Ilse (10/5): - Alles was fantastisch!!
Chelsea (7/5): Beautiful fun filled stay for kids! - Incredible restaurant with large variety breakfast included. Comfy beds and couch. Stunning scenery and location. Beautiful pony rides. Amazing facilities amd activities for kids. Very basic and rustic accommodation. Basic amenities. No braai facilities at chalet.
Helen (9/5): - Accomodation and food excellent. Staff amazing.
Wilhelm (10/5): -
Sibongamandla (10/5): - Farm lifestyle, nature, the way they welcomed us, the staff from security, reception to the restaurant staff, we were so happy. This is the perfect place to spend time with your friends and family I feel like they didn't tell more about fun they have
Zdenek.v (10/5): - An ideal stay for travelers! The location is perfect, making it very easy to travel to the neighboring valleys. The staff was wonderful and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Thank You Rust and Mendoza. We also truly enjoyed the breakfast—it was delicious and very rich. One of the highlights was the magical connection with the farm animals. In the mornings, we were pleasantly woken up by birdsong, and we even spotted a Southern Ground Hornbill! We would love to come back again.
Sewes (10/5): Can't wait to book again and explore the area more - The service was excellent. The staff are very friendly and they go beyond the standard 3 star service. They assisted me in every need or query I had. They even supplied a place for me to have a braai and spared no trouble to assist me. Everything was pleasant. Nothing not to like as the place is tranquil and all your needs are met. Bar, restaurant and spa on the premises. All the convenience in one
Bert_H42 (10/5): Brilliant, loved it and will be back - Venue is ideally located for exploring the region with it's attractions yet still far away from the main road to give you that country peace and quite. So staying in and relaxing at the chalets or driving out to the local attractions is good either way. There is nothing that was not t our liking, our favourite stop-over and longer stay venue in the Northern Berg.
William (10/5): William - The friendliness of the staff. Nothing
Vicky Vygie 😇 (8/5): -
Bianca (10/5): - The staff was very friendly.They went out of their way to make us feel very special and were helpful at all times. The meals were delicious with attention paid to detail to make it look very nice. The Guest farm has a very quiet atmosphere. If you long for peace and quiet with tons of fresh air to inhale,go to Ardmore!
Gregg (10/5): -
Diana & Vivian (10/5): Excellent! - The facilities were great, the food was excellent & accommodation ideal. Really liked the fact that we could take our small pets with us. Fenced garden for security for pets. Staff very friendly & helpful. Nothing from Ardmore. Just wish neighboring properties allowed small pets to enable us to walk on other trails
Thomas (10/5): - Die Ruhe, der Service, das Personal und eine ganz tolle Massage. Keine Kritikpunkte
Nqobile (10/5): -
Amaury (10/5): - Tout Rien
Wienand (8/5): - The staff is very helpful and informative the wine and chocolate pairing ontop of the hill watching the Sunset was epic.. Breakfast and dinner was really good and not badly priced. There was a bee colony that had nested by my front door that was a bit uncomfortable moving in and out with all the bees luckily none of us is allergic.
Ben (9/5): Lovely. Would love to come again. - Central and near to all the main attractions in the central Drakensberg. Lovely farm in a lovely area. The bungalow that we stayed in was right next to the main building which meant that we could hear a lot of the commotion that was linked to the area.
Salome (9/5): - Ross was super behulpsaam en vriendelik. Hy is verseker n aanwins vir die gasteplaas.
