Our home in Kraaifontein was flooded and, in order for the flood restoration process to take its course, we were given the order to evacuate the house for 2 months or more, my brother and I, with two dogs. When scouting for pet-friendly, self-catering accommodation close to home, Rondekuil Estates stood out by far as the most pet-friendly accommodation available. When I phoned for a quote, I was told that accommodation was not available for 3 nights during the period I sought accommodation for. I accepted still, offering to stay with family for those 3 nights. From there on, the assistance afforded us to cause least inconvenience over those 3 nights is highly commendable. We were permitted to store the bulk of our belongings in one of the rooms at Leeulaagte 2, our first stop, a most delightful, quaint 2 bedroom cottage with practical kitchen/ dining area and en suite bathrooms for each room. A braai and pool area, neat lawns and large pond completed an all-round pleasant country experience. I even entertained my daughters with their family/ friend to a braai and scenic walk, including a view of the most beautiful young cattle I have ever seen and a lot of beautiful bird life. For the other 2 problem nights, we were offered a batchelor apartment which they changed a bit to suit our needs and here we were pretty comfortable too. We are now at our last stop for the nect 2 months, i.e. The Old Farmhouse 1, section of a massive house, offering very large bedrooms (2), a lounge, dining room, huge bathroom and enormous kitchen. In front we have a nice enclosed, well-kept garden and at the back a huge enclosed lawn for the dogs to run around in. This accommodation, with its splendid views, sights to see and comfortable lodgings has contributed immensely to alleviating the stress of dealing with a flooded home. The 5km walks every evening with our dogs is also beneficial to them and us and, I have to admit that it will be with great sadness that we will leave these serene surroundings to move back into our restored city home when that day comes. I can recommend this accommodation to anyone (especially pet owners), who need to break away and just chill. I love this place and the pleasant, accommodating team that bend overbackwards to make our stay enjoyable.

Excellent service, clean and tidy, the beds and linen are of very high standard. They supply coffee, tea, sugar and milk for your first night or two. We love the small chocolate for each guest in the fridge. The accommodation is private, not like other guest houses where you have to share spaces with other guests. There are two roads going to the guest house, the one is a tar road almost all the way to the guest house. I do not think it’s fair for the previous person that have done a review to complain about the other road they took. We took the other road on a previous stay and it’s not bad at all, we thought the condition of the gravel road was quite good. We will definitely stay at Rondekuil whenever we are going to Cape Town. Highly recommended.

We stayed for two nights at the Leeulaagte Cottages with our two four legged kids. We had a SUPER time, slept well on very comfortable beds and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The Cottage is roomy,the kitchen has everything one need and we loved sitting on the porch in the evening. The swimming pool was literally a life saver in the January heat wave! Location is superb, well away to have privacy and quietness, yet close enough to Durbanville for all the restaurants and other amenities one should want. We will in future stay with you guys again. Special word of thanks to Richard for ALWAYS responding to e-mails, and the troubles he took to forward an item I, due to my own negligence, left behind. Best Wishes, Izak and Elmarie van Rooyen. PS. I also do hope you guys get a lot of good rain very soon!

We have used Rondekuil as our base on numerous occasions while visiting Cape Town. We recently stayed in the newly available Valley House for 2 weeks. Its was absolutely perfect and everything we hoped for! The house is massive and secluded being on the edge of the property. The garden is beautifully well kept with the softest grass I've ever felt. There is a fence that surrounds the yard which was great to contain our kids. The evenings and sunsets were breathtaking from the long veranda which has a panoramic view of the hillside and vally below. If you are looking for a relaxing, peaceful family retreat then Valley House is for you.

This is a very peacefull place. It is about 30min drive so it is not close to the city. Here are no highways closeby so no traffic noise. This is a farm, very quiet and dark. The rooms are cosy and the staff is friendly and helpfull. You might encounter one of natures children on the grounds or in your room, but there will be help to remove them. Very nice place to stay at or have n conference.

I had the most fantastic weekend, thank you! While I felt like I was miles away from the hustle and bustle, it took all of 40 minutes to get home on Sunday. I have since told almost everyone I know about Rondekuil and we will be returning as often as possible. The cottage was lovely and clean, with very comfortable beds and bedding and we had everything we needed for a fantastic weekend. Well done on providing a magnificent venue at a very affordable price and I look forward to returning.

If you are hosting a wedding, please ensure the windows are clean and that the food is served hot. We received a plated starter before the buffet opened. I have never eaten anything as bizarre as cheese grillers cut up with chicken nuggets topped with honey mustard on a bed of lettuce, tomato and onion, served ice cold! Revolting! The buffet food was good but not hot and the pumpkin fritters were served cold.... Nice venue that needs serious attention to detail.

Moving house and in the interim had to find emergency accommodation that allows pets as well. Absolutely fantastic long-term stay with my pets. Enclosed outside area, clean and peaceful farm experience. They accommodated me with all requests and also special circumstances. I highly recommend this accommodation. Absolutely a pleasure to deal with Jo and Richard. Thank you. You made a difference in my time of crisis.

