Experience Wittedrift Manor House in the heart of Tulbagh

Your feet will bring you to where your heart is, say the Irish, and once your feet reach Wittedrift Manor House, your heart will definitely skip a beat with happiness.

The old Manor House, situated on the corner of the famous Church Street, makes you feel at home the second you walk through the front door. Walking through the house I couldn’t help but feel at home.

The unique details of the accommodation, such as the antique chandeliers, the variety of art that adorns the walls and the massive farm-style kitchen, give the impression that this house was built with love and welcomes guests accordingly.

Wittedrift Manor House is warm and welcoming

The owner, PJ Daly says; “We were charmed by the people, the wine and the magic of Tulbagh. We want people to experience Tulbagh as we did and what better way than to offer them a magical place to stay.”

The six bedroom self-catering house is managed by Carol Collins, owner of the renowned Readers Restaurant. The restaurant is situated a short stroll from the house and the food is amazing. If you’re visiting in summer be sure to try some of the secret flavour ice-creams.

The house was built in the traditional Cape Dutch style. This means the bedrooms are divided in different wings with no more than two bedrooms in each wing. Connecting the different areas is the gorgeous dining room with the original chandeliers hanging proudly above the table.

Experience the luxury on offer

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