Amato (8/5): -
Mogamat (8/5): Pleasant stay on the farm - Jacuzzi bath, the animals, the activities The fireplace in the bedroom of Rhino might need to be cleaned or serviced as it smoked too much
Coralie (10/5): - L'emplacement superbe, les repas sur place, les infrastructures La propreté du logement
Pien83 (10/5): Perfecte country getaway - The friendliest people! Beautiful location. Cosy farm. And incredible food! What a treat! Nothing

Megan (8/5): -
Jean (8/5): Bel établissement agréable - Responsable très aimable. Jardin magnifique. Cadre bucolique. Silence appréciable . Assez général vieillissent, repas répétitif
Sebastian (10/5): Breathtaking Berg Getaway - Absolutely stunning retreat in the berg! The buffet breakfasts were amazing with freshly baked scones and other biscuits and breads. The dinner served at the restaurant on-site was to die for the steak was brilliant, the burgers were excellent and the chocolate brownie was the best we’ve ever had!! The staff were super friendly and were just so lovely. Recommend to anyone going to the Drankensburg area. It’s also only 20 minutes drive to all of the stunning monks cowl hikes. The jacuzzi jets in the bathtub needs cleaning, they weren’t the cleanest to use but the bath itself was very clean.
Ingo (9/5): Very good will go again - Very good relaxing with plenty to do. Breakfast was excellent 3 km dirt road leading to ths property
wynand (9/5): -
YONGZHI (10/5): - Location
Werner (9/5): Uriger Farmaufenthalt mit tollem Blick auf die Drakensberge - Abseits der D275 liegt nach ein paar Kilometern Piste auf einem riesigen Grundstück die Ardmore Guest Farm von der aus man einen phantastischem Blick auf die Drakensberge hat. Neben dem als zentralen Anlaufpunkt dienenden tollen Farmhouse (darin u.a. Bibliothek, Musikzimmer, Gaststätte, Frühstücksraum und Bar) besteht das Ensemble noch aus mehreren separaten Gebäuden mit Gästezimmern. Es gibt zahlreiche Tiere auf dem Grundstück, Spielmöglichkeiten für Kinder und zwei Pools sind direkt in der Nähe des Farmhauses. Unser Zimmer befand sich in einer von 4 aneinandergereihten Einheiten, die etwas entfernt vom Haupthaus lagen. Sie hatten alle einen Stellplatz und einen überdachten Freisitz. Das Zimmer war groß und zweckmäßig eingerichtet, die Betten waren sehr bequem, das Bad war funktionell ausgestattet, alles war sauber. Die technische Ausstattung des Zimmers und WLAN-Verfügbarkeit waren gut. Das Frühstück und die anderen Mahlzeiten wurden im Gastraum des Hauptgebäudes serviert, Die Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken war groß, das Essen war hinsichtlich Qualität und Quantität sehr gut. Wir wurden herzlich in Empfang genommen, Eigentümer und das gesamte Personal waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Am Freisitz (nur) unseres Apartments befanden sich zwei elektrische Verteilerkästen, die ein konstant brummendes Geräusch verursachten, so dass der Aufenthalt draußen vor dem Apartment leider nicht ganz ungestört war.
Stefan (9/5): Sehr schön! - Super freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Tolles Frühstücksbuffet mit großer Auswahl.
Maria Carolina (8/5): Peaceful, gorgeous and romantic - Absolutely stunning location. Peaceful and well kept grounds. Awesome pool. Staff were so kind and accommodating. Meals were exceptional. Would definitely stay again. The sheets and towels could be upgraded/updated.
vijay (1/5): Bad Service - The farm animals and the staff espicially Madusa The check in process. We were not told that the rooms were not ready when we got there at 16h30, checkin was supposed to be 14h00.There was no hot water, no wifi at all.The children had to go to other units to shower.The guy that checked us in was so defensive the next morning when we brought all this to his attention...all he had to say was "I am so sorry for any inconvenience caused but he went on to give me excuses for not having hot water" Bad customer service from him.
Gertrude (6/5): -
Anish (7/5): Was okay. - Location, quiet. Could be improved.
Robert (10/5): - Fantastic location, beautiful scenery around and an amazing farm. Lovely, friendly staff and such clean and well maintained accommodation.
HTR (7/5): -
Schäfer (10/5): - Das Essen war toll. Alles hat sehr lecker geschmeckt. Und alles war sehr gut vorbereitet nichts
Cecil Whitfield (8/5): Great food and helpful friendly staff - The Bed was extremely comfortable and bath was a new experience. Couch and chair were not at all comfortable and lack of TV
gugu (8/5): - It is quite if you want to stay away from everything to unwind, it is a place for you and most of the staff members are great hosts, especially Mandoza and Nurse. Our apartment was not clean, there were spider webs and the furniture was dusty. The food also was not granted, they can do better in the kitchen.

