The estate is perfectly situated in the middle of vineyards and orchards. We had a beautiful view of the mountains from our stoep which also faced a pergola with picnic table and pool. We enjoyed panoramic views of the mountain ranges during our walks around the farm on days when we weren't hiking or visiting nearby wine estates. They The staff prepared our fire place with wood so that we could enjoy an evening with wine, food and friends on our private stoep as well. The common areas are charming and perfectly manicured. Every member of the staff was friendly and eager to make our stay comfortable. The restaurant was warm and inviting with a warm fire on cold rainy days, and open and airy on sunny days. The food service staff was attentive and the food was perfectly prepared. The menu is limited, but it would meet anyone's taste or dietary restrictions. The chef was flexible with our requests. We even purchased delicious guava preserves to bring home. We will certainly be staying with them again if we are lucky enough to journey back to the beautiful wine country of South Africa.

Beautiful property but stable rooms are loud

Beautiful estate with a pool to-die-for. Nice breakfast, but no vegan options...I had written the owners with questions ahead of time, but never received a response. And while the stable rooms are large, the walls are paper-thin and you can hear your neighbors (tv, conversations, blowing noses.)

tour or crash

Good location on the edge of Paarl though a bit tricky to find. We thought the rooms were a bit more basic than we expected and not changing towels at all during a 3 night stay seemed taking the ecological perspective to extremes. However this is a good base for touring the area or going on some of the organised trips on offer or just crashing out around the pool. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Evening meals can be arranged and are worth it unless you are eating out at one of the top restaurants in the area. Overall a good place to spend some time.

Tolle Zimmer, sehr freundliche Besitzer und Personal. Nur der Service beim Essen hatte etwas gelitten. Das gleich bei zwei unabhängigen Bestellungen diese jeweils vergessen worden sind, war schon ärgerlich. Dennoch eine ganz tolle Unterkunft. Wenn ich mit der Familie mal wiederkomme, dann buche ich gern wieder hier. Danke nochmals für den tollen Aufenthalt.

Our favorite in Paarl

This place is a favorite of ours, and we keep on returning. You are well taken care of by the staff and owners, the grounds are very beautiful and the it is a quiet oasis.

It is easy to get an uber to explore some of the stunning restaurants and vineyards close by. If you want to stay at the hotel all day, they offer great food as well upon requsest

Familjedrivet B&B på en Guava farm. Vänlig tillmötesgående personal och informativ service.

Om få gäster kan det inte alltid serveras middag men de löser det också med en fatastisk ostbricka.

En pärla i Paarl

Underbart boende på fruktodlingsgård från 1698. Byggnationen genuin och trivsam med hög klass på våtutrymmen. Gårdscentrum är omgivet av stora mycket gamla lövträd. Den mycket sympatiska African/holländska familjen odlar 3500 st guawaträd vars frukt pressas till juice.

Wohltuende Oase der Ruhe

Ich wohnte in einem der \"stables\", fühlte mich wirklich \"zu Hause\", mit Patio. Die Umgebung war sehr gepflegt, der Frühstück- und Essbereich umgeben von Bäumen und blühenden Sträuchern, sehr angenehm und relaxt. Am Abend wird ein Essen (Vorspeise, Hauptgang, Dessert) angeboten, für das man sich anmelden kann. Habe ich an einem meiner zwei Abende gemacht: liebevoll, lecker, hübsch präsentiert - und vor allem waren die Portionen ideal, absolut ausreichend, aber keine überladenen Teller, wo man mit schlechtem Gewissen dann die Hälfte zurücklassen muss (oder sich überisst). Habe auch die Athmosphäre sehr geschätzt.
Sehr gerne wieder einmal.

Cosy stay in Paarl

We were planning to stay for only one night but the place, food and lovely company made us stay another night as well. This is a perfect spot for hanging around the pool, kick back and take it nice and easy. Lovely dinner in the evening and afterwards the gathering by the fire with the host and other guests was icing on the cake for us. Its a good size pool, nice and clean rooms and very safe. As a bonus we actually got our car washed before we left.

A recommendation would be not to stay at the stables in feb, march because there is a huge oak tree dropping stuff and the sound when it hit the roof is very loud. But otherwise a really great place. Wi-Fi works everywhere.
