"A relaxing rural retreat in a Victorian farmhouse with attentive staff, excellent food and located in the most wonderful setting with plenty of birding and wildlife opportunity.
We enjoyed cycling around the working farm and the special nature reserve
Ensure that you have clear instructions to find the farmhouse (don't rely upon Google Maps - as we tried to do!)."

"Very welcoming. Rustic, charming with lovely friendly host and professional staff. The honeymoon lavender suite was peaceful and tranquil. Great view's with nice pool area. Nice breakfast and good banter with the staff. We would visit again! "

"We stayed in a self catering cottage. The accommodation had everything we needed, lovely bath and fireplace. It is very cold in Tulbagh in mid-winter, but the bed had cosy blankets. This is a working farm, which was fun to explore with my young son. He enjoyed playing with the farm dogs!"

"This guest house is fabulous and much more interesting than chain hotels. It maybe old but it is full of character and decorated with interesting art, everything works and all mod cons are available. The people were so friendly and helpful too, we had a great holiday."

"We had booked this property as a stayover for my mum who was needing to be at the hospital nearby early the next morning. The day of booking the property the owner called after 9pm to enquire where the payment was to which we explained it was purchased on hotels.com AND that the trip was for my SICK mother. After struggling to find someone to assist us on arrival we we where taken to our cottage. The cottage had an overpowering smell of room spray that burnt your eyes. it was very clear that...

"We looooooved our stay at the Southern Belle, Bergsicht Cottage. By far the most private & secluded of all the cottages. We enjoyed the hot tub & the private deck, surrounded by only the sounds of nature. The fairy lights above the pool were very romantic. The cottage had everything we needed to relax & unwind. No TV which was fantastic - you come here to rest & unplug. We'll be back!"

10/10 Excellent
"It was a magical few days.. the setting was amazing and the little lambs were so cute… just so very peaceful.. The house had everything you needed and so beautifully done … We are definately going back !!"
"The standard of accommodation was excellent and everything was done so tastefully.
The property and room was a dream and only wish we had longer than 2 nights.
The food was superb and being located on a wine estate with beautiful walks and nature was an amazing experience.
We will definitely return and a massive thank you to the staff and manageress for making our stay so incredible.
Everything was just perfect."
"I recently stayed at this hotel, and while I wasn’t expecting luxury, I did at least expect the basics to be as advertised. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
First off, the service was bearable—the waiters and staff did their best, but it was clear that there was no real management overseeing anything. It felt like everything was just left up to them, and they were doing the best they could with little direction.
The two restaurants was another letdown. A huge portion of the menu was unavailable, so we were left with very limited choices. If you’re advertising a diverse menu, you should at least be able to serve most of it.
Overall, this place feels completely unorganized and mismanaged. The staff are trying, but without leadership, the whole experience falls flat. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re fine with a place running on autopilot."
