51 guests' feedbackThe cottages at Rockwood Farm are beautiful and blend in well with the superb setting of the Cederberg. The bird life is an attraction in itself and well worth the visit. Together with the clean, well-equipped cottage and our friendly hostess, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Magical Rockwood Farm truly is breathtaking, offering so much for all ages. This must be on your bucket list of places to visit. Theresa and her team assisted us with an extra request; a big shout out to them. You are amazing!
Theresa is an excellent hostess. The location is beautiful. Private rock and swimming pools are exceptional. Rolling lawns with mountain surrounds as a backdrop.
Well appointed cottage in a delightful setting. Sadly, rain and cold prevented us from enjoying the garden and outside area. But a generous gas heater and fireplace kept the cottage warm and cosy. Grab handles in the shower and electric blankets would be a big plus.
Perfect setting, everything super clean and lovely to talk with Theresa. She made us feel very welcome.
Very comfortable and relaxing in beautiful surroundings.
This was our second visit to Rockwood Farm! We absolutely love it out here! From pre-check in till checkout, we've been looked after so well! Warm and friendly reception! Extra firewood for the cold, wet weekend was delivered to our door. Thank you, Theresa! Everything you need is in the cottage. Lovely white linen and towels! Extra warm blanket and hot water bottles! They've put on the heaters in our rooms before arrival - how sweet is that! Braaing even in the rain was no problem, Weber on the stoep! It is a lovely cottage and we will see you for sure next year again for the bike race!
The scenery and accommodation were the perfect escape from the city.
Our stay was wonderful, the views are outstanding and we loved the accommodation and the amazing property!
It was very pleasant. Beautiful surroundings, birds, walks and our son could ride his bike.
Great weekend, everything nice and tidy. Hostess very friendly and made us feel welcome. We will definitely go again.
It was an amazing stay in a perfect location. The views are awe-inspiring and the cottage has everything you need. The host is friendly, welcoming and just lovely in general. I would recommend this place to everyone looking to unwind in a place of tranquility.
Rockwood is located in a beautiful place - the light, the enormous blue sky, the red rocks, the openness and nature all around you is magical. The swimming pool at Wild Olive is also fantastic, like a rock pool but even nicer, and the garden and outdoor seating are wonderful. The only thing that was not ideal is the road that passes by very close and where trucks and cars roar. So it's not completely quiet. But the cottage itself and the surroundings are unbeatable.
Fantastic location. Very comfortable and pretty unusual.
The ideal getaway holiday home from the city to take in and enjoy nature again. The accommodation is well equipped and had everything we needed. They are set up for load shedding and the switchover to their own power system went flawlessly during the 2 times there was load shedding. The hiking trails are well marked and the stream and waterfall were running strong thanks to the good rain.
Rockwood Farm is truly amazing. Comforts of home with breathtaking scenery and so much to do for everyone! We had an amazing, memorable family gathering celebrating birthdays and an anniversary. Go and explore the farm, can highly recommend sunrise and sunset walks or just spending time on the verandah soaking in the sun with a good book or playing some games under the trees or on the lawn, take a dip to cool off. The stream next to the house kept our little granddaughter entertained for hours. Maybe consider adding a jungle gym and swings for children.
Nice, neat, good service. Beautiful nature clean.
Environment is very peaceful and quiet. Host, Theresa, is só friendly and helpful. The units are extremely well equipped! No loadshedding! Theresa thought of everything when she did the units. Wildlife, sunset, sunrise, views and walking trails, just amazing. We can't wait for summer to go back!
We stayed at Rockwood Farm a few weeks ago. It was fantastic, the place has everything you need, including hot water bottles, heaters, and extra blankets. A great place in the mountains to get away for the weekend.
Incredible location in the mountains with so much more than just accommodation! Truly one of the best places we have ever stayed. Thank you very, very much!
The cottage is well-equipped and has beautiful views over the dams. Theresa is a wonderful host. We highly recommend Rockwood Farm.
Very nice and tidy unit, incredible scenery with beautiful hiking trails. Our hostess also made sure we were comfortable. Our dog kids enjoyed it just as much. Definitely going back again.
