Excellent hospitality and accommodating. The employees and owners go out of their way to accommodate their guests with comfort. My business trip felt like a "home away from home". Thank you and you will definitely see me again.

Uitstekende gasvryheid en akkommoderend. Die werknemers en eienaars gaan uit hul pad om hul gaste met gerief te akkommodeer. My sakereis het soos 'n "home away from home" gevoel. Dankie en julle sal my definitief weer sien.

Beautiful place, friendly staff, but rather for a couple, or whole family. As a solo traveler this time, a TV would have been welcome. Amazing to hear the trickle of water all the time, but I'm not sure if the rooms further from the trickle could hear it. To me it sounded like I was at the sea. It's a winding road both ways when you exit the premises, and no lights on the road, which makes it difficult for a solo traveler to drive out for dinner in the evening, and the guest house does not have dinner options. Parking is not very close to your room - I suggest someone is available, especially to help solo travelers with their luggage to the room. Furthermore, it was really amazing, very nice breakfast, and very friendly staff.

Pragtige plek, vriendelike personeel, maar eerder vir 'n paartjie, of hele gesin. As 'n alleenreisiger die keer, sou 'n TV welkom gewees het. Ongelooflik om heeltyd die waterstroompie te hoor, maar ek is nie seker of die kamers verder van die stroompie af dit kon hoor nie. Vir my het dit geklink of ek by die see is. Dis 'n kronkelpad beide rigtings wanneer jy uit die perseel gaan, en geen ligte op die pad nie, wat dit moeilik maak vir 'n alleenreisiger om in die aand uit te ry vir aandete, en die gastehuis het nie aandete-opsies nie. Parkering is nie baie naby jou kamer nie - ek stel voor iemand is beskikbaar, om veral alleenreisigers te help met hulle bagasie na die kamer. Verder was dit rêrig ongelooflik, baie lekker ontbyt, en baie vriendelike personeel.

Amazing! The stay we had at Gowan Valley Guest Farm had the most amazing view and setting. Just the right accommodation to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city life. The Room was perfect. Breakfast was great. I would definitely recommend Gowan Valley Guest Farm.

Beautiful, idyllic setting, with warm and welcoming hosts. From the first moment you drive into Gowan Valley, you know that you're going to have a restful experience. From the soothing sounds of the river that rushes through the property, to the beautiful Nguni cattle grazing in the grass, to the horses running wild and free through the fields, everything about Gowan Valley speaks to peace, quiet, and R&R. Then you get to meet Deanne and Brett, whose hospitality and warmth will reassure you that you are in the right place. Everything about Gowan Valley seems carefully considered and meticulously prepared, from the beautiful breakfast area that overlooks the river, to the well-appointed rooms that are spacious, bright, and comfortable. I highly recommend Gowan Valley for your next visit to the Midlands; I would stay again without hesitation. Thank-you, Deanne and Brett, for a wonderful visit!
