Charming guest cottages in the middle of an olive farm. Very friendly hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quiet scenic location.

Very neat unit, very quiet, ideal for those who just want to get away from the city. Very nice indeed! Very peaceful atmosphere.

Baie netjiese eenheid, baie rustig, ideaal vir die wat net wil wegbreek uit die stad. Baie lekker inderdaad! Baie rustige atmosfeer.

Disappointing due to the fact that there was no water and TV (no channels). Highly disappointed in the fact that when we arrived there was no water to take a shower and get ready. I especially left home early to get ready at the venue. The next morning when we woke up, can you believe no water to shower again and the TV did not connect to any channels. We left the guesthouse at 7am due to this. What a waste of money and time.

Dear Lerisha, I'd like to address your issues with our water supply during load shedding. While I understand its impact, it's crucial to use water responsibly. Unfortunately, multiple taps and the shower were left open by yourself, resulting in flooding and financial damage to our newly renovated cottage. Plus flooding the neighbouring guests resulting in spoiling their experience and once again financial damage. I do realize that your earlier departure may have been influenced by that. Also, regarding the TV, it did work prior your check-in and after your check-out, we specifically checked it. It’s Open View. Best regards, Anastasia

Liewe Lerisha, Ek wil graag u probleme met ons watertoevoer tydens beurtkrag aanspreek. Alhoewel ek die impak daarvan verstaan, is dit van kardinale belang om water verantwoordelik te gebruik. Ongelukkig is verskeie krane en die stort self oopgelaat, wat gelei het tot oorstromings en finansiële skade aan ons nuut opgeknapte kothuis. Plus die oorstroming van die naburige gaste wat lei tot bederf van hul ervaring en weereens finansiële skade. Ek besef wel dat jou vroeëre vertrek dalk daardeur beïnvloed is. Wat die TV betref, het dit ook gewerk voor jou inklok en na jou uitklok het ons dit spesifiek nagegaan. Dit is Oop Aansig. Beste wense, Anastasia

The environment is very beautiful. We understand we booked at the last minute. But they were not at all prepared for our arrival. No toilet paper, no toilet spray, no hand soap or any shower gel. No shower mat. Shower head was broken and sprayed over the side over the shower glass wall. Kitchen utensils were very few - 1 teaspoon, no dessert spoon, no bread knife. Didn't they inform us that loadshedding would start at 20h00 and that they would then have no water either. Water never arrived again because the pump, and when they got it right the next morning, the water tank was empty too. WiFi was not available at first, the router was in another cottage, and then later the reception was very poor.

Die omgewing is baie mooi. Ons verstaan ons het op die nippertjie bespreek. Maar hulle was glad nie voorbereid op ons koms nie. Geen toiletpapier, geen toiletspray, geen handeseep of enige showergel nie. Geen stortmatjie. Stortkop was stukkend en het oor die kant uitgespuit oor die stortglasmuur. Kombuisgereedskap was baie min - 1 teelepel, geen dessertlepel, geen broodmes nie. Het ons nie verwittig dat loadshedding om 20h00 sou begin nie en dat hulle dan geen water ook sal hê nie. Water het nooit weer aangekom nie a.g.v. die pomp, en toe hulle dit die volgende oggend reggekry het, was die watertenk ook leeg. WiFi was aanvanklik nie beskikbaar nie, die router was in 'n ander kothuis, en toe later was die opvangs baie swak.

Lovely and peaceful. Nice big open garden area and pool to cool off in. Room more than big enough with necessary amenities.

The location was close to where we wanted to be. As a self-catering accommodation, you would expect there to be a minimum in the kitchen to self-cater. There was one coffee mug and 2 tea cups. There was only a very small pot, I had to ask for a frying pan which I was provided on request. There was no chopping board or sharp knife for cutting. We were not informed that they have no running water during loadshedding would have been nice to know as the toilets did not work during load shedding. Although all surfaces were clean and the linen was fresh, the apartment had cobwebs making you think it's not cleaned regularly. Otherwise, it's peaceful and the hosts were very accommodating letting our friends check in early the next morning.

Nice view, but not ideal location. 2 out of the 4 mornings no water, alarms ringing all night. We confirmed ahead of time that we were taking 2 teenagers with us and there was only one extra double bed mattress on the floor in the living room, no beds for children even though it is advertised as a family cottage. Not an easily accessible location if you need to move back and forth from Paarl. Difficult to reach the gate first time, not clear signs.

Mooi uitsig, maar nie ideale ligging. 2 uit die 4 oggende nie water gehad, alarms lui knaend die hele nag. Ons het voor die tyd bevestig dat ons 2 tieners saamneem en daar was slegs een ekstra dubbelbedmatras op die vloer in sitkamer, geen beddens vir kinders alhoewel dit as family cottage geadverteer word. Nie 'n maklik bereikbare ligging indien jy moet heen en weer beweeg vanuit Paarl. Moeilik om eerste keer die hek te bereik, nie duidelike borde.

We are very sorry you did not have the best experience on our Farm. The water pump and alarm were unfortunate due to loadshedding which is bothering the whole nation at the moment. It says on all our booking sights that the family cottage has a fold-out couch and or mattress. With one large chamber and extra large bed. We hope we can offer you a better experience next time.

Ons baie jammer u het nie beste ervaring op ons Plaas gehad nie. Die water pomp en alarm was ongelukig a.g.v loadshedding wat die hele nasie pla op die oomblik. Dit se op al ons booking sights dat die family cottage 'n oopslaan bank en of matras het. Met een groot kammer en ekstra groot bed. Ons hoop on volgende keer vir u n beter ervaaring kan aanbied.
