Kurland, South Africa

Adam Chapman

Kurland is just my cup of tea. The Estate oozes class and sophistication but at the same time manages a laid back atmosphere with fantastic service. The grounds are simply stunning and it reminds you of an English country estate, especially with the polo grounds nearby. I would highly recommend a stay at Kurland Estate.

Holiday to South Africa during September 2010

South Africa Review

I loved it. I did not think it was so developed and so clean and there were no potholes on the roads. My conclusion is that I was very ignorant about the country. The level of developement I foundw as far superior to what I had anticipated and the quality of the food was excellent. In terms of crime...
