Extremely disappointing stay at Cape Dutch Quarters in Tulbagh.
Advised just before we were about to depart for Tulbagh by the owner,
Jayson Clarke, that the accommodation booked was infested... read more by a bee-
swarm and therefore unsafe and we were offered an upgrade at the Manor House.
He told us that he knew about this since December and our trip was 13 – 15 January.
He told us that he could offer alternative superior accommodation and facilities including exclusive use of the pool and entertainment area, apart from one other person was staying at an extension of the Manor House.
In fact, the pool was actually a plunge pool and the area was being used by three friends of the owner, two of whom were extremely inebriated and monopolized the use of the outside area for both nights of the stay. It was not our intention to spend very hot afternoons/evenings indoors to avoid being with drunken people. In addition to this, the space above the ceiling of one of the bedrooms was infested with crickets and kept the occupants awake for two nights of the stay and left them very grumpy and disgruntled as we were sold a completely different scenario. Staff support was very thin on the ground. A refund was refused and as world-wide travellers, this has been one of our worst experiences.

  A charming series of cottages to stay in, arranged around a central pool. Check-in was easy and welcoming. Really enjoyed the ambience and relaxing atmosphere. Centrally located in Tulbagh, within... read more walking distance of shops. A tranquil stay!

  Considering the age of the property which co-insides beautifully with the rest of the property themes in this very well known location in Tulbagh, housekeeping could improve. It has been... read more ages since housekeeping did a proper deep clean. The upkeep of general maintenance needs attention and this will boost sales no doubt.

  We booked for our honeymoon. No special service. Nothing. Front staff unfriendly. Lots of noise at our room and the person doing the deliveries said he didn't care. He was... read more there to work. We have stayed many places but this place was not welcoming at all. We mentioned we were staying there for our honeymoon but it might as well have been a business trip. Would not recommend for a special stay. More

  Wagon Shed not what I expected. The security was dismal. There was dust falling from the bathroom ceiling the whole time we were there. We could... read more not use the bath. There was mould on the shower wall. The bedframe was somewhat dilapidated in my opinion.

The decorations in the common areas looked like they had been deterioration untended for years. A rusty bicycle frame missed a seat and had some dry branches sticking out of the front basket that was falling apart. Many of the outside walls was in desparate need of paint. If I had an option I would have changed my booking but it was prepaid and only for one night so we stayed.

The staff was friendly and cooperative but could not do much to change the situation.
The location was nice and allowed esy access to the surrounding areas More

  This was the first time we stayed in the town itself, normally we stay on a farm just outside. It was a lovely change, as we went to a wedding... read more on the Saturday. The CDQ's location was central and we did not have to drive far. Charmaine was friendly and very accommodating. Thanks for the team for the nice stay, we will see you again.

  Loved the proximity to everything we needed! We could easily walk to restaurants, coffee shops and museums and the wine farms were less than 10 minutes drive away. With over... read more 200 years of history, the hotel is fascinating and quaint. They made our small but comfortable room attractively cosy for the winter nights. Breakfast in the historic Cape Dutch dining room was excellent home-cooked food. Charmaine looked after as with warmth and efficiency from booking to departure!

  One of the better stays ever. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the area that the place is situated, is magnificent. Definitely an excellent place to revive yourself... read more and breath fresh air again. We visited some of the winefarms around there and the mountains are so majestic and calming. Will definitely come back
