Perfect weekend away!

I had an amazing weekend at Zuurknolsvlei. The outdoor sitting area was the highlight of our stay, with lush greenery and stunning views, perfect for relaxation. The home was cozy, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our host was incredibly friendly and always ready to assist, making our experience even better. Overall, it was a perfect getaway.

Modern meets vintage relaxation in nature.

This place is pure bliss in the heart of nature. Andre is such a great host and so accommodating. Our girls' trip was amazing, and we will definitely go back! He exceeded our expectations with his hospitality!

Cozy cottage on a farm.

We had an amazing stay in the cottage. We loved the farm and it was so convenient to Stanford and Hermanus. The cottage is charming and full of character. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for everyone. Beds are very comfortable with nice linen and plenty of cosy blankets. We loved using the hot tub and outdoor braai, but the large kitchen with dishwasher was well used also. Will definitely be back.

Baie goed ingerigte akkommodasie met baie stilte en kos vir die siel.

Marlene het ons baie welkom laat voel en moeite gedoen sodat ons die rugby kon kyk. Hierdie huis skep 'n warm gevoel wat jou gemaklik laat ontspan. Sal definitief weer 'n draai moet maak in die somermaande sodat ons die omgewing beter kan verken. Dankie Marlene, julle dra regtig jul gaste se belange op die hart!

Very well appointed accommodation with lots of silence and food for the soul.

Marlene made us feel very welcome and made an effort so that we could watch the rugby. This house creates a warm feeling that makes you relax comfortably. Will definitely have to visit again in the summer months so we can explore the area better. Thank you Marlene, you really have your guests' interests at heart!

Lekker naweekwegbreek.

Pragtige, gerieflike huis vir 'n groter gesin of groep vriende. Huis is heerlik ingerig met alles wat mens kan nodig hê. Knus beddegoed en genoeg eksta komberse en handdoeke. Die gasvrou het regtig aandag gegee aan klein details soos sout, peper, ekstra hangplek vir handdoeke en handwasseep om haar gaste welkom te laat voel. Daar was niks tekort nie en pragtige blomme in die portaal. Die kuierstoep met gerieflike banke en stoele, groot vuurherd en stofie saam met warmbadjie is die beste deel van die huis! Ons het heerlik gekuier saam met ons vriende en die tieners het ook lekker fietsgery en gelê en lees op die banke. Die gasstoof, sonkrag en wifi was ook wonderlik. Daar is ook baie om te doen in die omgewing. Ons sal graag weer kom. ('n Eksta, aparte toilet sal baie help vir 'n groter groep gaste.)

Nice weekend break.

Beautiful, comfortable home for a larger family or group of friends. House is beautifully furnished with everything one could need. Cozy bedding and enough extra blankets and towels. The hostess really paid attention to small details such as salt, pepper, extra hanging space for towels and hand washing soap to make her guests feel welcome. There was nothing missing and beautiful flowers in the portal. The porch with comfortable sofas and chairs, large hearth and stove together with hot tub is the best part of the house! We had a great time with our friends and the teenagers also enjoyed cycling and lying and reading on the sofas. The gas stove, solar power and wifi were also great. There is also a lot to do in the area. We would love to come again. (An extra, separate toilet would help a lot for a larger group of guests.)

Onvergeetlik lekker gerus.

Ons as 'n groep vriendinne het dié naweek bietjie weggebreek om ons batterye weer vol te kry, en was dit nou die lekkerste tydjie! Die hot tub was 'n groot wenner vir ontspanning en dan die rustigheid met die windjie wat so deur die bome waai wat jou na 'n sielsgelukkige plekkie! Die lekker verblyf met als wat jy benodig is pragtig.

Unforgettably comfortable.

We as a group of friends took a little break this weekend to recharge our batteries, and it was the best time! The hot tub was a big winner for relaxation and then the tranquility with the wind blowing through the trees that takes you to a blissful place! The nice accommodation with everything you need is beautiful.

Tranquility nestled between the dorpies of Stanford and Elim.

We had a lovely stay at the Zuurknolsvlei Selfsorg Akkommodasie. The place is situated a few kilometers from town, which gives it that tranquility and security. The furnishing and decor was a beautiful surprise as was the outdoor jacuzzi. There is ample outdoor space for busy children and nature lovers. I strongly recommend this accommodation.

Heerlike wegbreek met vriende!

Ons 11 vriende het 'n heerlike naweek by Zuurknolsvlei gehad! Die stoep en 'hottub' was 'n treffer vir 'n kuiernaweek, vol toegeruste kombuis, goeie beddegoed en die huis is naby aan Stanford met 'n ordentlike grondpad. Die gasvrou was heeltyd in kontak met ons en soveel moeite gedoen om seker te maak ons geniet onsself! Lekker ervaring!

Great getaway with friends!

Our 11 friends had a wonderful weekend at Zuurknolsvlei! The porch and 'hottub' were a hit for a weekend getaway, fully equipped kitchen, good bedding and the house is close to Stanford with a decent dirt road. The hostess was in contact with us the whole time and made so much effort to make sure we enjoyed ourselves! Nice experience!

We had a great stay and Marlene checked up on us on the 1st day to ensure we are okay and explained the procedure.

