    There was nothing to fault

    We throughly enjoyed our stay in this private and secluded newly built luxury cabin located on a gorgeous stud farm. Very modern but also rustic, beautiful furniture and furnishings. Amazing vistas and stars at night. Wood fired hot tub was the highlight and outdoor bath and shower if you so desired. ( there was a beautiful bathroom inside too so don’t worry ;)

    The bed was a little firm but that’s personal preference

    Fantastic location, amazing views and the most tranquil stay we’ve had in SA. If you like dogs, you’ll live this place! Tip for travellers: get some groceries and drinks before you arrive as the nearest shop is a bit of a drive away. Nothing better than cooking on the braai with the sunset in the background

    I didn't like that I didn't have as much privacy. Rooms were all close together. Rooms and living area was all in one and the pictures were actually a bit deceiving. The space wasn't huge but as functional as it could be. The kitchen is inside the cupboard. The sink was tiny and made doing dishes a nightmare. The hot tub is not on your door step and again not that private. Also the instructions to use hot tub was also a bit misleading as it took much longer than an hour to heat up. The pillows were a bit high and I was left with a sore neck. But honestly nothing major that could've ruined my stay. I write this in the hopes that the owner sees this a constructive criticism, and uses what I have shared to better the quality of the stay. I reiterate nothing major that could ruin my stay.

    Overall was a good stay. I enjoyed the views, and the lush lawns and flowers. The room was cleaned daily and even flowers was fresh every single day. I liked that I could decide what time I would like my room to be cleaned so one doesn't feel pressured. I liked that they had solar powered bulbs and rechargeable lamps for load shedding. It was the first to stay on a working farm and it was quite pleasant. Being a stud farm it goes without saying that there were more flies than normal however multiple sprays were supplied that doesn't leave a nasty odor this was nice and well thought through. Honestly it's the little things that will get me back. The overall stay was a relaxing and pleasant one.

    The only thing thats a bit of an issue with this place is the access road. Not very friendly for a small family vehicle.

    Private, clean , great facilities. The hot tub is the cherry on top.

    We really enjoyed the tranquility the bungalow provided with serene views from the hot tub as well as from the back deck. The location of the farm was ideal as we were close to wine farms that provided some of the best wine and food experiences on offer in the world!

    A fantastic getaway with beautiful views of mountains, vineyards and horses. The bungalow was exceptionally well equipped with kitchen utensils, fridge and everything else needed to make our stay most comfortable.

    I think they need to offer a service where you can ask for the hot tub to be lit at a particular time and then it's really when you would like to jump in. I know it sounds silly but tending to it for 2 hours was a bit boring especially in very windy conditions. I would have gladly paid extra to say please can the hot tub be ready for 7pm or whatever :) Other than that the only other 2 things which were not great is that the walls to the rooms are paper thin, you can hear everything from the unit next door even when the people are not speaking loudly. If the people in the room next to you are also smokers then you can't really sit outside because all the smoke blows your way.

    Location could not be more perfect, think green fields up against the hills with gorgeous horses running around and the sights and sounds of a peaceful farm life. Room was very comfy, nice size with everything you could need like Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, fridge etc. Lovely large 4 poster bed which was very comfy. Wood fired hot tub just a few steps away was lovely to relax in after a long day.

    Just hated how the guests in the next room smoked on the shared verandah. It is a shame how the nicotine was polluting that beautiful place. Should be free of all smoking zone, even on the verandah.

    excellent location. We just loved how close it is to vineyards in the area. Staff and owner were the best

    My husband and I celebrated his 40th and I felt like a few special touches such as adding flowers from the farm and perhaps small chocolates on the bed would've made it extraordinary.

    It was secluded and completely private. We felt like we were the only people on the farm. The view is absolutely breathtaking. The cabin was super neat and tidy. The outside bath and hot tub is superb. We loved it!
