Bianca says ” UPS saving us from the dreaded loadshedding stage 6″

Hey Diane, I just wanted to say what an outstanding experience this was – in every way! Keep doing what you’re doing!

This was by far the most incredible Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. I couldn’t fault anything and the amount of care and attention to detail that Diane & Ant put into creating a wonderful experience was just so heartwarming. Incredible views with beautiful big red sunsets every night and the cottage itself is so well equipped with pretty much everything you can think of right down to a UPS saving us from the dreaded load-shedding stage 6. The hot tub being heated and ready to use on arrival was a welcome touch after our long drive to get there and the self-cook breakfast option was a fantastic add-on. I cant recommend this place more!

Adene says Equleni is better than Paris

The Tuffet Studio is officially our favourite place on this earth. Better than Paris and on par with the Nature Valleys in Turkey. An excellent combination of luxury in the wild. Very private and beautifully decorated. The bird hide is a must and definitely have the hot tub pre-heated for your arrival. The farm is also super conveniently located near Sedgefield although the studio is very well equipped.

Diane is truly a superhost! Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful space that allows you to enjoy nature in the lap of luxury. Your care and attention to detail was perfect. We can’t wait for our next visit x

Theolan recommends the continental breakfast

A most brilliant stay at Equleni. From start to end, every moment was just awesome. Diane and the team are such wonderful people to have hosted us. The view from the property, especially when in the hot tub is beautiful and relaxing. Time seems to stand still as you unwind with another sundowner. The place has everything you need and even some thoughtful touches like the modern light switches with the usb ports, and more than one electric point on the outside. I definitely recommend the Continental breakfast, omg the croissants, muffins and cold meat are to die for. The muffins are kinda like high tea snacks, and biting into a blue berry marshmallow, way different from and tastier than most coffee shops. The croissants…i cant see a Frenchie complaining about this, hats off to the baker. The place is 15min to great pizza places, steak house and Cola Beach. All in all, its a place i rate high, i recommend and would love to return. Cheers to Equleni Guest Farm.

Natja – Stunning views and privacy

“I would have given more stars if I could. Everything is there and you can go hiking or cycling right from the cottage. Amazing spot to relax. The place was absolute magic! We stayed for 9 nights and could happily stayed for many more. This is a little piece of heaven. The communication was always spot on and yet they had thought of every small detail in the cottage to make our stay amazing – from large towels to extra dish towels to a laundry basket – everything you need is there. Thanks so much for your incredible hospitality Diane!”

Gustav enjoyed a wonderful family get together in the Cabin

We booked The Cabin for a special get together of two families over a weekend and it was just the perfect choice. The location on Rondevlei, amid fynbos, birdsong and just a 5min drive from the Three Farmers Market in Sedgefield, offered us the best of all worlds. On the farm there are beautifully laid walking trails, giving easy access to the lake and bird hideout. The Cabin is spacious and our family of five could spread out and then gather in the central living area for the cooking and meals together and reading from the well appointed bookshelves or the board games available. Not to mention the luxury of the outside fire pit and just when you thought it couldn’t be any better, the hot tub is there to pamper even the most grumpy traveler! Diane makes sure nothing is amiss, from the ice cold welcome bubbly, to the flower bouquets, individual chocolates, and much more. The Cabin has everything you have at home, and more. We loved the market visit on Saturday. But otherwise just stayed out to enjoy the wonderful setting and each and every sunset and sunrise. We ordered Diane’s hot breakfast for our final morning, and again, we felt like royalty with both the presentation and delicacies included. Thank you Diane and family for a truly lovely experience and for all the little and not so little extras! We look forward to coming back for more.

Diane, thank you for making the experience so special. All the detail. Nothing was amiss. We had a wonderful family get together as a result!

Eugene had this to say about his stay in the “Tuffet”

This is the ultimate romantic getaway… the space is jam packed with thoughtful touches, stylish touches throughout and the space though intimate is well thought out and flows by design. The level of attentiveness and ensuring you get there and get settled is next level also. The hot tub / splash pool is more spacious and versatile than a Kol Kol hot tub and provides a great view and balmy warm retreat for cooler weather. I would highly recommend this place.

Superb all around it is the consideration and fine touches and style with which your team executives which really makes one feel so seen and welcome.

Some of the Equleni Farm goings on this week

🥰 it’s all about abundance. A beautiful litter of 6 abandoned kittens and their Mom are welcomed to the farm. Primarily to help us keep mice at bay, but really just to give them a forever home 🥰 Lillies are introduced to the Elephant Pond, for their prettiness and also to give the fish some shade & protection from the birds 🥰 We are swimming in passionfruit 🥰 The beautiful fruit as well as baby passionfruit vines. Also, so many unusual plants popping up in our fynbos. We have so much to be grateful for even though the rest of the world seems to have gone quite mad.
