2. Merwida Wine Cellar

6th Generation family vintners in the fertile soils of the Breede River Valley. Our wines capture the essence of this magical terroir.
Reviewed By Lieza L
Be ware - this is a biased review. My paternal family has farmed here for six generations. The seventh generation - closely connected to the farm - was christened two weeks ago at Merwida. This was a splendid occasion and there was ample opportunity to sample all the wines on offer at the cellar.
I am a red wine drinker and the Barbera is my favourite although the Cabernet Sauvignon is as excellent. The estate also make a pinotage, but as I am not partial to the taste I cannot comment. The sparkling wine is a also winner. I'll leave the sweet wines and the white wines to those who have a sweet tooth and others who prefer white wines.
However, my namesake young Lieza is now the assistant winemaker at the cellar and their Sauvignon Blanc has been in the top ten in South Africa since 2015.
For Christina Petronella's christening we toasted to the speeches with a specially labelled Chenin Blanc, which for a non-white wine drinker, was delicious.
Do visit!

Always a pleasure to drop by Fairy Glen renowned for their broad knowledge of the various animals roaming between the Mountains.. Great for an animal experience all year around. Whether it be a day or overnight visit a great time will be had by the whole family. There is an age restriction for kids doing the safari so wise to give a call first..........

Wow, what a wonderful place!! Definitely more a case of ‘wine drinking’ rather than ‘wine tasting’, and the cheese and meat platters were just outstanding. Stettyn Cellar is in a beautiful location, and the whole experience was just fabulous. The wines are wonderful, and so reasonably priced. If you’re in the vicinity of Villiersdorp, you simply must go!

Stopped here on our way back from Montagu. The pictures are spot on.
The range of gift items here is amazing & the bags for sale are very well priced with great designs & options.
We bought local peaches which have been devoured, the aroma & taste just delicious. Even the car smelt lovely Great range of homemade products to choose from & I purchased mango leather roll (yummy) & biscuits - excellent quality.

We stayed one night at the casino and had a meal at the Kuipers Restaurant. It is the worst service ever experienced in a restaurant. The restaurant was not even busy. It was a Wednesday evening. It was the vening of the fish special. When food arrived it was cold. The waiter we had was totally disorganised. We also ordered a sald that never arrived. Will never eat again at that restaurant. Stay away. Rather go across the road to the shopping complex with many good restaurants to choose from.
9. Klipbokkop Mountain Reserve
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Hooggenoeg - Johannesburg, South Africa
It is quite a Mission to get to Klipbokkop, and the facilities should make for a perfect corporate get-away. The location in the Mountains in a private reserve is incredible!They also offer 4x4 excursions.
It is however unfortunate that the decor and rooms are of a 1* standard, the rooms are as basic as can be. The public areas are also hideous.
In the bedroom there is not even a telephone, or TV, the wash basin is IN the bedroom etc etc. There also also no recliners at the (lovely) pool.
Also not even an espresso machine in sight - is a Nespresso machine that expensive?? (bring your own!). And they even charged me R30 for a horrible attempt at a!home-made espresso. They even charge for a bucket of ice - R12! - COME ON!
One gets the sense that the on-site beer brewery is the focus at Klipbokkop. Or they ran out of funds to complete what could have been a perfect corporate get-away.
BTW - the manager Sonja confirmed that they take group bookings, minimum of 5 rooms.
Pity that one has to avoid this place.
10. Worcester Museum

Reviewed By Kobus69 - Western Cape, South Africa
The outside farm displayed is a very good idea and could be interesting. We visited this place for the live-museum experience (Thursday morning at about 10:00). Unfortunately, this aspect of the museum was disappointing. The outside farm area is not well kept or maintained and there were no live farm activities. However, the static displays inside the exhibition hall was very comprehensive, interesting and well laid out.
