Couples looking for a unique experience
We had this amazing drive through the estate with a guy named Kobus, who shared his deep knowledge of the area. The views were stunning, and we made a real connection with him in just an hour! !
It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but honestly, it was still acceptable for what we experienced.

great facilities , but dining needs improvement
The facilities here were truly impressive, offering countless activities across the expansive property. I particularly enjoyed the cozy fireplace in the suite, which created a warm atmosphere during our winter stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights. I also loved the local seafood served at dinner. it was fresh and full of flavor!
Although the dinner options were excellent, the breakfast spread felt a bit lacking in variety.

Beautiful. Magical. Stunning.
We stayed 3 nights in a farmhouse suite. It was stunning—great attention to detail with a comfy bed and private bathroom. Loved the fireplace for cozy nights. The grounds are beautiful with gardening, a spa, and activities like cycling and canoeing. Breakfast and dinner were homemade, using farm produce, though dinner could be better. Staff were exceptionally friendly and always helpful.

Absolutely stunning estate with exceptional farm-to-table delights. Local seafood was a true standout—fresh and bursting with flavor. Plus, the comfortable, clean rooms and friendly staff topped off a fabulous experience. Can't forget the fireplace—perfect touch for cozy nights!
While the breakfast spread could use more variety—think warm pastries and pancakes—everything else still sparkled. Also, a little more bubble wrap for those precious olive oil souvenirs would go a long way!

missingWrote a review on 11 Aprbeautiful gardensheated poolunique activitieslimited dining
Stunning surroundings with beautiful gardens and a diverse array of activities, from boat rides to guided tours around the farm. The heated pool, hot spa, sauna, and salt room provide a unique relaxation experience right outside your door.
Easter weekend created a bustling atmosphere, leading to long queues for meals and activities. Dining options felt limited with only three menu choices each night, causing repetitiveness for longer stays. The spa had a slightly damp smell, and amenities like soap in bathrooms were lacking. The bread-making course didn’t meet expectations, as it involved only assembling toppings on pre-made bread. Morning coffee service was painfully slow, adding frustration to an otherwise enjoyable experience.
