We absolutely loved having the entire house to ourselves. The privacy was wonderful, and relaxing in the hot tub while taking in the beautiful mountain views was unforgettable. Waking up to the sound of birds each morning made the experience even more special. We stayed here to celebrate my 50th birthday with my family, and it truly was a memorable weekend. I probably spent most of my time in the hot tub! 😂 The attention to detail throughout the house was exceptional, with so many beautiful little touches that made us feel welcome and comfortable. We would definitely love to stay here again.

Excellent. Smart TV's in all rooms. Aircon's in all rooms. Braai facilities and pizza oven. Top class. I will definitely book at Glass Castle again

Wonderful, relaxing couple of days unwinding.

The hot tub is amazing, as is the location.

There’s not much not to like! It’s in a windy area, though we got lucky with one beautiful calm evening, and being in farmland with domestic animals around, flies are unavoidable in summer. But everything else more than makes up for it.

We enjoyed our stay and had a good rest.

The view, security and the beauty of the estate when you drive in.

It would have being nice if there were a cleaning lady included in the amount we paid. It took some time to get use to the openness of the main bedroom as there is not blinds or curtains but was beautiful to wake up in the mornings looking at the view of the mountains. The home automation did not work 100%. At the end of our stay some of the lights did not switch off. If the owners can get this sorted it will be a very nice add on to your stay.

Very beautiful. The views of the mountains were amazing. So peaceful and beautiful.

The flies in the house were a bit much. But we understood that there are animals around the Estate.
