Blombos Self-Catering House

Loved the location. Peaceful in nature with a view. Loved that we could take a 5km walk on the farm.

The showers was luke warm.

The location was beautiful and the house was really lovely, had everything you could need.

Everything was great.

A very special place, Calm, peaceful and brillant for Kkids. We have been there many times and will come back many times!!!

Everything wonderful!!

Ruimte in het huis

Aan de accomodatie mankeerde niks, alles aanwezig We hadden de ongelofelijke pech dat na 1dag er vreselijke branden in Pearly Beach waren met heel veel rook Kilometers ver vanuit ons huis te zien en te ruiken Mathilda en Bilah deden echt alles om ons safe te voelen Uiteindelijk toch binnen 10 min door Mathilda geëvacueerd, opgevangen door Bilah Vreselijk angstige rit dag erop om uit het gebied te komen Groot respect voor Mathilda die ook haar farm bedreigd zag worden

Absolutely everything. Kitchen was well equipped. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean, hoise was perfectly situated for the best view.

Loved everything. Maybe add a tv for the kids for evenings.

Private, clean and good location

It was so nice to stay at Blombos waking to the sound of farm animals. Lovely views towards the sea from the large verandah. It is a big, comfortable house equipped with everything you may need. Loumy and Mathilda very friendly hosts.

Lovely location, mountain view and sea view. Lots of animals sounds as a working farm🤣. Beautiful nursery and small restaurant. Rooms at cottage very spacious and beds comfortable, nice hot shower. Have all the essentials and what is required for self catering

Everything was lovely and enjoyed our 2 night stay

Everything

n/a

The location, the staff and animals on the farm was our highlight of the weekend. The convenience of having a restaurant a walk away for breakfast and lunch. Well maintained farm and hiking route close by. I loved it all

I'd say the beds are kinda small for 2 adults but other than that everything else was great.

AMAZING!!!! Blombos was the best, spectacular views... Senary and Serenity, tranquility, all that you can ask for and more. The morning park run and animal petting after the run was just a cherry on top.

None

The views, nature, the farm animals, quiteness is all that we needed as a family break away

In winter the rooms get quite cold, but the electric blankets was n big help.

Ek is baie vriendelik ontvang en Bilha is 'n juweel. Ek het vrou alleen gaan kuier en het baie veilig gevoel. Die kaggel en warm komberse was wonderlik vir die koue weer, en daar was alles wat nodig is. Die restaurant op die perseel is 'n plus, selfs "room service" :) Die uitsig is "manna vir die siel" en die stilte en vars lug, net wat nodig is om weer mens te voel!

Voorstel; Miskien 'n stoeltjie by die spieël om hare te blaas en die gesiggie in te kleur ;)

Unit has everything you need and a brilliant view of the mountain and the sea. Nice trail on the farm and the various farm animals.

Would like a bigger bed.

Blombos is fantasties! Location, lovation, location! Mooiste mooi berg en see uitkyk uit elke venster. Baie goed ingerig. Sou graag langer wou bly.

Die bed het n baie goeie maar baie ferm matras.

It was a wonderful getaway Perfect location 9

I recently stayed at the charming Blombos Self-Catering House in Gansbaai, and it was a delightful experience. The cozy two-bedroom farmhouse offered stunning views of the mountains, the lush cow fields, and the nearby beach, creating a perfect blend of tranquility and beauty. The facilities on site include farm animals, with possibilities to be fed and pet! There's a nursery, great for morning walks. A few options of hiking the mountain and endemic cape nature. These hikes range from short to long! I especially loved relaxing by the pond, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature, making it an ideal getaway. The braai facility is equipped with wood and utensils. The facility has ample space for al-fresco dining.

I would like to bring the guests attention to the rocky access roads to the house. Afterall, it is a farm, and if you are in a rental do not be worried, drive slow and steady!

Great location and so relaxing

No problems

The hosts Mathilda and Lonnie welcomed us with warm hands from day one, whenever we needed something they were there as soon as they could to help. They are excellent hosts. Their Restaurant on the farm also serves delicious food. I recommend this to everyone, that place is a haven.

We liked everything.

Fantastic unit. Very spacious, very clean. Comfy beds and electric blankets as it can get cold and windy. Great view and lovely, safe 5km walking route on the farm. Also farm animals, nursery and café on site.

The property was on a lovely farm just outside of Franskraal. We felt very safe and secure. The owners were very understanding and helpful. Everything inside the house was fully functional and the house itself is very large and spacious.

