What people say

What is not to like. The staff were excellent and nothing were to big for them to do. All you had to do was ask. The food in the restaurant was superb and service with a smile. Palmiet Valley was very well run, it was a relaxing, quiet and peaceful experience. Large pretty gardens with Cape Dutch buildings dotted around them. A special place to stay.

Staff Accommodation Breakfast Service. the staff made the place. they were very helpful and the chef was very friendly. the meals were excellent served outdoors under the large old oak trees with lunch and afternoon tea available if required all served from delicate english porcelain.. Very pretty location with beautiful Cape Dutch buildings. Great breakfast and served until 11am!. Wonderful view Excellent breakfast. Unfortunately the owner had died unexpectedly 12 months prior to our visit and it seemed as though the TLC had been lost as the place was not quite as clean as I would expect from a 5 star premises. the antique furniture was very nice but collected dust easily. Our cottage had lots of flies as it was close to the fruit farm and orchard. Very old sagging matrasses with dip in the middle. Beds can't be made onto 1 large bed, there's a 10cm gap in the middle due to the bedframe. Shower drainage (room 5) couldn't handle the water so overflows onto the bathroom floor. My girlfriend asked for a bottle of white wine. Instead of being offered a wine-list the lady brought us a bottle and upon checking out we found out that this bottle happened to be the most expensive bottle on the list. Not very customer friendly!. Electricity tripped No bath Room is missing some modern luxuries which you come to expect when travelling (E.G. tv).
