    Very affordable farm stay within the Stellenbosch vineyards! Really good value for money! Decent sized rooms, reliable wifi. The gardens are also very beautiful - our children loved roaming around in them, discovering new paths and playparks!

    Great environment and experience on a farm. The vine cottage is amazing! Its basic but that’s its charm! We played tennis and enjoyed the pool.

    It’s a rustic setup with Cape Dutch architecture. The pool is beautiful and welcome reprieve from the heat. Though we didn’t use the tennis courts - they looked extraordinary. We were also graciously accommodated with late check out as I was...
