    Saying goodbye to Rafah 🥲

    Jane is so friendly & generous and her place is magical, in the forest with the most adorable dog called Rafah! Highly recommend this place. Close to everything in the area and the glasshouse itself is so beautiful and stocked with everything you need.

    Wonderful location. Beautifully decorated house. Very relaxing garden and pool. Super cute friendly dog who we were allowed to play with. Very generous with edible goodies, blankets, towels, lovely linen. We stayed there with our two children and found the house was perfect for us. We received a friendly reception. I would highly recommend.

    Wow...how about everything! As soon as we arrived, we wished we were staying for longer. The glasshouse is stunning, charming, cute and wonderfully located in the Stellenbosch valley. Jane's communication was exceptional from the start, she was so accommodating and helpful. The glasshouse has everything you might need, and more. Jane was also very sweet and provided lovely goodies and a bottle bottle of wine, which we enjoyed whilst we had our braii. The best night stay of our entire honeymoon.

    All was actually fine and in order, however small things to pay attention to, would be the towel freshness and a check on the bathroom fittings.

    We really enjoyed the location, and the experience of having all the beautiful surroundings visible from every position in the Glasshouse. The communication and extra ordinary support from check in to check out was excellent too.

    The tap in the bathroom. That’s it

    This place is very unique and we liked it so much. It’s in a little jungle of its own, with beef warm and welcoming staff, nice walks and being immersed in nature and vineyards. A great escape to nature at a very reasonable price. It’s for for one couple. Serene. Plus we had our own kitchen and lots of choices for making our own breakfast. Amazing! And we had some good talks with that interesting owner-manager.

    Rain Spiders but Clement took care of them!

    Great location, the Glasshouse is in a quiet area surrounded by nature but still close by the various Wine Estates in Stellenbosch. There is plenty of outdoor lounging space including a pool, access to a garden in the back and private field outside opposite the property. Great property to stay for a longer stay and larger groups. The house is spacious for two persons to stay and can host many more if the rest of your group are staying nearby. Property was very clean and the interior has a late 90's early 2000's decor but has been well maintained. The owner Jane and housekeeper Clement were very accommodating and gave helpful recommendations for things to do in the area. There is a friendly golden retriever named Rafa who guards the property for those who love dogs. It was a pleasure to meet them all as part of my stay.

    There are no words for this place besides PARADISE. This house is a hidden gem, with birds singing and feeling like living in a Rain forest. Jane is a caring and wonderful host. She offered so much food and even a great wine, so we had a great Breakfast from That and an evening snack. The kitchen has all Tools, so it was easy to cook a meal and enjoy the peaceful retreat instead of visiting crowded Restaurant. Too sad we booked only one night. We would have loved to stay and relax in this little paradise.
