Not what we expected.
Rooms are very small, poorly lit and dark. Water pressure is ridiculous. Unfortunately there are few pictures of the place that can give you a better idea of what it looks like. There is no access control, just a small gate that needs to be opened and closed. Anyone has access to the premises.

The Owl Cottage on Fynbos Guest Farm is a lovely place between interesting animals and beautiful scenery.
Our groupie thoroughly enjoyed the Owl Cottage on Fynbos Guest Farm: on the farm there is a large collection of exotic animals and birds; various activities and a lovely swimming pool. The farm is located in an environment where any nature lover's heartstrings are tugged by intensive agricultural activities; breathtaking scenery and energetic outdoor activities. Our visit was definitely a looper for next time.

Thank you for your feedback, Minette.
Problems regarding water pressure seldom last long, apologies that at the time you wanted to shower, there seemed to be no water. Had we known about this, we could have sorted out the problem, if the electricity supply is interrupted, the trip switch occasionally goes down and needs to be reset to fix the water pressure. We are often complimented on the cleanliness and tidiness of our ablution block, thank you for your favourable comment!

Thank you for your feedback, Leon. As hosts after checking in guests, we do try to leave guests alone to enjoy the peace, tranquillity and privacy of their accommodation and the farm environment. Guests do know where we are located if they require any further information other than what is listed in our comprehensive information folder in each cottage.

Such a pity we arrived so late. But the next morning we were so surprised and we really enjoyed the gardens and the far. Doesn't even feel like a working farm when you sit on cabin patio. Gardens are laid out and maintained with love and passion such a bliss to behold. The cabin is comfortable and very neat. Peter is one of the friendliest people we've ever met. You have to visit this place if you are in the area. Breathtaking.

Beautiful scenery; unusual animals; warm hospitality and tranquility - away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
I could find my ideal of a break from the crazy city rush here. Even the one night's stormy wind and rain was transformed into a cozy warmth with the open fire that Peter came to light for me. His basket of breakfast food was full of surprises and delicious! The animals on his farm were yet another experience! Early in the morning I was greeted by his peacocks; geese, as well as his friendly, well-trained dogs. Peter takes care of discarded animals, as well as horses, spring goats and llamas, etc., that were in danger of being shot or slaughtered. The surrounding mountains and scenery are impressive and beautiful. This farm is a real escape for anyone who is just looking for peace and quiet for his soul.
