Beautiful spot and quaint little cottage on a charming farm.

We loved our thatch cottage (Rietdakkies) and how rustic it all was. The farm is beautiful, and we enjoyed the pool and deli. There are parts of the cottage that need maintenance as it is getting very old, such as the wooden benches and deck. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

Rustig, privaat en heerlike omgewing.

Klein probleme, muurproppe werk nie, waterafvoerpyp in kombuis is heeltemal verstop. Musiek op terrein (by wynproe-area) is bietjie oorweldigend. Maar dit is heerlik rustig, privaat en 'n goeie rusplek!

Small problems, wall plugs not working, water drain pipe in kitchen is completely blocked. Music on site (at wine tasting area) is a bit overwhelming. But it is wonderfully peaceful, private and a good place to rest!

Want to come back (in summer) to enjoy the surroundings of the farm.

A lovely place with all we required, especially the fireplace in the room was good enough to heat up the place and make it cozy with the cold and wet weather this winter.

It is such a beautiful place but guests must be made aware of the dirt road.

The thatched cottage needs a lot of attention. Maintenance and eg the deck in front of the cottage is poor. Door could not close properly. There was a very dirty washcloth in the kitchen sink. Chairs at the table are broken If everything gets attention it is a beautiful place to stay.

Better described as backpackers accommodation.

We stayed in the Manor Loft 1. We didn't sleep much due to rodent activity crawling on the beams above our bed at night. The mosquito net over the bed sheltered us from debris. The milk provided for coffee was bitten into by the rodent. The water supply was limited. WiFi was not available.

Lekker, romanties, lekker ontbyt.

Het oorspronklik die boomhuis geboek maar weens omstandighede buite hulle beheer (gebreekte venster) het hulle ons geskuif na Cellar lofts toe wat 'n opgradering was. Dit was 'n baie lekker ervaring gewees en die personeel was baie vriendelik.

Dit is die ideale plek vir rustigheid.

Montpellier is ideaal vir iemand wat wil afskakel en ontsnap uit die besige en gejaagde lewe waarin ons vandag woon. Die personeel is verskriklik vriendelik en laat jou sommer dadelik welkom voel. Ek sal hulle beslis aanbeveel.

It was very chilly at Rietdakke and very dark when their was loadshedding. Otherwise this is a beautiful farm. Magical.

Rietdakke would be great in summer but in winter it is freezing cold. I recommend you bring wood for the indoor fireplace.

Uistekende geskiedkundige Herehuis-ondervinding op die wynlandgoed. Die Herehuis is in 1714 gebou en goed behoue gebly.

Die bestuurder, Emanual is 'n ware gasheer en baie deurnis is in sy werk. Die buite pizza onder die bome is 'n moet al doen jy dit net as dagbesoek. Regtig lekker pizza.

Excellent historic Manor experience on the wine estate. The Mansion was built in 1714 and has been well preserved.

The manager, Emanual is a real host and is very diligent in his work. The outdoor pizza under the trees is a must even if you only do it as a day visit. Really nice pizza.

Bespreek eerder by hoofgebou as jy dit kan bekostig.

Pragtige plaas, maar verblyf teleurstellend.

Dit is so jammer dat so pragtige plaas se verblyf so teleurstellend was. Daar was net waaiers en nie aircons in die kamers nie. Die badkamer was vuil en het sleg geruik. Die toiletrolhouer was stukkend en die badkamermatjies was gevlek. Daar was ook geel vlekke op die handdoeke en dus het ons nie gemaklik gevoel om dit te gebruik nie. Die muskiete en ander goggas het dit nog meer onaangenaam gemaak en daar was nie eers iets soos 'n citronella kersie om te help daarvoor nie. Iets soos sif voor die vensters kan 'n baie groter verskil maak as muskietnette waarin jy verstrengel raak en niks help nie. Verf dop af reg oor die hele huisie en mure en banke was regtig vuil.

Beautiful farm, but accommodation disappointing.

It is such a shame that such a beautiful farm stay was so disappointing. There were only fans and no aircons in the rooms. The bathroom was dirty and smelled bad. The toilet roll holder was broken and the bathroom mats were stained. There were also yellow stains on the towels so we didn't feel comfortable using them. The mosquitoes and other bugs made it even more unpleasant and there wasn't even something like a citronella cherry to help with that. Something like screens in front of the windows can make a much bigger difference than mosquito nets that you get tangled in and don't help. Paint peeling right over the whole house and walls and sofas were really dirty.

