Ekogaia Farm Cottages Reviews

We had a 2 night stay in Helix Cottage at EkoGaia Farm Cottages at the end of our 3 week trip to South Africa and just before catching the plane to go home. We were very pleased to have seen it recommended in the Rough Guide otherwise we would almost certainly have missed one of the highlights of our trip. It was really nice to meet with Glenn and Colette who were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We had the added bonus of watching their lovely daughters Mila and Aliya give us a cooking demonstration!
The building (divided into 2 separate cottages) is located in its own grounds with views of mountains and ocean and 5 minutes walk to the Noordhoek Farm Village which contains a group of craft and food outlets and most importantly the Foodbarn restaurant. We had a very memorable last dinner in South Africa. Eating here is a must. Though rather expensive by South African standards the food was outstanding and the recommended wines were equally good. Glenn and Colette will no doubt insist that guests eat there.
The cottage is really nice as well as being very unusual. The open stairs to the sleeping area make the room appear bigger and all is bright and airy. Everything one needs is provided and the atmosphere is very relaxing.
Whilst having very easy access to Cape Town (we got Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in about 20 minutes) it is like staying deep in the countryside so for us the location was excellent. The start of the Chapman Peak Drive is a couple of minutes away and access to the southern Cape was very easy so we saw everything we wanted to see without the hassle of city traffic. The (provided) description of how to get to Ekogaia was really good so we arrived without any problems.
We would like to have stayed longer and would certainly stay again if and when we visit Cape Town in the future. If you want to visit Cape Town but want a quiet and beautiful place to stay then Ekogaia could be for you. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ekogaia Farm Cottages.

Such a beautiful place. Glenn was responsive and unobtrusive. The place was clean, quiet, very reasonable. Perfect for those in love or someone wanting to get away from it all. Has all the basic necessities, and shops and restaurants are within walking distance. Overall...LOVED the place and will definitely be staying there again! Soon hopefully!

We loved the coziness, friendliness, kitchen facilities and comfortable beds at Ekogaia. It truly was a perfect place to stay as we lived just a few minutes away and needed to be in the area while moving. We would rate the Ekogaia cottage 10 out of 10! It met all of our needs and more!
