EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews Posted on Google mary-jane semakaleng matlakalaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful time at Glen Oakes Wood cabin. The privacy given to us was great. The cabin had everything we needed, the fireplace warmed up the whole place. We enjoyed the sound of the water flowing outside, birds chirping and the clean air. We would love to visit again to experience the place in summer time.Posted on Google Retha ErasmusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful farm close to Cape Town in a wonderful area. The wooden cabin is a great stay for a couple that need some time out. We relaxed in the hot tub under the stars, enjoying the night sky through the birch tree branches. Wonderful. Enjoyed walks on the farm and conversations by the fireplace. We enjoyed the pigs, sheep and gentle cattle and spotted a wild cat.Posted on Google Carmen WilliamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best time staying at Glen Oakes. Can not wait for our return. The hikes are such fun and the ambience of the Wooden cottage is amazing. A little hidden gem 20 minutes away from home - you will see us again!!!Posted on Google Ruth TesnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed at the Wood Cabin and it was an absolute gem — already our new favourite go-to spot. Tucked away among the oaks and poplars, it felt completely secluded and so peaceful, exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend away. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay — from the fireplace and hot tub to the little stone pool by the stream. Communication before and during our stay was excellent, which made everything feel effortless. We're so grateful this beautiful space was available to us. We will most definitely be back!Posted on Google Anina BothaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Sol cabin lived up to its name - in the middle of a freezing Cape Town winter, we managed to soak in the sun! The location is beautiful and remote, you feel as if you are 'alone in nature'. The marked routes on the farm is perfect for trail running. We made good use of the kol-kol as well as the fireplace when it started raining on the Sunday. Although you feel "away from it all", there are some truly exceptional wine farms (and restaurants) down the road. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a rest & recharge breakaway!Posted on Google jessica delsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A group of us stayed in the Stone House and WOW!! Hot tub, indoor and outdoor fires, multiple chill areas that all offer something different. Clean and the linen was so comfy! We explored the farm - beautiful dam, walk/run trails and we checked out the new SOL cabin which is beautiful and camping site with every single little nook and corner being so thoughtfully planned for the guests needs. Not just your normal campsite!Posted on Google Natalie WokerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A wonderful experience at Stonehouse, kid friendly (although there is an open pool) but lots of space to play and entertain. Divine outside entertainment area, multiple places to eat meals. Good, clean, farm air and we will definitely be coming again.Posted on Google Orkney MonyelaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We enjoyed our stay in the Wood cabin this weekend. It provided a much needed break from the busy city life. The tall oak trees towering the cabin stood tall like guards, singing birds in the quiet morning, moonlight in the still of the night, magical flowing stream, the absolute privacy are unparalleled. We will certainly come back!Posted on Google Caitlin HansloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The wood cabin was well insulated to the cold and the fireplace made it extra cosy. It’s situated inside a forest so no view but must be lovely in summer. Expect a noisy night if it’s windy as branches and acorns fell on the roof but with no wind you can hear the stream trickling along. Wood fire hot tub in a forest with a full moon shining through the branches was amazing. Cabin floors are noisy when walking on. No microwave. 7-10 minute walk up a hill to stone cabin and campsite. Low clearance cars can just about make it up the hill.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