Nathalie (7/5): Mooie locatie prachtig uitzicht - Locatie prachtig, leuk en goedpersoneel, prima ontbijt en fijn restaurant. Zwembad en vooral stoelen zijn slecht, stoelen stuk dit kan echt niet. Hier mag eea aan opgeknapt worden Huisjes erg leuk/schoon maar zeer gedateerd. En er hangt een erg vieze lucht in de huisjes. Maar we hebben toch enorm genoten.

GILLES (8/5): Bon séjour dans l ensemble, déçu par le logement au vu du prix - Cet établissement offre la possibilité d être dans une ferme auprès de chevaux, moutons, oie etc.. l emplacement est parfait pour de nombreuses randonnée..le logement n’est pas au niveau du prix.. équipement et mobilier vieillissant .La restauration proposée est très bien. Le logement est pas au niveau du prix, l équipement est vieillissant, pas de possibilité de cuisiner, salle de bain et chambre pas très moderne en mobilier , carrelages et miroirs cassés ,joints noircies de moisissures…

Noemie (9/5): - Cadre magnifique, les paysages et alentours sont sublimes Personnel très agréable, donne plein de bons conseils sans être envahissant spa : massage super petit déjeuner : délicieux possibilité de diner sur place en choisissant son menu avant 17h, les plats sont très bons possibilité de demander un panier pic nic à emporter en randonnée balade à poney gratuite le matin à 9h pour les enfants super pour les enfants (et les adultes) car il y a partie ferme (chèvres, oies, poney, moutons...) ainsi que 2 piscines, billard, ping-pong, trampoline, aire de jeux.... cuisine du chalet bien équipée pour pouvoir être autonome dans les repas si on le souhaite literie trop molle douche sans mitigeur, compliqué surtout avec des enfants nous avions le chalet juste devant la ferme et le bruit des oies la nuit est vraiment pénible (mais avec des bons bouchons d'oreilles ça va !)
Andy (10/5): - Super Lage sehr ruhig. Tolles Essen. Komfortables Zimmer mit tollen Betten.
angelique (10/5): Droomplek. We willen terug♥️ - Prachtige plek, schitterende omgeving. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Hele mooie tuin en schitterend uitzicht overal om je heen. Lekker eten in het restaurant Zeer comfortabele lamers/suites. Het was gewoon allemaal heel mooi.
Danil (10/5): - The Ardmore Guest Farm was not just my favorite place during our South Africa trip, but is among my favorite hotels/guest houses I have ever stayed in! We stayed 3 nights, but we felt we could have spent our entire holiday here. We are so thankful to everyone in the team and especially Thando, who went above and beyond to help us when we had some logistical issues! I am not gonna mention every single small and big thing we enjoyed, but if you are reading this and considering staying here: Please come here and experience the place for yourself! :) You will not regret it! Nothing
Dominique (10/5): Perfect! - Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Heerlijk eten zowel ontbijt als avond eten. Locatie is top, heerlijk rustig. We hadden elke avond gezelschap van de kat. We missen haar nu al. Dat we weer moesten vertrekken.

Petra (10/5): einfach nur perfekt - Anläßlich meines Geburtstags gab es von der Unterkunft eine riesige Tort
Petra (8/5): sehr schön - Die junge Dame am Empfang war so herzerfrischend freundlich, dass es immer wieder eine Freude war, ihr zu begegnen. Sehr schöne Anlage, netter Poolbereich, den wir leider nur am Ankunftstag nutzen konnten, da es dann nur noch geregnet hat. Unser Zimmer lag etwas weg vom Hauptbereich, das war im Regen nicht so praktisch. Frühstück und das angebotene Abendessen waren hervorragend, das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Eine Bar auf Vertrauensbasis fanden wir praktisch. Gute Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten auch bei Regen mit Billard und Tischtennis. Ein etwas besser beleuchteter und befestigter Weg von der Unterkunft zum Haupthaus, sonst alles perfekt!
