What travellers are saying
- Jurgen BBrussels, Belgium2 848 contributionsPerhaps we expected too much after all those rave reviews and being the only wine estate we visited, but we were underwhelmed. Anyway: in absolute: we loved it! The gardens, the restaurant and the wine tasting, although the ones we tried weren't exactly my - well - my cup of tea.Written 13 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lazenbysPinetown8 contributionsThis little gem was only 4km from the suburb in which we were staying. Very affordable with ample parking and friendly helpful staff.
Most of the walks entail a fair uphill climb but wow was it worth it.
We noticed that there is involvement of local community members which is awesome. Our only issue was the map which we purchased at the office for R5. It could have been better as we were a bit confused on the various routes especially at the start of the trails. We did pass other first-time hikers to the reserve who expressed the same sentiment.Written 10 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They encourage people to stand up and say not to monkeys as pets, and seem to really care about them.
Most monkeys roam around freely, while we walk through an enclosed walk way. There are some in smaller enclosures due to those monkeys either not getting along with others or they used to being an only “pet”, or various other reasons. While I do not like seeing animals in enclosures I understand Monkey Town tries to rehabilitate and look after those that cannot return to the wild.
We paid R100 to enter, and would definitely recommend people visit as the facilities seem to need some TLC and by visiting it could help them raise funds to improve the facilities. They accept donations as well. There is also interaction with squirrel monkeys at an additional cost of R80. I however did not do this.
There is also a water park next to it which people can enjoy at an additional cost.Written 28 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nice place, with a beautiful view and delicious wines. I recommend.Written 21 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.

- 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! You will not be disappointed> A huge thank you to Moses for making the whole experience even better!Written 30 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JohnboyOxonHenley-on-Thames, UK94 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.
