Kampala Farm

Love, love, LOVED this place! Perfect getaway from the busy urbanization of everyday life, found it pretty tough to say goodbye. All the necessary facilities within my booked cabin as well. Felt like I was entirely a part of Nature. Would highly recommend!

Need 4x4 when it is raining. The view are breathtaking and facilities are great just for a escape from everyday life or bigger events like a wedding.

Very nice rustic venue. Excellent for weddings and parties. -Party Time event hiring team

Fantastic. An experience everybody MUST have

Beautiful rustic wedding venue in the country.

Wonderful place centred in the middle of wine country

What a beautiful farm in such a beautiful area with beautiful hiking trails and lookout points. It is just such a pity about the state of the accomodation and the disinterest of the management.We paid R2300 for the unit (Sahara) for 2 nights. Before we arrived, I was sent an SMS from the manager to tell me to see info for the farm. No directions were sent and my reply to the number asking where to find the directions was unanswered. Thank goodness we could use Google maps and arrived there safely.When we arrived at the gate of the farm, I phoned the the number that was given with the booking and which I received an SMS from. The lady (Elmarie) gave us the code to the gate and said we could go straight to the unit and did not need to report to reception.On arriving at our unit, we were amazed at how beautiful and secluded it was. This quickly changed as we entered the unit. It was immediately evident that the unit had not been cleaned properly since the previous guests were there.The bathroom bin had used plasters and a used disposable razor in. There was also toothpaste splatters on the counter and in the basin from the previous guests. The bin and the sink in the kitchen was also dirty.The water in the shower constantly went from scalding hot to ice cold and this made it very difficult to shower with our toddler daughter. The bathroom also had the most horrific sewerage smell for our entire stay.When we entered the bedrooms, it was clear that the bedding had not been cleaned recently as there was gecko poo on it. We did enjoy the beautiful big geckos on the ceilings but it was evident that the bedding hadn't been changed before we arrived.The website also mentioned a beautiful stoep and outside braai. The stoep is beautiful but the braai is old, rusted and had holes in. Seeing that the bases of the beds, the inside braai and the seating area outside are all made from stones, I don't understand why the outside braai area was not built like that?Being an avid animal, insect and nature lover, it was quite disheartening to find Doom and Raid in every room in the house. I don't understand why any owner or management would want to advocate spraying this poison especially with birds and reptiles around.As we had no communication from the management, I sent Elmari an SMS the day before we had to leave to ask if there is a specific time we need to check out and what we need to do with the keys of the unit. I never received a reply and we decided that we were a bit over the stay and left at 10AM the morning.We would have loved to have met the managers and to find out what other things there were to do in the area but we felt as if the management could not care less about us.Up until now, I still haven't received a reply from Elmarie and I find it quite shocking and rude.Unfortunately we will not be returning to this beautiful farm and will also not be recommending it to anyone.

The wedding venue was great and it is also used as an entertainment venue for shows. We also stayed in their accomodation which has an amazing location out in the bush. 1 star dropped though as the house we stayed in had water that was either ice cold or scalding hot or moving between the two but you could not get it to stop somewhere at an ideal temperature. This was blamed on water pressure but the tank feeding the geyser has the potential of being placed higher up the hill to increase the pressure.

Nice venue for a weekend wedding.

Rustic look and feel. Beautiful setting. Neat and clean accommodation.
