Eight Bells Mountain Inn

A lovely overnight stay at this well established old school gem. Peaceful and relaxing. We were the only guests and were treated like royalty. The food was so delicious, we had lunch, afternoon tea with scones and cheesecake, dinner in the diningroom - lamb was yum yum yummy and so was the ostrich bobotie. Breakfast this morning had all the bells and whistles which is included in your stay. The staff are friendly, engaging and love what they do. The fire just for us in the lounge was wonderful as we sat reading. The arm chairs were so comfortable, I wanted to bring them home. Lovely escape in the country with top notch facilities. Do buy a bottle of their homemade marmalade- you will not be sorry. Our first visit ever and definitely will be back as it's "in our backyard". Ideal for couples, families and groups.

Aah, this place is just fantastic! The cleanliness, the food, and the staff service are all excellent. It has a unique historical background to it, which gives it such charm. There are also horses and a cute donkey to see. I'd return.

The various hikes are great, well marked. Some steap inclines but good tracks. Saw proteas along the way. Not much shade, so bring hats and enough water.
