There's a reason why all the reviews are 5 stars. All our expectations were met and exceeded. Willie and Michelle are inviting and warm and go far beyond what you would expect from hosts. The pindrop Willie sent via whatsapp the day before took us right to the front door. Check-in was easy, and our room (the double room family suite) was a dream! The finishes are high end, everything worked. Ample space for everything, and the beds were heavenly. We stayed during winter and dreaded a cold room, but the room was temperate and we slept warm and cozy. The hot water worked, and the suite has a shower and a huge beautiful bath tub. The plugs have both 2 and 3 prong sockets as well as usb! The wifi is also good. We stayed with a toddler, and the room was comfortable and safe for him without any fidgetty things he could break. We so wish the weather was warmer because the pool is mind blowing. There is also a terrace with a pizza bar and oven!! This is one of the oldest estates in the Western Cape, and Willie and Michelle are doing a fantastic job restoring its beauty. The gardens are lush and there are farm animals all over. My son enjoyed the horses, chickens, and peacocks! It is also right next door to monkey world, close to Gordons Bay, Sir Lourie Pass, and Somerset West. Lastly I'll mention the breakfast. Willie made such an effort with us, everything was fresh, delicious, and special. We missed out on the pizza though, but we will be back! Thank-you for the good coffee, wine, and mint tea!
