The vibe is really good.  It is relaxing with spacious table settings and seating arrangements. The service is excellent. I ordered the venison pie. When it arrived the presentation looked good,  colourful and it was substantial portions. The venison pie itself was a bit over seasoned. The apple crumble I had for dessert was wonderful. It tasted great with just enough spices,  not overly sweet and wonderfully hot. The perfect size as well. Thank you for a great evening.

It's a very nice location. The pizza and wine was good. The breakfast was great. A bargain at the price. Some improvements I would recommend include adding bottled water in the rooms. The restaurant was short staffed, so the service was slow when we had dinner. Other than that, it was pretty good.Rooms: 4/5

I had my wedding here last year September and although it is a very beautiful place there were some very problematic things that happened on the day that made it turn out to be not a very "beautiful" experience: The trees where we were supposed to have our ceremony did not have a single leaf on them. I had very specifically asked if they were evergreen as we were having a winter wedding. I was assured that they were. This was the sole reason we chose this venue and it ruined the ceremony. The sad part is I had a long conversation with the consultant about how we wanted a wedding that included nature and trees. Secondly, the weather on the day was not good, there was slight rain. Now the weather is not in their control, however, again we inquired before we booked what was the alternative and they said we could rent a tent if it was bad. On the day they told us we could not put it up because the ground was too wet. They should have thought about this and advised to set it up earlier! We ended up having a makeshift ceremony in the reception hall. On the day I had arranged to meet the organizer at 9 am to speak with her about important details, but she  had double booked with a viewing and only showed up an hour later for which I had had to leave to go to do hair and make up. This was incredibly unprofessional. Lastly, the starter did not taste like the sample dish that we had had and some guests got starters that were missing items. The original had salad included with the fish but the item served was just a mix of fish and mayonnaise which was not as nice as what we had had.  I will comment that the rest of the food was amazing and this was probably the only thing that I was really happy with that day from the venue, bar the starter.  They also did clean the honeymoon sweet in-between the groomsmen getting ready and the end of the evening which was nice. I do not only want to mention the bad parts.  Over all, the food was nice, the service for the accommodation was really great, but the service for the venue was terrible. To sum it up because of the first two points especially the first I would not have chosen this as my wedding destination and do regret it, which is a shame. I wish I had complained earlier but we just wanted to try and enjoy our day.

We had a wonderful time. Great menu, something for everyone. Relaxed atmosphere and a huge fun play area for kids. Perfect family day out. And....an outside bar area with table seatings, where you can relax and keep an eye on the kiddies. Amazing Red Cappuccino!! We will be back. Thanks so much.

6 of us stayed in the self serve accommodation. The surrounding of the house was nice and the patio beneath grape vines was also nice. The WiFi was really good too. However the reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because 2 of the beds were in the sitting room so the people here were disturbed whenever anyone went into the kitchen. Also the house itself could also do with maintenance and modernization

Had the "Hake & chips", chips were great, hake was fantastic...very fresh and juicy, service was great. We sat outside on veranda and had a really enjoyable lunch. Will definitely go again. Lovely views of the vineyards.

Kids friendly restaurant with lots of green shady trees   Various play areas for kids all ages, from a sand pit to rocking horses and jungle gyms. Even an indoor play area for rainy days.  We had breakfast and was very happy with the big portions.

Nice play area and jungle gym for the kids. Food was unfortunately not on par. Ordered a burger medium rare, was served with two non toasted bottom parts of the bun? Asked to speak to a manager that offered to redo the burger. New burger arrived after all our other guests had finished their food, only to get a well done dried out inedible patty. Ribs belly cut with a lot of cartalidge. Hake was thin. Pizza was good.

The parking is great at the Wine Estate. This Estate is situated just outside the busy suburbs, and you can easily come and relax. Their prices against the Food that you get is great and I was impressed with the large portions. It's also of great quality. I will highly recommend this restaurant for people that want to relax in piece, with a beautiful view. Well Done Skilpadvlei you meet the local travellers expectations in every way....the most important is to offer good quality at low prices.

Good food and lovely place for the children to have fun and play in the kiddies area and sand pit. Also lovely wine tasting for the adults and the kiddies too. They also have an non acholic option for those who don't want to drink.
