Why believe in God when you have already found Heaven? Alternatively, must you believe in God to have been delivered safely here? Looking out from the pool across the green expanse of vines and citrus trees to a series of hills and mountains that fade into the hazy blue sky it is easy to feel that this is what Heaven... More

We spent a 4-day weekend with 4 other couples on a wine-tasting trip to the surrounding area. We were made to feel extremely welcome by the friendly Caren Visser on our arrival. Throughout our stay in very comfortable rooms nothing was too much trouble for her and her friendly staff, to the point of shopping and arranging for a true... More

We loved Excelsior Manor. It is a beautiful place and the whole house has a wonderful atmosphere. The room was so comfortable, and the service and friendliness of the staff was outstanding. Carin made us delicious meals, and the wine complimented them. It was difficult to leave , and next time we will stay longer !

I enjoyed every aspect of my stay at Excelsior Manor. Karin and her staff could not have been more hospitable. The food was first class and the accommodation most comfortable. Thank you all once again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Excelsior - we only stayed one night but really wish we could stay longer! The service at the guesthouse was great and really complimented the delicious dinner & wine. The views from the swimming pool area is fantastic.

We have never stayed at a place like this before. Everybody, even the dogs, was friendly and helpful. The food, the manager Carin is doing the cooking, was very good. We felt much more like a member of the family than a paying guest.

This was one of the many guesthouses we stayed at on our three week trip through South Africa and it was absolutely beautiful. Beginning with the drive up the gravel path from the main street with the beautiful flowers to the quiet, serene pool deck and the amazing view over the vineyards to the mountains and ending with each of...

Comfortable, old Dutch style manor house in a beautiful setting, with expansive views across the vineyards. Carin is a most welcoming host and happily provides the Estate wine on arrival. Dinner is a set menu, which on our one night stay, was very good and well presented. Breakfast on the terrace is delightful, especially the homemade savory scones / biscuits... More

Loved everything about our visit. The setting is magnificient, the rooms lovely, the staff very helpful and the food was excellent. It is a bonus that it is a working farm and that one can wander about and observe its running and not feel that one is unwelcome. There is plenty to do and visit in the area but if... More

Ian and I stayed at Excelsior Wine Farm at the end of March 2013 and had a superb rest for three nights. The red wine harvest was in progress and we watched the grapes being handpicked in the enormous vineyards that surround the house, stretching as far as you can see. We also painted watercolours every day from the dam's... More