There was not much to improve on. The only thing we would have appreciated would be to have some Cremora or milk powder/milk to be able to make coffee in the morning. Other than that the property was spotless and extremely comfortable. They even have heated blankets for the beds which was lovely for the cold winter night!

Tranquil and secluded cottage! It was perfect to get out of the city and spend some time with an amazing view. There is a mountain view at the back of the cottage and a dam and sea view at the front. Excellent!

I wish we stayed longer!

This is a very large, well appointed cottage, with the most beautiful views of the sea and the surrounding farm and fynbos.

Very friendly and welcoming reception on arrival by the owners. The apartment was absolutely stunning. It had everything we needed and more. It was clean and was very surprised on how spacious it is.

The road to the farm not great, just take it slow, very rutted. There was no plug at the bed in the main bedroom which was not great.

Finishes are tops and property is clean and well equiped. Luxurious stay and secure.

Could not locate the plug point for the electric blanket. Main bedroom bedside lamps not as nice as the 2nd bedroom's.

Comfortable farm stay with everything you need in the house. The farm animals were a delight for my grandson.

Extremely peaceful home with a gorgeous view and large yard. Very family friendly! the bungalow was quiet and secluded with a wide/large porch area that wrapped around the house and beautiful ocean views. Really enjoy the opportunity to rest and be creative with my kids. So many animals on the farm they absolutely loved it! Beautiful nursery and gorgeous mountains and sunsets. Lovely indoor fireplace and it was so nice to braai with a view of the sea and the small pond in front of the property. Will definitely come back!

Groeneweide is a little piece of paradise in a very special part of the Western Cape. The views in all directions are spectacular. The farm setting is perfect for children who delight in free roaming farm animals. Blombos Cottage offers everything needed for self-catering, is extremely clean & very comfortable. The location is also perfect with so much to see & do in the surrounds. The hosts are warm, welcoming & very helpful - available to chat or see to any needs but in no way intrusive.

Our decision to only stay 4 nights ;)

Beds were comfy and the house was spotless and clean. The hosts were so welcoming and warm. I loved that there was a restaurant on the farm that had great coffee every morning. We'll definitely be back. Thank you Mathilda for a memorable stay.

Wish there was a pool on the property.

The quietness, the trail on the farm, the beautiful garden, seeing animals around, the view and the spacious place.

The host greeted us on arrival and personally accompanied us to our house, even gifting us some veggies from the garden. The place was lovely and well equipped. The garden and outside area was absolutely fabulous and we spent most of our time there. We also enjoyed coffee and cake at the restaurant, with curious goats, chickens and pigs as table guests.

The only thing we would have changed were the curtains, as they smelled of many years of heavy smoke.

Wood was provided. Sheep on the farm.

I was moved to a different house, not matching the description of the one I booked. There was no prior communication about this. I found this highly unprofessional, as the house I was moved to was very different from the one I booked. It did not have outside fireplace and the secluded pond location, which were the main reasons for my booking. The new house (two-bedroom apartment / Kiepersol) was close to the park-run area, which was very noisy on Saturday 8-10 AM. Patio was dirty with lot of bird poop, even on the improvised braai equipment. I would advise anyone to double confirm with hosts if they will actually stay in the house they booked.

We liked the surrounding environment, the mountains and the hiking trail the farm provided.

Having to leave it behind after the holiday

One of thee most beautiful places and simply the best for my toddler twins !!!!

The kids facilities !!!!!

Fresh air was the start then we saw where we would be spending our time, making our way through animals feeding and billie goats playing, my heart skipped a beat, the gardens are to die for. From our bed we had the most spectacular view of the shore all in all we had the best time ever I would recommend Groeneweide for couples and families alike with so much to do and conveniently situated. Thank you for having us we will see u again soon

That it ended.

What a lovely stay we had. My son particularly enjoyed playing with the animals and on the hay bales. It was a pleasant stay for the whole family.

Beautiful location, spacious clean house, quiet, friendly hosts.

Peaceful, well equipped, and loadshedding friendly. Loved being surrounded by the animals and nature.

The bath was suitable for kids but a bit shallow for adults. Didn't take away from the experience though and we would definitely go back again.

Groeneweide was a pleasant surprise. The cottage is neatly tucked away and you have almost total privacy. The garden is a delight and the on-site coffee shop serves up a perfect espresso, light meals, breakfast and you can even order dinner to be sent over.

Lovely private guest house, setting is magnificent. Beautiful property for a weekend away. Lots to do for adults or kids on the farm stead. Or if you just want to relax and take in the views mountain and ocean this is the destination for you. Owners are very tentative and will make your stay enjoyable.

