Relaxing, comfortable, spacious, safe and remote. We had such a lovely weekend at Excelsior Farm. We are an extended family with 14 adults and 1 small child. We found the house to be spacious enough for all of us to sleep comfortably. It was very hot, so the aircon in the rooms was such a luxury to have. We had a fantastic Saturday at the pool which was not too deep and big enough for all of us to splash around. The kitchen was nice and big and the dishwasher was a lifesaver. The braai area and pool are lovely spaces where we all could hang out and play our games together. The lawn was large enough that we could set up net plays and kick a ball around. We bothered Lizce a few times but she was so helpful and patient with us. Excellent hospitality and memories we will never forget!

It was very nice and homey. The place so nice and big you'll get confused about where your rooms are. It's nice and spacious. The braai area was our fav spot. We enjoyed the pool it wasn't too cold. It was very nice we are surely going back again.

It was absolutely heavenly. The silence and the nature stand out above everything. Wish I could stay longer. Thank you so much Lizce for the lovely experience.

Dit was absoluut hemels. Die stilte en die natuur staan bo alles uit. Wens ek kon langer bly. Baie dankie Lizce vir die lieflike ervaring.

We had a wonderful time. Excelsior is a beautiful farm and the house is large and spacious, which makes it ideal for a large group. It's the perfect break from the city noise and also ideal for families with children to run around to their heart's content. Thanks also to the hostess for the good service.

Ons het ‘n wonderlike tyd gehad. Excelsior is ‘n mooi plaas en die huis is groot en ruim, wat dit ideaal maak vir ‘n groot groep. Dis die perfekte wegbreek van die stadslawaai en ook ideaal vir gesinne met kinders om na hartelus rond te hardloop. Dankie ook aan die gasvrou vir die goeie diens.

It was amazing. I loved that the owners was very helpful but not on your neck all the time. It's great for a big group of people and you can make as much noise as you want.

Excellent service, great accommodation. A tranquil experience for city go-ers. We loved just being able to chat, laugh and relax with friends. Lovely atmosphere, fresh air and beautiful surroundings. We loved our stay which was an hour and half drive from Durbanville. Thank you.

Uitstekende diens, heerlike verblyf. 'n Rustige ervaring vir stadsjapies. Ons het heerlike gesels, gelag en ontspan saam met ons vriende. Lieflike atmosfeer, vars lug en mooi omgewing. Ons het baie lekker gebly en dis net 'n uur en 'n half se ry vanaf Durbanville. Dankie.

Absolutely awesome. Wow, what a wonderful guest farm! Well situated for peace and tranquility. House is well-equipped and air-cons most welcome in the scorching weather. Owner really went out her way to make us feel welcome. Will highly recommend.

Absoluut asemrowend. Wow, wat 'n wonderlike gasteplaas! Goed geleë vir vrede en rustigheid. Huis is goed toegerus en lugversorging is baie lekker in die skrikwekkende weer. Eienaar het regtig uit sy pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel. Sal sterk aanbeveel.

Disappointing! They were clearly not prepared for us. The kitchen was cramped, but had everything needed, except kettle and water! Mosquito/fly screen in caravan completely out! Road to ablution facilities still under construction! Security not to our liking - we were all alone on the farm on the first night. Second night better as there were a few other families in the farmhouse! Nearest neighbors will certainly not be able to hear screams or commotion and no indication of an emergency number available! Overall very disappointing. Definitely not worth the money paid!

Teleurstellend! Hulle was duidelik nie voorbereid vir ons nie. Die kombuisie was beknop, maar als wat benodig gehad het, behalwe ketel en water! Muskiet-/vlieë-sif in karavaan geheel uit! Pad na ablusiegeriewe nog onder konstruksie! Sekuriteit nie na wense nie - ons was stoksielalleen op die plaas op die eerste aand. Tweede aand beter aangesien daar paar ander gesinne in die plaashuis was! Naaste bure sal beslis nie gille of rumoer kon hoor en geen aanduiding van nood nommer beskikbaar nie! Oor geheel baie teleurstellend. Definitief nie die geld werd wat betaal nie!

Good day Mr Beaton, We are still sorry you were disappointed with the accommodation, even after all our discussions before your arrival, with photos, aerial photos and explanation that it is still a project in the making and to make sure you want to continue with the booking. As far as the kitchen goes. It's still camping, so the idea is a cupboard with everything needed to make life more comfortable while still living in a caravan. There will be no running water, there is a tap right next to the caravan. Regarding the security on a farm, 99% of my clients feel that the fact that they are away from everyone and everything is the attraction. That you feel we were not ready for you may have been because you asked to be closer to the bathrooms upon arrival, after which we quickly dusted another larger caravan and changed the bed linen to meet your wishes, without additional costs . Despite all this, it is still not nice for us to know that guests were not satisfied, and I would like to make it up in a way if you wanted to stay one weekend in the guest house, with air conditioning, an oversized kitchen and enough rooms, bathrooms and a slightly more established garden. Note that you may very well be alone on the farm again. I would love to hear from you regards

Goeie dag Mnr Beaton, Ons is wel steeds jammer jul was teleurgesteld met die verblyf, selfs na al ons gesprekke voor jul aankoms, met fotos, lugfotos en verduideliking dat dit steeds n projek in wording is en om seker te maak jul wil voortgaan met die bespreking. Sover die kombuis aangaan. Dit is steeds kampering, so die idee is 'n kas met als wat nodig is om die lewe gemakliker te maak terwyl jy steeds in 'n karavaan te bly. Daar gaan nie lopende water aangele word nie, daar is 'n kraan net langs die karavaan. Aangaande die sekuriteit op n plaas, 99% van my kliente voel juis die feit dat hul weg van almal en als is, is die trekpleister. Dat jul voel ons nie gereed was vir jul nie, was dalk aangesien jul met aankoms gevra het om nader aan die badkamers te wees, waarna ons n ander grooter karavaan gou afgestof het en beddegoed oorgetrek het om in jul wense te voldoen, sonder additionele kostes. Tenspyte van dit als is dit steeds nie vir ons lekker om te weet dat gaste nie tevrede was nie, en sal ek graag sou wou opmaak op n manier sou jul een naweek wou oorbly in die gastehuis, met lugversorging, 'n oorgroot kombuis en genoeg kamers, badkamers en n effe meer gevestigde tuin. Let wel jul kan heel moontlik weer alleen op die plaas wees. Ek hoor graag van jul Groete

Wonderful location and good value for money. Porterville offers the opportunity to escape the busy city life and enjoy time with family and friends.

Wonderlike ligging en goeie waarde vir geld. Poterville bied 'n geleentheid om lekker van die besige stad lewe te ontsnap en dit te geniet met jou vriende en familie.
