77 guests' feedbackOrange Grove is the most amazing place. I will definitely go every weekend if I have the time. It is very safe. Could go for a walk without feeling unsafe. It was wonderful to rest for 4 days at this wonderful place.
Ideal getaway with friends and family. Nice surroundings and very good facilities. The cottages were well furnished and warm. Would go again anytime!
Lovely stay. We were there a year back and there were a few maintenance issues, but it looks like new management has blown fresh air into the establishment. Lovely house with everything you need.
Good getaway place. Beautiful unit with 2 stoeps and 2 braai places. Spacious kitchen.
We were well received by the workers. Although it is very sad that the farm looks very bad, the condition of the farm is dilapidated. The unit we stayed in was nice, but not worth the price. The drinking water was brown. The farm may have to say earlier that you have to bring your own water. I believe that the prices for the farm's accommodation are so high as to measure the 'neglect' of the farm itself. Definitely not a 5 star post for me.
Unit occupied was Delportshoop Cottage. We were 4 adults traveling together (2 couples). Accommodation was spacious and theoretically ideal. However, we encountered severe cold and rainy weather, which highlighted the following problems: Severe smell of smoke upon entry due to fireplaces in unit. No hot water due to faulty gas geysers installed. It was extremely uncomfortable in the chilly weather, with no hot bath/shower. The manageress and factotum came to look at our request, but could not find a solution to the problem. Furthermore, there were leaks everywhere - in the single bed room, water flowed down the chimney, and the toilet kept running when flushed. The roof at the braai place was leaking everywhere, as was a gutter that poured its water into a stream right before the braai place opened. Overall, it lacks upgrading and maintenance.
We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and beautiful nature, as well as nearby wine farms that we could visit. Wonderful hospitality.
We had an absolutely wonderful time. This venue helps one to relax and unwind. Our only disappointment is that we could not secure a booking of more than 4 nights. We tried making another booking for end Jan-beginning Feb 2023 but could not secure any bookings for more than 2 nights which is testimony of how popular this venue is.
The house has everything we need. It was a lovely visit. Aletta is a special person, kind with a soft heart. We enjoyed every moment. Was lovely to wake up to all the bird sounds.
Upon arrival, we were kindly greeted and given directions at their reception. Our ordered snack board from their menu was delivered quietly and discreetly. We found the lights and TV on and turned the TV off when we arrived at Mosesberg cottage. Close everything and be vigilant against baboons. Damp wood was delivered as ordered, but bring dry wood with you. Super Spar in Robertson is selling at 50% less. The walk in the mountains was also wonderful, despite the rain and mud. With a swimming pool at each cottage and private braai facilities, it can only be more festive in the summer. Breathtaking place. Would love to go again.
Very nice and spacious with everything you need!
We are thinking of visiting in the summer, so we can use the pool as well. Our dog also enjoyed the walking route so much.
Always warm and friendly welcome from the staff. Cottage clean and filled with necessary appliances. Cozy fireplace and aircon, even a lovely heated blanket if you want the bed warm before getting in and feel that cosy warmth in the cold winter days. Love catching the morning sun at the back with breakfast then lounging on the loungers for some sun and a cocktail on the front deck watching the sun set and seeing the cross light up on the little mountain. Definitely a place to visit, we love staying at the Mosesberg cottage and have been there about 5-6 times and will be back. The beauty surrounding the cottage is breathtaking.
Will definitely book at Orange Grove Farm again - exceeded all expectations. Thank you very much.
Lovely location, and very relaxing experience.
When we arrived, we didn't know about the R500 fee we had to pay in case something breaks or gets damaged. We paid R260 for cleaning service which we thought was included in payment when we booked, so we had to spend money we didn't budget for.
Well-equipped cottage, clean and safe with a view of the valley. Great customer service.
Place is neat and very comfortable. Friendly staff and very helpful with everything. Thank you for my delicious breakfast. Was nice and cozy in front of the fireplace although there was too little wood. Perfect for a couple and not far from town and wine farms.
