Large and very attractively decorated comfortable room. Communal areas were also comfortable and nice to have the riverside room.

It was a bit of a drive at night to find somewhere to eat.

"Amazing experience at Gowan Valley Estate!"

9.0

Absolutely everything! What a beautiful hidden gem! From the amazing staff, to the spectacular views and peace, and most importantly the exceptional additional dog staff! An incredible experience! If you're looking for somewhere to unwind, relax, be stress free, Gowan Valley is definitely the place to be! They have lounges inside and outside that you can relax in, you barely have to leave the property, except for lunch and supper. Besides that, there are trails to do, lounges to relax, amazing plants and flowers to see, plenty of dogs to play with, the occasional cow! A swimming pool! And a lovely playground for kids or an adult who just wants to swing! The staff are always willing to help you and provide amazing service, as a vegetarian they went out of their way to cater for me at breakfast everyday! Quality service!

Just a tiny preference, an aircon...some days were quite hot, the fan definitely did the job but just a small suggestion

"Thank you to the host, we truly enjoyed our stay."

10.0

Itā€™s close to the river and the sound of water gashing down. The braai area was great. Breakfast was great. Staff were polite and helpful.

Not all rooms had fridges.

"Beautiful relaxing country get away"

9.0

Breakfast was LOVELY, the staff was friendly and willing to tailor everything to our taste. We had breakfast overlooking the river it was lovely country get away. We had a last minute escape but that didn't stop them from making our stay worthwhile even allowed us extended check out time.

maybe look into having airconditioners and bar fridge per room otherwise ALL WAS PERFECT
