"Stayed for one night with my boyfriend as a stopover between Sutherland and Cape Town, and honestly wish we’d booked two. Despite booking very last minute, Evelyn made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived with a glass of champagne. The property is beautifully curated; every piece of furniture and decor feels intentional, giving the whole place a boutique, high-end atmosphere. We had our own parking space right outside our suite, which was a nice touch. The suite itself genuinely exceeded expectations: four poster bed, in-room sauna, and a jacuzzi bath made it feel like a mini retreat. The infinity pool area is stunning, with loungers and daybeds spread around and panoramic views of the Montagu mountains. We headed into town for dinner on the owners’ recommendation and ended the night with a glass of wine in the bar back at the hotel. The bed was incredibly comfortable; had one of the best sleeps of the trip, and breakfast the next morning was excellent. If we were doing it again, we would definitely stay two nights to make time for the pool and the spa facilities. Highly recommend this place."

"Absolute gem. Hospitaly in different class. Owners hand on and make your stay a great experience. Beautiful garden and grounds. Breakfast divine. Cannot be faulted at all. "

"Everything was just phenomenal Thank you"

"Wonderful glamping, location, facilities, accommodation. "

"Amazing night spent here, and we will definitely visit again. Thank you for the upgrade, always-friendly service & letting us stay on site for a while to work remotely. Also, we loved our feline sentry on site... felt like Royalty being protected by Kitty ! 😺 😻"

"There was a mixup with the room we had booked, so were given another room which was just as nice, room 5. It was adjacent to the breakfast room however, so if you like to sleep in, maybe not the room for you. The room was beautifully decorated, clean, large and very comfortable. Very private until the breakfast time happens at 8 am. Breakfast was delicious. The only complaint was the hot water shower pressure was pretty weak. We brought that to the attention of the owner and she said they would address the problem. The property is beautiful and close to town. I would recommend staying there to anyone. "

"Lovely expansive gardens. Large accommodation. Very friendly staff - excellent food."