Wild Olive cottage is private, neat and well equipped. Had a great time on the big stoep. Very nice surroundings and grounds are well maintained. Was fun exploring the place. Load power was also not a problem with the 'generator' on site. Would definitely recommend Rockwood farm.
Excellent host. Super clean. Beautiful setting. A fantastic stay.
The farm was beautiful with lovely hikes along the river and other longer routes. Could not fault anything!
Cottage is stylish and comfortable with quality crockery, heaters and fresh flowers to welcome us. Mountains, rivers and waterfalls that can be enjoyed and to just sit on the porch and be. A special experience!
So much to explore in the area. Very comfortable and homey. Loved it.
Rockwood is located on a wonderful piece of land. Water, rocks, well-tended gardens, nature conservation is practiced, very large variety of birds and peace and quiet. Hostess is a wonderful interesting person. Would go again, just longer than 2 nights.
Theresa was a lovely friendly host and the cottage was very comfortable in a totally unique setting. The walks and rock pools were unique and beautiful and best of all our dogs were very welcome.
Our family of 4 had a quick mid-week visit to Rockwood Farm. This was our 2nd visit, and definitely not the last! It's pet-friendly (our Staffie was with us), and the WiFi is fast enough if some work needs to be done. Lovely place!
Staff are brilliant.
The surroundings are breathtaking, lots to do and see on the farm, especially the beautiful variety of proteas and other wildflowers. Totally relaxing, in the serene peace and quiet the farm has to offer. And the pet-friendly option is most welcome.
Wonderful accommodation, very comfortable beds, beautiful location. Loved going down to the river and hearing the running stream in front of the house! We will definitely be back!
Scenic, the location and house met all expectations and more.
Great getaway for family and yound kids with lots of walking trials, grass patches, river and dam.
It is a special view with short walking routes and everything one expects from Sederberge. A wonderful place of rest and relaxation for the soul.
Very nice house and the way the garden is laid out makes you not know there are people around you - No TV was a bonus to just relax.
We had a fabulous and relaxing weekend at Rockwood Farm, the views, the accommodation and the hospitality were all top notch. Lovely facilities and Therese made us feel really at home.
What a stunning weekend in an awesome setting. Rockwood Cottage exceeded all our expectations. The cottage was beautifully clean and tastefully furnished. The setting took our breath away. We had a wonderful weekend relaxing, taking photographs, walking on some of the trails and admiring the beautiful rock formations and reflections in the dams. The gardens and lawns are a delight to behold. Theresa was such a lovely, bubbly person, and made us very welcome. We will definitely be back.
Very nice stay! House is comfortable and well equipped! Even though it was winter, the house was not cold at all! We were warmly welcomed and home was neat and clean. We will definitely go again.
Simple accommodation with nice walking trails for the whole family. We had a nice stay, thanks.
What a beautiful, peaceful, relaxing and good for your soul place. Will definitely stay there again.
Everything was perfect, from the accommodation to the beautiful gardens. Our hostess made us feel at home and welcome and we will definitely be back very soon.
What a great find. The accommodation is great value for money, the host is friendly, and the views are out of this world. There are several hikes on the farm you can do too.
Theresa was very friendly and welcoming. Wild Olive Cottage was beautiful, clean and tidy and our dog enjoyed it too. What I would perhaps recommend is a braai bowl and a pinch grill otherwise there was everything you needed. Would recommend the farm to everyone and the hiking trails with the rock art are very beautiful.
Stunning place. Peaceful. No noise. Just nature. Theresa, thank you for checking up on us. Wild Olive cottage was equipped with everything we needed - even the rock pool is nearby. Definitely going back. A real gem of a place to wind down from your busy life style.
Amazing location, amazing views, amazing short hikes to the rock art and river where there are pools and waterfalls to swim in, and so quiet and peaceful, will be returning.
The farm is beautiful! The cottage is so well equipped. It's the perfect getaway.
I would recommend anyone to Rockwood Farm. We stayed in the Wild Olive cottage. Very clean, private with superb views. Oh yes, and excellent pillows and good quality bedding.
Wow, this is a gem located between the mountains around Citrusdal. The view is fantastic. We had a lovely private garden and patio. Will definitely go again.
Clean, neat, peaceful if you just want to relax.
