Rest at Chabivin

The springbok walking with the dogs of the owner.

The property was not at all what the photos showed. Very run down and no modern finishes. On booking.com it gave the impression that it is a very stylish property.

The space between the units is brilliant.

the setup and location is great. place is modern has everything you need including a dishwasher and coffee maker.

Mattresses were a bit hard. It would have been great if there’s an outside table next to the braai area.

The property is amazing. Excellent location and so quiet. 10 minutes from Stellenbosch and the most amazing scenery from waking up to going to bed. The wood fored hot tub was a massive bonus which we thoroughly enjoyed

Nothing. It was perfrect

The peaceful situation of this unit is wonderful and perfect for a family stay. Sunset view over the vineyards also lovely. Located fairly close to Stellenbosch and well worth being in the countryside

Braai pit was a bit of a challenge

The location was beautiful, very serene and chilled. The mountain view from our cabin was fantastic at the sunset. As the cabin is on the farm, the star gazing experience was incredible! Cabin is very lovely and clean, secluded from other cabins, loved the little touches such as candles, we had all the necessary amenities, could even braai in the evening. We worked remotely and it was important for us to have good Wi-Fi, and it exceeded our expectations! There is also a swimming pool on the property, and it was a great bonus. We very much enjoyed the dogs popping over to say hello.

The shower drainage wasn't working properly. And we would prefer the cleaning ladies to wear masks for extra precautions.

The location

The location and setting was gorgeous! The decor and interior was stunning. The coffee amenities in the morning were perfect!

The hosts were outstanding and I will be recommending Rest at Chabivin to my friends. Would have loved to spent more time here. The view of the vineyards' autumn colours, enhanced by the array of colours of the trees' leaves, with background of the Hottentots-Holland Mountain painted a serene picture and was beautiful. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful setting in the Winelands. Peaceful and serene.

The cottage was stand alone, with modern facilities, with 2 large enough bedrooms, and two bathrooms, one with a bath, one with a shower. The lounge/dining area was big enough for 4 people to sit in comfort, and with a large Smart TV with access to DSTV and any online channels. The kitchen facilities were good, and there is a Nespresso machine with enough pods for several cups of great coffee each a day. We were riding a 2 day mountain bike race, and they allowed us a late checkout on the Sunday so we could get back and shower before heading home - a nice touch as that put them under pressure for the next guests, much appreciated.

One of the chairs had slightly wonky legs, but that was pointed out to the staff who said they would address it immediately, and I believe them. Apart from that, it was perfect for our short weekend away.

The actual accomodation was better than on the website.

Possibly the couch could be more comfortable.

The accommodation was amazing and so well equipped. I wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the outside entertainment area.

Retreat from buzz of town

Nothing really

Quite spacius house, quite area.

Cottage very dark, garden could have been used as a terrace but furniture around the fire place dirty. Found the pool by accident, some advice on that would have been great. Aircondition & fridge quite noisy. Garden messy when we arrived.

Noisy neighbours

It was a lovely stay, thank you.
