We're a family of three from Stockholm, Sweden who stayed at the Majuba Farm for three months from January to April 2016. I was on a maternity leave with our baby daughter and my husband did some freelance work.

Where do we begin when describing our time at Majuba...

It was simply amazing!

Starting with the practical; the house, the interior and the surroundings are really great! Even better then the pictures shown. The location of the farm is truly spectacular with a fantastic view where you get to enjoy wonderful sunsets over False Bay and Table Mountain (yes, you see Table Mountain from there!) The pool area is great with a big nice pool and sunbeds and in the pool house you have access to a toilet, a shower, and a changing room. There's also an area where you can barbecue (or as the south africans say; braai!) and dine next to it and enjoy the wonderful surroundings and beautiful and well managed garden.

Describing the house and unit 1. The guesthouse is a large house that is divided into two apartments. We actually started our visit in unit 2 where we stayed for about a month before moving into unit 1. Why we moved is because our baby daughter started crawling and we wanted to avoid the stairs in unit 2, otherwise that unit is great as well!

Somerset West is the best location to explore the Western Cape. All the vineyards are just around the corner, the closest one is actually just across the road! It's a 10 minute drive to picturesque Stellenbosch, 20 minutes to the airport and about 35 minutes to Cape Town. That's just great!

Finally; what made our visit in South Africa so special was the Taljard family. They're just the best! Whenever we wanted to ask them what to see or explore, they gave us the best advices and suggested to so many great places to visit that we wouldn't had found without them. It's a warm and welcoming family that always do their utmost to make their guests feel comfortable. They always did that little extra that made our South Africa visit unforgettable.

Some of our family and friends from Sweden came to visit us and they were all truly amazed by the Majuba Farm the Taljard family. They were all serious with if returning to South Africa the Majuba Farm would be their first option to stay at again. Just as we think.

The guesthouse at the Majuba Farm is a piece of paradise on earth!
