Very pleasant stay in a wonderfully restored house.
Very pleasant stay in a wonderfully restored house. Even though the accommodation is close to the owners' house, it is very private. Nice green garden and a lovely little swimming pool.

Wonderful peaceful atmosphere where we could relax and get closer to nature and to each other.
Kapteinskloof guest house has a large private garden with a rich sensory life and I will definitely take binoculars and a bird guide with me next time. The wood fired hot tub is a must! The guest house has everything one needs and Melanie is a very friendly and helpful hostess. Will definitely want to experience the peace and tranquility there again.

A wonderful getaway to the countryside of Italy.
Close to city and other Boland regions, but far enough, so excellent for a weekend getaway. If you are tired from work then this is a wonderful place to catch up with sleeping, swimming, reading, cooking etc. Had a great swim and enjoyed the hot tub. Trying out new dishes. Lots of walking and the teenagers went horse riding.

A privilege to experience something of bygone days in such a beautiful, restored cottage, with such a beautiful setting.
Kapteinskloof Guesthouse is situated in a beautiful and watery gorge near Piketberg. It was a privilege to be able to stay in the beautifully restored cottage and we would love to go again. Years ago, I read an article about Kapteinskloof and its previous owners, the Fouries, and was my surprise great when I booked here and realised that the cottage in which we were accommodated was a restoration project of the Fouries. Kapteinskloof is a comfortable distance from Cape Town and Melanie and her team warmly welcomed us. Surrounded by blueberry and citrus orchards, we were deeply impressed by the peaceful and beautiful scenery. We didn't know the area, and it was great to discover the secrets of the Sandveld. Early in the morning we had a look at Piketberg and I even bought some gum boots for my own gardening. Then we drove to Velddrif for a delicious lunch on the lagoon, and for a walk through Laaiplek. We went back to Kapteinskloof for our own braai early that evening. Although the pool in the orchard, with fresh fountain water, looked extremely tempting, we left it for another time. There is also a hot tub for guests interested in such. Hopefully we will be able to visit the mission stations such as Moravia, Wittewater and Goedverwacht next time. It is good that cottages like these that are examples of our folk art are preserved and maintained.
