14 guests' feedbackWe had such a lovely weekend at Excelsior Farm. We are an extended family with 14 adults and 1 small child. We found the house to be spacious enough for all of us to sleep comfortably. It was very hot, so the aircon in the rooms was such a luxury to have. We had a fantastic Saturday at the pool which was not too deep and big enough for all of us to splash around. The kitchen was nice and big and the dishwasher was a lifesaver. The braai area and pool are lovely spaces where we all could hang out and play our games together. The lawn was large enough that we could set up net plays and kick a ball around. We bothered Lizce a few times but she was so helpful and patient with us. Excellent hospitality and memories we will never forget!
The place so nice and big you'll get confused about where your rooms are. It's nice and spacious. The braai area was our fav spot. We enjoyed the pool it wasn't too cold. It was very nice we are surely going back again.
Thank you so much Lizce for the lovely experience.
Excelsior is a beautiful farm and the house is large and spacious, which makes it ideal for a large group. It's the perfect break from the city noise and also ideal for families with children to run around to their heart's content. Thanks also to the hostess for the good service.
I loved that the owners was very helpful but not on your neck all the time. It's great for a big group of people and you can make as much noise as you want.
A tranquil experience for city go-ers. We loved just being able to chat, laugh and relax with friends. Lovely atmosphere, fresh air and beautiful surroundings. We loved our stay which was an hour and half drive from Durbanville. Thank you.
If you want a to getaway from the noise and hustle and bustle of city life then Excelsior Farm should be your choice. Fresh air, peace and quiet and beautiful scenery. An amazing place!
Wow, what a wonderful guest farm! Well situated for peace and tranquility. House is well-equipped and air-cons most welcome in the scorching weather. Owner really went out her way to make us feel welcome. Will highly recommend.
They were clearly not prepared for us. The kitchen was cramped, but had everything needed, except kettle and water! Mosquito/fly screen in caravan completely out! Road to ablution facilities still under construction! Security not to our liking - we were all alone on the farm on the first night. Second night better as there were a few other families in the farmhouse! Nearest neighbors will certainly not be able to hear screams or commotion and no indication of an emergency number available! Overall very disappointing. Definitely not worth the money paid!
Porterville offers the opportunity to escape the busy city life and enjoy time with family and friends.
We were a big group, but still the house was spacious enough not to be in each other's space. Plenty of bathrooms and delicious outdoor barbecue. Location is perfect, kids had a blast.
Great house with everything needed for a vacation. Peaceful and beautiful.
