Fynbos Ridge has always been special but now the new owners have taken over, Brian and Liz have brought a new dimension to the property. They and manager Martin could not have done more to enhance our stay. The cottages have been completely refurbished in a more modern style, flat screen TVs and new DVDs are in every cottage, useful particularly for a long stay. There is an in-house laundry service and best of all Brian is a superb cook. As well as dinners in the country house Brian was willing to cook for us and deliver to the cottage, even cooking when we entertained and the charges were very reasonable. We felt so at home. Brian and Stuart went fishing many mornings - they didn't catch much but it is a mark of how friendly and inclusive they are as a family. They have invested a great deal in Fynbos and so deserve to succeed. A month wasn't long enough and we left with great sadness.
