This is a very good accommodation. Everything is good organized, nice, and the breakfast tasted fine. This place is not primary for kids, but the pool was the best of our holidays and our 5-year old boy enjoyed the stay as much as we did. The owner is very friendly and gave us good advise for for the rest of... More

We arrived direct from the airport and were welcomed and given immediate access to our rooms. Arrival is supposed to be after 3pm and we arrived at 2pm.( I didn't read the info)Both rooms were spacious and opened into the garden. The Two Chef's restaurant where we breakfasted and ate our evening meals was fantastic. The steak was superb. The... More

What a super place Marleen and Eric have. The location is good and our room was large and comfortable overlooking the pool and garden. We had breakfast in the restaurant on site whilst watching the activities of all the wildlife. Next door is an amazing wine estate with tastings and picnics in the most beautiful surroundings. Our tip is to... More

My husband and I spent two wonderful days at Ons Genot and the experience was fantastic. The food at the Two Chef's restaurant was delicious and the lodge was wonderful. The Lodge is situated near most of the wine farms. We both enjoyed our well deserved break. More

After spending some time touring around Australia I touched down in Ons Genot. A home away from home. The location of the lodge is perfect. All the highlights are a short drive away. Outstanding restaurants in the area. Cheers to the hosts Marleen and Eric. Fountain of knowledge on how to spend your days. Ideas on day trips, good dinners,... More

We enjoyed the lovely room and overall decor. The setting was cosy, neath and comfortable. The staff is friendly and diligent and the owner shows personal interest in her guests in a friendly and professional manner. The restaurant where one can have breakfast and meals is very nearby (on the property itself) and the staff there is also very friendly... More

Ons Genot has a saying: "Where guests become friends". Well, I guess we did not qualify as guests. The front door was jammed (Marleen the owner) blamed South African craftmanship and the swelling of the wood (due to the rain), but had no interest in either fixing it or helping the "guests" open it. After a while, we stopped trying... More

A very nice stay and good value for your money. The host is very friendly and helpful - she really went out of her way to accommodate my needs. The surroundings are gorgeous. I loved waking up hearing the birds chirp. The food at "Two Chefs" was out of this world! I had a great time! "Ons genot" comes highly... More

Ah, this place deserves a minimum two night stay. We stayed here on a recommendation from our Cape Town host at Radium Hall. It's so hard to describe this place but pretty much what everyone has said sums it up. Comfortable rooms, so much so that when I woke up, I had to lie there and remember where exactly I... More
