    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.

    It is a beautiful historic farmhouse/ mansion on the original grounds/plantation, with all the character & charm. Lots of room and spaces to relax and a beautiful pool-area. Corna & staff where very welcoming and friendly. And there was the delicious breakfast. The location was excellent in the unaltered and most beautiful part of the valley, with breathtaking mountain-views in all directions.

    it’s a beautiful farm stay, close enough to Franschoek to visit everything there but just far enough away to feel like a country side escape. wrapped in lavender bushes and zebra & Springbok grazing along the vineyards is a bonus. the natural pool area is lovely, plus we had the wood fired hottub (book that ahead of time) friendly chickens kept us company in our private back garden and a rooster made sure we knew it was morning. idyllic. more than you want.

    Beautiful very spacious and comfortable rooms. Its always a nice touch to have coffee machine and fresh milk in the room for the morning. The newly renovated bathrooms are great and ballroom size big. I loved the simple but elegant decor not aspirant and kitsch but Cape farmhouse quality. the staff were extremely sweet. The whole area is beautiful.

    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
