Oaksrest Vineyards Guest Farm (4 Star Graded) — Hotel in George

We were a group of 8 on a hiking / cycling trip over 7 days. Seven very comfortably accommodated in 5 bedrooms/ suites within the large farmhouse called Pinotage and one in a chalet named Chenin Blanc. You are immersed in the vineyards, with amazing views particularly northwards of the imposing mountain Towerkop. ||The hosts Phillip (2 ll’s - a joke with him!) and his wife Louisa along with other family members and staff could not have done more for us. Delicious and plentiful breakfasts ( requested in advance) delivered promptly with a smile to the farmhouse - were varied each day and set us up for our adventures. ||The highlight for an evening meal was a spitbraai lamb prepared skilfully by Phillip over 4 hours and served to us and our other friends who came across from elsewhere, making around 25 in total. There is a huge dining / party area on the farm where the spitbraai was served along with a second delicious evening meal for the group. ||Our plans changed day by day due to variations in our hiking and cycling itineraries and yet, Phillip and Louisa dealt so well with this. One lunchtime at short notice they produced a picnic lunch of note for us on the banks of their beautiful lake / dam overlooking the farm and mountains complete with gazebo, wine and beers! The setting could not have been more idyllic. ||The memories of Oaksrest will live with all of us and we will without doubt return soon to make some new ones. ||Thank you so much...

This campsite at Oakrest will remain in our memories as one of the most spectacular locations on all our travels. Stunning views of the mountains. Total tranquility next to the water. Lush green grass under your feet. Total bliss. Power points and water available. Super nice ablutions and kitchen. Very convenient to have the washing machine. There was no tumble drier when we were there. They even have a communal camping fridge, kettle & microwave oven. The owners were very hospitable. The hiking trail was beautiful. Surprisingly, this campsite was more affordable than most others on our tour and pensioners get 25% discount. We will definitely...

On arrival, we felt most welcome to stay at Oakrest Vinyard. We were directed to find the most beautiful cottage equipped with all the utensils we would need for the next two days. The picturesque view of Towerkop Mountain was a total surprise to us. If you are looking for the best place to stay in the area, then this is the place. Thank you Oakrest Vinyard family for being such wonderful hosts and making our stay so comfortable. We would surely be visiting soon again to enjoy the walking trails with or without...
