Farm stay delight by

We arrived the afternoon to be greeted by Bertha. If you like to go and stay on a farm for a night or two, this surely is a nice place to do it. The children was exited to see all the sheep and was given a chance to give milk to some small lambs. The house inside was outfitted with great quality bedding and the kitchen is a delight.

Unforgettable farm holiday by

We were treated like royalty, or rather, as part of Bertha's family during our stay at Stillewaters. The farmhouse has magnificent wooden floors and interior, although its very cosy. Bertha's husband treated my sons to a farming experience which they will never forget. Their hospitality is great! I would absolutely recommend staying at Stillewaters to enrich your memories!

Quiet by

This was the perfect spot to stop between Johannesburg and Cape Town. Spotlessly clean. And so quiet

Oh no! by

The house might be nice, but we stayed in the flatlet and it was unfortunately not. Apart from the flies, spiders, swarms of mosquitoes and a mouse as company and no apparent attempt to help patrons to deal with these creatures like a fan, a swatter or some doom in the room, the place looks in need of some tender loving care, updating and maintenance. Sadly it was not the relaxing farmstay we were looking forward to, as we did not have a very good nights sleep. Also, meals could not be arranged as it was stated in the Safari Now page.

Farmhouse Tranquility by

We spent one night in the en-suite room. The farm is perfectly located half-way between Joburg and Cape Town. Easy to find and in a very tranquil space. We found the room spacious and clean and had a wonderfully quiet night's rest. Unfortunately though, the hot water was not running in the en-suite and we had to get hot water from the kitchen to "bucket bath". Other than that, which I assume can be easily fixed, I would recommend staying at the farm.

Slice of Heaven by

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Stillewaters. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and attentive. We enjoyed the wonderful welcoming and homely atmosphere. The fact that Stillewaters accommodates pets made it rather exceptional.
