70 guests' feedbackBeautiful cottage with all the amenities you need. We had the most beautiful Rifrug and Jack Russel who came to visit us and enjoyed it very much.
We had an amazing time! Really enjoyed a walk on the farm. Loved the surrounds.
Very nice stay, bed linen is excellent and the bed was warm and cuddly.
Beautiful place between the mountains.
Great overnight stay. slept warm
We had a great stay! Location was out on the farm as we preferred. Very well organized, even though the hostess was not on site. We felt very welcome. Attention to small detail.
Great experience. Exceptionally neat and clean. Quality bedding and furniture. Personal guidance from the farm about walking and biking trails.
Beautiful and peaceful farm stay. Located just outside of Graaff-Reinet on a good farm road. Had everything we needed for self-catering. The host was great, took a lovely walk around the farm and saw quite a few duiker.
The perfect place to stay.
Fabulous, will definitely return again. It was amazing.
It was an absolutely beautiful place, peaceful, bitterly beautiful. It was heavenly. Will definitely go again.
It's a place where you can find yourself again - the view is lovely and the silence deafening. Everything was clean and tidy and we had a great time. We will definitely come again, but for a whole week and not just one night's sleepover! In winter, you will also be able to visit around the fireplace in the kitchen.
What a treasure we discovered! The farm and accommodation exceeded all our expectations. We want to go back and stay for a week. The Wild Olive cottage was very well equipped with everything you need for a wonderful break. The pool was a pleasure to cool off in after the long and hot day. Made a lot of effort to ensure we found the place easily. The dirt road is not long or too bad (we drove a Ford Fiesta).
We had a wonderful stay and slept fantastically! Jock, the 4-legged child made our visit extra special! The splash pool was very nice! We will definitely stay there again! was very friendly and helpful.
Lovely location and Karoo-style cottage. Clean and had everything you need. Beautiful nature.
View is beautiful and a lovely porch for visiting. Fireplace was a plus, nice and warm and slept comfortably. Will definitely stay there again.
One word amazing.
We had a very nice stay. Characterful house with unique outdoor braai pit.
Very calm and quiet.
The accommodation was excellent, the dirt road to the farm was very very bad. This is the reason why I would not recommend it. Our Patrol's door clip shook loose on the road.
Lovely and tranquil. The unit was clean and spacious. We enjoyed the pool and pool lounges while watching the sunset.
Cottage on farm. Very quiet and peaceful. Nice environment. Problem is road last 6 km. Bad corrugated iron. Despite that, we had a nice stay.
We had a nice stay, the house is well equipped for an overnight stay. Quiet and beautiful among the mountains. Nice porches front and back. Would have liked to have met the host in person and not just checked in on codes.
Very nice visit in a lovely environment. All amenities one needs and even a "plunge pool". Very nice view of the mountains. Just a pity that we only stayed one night, because it's the type of place where you can easily stay for a few days.
The men really enjoyed their stay. Was near the farm where they did business. The road is only bad with corrugated iron.
See stars.
Beautiful accommodation with a fireplace inside that we used to stay warm and cook food. Farmstyle stay in a mountainous valley. Perfect for weekend or overnight stay. Easily accessible by car. A jewel which we'll visit again.
Very quiet and peaceful.
Very comfortable and neat.
Silence and stars and not near tarmac.
Only stayed one night during the trip. The place has a lot of potential and we will go back again and spend more time there.
It was really worth spending the night there. The accommodation was well furnished, nice decor and we felt right at home. The little pool and the firebomb were a highlight. The nature, silence and peace we experienced there was unforgettable. The views from the unit were incredibly beautiful. We will definitely spend the night there again and would recommend the Ironstone cottage to someone looking for peace and quiet in the Karoo's nature.
Beautiful house and the plunge pool were ideal for the Karoo heat. The view around the house was breathtakingly beautiful! Will definitely stay there again.
Our only complaint was that we had no idea of how peaceful we would feel at the cottage, so we only booked for a stop-over! Would love to go back to explore and enjoy the ambience for a couple of days!
The cottages were well equipped and even for power outages there were some lights. The showers with hot water were lovely and we were short of blankets for bedtime. Had a great time.
The rooms were large and well-appointed. Aircons worked. The bathrooms are satisfactory. The kitchen had essentials but could use a nonstick frying pan, and medium-sized pot. Moka pot was very welcome, but missing its handle. We could have used a candle or two, or a better rechargeable light for loadshedding.
Thank you for the great stay and that you assisted in every way you could. From braaihout to letting us drive around on the farm and having sundowners in the mountains! Lovely stay with everything one need. You will see us again in the winter time when we can make use of the boma and indoor braai! Thanks!
All right, just one mistake here and there, but we enjoyed it.
Cottages are well appointed and comfortable. Though it is on a working farm, we felt that a bit of effort could be made to tidy around the farm. Lots of "rubbish and broken stuff left around sheds and in the veld. Input from the owners was very interesting and appreciated.
