We had a lovely time.

The kids loved the dogs and my daughter could not wait to feed and tend to the horses in the morning. Really a lovely place and will recommend it to friends and family

What a wonderful Garden! We had a wonderful stay with David and Fiona. They even organised an early morning ride with Ruth for us! Paradise on Earth...

Stunning view

Shane Dwyer, South Africa

09 December 2008

We thoroughly enjoyed our two days at Acara, which was far too short. The gardens with all the birds, are magnificent, the view stunning, the accommodation very comfortable and mine hostess charming and helpful. Having "working stables" was an added bonus. My wife and I have travelled to Stellenbosch many times over the years staying frequently in B&B's in the district visiting our children at the University and Acara is the best we have stayed in.

Very good
