    The site is in a wonderful location, surrounded by mountains with so much space within the estate itself, we stayed in the retreat cottages, across the road from the main site, but so peaceful, with a willing mini bus ready to take you around as needed. We hired bikes, went hiking, wine tasting, had some amazing meals and the kids had a ball. Breakfast was great, lots of choice cooked fresh and served not far from the rooms. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to return, thank you to everyone who made our stay.

    My husband and I had a very nice and relaxing time at Huguenot house. The environment is very peaceful. The view ! Simply stunning. Jesse the owner and Maga the manager were very friendly and helpful. We had a very nice breakfast with a view. I would recommend the Huguenot house to anyone who is looking at a quiet and relaxing gateway!

    Lisa and the team hosted us for two nights at their stunning guest house and we had such a lovely time. Great location - only a short walk from the town, and beautiful gardens with mountain views. Even when fully booked, the guest house feels so quiet and peaceful and we had the pool to ourselves whenever we wanted to use it. A very relaxing stay and perfect for anyone enjoying the wine region!

    We loved our stay at Cape Vue and we are planning a return later this year. A lovely welcome from Dino and a very pretty room. Hugh quality linens and bathroom products, peaceful quiet sleep. The location was fabulous both for the short walk to town, or watching the mountains from the pool area. Service and breakfast was first class. We used our car and Uber whilst visiting vineyards as well as the lovely wine tram. No
