We had a wonderful stay at Wonderland! The welcome was incredibly warm, and we felt at home right away. The property and especially the garden are absolutely beautiful, with so many lovely and unique details. It was a truly great experience – we would definitely recommend it.
2.0 / 10.0
We had a very bad experience and would not recommend this place to anyone.
On the day we checked in, there was a huge influencer event taking place with large crowds. We were not informed about this in advance - something that would have been fair and transparent before booking - and as a result we felt very unwelcome, as if we were interrupting someone else’s private party. On top of that, all facilities were overcrowded, even though we paid a significant amount of money specifically for a relaxing stay with spa and pool access.
Our room had a private balcony and jacuzzi, yet people completely ignored this and repeatedly walked across our balcony and past our room, even after being told it was private. Very rude. The swimming pool was dirty, with cloudy, green water, and the jacuzzis were also unhygienic (our private one was cleaned by two very nice guys - that was kind)
Being a guesthouse rather than a hotel is not a valid excuse for these issues. At this price point, a much higher standard of privacy, hygiene, and communication should be expected.
Overall, this was a huge disappointment and a waste of our time, experience, and the hundreds of euros we spent.
PS: We raised these concerns with the staff, but no solution was offered.

Pool, jacuzzis, mountain views, lounge areas.
Room was very noisy. Could hear other guests arrive back and walking around at night.

Unique property ideal for relaxing on first few days of honeymoon.
Breakfast offering was quite basic for the standard of property.

Magical setting and beautiful interior design!
Unfortunately the geyser broke in our room but we were moved to another room, with a terrace so that was lovely!

It’s such a feat of architecture and so unique. It had so many amazing things in it, all in 1 family home that was built in the early 2000s. The Koi pond all around the foundations, the huge living area with a gorgeous fireplace was so romantic, the clamshell sinks in the eternal suite and the view were stunning! The dogs were sooo sweet and lovely. The gym was fab!
I wasn’t going to leave a review tbh however i believe unless people say something, the owners may not truly realise and won’t be able to make it better for future guests.
It is a nice place, it’s just everything has a “BUT”
In theory the pool is cool, a zip line, diving board and slides BUT The pool area was tired, there wasn’t many pool lounge pillows, the water was discoloured and not at all clean, there was dog and bird poo in the pool and around the decking. The decking was the same old wood from being first built which explained the splinters we got. The zip line and everything seems like a good idea until you realise it’s in the same wood from 20 years ago and isn’t really stable, also landing in the dirty pool wouldn’t have been fun.
We booked the eternal suite for one of the nights because it had a private hot tub but when we got there it was really quite disgusting, the water was murky, the tiles were broken and heavily discoloured and the staff explained it would just be “easier” to use the shared hot tub instead, despite that being the reason we booked that room. It was quite disheartening because we felt we spent a lot of money on that and was disappointed but we tried to not let it affect our stay.
We then thought ok let’s use the shared hot tub BUT we took the cover off and the water absolutely stank of hot faeces and there was a film of oil over the water, obviously the water was not maintained with proper chemicals.
The eternal suite did have a very strong “sweet” smell that was quite off putting, not sure that could be helped though.
We went to go make a coffee in the kitchen and there water full of algae in the water tank… i tried to clean it but couldn’t without sufficient products, then went to put the water tank in the dishwasher to use at a later time and there was plates left in the dishwasher that must have been there a long time…. there was fluffy grey mold growing on the food/sauce that hadn’t been rinsed off the plate.

Incredibile property - it really personifies its name “Wonderland”. There is so much to explore and discover with lots of space to relax and feel at home too. Finding out it was built as someone’s home was fascinating, and it’s quite unique in the fact that it still feels and is being operated like a guesthouse, with shared kitchen, lounge and communal areas. I could have spent longer here. The main girl on reception (who is also one of the spa therapists) was lovely, made us welcome and clearly cared about the property and our whole experience.
It seems like a mammoth task to maintain this property as it’s so vast and unique, so I forgive some of its shortcomings in its first year of operations - there are worn out areas around the property, some oddly placed hot tubs (that may need more regular cleaning), and breakfast could have been more exciting. Non of which would put us off returning though - we loved every moment in that house!

