Everything was perfect!
Pros:

The stay was perfect. The Kleinriver is absolutely magnificent. And so is Springfontein. It is a working farm, producing some really (!) great wines. But also their hospitality is top notch. Coming back soon.

Cons:

A short drive to the breakfast venue.

Pretty good, springfontein has a really unpretentious genuine atmosphere
Pros:

Wonderful location on river. So peaceful.

Cons:

Our room was quite dark, not enough lights, could do with bedside lamp on both sides of the bed.

Only other thing could be better is loos and changing near the pool…

Fabulous!

Fabulous getaway on a lovely wine estate. Rooms are very comfortable - we got an upgrade with a super river view. On site restaurants and wine bars - we did the tasting menu at Wortelgat which is not to be missed if you like food and wine!

We enjoyed our stay. We do however feel that room rate was quite expensive.
Pros:

The views are spectacular. The room was spacious.

Cons:

The rate for accommodation is quite steep for the area and what is offered in terms of the room and breakfast doesn't support the rate.

Underbart läge i naturen
Pros:

Trevligt ställe med eleganta rum nära naturen. Väldigt fina rum, uteplats, bra pressa sitt egna kaffe på morgonen och bara sitta njuta av naturen. Fint poolområde- härligt kunna simma ordentligt. Tyvärr var flodturen fullbokad så vi kom aldrig ut på det. God mat och trevlig vinprovning. Trevligt kunna åka in till Stanford och äta också.

Cons:

Vi hade verkligen uppskattat AC- det var väldigt varmt och för det pris man betalar så räknar man med att även AC finns.
