It was quiet and serene......it was well stocked with coffee, tea, sherry and snacks. Beautiful farm. Great hosts. Gideon and Carla are super friendly and helpful and always available. They make a difference to your stay. Restaurant on the premises makes it easy and the breakfast was beautifully presented and delightful.

The beds are quite low and the mirrors and basins in the bathrooms quite high for short people.....it was discussed with the host and will be brought to the owners attention. It however made no difference to a wonderful 2 nights spent at De Kombuys

A lovely concept for a quiet retreat on a wine farm. A lot of thought and care had gone into the decor of the rooms which are beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the outdoor bath and shower, sadly the bad weather meant we couldn’t use the pool. Lots of nice little touches like the bottle of wine on arrival, bath bombs, slippers, candles etc. we ate in the restaurant which was also delicious!

There is no wifi in the rooms which I think needs to be more clearly advertised. It wouldn’t normally be a huge problem but there was bad weather during our stay and meant we had a lot of downtime but weren’t able to plan ahead as much for the next day. There is also loadshedding but they provide candles etc in the room.

This is a slice of heaven, and we felt very lucky to have found it. Special mention for the views, incredible food and brilliant indoor/outdoor bathrooms. The villa was so well considered and designed, and the team could not have been more welcoming to our ten year old daughter. Lots of happy families scarcely believing they could still have such a stylish stay, but also plenty of couples enjoying the serenity too. Hard recommend!

A very stylish villa with a small private plunge pool situated in this idyllic wine & Wagyu beef estate with a backdrop of mountains. Great location to explore Oudtshoorn (25 mins), the Cango caves & drive over the incredible Swartberg Pass. The showers (both inside & outside) were excellent, and load-shedding didn’t cause a problem as we were informed about times. Loved meeting the adorable dogs!

Although dinner on the first night was excellent, we were the only guests eating, and staying three nights we chose to eat out for that reason (and few options on the menu). Maybe not a good place for vegans.

The hotel is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, vineyards and grazing Wagyu cattle. It is a magical position in the Klein Karoo. The villlas are beautifully decorated and the attention to detail is really great. Lee was very attentive and very efficient. The breakfasts were beautifully laid out and delicious. The restaurant served the most delicious wagu beef I have ever tasted. This is definitely a place for beef eaters!

All brilliant

The location was beautiful and the finishes to the unit we stayed in just beautiful !! Loved the outdoor bath !! Loads of instant hot water !

I would have loved it to have been offered to heat our little pool before arriving as staying only one night meant other than a quick dip I was able to make use of it as it was a bit too cold .

Amazing accommodation with wonderful staff and great service. We had a fantastic 2 nights and loved every single thoughtful detail in our villa. From the little welcome toy for our kid, the bottle of wine to the different lights that were placed throughout the rooms during load shedding. The meals we had for dinner and breakfast were fantastic - best food we had during our whole trip.

Only a detail but the mattresses were quite hard, thus not very comfy for us.

The plunge pool was amazing and heated to the perfect temperature, make sure to request this with your booking! Staff were lovely and helpful. The setting is beautiful with views over the vineyards and the mountains beyond. The food at the restaurant is fantastic, had one of the best steaks of our lives here, highly recommend.

What was there not to like about De Kombuys? The tranquility and the great location surrounded by the mountains? The intimate setting and the great personalized service and care by the staff? The high quality of all meals? The attention for detail in the nicely designed villa's? Congratulations to De Kombuys owners and staff for this unique package which makes it a destination rather than a stop on the way to a destination.

Nothing that I can think of.

We said we'll be back! Second visit and the villa was perfect: Well appointed and comfortable. The complimentary Chardonnay was amazing and the small plunge pool refreshing after a long drive. The staff is very friendly and The Marbled Wagyu Restaurant serves exceptionally good food - thank you for accommodating us vegetarians. De Kombuys is a beautiful farm with exceptional views and conveniently close to the Cango Caves.

Nothing.
