A lovely stay in a beautiful estate! Very comfortable accommodation, beautiful surroundings, and excellent food, served with a smile :-) Small gestures, like the self-made Limoncello, were much appreciated.

An absolute find in this beautiful part of the Karoo. The atmosphere and style is that of a traditional Game Lodge. The food is excellent with a team to match. There are several designated walks within the estate for all levels of ability. The one thing we noticed is how immaculately clean the whole place was, with the pool being the cleanest we've experienced throughout our travels in SA. The only downside is that there is no A/C in the bedrooms (there's a ceiling fan), which can make it a little hot during the night. I guess one could open the windows and allow the air in, but the mosquitos tend to come along too.

Great transformation of historic buildings with a well earned 5* rating.
The service provided by the well trained staff is exemplary. The restaurant food is of a very high standard. The dining area is located to the rear of the property looking over a part of nature the Hotel Management are diligently caring for.
A stay at this property is highly recommended. I fully intend to return

Lovely oasis in the middle of nowhere. Good food. Simple but comfortable rooms with great views. They shouldn’t still be using plastic bottles for water

Set in a beautiful quiet location just outside Montagu, this olive estate is the perfect place to stay if you want peace and relaxation. Our room had a fantastic view over the countryside. The staff were helpful and food excellent. Wished we’d stayed one more night
