Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We were welcomed to this centrally located farm, by a curious ostrich who was fenced in with a magnificent view of a mountain behind her. A friendly staff member in a pretty apron greeted us, setting the scene for a homely environment. And, so it was, beautiful decor, aloe and lavendar-laced gardens, gorgeous fireplaces, lots of creativity to look at as well as a hearty breakfast. An informative, behind-the-scenes chat with the owner's daughter closed off our two-day stay, perfectly
I would recommend keeping hedges pruned low so that visitors can have clear views of the mountains from the double luxury rooms as well as the honeymoon suite
Architektur. Personal. Essen.
Im Winter ist es kaum möglich das Zimmer zu heizen und viel zu kalt. Zum schlafen gibt es Heizdecken im Bett, was die Übernachtung komfortabler macht.
The staff were incredibly friendly and Caroline made sure our son had warm croissants every morning since she noticed how much he loved croissants. The cottage was clean and comfortable and we felt very much at home.
We couldn’t find fault
This was an incredible stay in a beautiful location. The welcome on arrival was great and the staff couldn’t do enough to help you. The cottage we stayed in was beautiful. We did the meerkat experience with Ras, which was fun and felt like a proper adventure, but the highlight of the tour was the Ostrich Farm tour, which was made all the more special thanks to Hermes who was our wonderful tour guide and gave us an insightful and fun tour .
Having to leave 🥲
Exceptional guide on the Meerkat and Ostrich tours. Very friendly, interesting and knowledgeable.
Felt a bit uncomfortable and in the way when we were sorting ourselves out in reception, following the Ostrich Farm tour, ready for a long drive that day.
Location and view. Great north facing stoep.
House was cold - very cold. Inside fireplace smells after a fire. Needed to ask to fill liquid soaps.
Very friendly welcome! All hotel staff (reception (!), restaurant and guides extremly friendly! Thank you all! We had a very nice dinner. The location is unique: farm style! The rooms with old(er) furniture therefore fit in perfectly.
If you dont have a car, it is hard to explore the area.
Sehr persönlicher Service von A-Z
Wir haben die Führung über die Straußenfarm gemacht. Diese hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir haben zusätzlich noch viel über die Geschichte des Ortes gelernt. Große Empfehlung dafür!
Dinner was very disappointing.
The setting was peaceful and quiet. The quality of the furniture and fittings was superb. Beautiful views. Was beyond our expectations. Would definitely stay again.
Wir waren von dieser Unterkunft nur begeistert. Besonders gut gefallen hat uns die gesamte Anlage mit den Häusern im holländischen Stil, dem super gepflegten, schönen grossen Garten. Hervorzuheben ist auch das feine Frühstück und das fantastische Abendessen. Ein Highlight war die Erdmännchen-Tour bei Sonnenaufgang mit den sehr interessanten Erklärungen. Einfach nur fabelhaft!

Very welcoming and easy to get hold of for any questions. Braai Wood was brought to the house. Frank was at at reception when we booked in and told us all about what was on offer at the farm and about places we could eat dinner. ( we decided to braai the first night. The next night we went to Buffelsdrift. We did a meerkat safari with Ras who was very informative. Even though we had no luck with the meerkat we learnt a lot and saw giraffe and many other animals. Stephanie was very helpful and accommodating at breakfast.
The night sky was absolutely amazing..
The location being on route to Cango caves and opposite great ostrich tour farm plus the Marisa wine farm. plus the breakfast was a big variety and delicious
The amount of mosquitoes in the bedrooms at night otherwise all was great
Peace setting. We only stayed one night but had everything we needed.
If staying in the rooms as b&b and not self catering a bit of a trek for breakfast..
Wir haben in Cottage Nr. 8 gewohnt. Sehr viel Platz mit 2 riesigen Schlafzimmern und 2 riesigen Bädern. Tolle Terrasse mit direktem Zugang zu einem der Pools. Die gesamte Anlage ist einfach mit viel Liebe angelegt. Es wirkt alles sehr gepflegt.
Die Mücken, die uns nachts geärgert haben und die Matratzen waren für unseren Geschmack zu hart.
Mooi perceel, leuk aangekleed met mooie tuin. Lekker huisje en goed schoon. Erg leuke meerkat tour ook.
Jammer dat de bubbels in het bad het niet deden en deze langzaam leeg liep.
As on previous visits, this one was no exception!! A breakfast,outside, with ostrich , beautiful Bougainville, maintained garden and wonderful food, you don’t want to leave!! There is no other place where you can enjoy the beauty of the milky way at night, spectacular!
Nothing!
Rooms were spacious and very clean. Very friendly staff! Loved the Ostrich Tour that they offered.
Great atmosphere, large suit (one of the honeymoon suites), excellent stay and great activities available

