52 guests' feedbackIt's incredibly beautiful. Had a nice stay, everything you need is there. That silence was good for the soul. Friendly guests.
Yes, it was nice and peaceful.
If you enjoy the beauty of nature and want a break from the city, this is perfect. The dogs on the premises are very playful and you need a vehicle with a high ground clearance as it's on a farm.
Wonderful! Quiet, beautiful view and nice people.
Cottage was clean and neat. Well equipped.
It was a fantastic time. Was too short. Many attractions, the longest planted tree 5 km away, largest Essenhoutbos on the farm, most beautiful river, many mountain biking places.
What a lovely cottage, and absolutely loved all the dogs!!!!
Kaltenbach was amazing! I would give 10 stars for everything.
It was so nice, peaceful with the most beautiful view and surroundings. The cottage is comfortable. Friendliest people.
What a little gem. Gerda's touch is fine and everything that one might have forgotten, she already had in the house. Rebecca welcomed us with a big smile. Will definitely visit again.
We had a very nice stay.
5/5 for reception, friendliness, cleanliness and location, the water pool is an absolute bonus with beautiful scenery.
We had a great time.
Beautiful home with the most amazing hosts. I wish I could have stayed longer but will definitely be back for another stay.
It was delicious. The owners are very friendly and the place to stay was great. Everything very clean and tidy. The view was something special and I would definitely stay there again.
Very neat and nice. Would definitely recommend.
The view is beautiful and Gerda is very hospitable and helpful. The cottage is small and close to the main house, but we made it work. We were mostly out during the day and explored the world. There is so much to do in the area! The location in relation to restaurants and excursions are excellent!
Excellent quality at an affordable rate!
Beautiful neat cottage with everything you need. Delicious braai place and lovely porch with the most beautiful view. Very accommodating host and hostess.
Had a nice stay for sure.
Place is very neat and it very beautiful. The view is picturesque. Everything was very clean and unit has everything one needs. Was lovely to make a lovely fire in the fireplace in the evening. Unfortunately, there was no one to say exactly where the waterfall or pond was.
Very peaceful and nice.
Hosts are friendly and sociable. Cottage clean and cozy.
The accommodation is excellent.
Beautiful place, but was unfortunate to stay there on a very cold weekend. The wind came badly through the roof tiles (no insulation) and the open layout in Takbok meant that the fireplace's heat did not spread throughout the room. We were frozen even though we were heavily dressed. One day we couldn't go out because of the weather and couldn't even play games because our hands were frozen. When we spoke, moisture came out of our mouths! It was a cold weekend nationwide, but what surprised me was the owner's bland comment that the roof was designed to counteract summer heat (what about people who live there in the cold, because it's Magoebaskloof and the weather often turns to cold there again) and that our fires were not big enough (we burned 7 bags of wood in 1 day and used up 11 bags of wood in total for the weekend and didn't even grill). A gas heater or electric heater would have been appreciated. I would have paid even more so that we could have a comfortable weekend and not such an unpleasant cold time. Owner's answer to that was "NO, that's what the fireplace is there for!".
Loved every second. Words cannot describe the view with the waterfall in the background.
We stayed for one night in the beautiful Takbok unit. The unit is very nicely decorated and well equipped. The view is special! Free WiFi is available. Wish we could have stayed longer to take in the tranquility and explore the area better. Aunty, thank you very much for your exceptional hospitality and focus on the finer details. Your garden is a loop court!
Hearty people, beautiful nature, clean.
The hosts were the perfect, friendly, helpful hosts.
Beautiful place, with the most beautiful view and waterfall sounds in the background.
It is a very beautiful environment with wonderful, hospitable people.
Very friendly hosts and great views/sounds!
Extremely friendly host and hostess. Ideally furnished cottage. Most beautiful views. We'll see you again soon!
We will definitely visit there again. Only bad thing was that we didn't stay there long enough.
Lovely place with the most beautiful view and the friendliest people, would definitely recommend.
The views at the cottage are unbelievable, the atmosphere is so peaceful. Fully equipped with everything you may need. Gerda was the most wonderful host. Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back.
Cutest cottage, well appointed, friendliest hosts. Most beautiful environment!
Although the cottage is comfortable, it needs some sprucing up. Fridge could be replaced. Few more items in the kitchen could be added eg a bread knife. Too many dogs as a result too much waste all over the lawn.
We were very warmly and kindly welcomed by the owners. The place is very well equipped with everything you will need. It is clean and tidy and nice and spacious for a family. It was nice and quiet with stunning views. Only criticism I would make is to put a double bed in the room because most people are couples and don't want to sleep on single beds. Also, an instant coffee/tea for the guests in the morning would be nice. And then just to indicate that the road will not be accessible with an ordinary car. It was a difficult, rough road to the cottage and not all guests would know it.
Very tidy, tranquility is appreciated. Will definitely use the place again if I'm in the area.
We were warmly welcomed, and had a very nice stay.
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful place. Breathtaking views, friendly people, warm beds, beautiful decor, everything you need to relax. We will definitely make a visit here again. Fantastic!
It really is a beautiful view and the service from Gerda and Herby is amazing. They made me feel so welcome. The house is clean and beautiful. I will come back again for sure.
We had a great time at Kaltenbach Cottage. The dead silence in the evenings let us sleep well and rest. The unit is not too far from the tarmac.
We had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the view. Hopefully we can visit there again soon.
Hospitality from Anton and Gerda was top notch. Will definitely see you soon.
Host was excellent and scenery beautiful.
It was really food for my soul. Beautiful place and world. Will want to go again soon people are friendly and helpful Love the place.
We'll be back for that vacation!
We enjoyed a pleasant couple of days despite inclement weather, and would consider staying there again.
Very cute place. The owners are very friendly and comforted us when we had a setback in health that prevented us from traveling. The place is very cute and well equipped and homely furnished. Only recommendation I can make is a double bed and steak knives. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
Anton was very helpful, will go back for a weekend or so to relax in nature.
