What travellers are saying
- Susan STennessee430 contributionsTammy is absolutely adorable! So suited for her position to host guests as they taste through the wines. We had been here before back in 2015, and the estate is just as beautiful as ever. The wines are really good, especially when you have a very knowledgable host and one with such enthusiasm for their job. Love that beautiful smile Tammy and thank you for a memorable visit!
Be sure to book lunch at Stables Restaurant as well. The food is outstanding as well as the service.Written 2 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Poor tasting experience with robotic server interaction . However really enjoyed the pairingWritten 1 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rich GGreater London, UK38 contributionsReally interesting and definitely see if you can get on one of the hourly free tours as their guides explain the purpose and setup which is the most interesting part.
We were there on a Tuesday, which turned out to be the day the animals have a day off from the experience visits where you can get closest. Still worth it as you’re close on the walk around.
Incredibly cheap at 10R per person, so worth it even for a 30 min leg stretch on your way up to Canopy Tours or another location.Written 7 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Entry fee was R30 pp.
The staff were friendly but at reception the lady did not know much about the various hiking options. The start of the hike was not well marked at all and this needs to be addressed.
We figured out that the hikes seem to have a common starting point behind reception, and eventually found our way to the Protea hike which seems to be the most popular of all the options.
It’s a moderate difficulty 3.1km gradual climb to the halfway point and about 3.4km easy downhill loop back to the car park. Lovely vistas of Strand and Gordon’s bay with the majestic Hottenton Hollands mountains as a backdrop.
There are benches to stop at and enjoy the view. Take enough water, a cap and comfortable walking shoes with grip as the path is quite slippery in places.
It seems there was a fire a few months ago but I think in the next few months the proteas will be in full bloom with a bit of rain. Download the map on your phone from the website or purchase one for R5 at the start.
Highly recommend if you’re in the Somerset west area. Please note, there is a bit of noise from the renovations at the start which may disturb you picnic.Written 25 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our host Levi was very good, and the oils were nice as well. Wines were decent, and the property is very modern and sleek. Olive oils and vinegar are available for purchase along with the wines, of course!Written 2 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HbonlineTetbury, UK16 contributionsA complete must! This was the best surprise as we had been recommended to book a pic-nic but did not know what it entailed or what to expect. I do not want to spoil the surprise so my advice is...just book! But do it early!

- majikseaFairfax, VA774 contributionsGreat wines as always, but a tasting is always about the guy pouring the wine. Our guy had memorized the tasting notes, but that is where it ended, no knowledge, no enthusiasm for the wines, just here you go, next wine. We will be back because we love the wines, but they need better people.Written 7 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JohnboyOxonHenley-on-Thames, UK84 contributionsWhat a great little theatre this is. Sue has moved to a slightly larger premises. Have seen Magicians ( who were more than that) and Beegee tribute act who were great., and all for about £6 or £7. You take your own wine and Sue supplies the glasses. What could be better. We left Strand before we could go to the Neil Diamond soudalike but probably had to be cancelled due to the Virus which is a great shame as Sue has a great thing going and we hope it is still running on our return in Jan 2021.
