Farmhouse58

We had been offered a late arrival on Saturday because there were a lot of guests staying over due to a nearby event. I arrived at the unlit gate and waited 30 minutes for someone to open for me. Parked my car and had to wait for other guests to arrive to take the shuttle to the farmhouse. This was another long trek on a very bad road . On our arrival, our room was stifling - with one small window to open. We found a fan which we plugged in. At this pointed I wanted to go home. There was nothing luxurious or spoiling about our stay- nothing. I thought breakfast would be the redeeming part but sadly it wasn’t. It’s a pretty setting and the staff are charming. I ordered coffee - to be told they only had decaf because “ we ran out on Friday” . It was Sunday. Sourdough bread that needed a hacksaw to get through, no avocado. Tea served in a coffee plunger? I am sure it all started out as a very nice place with good intentions but certainly lacks management.

I had the good fortune of staying here for a retreat…wow, what a place. The staff are professional, friendly and awesome in every way. The space has an uplifting ambience, you feel nurtured by nature. The rooms invoke a feeling of calm and inner peace. The best part….the food…OMG, Pedro’s hummus, simply the best. Every staff member goes above and beyond to make you feel special. Everyone I interacted with wanted so much to put a smile on my face. Special mention to Grace, who kept my room clean and impeccable, Moshe, Lucky, Kgothatso and Pedro at the restaurant attended to all my requests with so much enthusiasm I felt right at home. There are no words to justify the magnificence of this space. Just go and experience it, totally worth it🤩
