A great experience on the farm! We loved it! The giraffes, emus, ostriches, and antelopes let us have a private safari in our back yard.

Wir haben statt des gebuchten Zimmers ein ganzes Haus am See bekommen! Das Highlight für unsere kleine Tochter die 3 Giraffen die immer mal wieder am See und an der Terrasse oder dem Küchenfenster vorbeigeschaut haben! Vielen Dank an Friedel für dieses tolle Erlebnis! Wir kommen irgendwann wieder! Vg, I,G & E

Leider War das Geschirr im Zimmer dreckig bei der Anreise. Durch den Teich im Hintergrund und die immer währende Beleuchtung im Hintergrund wimmelte es im Zimmer leider vor Mücken - wir konnten kaum schlafen. Landleben hin oder her aber ich glaube andere Zimmer waren nicht so betroffen.

Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt mit vielen frei herumlaufenden Tieren! Die Unterkunft war schön, geräumig, sauber und bestens ausgestattet. Wir hatten vorab einen Picknickkorb bestellt und auf der Veranda gegrillt. Obwohl es leicht regnete, haben wir draußen unter einer Decke gesessen, Wein genossen und den Tieren zugesehen. Einfach traumhaft!

Otur

Vi hann inte fram i tid för incheckning och hittade bara tel nr till hotels.com på bokningen så vi var tvungna att snabbt ta ett annat hotell för säkerhet. Otur och synd att telnr till boendet inte stod med.

Highly recommended!!

We travelled from Cape Town to Kruger, staying at various places, and Kwetu Farm was by far our favourite. The accommodation is located on a farm with game and other animals wondering around. We spent a lovely evening by the fire, under the stars, surrounded by beautiful mountains and wildlife. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the hosts and staff were very friendly and welcoming. We'd love to stay here again!!

Safe, comfortable, and pleasant

This is a good alternative to staying at Bontebok park. The farm is 85 hectare and there are many kinds of buck. The hosts were very friendly and took us on a game drive as soon as we arrived. We stayed in the "long room" which is more economic but attached to the reception. The other cottages are obviously a better experience since they are inside the fence of the actual game area. However, we really liked out stay here- everything was clean, everyone very friendly, pretty area, conveniently located close to Swellendam and halfway between Knysna and Cape Town. We would definitely recommend this place!
