Fairview House

Beautiful property, magnificent views and extremely peaceful with gorgeous views of the valley and mountains. Very close to Plett, delicious breakfast and lovely rooms. Evan is delightful and service in general very attentive and good. Will definitely be back - an oasis from the madness.

Beautiful property with the most amazing views. Rooms and interiors are modern with country cottage style. Food is outstanding. Service friendly One area that could be improved would be the pool area as that is not up to the same standard as rest of property. Would thoroughly recommend and return

The house was beautiful with the most amazing views and stylishly furnished. The food here was amazing

Spectacular views with great rooms and accommodating team

We stayed 6 nights here. It was simply awesome from start to finish. Andrew and Anel are fine hosts and have built something special here. I simply can’t find anything that I would change. The food is tasty and Martin and his team coped with my wife’s gluten free diet with no problem. Our room was very comfortable and we slept well. The team are gentle and understated but can’t do enough to ensure your stay is enjoyable. Oh and by the way, the view is something to behold. I can’t recommend this place highly enough and we will certainly return.

Truly great stay. Family Rattray has made this a great place to stay outside of Plett - still close enough to enjoy the town, but secluded and with great views to have an enjoyable and relaxing time. Andrew and his wife take great care of their guests and make you feel very welcome and comfortable. Truly remarkable stay.

Part of a tour of Western and Eastern Capes this family-owned boutique hotel is exceptional. Advice: use a minimum of 50% of your available travel time in S-A at least here! Not only for the things to do in the area (for example visit the Robberg nature reserve) but especially for the excellent hosting, accommodation, service and wonderful gastronomy (rating it as ‘food’ doesn’t do it justice). Read the other reviews and add an extra star. You’re probably thinking that using ‘exceptional’, ‘excellent’, ‘wonderful’ and ‘extra star’ are too many accolades in one short review. I guess you’re right … until you’ve been here. And yes, before I forget, there are some minus points. With all due respect for the original owners Peter and Gill Rattray to name this ‘Fairview’, it is not well chosen: it should actually be ‘Wonderfulview’. And while I’m not at all a wine connaisseur, a Malbec would seem to me to complete the already [fill in own accolade] wine list. Finally, a good sense of humour is a pre-requisite if you want to have a decent chat with the [fill in other accolade] hosts Andrew and Anel. A&A, Siyabonga and Dankie from M&P from B.
