51 guests' feedbackWe had a lovely overnight stay. Thank you very much. The place is beautiful.
Beautiful area, clean and tidy facilities. Fireplace was very nice and enjoyed my stay.
Great place to stay, clean and neat. It really is a hidden gem.
Quiet environment. Anita put in a lot of effort.
Wonderful stay with welcoming hosts. This is always our go-to stay when we travel out this way. It is peaceful and clean with beautiful views. It has everything that you need with so many extra touches added to enhance your experience.
Very nice stay. Very neat and a fantastic view.
It was an unexpected, luxurious getaway! Consider returning for our honeymoon!
The house is very comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful interior and wonderful surroundings. Fireplace with enough wood drove away the cold. Slept very well.
The cottage was fully equipped and so homely. The surroundings are beautiful. The fireplace and heater were a definite bonus in the cold weather.
Everything went smoothly.
Anita was friendly and helpful, and made sure everything was to our liking. We had ample space, and were highly impressed at the cleanliness and hospitality.
The cottage is well equipped. The garden is beautiful and well maintained. Large trees provide shade and the Crocodile River passes a few meters away. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful place, I can definitely recommend this place. The owners are friendly and helpful.
Very nice and pleasant guests. Very nice place right next to the running river.
We were only there for the weekend for a wedding nearby so didn't make use of all they had to offer, but what we did get was absolutely amazing. The cottages are beautiful and spotless. The place is fully stocked with what you could need and the views and garden were magnificent. Overall a really lovely place.
The house has everything you need and is very tastefully furnished.
Ronnie welcomed us I couldn't find anything in the cottage who helped us with the WiFi password, I couldn't even find the underfloor heating that is on the ad. It was bitterly cold and warm sheets and electric blanket would be an asset. The living room and bedroom have a very dangerous step that is not clearly signposted. My husband and I fell there and could have had ugly consequences, luckily we only have a few blue spots and stretched muscles. I also expected breakfast to be provided, but it was only cheese, yogurt and a sandwich left in the fridge with orange juice. The rusk was delicious with our coffee. A delicious hot shower and power during load shedding was the highlight. Unfortunately there was a lot of dog poo on the lawn near the river and you had to tread carefully. Definitely a clean, good, comfortable accommodation, conveniently located.
It was a pleasure to stay at Cradle Cottage. The cottage was very neat and everything a person needs. I like the boxed milk instead of those little milks that have 3 drops in them.
The hospitality during our stay in your cottage was majorly impressive. The hosts friendly disposition and attention to detail impressed us very much, and we were very comfortable during the time that we spent at the accommodation. We will most definitely recommend the accommodation to anyone that wants a hospitable, comfortable, safe and secure place to stay.
The owner is very friendly and helpful. The place is very well furnished and perfectly located to Rhinolion reserve and Sterkfontein caves. The place is also ideally located for cyclists.
Our unit was very clean, tidy and stylishly decorated. Linen and towels were spotless and of good quality. Kitchen was perfectly equipped with absolutely everything one could possibly need. Had a great stay, definitely recommend it.
An extremely large cottage with everything you need in it. Enjoyed our stay. Place very clean and well looked after. Host Anita and her son Ronnie assisted whenever we needed anything. Main bedroom overlooks a river. Grounds extremely well maintained. Just a fantastic place to stay. Beautifully decorated cottage. Felt at home.
It's the little things that impressed us. The goodies in the fridge, the rusks, croissants. We didn't expect that.
We enjoyed it.
Great value for money!
Weaver Cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed. Definitely value for money and the small touches made us feel at home and comfortable. Will recommend it to anyone!
It was one of the most wonderful weekends, a refreshing experience. The nature is beautiful, the reception friendly and a must try for anyone staying in the area. Thank you again for a wonderful weekend!
They made a lot of effort to make our stay nice and also a lot of effort to make it as safe as possible in a very unsafe area. The Cottages are beautiful and we had a great time.
Anita and Ronald are two warm, hospitable, cordial people! It's truly a little paradise with the calm, peaceful nature around you. The cottage was more than perfect! Small details make it truly a home with more than one needs. We slept great, very comfortable bed. I would recommend this place to everyone! We are definitely going back for more of the paradise! Many thanks again to Anita and Ronald. You are heart people! See you again soon.
The place is located in a very nice area / environment and is very clean and tidy with a nice view and is very safe with a security gate, the people are very hospitable and welcomed us with arrival and key. Would definitely recommend it!
Everything was perfect. Very nice place and very quiet.
The owner was very helpful and the accommodation is very nice and has lots of facilities.
Had a lovely stay, beautiful environment. Cottages had everything we needed, felt home.
A beautiful place to stay.
We have stayed here several times and every time you feel absolutely at home with the hospitality and friendly service you get here.
Anita was a fantastic hostess who put in extra effort and the stay was neat and comfortable.
Weavers Cottage is one of those places I would recommend again and again. Anita's kindness and willingness to help is commendable. The Cottage itself is very tastefully furnished and there is nothing missing. I will definitely book Weavers Cottage again.
We were very impressed with the accommodation overall, everything was in place and well rounded, we would definitely recommend it.
We've been to Weavers Cottage three times and will definitely stay there again.
Could not have wanted for more. Everything was just perfect. Unfortunately our guests left early so had paid for a night we didn't use, but it was worth it. Cosy fireplace, clean, heated floor, little extras in kitchen and lots of space.
It's a hidden gem and we'll definitely come back! The best accommodation ever, for sure. Thanks so much!
Very clean and tidy place. Met all our needs. Relaxed wonderfully. Environment beautiful.
Had a great stay. Close to the wedding venue. Clean and neat. We will definitely stay there again. Value for money.
Weaver's Cottage is a really great and clean place to visit. A weekend is too short. Thank you very much and we will definitely visit Weaver's Cottage again.
Friendly people, neat accommodation. Will stay there again.
Beautiful place. Anita took care of everything. So many extras. One of the best places we have ever stayed as a family.
Awesome place. Safe, quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Enjoyed every moment of our stay. Very friendly owners. Thank you for a wonderful time at your place, you really went out of their way to make it very comfortable for us. It was just perfect!
I cannot wait to go back. It was such a wonderful opportunity to escape for a night. Sitting by the river with a fire chatting and relaxing. It is definitely a place I can recommend.
Thank you Anita, for this beautiful, well located place with a unique atmosphere of calmness. Had such a great time, will definitely visit again.
The best place in Johannesburg to stay. Central, safe and extremely beautiful. Very good service and they make a lot of effort. Thank you very much, we will come again and recommend the place.
It is beautiful, there is nothing too short and exceeds all expectations. We will definitely come back again. The master bedroom's view of the river is amazing! Friendly service. Thank you very much Anita.
Had a great stay. Als was very nice, clean and tidy!