Super schöne Anlage mit tollen Pool. Eine Straußenfarm ist direkt auf dem Gelände und man kann morgens eine Erdmännchen-Safari buchen.
Das Restaurant ist nicht jeden Tag geöffnet, aber viele Restaurants in der Umgebung vorhanden.
Super freundliches Personal und Service. Für uns wurden Restaurantreservierungen gemacht und sogar ein Termin bei einer Ärztin, als es mir nicht gut ging. Der Garten mit Pool ist sehr entspannt. Wir haben im Endeffekt den ganzen Tag dort gelegen und es sehr genossen.
Es gab keine Seife im Bad und der Wasserkocher war etwas dreckig von innen.
Lage, großes Zimmer, sehr nettes Personal
Our room was beautiful. The whole place is sublime. We loved the evening meal too. South African specials which were simple b ut executed perfectly
We didn't see a Meerkat on the tour which is incredibly unusual but the trip was so well done that it honestly didn't matter. We saw other animals like giraffes and springboks and it was fab.
Sehr ruhig gelegen, tolles Anwesen mit schönem Garten. Hilfsbereites Personal. Das Dinner war sehr lecker.
Location
We loved the peaceful location of Room 20 mountain manor and super views of the surrounding mountains. The bedroom and bathroom were lovely and light and exceptionally clean. The ostrich steak was delicious at the evening meal.
There was a ledge between bedroom and bathroom- not defined or marked in any way so constantly tripped up over. In fact my husband injured his ankle and is still hobbling two days later. There was no corkscrew/bottle opener in the room although wine glasses were supplied. Loud music with breakfast was totally incongruous to such a lovely setting and the breakfast was very mediocre with little choice of breads or cooked dishes. Disappointing. .
Einfach nur fantastisch! Freundliches Personal, eine wunderschöne Anlage, ausgezeichnetes Essen. Unser Highlight war die Meerkat Tour mit Hermes, es war unglaublich, die Erdmännchen so nahe zu sehen.
Schlechtes WLAN in den Cottages und am Pool.
Everything
Staying for only one night
Endroit très agréable et très paisible dans un immense et magnifique beau jardin..avoir une piscine face au bungalow etait formidable...buffet le soir bien sympa.
Petit déjeuner pas terrible
Greeted at reception by Victor who sorted out a restaurant booking in Oudtshoorn with shuttle for the evening as well as sorting out our rooms. He kindly opened the bar for us after dinner and offered to light a fire for us to sit outside under the stars. He couldn't have done more for us. The bedroom was comfortable, clean, and the linen excellent, with a shaded verandah, looking over a pool which was shared with 2-3 other rooms. The rest of the staff and family were very friendly and helpful.
The rooms are a little old fashioned but I liked that. I didn't like the filter coffee for breakfast but my husband did!
It was a lovely stay - beautiful surrounds. The room was really comfortable & big. Loved the patio & view. Peaceful.
Unfortunately there were many flies at the breakfast buffet which was really unpleasant & off-putting. Please invest in some small fans.
Все очень понравилось и номера и отношение персонала . Любой вопрос решался оперативно и без проблем
Beautiful garden. Comfortable room. Friendly welcome.

