Heerlike verblyf op 'n outydse wynplaas.

Lovely stay on an old-fashioned wine farm.
Beautiful old-fashioned room, very quiet and tidy environment. Will definitely come again. I suggest a new main photo, because it is now more tree-rich and the arbor has grown. This creates shade and privacy on the porch for the different rooms. All the other photos are perfect.

Exceeded expectations!
We had a great stay! The farm is absolutely peaceful. You can come here to catch your breath, enjoy a coffee, and gaze at the beauty of the Stellenbosch mountains for a long time. We were well received and soon felt at home after being able to cool off in the cool pool on a bloody day. Ideal stopover for a wedding stay or if you need to escape the Cape for a night or two. On top of everything, the breakfast was also delicious!

Walking distance from De Meye Trouvenue.
The breakfast is delicious, the bed is clean. The place is rustic, something I don't like at all, but it's a step away from the De Meye wedding venue, that's why I booked it, because we don't "drink and drive". The place has enormous potential. What you need to know before booking. No window you can open at night for cool/fresh air. No window in the bathroom or room, the room door has glass. No air conditioning. No TV. No plug next to your bed. The worst for me was that the walls of the bathroom are not built up to the roof, i.e., your toilet's smells and sounds are in the room (which also has no window). For me, a toilet is a private matter and can take away romance from the room. Two of us in different rooms were also sensitive to noise and the "glug, glug, glug" for hours at night through the drain/pipes through the shower hole was disturbing. Also make sure the WiFi is working when you book, because we didn't. Their gardens are large and green, there is a swimming pool. There is a farm atmosphere and if you like rustic things the above things will not bother you. The hostesses are also nice.

Environment is beautiful but not ideal for work. No wifi, no tv and problems getting doors of rooms open when it rains. Breakfast was excellent. Walls inside rooms are unfinished and soaking wet.
For a real Cape Dutch farm experience this can be a good option but not for business trips.

Comfortable room in need of attention. Hostess very friendly and helpful.
It was a problem to enter the property as the intercom at the gate does not work and the telephone as on the booking is not answered. I had to call to gain access to the premises. The friendly hostess was unaware of our reservation and the room was not prepared. In the first room allocated to us, several lights and plugs were out of order. We went out to eat in Paarl and on our return, we were able to choose a room. Although the room looks like the photos, it is in dire need of attention. The walls are "limescaled" and when you touch them, there are white spots on your clothes. The door to the bathroom cannot close at all and falls off the track. The coffee in the container is old and hard and cannot be scooped out. No cracker or sweetener. No place to draw water or rinse cups except in the bathroom. So the price per night is too much for what one receives. The room will need to be upgraded. However, the breakfast was excellent and the hostess very friendly.

It is for the couple or person who is not in a hurry and likes beautiful scenery and a welcome farm feel.
Helen, the owner, went to great lengths and even lit the fireplace in my room before my arrival. It is in a beautiful location and offers a truly beautiful view of the Stellenbosch mountains and would be very suitable for a couple. It is a peaceful farm experience and guests should actually be tourists who are not in too much of a hurry. Breakfast was stewed guavas and yogurt and freshly baked bread and farm coffee and you are truly taken care of. You can't get away from the warm farm experience and "city hoppers" might prefer more modern facilities, but for me the fireplace and thick bedding on a cold winter's evening was too lovely.

Pleasant, top quality accommodation experience and highly recommended.
We were received kindly and effort was made to make us feel welcome and settle in comfortably. The room had fresh flowers and everything was beautiful and tasteful, clean and tidy. The in-room spa bath was stocked with bubble soap and bath salts, just in case you don't like one or the other. A complimentary bottle of ice-cold white wine in the fridge was a nice surprise! There are nice paths to go jogging and/or walking. Breakfast was served right in front of our room, on the veranda, with a lovely view of the garden and mountains. Breakfast itself (yogurt and meusli starter, with bacon and eggs as main course, orange juice and delicious filter coffee) was top notch, and very tastefully served. This is a lovely place to stay not just for one night, but for your entire holiday and then explore the Winelands from there, as it is centrally located.

Goeie dag Amanda,
Ek bedank jou vir jou eerlike en opbouende terugvoering.
Die troues wat ons aanbied is meestal van so aard dat die hele gastehuis deur die bruilof gaste beset word. Ek vra weereens om verskoning vir die raserigheid.
Ons probeer doelbewus nie TV stelle in die kamers / eenhede te plaas nie aangesien dit nie by die karakter van die 200 jaar oue gebou en karakter inpas nie.
Ons het die DStv in die eetkamer opgradeer sodat dit nou ook al die sport kanale insluit.
Ons sal graag weer julle wil bederf en dalk die keer n nog meer aangename ervaring vir julle skep.
Boland groete,
Johann
