The staff, location, views and rooms are excellent. Sandstone, well appointed, comfy etc. The Farm is in the process of changing from a permanent restaurant, to managing this in-house. They offered a basic breakfast which was fine. They have plans to upgrade this so as to meet further guest needs and I am sure they will accomplish this over time. The staff are excellent and I'm sure will make it happen. There are many restaurants in Clarens close by as alternatives. Cooking facilities in the room are limited.

We were there over VERY cold weekend, and the room we were in was cold oil heater and built-in fireplace (bring your own wood or buy in Clarens). There were electric blankets so bed was100%. Would have been nice to be able to buy wood at the farm for convenience. The unit (Pintje) would be stunning in warmer weather

A beautiful warm welcome, made us all feel at home and it started the trip off. This really set the tone for us the entire weekend. The home was neat and well organised, fresh and full of everything we could need, actually more than many other establishments I have previously visited. We actually carried more than needed(basic items). The property is peaceful, clam and just what was displayed online(however the house is way bigger than what it seems online). The manager is a complete darling, she really made our stay amazing, thank you so much for the constant attention and the chats, I will be back here. The house is a work of art, Its admirable, lots of different pieces to admire. The location was perfect, not to far in and not far away from the town, very easy to find. I was actually surprised by the breakfast as I did not read up on that and many establishments do not really offer this, so it was a lovely addition. (Maybe some halaal options would be good).

To be honest everything was well organised and we did not lack anything, it was well equiped and exactly what we needed.

Beautiful surroundings in the Drakensburg. We took our dogs with. They got on well with the owners’ dogs.

Breakfast is served independently at the restaurant on site. They say between 8AM and 10AM. Both days they were not open by 8AM. The first morning we had to be in Clarens by 9AM, so we did not have time to wait. On the second morning, we waited more than half an hour without anyone saying anything to us, so we left. I must say, this was a let down on the trip.

The facilities were beautiful as well as the scenery. We really enjoyed the room, and the breakfast was amazing! It is close enough to Clarens so you can go walk around and enjoy the restaurants, but it is isolated enough to feel intimate and quiet. We will definitely be back in the future!

We have no complaints. We enjoyed every aspect of the stay!

It was a wonderful stay in a beautiful serene setting. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Hannetjie gave us all the necessary information we need before we arrived. Will definately go back and recommend it to everyone who need a break. The towels were soft and fluffy.

Nothing

This was my 2nd stay at Linwood, the previous time was in summer. It's gorgeous in winter too. The room is gorgeous and the bath is perfect for long hot baths. Hannetjie is a gem, such an amazing host and my dog and I felt totally at home there.

Even with the wall heater and fire going the room is cold, so pack warm clothes. The lighting in the room is quite dim.

- Very well located 6km outside Clarens on Fouriesberg Road - Excellent accommodation and value for money - thank you Hannetjie - Good restaurant located on the farm - great service from Charmaine and Grace. Delicious food.

- We liked everything about the farm - Our only suggestion (given load shedding in SA) is that solar or generator be considered. That said, they do have gas

The place is gorgeous and the room very tastefully decorated. The views of the mountains are breathing! The alpacas are a delight, as are the turkeys, ducks, chicken and bunnies. It is very dog friendly, there were no rules imposed and the residents dogs are very well socialized. Just note there is no fence around the units. We were greeted by Hannetjie, she is absolute gem and made us feel so welcome.

The one ply toilet paper doesn't quite fit with the luxury feel of the place. There is no lighting over the bath and kitchen area. As others have noted a tv would be great. The units are close together so noise from other visitors wasn't pleasant.

Location and hospitality with all features for a quiet self catering break

Flies on farm and lack of amenities to sort that out. Staff cleaning also not always on point. Don’t bank on a great breakfast

Great place to stay in the Free State, Tannie took great care of us and we were told of all the amazing things we could do in the town. We’ll definitely be going back with our broader family. Beautiful place and wonderful people. Just wow!!

Nothing!
