188 guests' feedbackFriendly, helpful host and hostess. Breakfast was off the books!
Absolutely fantastic. Denise is an amazing host. We were warmly welcomed, there was sherry in the rooms and electric blankets on the beds, that Denise switched on for us whilst we went stargazing. Super, super breakfast included and served with a generous smile and chat. Can highly recommend.
Denise and David were amazing hosts; it was like "home away from home"! Attention to detail was great and breakfast was yummy.
Very nice. Excellent hostess. Small detail to make everything more enjoyable.
The rooms are beautiful and the breakfast delicious. And my vehicle was under a canopy.
Denise and Dave were awesome hosts. They saw to our every need, even being accommodating to my 79-year-old mother. Awesome breakfast and lots of friendly chats. And the kettle was always boiled, at the ready!
Denise and John very friendly and helpful.
Had a great time. The hostess is very friendly. Place very neat and clean and nice breakfast.
Excellent value for money and the English breakfast is great. We enjoyed chatting to the hosts. Very friendly and helped with questions. We will definitely stay again when visiting Sutherland.
What a comfortable stay with friendly and very helpful hosts. The accommodation is a very good place to stay.
Denise was a fantastic host. Warm and welcoming home. Everything exactly as advertised.
Quiet, very peaceful, made to feel at home.
We had a great time. Place was clean and tidy. We were welcomed with open arms and pampered. Would recommend them anytime and would stay there again. They even booked dinner on our behalf, as there are so few dining options.
We had a very nice stay. Everything was clean and tidy. Hostess was very friendly and loving. We ate like kings the morning before we drove. Would definitely recommend for an overnight stop in Sutherland.
Enjoyed a lot, except for the shower. The water pressure must be increased.
Very friendly, welcoming owners, knowledgeable on area.
Very friendly people. Clean. Good breakfast. Shower far below standard.
Primrose Cottage welcomed us with their warm hearts. We had a lovely stay and Denise made sure that we are comfortable, warm and well looked after. Thank you for all the coffee and hot chocolate!
Very quiet and peaceful.
We went stargazing and it was beautiful. We had a comfortable stay.
We loved it. Denise and David were very friendly and wonderful hosts.
The hosts provide a delicious breakfast, had booked our star-gazing experience for us, and go out of their way to make one's visit a good one.
The night temperature was -3 degrees during our visit at Primrose, but we were warm and comfortable.
Very nice stay. Denise made us feel very much at home in her home.
Safe and secure central area of Sutherland. Dinner bookings were arranged by our hostess. Room is spacious, clean with heated blankets. Definitely will stay at Primrose Cottage when in Sutherland again.
Warm enough in the middle of winter, with electric blankets too.
Lovely hosts that you give you personal attention and care. For our family of 4, it was like having our own private little home. The electric blankets and heaters were fantastic in the very cold Sutherland weather. Rooms were clean and spacious with everything you need for your stay. The breakfast was lovely and enough to keep us going till supper time, which says a lot when you have teenagers with you. Denise made our dinner reservation and arranged our planetarium visit for us as well. Fantastic stay, thank you. Highly recommended for families with teens.
Was very kindly received as well as during the time we stayed there. There was a problem with the shower but it was fixed immediately after we replaced it. It was not the owner's fault. The room we stayed in was very neat, clean and nice and warm. We will definitely use the accommodation again when we go to Sutherland again.
Would have been better to know in advance the en-suite bathroom is a shower in the corner and the toilet in the converted but literally the wardrobe. In the end it was classic and funny and okay.
If I go again, I will stay here again.
Neat and clean. Our hosts were fantastic, friendly, and informative. Breakfast 110%. We enjoyed our stay and will recommend Primrose Cottage to our friends and family.
It felt like I was visiting family! From the moment we stopped, we were welcomed like family. Recommendation for dinner and delicious breakfast was served, while we are still visiting. The stay was too short.
The hostess is very friendly and the double room was neat and clean. The shower in the corner of the room and the toilet in the built-in cupboard are very strange. The shower is also only suitable for tall people, because the faucets sit particularly high. The breakfast was elegantly and tastefully served.
Very friendly people and slept well and warm.
Tasty breakfast. Great stay.
The facilities were very good. The hosts were helpful and gave us valuable information for our visit to the town. A very comfortable stay-over.
Neat and friendly service. Everything we needed for a night's stay was available.
Sufficient for overnight stay and breakfast. Prefer shower over bath but otherwise everything was fine and Dave and Denise very friendly and good hosts.
