Beautiful Stay
Pros:

The establishment was close to to Tulbagh, but out on a farm which gave it a country feel. Lovely spacious room. The room was well equipped. Beautiful views from the farm. The personalised olive oil from the farm to buy was a nice touch to remember our stay. We only stayed one night but we will be back.

Cons:

All good

Excellent retreat to rest.
Pros:

Liked the Kol Kol wood fired hot spa. Also the wood fired heater inside the unit. The bed was large and very comfortable. Liked the breakfast.

Cons:

Just a suggestion. Please check with Kim about good restaurants in the area. Some look very smart but do not provide good food in the off season (winter).

Pros:

We had 2 brilliant cosy winter nights at Duikersdrift with my 2 small kids. Farm was perfect for some short bike rides and walks to feed the adorable donkeys and to look at the cows - cute play area too. It was too cold for the lovely looking swimming pool and hot tub (it rained) but we hope to use them next time. Kim and Justin were super accommodating and communicative and friendly. The meal add-ons were lovely as well. Brilliantly located close to town but close to other wine farms. AC very helpful in the icy winter mornings. Highly reccommend.

Cons:

Helpful/friendly suggestion: A few more items of crockery would be helpful for preparing food and eating - had to do lots of washing up!

Incredible stay at Duikersdrift - we cant wait to be back!!
Pros:

We were back after 8 years to stay at Duikersdrift and loved seeing the growth of the trees and plants around the cottages. They are still as fabulous as ever with the indoor fireplace, aircon and new addition of the kitchenette. The beds are amazing, i almost couldn't get up in the morning because they are so comfortable! Lovely breakfast delivered to our room each morning, including fresh bread, quiche, yogurt and fruit, granola, cheese and ham, fresh juice and milk!! We loved setting up our table outside and enjoying the view while eating. The Kolkols were just the cherry on the top. Late night stargazing and conversations over wine are so much better when sitting in the hot tubs.
Thank you to Kim and Justin for being so accommodating and kind before and during our stay.
We cant wait to come back!!

Cons:

N/A everything was really perfect
