56 guests' feedbackIt was very pleasant! We enjoyed it! Will definitely come again.
We had a very nice stay.
The guest house is in a very peaceful environment. We had a great stay in the 3-bedrooms and there was also an outdoor kitchen facilities at our disposal. They also provide for lamps for each room during load shedding. The place is neat and clean and is definitely recommended!
Very beautiful, historic buildings and gardens, beautiful neat, clean and comfortable rooms. Most beautiful porches with the most beautiful sunset. Very conveniently located near George and Oudtshoorn. Very friendly welcome.
Accommodation was clean, tidy, safe and spacious.
It was good, no complaints.
Wonderfully calm and peaceful. Very clean and tidy.
Was very nice, thank you very much and also very cute.
Very nice stay, a bit far from the nearest town.
Accommodation was comfortable and very tidy. Also had breakfast there and it was delicious. Very nice coffee.
Great location. Comfortable rooms!
The stay at Over the Mountain was wonderful. Our cottage had beautiful character with wooden floors and a gazebo on the porch. Picturesque view from the porch. Owners were very friendly, hospitable and helpful with anything.
Magnificent view! Thank you to the friendly host for the good communication.
It worked well for accommodation for a wedding we attended nearby.
The setting is beautiful! Lovely hikes, cycles, pool and well-kept garden. We ordered dinner which was delicious not to mention the breakfast and scones in the tea garden! I would recommend some candles and matches for load shedding although thankfully there is a gas cooker to cook on! Also, our accommodation had a bathroom in one bedroom, so depends who you're sharing with? The Wi-Fi and reception are intermittent, but the hosts offer the use of theirs for anything important or meetings, so it's not really a bother. All in all, a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend it.
Silence and tranquility.
I would love to stay there again, but the modifications to get there are in urgent need of review. The Montagu Pass is closed, impassable. I was totally lost and wondering for sure what would have happened if I didn't have cell phone signal. My poor mother was very traumatized. So you urgently need to look at the amendments please.
We had a lovely short stay in such a stunning setting. The teens enjoyed learning archery too! We just felt the pool should have been cleaned of leaves/ insects and dog droppings picked up off the lawn before we arrived.
Very neat room, but no fan or aircon. Wifi does not work in rooms. Don't get new towels every day. Small kitchen outside if you need to wash bottles for children. Only small flash available if there is loadshedding. Furthermore, very nice accommodation and restaurant.
Directions totally wrong on the website. Just 2 small lamps for loadshedding. No hot water in the evening after 12 hours on the road and 45 min. 's looking for the place. Next morning no hot water. Oh sorry! The geyser was off. Does not make for good service. Weak! We left there with no shower! Please make correct directions to place or add coordinates.
The cottage as well equipped with good beds. An additional toilet separate from master bedroom could work.
Was a little afraid of the no fences and car standing like that in front of the place, but we saw the next day the bikes were still lying there that were there the night before. So it's safe. One small problem. Internet. There is no internet, even though it says there is. If you stand outside the room in the garden you get a little signal. No TV which makes it difficult in the evening with small children. No hair dryer. Usually B&Bs for ladies have a small hairdryer. Will just check it out. But otherwise I would stay there again. Just provide for the rest! Most beautiful views and quiet and really safe. Even though we were a little scared, we slept great.
Gerrit and Estelle thank you very much for the hospitality! We will definitely be back.
The old post office was beautiful to sleep in. Everything was so nicely arranged and rooms were wonderfully comfortable.
Lovely peaceful surroundings.
Very friendly reception by owner. Everyone had a very comfortable room. Helped with equipment for social braai.
Delicious food from the restaurant. Our son enjoyed playing in the garden.
They went above and beyond to accommodate us.
Absolutely lovely stay, especially as I was travelling on my own. Was a lovely treat to sit on the stoep and relax. The owners and staff were all very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed some meals at the Tea Garden on the farm, and had the best scones I have had in a long time.
