Paddabult Self Catering Cottages

No kitchen tools or salt/pepper for ability to cook. No bottled water was provided either in the refrigerator (can’t drink the tap water) Apparently the water pipe broke so there wasn’t adequate hot water for showers the day we arrived. We asked if they could take our bags to the security but to store them for a couple hours while we explored Babylonstoren nearby on our check-out day (and they said yes) - later that day, they texted us again saying “actually no, that’s your responsibility” - after they’d already said yes and we had left the property. Gardens could also use improvement so the main view doesn’t look directly into shade-cloth and razor-wire. Air conditioning was functional though, and the staff on-site were friendly

Paddabult was perfect for our needs , close to shops , wine estates and general location . Grieta was a wonderful host.

Enjoyed our stay, felt safe, relaxed and enjoyed the lush green grass under the shade on the hot days.

Excellent place. We loved it. We wish could have stayed longer. It was clean and well equipped. a beautiful place to say

Mmmmmm. Nice cottage. To get there is a nightmare with road closures and 30 min stop and go. Was told to call reception to open the gate. No one answered the phone for 40 minutes. Kitchenware was filthy to say the least. Old food with egg on the plates and pan. Not enough blankets for cold night. I would not stay here again. Blanket had mark that I hope was chocolate. Towels frayed.

Worthwhile visiting Very nice clean and well equipped unit. The only comment is that the pillows are hard and bulky I woke up with a stiff neck. Friendly people. At present there are so many roadworks all around the region making it a bit cumbersome to get there. But all and all a very nice unit in a picturesque environment close to wine estates notably the Babylonstoren estate.

Booked 3 cottages for a family wedding. Very well equipped and clean. Beautiful views on a fruit farm Would highly recommend

We used the opportunity to stay at Paddabult to do an uninterrupted Strat Meeting over the weekend. All we needed to prepare meals was close at hand with a lekker big stoep, table and wind protected braai area. Shirma had sent us what we needed to do and warned us of the current roadworks in the area which caused only slight delays. The roads are going to be awesome when they're done. The stay was comfy and ideal for what we had in mind. Close to loads of superb wine farms and not too far from Franschhoek or Paarl for a day trip, stock up on supplies or to enjoy a meal. I did mention all that was missing was a nice pool to jump into on a hot day.

It was super easy to book, pay, contact and access. It is safe, tastefully decorated and exactly what we needed. We booked two cottages next to each other. It is a comfortable distance from Franschhoek, Paarl en even Stellenbosch if you want to travel a little bit further and it was easy to get an Uber. We attended a wedding at a slightly remote location outside of Franschoek and travel was super easy. The only reason this is not 5 star is because I expect free chanpagne and a morning cup of coffee for that rating. Just was we needed.
