「Basic safari hotel. Institutional catering. Unfortunately, the Safari vehicles were worn out and very uncomfortable. They had not replaced the shock absorber which made the drive very uncomfortable. Convenient to Cape Town, but clearly not the right bush for giraffes which had their heads permanently bowed due to lack of any trees.」
「Extraordinary place. If you have any love of gardens, horticulture, farm-to-table food, or just general wholesome living then you will enjoy it here. The gardens and farm are not a performance - at over 2000 acres and something like 700 staff they somehow manage to seamlessly blend luxury with genuine production, and the variety is extraordinary. There is true vision behind this project.」
「This was one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed. It was scenic, top service, amazing meals and in a great location. The most important part was the staff. They are the most welcoming, kind and considerate staff. I had a bit of a stomach flu and the entire staff was going out of their way to help me. They made me ginger tea and the chef made me chicken soup. It was so nice. I highly recommend this property and Franshhoek as a place to visit. 」
「This place is a favorite of ours, and we keep on returning. You are well taken care of by the staff and owners, the grounds are very beautiful and the it is a quiet oasis.
It is easy to get an uber to explore some of the stunning restaurants and vineyards close by. If you want to stay at the hotel all day, they offer great food as well upon requsest」
「Wow this place is just amazing the only downside we only had one night we did look to extending while there. We had a three bedroom villa it was huge and our own pool which was a bit cold. The food was amazing it has two restaurants one of which caters for children and will cook what you want, We loved the fact you could go for lunch and the chef comes out and cooks what you want that’s what you call service. Werner and all the staff are very friendly and made our stay so memorable. Will...
「Huge room, perfect if juggling WFH as I was. Nice kitchenette, all mod-cons. Spacious balcony. This place is above regular hotel standard, by size! The food in nearby Club house was superb. 」
「Nuwerus was one of the "fortunate" yet "unfortunate" places in Paarl that was "hit" hard with the recent fires. It was so close to the main buildings that I can only descibe it as hair-raising. Yet although you can see the fire damage to the gardens etc the service was once again spot-on and the facilities as clean and well appointed as we are used to. The owners really does care about the customers as well as the property. Well done is all I can say. Already booked my next stay.」
「Die Gemeinschaftsterrasse mit Ausblick in die Weinberge war toll. Es gab Liegen und Sitzgruppen. Wir hatten die Unterkunft mit zwei Schlafzimmern gebucht und waren allein. Das war gut, denn andernfalls wäre es etwas eng auf der Terrasse geworden. Alles wirkt ziemlich beengt. Wie oft in Südafrikanischen B & Bs waren die Zimmer auch hier etwas vollgestellt und deshalb eng. Das Frühstück war recht gut, dier Service nett und aufmerksam. Insgesamt haben wir für den Preis und in Anbetracht der guten...
「Durch die vielen gemischten Bewertungen waren wir etwas skeptisch. Aber das war unbegründet, denn Karoo 1 ist fantastisch und hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Anlage ist in hervorragendem Zustand, Räume und Badezimmer sind großzügig gestaltet, geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Die vielen Skulpturen auf dem ganzen Gelände und die Gemälde sorgen für eine besondere Atmosphäre. Die Ruhe und auch der Felsenpool tragen zur Entspannung bei. Der Service ist freundlich, zuvorkommend...
「Very beautiful place with very welcoming owners.
This break at the end of the working day was very relaxing.
For Europeans not used to loadshedding, bring mosquito repellent to protect yourself from their arrival when the fan stops!
This will not stop me from coming back each time I will visit Paarl. I will then also be able to dine at the restaurant, which I have heard so much about.」
「Overall we had an excellent stay, however a couple of things. Other guests didn't respect the no noise after 10 PM rule and were quite loud which made it very hard to sleep as obviously in tents like these you hear everything. Also, we were struggling to enter the property when checking in. We were supposed to use the code for the gate received by email, but we weren't able to check our email and we were stuck for half an hour, trying to call the emergency number to no avail. Luckily some other...
