    “It was a beautiful location to stay in in Paarl. We were upgraded to a Terrace Suite which was a lovely surprise and spacious as we were staying 4 nights. The attention to detail was outstanding and the room was so beautifully decorated. We received a complimentary bottle of wine and a welcome cocktail and sweet treat in the room on arrival as it was my husband’s birthday. The breakfast options were excellent and it was served in a beautiful location with beautiful views at the hotel restaurant. Unfortunately we didn’t get to eat in the restaurant but we did have room service which was delicious. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom spacious. Very nice amenities in the bathroom too. On check out we also received two bottles of water presented in a lovely GR bag.”

  • Wonderful experience

    “We were greeted by name everywhere we went, as in Mr and Mrs. Vary polite staff and clearly know how to impress and provide a decorum befitting such an establishment. The room was in a converted barn type building, or old staff cottages, and consisted of 3 room. A bedroom, bathroom and a lounge. Complimentary bottle of wine was in the room on arrival. All meals were extra on the cost of the room and this doubled the overall cost of the stay. The food was fabulous especially the Spicy Mince for breakfast (3x I had that). The wine list was comprehensive with in house grape varieties that hit the spot. Whisky selection was the best we've seen anywhere from run of the mill Jamesons to McCallan 12 year. Check the list as some were £25 a shot! After checkout we we're allowed to leave the car and go walking in town before returning to kill some time in the bar area before heading for CPT airport. This is the place to go for some luxury at the end of a long road trip.”