The staff were very helpful and friendly, you can see they have a passion for what they do. The accommodation is very nice, extra effort has been made with fresh flowers and toilet paper, snuff boxes and towels all very nicely made up. Everything you might need has already been thought of and the accommodation is fully equipped. I also like that they offer extra services like picnic baskets, barbecue packs and snacks. There is also plenty to do in the area with beautiful eateries and wineries just around the corner. It's also kid-friendly, so next time the whole family can go along. Will definitely recommend them and visit again.
Beautiful setting with ample privacy.
Orange Grove can definitely be recommended. Private, friendly, accommodating, neat, spacious and beautiful. The area is picturesque and close enough to the town and surrounding farms for a quick zip around. We had problems with Wifi network, but the staff were nimble and quick to help. Very nice warm electric blankets, fireplace etc for the winter. Was too cold to barbeque (outside) when we were there, but looks like it will be very nice in warmer weather. So too with the pool and outdoor shower.
It's a very nice house and by the mountains. Everything very neat. The smaller room upstairs could do with a towel rail and the bathroom light in the smaller bathroom upstairs is very dim. There was WiFi and DStv, but because load shedding nothing worked unfortunately.
Relaxing and quiet. I’d go again.
One cannot ask for better. The cocktail outing with Carlos, the owner, was truly special. The farm and surroundings are truly breathtaking.
Everything was delicious. Falling in love on the porch. I could sit there and stare for days. House was lovely and felt luxurious with everything needed.
Most beautiful farm view. Unit is neat and the service is very good.
We didn't get our deposit back until Thursday 6 days after we checked out after having to ask 3 times. The third time I had to be incapacitated against my will.
The chalet is beautiful and very well-equipped, however there is definitely room for improvement. There is a fish moth problem, which we were told they are aware of and will attend to when they have a chance as they currently have back-to-back bookings. The Wi-Fi signal (and cell reception in general) is very weak and as a result my card did not not work when having to pay the breakage deposit and I had to EFT when I could finally log into my banking app after receiving several WhatsApp messages from reception. The Peer Dam hiking trail is definitely not 45 min as communicated to us and the trail is not maintained either. If an incident should occur whilst on it, one will be in grave danger as there's no signal on the mountain. I was also baffled by the additional cleaning fee (including wood which is stated as complimentary on the booking confirmation form). We also had to wait for the chalet to be inspected by staff before we could check out and be refunded for the breakage deposit.
We visited your farm a year ago for a weekend and lived in Delportshoop. It was a great experience and we have been telling people all about it. So we thought of booking another weekend this year, but decided to try Fineview cottage. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed this time. To start off with, I was asked twice about my arrival time, after I told the lady that I will let her know when we are on our way. We did not plan to check in early or late, so I don’t see the need for being asked all the time for my arrival time. I understand that you want to plan, but it felt a little bit too much for me. Then we arrived at the cottage. We were shown to the cottage and on arrival were greeted very friendly. No physical checks were done upon our arrival at the cottage. Later on, we found quite a few issues with the cottage. We have addressed it with the property manager Yolande (who did the check before we left). 3 of the kitchen light bulbs don’t work. The right sink of the basin in the kitchen leaks even when the plug is in. There are only two cloths in the kitchen. Not enough if you stay for a weekend. The tap at the bathroom sink in the left room is loose and moves every time you open the tap. Both showers are leaking at the shower head. Toilet roll holder broken in right bedroom. Shower caddy in left room’s bathroom only has one screw. Paint in left room is terrible against the ceiling. Darker spots. Blinds broken in left bathroom and hanging on one hinge in the kitchen - other hinge broken/loose. Curtains in living room are hung very badly and loose. It feels like it is going to fall off if you pull it as quite a few of the plugs holding it up are missing. We are not very fussy people, but all of this added up to an unpleasant experience. We were also asked if we would be there for the departure check, which we didn’t really understand. Everything that was checked when Yolande was there were the maintenance things. I don’t see why we had to be there, as this had nothing to do with us. We felt a little bit funny about this, because we did not have this the previous time, and if you look at the list above, this was clearly not done before we arrived. We would like some feedback on this and expect compensation in some form for the inconvenience caused. You are rated as 5-star, and that is what we paid for, but we don’t feel that we got half of that in this experience.
