Our stay at Excelsior Guest House
"Accommodation was very comfortable. A lovely old farmhouse on a beautiful farm The staff were courteous and obliging and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
Great experience
"This was a lovely experience for mother and daughter to be travelling on their own (husband with the two other children back home in Germany) for the first time in South Africa, to receive such a warm welcome from Carin. The room was georgeous, the bed heater helpful in these cool days of September, the dinner at the fireplace very good. We enjoyed the walk through the vineyards and the generous breakfast aswell. What a pity we had to leave again so soon, but there were still other places to be visited."
Excelsior Manor
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and the bed was soooo comfortable. We were able to take the golf buggy out and explore the farm before breakfast which was good to see. We really wished we had time to stay for another night as it was a great chill out location. We would definately recommend tis place to our friends and family."
Excelsior Manor Guest House
"I can highly recommend the Excelsior Manor Guest House. It is exactly what we were looking for, a warm and hospitable host who was not not only welcoming but also very accommodating, beautiful surroundings and enchanting manor house. We managed to relax and enjoy our surroundings. Loved creating our own wine blend, cycling around the vineyard and trying to fish in the dam. Our stay was magical!"

Excelsior manor
"We found the Excelsior Manor very comfortable in the most attractive old Dutch Cape House. The room was large and the swimming pool a good size for the number of guests. We had dinner on three evenings which was of a very high standard and breakfast by the pool made an excellent start to the day. It was nice to stay on a working winery"