The photos online don’t do this place justice, we had everything we needed and more.

Love love love, can't wait to go back. The houses are so well equipped and so clean, the farm is so beautiful. We never saw the kids they played with the farm animals and so much space for them to run around. The restaurant there has amazing food and service too

The layout of the cottage was perfect and it was super clean. Everything you could wish for was available inside and outside. The porch is perfect for sitting with a book during the days and for braaing at night and even when it is raining.

This gorgeous cottage feels like home. Everything is beautifully presented and fully equipped. We had a wonderful time looking at all the farm animals and enjoyed the 5km trial running route around the property. Highly recommend for any family.

brilliant location, friendly staff, pretty gardens, clean and neat house. everything worked and was very comfortable. Great place for families with kids who enjoy the outdoors. Really a lovely relaxing stay. Farm country living close to the seaside. Best of both.

We went in the middle of winter and it was still very enjoyable. Summer would be amazing exploring the trails more.

Dit was 'n heerlike,rustige wegbreek. Die restaurant op die plaas is 'n groot bonus! Ons het baie lekker gebly! Daar is ook 'n mooi staproete op die plaas.

Ons was tevrede met alles.

Everything, the accommodation is comfortable with everything we needed. The setting is great.

The location, its a family friendly property and very good value for money.

We would have wanted to be able to choose which cottage to stay in as well as the rooms inside. The room next to the kids bedroom in the cottage were locked…

Very spacious and private.

Have to open and close two gates to access the property so not that great when it’s raining.

the setting amid fynbos with lovely views in all directions. lovely home. the hosts were wonderful, friendly and helpful.

Very well equipped home from home, direct access to the mountainside, quiet and private stay on a small farm with big focus on environmentally sustainable practices. Unspoilt beaches just minutes’ drive away

N/A

The landlords are very kind and heartful. It‘s a Perfect Place to calm down with the familiy, especially with small children.

Location location location. Very nice place in the right location. Close enough to everything but still far enough from everything ! Good value for money.

Trip was to short 8-)

The location was perfect iro surrounds, serenity and ocean view.

..

The location was excellent, peaceful and with a great view. The standard and quality exceeded what we expected, because often the photographs of a place no longer resemble what it has become. The hiking trail, farm atmosphere, freedom of movement all added up to making it an obvious venue to recommend to others and for us to take our grandsons on holiday. An added bonus was Groeneweide hosting the Groeneweide parkrun and being able to enjoy refreshments in the restaurant afterwards. Having lights, WiFi and a gas stove - to boil water - made even 4 hour loadshedding nothing more than a period on the blackout roster. We never blacked out.

The bed was a bit narrow.

The beautifully wiew

Nothing

We loved the farm-stay and it was still close enough to get to the beach in two minutes. The farm has a beautiful 5km hiking trail which we loved. The house is very spacious and has beautiful views. We also loved the grass around the house. They also have a back-up system for the house during loadshedding which was very nice. There was enough fire wood which we have appreciated! We will definitely book again!. We like the fact that there's no TV although some people might disagree..There is also a nice restaurant on the farm with a petting zoo and lots to do for kids.

There were some kitchen utensils required. A washing line outside would also be great especially for all the wet beach towels and one of the bathroom doors could not close properly. But with that being said, we still had an awesome stay!

The location, with the sea in front and mountains at the back, plus the farm like setting, added to a most relaxing holiday. The cottage is private and very well equipped with amazing views. Rooms are spacious and beds comfortable. Mathilda is an excellent hostess and very knowledgeable about the area. A place worth visiting again.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the serenity of the farm and can't wait to go back and stay a bit longer to explore!

The spaciousness and views were incredible.

That we had to cut our trip short because of unforeseen circumstances.

Setting, quiet, cleanliness

Nothing

Friendly hosts, great views, nature walks, restaurant on premises.

Spacious living area. Beautiful farm and mountain views. Very clean. Hiking trail on the farm. The farm animals add to the atmosphere. Restaurant also available on the farm for breakfast and lunch. Even inverter available for load-shedding. Will definitely be back.

The mountain views, the sea views, the fynbos, the farm animals, the wonderful, spacious, stylish yet laid back cottage, the complete privacy and, not least of all, Mathilde and all the staff at the farm and the restaurant. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. We had such a wonderful, comfortable stay, and wished we could have stayed longer. We hope Bokkie (the goat) managed to have her baby safely and is doing okay

There are no negatives I can think of.