This guesthouse is truly something else, like stepping straight into a fairy tale! It is even more beautiful and enchanting then on the pictures and on Instagram. You could spend days just exploring the house, its beautifully decorated common areas, the lush garden, and the pool area. There’s something new and charming to discover around every corner. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive and genuinely made us feel at home. The resident dogs are so lovely you’ll actually miss them after you leave. The spa treatments were exceptional, and if you get the chance, book the Vespa tour with Sven. It’s an unforgettable experience! We’re already looking forward to visiting again.
Honestly, the only thing we didn’t like was that our time there had to end.

The spa was amazing.
Bed - sleep quality amazing
Staff, again amazing
Loved the live in dogs. They gave me comfort from being away from my dogs
Massage. Did couples massage, was 100 % the best. The koi fish ponds on the either side. Feeling like a dungeon/ seller was the best.
The green bathroom was amazing. You could look for a long time, and still find something interesting to see.
No fridge and kettle /coffee station in the room.
In the room we stayed, tub not conducive to a relaxing bath. No head space. No place to sit before you get in.

From the moment I stepped into Wonderland Boutique Guesthouse & Spa, I knew I had found something extraordinary. This is not just a hotel — it’s the result of 25 years of dedication, vision, and love, a masterpiece crafted with patience and passion. Every corner tells a story, and every detail reflects the heart of its creators.
The place is cozy and intimate, with a warm charm that instantly makes you feel at home. Surrounded by lush greenery in every direction, it feels like nature is embracing you. The bar is a perfect spot to unwind, with a relaxed atmosphere that invites great conversations. And of course, the two lovely dogs are always there to greet you with pure joy — adding a unique, homely touch you won’t find elsewhere.
Meeting the owner, Safiyah, was one of the highlights of my stay. Her mindset toward constantly upgrading the place, her eye for detail, and her love of music are truly inspiring. She sees her guesthouse as a living, evolving work of art — and you can feel that energy in every space.
For me, Wonderland is not just accommodation; it’s an experience, a feeling, and, as I told Safiyah, “a stolen part from paradise.”
How dare you, Booking.com, even ask me this question?! 🤨
It’s like asking “What don’t you like about heaven?”
there is no answer!
Every moment at Wonderland was pure joy, and if I had to complain about anything… it would be that I eventually had to leave!

Everything was a discovery; every ambiance would lead you to something unreal, magical. Words really cannot describe the beauty of this gem.
It’s really a different concept from common hotels and an experience that it’s worth the try. Also the staff is amazing.
Liked pretty much everything.

- Великолепный номер с огромной террасой (мы брали самый большой номер на верхнем этаже и даже специально подстроили даты под время, когда этот номер был свободен). Номер абсолютно оправдал ожидания. Единственный минус, который я считаю стоит поправить хозяину отеля - это туалет. Он стоит прямо посередине комнаты и фактически не огорожен, и если вы приезжаете парой, то пользоваться им невозможно. И лучше идти в общественный на другом этаже.
- мы попали на выходные, в субботу проводилась йога и pool party. Было много гостей не из отеля. Сначала это пугало. Но в итоге было довольно весело и атмосферно, т.к. было много молодежи, все очень дружелюбные. Однако стоит учитывать такую особенность, возможно, далеко не всем понравится
- удобное расположение, в целом доброжелательный персонал
- в целом атмосфера Бали. А на Бали очень много плюсов и минусов. Если не любите Бали- вам не сюда
- посмотрите фото - это все фото номера
- Как выше написала - туалет посередине номера
- мы были всего 2 ночи, но не было уборки ни разу. Возможно, надо было ее запрашивать, и сами они не убирают
- жалюзи на окнах, которые разваливались, и плохо работали
- были проблемы при заселении, нас встретил охранник и не понимал, куда заселить
- завтраки довольно скромные. Нужно быть готовым к этому
Однако несмотря на эти минусы, я бы точно его советовала и вернулась бы снова. Потому что сам по себе отель уникален и очень красив. Постарайтесь забронировать самый большой номер. Обязательно для посещения хотя бы на пару дней

