32 guests' feedbackLovely stay on the farm and beautiful surroundings!
Very pleasant, nice overall experience.
It was an experience to stay there, perfect location with the most beautiful view of the mountains from your bed.
We had a wonderful stay at Forty Winks. The units are spacious and provide enough space to keep one busy on rainy days. The kids loved collecting eggs and feeding the horses. The host was always at hand to sort out any issues that we had.
Had a great stay. It is incredibly beautiful and very peaceful.
Great views from the cottage. Friendly welcome from the host. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher and ironing board. Some charming period furnishings. There is a lot of space in the open-plan living and kitchen areas. A good shower and comfortable beds. On the negative side: The cottage needs a thorough cleaning. Maintenance needs to be done.
I was there with my 7-year-old son and we felt safe and at home. The cottage is well-equipped and cozy. We appreciated the underfloor heating and fireplace. The host is so kind and attentive and present when needed. I really loved everything about the place.
Wonderful experience. We notified Peter that we were going to be late on the evening of our arrival. Peter waited for us at the gate and escorted us to our cottage in the dark. We don't know the area very well, so it was good to know Forty Winks were looking out for us. The cottage, the views and the walks all exceeded our expectations.
We truly enjoyed our time at Forty Winks! We will highly recommend this beautiful place for a getaway.
We discovered our favorite place in the Midlands. The cottage and the view are both equally breathtaking!
Will definitely visit Forty Winks again.
Ongelooflike mooi uitsig. Goeie gasvryheid en voorbereiding van die huis.
Really enjoyed our stay. Weather can always be a challenge but we made the most of it. Would definitely return.
Fantastic accommodation, very clean except for some of the cutlery and kitchen items. They needed to be rewashed.
The stay was fantastic - the cottage is very well furnished, with all the necessary equipment - coffee, tea, sugar, farm milk, eggs, braai wood, blitz, etc. Couldn't ask for more, and the hospitality is great. And then the landscape is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Good value for money. Already recommended to my friends.
It was a wonderful long weekend. We enjoyed every moment and will go back again.
We were greeted by the zebras upon our arrival and in the evening the horses came to say hello. It's very quiet and peaceful will definitely visit again.
Very relaxing!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Forty Winks! The Honeymoon Suite delivered above and beyond every expectation and we could hear ourselves think all weekend. Well worth the trip from JHB.
We had a great stay at Forty Winks, it was really nice and the view is really worth it! The host and hostess were very friendly. Thanks for the wood, fresh milk and eggs. Place was very clean.
A beautiful and picturesque setting on a hilltop overlooking rolling hills and small trout dams. The self-catering farmhouse style accommodation is very tastefully decorated with every conceivable appliance, fixture, fitting and apparatus imaginable to ensure a warm and comfortable stay. The underfloor heating and central fireplace with abundant supply of wood is very effective and cosy. A variety of animals will greet you everyday on the doorstep of your cottage. Nothing negative at all to say about this place.
Very neat and clean grievances. Lovely interior. Nice host. Thanks for the free wood, charcoal and flash. Dishwasher is a big treat. Definitely recommend.
Everything was perfect. Great attention to detail.
Loved our stay at Forty Winks! Accommodation was perfect, with the most amazing views of the Spring Grove Dam, the surrounding farms, Forty Winks itself and Giant's Castle. Situated central and close to all tourist attractions etc. Perfect spot for picnicking next to the dam, whilst the hubby was fishing! Serene atmosphere and take your surroundings in! We will definitely be back! Thank you Collin for your hospitality!
We absolutely love Forty Winks. The accommodation is well equipped, comfortable and quirky, the setting absolutely beautiful and the host incredibly hospitable and accommodating to our ever changing booking requirements. We love visiting the area and will most certainly stay at Forty Winks again.
The unit was neat and clean. All units offer a wonderful view of the mountains. The host went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely go back. Thanks Colin for all your effort.
Colin is a wonderful man. The scenery is indescribable in the midlands. The cottage was like a beautiful modern sanctuary in the middle of nature. Our treatment was way above par and I am so incredibly happy ─ I wanted to live there.
Amazing view with wonderful appointed accommodation, beautifully decorated with wonderful host!
Colin is a wonderful host and doesn't leave a stone unturned to make sure you have an unforgettable holiday. The accommodation is modern and is equipped with everything you need. We had the most beautiful view of the 2 dams. Our grandchild couldn't get enough of the game and the farm animals.
A beautiful, serene and secluded getaway. Colin is an outstanding host. He made sure that we were lacking nothing. We arrived in the middle of a cold front, yet stayed warm indoors with the underfloor heating and plenty of firewood. The unit was spotless and luxurious, and the scenery was majestic. We intend to return soon.
Had a wonderful stay in the beautiful chalet, breathtaking views with friendly hosts. Will definitely be going back. Everything was perfect.
