Beautiful setting, very relaxed. Highly recomended!


Charming by

We stopped over for a night on our way to Grahamstown from Johannesburg and plan on doing so next time. The place is even better than the photos on the website. It's a beautiful place full of charm. There were six of us travelling and everyone loved the place.


A great disappointment by

At first I was very impressed by the other reviews of previous guests to Conville Guest Farm.  However, on our arrival we found the Family Room extremely cold.  There were only 2 small fan heaters - one in each room, and the one in the main bedroom did not even have an adapter so that we could connect it to the power outlet.  We also found loose hanging fittings, falling out of the walls - seems to be some kinds of electrical fittings - just dangling by the wires.  We also had our grandson of nearly 2 years old with us - and in the bathroom we found medication in the one cupboard and a bottle of turpentine in the other cupboard - thus easily accessible by our grandson!!!  The carpets in the rooms where also extremely dirty, and as they were loose carpets we found that it seems that it also has not been cleaned in ages underneath them - as our grandson picked one up.  Behind and next to all cupboards were pushed in broken picture frames and other odds.  Needless to say:  we immediately left, not even thinking twice about all the money we were loosing - as we've already paid in full up front.  We will never return here, and we will also never recommend this place to anyone ever!  Even the one star I am giving it is way too much - would prefer to have been able to give it a negative 5 stars.




We had a wonderful time at Conville Guest Farm with friendly hosts. An error with the booking was resolved immediately and we were sad to leave the following day as we would have liked to spend more time there and will be back for sure. We hope that this gem will be preserved for may more guests and future generations.
