"Boutique hotel in the middle of nowhere. The property was lovely overall and the room was old and had antique charm. But it was cold and all I had in a large suite was a small fan heater. My room was full of old colonial era photos - not something I particularly appreciate and for that reason alone I will not stay there again. Dinner at the in-house restaurant was an attempt to be fancy with limited options, but I think it missed the mark and was quite overpriced. Breakfast was also quite...

"Amazing hospitality from Melani! Perfect escape for relaxation and getting in touch with nature. Our rooms were modern and well equipped with stunning views of the mountains. There was access to hiking trails directly from the property. We really enjoyed walking into town and lazing around the heated pool. Added joy of having the most well behaved and loving dogs we have ever met! Even if you are not a dog lover, Kenya and Luca will respect your space. Can’t wait to return! "

"Leider War das Geschirr im Zimmer dreckig bei der Anreise. Durch den Teich im Hintergrund und die immer währende Beleuchtung im Hintergrund wimmelte es im Zimmer leider vor Mücken - wir konnten kaum schlafen. Landleben hin oder her aber ich glaube andere Zimmer waren nicht so betroffen. "

"The backyard and pool area were beautiful. Staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant beside the guesthouse was delicious."

"Our luxury room ( with mountain view) was absolutely charming, spacious and super clean. The room was newly renovated, tastefully furnished and thoughtfully outfitted with everything that could be required. The mountain view from the expansive windows and patio door was stunning and the outdoor seating area on the balcony looking at the same view was a definite plus. The only downsides were a slightly firm mattress and a bit of road noise. Otherwise it was a nearly perfect stay."

"Property is in serious need of maintenance. Rooms are very outdated and furniture is old and extremely dirty. The couch is covered with an old blanket to “hide” the filthy old cushions and armrests are brown and greasy from the filth. Public areas is dilapidated and rundown with no attention to detail, weeds growing between paving, grass is overgrown etc etc. Television is extremely old. This place is clearly not living up to its potential and very poorly managed. "

"Lovely find. Off the beaten track. On our way to a Safari about 6 hours off the Garden route, so only stayed one night. Liked it much that we have booked another night on our return to Capetown!"

"Amazing!"

"Warm welcome to a lovely self catering unit. Well equipped and very neat and tidy. Johan (owner) provided all necessary info with regards to places to eat etc. Overall an amazing experience. Thank you."

"Beautiful setting, views were great from our Fish Eagle loft. Walking distance to museums, restaurants and the little town centre. Short drive to farms and nature reserve. "
