Prachtig monumentaal huis die prachtig ingericht is. Hele fijne bedden met veel ruimte. Mooie tuin en jacuzzi. Fantastische tijd gehad ! Lieve gastvrouw Louise.
Niets Echt geweldig !
Lovely house with everything you need for a getaway with friends. Beautiful art and decor throughout. Can't wait to visit again.
This was our 2nd time staying in Firemasters house and we loved it once again. The location is unbeatable during the Christmas festival and we hope to return.
Chair back that broke during dinner due to a crack in the metal frame. Problem in middle bathroom drain pushing water up.
The place was so beautiful. The pictures don't even do it justice. The place is very well equipped, you can tell the host thought of everything in terms of what guests would need. They even had a heater for us to use and plenty of blankets for us to use. There's a jacuzzi too which was a nice touch. It's close to some amazing wine farms like Twee Jonge Gezellen (home to Krone) and Saronsberg
I didn't understand why we had to pay an additional R250 a day to use the jacuzzi. Also I thought it would be a quiet town but it was actually quite busy, especially the street above it so I wouldn't recommend walking around at night
Everything!
Sehr schönes Cape dutch House im Zentrum von Tulbagh. Absolut stylish eingerichtet. Und alles in Küche vorhanden. Pool ist schön in separatem Garten via a vis der Strasse.
Beautifully decorated, cozy and cool retreat during warm season! The swimming pool across the street was an amazing bonus. The house is neat as a pin, and well equipped for BBQ and cooking in a huge kitchen. We stayed with friends (3 couples), each couple in their own room with own en suite bathroom. What a wonderful place, will return any time. Great host.
Nothing we didn't like.
A hidden gem in amongst a street of other gems. Such a lovely house, beautiful lay out and design. The kitchen has all that is needed and more, the back court yard is perfect for afternoon sunny lunches. The pool area and garden are great relaxing after a long day walking around the vineyards.
Prachtig huis dat in historisch gedeelte van Tulbagh ligt.
Problemen met de afvoer van de douche. Was een lichte geur van riolering.
Beautiful home
Nothing
The house had everything you could want in abundance - all the accommodation was beautifully styled and spacious
Location and amenities.
The house was stunning and well furnished with everything you need! As someone who loves to cook the kitchen was dreamy. The location was also perfect and we felt very safe with the night guard. Louise and the other staff were also very helpful.
Nothing.
Super comfortable with all the comforts of quality in every aspect. Impeccably decorated with a beyond fully equipped kitchen. Even though it was icy cold outside the heating elements in this home keeps the entire house warm and toasty! Bedrooms all separate with en-suite bathrooms were amazing and totally private from each other. A little note of improvement could be lighting in bedrooms could be a little brighter with an adjustable dimming option. The outside area with the hot tub lovely, clean and comfortable with all the necessary equipment for a relaxing soak in the tub.
Although it might be out of control the level of noise from vehicles blasting their music whilst parking at a vacant parking area behind the property is quite disruptive. This happened on both nights we stayed which was over a weekend. Possibly this could be noted to report to Tulbagh authorities as it’s no fault of the property owner.
Everything! We were warmly welcomed by Louise, who gave us some wonderful info on the house, the town, and nearby activities. The house is absolutely gorgeous and very well equipped. We had an extremely enjoyable and comfortable stay, and the spaces were perfect for socialising.
That we had only booked 2 nights!
We loved everything about the house. The location was perfect for the Christmas in winter festival, and we have already booked the house again for next year! The house is very well stocked and loved the fact that there were proper thin wine glasses!!
The only thing that could make it better is if there was a bath (more convenient for the kids, but we came prepared with an alternative), a built braai instead of a weber, and an extra seat or two in the lounge.
Loved the authentic historical feel and attention to detail. Also appreciated the accommodating staff.

We had the most incredible experience staying at Firemasters House in the heart of Historic Church Street, Tulbagh. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the charm and character of the beautifully restored home, it truly feels like stepping back in time without sacrificing any modern comforts. The house was spotless, well-equipped, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique, relaxing escape in one of South Africa’s most charming towns. We’ll definitely be back!
Nothing
This was probably one of the most equipped kitchens we have seen in a long time and the cutlery and crockery is amazing. The decor is beautiful for an old house like this. It really is a beautiful place for a weekend getaway.
The power kept tripping on the Saturday evening. They were quick to sort it out but we got the impression the hostess was a little annoyed every time we sent her a sms about the power. It happened about 8 times. We did not use the swimming pool and boma across the road as it was too cold. This may be an issue for younger children as they have to cross the street to get to these amenities. A recommendation would be a cleaning service. Aircon was difficult to manage as the batteries were flat but we did not want to bother the hostess again with this.
A fantastic property on historic Church Street. Wonderful house and facilities! We had not expected the garden & pool on the other side of the street. Very difficult to beat - anywhere.
Nothing.
Beautiful decor, with a contemporary feel that blended perfectly with this historic house. Every consideration given to a guest’s needs - fabulous kitchen.
The property is stunning, space, decor and energy of the house is beautiful. Pool / garden area is great to relax and take in the weather.
Very small town, bring all your essentials to fully relax and enjoy the space and pool.
Beautiful old home, tastefully renovated. Spacious and comfortable accomodation with a great kitchen The garden and pool are beautiful. We also enjoyed the spa bathe in the courtyard
Mother in law wished there was a TV. But wi-fi was fine to stream on her phone.
This is a very special house styled meticulously, filled with luxury amenities guaranteed to make your stay a memorable one. Highlights included the courtyard with jacuzzi, swimming pool surrounded by nature and spacious kitchen fit for any chef. A great find!
Beautifull gem in Tulbagh
None
A fantastic property! All modern facilities within a historic building. What a lovely experience!
Milk in the fridge would’ve been a nice extra in a property of this calibre.
Beautiful property, interior tastefully done. Has great facilities, everything you would need for a group stay. Every bedroom is lovely and well thought out and each with an en-suite. The outdoor space is really great, the jacuzzi was a treat. Louise was very helpful and if we had issues tried her best to get them sorted
Wouldn’t say it’s very well equipped for a winter stay. The lounge and dining area is quite cold as there is no heating. For the kitchen and bedrooms there is an AC which you can use to heat the rooms. We had issues with the electricity which kept tripping, an electrician did come out which Louise organised but the issue kept occurring. Made it difficult as we had to keep switching the AC off so the fridge etc could stay on.
The house is well equipped and very tastefully decorated. Our host Louis was super friendly and helpful
Loved everything
Very best location, beautifully curated interior, super comfortable luxurious beds, extremely well stocked kitchen w all equipment one could ever want.
The only thing I would add are shelves in the showers
No breakfast option. Location excellent in historical street of Tulbagh.
As it is a historical house an d certain guidelines had to be followed. There is air-conditioning but the house was still cold. Will be fantastic in warmer weather.
Beautifully renovated house in the best part of town. Very tastefully decorated with everything you need. The jacuzzi was a highlight as were the beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms. Large spaces for groups as well as families. Lovely courtyard to enjoy being outdoors. Book it!
We only stayed one night.
