Manley Wine Lodge - Tulbagh

Clean and nice room. The establishment is beautiful and peaceful. The food and wine was very good. And the owners and staff were friendly and very helpful.

We stopped by on a Wednesday midday for a wine tasting. Welcomed by the German owner, who bought the farm during lockdown, shared the most heart warming stories about the latest wines, their respective origin stories as well as the community initiatives that have happened since. Hands down the best farm we visited in the area and one of very few I would make the effort to explore more in future. Although the restaurant was closed that day, we had a lovely wine tasting featuring a wide variety of wines and a delicious Dalewood Fromage cheese board, hosted by the owner as well.

The property was set in a beautiful location, all directions was the views of the mountains and a private dam on the the property was extra special to the eye. Beautiful setting, lots of space that offered so much from the accommodation, to the breakfast building and even small chapel which was cute. The soon to be restaurant will also be a delight in the future. Just want to say a big thank you to my girlfriend who organised with the manger and owner for my 23rd Birthday. Was really special and thoughtful and a great team work on the planing. Overall, it was epic and would definitely come again. :

We went to Tulbagh for a lovely birthday weekend. Our favourite stop was Manley. They made us feel like family! We did a wine tasting with the winemaker and the lady's name I forgot, ate a delicious chicken and bacon salad. We were there every single day while visiting. Thank you Manley. You will see us again!

We were very fortunate to spend a night at Manly this weekend. The accommodation is lovely and we enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of a crackling fire in our room. We enjoyed a phenomenal wine tasting experience with the owner Markus, who entertained us with background information about the delicious wines and stories about leaving Germany and how he came to own a wine farm in Tulbagh. When we are in Tulbagh again we will definitely be back.