Also stuck in load shedding. Out of their control, but might consider investing in solar power.
Slept, ate and visited very well. Denise is a special hostess.
Very hospitable reception with everything you need. Will use this again on our next visit.
The room is tiny with a shower in the room and the toilet in the closet! The breakfast was nice.
Denise and David make one feel comfortably "at home" and are knowledgeable about the area and go out of their way to make the stay pleasant.
Awesome service thanks.
Clean and tidy and a delicious breakfast before we left again for our next destination.
The Star Road alone was worth it and there are various additional side-dresses available. The guided tour of the old church is very interesting. Good places to eat, nice town. At Primrose Cottage, Denise and David looked after us well and gave us good advice. And a first class breakfast.
Excellent service and assistance.
Quiet location in town, on a large plot, with covered parking for our car, and easy access to the house. Hostess, Denise, was warm, chatting and helpful, suggesting venues for dinner and reserving a table for us. Our en-suite room had everything we needed, and the kitchen was available for tea and coffee. We had a lovely breakfast and a most enjoyable stay.
Service that is excellent with hosts who know the area well, carry people on their hands and are always ready with advice on where to go and what to do. Breakfast delicious.
Thank you Denise for hosting us, we appreciate every single touch. It was so lovely. Thank you for your patience with my son as well, it is really appreciated. He loved it.
Clean, tidy and a very friendly hostess! Breakfast was unexpected and very tasty!
The host and hostess of the cottage are the most heartwarming, caring and hospitable couple, from the moment you arrived. They treat you as royalty because of their background. The breakfast was every morning made and served with much love. They went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one and surely we will return soon. The guests' area was nightly warmed with heaters and electric blankets. The temperature was undesirable cold. It was winter! They also guided us on which to visit and when to visit. We will definitely book at Primrose Cottage again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Denise was very welcoming and was always available for assistance. The rooms were immaculate and the electric blankets were a bonus! We were treated to an amazing breakfast and Denise went out of her way to make something for a member of our group with dietary restrictions. The WiFi also worked very well, which is a plus in Sutherland. Our group had a great time and we will definitely stay at Primrose Cottage again.
Beds are excellent. Hospitality is excellent. Breakfast is excellent. Bathroom for room with 2 single beds has only a bath and is across the hall. Bathroom for room with double bed is inside the room and very interesting. You must have a sense of humor. This is a great option for Sutherland!
Very nice accommodation. Owners very friendly and helpful. Secure parking. Will definitely stay there again if we visit Sutherland again.
Primrose was a great find. Denise was a great hostess. Special touches were the electric blanket, sherry and lovely breakfast.
Lovely, central accommodation in Sutherland with neat, clean rooms and bathrooms. A delicious English breakfast rounded off our stay there.
We had a wonderful stay. Our hostess was friendly and made us feel at home. The guest house was neat, clean and perfectly located. I would recommend it to anyone. The breakfast was fantastic.
Very pleasant and friendly hosts. Denise and David were very supportive and helped with good advice for our staying. Good breakfast. Primrose is a very good place to stay in Sutherland.
Hostess friendly and helpful. Electric blankets for warm sleep. Most delicious breakfast prepared by Denise - table neatly set. It was a huge treat.
Denise and David's hospitality was fantastic. Showering in the room is impractical/not private if you are not sleeping with a partner. Wonderful and friendly service!
Very nice and friendly people.
The hostess has good knowledge of attractions in and around the town. Although the room layout is unusual, it met the overnight requirements of a night or two and was clean. The breakfast was fresh, sufficient and very tasty. You can have a nice chat with the hostess.
It would have been nice if the bath-shower had had a curtain to stop the water messing.
Denise and her husband are very friendly and offer the most delicious breakfast in the morning. The accommodation is clean and tidy at all times. Thank you very much.
The hosts went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.
Thank you very much, Denise, we had a great time staying with you. Breakfast was very nice.
Great place to stay and do star gazing as part of your travel plan. From Sutherland one can travel over the Ouberg Pass into the Tankwa and on to Ceres. Will recommend as a must-do trip over the Ouberg Pass from Sutherland as you then descend into the Tankwa Karoo.
She could answer every question we wanted to know. She also turned on our warm blanket while we were out stargazing on a windy cold Monday night. Had a wonderful stay.
Friendly atmosphere, extremely homely feeling, although hostess is English speaking, she goes out of her way to show her respect for Afrikaans, water/electricity/safety for car, everything to our taste. You sense good values.
