Romantic and quiet and the fire place extra bonus. Friendly reception.

Nothing to complain.

Clean tidy room

No fridge in the room. Nobody made the bed or cleaned the room on the third day Stayed 3 nights and coffee etc wasn’t topped up on any of the days.

The place full of history and yo relax and to wind down.

Absolutely fabulous stay! I can't wait to stay at Diamantvallei again :) I can't recommend this place enough!

Diamantvallei offers a traveller peace and quiet! We had a beautiful spacious room with amazing bathroom. Home away from home. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Will be back for sure 👍

Basic clean spacious accommodation.

The need to put at least a fan in the room.

Everything was welcoming and nice, quiet and relaxing

Time was going to fast

Didn't have breakfast

Beds was full bugs and glasses dirty after asking staff to clean still dirty when we returned 😑

The bathroom is elegant and clean. The room was large and spacious. The location was excellent and very peaceful.

The room had old worn carpets. The kitchen in the closet was not very impressive. Would appreciate a fan and milk in the room. Wifi password for guests would be nice.

Great people, very neat, clean and friendly

Bit off the main roads with dirt roads for about 3 kilos.

Beatiful place and the bathroom was stellar

First night on arrival there was fishmoths in the all off the bed's we asked the staff to pleace clean the room becouse the glasses was dirty and the beds,the next day they assured us they moved everything and cleaned the whole room but when we got back we discovered that the bug problem wasn't solved and there were still lip stains on the glasses. We did not even sleep in the beds were sitting and waiting for daylight to get out of there so over all it was a very bad experience.

Nothing....was not allowed to use the property

I made bookings through booking com and paid in full and when I get to the venue I was told that I booked after 7 and they Cannot accommodate me ..promised to pay back my money and 2 weeks down the line I am still waiting

Great value for money and interesting place. Was close to the wedding venue

Wasn’t really anything specifically. Maybe option of a warm breakfast on the Sunday and maybe that could be arranged before arriving ?

Even though we didn't have anything to eat, my wife and I absolutely loved the 'farm like' of the venue. Will definitely go back!

Staff so friendly and so efficient and caring. Special thanks to Lalie for her warmth and kindness. While visiting my family in South Africa My mom sadly passed away and Lalie greeted us with such empathy. Staying at Diamantvallei was like been at ‘home’. Also a huge thank you to Janke for your warmth and hospitality. For the delicious meals you prepared for us and for your empathetic ears and warmth you showed us. As for the accommodation our room was Cosy especially having our own fireplace in the bedroom. The entire experience was one of peace and calmness. We will definitely be back exceptional value all round.

Tiny suggestion maybe a hairdryer.

Fireplace in room

Breakfast only from 09h30 - to late. Rating off stay not correct. only 1 Star.

Fantastic accommodation clean and staff very friendly

The cold weather 😊😊

Beautiful location, a well kept but lived-in house, and an excellent breakfast. I am a repeat guest and always enjoy staying at Diamantvallei.

We went here for my bachelorette w weekend, there were 4 of us! It is a beautiful and clean property! I am amazed at the value. We booked a quadruple room and it had so much space. Love the walk in closet and bathroom with the most gorgeous bath and heated towel rails. The fireplace in the room is magical also! We walked around also and came across a lake with horses. The sheep and lambs are also super cute. We spent lots of time on the “friendship” bench. The managers were so polite, accommodating and kind! We will certainly be back soon!

Carpets were a little dirty and would be nice to have heated blankets especially in winter

THE HOST IS VERY FRIENDLY. OUR ROOM HAD A FIREPLAC, WHICH HELPED A LOT BECAUSE IT WAS VERY COLD

NOTHING

This place is perfect if you are attending a wedding in the area and are looking for a place to sleep over. There is not much to do during the day, and the common areas are shared with other rooms in the big house.

The house in general is not very private with a lot of people being on the property, working, etc.

Beds very comfy love the fire places and love the braai area and love that their is a generator back up what do i say it was lovely to stay their and our hosts you’ll guys rock will definitely be back I loved it keep it up before i forget i love the cofee shop and the food breakfast was amazing Thank you

The breakfast was fresh and tasty, on time and very fulfilling. The location was beautiful. The staff made us feel at home and was very friendly. Thank you for a great stay. We will definitely recommend it to friends and family and will see you again.

character, facilities, cleanliness and comfort all of a high quality

braai facilities poor - old braai, no light or seating in the area
