kitchen utensils were scanty. Nothing to use when making a braai, like a suitable metal dish and lid, tongs for meat and coals not available, internet quality was bad, not very available the interior looked tired the outside of most of the buildings need attention as do the grounds few arrangements made for load shedding , only 1 globe was of the kind that came on when load shedding. Had to ask for torches, only got 2 for 4 people

staff were very helpful. spacious accommodation, fireplace was welcomed

The Ballroom Cottage has a large, beautiful wild garden at the back, fully enclosed for the dogs (which is fantastic for us), however the grass is very long, which makes it difficult to enjoy properly and also my 2 little Chihuahuas could barely find their way around as they couldn't see over the grass! I would recommend that the top part of the garden (coming up to the stairs) is mowed regularly and kept as a nice lawn, with a table and chairs to sit at and then the bottom half of the garden can be left wild, as it is really beautiful in its untouched state. Also, the main farmhouse needs some painting and "refreshing" on the outside, as it looks a bit unloved. Spasie did mention that they would be busy with this project soon, which I was happy to hear, as it would be great to see this magnificent farmhouse restored to its former glory.

Beautiful historic farm house and grounds in a fantastic location, close to all the wine farms and a short drive to Franschoek and Stellenbosch. The Ballroom Cottage is absolutely gorgeous, with large rooms, beautiful wooden floors and antique, original finishes. Full of character and history. Spasie, the host, was so friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our stay and would have loved to have stayed longer.

Far away from Franshoek (14km). You have to prepare your own breakfast in an historic kitchen. But there are lots of nice cafés in Franshoek.

There are pigs in the grounds which are adorable. We did notice that they are painfully thin which left me concerned for their welfare. The shower in the Garden Room is little more than a dribble. We did report this so hopefully its fixed.

This was my second stay at Lekkerwijn. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place. It really is like staying in a private home but not in an intrusive way.

Such an extraordinary value for money! Quiet, beautiful, secure, next door to a lot of vineyards If you are on the budget don’t look anywhere else, you won’t find a better place

The property was not true to the pictures - I was concerned about the security and safety as it is not fenced, and I arrived back late at night alone. The room I booked on Booking. Com was not the room I got. I booked a self-catering room with a patio, I got neither. My room was part of the manor house. This was very disappointing. There seems to be a discrepancy between what appears on the website and what Lekkerwijn Historical house actually has. The water did not flow out of the shower, the drain was blocked.

The staff were helpful

It was very run down, shower tiles missing, shower rail rusted with old shower curtain, kitchen very limited, oven tray dirty inside , grounds unkept, windows incredibly dusty en dirty, plugs and wires every where. No dustbins in room, bathroom door had no lock , towels had stains on, all in all the place needs a lot of work and a lot of TLC but has so much potential. Loved the dogs roaming around , very friendly , but poo needs to be picked up. Swimming pool was dirty so we didn’t use it.

Location only because it was close to wedding venue

we asked for a Weber and we got one that was dirty. our sheets had holes in them the kitchen utensil was poor and there was only one teaspoon. the shower hand loos tiles and mold on the tiles the grass around the property was un cut although the garden was in full bloom.

I was very disappointed. it is a beautiful property but it is unkept and very run down.

Easy to find during the day, but the food delivery guy could not find it in the evening.

Amazing historic house right in the centre of the South African wine area. You really smell the old oak in the history of this very well mentained house. I had a great conversations with the host, she is a lovely woman. Telling me stories of the history and preparing a small early breakfast. Would definitely love to stay here again and highly recommend it!

Book out time at 10am, but don't just book one night as there is just too much to see for one night. Stunning wine tasting and restaurants within minutes of the venue.

Amazing venue where you feel like you are stepping into an historical movie
