superleuke locatie, je komt helemaal tot rust

omgeving, prachtig gedaan, mooi zwembad, uitzicht

load shedding dus niets kunnen opladen vooraleer we vertrokken, veel insecten in huis hetgeen moeilijk te vermijden is op de buiten

Super friendly staff and top location, felt like a home away from home.

Stunning surroundings, views and ambience. Great spacious apartment overall with top location situated between Stellenbosch/Franschhoek yet private and quiet.

Heerlijk verblijf

Ruim appartement met een mooie stijl. Heerlijk rustig terrein met mooi zwembad (zonder chloor). Verder een leuke speeltuin en een riviertje. Bij aankomst lag er een vers brood, eieren en boter waar je een heerlijk ontbijtje van kan maken. Perfecte ligging om verschillende wijnvelden te bezoeken, locatie ligt mooi centraal tussen Franschhoek en Stellenbosch.

Het dak is voorzien van plaatmateriaal wat bij veel wind lawaai kan geven.

I can’t wait to come back for a longer stay and to be able to enjoy all that it has to offer

Beautiful space. Attention to detail in the design of the room.

Wasn’t sure where to find staff but in fairness I didn’t take the longest walk around the property and I was only there a night

Pleasant

Pleasant location

The access with various different codes to have to put in, you had to get out of your car in the rain, does not work for a single person - I was not advised that the river had broken its banks which meant access was 15 minutes out of the way- there and back, had I been advised. I would have found alternative accommodation as I was there for a conference which meant getting back between events made this a challenge. Together with this and 3 different codes with access to key pads where you had to get out of your car to access key pads caused me frustration, I had expected rusks as advertised but was told when asked supplier had not delivered and owners had not purchased rusks in town, which would have been easy to do, that added to my annoyance. Would be a perfect place for a family a romantic getaway to go too or a yoga retreat. For me not ideal for a conference but others will love it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Just a pity about the few minor inconveniences.

We stayed for two nights. The property was very close to Franschhoek. It was quiet and relaxing. There was a wonderful outdoor shower and bath. We ended up leaving some books behind and our hosts very kindly offered to mail the books back us. For that we were very grateful.

There was a problem with the WIFI so we effectively had no WIFI for the duration of our stay. The outdoor shower and bath had no working hot water so we couldn’t use it which was a pity. The sliding door linking the bedroom to the outside veranda has no key, so we couldn’t use it, which again was a pity.

Perfect for a winter stay in Franshoek

The double room cottage, was a cosy haven from the cold and rainy winter day. The little fire place kept us warm and the fresh bread, butter, eggs, hot chocolate and milk was such a wonderful surprise. Thanks! Even the extra outside bath was an experience in the rain. Loved the chickens visiting us in the morning. Would def love to come visit again in the summer.

The sound travels easily through the walls/cottages and we could hear our neighbours conversations

What a surprise find. Lots of peace and quiet and such a lovely cottage. Will be back.

Loved the location, peace and quiet and the feeling of calm. Nice touch of complimentary fresh bread, eggs and some kombucha. Real farm experience and literally 'in' nature.

Nothing really.

Ideal for eco retreat but not a good hub for sightseeing with small children

Serenity. Eco friendly, no load shedding. Great play area

Access - car required to cross a shallow river. Ubers are reluctant and if they don’t cancel, they need the detailed instructions how to find you. Thin roofs, you hear every animal scampering around or branch scraping it like a drum.

Stunning location and facilities. An awesome experience.

Stunning location with beautiful views, gardens and facilities. Very quiet and peaceful and the perfect setting for a getaway while still being close enough to Franschhoek. I appreciated the eco friendly and off grid approach that is followed at The Farmstead. Thank you for a lovely stay. Highly recommended.

If you have a low rise vehicle that cannot clear the low water bridge you have to access from another gate along a dirt road which then takes quite some time to get to The Farmstead. We were told about this beforehand but were not quite prepared, so maybe just check before booking so that you can take the additional travel time into account.

Lovely building with great decoration.

Wonderful large house perfect for a large family stay. Lovely garden and views. Good position to enjoy Franschhoek. Enjoyed the use of the pool and my daughter took part in a yoga class in the morning.

Beautiful and Charming Farmstead Stay (Ensure you consider transport).

Stunning setting! Even though we were unfortunate with the weather, still had incredible views over the surrounding mountains, and the property is very well designed. The staff are great, and there was a lovely welcome hamper on arrival.

There were no negatives with the property itself. (Guests should just be aware that there is a road that goes through a river to get to the property (depth 20-30cm), and so this would be unsuitable for some cars to drive through - indeed most Uber drivers will not attempt to cross this, so you may end up having to cross this yourself barefoot - though this was all part of the experience, and only another 50m to walk to the farmstead! Additionally many Uber drivers will be reluctant to come pick up from the property in the first place given it is off the main road (though I understand there is a backroad suitable for lower vehicles which is a long detour). Ensure that you either have a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get there, or your transfer is 4 wheel drive - the host kindly provided details for drivers. Ideally I would bring my own 4 wheel drive rental next time I come back).

Nice but read reviews so you know what to expect.

Nice property, good location, wonderful fresh flowers everywhere. Nice design. Yoga on site.

No fan in second bedroom which is absolutely necessary in summer. Cottages are connected and not soundproof. All comms via what’s app, feels all a bit impersonal. No comfi couch in or outside. Pool not clean. Families with small kids.
