Country Houses in South Africa

"Charming colonial style property, beautiful rooms and public areas and wonderful scones and afternoon tea on arrival! Superb restaurant and attentive staff and owner. Highly recommend"

"Stayed here 2/19/24 through 2/21. Location and property are absolutely beautiful, but unwalkable from downtown Franschhoek, so you'll need a rental car or us their recommended taxi service via Whatsapp if you plan to drink lots of wine. Uber was not reliable in this area. The staff were very nice and the breakfast options were good, but limited. I would highly recommend this location. "

"Everything was wonderful!"

"Nice stay on a macadamia farm Lovely Staff Very peaceful and relaxing "

"La Cle is a stunning property with incredible grounds, attentive staff, fantastic breakfast and well-appointed rooms. We had a fantastic stay for our honeymoon and the properties private yet central location in Franschhoek was ideal for walking to restaurants, wine tram etc. Our room was clean comfortable and very nicely designed. Highly recommend and hope to revisit!"

"Excellent stop in Knysna. Very good professional and helpful service. Have shared before and would return "

"The actual hotel is really very good and the rooms are outstanding. Nice grounds, nice pool and the food was also of a decent quality. Now on a road trip around South Africa, you get used to warnings about safety and taking care of belongings. Here we were welcomed with a lengthy delivery on all the steps the hotel was taking and what in turn we needed to do, which even by SA standards appeared a bit alarming, so made you think the surrounding area must be a huge 'worry'. Then we were presented...

"We had bats living in our roof, apparently knowingly by the owner (they built a house for them on the near cabin and they migrated to ours). We had to go to bed and sleep with constraint scratching and sliding noises, that was terrible. When we brought it to the attention of the team, they didn’t even bother apologising. The dinning experience over dinner and breakfast was terrible - worst service I’ve seen for a while and average food (it’s quite expensive considering its surroundings). Stay...

"The staff was very nice and very helpful. The views of the beach and ocean from the hotel and our room were amazing. Even though it was far away, we could see whales out in the ocean from our balcony! The beach was only a short walk away. The breakfast was great. The common spaces were really nice and comfortable. We stayed at 7 different hotels, all very very nice, in our almost 3 week trip of South Africa, and our room here (the Southern Right Suite) was one of the best. Very large with...

"Such a lovely property. Very homey — esp. with the thatched roofs — and the fireplace. We appreciated the welcome drink. One caution is there seems to be missed communications between Expedia and staff regarding reservations. Enjoyed the views, the food and the friendly staff!"

"Well equipped rooms set in lovely gardens in Franschhoek valley. Complimentary shuttle service to town. Very good breakfast Bikes on site to rent and explore the nearby vineyards."

"We loved our stay with Annie. She went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Her lovely accommodations had everything that we needed and was an easy acess point to the Kruger park. Many thanks Annie!"

"Lovely property with phenomenal staff. Very comfortable, clean, safe, and well located in the heart of Constantia wine country."

"Beautiful peaceful location -well kept gardens, very clean accommodation. Hostesses very friendly and welcoming breakfast excellent . Highly recommended "

"Very pleasing with good attention to service including drinks by the pool. Very pretty gardens and a lovely terrasse for breakfast and dinner a great place to stop off if travelling to or passing through Beaufort West. The food is traditional"

"If you are looking for a unique place close to Kruger then look no further! What makes Highgrove House truly magical is probably a well kept recipe. If I had to describe it, I’d say that you’d need to mix the hospitality and welcome of staying with family with a well polished high end establishment. Combine it all with the fact that you’re dining in a period mansion house. Top it up with a good measure of peaceful countryside atmosphere and you have the rough recipe for this unique place....

"Great location. Nicely appointed rooms. Friendly staff. "

"Had a very nice 2 day stay host perfect out door shower fantastic room and views beautiful next time in Addo will book again"

"Delightful setting, delicious wines and amazing setting for breakfast. Walking the vineyard is most relaxing too!"

"Lovely location and friendly staff. "
