We have been recommending it to most people we know . The hospitality is typical of a family run business,personal but discreet and the cuisine is great. It is just 10 minutes away from the quaint town of Stanford which is steeped in history. We enjoyed being close to nature with loads of walking and mountain bike trails, not to mention the abundant bird life. The only thing we would do differently next time is stay longer! ##### Liane ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 22, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful and peaceful with a great staff Found the place on a whim but wonderful service and good company.

Individuell eingerichtete & großzügige Zimmer (wir hatten die Lion-Suite & die Elephant-Suite). Sehr gutes Frühstück & Dinner im Estate. Nettes Personal, wenn auch manchmal etwas "scheu" , wenn es um den Umgang mit Europäern geht, aber dafür sehr herzlich. Ein Management, das sich kümmert und nachfragt und eine Lage als Country Estate, die gerade jetzt im südafrikansichen Frühling mit einem Meer voll unterschiedlicher blühender Pflanzen begeistert. Wir kommen wieder ( wie schon 3 mal bisher zuvor). ##### BiGood ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 5, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Bocas del Toro](https://www.expedia.ca/Bocas-Del-Toro-Hotels.d6023445.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Villa del Arco Beach Resort & Spa Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Villa-Del-Arco-Beach-Resort-Spa-Cabo-San-Lucas.h1477156.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana CR7 Times Square](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Pestana-CR7-Times-Square.h66871802.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels.d178307.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Fredericton Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Fredericton-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Fredericton-Hotel-Suites.h2062293.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Balconies in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balconies.0-0-d178276-tHotelswithBalconies.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Hamilton Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Island-Hotels.d1522.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels.d179898.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Boutique Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel.0-0-d180002-tBoutiqueHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Prairie Mountain Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Dauphin-Hotels-Prairie-Mountain-Inn.h17885107.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham 1000 Islands/Gananoque](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Gananoque-Provincial-Inn.h575890.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d179995-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels.d178245.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in South Carolina](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-South-Carolina-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d242-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam](https://www.expedia.ca/Amsterdam-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Hotel-Amsterdam.h27473821.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-James-Armstrong-Richardson-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYWG-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Springfield (SGF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sgf/toronto-to-springfield) > > [Flights from Whitehorse (YXY) to Inuvik (YEV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxy/yev/whitehorse-to-inuvik) > > [Philippine Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Philippine-Airlines-Flights.cPR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Incheon (ICN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/icn/calgary-to-seoul) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/fra/toronto-to-frankfurt) ### Packages ### General
