Spent Easter weekend at this unique estate. The homestead is set within walking distance of the stables and polo fields, yet entirely separate. The rooms are spacious and elegantly appointed. The food is to die for; probably to die from, given the abundance of the good stuff like butter and cream. The service is unobtrusive but ready when needed The total experience feeds the soul.

Wonderful experience

We rented a room for three nights. Peter, the host, was fantastically welcoming. The house and grounds are beautiful and the perfect place to relax.

We have breakfast and dinner in the villa, both of which were sumptuous and brilliantly appointed. Peter recommended some great places and restaurants to visit in the local area and couldn't have been more helpful.

Thoroughly recommend!

Magnificent house in a beautiful estate

We were very pleased with ourselves for stumbling across the gem that is Kurland Villa.
Positioned in the heart of the Kurland Estate, the setting was perfect: tranquil and beautiful with mountains, lake and a direct view of the sunset.  It certainly offers a special chance to kick back and relax.

Peter is a generous host who welcomed us into their beautiful family home, designed in country house style by his talented wife.  The style is sumptuous yet comfortable and we were encouraged to relax and make ourselves feel at home (which, very soon, we wished it was!). 
Peter, and his wonderful housekeeper Brenda, did a splendid job of looking after us - striking the balance of being present whilst giving us our space.  The breakfasts and  home cooked dinners were wholesome and delicious - Peter does a great Braai if wanted.  We really hope to get back next year and can only highly recommend others go too.

A quiet gem set in beautiful surroundings

I've been to the Kirland Spa twice now and I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone! Such a lovely space, great amenities like the sauna, steam room, and plunge pool, as well as awesome management and staff. We felt so spoilt after our visit, I honestly can't wait to go again! Thanks again for the lovely morning

Great Spa Experience

Somewhat of a mixed bag. The setting, a beautiful estate, is fabulous, especially if you are a horse lover. Great cozy British country atmosphere that exudes old world charm, with fires going on at all times everywhere, including on the outside terrace, when the weather gets a little cold. Said terrace is a treat, with several wonderful sitting areas in which a whole family can gather to enjoy drinks or have tea. Other common areas are also very welcoming and full of charm. The personnel is extremely nice and serviceable. However, and this is one of the downsides, despite all of the staff's goodwill, service is extremely slow, half-hazard and somewhat unprofessional, especially at mealtimes. Meals can be very hit or miss and protracted affairs, with lots of waiting between courses and occasional mistakes. By western standards, the staff has clearly not had any real training for this kind of work; it is plentiful but somewhat inefficient. Things are brought out or cleared one piece at a time, in what sometimes seems random fashion. On one occasion my two eggs were brought out one at a time, at five minutes interval. Generally, you do get the feeling the staff would do anything to accommodate you, but sadly requests are sometimes not followed-up on, and you end up wandering about trying to get hold of someone for an answer.
Another thing is the fact that certain areas or even rooms are somewhat run-down. The pool is not very clean, the lounge chairs are in a sorry state, the tiling and painting in certain areas is decaying, the carpet in the room was old and dirty, and some spots (patios, for instance), have a somewhat abandoned feel to them. Also, the lighting seriously needs to be revamped. At present it is hodgepodge of old lights/chandeliers with inconsistent led lightbulbs – some almost dead and giving extremely low light, others a bright, glaring and cold bright –, generally making for somewhat depressing lighting. On a minor note, the fact that the advertised quads were not available was a disappointment (they were said to be under maintenance, which is surprising in the middle of Christmas season).
All in all, an enjoyable place to stay in for sure, but in need of adjustments and freshening to make it a truly 5 star hotel.

Has a lot going for it, but all in all a mixed bag.

Stunning Venue with the pool, the veranda, the horses, the sunset, the fabulous valentines dinner decorations, a great Menu with absolutely great wine pairing, a great vibe with fantastic people , all dressed up superior, great waiters and kitchen staff: Great ingredients for an unforgettable Valentines Dinner!

Dinner Club @ Kurland

Magnificent setting with elegant feel. Very peaceful. Restaurant was beautifully set out with lots of attention to detail. Staff were eager to please, friendly and very helpful. A great choice of venue.

This beautiful homestead, that is now a hotel, offers a really special and intimate experience, the food we had was beautifully presented and tasted even better. The staff were attentive, friendly and highly efficient. If you are looking for fine dining, in a magnificent setting, this restaurant ticks all the boxes!

Superb setting, service and dining

We stayed at Kurland four years ago, and worked this holiday around our dates there.  If anything, our room this time was even better! Sumptious furnishings, dressing room and a huge bathroom, large deck and plunge pool - we didn't want to leave!
Kurland is a vast estate and four bike trails have been created since our last visit....the blue one is quite challenging!
We stayed over the festive polo season, so there was activity on the pitches, one of which we could see from our room.  We overlooked fields of young horses, which was an iyllic scene in the evening sunlight.
The food at Kurland is sublime - I am not much of a carnivore, but the chef's beef patty is absolutely incredible - so much so, that he kindly made them again for us on our last evening!  Anything back here risks being a disappointment!  Jason, Jacqueline and Gwen were great restaurant staff and made our stay all the more special.
Thank you to Diana and her team.
One tip - it would be nice to have a kettle in the room for an earlly morning cuppa!

Total luxury

We had a beautiful picnic lunch at the fire place during our Hog Horse Trail day ride. What an amazing day and terrific lunch. All fresh scones wraps pastry and fruit. Beautifully set on a tremendous estate.