The only downfall of the place was that we arrived on a very cloudy weekend and the place is fully solar powered. Due to this we were unable to use items that we planned to such as the airfryer, hair irons, etc. We were also a bit disappointed that the stove was disconnected as we were planning to use this. Other than the above we enjoyed our stay and the fact that it was cloudy was unfortunately out of the owner's control.

Tranquility and a pleasurable break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Absolutely fantastic accommodation, clean and spacious with high ceilings. The polished cement finishes were modern and embraced the earthy surroundings, avoiding any moulding tiles and grout. Little things were thought of like some rusks, tea, coffee and a 5L water, perfect if you are arriving in the early evening or packed in a rush, forgetting a few items. Your door opens up to big trees, birds chirping and scenic mountain views at the back. Morning walks on the farm were a great way to wake up and soak up some winter sun. Easy 15-20 minute drive on a dirt road to town and close proximity to Gansbaai, Hermanus and Stanford. Really great value for money and cannot wait to go back again! The perfect accommodation if you are looking for some rest but also want to adventure the scenic landscapes and towns.

Lieflik! Gemaklik ingerig, mooi versier en het alles wat nodig is.

Ons was 4 paartjies en daar was oorgenoeg spasie en kamers vir almal om gemaklik te leef. Die geriewe is baie goed vir selfsorg ingerig en daar is selfs koffie, tee, melk en meer voorsien. Marlene het voor die tyd met ons gekommunikeer en ons is vriendelik ontvang en rondgewys. Baie lekker kuierstoep met mooi uitsig en rustige area. Die grondpad op pad na die huis kan dalk bietjie uitdagend wees, maar steeds geskik vir enige voertuig. Baie dankie!

Lovely! Comfortably furnished, nicely decorated and has everything needed.

We were 4 couples and there was plenty of space and rooms for everyone to live comfortably. The facilities are very well equipped for self-catering and there is even coffee, tea, milk and more provided. Marlene communicated with us ahead of time and we were kindly received and shown around. Very nice patio with nice view and quiet area. The dirt road on the way home might be a bit challenging, but still suitable for any vehicle. Thank you very much!

Wonderful! Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. In a peaceful and convenient setting.

This farmhouse, with accompanying chalets, is perfect for a large family group. We had everything that we needed and were extremely comfortable in this lovely setting. The farm is close to Stanford as well as other very interesting day trips. I would definitely recommend Zuurknolvlei to anyone looking for comfortable and attractive accommodation with family and/or friends.

Ons gesin het die plekkie gekies op grond van die foto van die stoep - dit was presies net so! Fantasiese stoepkuiers gehad om die siel te voed.

Ons het 'n plaaservaring gesoek en dit gekry. Heerlike kuier-stoep vir lees en braai en bordspeletjies. Lekker gestap op die grondpaadjies rondom die plot. Badkamergeriewe is genoeg vir 5-6 mense, maar vir meer mense mag dit 'n probleem skep. Gasvrou was tegemoetkomend. Plek is vêr ent se ry, maar dit was die plan om weg te kom uit die stad. Die skilpaaie wat kom kuier, was bonus.

Our family chose the spot based on the photo of the porch - it was exactly like that! Had fanciful porch swings to feed the soul.

We were looking for a farm experience and got it. Lovely patio for reading and barbecuing and board games. Nice walk on the dirt paths around the plot. Bathroom facilities are enough for 5-6 people, but for more people it may create a problem. Hostess was accommodating. Place is a long drive, but it was the plan to get away from the city. The visiting turtles were a bonus.

Mooi, goed ingerigte huis, pragtige omgewing.

Zuurknolsvlei is in 'n pragtige omgewing geleë. Die plaashuis is oulik en goed ingerig. 'n Ekstra badkamer sal 'n pluspunt wees. Die beste kenmerk is die groot kuierstoep waar ons baie lekker gebraai en gesels het. Die uitsig van die stoep af is pragtig. Ons het lekker gestap op die plaas. Die omgewing is rustig en mens kan net ontspan. Ons het dit ook geniet om Stanford te besoek, dit is lekker naby, asook plekke soos Birkenhead en Springfontein.

Zuurknolsvlei is located in a beautiful environment. The farmhouse is cute and well furnished. An extra bathroom would be a plus. The best feature is the large patio where we had a great time barbecuing and chatting. The view from the porch is beautiful. We had a nice walk on the farm. The environment is peaceful and one can just relax. We also enjoyed visiting Stanford, it's nice and close, as well as places like Birkenhead and Springfontein.

Beautiful, tasteful accommodation with lovely views.

Marlene is an accommodating, helpful and very friendly host. Perfect for large groups. Very clean with all the amenities one would require including a large deep freeze in the main house and a newly installed dishwasher which was great! Fortunately, the weather was a little cold, so we didn’t miss having a pool. There is a dam, but in summer I think a pool would be a must. There is a large patch of lawn in front of the farmhouse where the kids enjoyed playing soccer.

Overpriced, good design and decor.

Water pressure is not quite sorted out. Some basic equipment to self-cater absent or insufficient. Surrounds (within close walking/wandering distance) overrun with heaps of scrap and rusting old caravans/cars/washing machines/sanitary ware. Wonderful birdlife and quiet.
