Everything was absolutely amazing, with so much care and attention to detail from the management team. The breakfast experience felt truly special and welcoming—you wouldn’t think breakfast could stand out like that, but it really did! The venue was stunning, and all the facilities were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Great location at the convergence of the two main East/West Road routes between Cape Town and George. Also closely linked to Rothmans, so there is likely to be flexibility in vacancies Nicolene was an efficient host (again!), too. It is a rustic style with clean and modern facilities, tastefully furnished, and in a quiet location with fabulous outlook from.the main room over the hills and valleys. Especially colourful in Autumn, too, with plenty of birdlife and pretty gardens.

    Great location, just off the N2 in a quiet residential street but within walking distance to several restaurants. Comfortable room, great bed & shower. Patrick & Gray were perfect hosts, Patrick was a mine of information both locally for a great hike and future holiday options. Lovely breakfast on the patio looking out on the mountains. Perfect!

    Nice and quiet location with a great hostess. Private house with an extra room and small private kitchen to rent out. Separate entrance so you’re completely independent. Beautiful view of the hills during breakfast. We also used it as a base to visit De Hoop which is quite a ride but worth visiting and still having the luxury of good restaurants and coffee bars in town.
