Relaxing, comfortable, spacious, safe and remote.

We had such a lovely weekend at Excelsior Farm. We are an extended family with 14 adults and 1 small child. We found the house to be spacious enough for all of us to sleep comfortably. It was very hot, so the aircon in the rooms was such a luxury to have. We had a fantastic Saturday at the pool which was not too deep and big enough for all of us to splash around. The kitchen was nice and big and the dishwasher was a lifesaver. The braai area and pool are lovely spaces where we all could hang out and play our games together. The lawn was large enough that we could set up net plays and kick a ball around. We bothered Lizce a few times but she was so helpful and patient with us. Excellent hospitality and memories we will never forget!

It was very nice and homey.

The place so nice and big you'll get confused about where your rooms are. It's nice and spacious. The braai area was our fav spot. We enjoyed the pool it wasn't too cold. It was very nice we are surely going back again.

Dit was absoluut hemels. Die stilte en die natuur staan bo alles uit. Wens ek kon langer bly.

Baie dankie Lizce vir die lieflike ervaring.

Ons het ‘n wonderlike tyd gehad.

Excelsior is ‘n mooi plaas en die huis is groot en ruim, wat dit ideaal maak vir ‘n groot groep. Dis die perfekte wegbreek van die stadslawaai en ook ideaal vir gesinne met kinders om na hartelus rond te hardloop. Dankie ook aan die gasvrou vir die goeie diens.

We had a wonderful time.

Excelsior is a beautiful farm and the house is large and spacious, which makes it ideal for a large group. It's the perfect break from the city noise and also ideal for families with children to run around to their heart's content. Thanks also to the hostess for the good service.

It was amazing.

I loved that the owners was very helpful but not on your neck all the time. It's great for a big group of people and you can make as much noise as you want.

Excellent service, great accommodation.

A tranquil experience for city go-ers. We loved just being able to chat, laugh and relax with friends. Lovely atmosphere, fresh air and beautiful surroundings. We loved our stay which was an hour and half drive from Durbanville. Thank you.

Teleurstellend!

Hulle was duidelik nie voorbereid vir ons nie. Die kombuisie was beknop, maar als wat benodig gehad het, behalwe ketel en water! Muskiet-/vlieë-sif in karavaan geheel uit! Pad na ablusiegeriewe nog onder konstruksie! Sekuriteit nie na wense nie - ons was stoksielalleen op die plaas op die eerste aand. Tweede aand beter aangesien daar paar ander gesinne in die plaashuis was! Naaste bure sal beslis nie gille of rumoer kon hoor en geen aanduiding van nood nommer beskikbaar nie! Oor geheel baie teleurstellend. Definitief nie die geld werd wat betaal nie!

Disappointing!

They were clearly not prepared for us. The kitchen was cramped, but had everything needed, except kettle and water! Mosquito/fly screen in caravan completely out! Road to ablution facilities still under construction! Security not to our liking - we were all alone on the farm on the first night. Second night better as there were a few other families in the farmhouse! Nearest neighbors will certainly not be able to hear screams or commotion and no indication of an emergency number available! Overall very disappointing. Definitely not worth the money paid!

Goeie dag Mnr Beaton,

Ons is wel steeds jammer jul was teleurgesteld met die verblyf, selfs na al ons gesprekke voor jul aankoms, met fotos, lugfotos en verduideliking dat dit steeds n projek in wording is en om seker te maak jul wil voortgaan met die bespreking.

Sover die kombuis aangaan. Dit is steeds kampering, so die idee is 'n kas met als wat nodig is om die lewe gemakliker te maak terwyl jy steeds in 'n karavaan te bly. Daar gaan nie lopende water aangele word nie, daar is 'n kraan net langs die karavaan.

Aangaande die sekuriteit op n plaas, 99% van my kliente voel juis die feit dat hul weg van almal en als is, is die trekpleister.
Dat jul voel ons nie gereed was vir jul nie, was dalk aangesien jul met aankoms gevra het om nader aan die badkamers te wees, waarna ons n ander grooter karavaan gou afgestof het en beddegoed oorgetrek het om in jul wense te voldoen, sonder additionele kostes.

Tenspyte van dit als is dit steeds nie vir ons lekker om te weet dat gaste nie tevrede was nie, en sal ek graag sou wou opmaak op n manier sou jul een naweek wou oorbly in die gastehuis, met lugversorging, 'n oorgroot kombuis en genoeg kamers, badkamers en n effe meer gevestigde tuin. Let wel jul kan heel moontlik weer alleen op die plaas wees.

Ek hoor graag van jul
Groete

Wonderlike ligging en goeie waarde vir geld.

Poterville bied 'n geleentheid om lekker van die besige stad lewe te ontsnap en dit te geniet met jou vriende en familie.

Ons het heerlik gebly, met soveel rustigheid en vrede om ons.

Ons was 'n groot groep, maar nogtans was die huis ruim genoeg om nie in mekaar se spasie te wees. Genoeg badkamers en heerlike buitebraai. Ligging is perfek, kinders het hul gate uit geniet.

We had a wonderful stay, with so much tranquility and peace around us.

We were a big group, but still the house was spacious enough not to be in each other's space. Plenty of bathrooms and delicious outdoor barbecue. Location is perfect, kids had a blast.

Baie ontspannend en stil

Ons het baie lekker by Excelsior gebly. Dis 'n groot huis met baie plek, goed toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het. Die uitsig is ongelooflik mooi. Dis die ideale plek vir 'n ontspannende, rustige naweek.
