We stayed at Hawksmoor for a wedding and although we were a small group, the whole place was blocked out for us, which made it feel very intimate and more special. We felt like we were at home. Kirsten and her team are hands on, yet never invading. I think they even arrange the stunning sunsets for their guests ...!... More

A fabulous old mansion, to which you are welcomed like a valued house guest. Tea and cakes are made for you on arrival and enormous care is taken by the management to make your stay as good as possible. Perfect for relaxation, and ideally situated for a visit to the winelands, and nearby Stellenbosch and Franschoek. Might be a bit... More

We stayed at Hawksmoor house for a week in March and absolutely loved it. The staff are so friendly and helpful, with dinner recommendations, places to visit etc. And amazing breakfasts - lots of fresh fruit and great views of table mountain. And we love dogs so the friendly dogs are a bonus. This place attracts really nice guests too,... More

Incredible boutique homestead stay that offers such a lifestyle change to hotel accommodation. Centrally located between Western Cape wine region. Gorgeous, spacious rooms & impeccable service. Extremely well appointed rooms with all holiday stay needs covered. One of my favourite stays away from home, just due to the completely unique accommodation setting. Very highly recommended.

I am delighted I found Hawksmoor! It is a great location from which to explore the wine region; staff were incredibly helpful with suggestions/bookings for restaurants and other vineyards to visit. The wine-tasting at Hawksmoor was the best I had of four that I did. The house is set beautifully at the end of a long drive with a pool... More

I stayed at Hawksmoor last month for one night. I loved the history of the buildings, the antique furniture and the tranquility. It is absolutely beautiful. I would have loved to spend more time there. It was magical. The staff were friendly. I walked around the beautiful grounds and swam in pool. We had drinks on the verandah with views... More

Set in a Cape Dutch farmhouse each room is individually designed (we saw three as part of a mini tour) with huge beds, vat like baths, great showers etc. Rooms are located both in the main house and in the various buildings around the property (we were in the former slave quarters which now have four large rooms in) which...

We took three rooms for New year's eve and Jan 01. The entire place smell bad and hasn't been cleaned up for months. There are Rats in the attic over the room on the left side of the building which are really noisy at night. All showers showed important growth of black mould. Really disappointing... This is sad because the... More

What a great place to stay. The house and the rooms are just lovely decorated with nice old antique furniture but has every modern ameneties you need. Also the sourroundings a rally nice - you feel a little bit like you are in a enchanted garden, as it more like natural garden or let's say a little bit neglected. The... More