The number one place to stay overnight. The hostess is a stately English lady who provides a high standard of service and is extremely competent. Just what you can expect from such a person. Gives good advice regarding restaurants and attractions and her other half is a great source of informative information. All needs are met and everything works well. Is stretch recommended.
It was nice to be home here. Was so luxurious to get into a warm bed. The breakfast was delicious. Thank you very much.
The hostess makes you feel at home immediately. I just mentioned to her that it was my husband's birthday the next day and she made his day exceptionally special. Can't wait to go there again. Even their normal breakfast is very tasty. The room is neat and warm. Warm blankets are put on early in the evening and the sherry is topped up daily. The special attractions are also recommended. We give them 200%.
We had a wonderful time with our short visit to Sutherland. People are friendly, the area is tranquil and peaceful. Had awesome time at the hotel, definitely worthy a visit if you are in the area.
David and Denise are the loveliest people. Their cottage is clean and comfortable and you feel welcome.
Denise is a friendly and helpful hostess who booked our star-gazing experience as well as our dinner. Breakfast was tastefully served and delicious.
Our hostess, Denise, went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The breakfast she served us was delicious and beautifully served. We will definitely go back to Primrose Cottage again.
We were warmly received upon our arrival. What an absolutely wonderful couple who run the place, and so helpful! Their knowledge of the area and attractions was of great value. The food is excellent, as is their hospitality. Two wonderful people that we will not easily forget!
The hosts are very helpful and friendly regarding information about things to see and do in town and surrounds. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Primrose cottage and hope to return in the future.
We had a lovely stay at Primrose Cottage. The hosts are very friendly and provided us with some great suggestions of things to do in the area. Breakfast is excellent!
Denise is the perfect hostess, warm and friendly. The accommodation was neat and clean with everything you need in the cold Sutherland, down to an electric blanket. A delicious breakfast carefully prepared and served sent us into the cold ready for the rest of our trip. I highly recommend Primrose Cottage.
Breakfast was five stars and the silver on the table bore the "I really care" stamp.
The breakfast was tasty and nutritious.
Very friendly hosts. Enjoyed our stay very much.
We loved staying at Primrose Cottage. The accommodation was great. Denise and David made us feel very welcome and it was difficult to leave.
Neat, clean, good value for money.
Room comfortable and clean. Take a comfortable shower with nice hot water. Delicious onyx bite. Toilet inside closet was cramped with awkward step. Sink has no hot water.
Friendly, neat and a nice breakfast.
Ek moes hierdie resensie al lankal geskryf het. Ons het een nag by Primrose Cottage in Sutherland oorgeslaap in Februarie 2021 tydens ons motorfietstoer deur die Tankwa Karoo. Dit was ook ons eerste keer in Sutherland. Ons het heerlik gebly. Die gasheer en gasvrou is ongelooflik gasvry en vriendelik en hulle weet alles van Sutherland. Dit was ook seker die lekkerste ontbyt roereier wat ek in 'n lang tyd geëet het. Die huis het baie karakter en mens voel sommer dadelik tuis. Ek sal dit nie as luuks beskryf nie, maar alles is netjies en skoon en daar is alles wat mens nodig het. Ons sal verseker weer hier bly!
Denise is extremely helpful and did more than expected. She helped us with restaurant recommendations and even called to confirm their hours and availability. She is very friendly and pleasant and we felt very much at home. Room was very neat, clean and big enough. The toilet is in the closet, it was a bit strange but it was clean and tidy. Breakfast was delicious.
Very friendly host and hostess. Everything was very clean and they were very friendly!
The owner was extremely helpful in booking star gazing and dinner for us.
Badkamergeriewe baie basies, klein en oudmodies. Die elektriese kombers was 'n regte lewensredder aangesien dit nogal koud was.
Toilet in hanging closet. Really? For big tall adults a nightmare. Cottage confusing. These are bedrooms inside a house owned by the owner. Do they share a kitchen? No privacy.
Owners of Primrose Cottage were very friendly and hospitable.
Wonderful hospitality and stay. Great breakfast.
See stars.
The host was amazing (English and us of course Afrikaans, but the chats in between were invaluable). It was a bit strange to sleep in someone's house type (the guest room) but wow, all in their place, lots of antiques and there are very fine details that have been thought of. Really enjoyed it and the host made arrangements for a stargazing excursion with no effort. Would definitely recommend, so will visit again.
