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!

We stayed at Boschendal as the first part of a 2-week South Africa honeymoon and we could not have imagined a better place to spend the first few days of our marriage! Our cottage was stunning, comfortable, quiet and luxurious. The breakfast provided was incredible. The service is some of the best we've experienced ever. The property is exquisite. The activities are plenty - hiking, horseback riding, wine tasting, picnicking, etc. This is one of the most special properties I've ever stayed at on vacation and glowingly recommend it to everyone!!

Not worth the money.

We stayed for 3 nights at the end of our trip in SA. I regret spending so much money on this stay. The cottages are all connected with no sound proofing. The retreat is popukar with families with small children , the toddler next door cried every night. By 6.30am both kids would be up and running around, so I never got a good night's sleep. When sitting outside you would hear children shouting, running and crying. I love kids but when I book a retreat cottage I envisioned peace and quiet and there was none to be had. The other problem with the cottage was a fruit fly infestation. I asked several times for a deep clean but all we got was a mosquito candle. I uses the bug spray that was in the kitchen, which helped a bit but than we had dead flies everywhere, including the fridge, which wasn't cleaned. The retreat cottages have a separate restaurant for breakfast. The juice, yoghurt and coffee are amazing but the rest is just okay. 2 mornings there was only 1 kind of bread but no tongs so everyone uses their hands to serve themselves. last morning there were 3. They also have croissants, muffins and scones. The muffins were hit and miss, some are obviously saved from the day before, and were hard and dried out. Fruit salad was tasty, I didn't try the cooked food so can't commend. Last morning the springles were on so no one could sit outside because the tablea all gor sprayed, inside was very noisy with several babies and toddlers, so hard to relax.
Dead flies is the fridge.
Dead flies in the fridge, not cleaned our entire stay.

Great tranquil and beautiful place.

This property is next level amazing. The food is wonderful, the picnics, various restaurants, to say nothing of the wine. We stayed in a retreat cottage which is amazing and well appointed. The staff are great. I was with my wife and four year old daughter and we loved it all. My daughter did horse tours and we just had a truly perfect experience here staying for a week. It’s magical. The property is expansive and offer a lot of great things to do. The kids club is out of this world. The wine region around is so much fun.