Очень необычный гостевой дом, уникально встроенный в природу. Отличный персонал и завтраки 10/10.
Очень красивое уникальное место, спасибо команде и Патрику. Рядом есть отличные рестораны.
Нам все понравилось. Это был очень интересный опыт.

De heerlijke rust en ruimte, de jacuzzi’s, sauna, alles! Er was wel een grote groep die lang bleven ‘hangen’ maar was niet echt vervelend.
Er werkten een aantal (simpele) zaken niet zoals espresso apparaat, Netflix in de woonkamer en de jacuzzi voor m’n appartement.

Die Unterkunft hat eine schöne Lage und ist mit viel Detail eingerichtet.
Der Inhaber wirkte sehr unfreundlich und hat uns nicht einmal begrüßt. Die übrigen Angestellten waren zwar deutlich freundlicher, insgesamt haben wir in anderen Hotels jedoch einen besseren Service erlebt.
Zudem war das Frühstück an keinem Tag zu den angegebenen Zeiten verfügbar und die Wartezeit war jedes Mal sehr lang. Auch die Auswahl war eher begrenzt. Während unseres zweitägigen Aufenthalts wurde außerdem kein Roomservice angeboten.

wat een prachtig artistiek sprookjesachtig complex, helemaal ingebouwd in het groen, met bij iedere stap die je doet een ohh of ahh. Je kijkt je ogen uit hier. We hadden een prachtige kamer met een overheerlijk bed en on top een eigen jacuzi, met uitzicht op de bergen.
Je waant je heerlijk in een sauna omgeving waar de rust vanaf straalt. In de ochtend werd een heerlijk ontbijt voor je gemaakt. Het complex heeft 2 superlieve honden die overal achteraan drentelen en zelfs lekker bij je gaan liggen als je ze aandacht geeft. grote parkeergarage aanwezig. En dan de gezamelijke ruimten , het zwembad, gym, sauna te veel om op te noemen
Het is eigenlijk geen klacht, maar wat ons betreft had de jacuzi een iets lagere temperatuur mogen hebben dan de ingestelde 42 graden. Dat was echt erg warm.

Eine sehr spannende Unterkunft mit unglaublich vielen spielerischen Details. Das Wonderland ist eine Unterkunft für Abenteurer. Es gibt sehr viel zu entdecken im Haus und auf dem Grundstück. Die Räumlichkeiten und das Grundstück bieten sehr viel Platz für Privatsphäre.
Die Lage ist sehr gut und bietet sich an für Wanderungen auf dem Tafelberg. Mit dem Auto ist man schnell am Strand und in der Stadt.
Die Unterkunft ist auf jeden Fall in die Jahre gekommen und benötigt an einigen Stellen eine Auffrischung. Möbel, Terrassen, Elektrik, Beschaffenheit Whirlpool, Ausstattung allgemein etc. Hier stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht. In Kapstadt bekommt man für das Geld durchaus mehr geboten.
Sauberkeit: Es gibt zwei süße Mitbewohner(Hunde) die total lieb sind. Die beiden sind jedoch auf jedem Sofa auch ohne Anwesenheit präsent.

Mega Design des Anwesens. Tolle Zimmer. Abgeschiedener Ort in den Bergen. Super Aussicht. Innovatives Gemeinschaftskonzept.
Das Konzept ist, dass dort Leute remote arbeiten und es geteilte Gemeinschaftsbereiche gibt, war nicht unbedingt für uns zutreffend. Wir kamen uns manchmal vor, als würden wir die Arbeitenden stören.