Hosts Denise and Dave were so very helpful and informative, we so enjoyed learning about Sutherland and the SALT from them. They also gave us great recommendations re local attractions and eateries.
Denise thank you for our wonderful room and the breakfast and all the conversations we had! We enjoyed it thoroughly! Freek and Marira
Lovely welcome and the breakfast was delicious. Very clean and neat. We had a nice stay!
The room is tidy with quality linen. The hosts also made arrangements for us to stargaze which was truly fantastic. Pleasant stay.
The owners are very hospitable and go out of their way to make guests feel welcome. We really enjoyed our stay there.
Host and wife are two lovely people who went out of their way for us, e.g. put on the beds' warm blankets when we were out for the evening
Friendly and helpful hosts. Room small and basic, part of owner's residence with improvised wash (shower in corner of bedroom) and toilet (in closet in the same room). Functional but expensive in relation to other alternatives in town or our other accommodation on our trip.
Staff talk an awful lot. Toilet is built into the built-in wardrobe and shower in another corner, sink does not have hot water and a hot water bottle is provided. Staff keep asking you about what you're going to do and what you've done. Too bad they never see us again.
11 out of 10 to our ever attentive hosts, Denise and Dave. The attention to every little detail is appreciated. From the bookings at the planetarium and stargazing to the bangers and fresh fruit for breakfast. Our stay exceeded our expectations.
Our hostess was kind enough to make reservations for us for a stargazing event and for a visit to the satellite station. Both the hostess and host are cultured, informed people. If I were to go to Sutherland again I would definitely stay there again.
Most friendly welcome, helpful, accommodating and interesting, thank you!
Denise received us very kindly. Nice cozy room. A little cold, but nice and warm feather blanket and heater. 5 star breakfast ended our 1 night visit on a high note. Would recommend it for sure.
Denise from Primrose Cottage is a very thorough, stylish hostess. We had a wonderful stay and were treated the next morning to a delicious breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, bacon, eggs, orange juice and coffee! She even made coffee late at night after we came back from the stargazing. Interesting use of space in the guest room! Shower, sink and a surprising toilet in the hanging closet! We would stay there again.
We think this is Sutherland's little star with fantastic friendly hosts, nothing was too much and they laid on tea and coffee and a yummy breakfast - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay ticking off our bucket list item.
Our stay in Primrose Cottage mail was just superb. David and Denise are wonderful hosts. The room was compact but comfortable and every need is catered for. Special little touches are added to make one feel special and at home. Denise catered for breakfast and makes the best scrambled eggs. We enjoyed our short stay and will definitely recommend the venue.
Denise and Dave were very hospitable, and assisting with advice and reservations. Primrose Cottage is comfortable and breakfasts were delicious. Best coffee in town. We had a great stay and will definitely go back.
Our host and hostess were interested and full of advice on the town and the environment. Our rooms were cosy and she even put on the electric blankets so a nice warm bed awaited us after the cold star gazing evening. We also got a delicious hot breakfast.
Fantastic hospitality and would recommend anyone to stay there on your visit to Sutherland.
I had an absolutely lovely stay. The hosts were very knowledgeable on the surrounding area, restaurants and things to do in town. I highly recommend this B&B.
We had a wonderful time. Super friendly people. We felt at home immediately!
Friendly host. Tidy. Warm welcome. Will visit there again.
Host was very welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable on the entire town.
The house itself was very interesting. Despite a smallish room, it was not cramped and space was used well. Denise helped us with all our queries and made recommendations. We had a great stay and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Friendly owners, clean and tidy, delicious breakfast, and they provide good information on everything to see in the area, stayed nice and slept peacefully, thank you very much.
The owners are the biggest positive aspect of the stay.
Very friendly and interested reception. Room was very neat. Hostess made an effort to ensure that stay was pleasant. Safe parking of car is appreciated. However, the bathroom facilities are disappointing: The pressure in the shower is very weak, there is no hot water available at the sink and the toilet in the cupboard is not very practical.
Room for improvement, no running hot water at hand sink.
We were warmly received, arranged for a reservation at the restaurant for dinner. The best breakfast! Friendly couple.
Denise and David were very welcoming and helpful, booking a restaurant and a Sterland visit for us. They even managed to get my shoes back to me after I left them in the room!
Very tidy, friendly hosts who make a lot of effort.