Underwhelming

Montpellier was underwhelming. Het meer verwag van die plaas in die algemeen. Die plaas self is baie verwaarloos en waar die selfsorgeenhede geleë is, is baie oninspirerend. Eenvoud is doodreg, maar mens kry nie 'n gevoel van omgee en lekker kuier nie. Alhoewel die foto's nie misleidend is nie, is die foto's op die webtuiste nie die gevoel in die regte lewe nie. Ons het terugvoer gelos dat daar geen wynglase is nie.

Underwhelming

Montpellier was underwhelming. Expected more from the farm in general. The farm itself is very neglected and where the self-catering units are located is very uninspiring. Simplicity is dead right, but you don't get a feeling of caring and having a good time. Although the photos are not misleading, the photos on the website are not the feeling in real life. We left feedback that there are no wine glasses.

Not great value for money at all, unacceptable.

On arrival they definitely did not expect us. The reception was not sure if we paid or not after finalising payment 2 weeks before arrival. The power wasn't switched on, we had to put it on ourselves at the main board, which also meant no hot water. The curtain was broken and the cottage just generally old and falling apart. No reply after complaining about broken curtain! Unsafe road because of lots of rain on farm road, but luckily got shown a better detour road by someone on the farm on the Saturday.

It's a beautiful farm and the house is lovely, but unfortunately not spotless.

There were cobwebs on the thatched roof. There was also black dust lying on the side of the bath that had fallen from the roof. The refrigerator's freezer section did not work. At least they helped us to freeze the meat in another place. The sink cabinet in the kitchen is creepy and the two faucets don't even look alike. The drying cloths are of very poor quality. The house needs attention to improve visitors' experience. The old house, wonderful big trees, tasty pizzas and nice staff made it a positive experience, but attention is definitely needed. There could be more pictures of the rooms posted on the website - I wasn't really sure what to expect.

Our visit was just an overnight stop on the way and not a longer visit.

The unit was very neat and clean. However, there were a few issues that could have been sorted out if we had stayed longer. The boiler did not work and there was no water pressure or hot water in the shower either. It was difficult to understand the person at reception although he was very friendly, professional and helpful. . We had to throw the key in a black box on a pole as we had to drive very early in the morning. We still don't know where that box is. It would be better to put him in/out right on the side of the road. There was a post box, but it was red and open so not suitable for safe keeping of keys. . The rooms are a bit cramped due to bulky furniture. . The information about chaltets should clearly state that there is no TV. It says; "no TV in room. " It makes you think that there might be one in the living room. . The location and surroundings are very beautiful and the chalet is comfortably furnished.

Wonderful location but lacking upkeep.

It looks like Covid has affected this location as there are distinct signs that upkeep is lacking. On the positive side the venue is very quiet, peaceful, green and lush. We were there over 3 hot days (not unusual for Tulbagh) and were surprised and disappointed to find no air-con in the room. We asked to move and luckily there was a room with an air-con available otherwise we would seriously have considered leaving and driving home that night. It was unbearable. Also the pool was murky and unserviced the entire time we were there and the flies were everywhere - fly traps were up but again were full and were not changed. Also all the rooms have awkwardly small/short baths and not showers. Why? Baths are luxurious but you don't want to run 2 baths every night before you go out for dinner! And a shower can cool you down on those hot days. Not a great decision. I would 100% recommend a visit but in its current state I would not recommend staying over.

Die kamer is baie basies ingerig, was nie behoorlik skoon nie en was oortrek met spinnekoppe en groot krieke.

Montpellier is ongelooflik mooi en 'n mens wil glo dat van die ander eenhede baie oulik is. Die plaaswerfkamers is egter baie basies ingerig en ongelukkig nie die prys per nag werd nie. Die kamer was nie behoorlik skoon nie - daar was spinnerakke, spinnekoppe en duisendpote in die kamer en water, moontlik van die stort, op die vloer die hele tyd wat ons daar was. Toe ons laat na 'n troue by die huis kom was die kamer oortrek met massiewe krieke (al was al die vensters toe) wat in ons klere ingeklim het en nog uit ons tasse gekom het toe ons al terug in die Kaap was. Ons het bestuur gebel vir 'n ander kamer, maar is ingelig dat Montpellier volbespreek is en dis daar gelaat. Vir die prys het ons effens meer gemak en netheid en beter diens verwag.

