The lady was readily available to chat and help out.
The space was incredible and the setting was ideal. The pool was great for the whole family. Waking up to horses, a duiker, a little spring buck and such a friendly little pup was so special.
You cant beat the location.
The home was also private and Blaauwklippen is my fav part of stellenbosch. So picturesque!
The house was incredibly comfortable, the flow was great and it had everything we needed.
The pool, horses and buck were so welcome!
We just loved our stay.
Some subtle things to improve on would be the damp here and there. The shower has no metal plate where the mixer is. So its an unfinished hole.
There is only solar! Guests should be warned not to use items such as irons for too long as they drain the energy.
We were left with a wet half load of washing to sort out after the solar stopped working. (I was using an iron to press some clothes for a wedding) any hoo... all the electrics stopped working and we left the accommodation with dripping wet washing and looking a bit bedraggled as my hair iron wouldnt work etc etc ao a few challenges.
But other than that... the space was super ideal.

Beautiful cabin.
Privacy not the best, but it is on private property so it’s understandable.

We loved our stay at Chabivin! Just outside Stellenbosch, it’s peaceful and quiet but still close to everything. The corner cottage had everything we needed for a comfy self-catering stay. The kids had a blast swimming, and jumping on the trampolines. With so many great restaurants and things to do nearby, we still didn’t want to leave — it was just too relaxing!
Honestly, there was nothing we’d change — it was perfect!

Location was great and peaceful setting. Friendly hosts, central location and safe.
Some small "essentials" not available, but nothing we couldnt resolve. Many other essentials like firewood in abundance😃

Easy instructions with code to the gate to drive in to the property. The studio was clearly marked and keys could be found inside.
The studio itself is really cute, the welcome basket with some chocolate and an information pamphlet was really nice. The bed is super comfortable and you feel like it’s very private. The wood fired hot tub was great for our stay as it got cold at night. The kitchen is very well equipped and you can find everything you might need. We got plenty of wood to use for both the hot tub and the Braai. The dogs are really cute and loves to come say hello. In general the property is beautiful and very serene. Would for sure stay again.

Location nice and quiet
Tin opener old and rusty! Bedding not very clean. Towels were frayed and old. Walls had damp damage - could do with a refresh.

Location was beautiful , views of the mountain , tranquil , close to Stellenbosch - set up was good , easy access instructions , good communication and friendly owners
Maybe some dishwashing liquid would be good and salt + pepper . Bed was pretty hard and our bedroom sliding door wouldn’t open . But relatively minor issues .

Communication was very poor with the owner.
Towels were so dirty, stained, damp, and worn.
Gravel road to the venue was not mentioned and was in bad condition.
The double bed in the one room was so worn through to the extent that it had a permanent dent, which meant my friend had to sleep in my room, which defeated the purpose of booking a 2 bedroom unit.
The indoor fireplace had an open grid, so we could not heat the very cold and dark space because it would smoke out the unit.
Couches were worn and stained.
Water was not potable, and we were only notified by a note once we entered the unit.
The kitchen layout is uncomfortable.
Walls are cracked and not maintained.
We would have complained and moved out, but we couldn't find alternate accommodation so last minute.
Photos of other units' views were used. We mostly looked out on other units instead of a view. Photos aren't separated by unit, so it is very misleading
Can provide photos if needed.

The location is great and there are lovely animals wandering around. We also really appreciated the welcome basket.
The room felt very dark and smelled of damp. It felt like it needed upgrading (need new towels as they’re old, chairs are a bit worn). We’ve stayed in their Deck Studio before and this felt like a downgrade from that experience.

The cottage was so lovely. Fully equipped kitchen, lovely lounge with fireplace (I love a fireplace when it's cold outside), good quality linen and very comfortable and homely feel.
We were staying in the winter - so didn't use any of the outside facilities.
The location is just a few minutes out of the main part of town, with a small shopping centre just 2km away at the turnoff. The farm has a gorgeous horse just roaming around, 2 tame springboks eating grass and the cutest dogs.
Each cottage has space between them so you don't feel like other people are on top of you.
The shower was lovely - hot with decent pressure and space.
The hosts were amazing - very responsive to any questions or issues.
(we found an amazing place to visit - www.dylanlewis.com - it is a huge garden -like a small Kirstenbosch - but with amazing Dylan Lewis sculptures all around the garden - absolutely spectacular and definitely worth a visit - and only 5min away)

Loved the view and the tranquility the surroundings bring. The springboks made it extra special and the little dog that pretends he is a springbok🤣🤣
Only that the main bathroom didn't have a shower as well.

Enjoyed the privacy of the corner cottage
I’m sure it would be so much better in summer time.
The fireplace glass window was broken,
the windows weren’t done properly and due to the rain it came through the windows and we had rain spills on the floor.

It was very private and quiet. Management also very accommodating.
The aircon wasn’t working and the pin to enter was very buggy so often struggled late at night.
Also had to turn on the WiFi myself.

Beautiful location, very good value for money. Enjoyed the welcome basket, the plunge pool and the braai area. Staff were very friendly! Will definitely be back!
No dishwasher and no drying rack for dishes unfortunately.

The towels were all old and worn out.
The linen also old with stain marks.
The shower floor needs to be scrubbed, we all showered with our flipflops on.
It would've been great if there was two bathrooms.
The Saturday afternoon was very noisy with some people cross the road fighting with each other. We didn't like the area.

Quite location. Scenic views and friendly pets. Welcome basket appreciated. Kitchen adequately equipped. Spacious suite.
Infested with small ants on day two. Polished concrete floors with many shrinkage cracks. TV not tuned for free to air TV. Very awkward parking space for parking a mid size SUV at the assigned Deck Studio (Luxury Suite) spot, which is next to a very large diameter tree with another tree on the opposite side of the road track. Had a problem with the shower but that was fixed promptly next day. Bed was not comfortable; simple sprung mattress where the springs can be felt on the edge of the bed. Dirt road from main road to property gate is very rough with several humps to go over.
8.0 / 10.0
Nice room and facilities. Nice and quiet and peaceful. Good location for wine farms.
The host could have been a bit friendlier, in my opinion. That might be a bit on the harsh side, but we felt like a pure business transaction. That is the only possible complaint though.
