Room needs some updating for example an old TV set is in the room. Water pressure is very low to shower in. The WiFi disconnected and stayed disconnected. A fan would be useful as the room becomes quite hot.

Firlane House is a quiet, charming retreat into the elegance and luxury of a bygone era. The warm welcome, attention to detail, sumptuous room and bathroom, complimented by luxury bath products, made for a stay of superior quality. The verdant garden is a haven of lush growth and peaceful reflection. It will be our first choice should we return to Bredasdorp. My only regret was that our stay was not longer.

Was a very comfortable stay. Reception at the hotel was good and a lovely welcome. Large comfortable room. Breakfast was taken across the road and well presented and plenty of choice. On Sunday was taken in the hotel itself again very good. Feel the swimming pool should not be mentioned at all as quite small and hotel visitors are able to use the leisure pool next door. Apart from that would certainly recommend for a short stay.

Very disappointing. No back up power, imagine in this day and age in RSA! Breakfast is not served on the same premises, so you have to walk to another location to have breakfast. No on-site dinner service. Restaurants in the area are limited. Not worth the rate at all.

Disliked · There is no reception area or someone to check you in. During loadshedding there are no solar / generater at the venue we got back to our room at 8 and it was pitch black. We had a key for the front door to let us self in and out. Our curtain in room 8 was torn we had to ask for milk for our coffee the next morning. There is no box or something to leave the keys in and you can't leave it in the room when you check out as you have to let yourself out of the venue so qe had to go back to drop the keys. The price for one night did not justify our stay.

What a wonderful surprise in the heart of Bredasdorp to discover this gem - beautiful rooms and a stunning garden area with a lovely pool.

These old majestic houses are simply spectacular.

I will definately stay here again.

Sadly the worst review I have ever had to write.
Perhaps the circumstances were against us but this was the poorest of all the places we have stayed in on our holidays to South Africa. A shame as at first sight the house is attractive, has nice gardens,quietly situated and had good parking.
We arrived on a public holiday week end. The whole town seemed to be involved in a local wedding and we were told when we arrived that the bride and groom were staying that night - but had asked that no other wedding guests should stay. We had no idea of this when booking of course. The manager (Dirk?) was apparently away for the week end and upon arrival we had to telephone for assistance. The owners daughter gave us a nice welcome but then returned home. We basically rattled around in a large empty house for the rest of our stay.
We had reserved Tswana room and had asked for bath gowns as an extra.
Tswana room is dark and basically overcrowded with dark furniture. It was also very very dusty - mainly in the carpets. We suffered from the dust each and every time we disturbed anything. Light bulbs did not work and on day 2 our expired shower gel was not replaced.
The balcony was large but tired. The bathroom was strange in so far as it had windows around virtually half of it, the shower was OK.
We enjoyed our scrambled egg and bacon at breakfast.
We were charged R 150 each, per night (total R 600) for the bathrobes on top of the R2360 for the room. A very expensive experience and undoubtedly our most disappointing in four years of coming to South Africa.
Unfortunately we were not able to express our views to anyone (only the kitchen staff there) when we left.
Such a shame. We did however enjoy visiting Arniston and Cape Agulas as well as the Shipwreck Museum and enjoyed dinner at Julians.

We booked it for one night going through bredasdorp. Next time we would not stay a) in bredasdorp and b) in this place. There is literally no restaurant for dinner in this town and the Firlane House used to be nice - probably 15 years ago. Since then there seems to be no investment made at all. Stuff looks very worn out and parts of the room and bath were dirty. We would not stay there again. However the staff was nice.

The hotel is the ideal place to stay when visiting Cape Agulhas. I love the design. Its a kind of colonial style. The breakfast on a Saturday is not served at the place but a restaurant across the street. ( same owner) THIS was an incredible good breakfast.
We will certainly be back!

"situated in a quiet area our room was on ground floor and to be honest we could hear the very loud TV from the room above. But we were near the front door and dinning room."