The room was furnished very basic, was not properly clean and was covered with spiders and large crickets.

Montpellier is incredibly beautiful and one would like to believe that some of the other units are very cute. However, the farmyard rooms are very basic and unfortunately not worth the price per night. The room was not properly clean - there were cobwebs, spiders and centipedes in the room and water, possibly from the shower, on the floor the whole time we were there. When we got home late after a wedding the room was covered with massive crickets (even though all the windows were closed) which got into our clothes and came out of our suitcases when we were back in the Cape. We called management for another room, but were told that Montpellier was fully booked and left it at that. For the price we expected slightly more comfort and cleanliness and better service.

Dissapointing and misleading.

Firstly there was no fridge in the place. We had to use a cooler box supplied by the establishment which I had to purchase the ice for myself. The ad doesn't stipulate there is no fridge and for R1500 I would honestly expect better. This cooler box also leaked water throughout the place. Front door of the place couldn't close properly and this was a great concern as the establishment was not access controlled or gated off. Literally anybody could access the farm. Also, the ad says braai facilities. There was no braai at the chalet. The braai was removed and we were told we can braai at the main building which I had to drive to and park and walk a distance from the parking to get to where we need to braai. The place had a mosquito net that had numerous holes in so on top of it all we were attacked by mosquitoes. The Friday morning our water at the chalet was off from around 08h00 until we checked out at 12h00. I made contact with Leana from the establishment regarding this matter and she ignored the message. We cut our stay short, because this was not what I expected and not what the ad portrays. The bed must've been the worst I've slept on by far. The bed was caved in and woke up with back aches after only a few hours of interrupted sleep. We checked out the very next day after checking in and up until today nobody from the establishment has made contact to find out why we checked out earlier. I was not happy with what we received at all. The ad shows no transparency. If I had known that is what we will get I would've much rather booked to go camping because then I know what I'm in for for half the price. This rate should seriously be reviewed and amended.

Fantasties. Pragtig.

Ek kan amper nie glo dat ek al 25 jaar in die Kaap woon en nog nooit by Montpellier du Tulbagh gebly nie. Ek is nou spyt dat ek nie vroeër van die beeldskone plaas geweet het nie. Die kamer in The Stables was vreeslik romanties, die uitsig was "to die for", die staf was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig en die tuin ... sjoe! Jy kan nie mooier nie. Baie dankie. Ons sal weer terugkom.

Talle goeie restaurante en omgewing vol kultuurerfenis. Montpellier se tuin is pragtig en die woud is vol karakter. Die ontbyt was heerlik en baie goeie waarde vir geld. Die besoek word aanbeveel vir mense wat lief is vir die natuur.

Overall, excellent stay!

Everyone was friendly and accommodating. The venue is great, and the Stable Rooms amazing. Two small things - on our first day, the rooms were not cleaned and tea/coffee supplies not updated. The lady in our group suggested maybe a dressing table for putting on make up. A suggestion for breakfast is to make sure the toast is served with the breakfast as it was cold by the time we received our food.

Boomhuis was 'n belewenis.

Die boomhuis was 'n belewenis en sal definitief weer teruggaan. Enigste kritiek wat ek het is dat daar nêrens genoem word dat die pad tot by die boomhuis nie 100% geskik is vir normale/platter motors nie (veral nie as dit reën nie). Sal great wees as dit in die beskrywing geplaas kan word.

The treehouse was an experience and will definitely go back again. Only criticism I have is that nowhere is it mentioned that the road up to the treehouse is not 100% suitable for normal/flatter cars (especially not when it's raining). Would be great if it could be put in the description.

Pragtige plaas en opstal en goed geleë ten opsigte van Tulbagh. Baie vriendelik ontvang.

As jy die opstal besoek waar jy inklok dan verwag jy dat verblyf soortgelyk sal wees maar was bietjie teleurgesteld, huisies het definitief TLC nodig. Vir oornag is dit nie te sleg.

Weekend farm stay.

