29 guests' feedbackWe loved Far Away Place. The cottage is furnished with everything you could need. So much to do in the area. Mark also made us feel very welcome.
Great. I loved that dressing gowns were supplied! And the Volpes blanket was so comfy that I went out and bought one!
If you're looking for a place to relax and recharge, Far Away Place Cottages is an absolute gem. Highly recommended!
Far Away Place is one of the nicest getaways we've ever visited! We stayed in the Treehouse and everything was great! Clean, fireplace, TV, everything needed in the kitchen. Good places to eat in the area. Thanks to the host for the special attention and always making sure we are comfortable.
Would recommend Far Away Place anytime to someone looking to get away and relax.
Friendly, very comfortable and well equipped, with a beautiful view!
The farm is very peaceful. The cottages are well furnished and comfortable. Very hospitable and accommodating.
Friendly reception and silence to enjoy it!
We had a very nice stay. Very nice and clean and would definitely go again. Thank you very much.
The freshly baked bread provided was a nice surprise as well as the fruit was much appreciated. The firewood provided and more to buy was used every night in the fireplace and braai due to the cold and wet weather. Also enjoyed the benches at the two dams for sundowners and a bit of fishing. Will definitely be back.
Special destination!
Very nice visit, units very well furnished and lovely views.
Can definitely recommend 'Far Away Place Treehouse'!
Beautiful landscape, neat and clean accommodation, friendly owners.
Luxury home and with attention to detail that makes it truly special.
The Midlands exceeded my wildest expectation. Very friendly people. Surprised by the great variety of things to do.
Very comfortable cottage with everything you might need. Will visit again!
A perfect spot to unwind. Being pet friendly was an added bonus.
Only one aspect bothered. Mark was unaware that our puppies were coming with us although it was communicated and we had to pay a R250 cleaning fee.
I would recommend this place to anyone traveling in this area.
This is such a stunning stunning place. Wow! Wow! Wow! We enjoyed our stay so much! Friendly reception and such a beautiful place!
This was the best value for money I have ever found in a place to stay. Friendly people, very nice view and very comfortable.
Stunning views and great service. Friendly dogs willing to lead hikes and keep the bed warm if allowed.
Had a wonderful weekend. Would recommend to anyone. Our dog kids had so much fun playing with all the other dog friends. Would love to go again.
Mark is an excellent host. The farm atmosphere is wonderful and we had a nice rest after a day of long driving. Children really enjoyed it.
What a awesome place, extremely friendly owner, definitely everything you would need away from home. I would highly recommend.
Thank you very much for everything and your friendly reception upon our arrival at your place. Thank you for going out of your way to help us when the guest was finished and for allowing us, at no extra cost, to let an extra person sleep over. We had a great time, the place has a beautiful view. You will definitely see us again!
Very tastefully equipped. Friendly, warm reception by owners. Lovely view. The unit has everything that's needed for a nice, relaxed stay.
Piece of heaven for 4 days! Lovely stay, clean, tidy! Hospitality and reception was awesome! The dog kids love them! Would definitely recommend the place! Mark, Lee and woefkids thank you thank you for everything!
