Sadly we only stayed one night (April 2013). We would definitely go back and recommend Surval to anyone visiting the area. The rooms are beautifully decorated with real attention to detail with chocolates and a little teddy for our youngest daughter. We arrived late in the evening and the staff kept the restaurant open late for us. The food was... More

We didn't stay here but had a very long and lazy Sunday lunch here. What a wonderful hidden gem! The food was superb, excellent quality, very good value and a great menu. The service was very good. They couldn't do enough for us and made our toddler son feel very welcome. The play park helped too. The environment is just... More

We were lucky to have spent 3 days at Surval and were treated like absolute royalty from the minute we arrived! The rooms are fantastic, the setting beautiful and the staff are incredible just to top it off! Nothing is too much trouble-they even brought our 4 year old daughter chocolates and a teddy:) The restaurant is incredible-I would rate... More

Stayed at Surval during September 2012 (7 days) whilst on business and with a friend during December 2012 (one night). Again - excellent service and food. The rooms, housekeeping and attention to details makes any other guesthouse pale in comparison. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Friendly, considerate and kind. During December Surval was fully booked and the... More

This was our third stop on our honey moon having stayed in Cape Town and franschoek in similar priced locations but were highly anticipating staying here given the website photos and reviews we had seen. Overall this is an average place to stay which is disappointing given the spectacular setting which the estate lies. The views are incredible but the... More

Thank you for taking the time to review us on tripadvisor. We once again offer you an apology for the delay in your breakfast being set. There should have been the continental options ready and waiting along with the cereals and preserves that have been laid out. We trust that the remainder of your honeymoon is an enjoyable one. More

We stayed here for 3 nights on our "Route 62" trip. Everything about the hotel and estate is truly fabulous. We were misguided by our Garmin and got to the estate via a long dirt road from town, luckily we have a 4 x 4 so this was not at all stressful, however once Mark explained to us the short... More

We stayed here 3 nights in the Cortena room, which was comfortable, spacious and nicely decorated. Loved the pebble shower and the blockout shutters. There is a big bath though we didnt end up using it because the bath water was yellow. The toilet is in the room but separated by a bamboo divider. The location of the lodge is... More

Thank you for taking the time to review us on tripadvisor. The water mains of the town have had maintenance performed on them in recent times and this has unfortunately caused a discolouration, we are informed that the “drinking quality” is not affected by this. We do however hope and expect that the problem will be resolved speedily. As to... More

I do agree with most of the reviews for this estate, however there are just a few tips for improvement that I would like to suggest. But first of all -most of the service here is impeccable! And particularly that of the guys managing this estate. We were originally staying for 3 nights but after being given x number of... More