The farm is lovely and picturesque, and the staff warm and attentive. I had booked a Farmyard room, but on arrival were given a Manor room. While the exterior of the Manor house is beautiful, the rooms need some maintenance and TLC (e. g the plumbing needs to be sorted out) and are extremely basic.

Lieflike wynplaas met wonderlike skoonheid en heerlike wyne, MCC. Maar Rietdakkies is nie aan te beveel nie.

Ons het in Rietdakkies no. 2 geslaap. Die kraan in die badkamer was heeltemal los. Lugversorging het nie gewerk nie. Stort was baie vuil. Geen ekstra kombers nie (was koue naweek). Dankbaar vir skoon linne en handdoeke, maar die plekkie kort aandag.

It was loud and not a quite country getaway as envisioned.

If you don't mind loud music blasting from 9am to 5pm every day from speakers in trees, then this is the place for you! The speakers in the trees are right where the accommodation is situated on the farm and thus you are subject to a variety of sounds from a playlist which makes no logical sense...and I mean... makes no sense! It jumps all over the place and is hard to follow without feeling anxious. Forget sleeping in or afternoon naps. Sometimes, they even have 2 songs playing at the same time which is an assault to ones ears and we were told that this 'does happen' with a shrug. As a music lover I found this experience extremely unpleasant. It was definitely not a relaxing experience and a further assault to my ears. We assumed this will only be played during outdoor lunchtime, but no, it's every day, whether they are serving lunch that day or not. Furthermore, there is no ventilation in the loft rooms or windows to open and with the thatch roof it feels like you are suffocating and will more than likely suffer from headaches due to the stale air as the rooms are not aired out. Lastly, don't bother paying R120 for breakfast as it's like a camp breakfast from school days gone by. You won't even asked how you want your eggs and there's nothing special on the plate for that price. Rather go find a Wimpy - even if it's in the next town - it's cheaper and tastes better! All in all a very disappointing experience and definitely not the tranquil country getaway we were striving for.

Teleurstelling.

Ons het in die Rietdakkies gebly. Alhoewel alles skoon was, is die plek verwaarloos. Die deure van die akkommodasie val half uit mekaar. Wanneer jy die gordyne oop of toe wil trek, val die gordynrelings af. Die stoep het spykers wat half uittrek en gevaarlik is. Party van die planke staan op en maak dit gevaarlik. Dit is jammer dat ‘n plek met soveel karakter so verwaarloos word. Die oggend wat ons uitgeboek het, voor 10, was die mense wat die sleutel by ons gekry het, se opmerking: “Ons het gewonder wanneer gaan julle nou uitboek.” Emmanuel, by ontvangs waar ons ingeboek het, is werklik die enigste hoogtepunt.

Disappointment.

We stayed in the Rietdakkies. Although everything was clean, the place was neglected. The doors of the accommodation are half falling apart. When you want to open or close the curtains, the curtain rails fall off. The porch has nails that half pull out and are dangerous. Some of the boards stand up and make it dangerous. It is a shame that a place with so much character is so neglected. The morning we checked out, before 10, the people who got the key from us commented: "We were wondering when you were going to check out." Emmanuel, at reception where we checked in, is really the only highlight.

You get what you pay for.

Very old house and furniture, with very few kitchenware. The shower tap leaked and didn't work. Sewerage smell as the drain was blocked at the back of the house. Bath towels had stains on. Security also not good as anyone from the streets can drive up to the house. The fresh air and evening braai was the only highlight of the place.

Hi Karen ,

So sorry for the experience you had. Did you report this to management ? I am sure they would have moved or helped you in any way they could. Please let me know if there is something I can do to make this better ? Maybe a visit to one of our other accommodation units.

Woning was van lae standaard en vuil.

Kan waarskuwing gee rakende die reuk en muskiete. Reuk was riool wat erg gestink het en hulle kan meer as net te voorsien vir muskiete. Een persoon het plek skoongemaak terwyl ons daar arriveer het 14h. Dink meer was nodig aangesien vorige gaste volgens skoon maker die plek in 'n haaglike toestand gelos het.

Can give warning regarding the smell and mosquitoes. Smell was sewage that stank badly and they can do more than just provide for mosquitoes. One person cleaned place while we arrived there 14h. Think more was needed as previous guests left the place in a deplorable state according to cleaner.
