We stayed for 2 nights at cultivar. The staff are really friendly and it feels very much like a family business. We didn’t use the pool or grounds as it was cold unfortunately, but they are well kept and the pool looks lovely.

Two thumbs down!
What a misleading place! Amazing photos of the exterior and the luxurious suite, then you get there and we are greeted by a guy in a raggedy old shirt and flip flops. Room was crappy. ZERO soap. No one offered to assist with the bags. Bed was awful. Grounds are beautiful but unfortunately you can’t sleep outside. Service was the absolute worst. I will not recommend this hole.

Fabulous quiet, relaxing stay in good location
We had a wonderful, very spacious room with a lovely furnished patio. The bed was huge, super comfy and great bedding. The bathroom was also large, great shower, double basins, very clean. Caution: be careful of slippery shower floor when wet and soapy!! The views from the room and patio are fabulous - only green countryside and mountains! The service was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good but nothing special. The location is very quiet but close enough to reach Stellenbosch and amenities in ca. 10 minutes.

The grounds are impeccable, pool is nice and the rooms are also pleasant, with views to the gardens. The water pressure in the room isn't great and the decor needs an update, the overstuffed chairs are smelly, rug is a bit worn. No TV but I didn't mind at all. Staff were a mixed bag, some friendly some not at all, but overall a nice stay. Breakfast buffet so-so...Price was also a good value.

Great visit!
I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely recommend it to friends. They have two pools, a great breakfast, and are in a super nice quiet location. It's very clean and it's easy to get an uber into town if you don't have a car. I'd definitely go back.
