Diemersfontein Wine & Country Estate

We stayed here for three nights in February. Not a great experience. The estate was sold by the Sonnenberg family in late-2024. Much very necessary modernisation and rebuilding is now being undertaken by the new owners. Lovely gardens. The cottages where guests stay haven't been upgraded for years and are pure 1950s. Staff friendly and obliging but woprking under difficult conditions. We had good breakfasts, average dinners on the new terrace and an excellent wine tasting.

We spent a brilliant weekend at the wine farm from 4 January. The service was first class and the accommodation exceeded our expectations. The lady who did the wine tasting was extremely knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this wine farm to anyone

This was a great getaway. Everything about the stay was amazing. Rooms were nice and cozy. The food the restaurant serviced was 10 out of 10.

1. The rooms weren’t clean 2. Fought off mosquito most part of the night 3. Never got to wine taste when I had arrived. Two staff told me different closing time so I missed out. Never mind as I was being told time is up, there are some guests that were still being served. 4. While watching sunset, I ordered tea. It was not served & no one bothered. The only beautiful thing was the sunset I wouldn’t recommend this establishment to a friend.

Place is under construction. Noice of grinding, smell of burning tiles as they are renovating. Restaurant is not functioning and if you have any mobility impairment delay your stay until you can be sure what you book. Have to acknowledge the staff who are trying to make the best of impossible situations. We are checking out earlier than planned

De kamers hebben een grondige opknapbeurt nodig. De spiegel die normaal boven de wastafel zou moeten hangen, die hing boven het toilet. Het restaurant was nog het meest trieste. De eerste avond was het eten koud. De buitenkant van de lamshank was warm, maar binnenin was hij koud. Het ontbijt de volgende ochtend een t****e teleurstelling. In de ontbijtruimte was een meeting aan de gang, die eigenlijk pas na het ontbijt had mogen starten. De ober van dienst wist niet eens dat hij ontbijtgasten had. We mochten in een hoekje zitten. De t****e avond in het restaurant probeerden we de seafood pasta. Wat zou je daar aan kunnen verpesten? De garnalen bleken koud te zijn en de saus was een soort van soep.En toen we een kaasplankje bestelden kregen we te horen dat er niet genoeg kaas was. Dat was echt de limit. Bij het uitchecken onze ervaring gedeeld en we zouden door de manager teruggebeld worden. Dat is uiteraard nooit gebeurd. Het boeit ze gewoon niet.
