    The road could be better, but then I guess you would be staying in town and not on a farm.

    Lovely place to stay, very peaceful. There are several hikes that are available on the property, with lovely scenery and some interesting history. There is also well presented information detailing the different types of flora and fauna that can be seen on the property during different times of the year. Nice natural pool where you get to swim with the frogs :-) Chalet is well appointed with everything that you may need.

    I am very excited to have found this absolute gem. The nature reserve has a few beautiful hikes,the most amazing views and is very close to wine farms and the town of Standford. The house is spacious,clean and fully equipped. It is also situated just above a natural swimming pool. Lovely experience all together.

    The location and views was super. The unit had everything that you need, it was very spacious and clean. It is also close to Stanford, Hermanus and Gansbaai in case you need something from a shop or visit a restaurant.

    I like a spotless shower, and I just felt that the floor of the actual shower needs some attention. The water flows out too slow from the shower. The kitchen sink had a leak, so we had to use a bucket to wash the dishes and empty the bucket everytime. But nothing major !

    I enjoyed no TV ! The views were perfect The silence was perfect The mountains and walks were lovely. The beds and pillows were perfect

    I loved the fresh and fragrant fynbos air; the tranquility, expansive views and birdwatching opportunity. The cottage itself was also super spacious and comfortable. I also really appreciated the recycling and waste management efforts and eco-friendly systems. The eco-pool was a massive highlight.

    1 ply toilet paper and a shower that doesn't work. The house is still set up as if we are in a drought, not only is the air-rator in shower contributing to poor flow the wind keeps blowing out the flame. Didn't have 1 decent shower. Do not appreciate a note that says it's not your staffs responsibility to wash the dishes. Actually, it is even though I will always leave a place the same way I got it. Your staff washes the bedding and clean the place once your guests leave, how is the dishes different? Place lacks finess, sunlight liquid in a shampoo bottle!

    The view is amazing.

    The basin plug in the en-suite bathroom in Lobelia cottage needs to be replaced as it could not hold water making shaving or washing one's face difficult. The sliding door to the en-suite bathroom should have some sort of locking mechanism. Very irritating having a 6 year old grand daughter opening/closing/opening /closing the sliding door for fun and peeping in when grand dad is trying to have a shower or when someone is on the toilet.

    The house was quite stuffy and warm - and one wants to keep the windows closed because of the bugs that want to come in - so fans for the rooms would of been welcome. Patio furniture outside by the BBQ / braai would of also been nice.

    Amazing 360 degree views and the silence, peace and tranquility of the surroundings. The fynbos and hiking trails are also superb! In terms of the home, the kitchen is really well equipped and the rooms are generous and spacious.
