"Beautifull farm with fantastic views, mountains and sea, sunsets and sunrises.
Interesting guests and nice vibe.
Lovely outdoor deck where guests can relax and enjoy the views.
Room comfortable and nice hot shower, clean.
Blinds cannot be openen properly, broken ties.
Communal kitchen and lounge area available for guests. Unfortunately, untidy, not clean, utensils, crockery and appliances tacky, some broken and not clean.
Poor housekeeping and maintenance of all areas.
Outdoor areas not well...

"The ideal place to stay on the Garden Route as approximately halfway.However more importantly The Trading Place exudes a beautiful calm rustic charm, exemplifed by the host. The most delicious breakfast awaits you at a time of your choce, the bread is homemade. Highly recommended is their preordered pizza in the evening. The host is coincidentally the guide for the river trips, so has exceptional knowledge on the nature of the area. If all this attracts you if you are considering being based in...

"Very friendly and attentative staff, room has what you need, and spacious.
Location is great!
Some positive critique to work on (room 24):
- We were in a street facing room, so there was noice from the street.
- Cold water tap needs to be attended to … seems like no water and then all of a sudden a gush of it.
- mattrasses can be opgraded/replaced, is very thin. (Bedding is very nice) "

"Beautiful views and great potential, but the experience felt rushed and a bit flat. The property sits on expansive land with roaming wildlife, including zebras — a real highlight. There are colour coded hiking routes across the property, which are a nice addition. Staff were friendly, and dinner was delicious — a beautifully cooked beef dish followed by dessert. However, it was a fixed meal with no menu or choice, which didn’t match reviews praising a full restaurant experience. This could be...

"I do not make a habit of writing reviews. For me to do so means that something has either fallen well short of an expected standard or has far exceeded them. This review falls into the latter.
I Spent two nights at this property in September 2025 (suite 6).
If you want to know what a 5-star boutique offering should look like then this is the exemplar.
The interior design and overall finish on the property is superb. Some absolutely exquisite art works and pieces of furniture are complemented by some relevant and inspirational sporting memorabilia. Just stand at the back of the guest lounge area, look out over a stunning seascape and drink in the sheer elegance and finesse of this place.
There are so many additional features including the excellent quality of complementary snacks, drinks and toiletries and the provision of beach chairs and towels. However, it’s more than simply just the provision of beach towels, more it’s the way in which they are presented. Not just laid out on a chair or table but carefully rolled and placed into a wicker carrier that is easily transportable onto the beach. It’s just those simple, classy examples of attention to detail that lifts Beach Villa to another level. Absolutely superb. Thank you.
