Hanging out on the porch, beautiful house, quiet and rural.
Yes, lovely place with a fantastic view for sitting on the terrace with morning coffee or late afternoon sundowner. The villas are cleverly designed for two sets to share and visit again and again. Nicely furnished, neat and new and everything you need for a self-catering break. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hiking trails, farm animals, wine tasting and restaurant invite you to discover and enjoy the farm, we felt completely at home during our visit!

Comfortable, convenient and great place to just relax.
We had a great stay at Stanford Hills Estate's Villa cottage. Very well equipped, and everything actually feels very new. Would love to recommend it. It's two cottages next to each other - so don't expect 100% privacy - but it actually didn't bother us at all.

Peaceful getaway.
The Stanford Hills Estate is private and has a beautiful view. The fireplace heats the cottage well and the wood-burning hot tub is a plus. One can walk on the farm and there is a restaurant.

Nice, comfortable, but the hot tub is useless.
The place was well equipped and nothing was missing. The bed slept wonderfully and warm. We had a great time at the onsite restaurant. The staff are all friendly. We chose accommodation based on hot tub availability. If there wasn't a hot tub here, we wouldn't have made the choice to stay here. However, the hot tub was disappointing. We used 4 large crates full of wood and the bag of wood they provided and it was hopeless. The concept doesn't work. There are no instructions on how to use the tub (- I sent a WhatsApp late at night trying to find out if we were doing something wrong, other than just making the fire and stirring the water). There is no pump to circulate the water. We stirred the water with the wooden paddle, but it was useless. The spot-spot hot tub concept is much more effective than what they have in place here. Yes, it's winter, and sure it works better in summer, but still - how much wood does one have to use up, at what cost, to enjoy something you paid for?

Baie luuks splinternuut. Duur meubels, maar warm water is 'n probleem.

Very luxurious brand new. Expensive furniture, but hot water is a problem.
Had gas geyser problems during the two days of our stay. The staff couldn't get it right. Fortunately, we had a specialist come the next day who helped. We finally found a way to get hot water with difficulty. The problem is that they don't listen to the specialist's advice about connecting to gas cylinders. There are two geysers connected to one.

Not the relaxed evening we expected.
The road to Sylvia is not the best. There is a big shortage of WiFi. The TV set could not work due to the poor WiFi, so it could not be used. There was only chance for a phone to be able to attach to the WiFi now and then. The level of care about maintenance is what captured us. The rooms' roofs and walls are dirty and care seems to be no longer a priority. Dust and spiders are another big no. There are positive areas - braai area a top point as long as you can accept the wind, everything is available in the kitchen. We just couldn't get past the quality of the areas, cleanliness not being a priority.

Shower drain blocked and falls from shower floor incorrectly. Water washed into the kitchen. Only one person could take a shower. No bath. :(.

We had a great time. My 7-year-old daughter asked in shock where the TV was when we walked in, but it was lovely to just enjoy each other's company. Als was nice and clean and everyone was friendly. My wife was very happy about the beautiful bunch of proteas. See you again soon.

After a night's sleep, there are five Stanford Hills employees in the reception building. Two are on social media. One combs her hair. One takes your money. Nul asks if your stay was okay.

Accommodation good, but staff very friendly but extremely poor.
Didn't get the cottage we asked for at first. Paying for DStv but no TV available. Pay back later. Wine tasting extremely poor. Bottles must have been open for a very long time and wine oxidized. Different wines in the same glass with no water or anything to clean the palette. Person has very little knowledge of product. Wine is not served hygienically. Rub mouth of bottle warm with bare hand. Website says wine tasting is free. Price R40 per person.

We really enjoyed it, especially that our little dog could go with us. We had an enclosed cottage and she was also safe when she played. Couldn't have come out at all. The cottage has a great view, the wind was blowing quite a bit when we were there, but we really enjoyed the porch and view.

Braai areas and porch need renovation. Think the photos are a bit misleading, but am sure there are people who will enjoy the cottages.

Nice view, but shower doesn't work.
We only got there late on the Friday evening as we were working until late, so we just sat down and went into town to eat at the restaurant we had booked. When we came back, we wanted to take a hot shower, but to our great disappointment, only drops of water came out of the shower. We had to drive again early the next morning, so didn't have time to wait for someone to come and check, so had to take a shower at the next destination only in the afternoon. I feel like you're only paying for a place to sleep and a hot shower on a Friday night, so disappointing.
