Good accommodation, very private.
Beautiful garden, cosy cottage, friendly host that accommodated our special request. Absolutely fabulous!
The unit was perfect for our needs. Wonderfully private. We had a wonderful stay. Will definitely stop by again when we are in the area.
Nora goes to great lengths to make her guests feel at home. All the extras are appreciated.
Very nice, the cottage is clean, everything we needed was there, very clean, safe parking.
Raka Cottage is highly recommended! Safe, comfortable with everything you need. Beautiful hostess who focuses on making sure her guests are comfortable. Every day's extra treats in the form of fresh fruit, yogurt, water, juice were really a surprise. Very nicely decorated place in the forest! Very quiet with no power outages.
We had a great stay and would stay there again anytime.
We didn't spend much time at the cottage as we were out sightseeing in the day. We would have liked to have spent a day in the beautiful garden relaxing. The cottage was equipped with everything that was required. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The host and her husband were fantastic and very helpful.
Stairs to the cottage a little bit difficult.
Excellent value for money. Beautiful hostess and great service.
The most beautiful place we have ever stayed. The steps through the garden are like a walk through a piece of rainforest in the mountains. The unit is very stylish and tidy and has everything you need. Very neat area and yet close to everything. We would love to stay here again anytime. Nora and Dries, thank you for your hospitality.
Completely private, set in a beautiful garden. Hostess spared no effort to provide assistance. The finest detail has been thought of with love to make us as guests feel at home.
Raka Cottage met all our expectations and more. Even though there are quite a few steps up to the Cottage, it was thoroughly worth it. The friendly owners were "hands on" all the time and helped and provided us with extra necessities. Garden is incredibly beautiful and we enjoyed sitting there and grilling a little meat. Will recommend them for sure.
Perfect location, friendly service and private.
Nice coffee, biscuits, fruit juice and yogurt every day. It was a special surprise every day. Hostess was friendly and helpful. Even put out towels for us by the pool. Definitely recommend
An excellent place to stay if you want to explore the Lowveld a bit! A very private, neat and well-equipped cottage in a typical Lowveld garden among the rocks and large trees. Fresh fruit and flowers immediately make you feel at home and welcome.
Raka Cottage is excellent accommodation. The cottage is very stylish with very good linen and all the necessary amenities. Norah was very friendly and supportive and it was a pleasure to have her as a hostess. I can recommend Raka Cottage with confidence.
Dries and Norah are excellent hosts. We had a lovely stay and all the extra little things made it a lovely place to stay. Very neat and clean with safe parking.
We had a lovely stay at Raka Cottage. The cottage has everything you need, including a hairdryer. She provides coffee/tea, biscuits, fruit, muesli and yogurt for breakfast. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering.
Hidden gem, if I may call it that! Incredible place. Thank you very much!
Beautiful place, very clean and neat. Thank you for unusual hospitality and treats. Will definitely stay there again.
See stars.
From arrival to departure owner was always available. Beautiful and fully equipped for 2 people. Very safe.
Highly recommend staying at Raka Cottage, from the minute we arrived we were treated like royalty. The cottage was nice and clean and surrounded by all the trees really had a most relaxing atmosphere. Fresh fruit daily and a muesli and yogurt breakfast with a juice. Norah was a real help when we needed to find specific shops and every time we returned to a little chocolate on our pillows. Norah we will definitely be seeing you again.
Arrangements went smoothly, very professional. My spouse and I enjoyed Raka Cottage very much, it's clean, neat, safe and private. Would definitely recommend it, of the highest quality.
Was very impressed with the cottage. Loveable owners. Helpful, friendly, ag they're like family! Will always book at the lodge in the future.
