  "The Friendly owners, made our stay worthwhile. Comfortable, Bedrooms. Will recommend to friends and family to overnight, should they want to do their journey in stages, or for a weekend break away from the Hustle and Bustle of Cape Town. Breakfast was a Treat !!! Beautiful layout of the Gardens, sparkling pool, lots of Deck Chairs and Benches to unwind, enjoy the view or read a book, or socialize."

• "Disappointing"

  21 December 2015

  "we arrived late &amp; with great expectations, but rooms dark &amp; cheaply decorated. Breakfast was meagre and our hosts were rather abrupt and not welcoming especially when we asked for a table for 7 as we were a large family groupi.even a request for poached eggs was refused! I would not recommend this place as there are much nicer ones and kinder hosts for sure.the best thing about this place was the pool area.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>"

  "Booked here on a whim, not expecting much, and was blown away! Had a fantastic stay for three nights, good breakfast in the mornings, nicely decorated place; but the best parts were the gorgeous well cared for garden (including pool) and friendly hosts. Decent room with all the expected amenities; comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Highly recommended!"
