“All in all good value for money if only take the accommodation into account .”
Good location . The drive on the farm to the accommodation is disappointing , unpainted and some deserted buildings . The actual accommodation was comfortable , pretty views over lake , nice pool virtually on doorstep . decor tired and outdated., but considering the price it was fine , clean and thankful to have the air conditioning in the heat .. Staff ( Josua ) very friendly and helpful .

“A perfect place for our needs on the last night of our Africa Tour.”
We chose Le Bonheur because we were meeting friends at Babylonstoren before exploring the local wineries. It was in a perfect position for both purposes. On our first night, we were able to easily get Uber cabs to and from the Chef's Warehouse restaurant where we also met our friends and our wine tour was easy from this location. We self-catered for breakfasts and used their barbecue for the second dinner. The apartment was a very good size and very well appointed. We would happily stay here again. The drive to Cape Town Airport on our last day was under an hour.

“Lovely setting, both apartments were comfortable. Excellent value for money”
Centrally located. We were only there for 1 night but will definitely go back for a longer stay. Setting is beautiful, well maintained and there is a lot to do.
