Montpellier de Tulbagh

beautiful setting and location. room had a lovely view

walls had water stains, bathrooms left alot to be desired and had visible water leak marks.

No breakfast, self catering

The bath was in the open. The second night we had a cottage that was far from the main building and we were not told that we had to travel far in on a dirt road.

The grounds are beautiful and it has the air of a “make your own adventure” to it.

The room I booked according to the images on the site was the one with a four poster bed and the bathroom with a door. However, when I arrived the woman at reception took us to a different room and when I raised the matter with her she did not try explain or sort the issue but simply gave me the room I had booked - after raising the matter with her again. The lady did not give us much explanation for the stay as to where anything is, what areas are available to guests or what to do regarding the doors to the main house etc. While I understand she simply was there to check us in, she did not seem interested in being helpful to guests. Be sure to confirm with the host which room it is that you have before arrival so as to avoid the awkward situation we found ourselves in as the room booked seems to have majority pictures of one room with a handful of the less desirable room but both are being charged at the same rate.

Was not aware clearly kitchen closes at 16:00. Room is smelly.

The pool area, was spacious, we could braai and eat there as well. The views are amazing and pool was perfect temperature. Rooms were good size. We had access to the pool and surrounding areas of the farm during all hours of the night. Very safe when walking.

Spider webs in manor loft. There was no refrigerator and portable stove top on rooms, both the cellar and manor. Kitchen closed off early to guests, so we couldn't access our food and cool drinks at any time. Was confused about the access to what facilities we are able to use in the kitchen area. There was no clear indication of what activities we could partake in on the farm. We also did not have towels in our room.

Space and the kitchen was well fitted out. Space for dog to run. Comfy bed.

Spiderwebs, dust, needed more than surface clean.

Beautiful place, grounds lovely with wine tasting in the "forest", nice pool but only for use by those in the Manor House We always stay in the Manor House as its less rustic than the other accommodation. Lots of history in the wine farm.

We have been to Montpellier about eight times now. For us it has a specific rustic, original, old world feel and really there is something in the water!!

Gardens, history, food, people, the dogs, the wine

Not really anything, breakfast can be earlier
