great breakfast at the terrace overlooking the garden

we were invited for a glass of wine upon our arrival; when checking out we were charged Rand 190, about Euro 10; this is more than the cost of a bottle of this same wine at the best restaurant in Clanwilliam; very disappointing and took off some of the joy (not for the money but just for being invited and then having to pay an excessive amount)

We spent three days at Yellow Aloe as a couple. Previous reviews have already said everything positive and encouraging about the accommodation. We agree with all of them 100%. Particularly worth mentioning is the friendliness of the staff and the extraordinary and wonderful atmosphere in the adjacent garden, which was designed with great attention to detail. You feel completely at home. There is absolutely nothing negative to say. We can give it a 100% recommendation. On a future stay in the region, we will definitely book Yellow Aloe again.

What a stunning oasis in Clanwilliam! The hosts were very friendly, and accommodating, and Joseph an absolute gem. Being able to sit outside and enjoy the garden was a treat. And in summer I am sure the swimming pools would be most welcome. We made use of the lounge for drinks, and the kitchen had all we needed for our snacks. The breakfast was amazing and the highlight of both mornings was the freshly squeezed orange juice.

The shower pressure was very low, especially with the hot water, which made rinsing my hair not that easy unless I used only cold water.

Unbelievable wonderful garden - you could sit all day without leaving the place. Great breakfast and - in case you don‘t go for the limited dinner options in town - a very good dinner prepared by Joseph. The rooms are spacious in an old renovated long house. Two pools - we had one on our own to relax and drink a bottle of wine. You sit there in the morning watching sunbirds rooming around, look into the garden, drink a cappuccino and enjoy the breakfast- how can a day start any better?

Cute property and gorgeous flowers around the property and also cost and homely environment.Host were really helpful recommending us so many places to go around. Staffs were nice and helpful too. My wife is a vegan but there was no vegan options at all so we bought something from spar nearby and sorry I forgot the name but the guy who served us at the breakfast happily prepared them for us. I highly recommend.

Nothing really. may be some vegan options would be great

Quirky property with an amazing garden. We stayed in the longhouse (early 1800’s) , very spacious room with comfortable bed. Felt very secure. Breakfast was superb - served at your table on the porch or in the garden. Plenty of shops and a few restaurants, which Michel helped us with. The Sevilla Rock art trail is a must - truly awe-inspiring. Had a guided heritage walk and visit to the little museum - fascinated stuff.

The owners and their staff were very welcoming and attentive. We appreciated that dinner was arranged for us despite us arriving quite late without having made dinner arrangements beforehand. The cottage with adjoining rooms for us and our youngish children worked perfectly. Youngest enjoyed the pool. Breakfast was delicious. The garden is exceptionally beautiful and peaceful. We loved our short stay.

Michel & Cheryl were lovely hosts. The room was clean and comfortable, a little bit dark inside but that is because of the build of the old property. The garden was like an Aladdin's cave, lots of quirky ornaments dotted here and there and beautiful plants, it was lovely and peaceful. Joseph looked after us and served delicious breakfasts which were on the terrace overlooking the garden. Cheryl also suggested we went to 'The Sevilla Rock Art trail' and we thoroughly enjoyed it, a stunning drive and a lovely walk. We enjoyed our stay.

Nothing really to dislike.

AC unit to heat the room & electric blanket on bed - it was cold at night in Clanwilliam. Good quality king-size bed with good linen on it. Tasty breakfast, served at the table, made to order. Complimentary sherry - Clanwilliam was cold while we were there and the sherry was most welcome. Good wi-fi (although it didn't work during loadshedding). Pretty & interesting garden. Parking inside the property.

Small bathroom - from photos on the website it seems that other rooms do have better bathrooms. The water took a long time to become hot in the shower. No DSTV (does have Netflix). A lot of cold cement floor to walk on. No backup power during loadshedding. Just one armchair in the room - a second one would have been nice.

Beautiful gardens - a little oasis . Cheryl, Joseph and the Team were charming, friendly and helpful. Service was excellent. The setting is peaceful and has many features for quiet time and also 2 swimming pools for convenience. The many water features attract a wide variety of beautiful birds. We had a wonderful stay.

Nothing to report
