Reviews from previous Orange Grove Farm guests
“Amazing farm, great for that romantic getaway or family vacation. The farm offers a few cottages that can accommodate either a couple or families. Very private and clean, each cottage has it’s own splash pools for those hot summer days. Staff is friendly and very welcoming, great braai spot at the cottage and cozy fireplace in mosesberg cottage for those cold winter stays. Would highly recommend it to anyone,” wrote begumharrs on their TripAdvisor reviews page.
MarvZet added; “From the moment we arrived at reception our hosts treated us with country charm and friendliness. Our lodge were well equipped and welcoming, with views to die for. Sitting outside on the patio overlooking the vineyard, is just about as peaceful as you will ever feel in your life. We had braais (barbecue) on the patio, leisurely breakfasts around the dining table and long walks along farm roads and through the vineyards. This was an unforgettable getaway and we will definitely try to come again.”
