It was 110%
Excellent setting and place to break-away. Breathtaking surroundings. Will definitely go back again!!
Great place.
Clean, comfortable, and affordable.. It was a very pleasant experience and we will definitely come back to this hidden gem in Tulbagh.
The accommodation was so much more than our expectations.
We stayed in the King Suite, the room was spacious, comfortable and high quality bedding, tastefully decorated and spotless.
The massages with Wendy was also just amazing, and the fact that our furry child was also welcome was an added bonus.
Will highly recommend Raptor Rise to anyone.

Tulbagh Reviews
Our second visit and certainly not the last. So much to do and see!
Scenery
Wine, scenery, sunset
Beautiful, historic and quaint little town. Stroll down church street and have a roosterkoek at Kole & Deeg. Highly recommend the Gin Yard at Vindoux wine farm. The Spar gets ridiculously busy on long weekends so rather come prepared unless you want to stand in line for 30 mins. The Tulbagh Nursery is awesome if you’re into gardening and plants. And take the Bain’s Kloof pass if you want a beautiful scenic route!
The quaint town, the beautiful scenery, the olive tasting.
Everything!
Wine, the history side.
We found Tulbagh to be close enough to Cape Town for a quick weekend away with family & friends.
Clean town with stunning wine farms, wine tasting and lovely restaurants.
Very picturesque with great hiking, mountain biking trails.
Lots of convenient shops in the town.
Can't wait for our next visit.
We loved our Sunday lunch at Tulbagh Hotel and Champagne tasting at Krone.
We went to Essere lodge for a weekend and loved it! Have done many wine tastings at the surrounding farms, love going there often.
