Budget Getaways Review
The Farmhouse Hotel represents a novel break from your usual self-catering weekend ways. Framed by manicured green lawns and a pool overlooking the entire lagoon, what appeals to us about this 'millionaire backpackers slash boutique hotel' is the idea that one can enjoy a whole gamut of hotel facilities at the fraction of the usual hotel price. Why's that?
Well, while the hotel offers an array of accommodation - from plush hotel rooms to a fully equipped house and nearby cottage - most of it falls beyond Mr Average Budget traveller's pocket. Not so the smaller and simpler Crash Pads. Okay, granted, these rooms are not as posh as the rest, and in two of them you will experience some 'social noise' (as the hotel calls it) from the dining room downstairs. This said, they are more than adequate, comfortable, and well-suited to kitesurfers, price-conscious (yet discerning) travellers, local and foreign alike.
There are two Crash Pads, both ensuite, and both sleeping two. One of the rooms is in the Farmhouse itself - a small room with private patio and partial lagoon views, and priced from R275pp, which includes a a slap-up breakfast. With similar rates, the Villa Crash Pad lies opposite the hotel, and is more private.
Higher up the ladder you'll also find three Travellers Rooms, with rates starting at R375pp sharing - Room 13 has unobstructed lagoon views, while 14 and 15 overlook the local neighbourhood.
Now to the real hook. As a guest of the Farmhouse Hotel you have access to all of the following: a full buffet breakfast (included in the price); a lovely pool area fitted with loungers and brilliant views; a convivial hotel lounge with a small library, free internet (bring laptop) and a fireplace; an onsite restaurant and adjacent pub. Plus, if you're bringing the family yacht, the hotel has its own boatyard.
Like we said, all the luxuries of a full blown hotel, but at a fraction of the usual cost.