We couldn't have asked for more - exceptional service, attention to even the smallest detail (like fresh flowers in every room)! The food is fantastic and pack your mountain bike, there is a route for every level of experience.
The cottage was spacious and spotlessly clean. Beautiful view of the mountains and river. It was strange to sleep without burglar bars and security gates (given the crime in SA), but there is an alarm. Nevertheless, we felt very safe and it was wonderful to be so close to nature. We saw beautiful birds and heard the frogs croaking at night. The food we ordered was lovely fresh and tasty. The only disappointment was that no special effort was made for my husband's birthday (the contact person did ask ahead of time if we were celebrating any special occasion and I informed her) - that bit of pampering was missing.
Unbelievably beautiful place! Neat and clean! Exactly what a family needs to get away from the hustle and bustle!
Very centrally located to the surrounding areas such as Robertson, Montagu, Barrydale etc. to visit
Very nice place. Bird paradise. Clean and very nice in winter with fireplace.
Accommodation is neat and clean. We were warmly welcomed on arrival, accidentally activated the alarm within 10 minutes there was a knock on our door to make sure we were safe and a call - that's what you call top quality service. The "breakfast basket" is fantastic, everything freshly prepared. Will definitely come back again.
Friendly service from everyone as soon as you arrive. Accommodation comparable to any other luxury accommodation. Great place for quiet time away from the city rush.
Fresh air, silence, scenery.
What a wonderful gem in the heart of the small Karoo. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and only wished it were longer. We will most definitely be back!
Orange Grove is fantastic for recharging your batteries and invigorating your soul!
Great customer service, beautiful surroundings, luxurious cottage, lots of activities to do, absolutely idyllic. I haven't rested so well in a long time! We will definitely come again.
It was so beautiful and so delicious. Definitely worth every rand and cent. We would love to stay longer next time.
We really enjoyed our stay. It was lovely to walk every day and the silence did us good. The house was clean and tidy and the staff were very helpful. Would definitely recommend Orange Grove.
General maintenance could improve.
Thank you for a lovely break.
We wanted a place to stay were we could relax and unwind. Orange Grove met our expectations fully. Friendly staff and we were given the choice for daily service or none. Wonderful spot but not too far from Robertson so we could still go to town for dining out. Will definitely return.
We were very comfortable there, but it is a bit far out of town.
The cottage is absolutely inviting and comfortable. The peace and quiet was enjoyed thoroughly and we gained much deserved rest. The beautiful sunset and evening sky is a bonus with the sound of the crickets in the background. We would definitely return.
The views and privacy of every home on the farm is absolutely superbly planned. We will certainly visit Orange Grove again soon, but next time with our kids. The farm walking trails, animals and swimming pool are perfect for a family holiday.
Orange Grove Farm deserves 10 stars. We were so happy with our accommodation and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking.
Very cosy and neat. Great view from the patio!
Excellent accommodation and staff.
Orange Grove Farm is a fantastic & beautiful guest farm. From our initial booking to the day of our departure, we were assisted with friendly and prompt service. Carlos made us feel very at home upon our arrival, and even treated us to the farm's own wine, delicious! The accommodation was great, everything and more, if you want to get away this is definitely the right place. A real gem.
We had a wonderful stay. The unit is very private and surrounded by mountains and vineyards. The birdlife is fantastic. There is plenty of safe walking space. The swimming pool on the veranda is a great treat. The unit itself is spacious and has everything you need. Bathrooms are spacious and luxurious. The fireplaces in the living area and rooms are a winner. The barbecue area is sheltered and perfect for visiting. Access to wine farms in the area is easy, but you can also just relax wonderfully on the farm. I would go back anytime.
We were really pleasantly surprised by everything. Beautiful views, nice pool, we enjoyed the house and had a great BBQ! There is nothing to complain about.
Nice place. Good welcome. Barbecue basket (in option) to review.
The host was extremely friendly and helpful. Long lands cottage is beautiful. Will definitely book again. Went for a morning hike with breathtaking views. Very accessible.
Friendly and helpful people.
Very good and enjoyable experience. The guest house is very stylish and clean. The owner was very involved with the guests and ensured that there were no shortages or problems.
