Flanieren, spazieren oder sich in der Nähe etwas ansehen ist keine Option. Als wir ankamen rechnete man nicht mehr mit Gästen und hatte die umliegenden Felder gedüngt, entsprechend roch es auch. Nach einigem Hin und Her bezüglich des Zimmers, das wir uns anders vorgestellt hatten bekamen wir dann ein Upgrade auf die Executive-Suite und diese war wirklich sehr großzügig und schön (in historischem Stil) eingerichtet. Am Abend starteten wir mit einer Weinverkostung aus eigenem Anbau, die Dame, die uns die Weine präsentierte war sehr nett und kompetent und die Weine waren allesamt von guter Qualität. Auch das anschließend gereichte Abendessen (Lammhaxe) war wunderbar und obwohl wir die einzigen Gäste waren hatten wir die volle Auswahl auf der Speisekarte. Das Essen wurde uns sehr stimmungsvoll vor dem Kamin serviert. Nun aber zum Hauptkritikpunkt, der Lage des Anwesens. Es liegt genau in einer ansteigenden Kurve einer Autobahn, dort ist Tempo 120 erlaubt, die LKWs geben Gas, um die Steigung zu schaffen bzw. bremsen wenn es abwärts geht. Das bedeutet, dass ab 4 Uhr morgens nicht mehr an Schlaf zu denken ist. Da hilft leider auch kein noch so freundliches Personal und leckeres Frühstück darüber hinweg. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1342-pc11c0bf0-7224-11e8-9e2f-02427cbe7472-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1665-pf41af7b0-7223-11e8-991c-0242a8c09ebc-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s759-p64fcfa50-7224-11e8-9e2f-02427cbe7472-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Udo Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 20 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Country style with a difference Staff excellent. They even cleaned my car without asking which was a lovely surprise as the car was very dusty after lots of off road miles. Very comfortable place to stay. High quality. Accommodation old Victorian style but spacious and high quality. Fair trade business who genuinely care about the product they are selling. Staff are treated with the same principles and are valued in the Jan Harmsgat business. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antonius 2 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 5 sterren kwaliteit Kleinschalig met veel persoonlijke aandacht en service. ##### Antonius ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The staff at JHG were incredibly friendly and made us feel very special.As surprise for our honeymoon the room was beautifully decorated.

Nothing was too much trouble. We loved our stay and will be back. ##### Natalie ### 8/10 Good #### Karl Johan, Harare 10 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall a nice stay Overall a very nice experience. Only negative is the location next to the road. But it was not as noticeable as I would have thought and I'm quite the anti noise pollution type of person. Good food even though they tried a bit too hard and dishes were a bit over worked. But plenty of good restaurants in the vicinity. We stayed with 3 children for 2 nights and got a couple of very charming and spacious rooms adjacent to each other. ##### Karl Johan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick, Novi, Michigan USA 11 Jul 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Charming country atmosphere The staff greeted us immediately upon arrival. The chef came out with a delicious description of the dinner he was preparing. The walk to our 'house' was through a grape vine arboretum past the pool. The house was charming and well appointed. The dinner (extra cost) was well worth it and we had a wonderful breakfast. The dining area had a lounge area that was just right for after a relaxing after dinner drink. ##### Rick ### 8/10 Good #### Linda, Winterthur 30 May 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Erholung und fantastisches Gourmeterlebnis Wunderschönes Farmhaus und toller Service. ##### Linda ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger, Zürich 30 Mar 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sehr empfehlenswert Ein wirklich schöner Ort um zu entspannen! Die ursprünglichen Kap Häuser, welche alle modernisiert worden sind, versetzen einen in eine Andere Epoche. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das ausgezeichnete Restaurant. Die Küche ist schlicht sensationell! Dies zeigt dich beim Abendessen wie beim Frühstück. einzig WLAN hatte so seine Probleme. ##### Roger ### 6/10 Okay #### Antoine, LONDON ENGLAND 8 Mar 2013 Liked: Property conditions & facilities #### This guest house could be so much better Beautifully situated hotel, it would have helped if they had alerted visitors to the closure of the road from Swellendam! The piped music in the restaurant was somewhat irritating particularly the breakfast selection. The staff were friendly but the service at dinner was extremely slow. We felt that there was nobody there with enough presence to be alert to enough to see when things were going wrong. ##### Antoine ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tilman 26 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Tilman ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Manor House at the Queen Victoria Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Manor-House-At-The-Queen-Victoria-Hotel.h19310581.Hotel-Information) > > [Avondrood Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Avondrood-Guest-House.h12640404.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Foundry Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Old-Foundry-Hotel.h57820595.Hotel-Information) > > [Paternoster Dunes Boutique Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paternoster-Hotels-Paternoster-Dunes-Boutique-Guesthouse.h31911613.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Vineyard Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Vineyard-Hotel.h523689.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) > > [Botlierskop Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Klein-Brak-River-Hotels-Botlierskop-Private-Game-Reserve.h2991039.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Marina Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mountain-Marina-Luxury-Apartments.h24940058.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Waterfront.h545852.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [Krystal Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Krystal-Beach-Hotel.h15651822.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun The Cullinan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Southern-Sun-The-Cullinan.h118030.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Taj-Cape-Town.h3016361.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Ocean-View-House.h3091584.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sky Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Hotel-Sky-Cape-Town.h63494685.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-VA-Waterfront-Cape-Town.h18644202.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Boschendal Farm Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Boschendal-Farm-Estate.h15426059.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria and Alfred Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Victoria-Alfred-Hotel.h46797.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden Route Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albertinia-Hotels-Garden-Route-Game-Lodge.h2917158.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Alphen-Boutique-Hotel.h46794.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clarendon - Fresnaye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Fresnaye.h3004641.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Hotel Lions Eye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Houghton-View-Guest-House.h10633636.Hotel-Information) ---
