You won’t regret it. In fact, you’ll come back. If not for the stay, for the restaurant service. It’s clean, well equipped rooms and the restaurant has excellent service. The restaurant on its own deserves a 5 star.

As a seasoned business traveller for over 30 years, I can honestly say that the Summerhill Estate is one of the finest places I´ve ever stayed at. The owners and staff are the friendliest people you can hope to meet. They take immense pride in their establishment and it shows. The rooms are delightful, everything is spotlessly clean, the service is excellent, the exterior setting of the garden & pool area is relaxing and well cared for and the interior designs with emphasis on African art and wood carvings is the ultimate word in class and great taste. Well done to the owners and staff for this absolute gem of a place.

Excellent food. We had the 7 course meal and chose our own drinks. The food was spectacular and so original. We will definitely be back again for another meal. Come hungry and with time to spare as it is 3.5 hour affair. Mozambican musician adds a wonderful atmosphere too!

Visiting The Livingroom at Summerhill is always a delight! Incredible combinations that burst with freshness and flavor. Each mouthful is a celebration of all things local; each scent perfectly complementing the next. The full tasting menu is certainly the way to go. As the menu changes regularly, you’ll be sure to taste a once-in-a-lifetime dish each time you visit. You’ll be spoilt for choice with an extensive and highly impressive wine list, expertly recommended according to your taste and variety preference. Warm ambience, beautiful handmade crockery, amazing food - dining Johannes, Johanna and Christine is always a pleasure. We look forward to visiting again (and again and again!) The Livingroom at Summerhill is an absolute MUST visit if you’re looking for fine dining at its finest. 5 stars every time.…