I would definitely recommend this gem! We enjoyed the break so much! And best of all, our dog kids could get along!
Simple farmhouse, tastefully and authentically furnished, an oasis late afternoon after a long drive from Bredasdorp on the way to Pretoria. There are a few kilometers of dirt road on the way there and a slightly taller vehicle is needed to reach the cottage. Very clean, nice beds and bedding. Self-catering, sufficiently equipped for cooking or barbecuing. Our two Schnauzers really enjoyed the freedom. The temporary pool was lovely to cool off in. We would love to stay here again. Especially in this time of Covid there is no exposure to other people.
Many thanks to Nilene and Will for their exceptional hospitality and the permission to bring my 3 dog children. Don't know who enjoyed it more, us or the animals. House equipped with all the basic facilities, clean and tidy. The small splash pool was an added bonus on the hot days. Lovely walk around the farm in the Karoo eld which for the first time in a long time is starting to show green sprouts after the little rain they got. Will definitely incorporate another visit there in the future.
The most beautiful unit and so neat and well equipped. The stars in the evening are absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. If we could, we would have stayed another night.
The living area's porch definitely takes the cake. We couldn't use the nice fire pit. The wind was bad. The stoep and its braai area offer shelter from the wind. The views over the mountains are very beautiful. It is quiet and peaceful. Directions were very clear and we followed them easily. Will and his cute dogs came to greet us and made sure everything was ok. There is a plug on the porch, close enough to the cars. So we could keep the bakkie's fridge going. It was much appreciated. Only problem was that we didn't stay longer. Will stay at least 2 or 3 nights next time.
Unit was well equipped and very tidy. All in good working order. Owners were very friendly, would stay here again anytime.
The cutlery needs some attention.
The kitchen is well equipped and the beds slept well. A peaceful, quiet atmosphere with a view over the Karoo. The directions to the cottage were very clear and we were able to find everything easily. Can recommend it.
Lots of character, with everything you need for a night's sleep - the splash pool was the icing on the cake.
Ironstone cottage was an awesome find. I have already recommended it to a few people and I will definitely stay there again. I loved it. The views are spectacular! Stunning stars, great amenities and a very comfy bed.
Unfortunately the gravel road leading to the farm had just been graded and the sharp slate rock slit one of our tyre; however, the owner (Nilene) was very kind and went out of her way to ensure that we got a spare tyre at Tyre Mart the following morning. Thank you! Nevertheless we had a very pleasant overnight stay at Ironstone Cottage while travelling down to the coast. The unit is spacious and cosy, with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains!
We really enjoyed our time at Molweni cottage. The beds and bedding are great quality and the little house is tastefully furnished. The swimming pool is a great treat after our long trip on a really hot day. We will be back!
We spend three wonderful days in the cottage. Well equipped and absolutely clean. The garden, the fireplace and braai facilities are a dream.
Neat, very good continuous communication and help from manager/owner. Farm atmosphere. Very nice place for photographers, quiet and peaceful. Thank you for a good night's rest.
Such a gem in the Karoo. Very quaint, peaceful and homely.
Lovely self catering accommodation. Very well located, close to Graaff-Reinet and Camdeboo National Park. Will definitely stay longer next time.
Thank you for the friendly and helpful hostess. Will always use your well-equipped house again.
The single night's sleepover was refreshing. But to properly appreciate this stay and explore the farm we will want to stay at least 2 nights or more next time.
Perfect getaway to relax and regroup. Peaceful and quiet.
Lovely, homely self-catering cottage that has every required to enjoy a farm stay.
Peaceful and lovely cottage.
We really enjoyed our time there - one bathroom was a bit of a struggle and the Wi-Fi would not work, but otherwise very enjoyable. The bathrooms were beautifully done.
Picture percale linen, fluffy towels, jugs overflowing with lavender, bookshelves filled to the brim and a cottage with a magnificent view. Molweni Cottage is an absolute delight. Highly recommended. Excellent value for money. We look forward to our next stay. Thank you.
Easy to book and very good communication. A very pleasant overnight stay.
Food for the soul in the Karoo. Bring a lot of wood for the nice outside braai area.
Nostalgic farm feeling, nice and private. Quality linen ensured a great night's rest. Attention to minor detail and finishing can be recommended. Definitely a place for someone who wants to get away from a busy lifestyle.
We enjoyed the stay. Was clean and neat. You get a real farm house atmosphere. Everything you need is there.
A bit pricey for what it has to offer. Needs a few improvements.
We really rested well here. Not too far from Graaff-Reinet. Will definitely stay here again on the way to Cape Town. Stunning, quiet and tranquil. Karoo tranquility at its best.
There were too many shortcomings which I already gave feedback to the owner.
Thank you to Nilene for prompt and helpful advice.
