8 guests' feedbackQuiet, stylish and blissful. The farmhouse is beautiful. White curtains and linen. Stone walls, plants from the area, beautiful crockery. The bath with borehole water and scented bath salts is indescribable. Braai area and garden are equipped and comfortable.
See stars.
Heaven on earth! Absolutely beautiful location and loved the rustic farmhouse but with luxury in all the right places! Beautiful linen and bed! Stunning bath with beautiful salts! We had a wonderful time cooking and taking the dogs on the most beautiful walks.
We enjoyed our time at Saffier River Cottage Farmstay. The hospitality of the host and wife made us feel at ease and they went out of their way to make the visit pleasant for us. Feel free to follow their recommendations and go with a bakkie. The house is fully equipped with everything needed.
Nice farmhouse and atmosphere. House is well furnished. Great for walking and it's pet friendly. Curtain between family room and bathroom will help a lot.
We were led to our cottage by the farmers 3 children, all on their quad bikes, so sweet. We had comfortable beds and wonderful peaceful view when we had breakfast outside. I would recommend a long stay.
We very much enjoyed the remote location - no one else around as far as one could see. Vast landscape, walks with our 2 jackies along the farm tracks, and the darkness at night. The sandstone cottage was saved from ruin by the owners, it’s old and rickety yet very comfortable, clean, has everything you need, and put together with fun and great care. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place to go!
Cora was so helpful! Wish we could have stayed longer!