The hostess (Denise) and host (David) went out of their way to make the weekend a special experience for us. Even late at night they came to find out if we were still happy or if we needed anything. The peaceful atmosphere in the house and the peaceful background music that played made the stay very special. The breakfast offered was very tasty and refreshing. Denise and David marketed Sutherland very well, introduced places to visit and even organized our visit to SALT. Thank you for a lovely weekend.
Can definitely be recommended. Peaceful and safe stay!
Denise took great care of us. She's very friendly and provided us with a lot of info on what to do in the area.
Danise and her husband, David, were wonderful. I would recommend their place to anyone! Had a warm welcome and stayed very nice and warm. The snow the next morning was a very big surprise!
Very friendly hosts, clean amenities, comfortable rooms and safe off-street parking. The breakfast was superb. Will definitely stay again.
Cosy well equipped bedroom. We slept well even though it was snowing outside. Delicious breakfast served by friendly hosts.
Friendly welcome and made to feel truly at home by owners. Will stay there again.
The wonderful couple who run it are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and wonderfully cozy, especially in winter. They served me a delicious breakfast and made changes because I am allergic to gluten. What a feast!
The guesthouse was very cosy and neat. Owners are wonderful, hospitable people. Very nice stay.
Denice is a fantastic hostess, she goes the extra mile, made our reservation at a local restaurant. House is clean, enough space, and comfortable rooms.
After our stay at the bus house didn't work out, the aunt and uncle took a very good look at us! Delicious full breakfast with the best coffee, slept very well and had a nice stay.
We had such a wonderful weekend in Sutherland, thanks to Denise and David at Primrose Cottage. They welcomed us warmly into their home, even though we only arrived late into the night. A cosy room awaited us, with a warm bed (electric blankets had been turned on) and a cup of tea! Denise booked supper for us the next evening at Cluster, where we had the most amazing sheep shank. It was divine after being outside in the cold looking at the stars! Denise and David had super delicious breakfasts prepared for us each morning and were always such good company! Thank you Denise and David for making us feel so at home and treating us to the Sutherland experience.
Our room was cosy and warm when we arrived. Denise and Dave were awesome, friendly and super helpful with ideas of what to do and even made some bookings for us which was super great and unexpected. Breakfast was yummy each time with a nice variety.
I can't think of any critique to balance the positivity in this review. I usually try to keep it mute, but this couple is outstanding.
On arrival, our room was nice and tidy and nice and warm, already ready for us. There was everything and more you could think of to make the stay comfortable. We even received an extra cremation on the bedside table. After a good night's rest in -3ºC, we were nice and cozy with the panel heaters and the electric blanket. We didn't even realize that it had started to snow. After a delicious English breakfast (felt like a three-course meal), we started the road back to Cape in the snow. Will definitely stay at Primrose Cottage again.
The stay in Primrose Cottage was wonderful. The toilet hidden in the closet was quite a surprise. The hostess really thought of everything. She booked a place in advance on the tour to SALT and also for stargazing. If it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have found a place. She took care of a lovely warm bed and hot water for the sink. We can recommend the place with confidence.
We were pleasantly surprised with the friendly community. Our hosts are excellent and it was lovely to meet them. They provided us with excellent advice regarding the surroundings and the roads to Carnavon. The breakfast was the best.
Our stay was wonderful with the friendliest hosts. The cottage was extremely neat and the breakfasts simply delicious. We were spoiled every evening to a warm bed as Denise switched our warm blankets on early in the evening. The bathroom has a heater which helped a lot for the cold and being from Cape Town with the strict water restrictions, I loved having a hot water bath. If anybody complain about this B&B they are simply just full of nonsense as it is worth every cent.
Exceptional value for money, clean and tidy room. The rooms had a heater, electric blanket and a fan. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic. This is by far the best guest house I have stayed.
Lovely home from home accommodation. Very friendly and helpful owners who live on the premises. Right in Sutherland and very easy to find.
Dave and Denise are very hospitable, helpful and pleasant people.
Warmly welcomed by our hostess. We were informed about restaurants and the Observatory. The hostess also made a reservation for us at a restaurant. The room is neat and neatly finished.
Excellent B&B. The owners, Denise and Dave, went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. We had a warm and friendly reception from Denise and she made us feel at home. Our room was perfect, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were super nice, fresh fruit, eggs to perfection and great coffee. She did our booking for us at Salt, are very knowledgeable about the area and advised us on the restaurants and scenic drives to do. Denise and Dave's hosting should be an example to other B&B hosts.
It felt like you were at home!
Very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely. The hosts hospitality excellent.
