We stayed in a beautiful, whitewashed cottage. The setting on the farm was lovely - very private, picturesque and peaceful. Having the Hen House coffee shop and restaurant on the property was very convenient as well. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We did the walk to the waterfall and swam there. There is also a farm dam to swim and canoe in.

Beautiful area and nature. Perfect place to relax. The short hike to the waterfall is a Highlight. We would love to come back.

Loved the privacy of Riverside cottage. Loved the walk and climb to the waterfall and swimming at the waterfall. The views up there were fabulous :). I loved the starry sky and the pungent smell of the damp earth at night., the wind through the pine trees.

The mattress was a bit hard and uncomfortable.

We stayed at one of the cottages and absolutely loved it - the space was comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with all the amenities one would need for a weekend away. It ended up raining for most of our stay, so braaiing was out of the question, but the gas stove top worked a dream! The shower was excellent. The short hike up to the waterfall was beautiful and having the Hen House close by for meals if we were lazy along with their fantastic wines and olives made the stay an all in one experience.

The waterfall nearby, the proximity to the Sevilla Rock Art trail, the incredible rocks on the property itself, the wine, the shop and ability to get coffee and food at a guest house, sitting outdoors, all wonderful! The northern Cederberg area is my favourite and I would love to come back to see the rock art again, try bouldering in the area, and just be.

This is ons of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. Absolute magic, thank you for everything. Never have we seen such a starry sky. The dogs, the dam, the farm, the Hen House coffee shop was amazing

Alpha is situated in a very beautiful area and is surrounded by orange sandstone mountains. We stayed at the Vineyard cottage which was clean, comfortable and has a fully equipped kitchen. The cottage is quite secluded and it felt that we were the only ones on the farm. One of our highlights was a walk to a waterfall and we were led by one of the farm dogs. He looked after us throughout the walk and we didn't need to look at signs. We had a few swims in the farm dam which was a real pleasure. We left very refreshed. We can highly recommend Alpha.

Something to note, and this is perhaps because of a new build or probably because of the change in weather conditions- hot and cold temperatures. The Vineyard Cottage roof structure does make a hell of a cracking noise, especially at night when it’s quiet. Otherwise very pleasant place to stay.

The location was good, beautiful and quiet despite the main road passing by not too far off.

the incredable silence and proximity to boulder spots and the landscape

In the evenings, the dogs in the valley go crazy, and they can continue for quite some time Barking at each other, was quite annoying, cutting through the beautiful silence of nature. I also missed calculated my dates and was stuck with a couple and their kids right next to me that clearly couldn't get along and I was basically in the "room with them" while they were fighting from when they arrived till I left 3 days later. I was also disappointed with the fact that only after the booking was made it was stated that my booking wasn't allowed to use the swimming pool, and when I arrived I also figured out I wasn't allowed to make my own campfire I was so looking forward too.

The peace and quiet, the nature experience was phenomenal! The waterfall was my best experience and it's really beautiful and worth the walk! The staff was friendly considering the extreme heat while I was there and helpful when one would need assistance. Will go back with better planning ahead. Was worth my stay and had a blissful time while the school vacation didn't start. Thank you. Your place was a rest well needed while connecting to your beautiful environment.

The door of the chalet couldn't lock but that may have swollen due to the wet weather

We had breakfast at the Hen house which was well presented and very tasty. Freshly squeezed orange juice was a treat. Nice communal area with interesting books to chose from. Pet friendly which was a bonus. Nice bag of dry firewood supplied for the braai. Unfortunately weather was not conducive to jump into the outside hot tub.

The metal roof can be noisy at night when temperatures drop as the metal temperatures change.

Your own little slice of heaven! Had a magical weekend at the Rooibos Cottage! This valley is perfect for a weekend in nature, a beautiful escape. A great coffee shop run by a friendly crew, get the brownies!

We absolutely LOVED the Farm Stay - the family running the farm have so much attention to detail - the house was SPOTLESS clean while being super homey and comfy at the same time. Loved the sherpa doggos taking us to the waterfalls near by which was the most stunning thing I've seen in my life. Then we went to the little dam and raced on the kayaks! We also had a little pool right by the house as well, to relax after a day full of wholesomness! This place is just the best, I could live there! Thank you Alpha Excelsior :)

It was a bit far from the hike we wanted to do but that’s because I didn’t plan properly. Other than that, everything was perfect.

The place was just magic. The views are incredible, it was very quiet and peaceful. Watching the stars at night were one of my favourite thing to do. Great value for money.

It was a bit sad that the owners left for the weekend. Would have bean great to chat a bit and do the wine and olive tasting. Also the cute little coffee shop was closed. However, James and Sebastien were so friendly and helpfull when we arrived and we wish them a fantastic holiday!

Stunning view into Vinyards, Rooibos and Mountains. The entire environment is absolutely calm and peacfull. We loved the privacy, the dam and the fantastic walks arround the farm.
