Absolutely stunning property. Comfortable and spacious cottage for the family with a lovely outdoor area. We enjoyed wine and food from the farm. Would highly recommend.
Boschendal is a wonderful location. Its calm and beautiful. Perfect to combine with a stay in Cape Town. Great Nature, nice Cottage and Pool. Also nice for family with kids. Was our second stay. We will come back
This was up there with one of the best stays I’ve ever had. Staff were unbelievable, as is the food and the setting. I can’t say enough how amazing this trip was, I will definitely be back.
Wow - Unbelievable! Room, staff, service- all incredible.
Lovely experiences- wine tasting and horse riding both brilliant.
The Deli and kitchen facilities were an added bonus.
The location is fabulous and the breakfast was genuinely amazing. The cottage was a bit disappointing to be honest - TV was broken, oven was poor and took ages to heat up, and the cottages have been built to face the rear of the cottage in front, so unless you’re lucky you don’t get a view.

Check in process was not great - we checked in late but the keys to the doors were not working and it took over an hour for someone to help us get in.
This property is next level amazing. The food is wonderful, the picnics, various restaurants, to say nothing of the wine. We stayed in a retreat cottage which is amazing and well appointed. The staff are great. I was with my wife and four year old daughter and we loved it all. My daughter did horse tours and we just had a truly perfect experience here staying for a week. It’s magical. The property is expansive and offer a lot of great things to do. The kids club is out of this world. The wine region around is so much fun.
The quality of food and drinks is outstanding. I loved the breakfast buffet which was relatively small with the most delicious products. The staff is super friendly and amazing with kids. The picnic is a must. Would love to return some day. Thank you!!
We spent our last night in Boschendal in a werf suite. We were very impressed, it probably had the best bed on our trip. The cottage was well decorated and very well equipped. The staff were friendly and the food at the Werf restaurant was great. I would recommend.
This was a really wonderful place to stay. We had our own cottage with a fire and an outdoor area overlooking the mountains. The breakfast area also had incredible views. We were given a hamper and wine on arrival all produced on the estate. Highly recommend
Exquisite Setting for a relaxing peaceful getaway. The cottage was absolutely adorable and the fireplace and quaint kitchen only added to the warmth of the family time we shared reconnecting over fine food, good wine and the sound of raindrops on the tin roof! Idyllic!
It was perfect. The pictures are exactly what you get. We loved the farm. Food was excellent in the onsite restaurants. Service was top notch. Can't say anything bad. It was perfect.
We travelled with another couple , and stayed in the cottages amongst the orange groves and vineyards . The views were amazing and it helped us fulfill our travel of a lifetime as we ended our 2 week travels thru South Africa . We had multiple meals at the property and were very pleased . The property is convenient to both Stellenbosch and Fransschhoek. If you go, highly recommend the Fat Butcher for dinner or lunch. Spend a day in both towns . You won’t regret it
