Over The Mountain Guest Farm — Hotel in George

Please do yourselves a favour and stay away from this Over the Mountain Guest Farm tea garden for we received very poor quality of food and drinks...my husband ordered plunger coffee but received coffee so weak we could actually see through it and it tasted horrible...I ordered rooibos tea but instead I received normal english tea! When we received our food the cinnamon and sugar pancakes were very salty and my husbands griddle cake were like a slamming cake.

The location itself was absolutely stunning and serene. Waking up and catching the scent of jasmine on the breeze just added to the peacefulness of the area. Some of the facilities on site were a swimming pool, a trampoline and a tea garden to relax in. The guest farm offered b&b styled rooms with food served from the kitchen and could be enjoyed in the tea garden as well as self-catering rooms.

All in all, we had a fantastic two nights and would definitely recommend Over The...
