Very relaxing place to be.

This is such a lovely place to stay. The staff are very well trained and professional. We were particularly impressed with the glorious pool area, so cleverly designed to avoid the wind. We also enjoyed visiting Stanford village with its variety of cafés and charming mid-century architecture.

Exceptional.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this lodge! From the moment we arrived, we were treated to exceptional service by the friendly and professional staff, who warmly welcomed us and showed us to our room. The room itself was stunning - immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and utterly charming. And the breakfast? Truly unforgettable - the best we've had in a long time! Every aspect of our stay was truly delightful. We can't wait to come back and experience it all again!

Wonderful peacefulstay in beautiful surroundings!

We really liked Stanford Guest Farm and the service was excellent. The restaurant is top class and the views great! The rooms are large and comfortable. Swimming in the dam was exhilarating. I did find it a bit pricey in comparison to the other comparative places we stayed in on this holiday but we shall certainly return one day!

Lekker luukse wegbreek in die natuur.

Pragtige, landelike omgewing, vriendelike gasvrou, 5-ster-restaurant, weg van die stadsgejaag en steeds naby genoeg aan verskeie lekker plekke en dinge om te doen, sowel as die see by De Kelders. Beslis die moeite werd vir 'n langnaweek se wegbreek.

Beautiful, rural setting, friendly hostess, 5-star restaurant, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and still close enough to several nice places and things to do, as well as the sea at De Kelders. Definitely worth it for a long weekend getaway.

Heerlike ervaring.

Ons was vir 'n troue by Beloftebos. Ons verblyf by Stanford Valley was baie lekker. Alles was mooi vars en skoon en dis 10 minute van die trou venue af. Elzabe het ons hartlik verwelkom. Ons kon vroër in ons kamer intrek as wat beplan was. Stanford is 'n baie lekker wegbreekplek en baie mooi dorpie.

Vreeslik lekker en stil.

Die enigste ding waaroor ek kan kla is die lae druk van water in die huis as hulle grasperke en tuine natspuit in die middel van die dag. Verder was ons verblyf uitstekend. Lekker stil met pragtige uitsigte oor die landskap. Heerlike groot grasperke vir kinders om te hardloop en speel. Mens moet ook net versigtig wees met kinders wat nie kan swem nie, daar is 3 oop damme binne loopafstand van huise af wat gevaarlik kan wees. Ek sal enige tyd weer hier kan bly. Die rustigheid omvou jou en maak vir 'n ontspannende vakansie.

Very ice and quiet.

The only thing I can complain about is the low water pressure in the house when they water the garden in the middel of the day. Other than that our stay was excellent. Nice and quiet with beautiful views. Lovely, large lawn for the kids to run around and play on. One just has to take extra care with kids who don't know how to swim since there are 3 open dams within walking distance of the house which could be dangerous. I would stay here again anytime. Peace surrounds you and this makes for a relaxing holiday.

Ongelooflike ervaring!

Pragtige verblyf, uitmuntende gasvryheid en asemrowende omgewing/natuurskoon. Met ontvangs het ons reeds tuis en welkom gevoel. Ons behoeftes in terme van privaatheid en verblyf is oortref en die eienaar het uit haar pad gegaan om ons in 'n groter eenheid te akkommodeer. Die omgewing is pragtig en rustig, met baie om te verken en ervaar. As die restaurant oopmaak sal dit eersteklas wees! Ons sal definitief weer gaan.

Beautiful accommodation, excellent hospitality and breathtaking surroundings/natural beauty. Upon reception we already felt at home and welcome. Our needs in terms of privacy and accommodation were exceeded and the owner went out of her way to accommodate us in a larger unit.

Baie vriendelike atmosfeer, lekker ligging en netjiese akkommodasie. Ontbyt was ook baie lekker!

Elsabe is 'n baie goeie gasvrou, en sy het ons van die begin laat gemaklik en welkom voel. Die kunsuitstalling was goed, en die musiek deur "bottomless coffee" was uitstekend! Ons was blykbaar die eerste gaste vir wie ontbyt aangebied was, en dit was heerlik! Kamers is baie netjies en die omgewing is fantasties. Die plaas is ook baie goed ingerig in 'n baie kort tydjie.

Na een vervelend incident met betrekking tot veiligheid bevelen we dit niet aan.

Als enige gasten op het grote buiten verblijf ver van de bewoonde wereld was het geen prettig idee dat wij als gasten hier alleen zonder management of bewaking verbleven. Ook al was de toegangshek door middel van een paal gesloten aan alle kanten kon hier omheen toegang verschaft worden tot het terrein.

Although we are sincerely sorry to hear that you had this unhappy experience at Stanford Valley, Gre, we are also happy to confirm that we have taken new ownership of the guest farm on 1 April 2015 (approximately four months after your stay in January) and that you will not only find a management team on the property 24/7, but also excellent upgrades including a beautiful entrance with remote-controlled access and a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We’d like to invite you and your family for a complimentary night’s stay should you visit our area again in the near future for a guaranteed positive experience!

Die kamers is perfek. Ek hou van die eenvoudigheid. Ek het wel 'n klagte. Altwee aande het ek omtrent niks geslaap nie. Daar was 'n groep wat in die aande besluit het hulle gaan nou partytjie hou. Die Vrydagaand was die ergste. Hulle het kliphard lawaai tot wie weet watter tyd. Mens het respek vir ander mense wat ook daar bly. Ek verwag nie dat mense nie gesellig verkeer nie, maar is daar nie 'n reel dat daar na 'n sekere tyd stilte moet wees nie?nnEk het glad nie klagtes oor die plek self nie, net oor die reels. Dis baie steurend vir ander mense wat daar bly terwyl mense hulle uit die slaap hou. nnEk sal verseker weer die plekkie wil besoek om 'n naweek deur te bringnnBaie dankie.

I don't expect people not to be sociable, but isn't there a rule that there must be silence after a certain time?nnI have no complaints at all about the place itself, just about the rules.

In harmonie met die natuur ... het glad nie eens die TV of radio gemis nie!

Ons het in Protea 1 gebly, en sommer tydens ons ontvangs op die plaas is ons welkom laat voel. Daar is ekstra moeite vir ons gedoen, soos Leanne wat die Vrydagaand 'n krat hout aangedra het, toe sy sien dat ons wil braai. Dit is sulke klein dingetjies wat 'n groot verskil maak. Die rustigheid van die plaaslewe was 'n groot pluspunt, en die feit dat daar nie TV was nie, het bygedra tot die positiewe ervaring - met so 'n wegbreek-naweek wil mens juis wegkom van al die lawaai om weer die stem van die natuur en jou eie siel te hoor ...

In harmony with nature... didn't even miss the TV or radio at all!

We stayed in Protea 1, and right during our reception on the farm we were made to feel welcome. Extra effort was made for us, like Leanne who brought a crate of wood on Friday evening, when she saw that we wanted to have a barbecue. It's little things like that that make a big difference. The tranquility of the farm life was a big plus, and the fact that there was no TV added to the positive experience - with such a getaway weekend you just want to get away from all the noise to hear the voice of nature again and hear your own soul...