We were warmly received by Carlos, the owner as he personally took us to our unit and explained everything. The unit was very neat and clean and wood for the fireplace and braai was replenished every day. We used the hiking trails and felt very safe. The units are nice and private. View in summer months over the green vineyards should be beautiful.
Orange Grove is truly a majestic venue. It’s secluded, quiet, and beautiful. The cottage is functional and had enough kitchen utilities to serve two people, and enough furniture to make it a comfortable stay. The bed, furniture, towels, gowns, and bathroom were clean, as was the kitchen utilities. The floors however were not. You’re charged extra if you want room service to clean your room. They don’t have an ironing board, you must pay the R300 per hour charge for that. They do however clean and restock your braai facilities everyday. The killer for me was the bed. For three evenings I slept with great difficulty as it was lumpy and every movement from my spouse was like rocking a boat. The room has no aircon so it was hot. Is it worth a five star rating? Not with a bad sleeping experience, no aircon and charged room service. I’ve frequented many venues and for me five star means aircon, a quality bed and room service at your beck and call. The view, location, space of room, shower, kitchen facilities, swimming pool and area are wonderful though. We also received a nice welcome gift - a bottle of wine - when we arrived, which was a nice touch. So, if they address my issues, no one could fault them.
We were there for a wedding on a farm close-by. The accommodation, service and location was excellent.
We are carried on the hands. Nothing was too much trouble and we were pretty much spoiled! These breakfast baskets with "option" were from these books, walking routes beautiful and the people very friendly.
My amazing boyfriend treated me to a night here on my birthday. They gave us a warm welcome, after which we were showed to Fine View Cottage.The cottage is beautiful and spacious with a spectacular view of the vineyards and the mountains. I was surprised with a picnic basket for lunch, which they set up at our cottage next to the pool. The food was amazing (there was enough for dinner as well) and their attention to detail made it very special. Later that afternoon on the terrace, just before the sun set, my boyfriend proposed. Needless to say it was the best birthday yet and I would not have changed a thing. I would highly recommend Orange Grove. Do yourself a favour and indulge in 2 nights accommodation. You will not regret it. We will definitely be returning for an anniversary celebration.
Just far enough from town to make it feel nice and rural. 12 minutes from 4 Cousins Restaurant. Brilliant combination. See you soon!
Thank you for those extras - the roses and champagne. Our 15 year wedding anniversary was made really special in your beautiful place.
A huge thank you to Hayley for all your help in making our wedding anniversary weekend so special. Mosesberg Cottage is the perfect place for just that. The view is fantastic and the picnic baskets definitely set a new mark on "self catering". A weekend after a woman's heart. No cooking, no washing dishes and no cleaning. The friendly crew that came in to do all this was so quiet and quick, when I looked again they were done and gone. Thank you very, very much. See you next year.
Good service from reception until we left again. Neatly clean. Wonderful view! Thanks for the wine!
Thank you very much for an excellent place, lovely atmosphere and beautiful scenery that surrounds you!
Carlos arranged for the Chef to do a braai at our chalet, which was very welcome after travelling on bikes all day.
We were very kindly received, had a wonderful stay and the cottages are incredibly well furnished and planned. EVERYTHING was thought of and we loved the decor! Wish we could stay longer, beautiful place with the most beautiful view! Thanks to everyone for making our visit special, would definitely recommend it to everyone!
Orange Grove Farm really is a gem near Robertson. The accommodation is luxurious in the middle of the most beautiful mountains and you can have fun and relax with your family. It is very private and nobody bothers you. Would recommend to anyone.
Great accommodation, with exceptional service! Beautiful area and so tranquil! A must for all! Was a spoil. Will be going back!
I would go again anytime.
Orange grove farm provides the perfect combination between nature and a homey atmosphere. Everything you need is available, the surroundings are beautiful and the service is very professional.
The accommodation makes staying inside just as enjoyable as being outside. It's particularly beautiful, nice and private and the snow on the mountains was a wonderful bonus.
I have already recommended Orange Grove to some of my friends and 2 Couples have already booked. I believe they will come back with the same experience as me. I will definitely go back.
Too nice, beautiful on a farm in nature.
