An incredible property outside of Cape Town. We were there only one night but it would be great for 10 friends to go for the weekend and relax.

Everything was brilliant, there was nothing we disliked. The room, the service, the food, the wine were all the best, with the "add-on" of a tour of the vineyard. Fantastic!

Country style with a difference
Posted 20 Oct 2017 on HotelsStaff excellent. They even cleaned my car without asking which was a lovely surprise as the car was very dusty after lots of off road miles. Very comfortable place to stay. High quality. Accommodation old Victorian style but spacious and high quality. Fair trade business who genuinely care about the product they are selling. Staff are treated with the same principles and are valued in the Jan Harmsgat business.

Charming country atmosphere
Posted 11 Jul 2015
Pros: Perfect for our overnight stay on a 3 day trek along the Garden Route of South Africa.
Cons: The heat was slow to respond, being an underfloor system, and the was none in the bathroom.
Location: Secluded country setting, we only stayed overnight so nearby things did not matter.
The staff greeted us immediately upon arrival. The chef came out with a delicious description of the dinner he was preparing. The walk to our 'house' was through a grape vine arboretum past the pool. The house was charming and well appointed. The dinner (extra cost) was well worth it and we had a wonderful breakfast. The dining area had a lounge area that was just right for after a relaxing after dinner drink.

This guest house could be so much better

Pros: The setting and gardens
Cons: Piped music and no real host.
Location: Good apart from road closure to Swellendam
Beautifully situated hotel, it would have helped if they had alerted visitors to the closure of the road from Swellendam! The piped music in the restaurant was somewhat irritating particularly the breakfast selection. The staff were friendly but the service at dinner was extremely slow. We felt that there was nobody there with enough presence to be alert to enough to see when things were going wrong.
