This guest house is very difficult to classify. I suspect that the experience you will have here will depend predominantly on your mood; are you feeling tolerant, exacting, bored, stressed ...?whatever you're feeling, this place will probably intensify it. We stayed here in late April/early May 2012 at around R2 500 per room per night bed & breakfast for 2... More

The fynbos suites are like private villas with a clean modern design and beautiful views across the diverse yet smallest floral kingdom in the world. The view continues into the distance accross award winning vineyards a lake and then off to the ocean. We loved our stay and can't wait to return next year!

Unfortunately, only had time for 1 night at Farm 215. Would have loved more. Whilst being off the beaten track, directions provided made it easy to find. Arrived to a warm welcome from Maarten and a show around the estate - gorgeous courtyard, dining areas, pool - but the best bit was our Fynbos suite; amazing views, absolute silence (except... More

We arrived at Farm 215 late in the evening and were greeted by a host a friendly and welcoming faces. The Fynbos Suite was pure luxury, the food was delicious and the views breathtaking. We spent the days reading our books, lazing by the pool and hiking around the farm. The owner of Farm 215, Maarten Goss, was knowledgeable about... More

I have just ended my stay at farm 215 and I would just like to say in reference to the previous comment that my two daughters, my husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and found it to be very child friendly. They were off all day on the hiking trails and horse riding leaving me and my husband to relax... More

We arrived late evening, around 19:00, just in time to make it for dinner. Dinner was OK, nothing special. Considering it is marketed as a 'luxury resort' I would have expected more. There is plenty of food, but it lacked quality and choice, in my opinion. The dessert was mouse au chocolate which is far too big. The rooms are... More

By far our favorite stay in a three week visit to South Africa. The accommodations were beautiful and the food delicious! The staff (the owners!) were super nice and helpful. I definitely recommend upgrading to a fynbos suite - gorgeous views of the landscape. We visited the country for the plants and Farm 215 offers great trails over acres of... More

We had two fantastic nights at Farm 215, sleeping in one of the gorgeous fynbos suites. Okay it rained a bit, but that just meant we could laze around in the incredibly snug lounge while the woodfires burned, reading our books and gazing out over that extraordinary view. In other words, we didn't mind at all... The setting is extraordinary,... More
