But it is a little far out from the centre of the town. I live in the western cape and george is good for business maters, shopping for things you do not vind in the smaller dorpies and also for medical maters. This was too far out fore. I was told that there is very good and at good prices... More

A wedding anniversary was made extra special by our stay in this beautiful, historic homestead filled with art and antiques and the feel of yesteryear. The hostess is warm and welcoming, the breakfasts very satisfying, the garden quite beautiful and of course Juno the bullmastiff is very precious. Will definately make this a frequent stop in our travels. More

We enjoyed our stay, but I think there better BnB's to stay at. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. Our bathroom was minute! I did not think after Paris I would be able to find a smaller bathroom- until now. Breakfast was good. More

This is now my third stay here and I would stay at no other B&B in the George area. The welcome from your host and their knowledge of the local area would be enough. Add to this the ambiance of the rooms plus the wonderful breakfasts you will have are all above 4****. Not to mention the Gardens which are... More

My partner and I stayed at the Fairview Historic Homestead during our visit in George. We stayed in the superior room on the ground floor. The room was very beautiful! We love the attention to detail! The bed was quite comfortable. We loved the special touches like fresh milk in the fridge and the welcoming sherry. If you stay in... More

You'll be happy to hear that the water pressure at Fairview has doubled since you were here ! A not-so-clever plumber fitted a 200kpa pressure valve to our new 400kpa geyser, but the problem has been resolved. More

My husband and I stayed at the Fairview Historic Homestead on 21 and 22 December. From arrival and seeing the absolutely beautiful gardens to leaving after one of the best guest house breakfasts ever, we were totally thrilled by the venue & our hosts. The gorgeous antique furniture and individually decorated rooms full of the owners' personal knick knacks made... More

Wonderful breakfasts at the poolside with a super view of the mountain. Great evening drinks and chats at the fireside with her and her husband Desmond , who is such an interesting gentleman... More
