A State of Grace

Beautifully situated overlooking the dam with lovely views. Very welcoming host with excellent communication.

A rather overwhelmingly large breakfast! 🤭🤣 Such a pity we had to waste all that good food! Bring a healthy appetite!

parfait je recommande

Chantal was so helpful before and during my visit with lots of good tips for lunch en route and places to visit after my stay. A perfect spot for sunset. Lovely to wake up to the sounds of birds and a fish eagle. The breakfast was superb!

No dislikes at the property itself.

Struttura molto bella con una vista meravigliosa sul fiume! Ottima colazione! Host super disponibile!! Ottima esperienza :)

Niente

Very warm, gracious and attentive hosts. Generous, well-prepared breakfast.

Superp breakfast...enough to last us most of the day!

Chantal went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Excellent communication before and during our stay via Whatsapp made sure we knew where we were going and what activities were available. Chantal made a dinner reservation for us, and also assisted us in going very early to the Sevilla rock art trail (fabulous, incidentally), ensuring that we were able to make the most of the cooler morning before the heat kicked in. She even made us a packed lunch to take with us. Breakfast was an enormous feast that completely defeated me (but in a good way)! Chantal could not have done more for us. Highly recommended

I can't find any negatives to report.

Rendkívüli házigazda, a ház csupa romantika. Hatalmas terasz gyönyörű kilátással, szuper medencével és pihenő hellyel. A csillagos égbolt páratlan! A reggeli fenomenális!

Very hospitable host who went out of her way to make us welcome.

It was all great

Chantel is a wonderful host, provided us with lots of information prior to stay and looked after our every need. Definitely be back in flower season.

The drive to the property could be a little off putting to some, but remember you are in South Africa.

Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, phantastischer Blick auf den Stausee, gemütliches Zimmer, gutes Frühstück.

1st class accommodation lovely host extremely friendly and very informative lot's of information before our arrival room 1st class facilities 1st class breakfast 1st class excellent value for money would definitely recommend

Die Inhaberin nahm rechtzeitig vor Anreise Kontakt zu mir auf um die Anreise zu besprechen. Außerdem wurden wertvolle Infos zu möglichen Aktivitäten vor Ort zugeschickt. Bei der Ankunft wurden wir sehr herzlich wie gute Freunde empfangen und bei Abreise auch verabschiedet. Wir hatten hier den besten Aufenthalt während unserer mehrwöchigen Rundreise.

Heel vriendelijke ontvangst en heel veel tips

Exceptional host, spotless clean and with a delicious breakfast.

The hostess, Chantal, was so helpful. She gave loads of information about the area before we even arrived, which helped plan our stay. Her breakfasts were totally delicious and different each day. Very comfortable accommodation overlooking the dam. Her reception on arrival was very warm and welcoming. Definitely highly recommend A State of Grace.

The property has a lovely ambiance with kind and thoughtful hosts. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. set above the dam with lovely views. Hot drinks served on arrival and in the evening. The breakfast was delicious. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Tot in de puntjes verzorgde accomodatie, heel netjes en schoon, in Alice in Wonderland decor. Mooi terras met spectaculair uitzicht over de rivier. Gezellige ontbijtkamer met open haard, voor in de winter. Fantastisch ontbijt, met liefde en aandacht bereid. De gastvrouw geniet er overduidelijk van om gasten te ontvangen. Heel hartelijk en behulpzaam, stuurde van tevoren veel informatie door per WhatsApp en reserveerde een tafel voor het avondeten bij een plaatselijk restaurant. Jammer dat wij maar 1 nacht hier verbleven.

I would like to emphasize that in every way it was an extremely nice experience for us to stay in this accommodation. The bedrooms are comfortable and tastefully furnished. The pool is very nice and access is possible directly from the room. The view from the pool and terrace directly on the lake. The breakfast was absolutely superb. Excellent communication with the owner who collected very useful information for us regarding our trip to Cederberg.

The hostess, Chantal was absolute sunshine...friendly, helpful with tips for travel. The location is heaven. The house is exquisite. We had a fabulous stay. Wish we had stayed longer

Nothing

Chantal and I corresponded continuously between booking and arrival. This meant security for us. She expected us, we didn't have to call and bother with codes. Immaculately clean, well-equipped accommodation. The breakfast is delicious and hearty. Chantál is a great host.

We can't find an excuse.

Great stay, wonderful breakfast

Beautiful home, so comfy & tastefully decorated . Pool was fun to have a dip in, delicious breakfast provided. Cappuccinos made for us on arrival ! Highly recommend . Hosts are also helping out in the township community which is a neat thing to support .