We were kindly received, our beds already had the electric blankets to fight the cold. There was also some sherry for the inner heat. Parking was plentiful and safe. We were well trained to make our observatory experience breathtaking. Our spot for dinner was booked and we could just turn up and enjoy. Primrose Cottage really made our time in Sutherland unforgettable.
Good value for money. Owners friendly.
Denise and David were great hosts. Wonderful breakfast. They insisted we use their garage for our two bikes. Recommended Cluster d’ Hote for dinner which was outstanding and we ate there both nights. Primrose’s en suite room was disappointing. The shower was fine but the toilet in a closet and the small basin in a corner with only a cold tap was not expected. The beds had heated blankets and plenty of bedding. Unfortunately both bedrooms were freezing and the panel heaters were ineffective against the Sutherland winter/snow temperatures. A small fan heater in each bedroom would have made a big difference to our comfort.
Our hosts were very pleasant and the room neat and comfortable. The hosts have extensive knowledge about Sutherland and the surrounding areas and directed us to the cutest places to eat and attractions. Can definitely recommend Primrose Cottage!
Slept well and very friendly host and lady! Breakfast was tasty and well served. Only the bathroom facilities, although very neat and clean, are very impractical and not up to standard.
Owners delightful but the property is not up to the asking price. It is better located in Sutherland.
Denise and David were great. We really enjoyed our short stay in their house and will definitely be back. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious!
Peace and quiet in the middle of nowhere.
Thoroughly enjoyable stay.
Denise was a wonderful hostess with great advice for dining out, things to do, etc. Room comfortable with lovely electric blankets.
Had a great time during my stay in Sutherland at Primrose cottage. Breakfast was very tasty and delicious every day. Very friendly welcome with many recommendations on things to do. Will return for sure.
We received a friendly welcome on arrival. Advice about the weather, stargazing and recommended places for dinner. Refreshments offered, a warm comfortable night and served a delicious tasty breakfast the following morning.
You immediately feel at home with Denise and Dave. Location of guesthouse is excellent. Lovely accommodation with nice finishes - even a welcome sherry.
Denise was warm, friendly and she is pasionate about customer service. Delicious breakfast, will definitely recommend this accommodation.
My husband and I were made to feel at home. On arrival we were met by the very friendly owner who made us a cup of tea and gave us all the info on Sutherland. The room was neat and clean and in the morning we were treated to a very good breakfast. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay at Primrose again if in the area.
I would recommend Primrose Cottage with ease. Even with his sick body, Jurg at Sterland was passionate about sharing his astronomy with us. Dress very warmly for it.
The hostess spoiled us with her hospitality. The breakfast was delicious. The rooms are very neat with a lovely sherry in the room.
Warm beds with down duvets and Broderie Anglaise covers, tasteful breakfast, friendly service.
The owners are very friendly people. We really enjoyed the accommodation and will stay at Primrose Cottage again any time. The service was excellent and the people friendly.
Denise, our hostess and her husband, Dave received us kindly. We wanted to have a barbecue and they were very accommodating and offered us everything we could possibly need despite the fact that it is a bed and breakfast accommodation. Denise often offered us tea or coffee.
Ultra helpful hosts, nice room and good breakfast.
The toilet in the closet in one bedroom is a little strange.
Super clean room with a delicious breakfast. While we went stargazing, Denise switched on our electric blankets so that we could sleep warm and well when we returned. Talk about personal attention!
The shower in our room was incredibly small and the water pressure low, but luckily the towels were brilliant white, soft and clean. There were also some lovely Woolworths shower products.
Our warm reception was an indication of the friendly hosts, who made our short stay in Sutherland such a pleasure. Thanks Denise and David for a memorable weekend in the warmest town in SA.
Warm reception. Neat room and bathroom. Owner put in a lot of effort to get us a reservation at an excellent restaurant, also at sterkyker, which was an awesome experience.
Lovely hosts, very pleasant accommodation, great location in Sutherland. Would return and would highly recommend it to others.
Friendly owners that also know the area and give good suggestions on what to do or help with reservations at SALT.
Welcome was excellent. Denise immediately made us feel at home. The room was neat and very clean. There is a friendly atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent. Would highly recommend Primrose Cottage.
Our stay was wonderful, and the dinner bookings were a pleasant surprise. Will visit again!
The room does not have running hot water and the toilet is in the closet.
Friendly helpful service.
Good, neat overnight spot.
Facilities is good and clean, but it is not a five star hotel. Hospitality and food is great.
