Although I had a nice stay, there was a problem with the room. I bought a deluxe room for extra space, but upon check-in we were put in a standard room. There was no deluxe room available, which was quite upsetting. There was also no attempt at a discount. So I don't know if I will go there again. For the price, the breakfast was ok. We did not have dinner in the hotel, but were instead directed to a restaurant in town which would remain open until 20h00. For a hotel it is not good enough. The service from the staff was very friendly, and the room and bathroom were clean.

Beste Clive,
Baie dankie dat u by De Doornkraal Vinotel oorgebly het asook die tyd geneem het om 'n resensie te skryf. Ons waardeer u mooi opmerkings oor ons fasiliteite en personeel se diens. Ons verstaan dat die internet 'n belangrike rol in die alledaagse lewe speel en wil verskoning vra vir die ongerief wat u met die internet ondervind het. De Doornkraal Vinotel bestuur is tans in proses om die internetspoed en verbindings in die hotel te laat herevalueer.
Ons hoop om julle gou weer te sien.
Vriendelike groete

Very pleasant, just very cold! Last week in August 2019.
The breakfast was wonderful! The croissants melt in your mouth - outstanding! The French lady who served us was great! She even packed us some padkos with 2 bottles of mineral water! The two small problems we encountered in the room were quickly resolved - thank you very much! The luxury room does not have electric blankets, but a hot water bottle is provided as well as a heater. So we slept soundly and didn't get cold!

Very pleasant. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Beautiful "compound" of old buildings with garden and seats in the middle. Secure parking behind locked gate. Delicious food, generous portions. The buildings are very old and have been beautifully restored, or simply kept as they were - nostalgic, because they remind you of grandmothers and grandfathers and their farmhouses! The rooms are comfortable, and we have the old-fashioned furniture, baths, etc. appreciate. Much cozier than clinical modern buildings.

Wonderful, the people were so hospitable and the food delicious!
The guesthouse is a beautiful, old house, very well looked after. The bed was great, everything you need is in the room, except for shampoo. The food and service in the evening was fantastic, wine was delicious. The service in the morning was a bit slow and food good. The hospitality was very warm. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area again.

The accommodation was nice and comfortable, but the restaurant was simply poor. We waited over 2 hours for dinner, and were then asked if we would be willing to accept a wrong order! This, after being asked earlier how done I prefer my chicken!

The service was 5 star and their food was excellent!
We very quickly received an email from the hotel with proof of booking. The cook also emailed us a menu. The service was excellent! We have never eaten and socialized so well. We ordered the Arni Kleftiko. "By prior appointment - 24 hours notice. Chef Peppas prepares this traditional slow roasted Greek lamb using a whole square cut shoulder. Served on a platter to table with Ya Ya's Patates, veg in season, pita breads and tzatziki. Serves four to six. " De Doornkraal Boutique Hotel will definitely see you again!

Room and all amenities were fantastic. Extremely clean.
Chef Chistopher is amazing. At no point did we feel like just another guest in a hotel. He went out of his way to make our stay special and very comfortable. His food was fantastic and the personal attention to small "detail" remarkable. Definitely a gem of a hotel and we would definitely recommend it. All staff were friendly and even when we had special requests, someone was always there to help.

Authentic and somewhat romantic.
De Doornkraal is a cute little place that will definitely appeal to those who like something authentic and somewhat romantic. We booked two nights bed and breakfast but actually saw little of the area as we spent most of the time at a rugby tournament in Oakdale. The staff are very friendly and do their very best to please you. The breakfast and dinner we enjoyed there were top notch and the chef is top notch.
