Diemersfontein Wine & Country Estate

The staff was absolutely the highlight of our trip. Feom Receptionist to Waitresses to Cleaners. They we're always friendly, loveable and helpful For parents, and potential customers, we love people treating our children with joy and love

Diemersfontein is child friendly. Or so it says. If there's a jungle gym, and even a cot on request it should be child friendly. On our first night at the restaurant we we're asked to leave the restaurant to sit outside because someone complained about my 2 year old being too noisy, but she was outside most of the time. Whether you're a tourist or local, the money we spend is the same. For this reason, I wouldn't travel for work again or send my team which I hoped too do.

Breakfast was delicious, with a fair amount of choice. Sausages were fab! The fruit bowl was a yummy, healthy option too. The garden rooms are all located in the lush, idyllic grounds of the manor house. The pool is secluded, painted an unusual blue, and a necessity for cooling off after a day in the sun. We sat out in the garden every night and were visited by a variety of birds, bats and even a couple of deer - beautiful! There was good wi-fi (should you need it) and also a generator, which meant that there was no load shedding. Dinner was available in the restaurant every evening. Wonderful choice and super food. Our complimentary wine tasting was informative and tasty! (We bought 6 bottles!) We'll come back as soon as we can!

The toilet seat was a little wonky!!

Breakfast was delicious! Surroundings are beautiful and staff was very friendly. Load shedding started at 20:00 but then generator kicked in so no load shedding in our accommodation.

We wanted to do the wine tasting at 16:30 on the Saturday but they started the last at 16:00. When I phone I mentioned that we will be there between 4 and 5 which I was told was fine. Also wanted to buy wine and preserve on Sunday morning before our departure 08:30 but Deli and winetasting only opened at 09:00 and restaurant could not facilitate the sales.

The rooms were super with extremely comfortable beds, and blockout curtains. Bese night of sleep I have had in a long time. The guest brochure is also the best brochure that I have seen before. The scented hand and body lotions were a nice touch.

The coffee options were sad in the rooms, just instant Nescafe classic. For such a great tea selection, I would have hoped to have better instant coffee / disposable ground coffee options.

The staff is exceptional. It must be the culture instilled by the owner. They definitely go the extra mile. My husband slipped and had a nasty fall on the way to breakfast and the care and empathy was palpable.

The access to the rooms are difficult especially after the rains. Road is inaccessible and dangerous. Will be great if they can pave or tar the road.

The highlight of our stay were the stunning gardens and swimming pool. I was not expecting this, the gardens were stunning. The cottage was also very cute albeit a little small.

The restaurant was a bit of a let-down. The food was very nice, however the setting felt a little disjointed and the service was slow and rather poor.

Beautiful setting with stunning views. Excellent breakfast and food at restaurant. Swimming pool and gardens were lovely. Very good value for money.

The cottage could have been cleaner - in particular the floors both inside and on outside patio. Rubbish left on back terrace before we arrived and never removed.

Lovely farm, friendly and helpful staff, great lunch and breakfast at the restuarant, beautiful wines

Booking.com listed an 'hot tub' in the facilaties. This was not available.

Peaceful. Staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Clean property. Beautiful gardens and pool. Wine was delicious.

On Friday morning, the staff were cleaning the garden. Loud noise from the chain saw from before 8am, not at all what you want to wake up to. Sprinkler system was on for hours, making the pathways slippery and we would get sprayed by the water whenever passing. The carpet in our room was soaking wet near the window.

Beautiful garden setting Spacious rooms Delicious breakfast Friendly staff

Braai a bit small Bed very hard and short for long people Aircon did not work in the room
