Beautiful rest in the country side

Very beautiful place with very welcoming owners. This break at the end of the working day was very relaxing. For Europeans not used to loadshedding, bring mosquito repellent to protect yourself from their arrival when the fan stops! This will not stop me from coming back each time I will visit Paarl. I will then also be able to dine at the restaurant, which I have heard so much about.

great stay BUT could be cleaner.

Margret, our host - was great. Super friendly and helpful. Overall, however - the place is visibly old and is in need of general cleaning (the inside of the room's toilet bowl was terribly stained) and just tidying.

Lovely,peaceful stay with friendly people

Lovely farm with horses, alpacas, geese, dogs and an ostrich. Great food at the restaurant. Breakfast good. Only hassle in our room was that it was a little noisy when there was a family with kids next door. Pool was very welcome, as it gets very hot in Wellington during Summer and Autumn.

Great base for winelands visit

We booked their "budget room" but it had a noisy person next to it. Our request for a change was granted immediately and we were upgraded to a lovely cottage at no extra charge for the 2 days we had booked. Very personable owner and staff, breakfast on the terrace of the wine farm's beautiful 18th C manor house. Stunning mountain and vineyard setting just out of Wellington, which is a good base for visiting Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch.

The shower door didn't deal and the drain didn't drain so water went everywhere and got everything wet! I only stayed one night instead of two and when I told the owner he simply said "it was fine yesterday".

Tranquil environment with fine dining restaurant

Stayed only 1 night at this lovely farm at the foot of Bains Kloof, with wonderful views of the pristine mountains, heritage buildings and a fine dining restaurant which serves excellent evening meals. The room was basic, but clean and comfortable and breakfast was served on a terrace overlooking the farmland which included lamas, guinea fowl, ostrich and pet dogs. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very good value for money and will definitely return.

A very pleasant and tranquil place to stay

We had a very nice stay. It was conveniently located opposite the road to where the wedding we were attending was (De Kleinevalleij). From the moment we were greeted to the moment we left, we were treated very well and felt at home. The room was comfortable, the manor house is old and therefore beautiful. The farm is well kept and so tranquil. This is a beautiful place to stay. For the record, I am not in to staying on farms, but for those who are similar in that sense, you have nothing to worry about here. The place is safe, everything works (you have running water, no creaky floors, no spiders, there is heating in the rooms) and it isn't far from town. I can recommend this place!
