Beautiful scenery, newly renovated rooms, excellent food and good for peace and quiet
Nothing not to like! Everything you’d expect from a 5 star establishment.
Staff wise;we did however ask for an early check in and they wouldn’t have us check in a minute earlier than 2pm.
Also, while we waited for check in , it would have been nice for the staff to have offered us activities to do on the farm. We weren’t sure where to go / what to do. A map of the premise / farm would have been nice.

Absolutely everything. The people who work there are so friendly, helpful, and professional. The decor is comfy and elegant, home away from home. The food is exquisite!!!
That I had to leave, I could live there forever and would feel complete.

This is really a big spoil and the staff is incredible. It included an amazing breakfast and we did the 4 course meal, which was an incredible experience
Road to get to the location. Full of constant potholes

Such an extraordinary property with incredible staff. The rooms were large and modern with old world charm. The food was phenomenal and dinner is conducted as a six or four course tasting menu. The staff were attentive throughout and went so far as to give us a call in the afternoon to ensure we had arrived home safe. I mean talk about going above and beyond!

The level of attention to detail is astounding. Beautiful rooms and gardens, with the loveliest staff who really go above and beyond to accommodate guests.
Chef Justin, Pinky, Sibusiso and Thenjiwe were just amazing.

We visited Hartford for our last couples holiday before we have our first baby, and it did not disappoint! Chef Justin and Mandisi took care of us for most of our stay, and made it so special. Loads of attention to detail, special accommodations, and making the extra effort to make it the most luxurious trip.
We ate so well, we were absolutely spoiled. The rooms are beautiful, the grounds are gorgeous, and the overall atmosphere was so welcoming. Would highly recommend a visit!

We did not like going home and wil definitely be back.

roadworks to the farm needs serious attention

To even lift this experience to the next level the staff could have shown more personal interest rather than just being polite.
5.0
The breakfast was good. Beautiful muffins and scones.
The lounge was beautifully refurbished and the fires were a welcome treat during the cold weather.
It was good to meet the owner - an interesting and pleasant personal touch.
The service was a little slow at breakfast with staff not as friendly and welcoming as in the evenings.
