GUEST REVIEW
“Fantasties mooi en lekker, wens ons kon vir altyd net hier bly.”
Ons was twee gesinne wat saam hier oornag het, en was aangenaam verras met hoe pragtig hierdie plaashuis is. Dis besonders mooi gemeubileer en was heerlik skoon en netjies. Ons is selfs deur ons gasvrou bederf met `n "Marmite-tert" wat uit die boonste rakke was! Die omgewing is natuurlik ook pragtig en ons sal bitter graag weer hier wil kom oorbly. Francisco is verseker `n onvergeetlike bestemming!

“Uitsonderlik
Pragtige opgeknapte plaashuis, ten volle toegerus. Ons is gul ontvang, en Grietjie het selfs `n koek vir ons gebak. Ons het die stilte en rustigheid geniet, en gaan beslis terug.”

Baie dankie Grietjie en Hardus. Ons het verskriklik lekker gebly en gekuier by Francisco Gastehuis. Lieflik stil en rustig.
