The location is fabulous and the breakfast was genuinely amazing. The cottage was a bit disappointing to be honest - TV was broken, oven was poor and took ages to heat up, and the cottages have been built to face the rear of the cottage in front, so unless you’re lucky you don’t get a view.

5 star in the wine region
We spent our last night in Boschendal in a werf suite. We were very impressed, it probably had the best bed on our trip. The cottage was well decorated and very well equipped. The staff were friendly and the food at the Werf restaurant was great. I would recommend.

We travelled with another couple , and stayed in the cottages amongst the orange groves and vineyards . The views were amazing and it helped us fulfill our travel of a lifetime as we ended our 2 week travels thru South Africa . We had multiple meals at the property and were very pleased . The property is convenient to both Stellenbosch and Fransschhoek. If you go, highly recommend the Fat Butcher for dinner or lunch. Spend a day in both towns . You won’t regret it

Idyllic Setting For a Family Reunion.
Exquisite Setting for a relaxing peaceful getaway. The cottage was absolutely adorable and the fireplace and quaint kitchen only added to the warmth of the family time we shared reconnecting over fine food, good wine and the sound of raindrops on the tin roof! Idyllic!

This was a really wonderful place to stay. We had our own cottage with a fire and an outdoor area overlooking the mountains. The breakfast area also had incredible views. We were given a hamper and wine on arrival all produced on the estate. Highly recommend
