"Nice property but they weren't very accommodating. We had asked if we could bring breakfast back to the room for another guest who wanted to sleep in a little bit and they said we couldnt because they were concerned that the food would sustain the sheets. Very strange response to be honest. Especially since they have a dining table and chairs in the room. Also there wasn't much variety for breakfast or many options for dinner "
"There are renovations which is a bit disturbing. There should also be bathroom facilities at the pool. Very beautiful voews at the pool area. Staff nice and friendly."
"Glamping at its best. Well equipped kitchen, the outdoor hot tub was great, comfy beds, great shower. Beautiful settings, relaxing atmosphere. All great. "
"We stayed here 30 years ago and it was great to be back in beautiful Paarl. New owners are very friendly and so helpful... their little doggie snowy so sweet.
Its a listed building and having breakfast in the old part of the house is so cool. That is a true South African breakfast. Delicious. Never tasted a eggs bennie that good."

Boschendal Farm Estate
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely spectacular — our favorite stay in South Africa!
This has been by far the most spectacular place we stayed during our trip to South Africa. The customer service was incredible — every member of the team at Boschendal Farms made us feel so welcome.
Our kids loved the day camps at the Tree House. Andrea, the kids’ club director, is phenomenal. Our children couldn’t wait to go back each day! She taught them about farming, composting, how to pick fruit, and even led them on hikes. They had cooking lessons, horse riding, and so many hands-on experiences.
We couldn’t have asked for a better family experience. Huge thanks to the entire Boschendal team — you made this unforgettable!"
"More than standard extras in the room, i.e. large bottle of cold water in the fridge, coffee/tea for more than 1 cup, ample glasses. Loved the private stoep. Excellent service, walking the extra mile with a smile. "
"Exceptional service from the friendly staff across every aspect of our stay. The property was peaceful and spacious. Providing an excellent place to slow down and rest."
"Absolutely a fantastic place. A bit off the beaten path, but dead center of the best of Stellenbosch wine country. Great service. Only 10 suites in the main building, so very quiet and relaxing. The spa is beautiful. The food is fantastic and healthy. Yes, it can be both. Great attention to detail. We will be back."