It was all great 😊

Privacy and view. Hospitality of the host

Comfortable and clean.

Kitchen shared with main house. No private entrance. (Entrance via main house).

Breakfast was delicious, freshly prepared, we couldn't have asked for more.Chantal was the perfect host, we were thoroughly spoilt. Even before we arrived Chantal got in touch with directions and useful information about what to do in the locality..

Nothing could have been better, everything was perfect.

beautiful location with lovely view of Clanwilliam Dam. sunny and peaceful pool area (with a view) with good outdoor furniture to relax/ read / have coffee or breakfast

Breakfast was plentiful and absolutely delicious.

Nothing everything was lovely.

This is one place I could have reviewed even before we checked in. Soon as we made our booking Chantal got in touch and shared lots of useful information with us - about getting to her place, places to eat, and sightseeing. By the time we arrived, we had already exchanged several WhatsApps. On arrival, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming Chantal. The room was superb and Chantal offered warm beverages and cookies on both nights of our stay. Breakfasts were quite delicious. We were grateful that Chantal recommended the wildflower garden, which we visited in the afternoon of our arrival, and thoroughly enjoyed. The view over Clanwilliam dam is fantastic. This was our third stay at Clanwilliam - and absolutely the best.

Nothing.

Chantal was a fantastic hostess with a wonderful gift of hospitality. She made our stay so lovely. She helped book a place for dinner and kept going out of her way to make us feel at home and spoilt. It is a peaceful home with a great view of the dam.

The hostess, Chantal was delightful and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Our room was super comfortable with a stunning view over the lake. Breakfast was the best we’ve had in any b&b anywhere.

The breakfast was great and prepared by our host Chantelle herself. The guesthouse is super clean and cozy. Exellent overall expereience.

No complains. It was extremely hot outside, but the guesthouse was cool and we could enjoy the swimmimg pool overlooking the dam.

Chantal and Jan were very welcoming! Their house is really charming, with a great view. We could have easily stayed longer

Breakfast good; views exceptional; ambience excellent and hosts most hospitable and helpful.

Availability of wandering in the surrounding area. Plans are being made to improve this.

The property was very homely, comfortable and welcoming.

Excellent location, well appointed, neat and homely. A delightful stay wrapped in true South African hospitality! Our host, Chantel exudes a tangible passion for the wellbeing of her guests and presents a wonderful breakfast! The sunset from the deck across the dam was memorable, thank you for sharing your home, we will be back!

Nothing. I loved EVERYTHING!

We enjoyed 4 delightful days at A State of Grace. Chantal is an excellent host who continuously walks that extra mile for her guests. We had great suggestions for restaurants and outings, incl. Lamberts Bay, Bird Island, the San cave paintings at Steenbok Farm Cave, a drive across the scenic Pakhuispas to Travellers' Rest, the Clanwilliam Museum and an insightful historical walking tour around the old part of Clanwilliam.

Excellent breakfast with a view of the Clanwilliam dam, Most gracious hosts; shared many interesting fireside conversations. Fire lit at breakfast on a cold morning was extra welcoming.

Chantel and Jan were perfect hosts in a lovely

Nothing

The bed was comfortable and the water was hot for showering. The breakfast was excellent and well -prepared by Chantal, our host.

The public road to the the accommodation is gravel and a little bit of maintenance is needed.

Exceptional hospitality with amazing breakfast

Home away from home with such a awesome host! Our every need was so well accommodated and we went away as family. The breakfast was out-of-this world.

Best breakfast of our (touring) holiday. We loved having the use of the beautiful lounge/dining room/outside deck and pool with lovely views of the dam. Chantal and Jan are exceptional hosts.

The location is beautiful and tranquil but you do have to drive into the town centre, it's too far to walk. For me, the bed was rather bouncy and I prefer a more solid one, but that's just my personal preference.

the hospitality and kindness of the hostess and host is incomparable

the informal settlement close to the guesthouse

Friendly people. Beautiful view over the dam. Excellent service and vacilities.

Every thing was excellence.

Hosts were exemplary, warm and welcoming, felt at home immediately, scrumptious breakfasts! We will be back!

Not applicable

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay and will recommend this property any time.

The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and accommodative. The house is very safe and the vehicle was safe with locked gate. The estate is very nice and one can experience the nature. The bed was comfortable with a nice warm blanket for the cold windy evening. The fireplace was on and we were offered coffee and rusks. Breakfast was excellent and prepared and served by host’s themselves. The view from the patio to the dam is breathtaking especially with sunset.

Although the bathroom was assigned for only our use it was not ensuite.
