14 guests' feedbackWarm and welcoming personnel, beautifully appointed rooms, great breakfast - and all in a stunning location with exquisite gardens.
BnB warmth with hotel amenities.
The employees and owners go out of their way to accommodate their guests with comfort. My business trip felt like a "home away from home". Thank you and you will definitely see me again.
We had an excellent time and Deanne, family and staff only made the experience more memorable. Thank you so much.
Amazing to hear the trickle of water all the time, but I'm not sure if the rooms further from the trickle could hear it. To me it sounded like I was at the sea. It's a winding road both ways when you exit the premises, and no lights on the road, which makes it difficult for a solo traveler to drive out for dinner in the evening, and the guest house does not have dinner options. Parking is not very close to your room - I suggest someone is available, especially to help solo travelers with their luggage to the room. Furthermore, it was really amazing, very nice breakfast, and very friendly staff.
Deanne went out of her way to make our trip extra special. Thanks.
The stay we had at Gowan Valley Guest Farm had the most amazing view and setting. Just the right accommodation to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city life. The Room was perfect. Breakfast was great. I would definitely recommend Gowan Valley Guest Farm.
Loved it and will go back.
From the first moment you drive into Gowan Valley, you know that you're going to have a restful experience. From the soothing sounds of the river that rushes through the property, to the beautiful Nguni cattle grazing in the grass, to the horses running wild and free through the fields, everything about Gowan Valley speaks to peace, quiet, and R&R. Then you get to meet Deanne and Brett, whose hospitality and warmth will reassure you that you are in the right place. Everything about Gowan Valley seems carefully considered and meticulously prepared, from the beautiful breakfast area that overlooks the river, to the well-appointed rooms that are spacious, bright, and comfortable. I highly recommend Gowan Valley for your next visit to the Midlands; I would stay again without hesitation. Thank-you, Deanne and Brett, for a wonderful visit!
We would definitely be back!
We loved our stay and the location and people made us feel so welcome, thank you!
Gowan Valley Guest Farm it's in a really great location. Loved the farm, the space and the tranquillity. Our room did not really cater for self-catering but the host was accommodating to granting access to fridge, microwave and place to clean up for my toddler's food and bottles. Electricity was out for the one night by the following day we got a lantern and matches in case of a repeat. The room was nicely done and very spacious. My family and I had a great experience.
Stunning farm and very peaceful, very friendly service.
Neat guesthouse. Friendly, helpful staff. Warm, spacious room - we stayed in room 4, the family room.
