Having been one of the originators of the Country House movement in the 1980's, Richard and Mouse then travelled overseas working and absorbing the 'foodie' world. Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse was opened - an intimate gourmet getaway.
The farmhouse offers warm mohair blankets and crisp cotton sheets.
There is a dining room as well as a fireplace in the lounge.
The farmhouse offers vegetables, freshly caught trout, local cheeses, homemade breads and fresh herbs.
It also offers a trout-filled dam.
You can choose the right wine from the underground wine cellar and prepare your senses for great tastes and flavours.
This is a great setting with splendid views of the mountains and crystal clear streams and waterfalls.
We are tucked away in the beautiful Kamberg valley close to Giant's Castle Nature Reserve. All the normal mountain pursuits such as swimming, walking and hiking are available.
Cleopatra is the ultimate in peace, tranquillity and solitude.
"Thank you for the most memorable stay. It is breathtaking, in every way, from the service, to the food, to the setting. Thank you, we will be back!"
"This was a return visit for us, and this time we brought friends with us! The staff are really good here and you feel very welcome to the hotel. The rooms are unique and quirky, but stylish and comfortable. The real reason to visit Cleopatra Mountain Farm is the food, which is superb! and excellent value for money. I look forward to going back to Cleopatra's soon. Another highlight was the helicopter flight from the gardens of the farm and up and over the berg."
"Excellent weekend retreat with a professional staff to ensure they would deliver your every need. We shall return once we have shed the kilograms from Richards gastronomique plates."
"The stay, food & hospitality was fantastic. "
"Excellent, second time around for us. Best breakfast in the world.!!!!"
"Excellent all round!"
"We were treated as royalty. Never tasted steak as excellently flavoured before. Would recommend to anyone that wants that "special breakaway" "
"Every thing i hoped for and more! food was amazing!"
"The first stay in our time in ZA was at the same time one of the most stunning ones.The six course evening menu really looks for any competitor worldwide. We both love gourmet dinners and ate lots of four star menus in the course of the last years in different countries,but THIS one was a real climax!The wine cellar an experience in itself(the huge Chateau Latour 1929 plate at the cellar-entrance may speak for itself....)The cottage was just sooo lovely, all equipped with love for every minute detail,like true British country-house style at its best.Coming back from our first dinner,the fireplace was already prepared and the fire spreading a cosy light in the living room.After a stroll in the morning light into the breathtaking nature with the pond, the mountains and hills around accompanied by a nice friendly alsatian, the breakfast buffet is accompanied by a two course morning menu....We met many beautiful places in ZA, but no start could have been better!certainly worth its money "
"An eating and relaxing experience not to be missed."
