48 guests' feedbackWonderfully received, spotless and so upmarket!
Very, very nice place to rest and for a honeymoon with your partner. We really enjoyed it and the rest after the wedding did us good. We will go back again anytime, but this time with our son. Thank you very much for the nice stay.
Lovely place to stay on the banks of a beautiful pond. The place is spotless, modern and has a beautiful braai on the veranda which can be covered with tarps if it's too cold. The hostess is friendly and willing to help with anything.
We can't wait to go back!
Peaceful near the dam, with the birds flying around and all enjoying the calmness.
We had a great stay, Juanita was always helpful. Place is clean and tidy and very well located. Two things to maybe look out for, all our clothes were on hangers and the wardrobe was not suitable for hanging clothes. Also possibly look for a standing mirror in the room for women who want to do their hair. Furthermore, we had a very nice stay and will definitely visit again in the near future.
Everything was comfortable, neat and clean. All I would suggest is a small dressing table or top with mirror in the master bedroom. At the braai area a shovel and brush to sweep up the ash from the braai, especially if you are staying longer than 2 days.
What a lovely time! We found our way through the imposing mountain countryside to the neat, well-appointed cottage on a working farm. The Guinea fowl were all there to welcome us, and the house was impeccably clean. Our hosts made checking in easy and have ensured that every amenity is easy to locate and use. We were two families with babies, and everyone was comfortable and had fun! Walks around the farm itself were a group favourite! Big thanks to our hosts for their kindness and hospitality. We'd love to visit again some time!
We had a great time, it's so beautiful there and the cottage was perfect, we stayed in the otter. So nice clean and beautiful - we also enjoyed guests who came to visit, there were the most beautiful cats on the farm and 4 of them came to visit us. We are cat people so we thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
We had a wonderful stay at Bestuis. We stayed in Die Luiperd, which catered for everything. Tidy and modern. There is a big dam for bass fishing, and it is close to a few amazing wine farms. Would definitely stay there again.
Absolutely beautiful. Everything was just perfect. Hosts were amazing and extremely helpful and friendly. Facilities were amazing and everything worked perfectly. Well done to the accommodation team.
Great service and excellent accommodation. Will definitely come back.
Great, very neat accommodation. The unit is well equipped with everything needed.
Steward ox the best. East West home is best! Fantastic farm very centrally located. Among wine fields near Capegate. The most beautiful modern units. Most beautiful view from the Fish's stoep. Very friendly hostess who makes sure that everything is perfectly clean and tidy. Washing machine, dishwasher, air conditioning to name just a few pluses. We and the other family will definitely stay there again. One rests and relaxes️️️️️.
We had a wonderful stay at Bestuis Cottages! The Leeu cottage is well furnished and perfect for a large group.
It was really a pleasant stay!
Had a wonderful stay. Hostess friendly. Accommodation excellent. Always stay there when we have to go to Paarl.
We really had a lovely and relaxed time. It was a beautiful place to stay, very comfortable with all the 'bits' we needed.
A nice place, very relaxing. Modern and beautiful house. Very spacious for 2 people. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Juanita.
Juanita and her husband are very kind and helpful. They went above and beyond what was expected from them. We will be back again.
Bestuis Cottages is one of the most beautiful and best places we have ever stayed. Neatly built and equipped, sparkling clean, with a beautiful view of the pond with its waterfowl. The unit is spacious. The king size bed is firm and sleeps like a dream. The bathroom, shower and water pressure are good. The kitchenette met all our needs and the air conditioning is effective. The security is good and we felt safe. The central location in the Winelands is ideal for visiting all the surrounding tourist attractions, after which you can relax on the veranda with a fire and a glass of wine. The atmosphere is absolutely peaceful, with only the sounds of the waterfowl for company. This place can easily become a favorite.