Please be warned. The road leading to this place is really bad. I attended a wedding on Saturday and the road was so bad I had to drive less than 10km /hour for over 20 minutes just so that my car would not fall apart then another 20 minutes back out of the place. The venue was lovely and surrounding scenery is beautiful. Great wedding venue but all guest should drive a hummer just to traverse the horrible terrain.

Just returned from rondekuil cottages.... The cottages are badly in need of repair...windowframes...door locks ..doors and lighting unacceptable.... Pricing..unreasonable.. considering one is also 35km from capetown . Lovely setting .but we don't recommend [the cottages ] at all.. also no extra lighting supplied when the power is off...

A jewel conveniently situated close to major city centre and of the best wine routes the Cape has to offer. Great for weekend get aways and functions as well. Cottages well kept and clean with beautiful pool available to relax at. A great venue for avid mountain bikers with kilometers of dirty tracks that must be explored.

Rondekuil is a stunning venue where good service and great food comes standard. The only thing I would add is some extra blankets in the bedrooms, but other than that, everything was perfect. Thanks for making our conference a success.

Suitable for any event, wedding, birthday party you name it. Beautiful view, wheel chair friendly and ample parking. Staff very friendly and helpful. Cash bar, fully stocked. Aircons and heaters in venue, very useful. Great place to take wedding photos.

Enjoy a quite relaxing evening next to the pool while nibbling on delicious titbits and sipping on your favourite drink. Rooms are well kept and spacious. Breakfast is included and has everything one would expect from sn establishe of this nature

Jo and her team are such a pleasure to work with. The venue is beautiful. The setup awesome and the setting great. Out in the country but still close by. Was a pleasure once again to have married another couple here. Can wait for the next.

I attended a function here so am unable to review the rooms, however everything else I experienced - namely, the service and location, was incredible. I highly recommend them as a function venue!

Absolutely amazing!!! Our wedding was AWESOME!!!! Thank you Jo for all your assistance and for wise words of knowledge. We have passed out in an amazing cottage that was perfectly looked after and in immaculate condition.

Amazing accommodation. I would strongly recommend Rondekuil to anyone looking to get away and just relax and enjoy the beauty of Cape Town. Brian was very welcoming and the home we stayed in was 5 star accommodation

This place is the closest to home I ever felt. Love the friendly people and peaceful ambience and the best part of it is how dog friendly it is!!! Thank you for all the kindness and warmth that you offer to us.

Very nice venue. Jo was super friendly. Wish the quote process was a bit faster and easier. Had to remind numerous times. Waited weeks in between. Still don't have all the quotes. We decided to go elsewhere.

Great getaway place. On a farm. Out in the open. Close to nature and farm life. Self catering accommodation just right. Very very relaxing . Go there!

Went there for team building games which went very well to be honest I didn't think I was gonna have so much fun but I had the best of it...it's a very nice place to get your mind of things

Off the beaten track, in the middle of knowhere but still close to civilization. Quiet, picturesque, calming. Bed and breakfast was excellent. An farm life experience everyone should have.

Took some photos for a wedding. Happy bride and groom, with spectacular settings. Seriously no photo editing required! The service is so friendy, like visit a friend. Definitely worth it.

The place are a bit far from Durbanville. But it is a real farm. Nice to go to. Friendly workers. And the most cost effective place. Indoor braai place and cozy.

Venue is wonderful,rustic but cozy. The road to Rondekuil not the best when it rains but still ok.

Very happy with our visit at Rondekuil. We did the sound for Emil's 21st, and the host was helpfull and friendly. Venue itself is a bit small but very pretty!

Beautiful getaway for weekend, even has a functio hall for birthday or wedding. Peaceful surroundings and enclosed with fields of wheat and canola.

Was there for a day venue it was totally amazing beautifully stunning peacefully tranquility wow...I fell in love with the place....

Beautiful setting loved the surrounding green hills and peaceful farm atmosphere. Wedding venue was beautiful and food was good.

We stayed at the rondawel 9 years ago. Nothing has changed. Still lekker place but needs upgrading especially the bathrooms.

We stayed in the Rondawel, it was neat, the privacy is really nice and there is loads of space. Would definitely recommend.

The most wonderful place to rest your soul. Friendly hosts and went out of their way to make our stay an absolute pleasure.

Had a team building at the location. Staff was super friendly and very entertaining!

Enjoyed my stay, quite peaceful and pretty. Probably not suitable for a long stay - not that well equipped.

The hospitality & staff were very helpful & friendly. The venue facilities was good. Food was excellent

Hidden in a Valley filled with farm fields 360 degrees... Perfect for a wedding or a weekend getaway.

What a beautiful, intimate, rustic venue. The owner is such a gem. Definitely won't be disappointed.
