Pros: Lovely stay - no major issues. Having the restaurant and tasting room within walking distance was great.

Cons: Only 2 nitpicks - I wish the pool was cleaner and the mosquitos were less of an issue. Nothing bad tho !

Very friendly experience

Pros: The staff was amazing, extremely friendly and helpful.

Shan 8/10

Singapore 🇸🇬

Pros: The room was super cute and the staff were warm and lovely. The place was very clean, and breakfast was great! The grounds were beautiful to walk around on.

Cons: The air conditioning in my room was blowing directly at the head of the bed and I was unable to adjust it such that the wind was not so strong that it would give me a headache. In the end I had to cover the air conditioning unit with a towel so that the wind is directed elsewhere

Good option close to Stellenbosch with beautiful surroundings

Great value for money and a nice place to spend a day just chilling out.

Pros: The location was very beautiful, the staff and indeed guests were very friendly and the food was excellent, and very good value for money, as well. At just ZAR40, the wine testing was a must do. I just wanted to chill for a day after a very long trip from Canada and this worked perfectly for me.

Cons: They were a little bit rigid about times. Eg made me leave the room at 11 but, even though I was not picked up until noon (when I had wanted to vacate the room), no one had come by even to start cleaning.