Clean, tidy, safe. Slept very well in fresh and quality bedding. Aircon was great in the heat. The cottage has cute bug-proof doors. The stoep has a large braai which was nice with a nice view of the pond/nature. Cute that we can just call the gate to go in and out as we please. Large security gate closing off the bedroom and bathroom. Liked it for safety. Thank you, Juanita!
We had a great time, especially on the stoep. The house is spacious and the surroundings are beautiful. We will go back again.
Host was very neat, clean, and very stylish. We had fun cycling and fishing.
Very centrally located to visit both the wine farms and Cape Town. Very clean and tidy and excellently equipped and laid out. We had a wonderful stay in a peaceful environment with a nice view of the pond and green grass around the unit. We will definitely go back if we get the chance.
See stars.
The accommodation is modern, smart and well equipped in a beautiful area. The host was very organised and messaged me in advance with all the information I needed, as well as checking in on anything we needed.
It was so peaceful and quiet. Cleanliness 100%.
Excellent stay. Terribly neat. Braai area is nice and big. Transportation was a concern, but when Uber wasn't available, the host quickly suggested alternative methods.
Pleasure to go home here.
Beautiful spacious house, very nice and modern with luxury furniture! Thank you for your hospitality, we had a great time and had a good barbecue every night!
Absolutely stunning accommodation. Far away from any busy roads, loads of birdlife, very tranquil. High quality furniture, including air conditioning. Very neat, good quality bed and linen. Good WiFi in lounge area for streaming. Good security, with burglar bars and safety gates. Modern and neat. Felt it was a bit overpriced for 1 person (same price as 2). Had to drive on a gravel road for about 1.8 km which is not my favourite thing; however, absolutely worth it.
We felt safe and the place is beautiful! It was very tidy. Just take something for flies; I think this was due to the animals. Just a shoutout to the little guys and their sister on the bikes who assisted us when we struggled with the gate. The place is amazing! We would want to visit again.
Unfortunately I wasn't there until after 9pm every night, so pretty much missed the beauty, and again early mornings with work. Brilliant communication from you, as well as Steuis off! All I would suggest, if I may, is just to better communicate what is included and what is excluded, for example towels, rooms/dishes are washed daily by Bestuis, coffee is refilled daily etc. etc. Love the "out of town" location, but shops are not around the corner, so on my 2nd day I knew to stock up on coffee, sugar, milk and shampoo/soap. I know, just little little things. But yes, my next stay there I will definitely make more use of the wonderful surroundings! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!
Nice stay, peaceful and quiet for us who come from a busy city life! No extras of any kind, not even water in the fridge!
Had a wonderful stay. Very neat, safe and clean. Would definitely recommend.
See stars.
Very nice stay there. Beautifully clean and tidy and wonderfully peaceful atmosphere.
Excellent place to stay and very central. I should have stayed longer.
The service from my first email, until we left, was absolutely brilliant: speedy, detailed and friendly. Both the booking team and Juanita went above and beyond to ensure the perfect stay! Thank you!
Have a great time and relax.
Very nice patio.
The perfect place for our occasion. It was neat and clean and everything we needed. It was inviting and the view really was amazing.
We had such a peaceful weekend break. Beautiful views all around.
Lovely, spacious cottage with enough space outside for children to frolic. The units are also designed to make load shedding bearable. Nicely centrally located to be able to enjoy both the wine countries, but also Cape Town itself. Would definitely recommend it.
Unfortunately Wi-Fi was not working during our stay.
Guesthouse is clean and tidy with friendly service.
We were in the Winelands for two wine festivals, so really just needed somewhere clean and close by to sleep at, so this ticked those boxes. However, the description of the cottages was somewhat misleading as there is no dam anywhere close to the accommodation (the view from the deck is of a fence and solar panels, with mountains in the far distance). Also, the bedroom with the single beds is on the way into one of the double bedrooms, so couldn't really be used by non-families. Also note that both those bedrooms are a long way down the passage from the bathroom.
