Positive: Our hosts, Kobus and Elmare were super friendly and welcoming. The accommodation in the old carriage house was large and well equipped. The pool area and views towards the Swartberg were stunning. The jewel in the crown was the superb food served at dinner, and the friendly dogs were a lot of fun.
Summary: Luxury in a farm setting