Away from everyday hustle and bustle. Surrounded by the beauty of nature. Loved our walks.
The distance calculator on web and actual is different but, the drive through the Outeniqua pass awesome awesome.
Microwave would be handy. There is a nice swimming pool and braai facilities, but the weather didn't cooperate. I felt that breakfast at R120 per person was a bit expensive.
It was a lovely treat. Will definitely visit again. Real farm atmosphere.
The hosts were friendly and OK, the place comfortable.
Six of us stayed in the family home for a weekend to attend a wedding nearby and it was perfect for what we needed! There is only one bathroom, but we didn't need anything anymore. There are indoor and outdoor braai areas and it is just a nice home!
We really enjoyed staying at Over the Mountain Guest Farm! The owners' hospitality and friendliness is unbeatable and would very much like to stay there again if we are in the area again.
What a fantastic discovery! Highly recommended!
Excellent.Peaceful atmosphere.
Felt welcome. Very tranquil, quiet, no TV or WiFi, so you can relax and spend time with your family.
We arrived early, yet were greeted very friendly and shown our room which already was ready and great. The info given as to what to do in the area were also very helpful. The location is amazing.
Was very peaceful and nice. The owners are very friendly and helped a lot. There are only 2 things that bother: 1 is the stove. He continues to kick off the power. I just used an extension cord to plug him in. 2. You have to turn the bathroom light on and off until it works. Very big frustration. Otherwise it's very nice.
Over the Mountain Guest Farm is a very beautiful and tranquil piece of heaven on earth. Everyone very friendly, the home cooked meals are delicious and tasty. Will definitely go back with our parents.
We had a lovely stay and would definitely visit Over the Mountain Guest Farm again. There breakfast and dinner was very good and definitely a must have when you are there. Very friendly management and helpful. Wonderful view of the mountains and their garden.
We stayed at Over the Mountain for almost a week and enjoyed every moment. It was our base from where we explored the surrounding area. Our house was simple, but very homely and had everything we needed. Over the Mountain has a great location. It was quiet and dark. We had a lovely time!
The owners of the lovely guesthouse are helpful and friendly and made our stay such a pleasant experience!
Lovely, peaceful stay. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Ons het verblyf geniet. Dit was lekker stil en rustig. Ideale ligging om as basis te gebruik om ander dorpe te besoek. Die huisie was mooi en skoon. Alle elektriese ware het gewerk. Beslis 'n plek om weer te besoek.
The directions that came with the booking had us driving the Montagu Pass (dirt road) instead of the tarmac. The distances weren't right either. The receptionist from Over the Mountain called in the morning. It does not help to try to signal the way for someone while he is driving. I don't know George. The lady was very defensive when we mentioned some of the wrong directions that came with the reservation. The directions were wrong, don't you help pointing the way over the phone, it's not my fault. It did not leave a good taste in the mouth.
Brought family for a few days. The reception was very friendly and helpful, thank you Estelle! The location is exactly what we were looking for with the quiet and the feel of a farm community. There is a lot to explore and we went hiking, jogging, swimming and motorcycling among other things. The rooms are neat and clean with a very nice breakfast. If I had to find something wrong, it would be that the place needs a little paint and a little maintenance here and there. Thanks, will stay again.
Tranquil and safe.
We had a wonderful and interesting stay. The farm has a lot of history. The rooms were very neat and tidy. Gerrit and his wife were very welcoming and friendly, she made us a wonderful supper. The setting of the farm where you look into the mountains was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The room was neat and clean, as was the bathroom. Got clean towels every day. I would have preferred a small self-catering kitchen with a microwave oven in the room. Missed wine glasses, there were 3 cups and 3 glasses. There was a fridge, which came in very handy. No TV in rooms. Also no breakfast included in price, had to arrange and pay extra with owner.
Winter offer was excellent value for money. Was able to spend quality time as a family.
