    Beautiful historic farmhouse in the most charming part of the valley. You feel the love and care that goes in every detail. We loved the first floor big suite under the thatched roof with the cool breeze. Wonderful breakfast. Very nice walks in the countryside from the estate.

    The farmhouse turned guesthouse is really lovely for a couple of day's stay. Beautiful view into the vinyards and a lovely pool area to relax by. The guesthouse is just 10 mins drive to Franschhoek town and all the neighbouring wine estates. Communication was super easy, also via WhatsApp, with recommendations for activities, dinners and wine tastings.

    Rustic and comfortable, beautiful views and lovely decor. The wood fire was so cosy in the evening. Jonathan the Farm Cottages Manager was a delight! He looked after us so well and was full of great advice. He helped us with transport and he made our stay even more wonderful. Thank you Jonathan :)

    The location is stunning - the farmhouse is surrounded by mountains on 3 sides and the walk up to the restaurant / tasting rooms was beautiful. The service is personal as there are so few rooms and all staff are approachable and friendly, willing to help with any problem.

    Location was excellent, 5min out of Franschhoek, but with all the comfort and benefits of a farm stay. Cottage was well stocked with everything required for a short self-catering stay, and felt very luxurious compared to the price. Host was welcoming and could not have asked for a more romantic getaway to celebrate our anniversary.

    Great experience as a farm stay that's unlike the typical hotel. Room and bathroom were spacious, with thoughtful amenities all catered for. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The daily breakfast was excellent and the stay also comes with a complimentary wine tasting experience, which is a nice bonus.

    A magnificant, spacious villa in true farmhouse style! Perfectly manicured gardens wraps the spacious patio from where you have unspoilt views. Having a private chef was just perfect and we’ll definately do that again next time! Having fluffy robes is the room would have been a nice touch
