This was our best stay on a 10 day South African vacation. Excellent service throughout, pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. Lovely decor in the rooms. We were shown 2 to choose from, one being an offer for upgrade without charge. We actually chose the original room as it had a lovely balcony. Beautiful gardens and views. Dinner was excellent,...

September 2010 I stayed in The Kloof for three days, together with colleques. It is beautiful and authentic estate that sets the standard for all my South Africa experiences. Personel is very friendly. Breakfast and dinner were superb. I would recommend it to anyone travelling without kids. Young kids would not appreciate the luxury and probably "run" into some delicate... More

We stayed for 2 nights as part of our 12 day trip from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. The welcome we received including comp drinks was very positive though we were surprised to hear we would be sleeping on a waterbed. We didn't like it. The bathroom was large and looked fab but the basins were set back too far... More

This elegant boutique guesthouse lies in a secluded valley, surrounded by the majestic Langeberg Mountains, and is set on a historical estate. The manor house dates back to 1801 and is an outstanding example of Cape Dutch architecture. We find the location excellent because it is within walking distance of the characterfull, historical center. To Bontebok National Park is approx.... More

We stayed 3 nights at this excellent guest house - it has a lovely 8 acre garden, but is not on a wine estate - where the owners and staff could not do enough for their guests. Large swimming pool and good food. Bedrooms first rate. Swellendam is a lovely small town with a historical centre worth spending a few... More

This is a really welcoming and friendly Guest House, with all the staff very helpful. Here everyone is treated as if they are special and important to the staff and owners. UNfortunately my wife wasn't well while we were here, so we didn't make the most of the facilities. The food was top quality, very well prepared and presented. The... More

We stayed at De Kloof in early 2012. The grounds are extensive with various charming buildings which make up a farmstead atmosphere. Our room was large and thoughtfully decked out in a contemporty design and a modern luxury bathroom. The beds are comfortable and out sleep was brilliant as to was the hospitatlity offered by the team.

It was a hot hot day but the afternoon around the pool was awesome. Excellent and prompt service throughout the afternoon ensured I did not get thirsty. Wine tasting around the koi pond in the evening was enjoyable although they did seem to be half hearted about it. A great idea could be improved. The 5-course tasting dinner on the... More
