8 guests' feedbackVery nice stay. Cottage is atmospheric, very well furnished and everything works easily. The surroundings are peaceful, very beautiful and one feels isolated.
Isolated cabin on a working farm. Paraffin lamps throughout, need to get used to the smell of paraffin when staying there.
Unfortunately, the weather was very wet and miserable and so we could not make use of the lovely large verandah. Three adults and two dogs and a fire in the living area were very tight. However, we had a stunning walk up the mountain with lots of lovely fynbos. Plenty of cutlery and crockery including a gas toaster! The donkey boiler worked well once we fired it up and the hostess very thoughtfully left us a bottle of wine, fresh farm milk, plenty of wood and some really good rusks.
The perfect hideaway where batteries can be recharged and nature enjoyed.
A great spot to escape to with your furkids - ours had a ball exploring (safely)!
'n Heerlike wegbreek van die alledaagse gejaag en luukshede op 'n pragtige plaas. Die skoon en goed ingerigte huisie het ons sommer dadelik laat tuis voel en ons het die rustigheid van die natuur baie geniet.
A wonderful place to just unwind and relax. Enjoyed the remoteness and having on electricity, having to heat water with a donkie and the fresh farm milk. The dogs loved the openness just to be able to run. The walks are amazing! Definitely be returning!
The view is beautiful, the dogs could frolic and the walking route was wonderful!
