Uitstekend, ons gaan beslis weer.

Alles was regtig uitstekend. Ek sal Elgin Country Lodge 100% aanbeveel. Ek het nou gesit en dink of ek iets negatiefs kan noem, maar daar is niks. Ons het heerlik gebly, en sal beslis appeltyd weer gaan kuier! Allen is 'n uitstekende gasheer.

'n Stukkie hemel op aarde, 'n klipgooi buiten Kaapstad geleë.

Elgin Country Lodge het ons asems weggeslaan! Ons het in die gastehuis gebly wat 4 mense huisves. Geleë in die middel van 'n appelboord en teen 'n dam, is hierdie plaas werklik prentjiemooi en balsem vir 'n moeë stadsiel. Die huis is uitstekend toegerus en gaste se gerief is in ag geneem. Pragtige slaapkamers, gemaklike beddens en 'n ten volle toegeruste kombuis. Goeie WiFi en selfs braaigeriewe. Ons het ons harte verloor op Elgin Country Lodge en dit was swaar om op te pak en huis toe te gaan. Ons volgende wegbreek kans sal beslis daar wees! Baie dankie aan Barry (eienaar) en Alan (bestuurder) wat ons verwelkom het vir julle vriendelikheid en gasvryheid.

A piece of heaven on earth, located a stone's throw outside Cape Town.

Elgin Country Lodge took our breath away! We stayed in the guest house which accommodates 4 people. Located in the middle of an apple orchard and against a dam, this farm is truly picturesque and balm for a tired city soul. The house is excellently equipped and guests' comfort has been taken into account. Beautiful bedrooms, comfortable beds and a fully equipped kitchen. Good WiFi and even braai facilities. We lost our hearts at Elgin Country Lodge and it was hard to pack up and go home. Our next getaway chance will definitely be there! Many thanks to Barry (owner) and Alan (manager) for welcoming us for your kindness and hospitality.

Warm ontvangs deur 'n uiters professionele gasvrou, Pat. Lieflike kamer, ten volle toegerus met alles wat ons moontlik kon nodig kry

Elgin Country Lodge is ideaal geleë om die hele gebied vanaf Elgin Vallei, Grabouw tot by Hermanus te verken. Die Elgin Country Lodge is sentraal, en word uitstekend bestuur. Die kamers is pragtig, met 'n uitsig op die berge en lieflike appelboorde. Ontbyt word stylvol voorgesit en bedien. Die gasvrou, Pat, is uiters professioneel, en sien om na al die behoeftes van haar gaste. Ek kan hierdie verblyf met graagte aanbeveel.

Wonderful stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Elgin Country Lodge. We stayed for 2 nights while participating in Wine2Whales mountain bike stage race. The lodge is conveniently close to Oak Valley and we could ride in and out with our bikes. The views from the stoep were spectacular. Our room was spotless, the public lounge is stuffed with good books and breakfast was good - fresh fruit etc. Pat is an amazing host and went out of her way to make us feel right at home. I would certainly strongly recommend it.

Super netjiese, rustige en goed geleë akkommodasie in die Elgin-vallei.

Ons was ontvang deur 'n baie gasvrye Pat wat uit haar pad gegaan het om alles vir ons so gemaklik moontlik te maak. Die lodge is omring met appelboorde wat so 'n rustigheid gee. Die tuin en kamers van die lodge is supernetjies en voldoen aan al die vereistes. Sal Elgin Country Lodge beslis aanbeveel. Dankie aan die webtuiste, dat ons altyd op hulle aanbevelings kan vertrou.

Hemel op aarde - Rus vir jou siel!

Puik gastehuis. Ons was vriendelik ontvang en ons gasheer en gasvrou het uit hul pad gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel. Die kamer is super netjies en skoon en was daar niks wat ons in dié kamer kort gekom het nie. Selfs die filterkoffie in dié kamer is ‘n groot bederf. Die kontinentale ontbyt was heerlik en smaakvol voorberei. Ons sal vir seker weer hier kom bly en sal dan definitief langer bly as die 2 dae wat ons nou gebly het.

The cleanest guest house we've ever stayed in! There was nothing more we could have asked for.

We loved our stay in the upstairs room - it was warm and cosy and provided everything we needed including a spectacular view. Everything was really well organised, complete with a secure place to lock our bicycles. We had super breakfasts and enjoyed the use of the lounge and fireplace at night.
