The Boschenmeer Golf and Country Estate with its David Frost signature golf course, offers superb golfing. It is the only 27-hole golf course in the Western Province, and the first David Frost signature golf course in South Africa. The backdrop to your back-swing is astride the majestic Paarl/Franschhoek Drakenstein mountain range and Paarl Rock. Add mature trees, artfully conceived water features, and the famous Berg River and you've got the kind of layout that challenges the pro, rewards the amateur and inspires residents out for a stroll in their 140 hectare back yard. Designer David Frost has created a golf course of true championship standard and at the same time he has achieved a first class golfing experience that will both challenge the low handicap and scratch golfer, yet not be too daunting for the less experienced 'weekender'. Boschenmeer also offers a high-tech golf academy and driving range, as well as a state-of-the-art club house.
Temporary membership of the fabulous 27 hole Paarl golf course is available and for the keen golfers this is a much cheaper option than paying daily visitors' green fees.
The house also has access to residents floodlit tennis courts, children's play area and a large swimming pool shared by the estate for those glorious summers days.
Boschenmeer nestles in the gastronomic capital of South Africa with numerous vineyards and stunning Cape Dutch colonial style restaurants serving wonderful steaks, fish and local produce only minutes away. Paarl Golf Club has it's own restaurant serving excellent and reasonably priced european style food.

The Western Cape of South Africa is acknowledged as one of the most beautiful locations in the world. The scenery is magnificent, dominated by mountain views and endless vineyards. The Mediterranean climate is very similar to southern Spain with very long hot summers (September to May) and short temperate winters (perfect golfing weather). The region is famous for its magnificent and unique Fynbos flora and fauna Kingdom and its diverse wildlife - you can watch whales, seals and penguins in their natural environment as well as spotting the occasional wild ostrich and baboons as you drive through the countryside.
Boschenmeer is just 30 minutes from the Mother City. Cape Town is dominated by Table Mountain, enjoy the spectacular views of the 2 oceans and the city laid out below you.

The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is the most varied, exclusive and interesting selection of exclusive shops in Africa. Just about everyone spends some time at the newly developed Waterfront, where there are more restaurants than you would ever have time to sample, with food from just about every corner of the world. There are numerous boating excursions leaving from the Waterfront including a ferry to the prison on Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned during the apartheid era. The Victor Verster Prison near Paarl, where he was released from in 1990, is only minutes away from Boschenmeer.

This was our second stay in this house in Boschenmeer and if I say we already booked for next year you may guess...it was PERFECT. Jaco, the house manager took excellent care of us,including shopping before we arrived, so we could start relaxing from the very beginning. The new phone became as handy as the WiFi...simply loved that we did not have to go to the internet cafe any longer.The golf course was in super shape and we even found a great sport school in Paarl which we could join for the month...to burn off all those calories .... John and Susan thank you for letting us use your paradise! Response: Glad Jaco our local House Manager looked after you and the house so well. Great that your regular month long visits are to continue in Feb 2014. Our PERFECT 'best kept secret' is just between the both of us ! |

Four weeks flew by in gorgeous weather with plenty of time sunbathing, travelling round the Wine Route and other parts of the wonderful Cape which, even on a fourth visit, still provided plenty of new places to experience. If we had a problem (as we had when one of us was quite seriously ill for a few days) we had only to call Jaco Rheeder, the property owner's representative in Paarl, and he would be on hand to help and advise. We will be returning as soon as we can and until then will enjoy the memories of one of the best holidays we have had. Bill and Carol Bridge, Bingley, West Yorkshire. Response: We understand your wife had pnumonia and we were glad Jaco, our house manager, responded quickly and arranged for a Doctor. We heard she was in hospital within hours of arrival in South Africa because of his quick response. We are please she was in the best possible place to relax and convalesce and we are relieved that she is now safe and well back at home in UK. So I now advise any visitor to have good medical travel insurance before departure as medical care in SA is private & fees can be expensive. |

This was our second stay, previous being November 2009. The insides of the property appeared to poorly cleaned with cob webs etc. You now need biometric access on arrival (rightly enhancing security vs our previous visit) however the local contact was not available to help. We managed to gain access via the on site estate folks. The nominated contact then failed to help for the following five days regarding the biometric access which caused the local security folks unnecessary concern with having to allow us in and out each time. Pool not attended in the 3 weeks we stayed at the property. No Internet access provided. The cable tv provided ran out for two days during our stay and was eventually reinstated. No hair dryer. WoW for the girls.No property phone even for local locals leading to expense if mobiles from outside SA need to be used. On departure the local contact provided the same excuse regarding being stuck in traffic and therefore could not meet us to verify the property on departure. Sounded similar to our arrival. Disappointing overall. Improvements required re basics in terms of WiFi, hairdryer and why folks have to chase up the cable tv using a UK based mobile phone to call/text the local contact and owner. Response: Thank you for your comments. We are sorry that you experienced problems. Your feedback has been used to improve our service to our guests. Rest assured, we have acted on your observations about the standard of maintenance of our property and the unacceptable meet and greet problem with our local house manager. The biometric security screening issues you experienced will be addressed so that access to the estate is not a problem in the future. We are installing a landline and WiFi in the New Year and the property now has a hair dryer. |