Beautiful gardens, friendly staff, nice and quiet atmosphere, free car wash
Safe was missing in the room but staff was very helpful in organizing a solution. Booked room was not available the first night but for the rest of the stay.
Es war eine herrliche Unterkunft in traumhafter Lage mit sehr nettem Personal
Traumhafte Anlage mit einem wunderschön angelegten, großen Garten. Wir waren leider nur eine Nacht da, es gibt so viele schöne Ecken. Das Abendessen war perfekt und die Erdmännchen-Tour am frühen morgen sehr besonders! Lage etwas abseits der Hauptstraße, perfekt auf dem Weg zu den Cango Caves gelegen. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Location, beautiful premises, okay breakfast.
Horribly slow wifi, aircon remote didn’t have batteries and thereafter stopped working.
Tolle Lage, Ruhe, Erholung pur und gleichzeitig waren die angebotenen Ausflüge ( zu den Erdmännchen und straußenfarm) sehr interessant. Tolles Engagement der Eigentümerfamilie für die Errichtung einer kostenlosen Pre-School!
Mooi landgoed met leuke huisjes. De kamer was erg fijn, groot en schoon. Omdat we vroeg weg moesten kregen we een ontbijtpakketje mee, erg attent.
Helaas maar 1 nachtje. Het restaurant zag er van binnen een beetje donker uit.
Ideal location Great staff; friendly, attentive, professional and a can do attitude! A huge thank you to Glen, Victor and Frank for making our stay extra special!
Having to leave! As a suggestion perhaps the evening à la carte menu could have more choices!
La chambre et nous avons apprécié que la voiture soit lavée
Pas de tv
The staff was extremely friendly and efficient especially Glen. We had some issues with our accommodation which he resolved quickly for us. Lovely stay.
Luxury cottage, in a great location with nice outdoor space and close to one of the pools, offered 2 really nice bedrooms with each their own bathroom Perfect for families. Well kept grounds, abundance of flowers, also cosy outdoor terrace to enjoy meals. Bar and serving staff very friendly! Recommend.
I loved the spacious rooms and the location of the farm. The food was phenomenal and the staff were wonderful!
Nothing :)
Scenic, serene, beautiful sunsets and sunrises, and at one with nature. Exceptional and attentive service by Glenn Delport. Ostriches a sight to behold as were the mountain views and numerous pools which provided respite from the heat. Delicious breakfasts and dinner, (ostrich stroganoff) and compliments to the chef. The Meerkat tour highly recommended, and a wonderful interaction with Hermes, the tour guide, who provided insights and anecdotes of these magical meerkats. Do pop into the restaurant Nostalgie in town for lunch or dinner and you will experience more of this wonderful hospitality as well as delicious food. The Ostrich kebab at Nostalgie mouthwateringly delicious.

Beautiful farm setting, with sparkling pool and great views.
Das Farmhaus liegt abseits der Straße in einem wunderschönen, gepflegten Garten. Die Besitzerin Laura hat uns sehr nett empfangen und uns alles erklärt. Das gesamte Personal war sehr aufmerksam. Am Abend haben wir das leckere 3 Gänge Menü sehr genossen, köstlich und absolut empfehlenswert.
Lovely setting, well equipped, good base to explore Oudtshoorn and surrounds. We were very comfortable and it was a bonus to be able to bring our doggies!
The braai only had a iron tripod which was quite high. It would've been perfect if we had a braai rack with different height settings.
Beautiful and serene place with friendly staff.

The setting was beautiful, the accommodation was beautiful and the surplus of swimming pools was a win for the kids (and us!!) Food also amazing!

Breakfast fantastic.
Garden and facilities around the room needs attention to detail.A broom could do wonders.
We stayed in the honeymoon suite which was lovely and spacious and had its own patio and barbeque which we used every night. The airconditioner provided welcome relief from the heat. We had a lovely pool set in the beautiful garden just a few steps from our door. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the hosts could not do enough to make our stay special. The accommodation is close to some nice restaurants and a lovely wine farm. We liked it so much we extended our stay by another day.
The cutlery, crockery and glasses need upgrading. The breakfast could be changed up abit but there is more than enough to eat. Otherwise everything was perfect. We loved it.
Broad open spaces which were all dog friendly. Great farm atmosphere
Very good location, friendly staff . Rooms very comfortable and clean. Food was tremendous.
Location and how helpful all staff are
Le calme, le jardin, les piscines, l’accueil, l’extrême serviabilité de la proprietaire… et les autruches!
Dommage de ne pas avoir su qu’il fallait réserver le dîner avant d’arriver..
Prachtige ligging, heel mooie ruime kamer, airco, goed ontbijt. Heel lekker diner
Extra betalen voor cappuccino bij ontbijt, te harde bedden.
Beautiful gardens, spacious rooms
Schöner, und gepflegter Garten. Aufmerksames und freundliches Personal. Üppiges Frühstück, sehr ansprechend angerichtet.
Die Betten sind für mich etwas zu hart.
Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und behandelt. Das Personal war super. Die Anlage ist sehr schön und eignet sich super für ein paar Tage Entspannung. Unser Highlight war eine Erdmännchen Safari. Super.
Schöne authentische Unterkunft mit schönem Garten und sehr nettem und hilfsbereiten Personal.
Eigentlich nichts!
