Sweetfontein Boutique Farm Lodge

Sweetfontein Boutique Farm Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The Sweetfontein Boutique Farm is away from town and so peaceful and quiet, so refreshing! The farm has several different cottages with different amenities to suit your needs. Our room had a large comfortable bed and small twin bed, plus refrigerator, private bathroom, air conditioning and large patio with plenty of outdoor furniture. The farm has 3 pools, plus different restaurants, common sitting areas, and walking paths to view plants, animals and ceramic shop. The breakfasts, lunch and dinners were scrumptious, and the service was simply marvelous. They even provided us with take aways to bring to our next “self-serve” destination so that we could simply microwave dinners. The staff went above and beyond to meet your expectations, and really deserve recognition for their attentiveness. They were always busy, and doing a lot of renovations and maintenance for upcoming weddings. Please note that some of the rooms do not have televisions so make sure to reserve a room with one if you want to watch it! Also, there were some issues with internet and signals due to mini tornados, but all was resolved. They also have an entire section for spas, but we did not use this service. I would recommend staying here for peace and quiet and would not hesitate to come back. Thumbs up to the Boutique Farm, especially the wonderful staff! Thank you!"
