We spent an absolutely wonderful weekend at Grootnek guest farm. The location and scenery is of the best in South Africa, the hospitality is warm and inviting and the farm offers a lovely atmosphere to relax in while still providing fun and interesting activities associated with farm life.

Certainly one of the best overnight/holiday destinations in the South Cape. The hospitality of Gerrie, his dogs and two donkeys is wonderful and endearing. Breathtaking views of the mountains and wildlife. It is simply not a place that one simply forgets. Would definitely recommend.

A tranquil breakaway from the city where the stars shine bright and the mountains surround you. Ideal for families, friends or even couples who want to experience the bliss of farm life.

It is so beautiful and relaxing. The kids had a great time picking plums and herding the bull. The cottage is so well thought out, that we really only needed to bring food and clothes. We will definitely be back soon.

The beautiful view and sunset over the valley was good food for the human soul. The untouched nature was breathtaking. The decor is done with so much class and style. It is no secret that a lot of time, effort and thought went into it. It is stunning. Thank you for your warm welcoming and spontaneous hospitality. It made us feel at home.

Your hospitality, and kindness, made our stay really wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble for you. Thanks again Gawie for setting, and lighting, our lovely fire on the stoep on our last evening. We will certainly recommend Grootnek Guest Farm to friends in our village of McGregor (Western Cape) and to anyone else we come across in our travels
