10/10 Exceptional
An incredible property outside of Cape Town. We were there only one night but it would be great for 10 friends to go for the weekend and relax.

Everything was brilliant, there was nothing we disliked. The room, the service, the food, the wine were all the best, with the "add-on" of a tour of the vineyard. Fantastic!

Farm-Idylle an der Autobahn
Diese 38ha große Farm aus der ersten Hälfte des 18.Jahrhunderts liegt etwa 20km außerhalb von Swellendam und wenn man einmal dort ist muss einem klar sein, dass man nur mehr machen kann was die Farm anbietet. Flanieren, spazieren oder sich in der Nähe etwas ansehen ist keine Option.
Als wir ankamen rechnete man nicht mehr mit Gästen und hatte die umliegenden Felder gedüngt, entsprechend roch es auch. Nach einigem Hin und Her bezüglich des Zimmers, das wir uns anders vorgestellt hatten bekamen wir dann ein Upgrade auf die Executive-Suite und diese war wirklich sehr großzügig und schön (in historischem Stil) eingerichtet.
Am Abend starteten wir mit einer Weinverkostung aus eigenem Anbau, die Dame, die uns die Weine präsentierte war sehr nett und kompetent und die Weine waren allesamt von guter Qualität. Auch das anschließend gereichte Abendessen (Lammhaxe) war wunderbar und obwohl wir die einzigen Gäste waren hatten wir die volle Auswahl auf der Speisekarte. Das Essen wurde uns sehr stimmungsvoll vor dem Kamin serviert.
Nun aber zum Hauptkritikpunkt, der Lage des Anwesens. Es liegt genau in einer ansteigenden Kurve einer Autobahn, dort ist Tempo 120 erlaubt, die LKWs geben Gas, um die Steigung zu schaffen bzw. bremsen wenn es abwärts geht. Das bedeutet, dass ab 4 Uhr morgens nicht mehr an Schlaf zu denken ist. Da hilft leider auch kein noch so freundliches Personal und leckeres Frühstück darüber hinweg.

Country style with a difference
Staff excellent. They even cleaned my car without asking which was a lovely surprise as the car was very dusty after lots of off road miles. Very comfortable place to stay. High quality. Accommodation old Victorian style but spacious and high quality. Fair trade business who genuinely care about the product they are selling. Staff are treated with the same principles and are valued in the Jan Harmsgat business.

Fabulous historic guesthouse in the country
Not only is Jan Harmsgat gorgeous , the staff are so friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble. We loved our stay and will be back.

Overall a nice stay
Overall a very nice experience. Only negative is the location next to the road. But it was not as noticeable as I would have thought and I'm quite the anti noise pollution type of person.
Good food even though they tried a bit too hard and dishes were a bit over worked. But plenty of good restaurants in the vicinity.
We stayed with 3 children for 2 nights and got a couple of very charming and spacious rooms adjacent to each other.

Charming country atmosphere
The staff greeted us immediately upon arrival. The chef came out with a delicious description of the dinner he was preparing. The walk to our 'house' was through a grape vine arboretum past the pool. The house was charming and well appointed. The dinner (extra cost) was well worth it and we had a wonderful breakfast. The dining area had a lounge area that was just right for after a relaxing after dinner drink.

Sehr empfehlenswert
Ein wirklich schöner Ort um zu entspannen! Die ursprünglichen Kap Häuser, welche alle modernisiert worden sind, versetzen einen in eine
Andere Epoche. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das ausgezeichnete Restaurant. Die Küche ist schlicht sensationell! Dies zeigt dich beim Abendessen wie beim Frühstück. einzig WLAN hatte so seine Probleme.

This guest house could be so much better
Beautifully situated hotel, it would have helped if they had alerted visitors to the closure of the road from Swellendam! The piped music in the restaurant was somewhat irritating particularly the breakfast selection. The staff were friendly but the service at dinner was extremely slow. We felt that there was nobody there with enough presence to be alert to enough to see when things were going wrong.
