10 stars for this exceptional wine farm. We have just had the delight of spending 3 nights in the Werf cottages with our 5 year old. The cottage was beautiful, with such attention to detail. To the complimentary wine and drinks in the fridge to the tasty snacks. The offering for kids was an absolute treat, from hiring bikes to the 4 hour farm activity which was the highlight for my son, he came back with freshly hand picked eggs and lots of stories. We ate delicious breakfasts which were delightfully not the stock standard fare. The farm shop and deli kept us so very happy. Outstanding salads, pies, fish and chips, soup, pastries and cakes etc meant we didn't have to leave the premises for much. We could honestly have moved in for the month it was such a special time. Would highly recommend a visit, even if its just for the day.…
We decided on Boschendal as the venue for my mom's surprise 60th birthday weekend. Her actual birthday fell in the hard lockdown last year which meant we were not able to celebrate with her as we would have liked. We wanted somewhere special, somewhere beautiful, but also kid-friendly & not too far out of Cape Town...& wow did Boschendal tick all these boxes and more. We stayed in one of the Orchard Cottages - which was luxurious, had a well-thought out layout & an amazing stoep leading out onto rolling lawns, beautiful shady trees & a pool. This spot is surrounded by mountains every way you look & was just so conducive to relaxing. The breakfast at the main farm (which came included with the accommodation) was outstanding - over & above what we were expecting. The eggs benedict was delicious, as well as the fresh juices and coffee. Every single member of staff that we encountered also gave us exceptional service and was so friendly. Such a special weekend!!…
When can we come back? I've honestly never had such a wonderful trip away, despite most of our group having to work for parts of it. Maxwell and the team went above and beyond to take care of our group and nothing was too much to ask, and was always handled rapidly. The house was extremely comfortable and spacious (great for a group social distancing), and the views just never get old. The food is a whole other story. The chefs whipped up some of the best meals I've had in a long time, and we never, ever went hungry. We bought some food from the deli but really didn't need to with the amazing catering from the chefs! We cannot wait to come back!
Incredibly private, spacious, beautiful self catering cottage. Lovely outside private terrace with braai outside and fireplace inside. Absolutely magical stay, excellent service. My favorite of all the wine estates in franschoek next to holden manz, where we got married. Stayed at werf cottages for our engagement party at Boschendal and they are more pricey but absolutely worth every penny! Can't recommend this farm and its gorgeous setting, deli, wine or farm shop high enough, the grounds and rose farm are absolutely out of this world! 20 stars! Definitely be back for a third stay asap! Thank you team Boschendal, you are all fantastic 👏
We had a lovely time! Everyone was so helpful and friendly, and the newly planted gardens behind the cottages are stunning. So many birds! We were delighted by the welcome pack and the complimentary drinks. The accommodation is very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was delicious too. Well done to all the staff, from check in, to the golf cart drivers to the deli staff, and all those who work behind the scenes. It was a perfect break.
