Dunstone Country House

Dirk was a friendly and engaging host who made sure that we were well looked after. The Lavender Cottage has wonderfully comfortable bedding and is spacious and airy. The windows face a beautiful view of the well-maintained swimming pool and surrounding mountains. There is also a small private garden where the scents of lavender, rosemary and honeysuckle are a treat to the senses. We enjoyed the breakfast and generously sized filter coffee at The Stone Kitchen. Bain's Kloof Pass is a beautiful drive nearby. Definitely will visit again!

It was my first time in South Africa with a small child... Dunstone was the perfect start. If you want peace and quiet, enjoy nature, relax by the pool, eat well... then Dunstone is the right place! And as someone who doesn't drink red wine, I learned to love it! Yummy! Natascha and Dirk gave us more than just the feeling of being a guest! They are warm and open. Available immediately if you have any questions! They give you tips on where to eat and drink, what to see and do and they always thought of my son so he can have fun to. The property is large and beautiful and my son was able to move around freely. The room was always clean and the staff was very friendly. The stonekitchen... a dream for children and parents... I was able to enjoy my meal in peace while my son was able to play in the playground. and even in bad weather there is an indoor playground. Perfect. The staff was always more than friendly! I will definitely come back there!

Dunestone is one of. If not the most beautiful place I have ever stayed at. The people are super friendly the views are breathtakingly beautiful. The wine tastes awesome as well. you can feel that Dirk and Natascha are doing this with real love and passion. Also the restaurant the stone kitchen has a very nice and broad menu where you can surely find something you like in the morning, evening or during the day. I would recommend Dunestone to everyone i know.

A group of walkers spent 2 nights at Dunstone Country House and what a treat. The rooms are well appointed with top quality bedding. Our host Natascha did all she could to make our stay enjoyable despite the challenges of load shedding. We had excellent meals at Stone Kitchen which is on the property. Would highly recommend Dunstone and hope to return.

We loved our stay! The new owners, Dirk and Natascha made us feel right at home! The accommodation is comfortable, and the amenities perfect. Let's not forget the farm, which is absolutely beautiful in itself. We will definitely be back.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the wonderful weekend my family and I spent at Dunstone. The Guava Cottage we stayed in was simply gorgeous. The views of the surrounding vineyards and guava trees, coupled with the stunning mountains in the distance, made for a truly magical setting. We were thrilled to find that Dunstone is also family-friendly. Our young kids had lots of fun going for walks, playing at the restaurants kid friendly facilities and swimming in our own private pool. The Stone Kitchen restaurant which caters for kids, located just a few meters away from our cottage, offered a great option of food. We did not have to leave the estate as we could eat in or go to the restaurant which made our stay so flexible and easy. Most of all, I would like to commend our hosts Natasha and Dirk on their hospitality, warmth and kindness. From the moment we arrived, we felt like valued guests. Thank you once again for providing us with such a memorable experience.

Stunning, peaceful, tranquil. The hidden gem with a breath taking mountain view. Beautiful gardens, wonderful, lush green landscapes. Soak up up the views. Beautiful renovated stables. Wonderful hosts Dirk and Natascha. We will definitely come again.

We stayed 4 nights in Guava Cottage with our 8 year old son. We were very warmly welcomed by the new Belgian owners Natasha and Dirk who have not long taken the farm over. The cottage sits alone with vines on one side and gauva trees on the others. An enclosed garage with a sparkling swimming pool, a definite hit with our son! The cottage itself has every comfort. Beds were comfy with fresh linen. A bath and a shower. Fluffy towels and organic soaps. Full kitchen for self catering with much needed washing machine. Lovely welcome tray with tea, coffee and rusks. Bottle of wine in the fridge. Wine from the farm was lovely. There is a restaurant within a minutes walk that makes a good coffee and breakfast. There are other high end restaurants near by so choice of places to eat. The farm has a reception where you can meet other guests, speak with staff and have a drink from the honesty bar all whilst looking at the amazing views in the valley. Natasha and Dirk looked after us so well. Our son was even allowed to pick the grapes at harvest under their supervision. Don't hesitate to book!

Stayed for a couple of days over the Tour du Cap Cycle Tour. Very conveniently located for cycling in the Wellington area - Bainskloof Pass in unbelievable! New owners still finding their feet but very welcoming and friendly - wish them all the best in their new venture.
