Great location for wine country stop

I had to book this place last minute and it was by far the best property we stayed at over the weekend. It was convenient to both Franschoek and Stellenbosch but also secluded to enjoy the scenery. The staff were accommodating, friendly and inviting. The cottage was comfortable, clean and spacious.

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely spectacular — our favorite stay in South Africa! This has been by far the most spectacular place we stayed during our trip to South Africa. The customer service was incredible — every member of the team at Boschendal Farms made us feel so welcome. Our kids loved the day camps at the Tree House. Andrea, the kids’ club director, is phenomenal. Our children couldn’t wait to go back each day! She taught them about farming, composting, how to pick fruit, and even led them on hikes. They had cooking lessons, horse riding, and so many hands-on experiences. We couldn’t have asked for a better family experience. Huge thanks to the entire Boschendal team — you made this unforgettable!

Fomos surpreendidos no check in com a informação que nosso quarto estava em reforma e eles tentaram no colocaram em um quarto que ficava do outro lado da avenida sem que perceberemos. Ficamos extremamente decepcionado se acabaram nos colocando em uma casa na área que não queríamos que não gostamos. Casa grande para uma família de quatro, banheiros com chuveiro fraco e sem bancada, casa com cheiro de mofo forte, precisando de reforma. O hotel em si e o atendimento sao ótimos, a nossa experiência que realmente achei inaceitável não avisarem previamente. Para se redimirem nos deram uma degustação, o que achei muito pouco pela situação. Decepcionante!

Boa opção para quem quer tranquilidade

Ficamos em um chalé com 2 quartos com banheiro, sala com lareira e cozinha completa. Fica dentro uma fazenda bem grande. Confortável mas já aviso que é necessário carro. Fica longe de tudo.

Nosso cotage era super completo, novo, funcional e roupas de cama e banho de primeira linha. Cafe da manha otimo.

Wir haben in einem wunderschönen Cottage übernachtet. Nebenan war gleich ein Pool zum relaxen. Die Restaurants, Weinproben und der Farmshop waren allerdings 2,5km entfernt. Waren, aber mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Das Abendessen im Werf Restaurant war super lecker, ebenfalls das enthaltene Frühstück am Morgen. Wir würden die Unterkunft bei einer erneuten Reise nach Südafrika wieder buchen.
