Pre-packed barbecue dinner nd breakfast both first class!

I didn't realise it was quite far from town but not a huge issue.

We booked the room with breakfast and dinner for three nights and felt very comfortable and well taken care of by Chef Phetho and guesthouse host Celeste, they both did an outstanding job! My wife is vegetarian and requires gluten free meals which was not a problem for Chef Phetho at all. All meals were delicious and very well presented! The pool area is nice, the lush, green garden is beautiful especially with the dry, rocky backdrop. Note that this property is not in Clanwilliam town but rather situated 55 km / 1 hour away. The drive there is beautiful over the Pakhuis Pass but for a lengthy stay can become a tedious commute if you base your activities in Clanwilliam. Remember to bring sufficient supplies especially if self-catering.

The dam area and the path to the river is very new as of September 2026 so it all looks barren and a bit like a construction site. Over time this will turn green / look more natural no doubt but currently it is a bit of an eyesore. We found it weird that the resident lodge manager didn't introduce her/himself to us or as much as say hi when nearby as we would have liked to ask a few questions.

Nice get away spot if you want something quiet. The room was modern, clean and beautifully decorated. The surroundings around the rooms was beautiful, but further on, not great. We had dinner and breakfast which was of good quality.

Not much to do around the property. I would recommend the place for a overnight stay and not a weekend getaway. Although good, the dinner was a bit expensive. The reception/ist was not that great. One cannot really do self catering.

Very friendly staff. And the setting is very beautiful and tranquil. And the meals were great

The only drawback is that it is slightly far from town (which we knew when booking)
