A beautiful farm stay in the winelands, close to Swellendam, Montagu and Robertson! We received such a warm welcome from the staff and had a stunning dinner at their restaurant, Just Amy. The breakfast the next morning was out of this world! Ask to do a wine tasting as well of the single vineyard wines this farm produces and don't leave without trying the farm's pomegranate juice. The rooms are really well equipped and comfortable with everything you need!

Nothing negative to say. It is a lovely place to stay and we really enjoyed it. We were only there for one evening but will stay longer when we go past there again.

The location of this country house was ideal for the exploring of the Bonnievale / Ashton / Montague wine regions. The rooms were clean, neat and well appointed. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The on-site restaurant was very good and breakfast was delicious. The 100% pure pomegranate juice was fabulous. The farm is a great place to explore and walk.

Some of the DSTV channels were not available due to poor reception.

We really enjoyed our stay. Leandra and the team at the Restaurant were absolutely spectacular in their service and the way they looked after us.

If you are sound-sensitive, then you will find the traffic sounds from the nearby road intruding. Be aware.

Absolutely wonderful! Beautiful, tranquil surroundings, excellent food ( best breakfast of our whole trip), super friendly staff. Great hiking/ running trails straight from the front door. I don’t usually feel inclined to write reviews but this place was really quite special. Highly recommend it!

Beautiful setting and very relaxed vibe. The food was incredible. I think the lamb Rogan Josh I had for dinner was the best thing I ate in my entire stay in South Africa. We loved sampling the pomegranate juice from the farm and found the room incredibly comfortable.

Nothing we didn't like.

Gorgeous setting amongst gardens with a lovely pool area, very clean and comfortable room. Delicious food for breakfast and dinner.

Would have liked more detailed information from reception on what activities were available on the property or in the surrounding area.

Absolute perfect If you are looking for a place to relax. We really felt like kings at this place. Area and staff were amazing.

The distance to the next road was a bit close, so you could hear the traffic. But I asume you have this at all winefarms along the road..

Walking in the olive groves and pomegranate orchards was awesome. The welcome was warm, all staff divine and the food AMAZING!!!

I wasn't aware that the property was on the main road - me being doff, not the fault of anyone else. We were wanting complete peace but for a night - what a beaut spot. Thank youm

The breakfast was off an Ala carte menu and delicious. The Location was central enough yet far away enough to be a country get away. All our expectations were exceeded. The room was comfy and beautifully decorated. I highly recommend this destination

The proximity to the main road and the quiet yet constant sound of cars and trucks was only pity. If not for this then there are no complaints.

A really tranquil spot. We enjoyed excellent meals. My husband rated the eggs Benedict for breakfast as the best he's ever had. The staff were delightful, and we appreciated the car wash.

Nothing to complain about
