All I can say is the best picnic spot in the Cape Winelands! Excellent attentive service. The picnic basket is gourmet, delicious breads, cheese, salads and meats! The basket is beautifully packed and you truly feel special when you start unpacking your surprises! The wine is top-notch and the grounds are manicured lawns with massive oak trees, lots of shade, squirrels and sunshine! You can also enjoy the games they have for you, big Jenga, 0 & X s and others! I highly recommend this day out! It’s gets 5 stars from me!

We stayed in Franschoek for a couple of days over the Easter weekend with friends. Other friends that have been before suggested we take the tram for a wine tour. With various options available we picked a route that included Boschendal. It was our second stop and saw, at our arrival, the bubbly and oyster pairing. Unforgettable!!!! We had oysters at other places over that same weekend but could not be compared with this. Our only regret was not staying longer to explore more!! Well done Boschendal!!!!!!

Great place to take kids. Kids can ride a bike and play on the jungle gyms. Quick service and food was good/reasonably priced. The deli was interesting and had lots to buy from coffees, wines, pastries and bascottis . There's another home deco shop that sells cutlery and crockery, winter wear (hunter boots) etc a great day out with the family . 1 hour away from cape town.. recommended

Fantastic atmosphere and beautiful gardens. Loved the farm shop and deli. We ordered carrot cake and cheesecake to take home. When we arrived home, the box was empty and no cake! Was quite dissapointed…

Beautiful, but not accessible for those in a wheelchair. We visited when the wheelchair access points were closed and it was hell trying to wheel my sister around the estate to get to The Deli. Why this place is not fully accessible is beyond me - it is a major international tourist spot. Staff tried hard to help but the entire central area gravel and toilets miles away from the restaurants. Deli up two huge steps and we felt like a burden. Food OK when we eventually got in. Steak tough as old boots. Brilliant manager took it off the bill but a major disappointment.
