"This was our second visit to the idyllic Fraai Uitzicht. On our first visit, we only dined here (enjoying our best meal of the holiday). This time around, we also stayed here. The Merlot cottage is beautiful, as are the grounds, the gardens, the pool. Everything about Fraai Uitzicht is meticulously right. The dining experience is still wonderful and the staff are extremely attentive. The views across the gardens & vineyards to the Langeberg hills are to die for - Fraai Uitzicht is a little piece of heaven on earth. A place where one can escape to and feel totally relaxed. We will be back again on our next trip."