Kees (9/5): - Enorm grote cottage met keuken/zitkamer, 2 slaapkamers en 2 badkamers. Leuk overdekt zitje buiten. We hadden incl. diner geboekt en je kon van de kaart kiezen. Heerlijk gegeten. Ook ontbijt was uitgebreid buffet. Personeel super vriendelijk. Weg ernaar toe is 3,5 km dirtroad, maar met normale auto prima te doen. Overdag de phinx wandeling gedaan bij Monks cowl. Zeer de moeite waard, met prachtige uitzichten. Daarna biertje gedronken in de Drakensberg brouwerij. Is allemaal wel wat gedateerd. Bed moeten verschuiven om bij de stopcontacten te komen.
Johannes (10/5): - Wunderbare Guest Farm mit tollem Personal, sei es Mendoza an der Rezeption, Nelly im Restaurant (sorry, wenn die Namen falsch geschrieben sein sollten) oder die anderen Angestellten, jeder war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Morgens zum Frühstück gab es tolle Klavierbegleitung durch die Chefin. Egal was man zum Frühstück genommen hat, es war köstlich, gleiches gilt für das Abendessen. Dazu gab es passende Weine. Sehr schönes und großzügiges Cottage mit Blick auf die Berge. Bequeme Betten. Ausgezeichnete Massage! Wir haben uns sehr, sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Auswahl an Gin war etwas bescheiden und an einem Abend gab es keinen Amarula ;-).
vera (8/5): - sehr authentische u echte 'farm' mit rondavelshütten/ zimmern -- sehr viel platz, viele tiere, reiten , 2! pools -- scheint in der saison speziell auf kinder ausgerichtet zu sein -- gutes essen -- u klavierbegleitung zum frühstück !!
Karen (9/5): A true gem of a place to stay in the Drakensberg area - When we finally got to Ardmore it was dark & up a long unlit gravel road so we didn't fully appreciate the location until the next morning. Also, when we arrived, the kitchen had closed, but the very helpful Mendoza rallied someone to get us dinner which was hugely appreciated as we'd been on the road for most of the day. The accommodation was all spread out up a slope, the rooms were very spacious and clean, albeit a bit chilly. We had only booked in for one night, but just about managed to get a 2nd one in as it was the weekend and this gem of a place is very popular - wish we could have stayed a couple more nights! Ardmore is set in large beautiful grounds, at the back is a lovely little pool area to cool off in, lots of seating under trees to enjoy the views and delicious Rose wine available at the bar. Outside the restaurant there's a terrace to sit and have breakfast on whilst watching the array of beautiful birds coming to the feeder. The cooked breakfast menu was one of the best, and all included in the b&b rate. In the main building they have a pool table and ping pong and a fabulous and well stocked library area, plus husband and kids all enjoyed the massage on offer. Staff were all so helpful and friendly and Mendoza (again) gave us lots of advice. Just up the road is a wild bird sanctuary, where they give bird demos, set in beautiful grounds with stunning views, it was free, fascinating and absolutely a must do. This was a great find & so happy we stayed here. Just a bit more of an indication of the entrance/reception area and some lighting on the path up to the main building.
John (8/5): Most enjoyable - The friendliness of all management and staff Gravel road But only 4 kms
LesSavutis (10/5): Très agréable surprise, bel emplacement, séjour parfait. - Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Petit déjeuner copieux et très bon avec les oiseaux sur la terrasse et la propriétaire au piano (incroyable). Bel emplacement, au calme car la ferme est à l'écart de la route, vue sur les montagne. Parking sécurisé, très bon WIFI. Le personnel est charmant et attentionné. Ardmore se soucie du bien être de ses clients et met à disposition une piscine, bar, restaurant, jeux, bibliothèque ...... et même un SPA (excellent massage 1,5 heure à un prix très abordable). Nous avons profité de notre spacieux chalet en toute intimité. Animaux de la ferme pour le plus grand plaisir des enfants mais aussi des adultes. Merci pour tout.
