68 guests' feedbackWe enjoyed our overnight stay at The Cottage. It's safe with secure parking and a beautiful garden for our dogs. A friendly and helpful hostess. Highly recommended.
The Cottage is spacious accommodation with everything needed for self-catering. Lots of space to relax.
Lovely big cottage with super kitted out kitchen, good hot shower.
The unit had everything we needed, plus a lot of extra's. The short, untarred, suburban road is a little tricky to navigate due to all of the rains.
We had a very pleasant overnight stop while travelling between CPT and KZN. Hosts were very helpful and we would love to come back in future for a longer visit.
Spacious and value for money.
Very comfortable facility with most amenities one needs for a stay. Parking is a bit tricky, particularly if you are towing. Elske was a very helpful host.
Elske was a very helpful hostess but still allowed privacy. The Cottage is beautifully fitted and the main bed very comfortable.
It is terribly spacious.
My only criticism is that on the day of our arrival it was pouring with rain. A covered walkway over the stairs down to the cottage would be great. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. The hostess was very friendly.
Lovely guest house and owners. Thank you!
Everything was clean and tidy.
Everything we needed was supplied. Beautiful gardens. Warm, comfortable sleep.
Elske and Hans were welcoming and helpfulness itself, even to the extent of supplying braai wood, charcoal and firelighters. Their four happy dogs are equally welcoming, so it's a real homely feel! The unit is well-equipped for self-catering. The lower unit (which we occupied) is approached by a flight of stairs which can be a little challenging when lugging suitcases etc. The garden is beautiful and peaceful, but a clean table on the stoep when braaiing would have been appreciated.
See stars.
Stayed one night. Was very well equipped with nice outdoor barbecue. We were immediately comfortable. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend anytime.
Good size unit for a family to spend time in. Children could play in the garden.
This was a neat, well appointed cottage and the host, Elske, was friendly and helpful.
Beautiful village with very friendly people. Condition of the dirt road leaves much to be desired after the rain in the area. More signposting will help to find The Cottage more easily.
Lovely, tranquil setting overlooking the garden. Clean and comfortable. Super hostess.
I stayed at The Cottage on my way to PE from the KZN Midlands.
Pretty self-catering cottage in a lovely garden. Full DStv, helpful hosts supplied a fan and bottled water at my request and directed me onwards on lovely roads. Safe location and parking. Thankful.
We had a very relaxed and comfortable stay in the spacious accommodation. Very well appointed and welcoming owner and dogs.
Neat and friendly reception, beautiful area.
The Cottage is very neat accommodation with everything one needs. Our room overlooked a garden, with a deck and barbeque practically in the branches of a tree. Our hostess was very helpful with advice on where to eat in town. We recommend The Cottage to any traveler to Maclear!
Comfortable self-catering apartment. Friendly and helpful hostess and host.
The Cottage is very well appointed and neat. Lovely covered braai with braai wood. Owner very helpful. Would recommend The Cottage to anyone wanting to stay in Maclear.
Accommodation at The Cottage was value for money.
We were very comfortable, though it was a bit chilly, but that has been rectified. A really nice stopover.
Comfortable and clean. Recommended.
We were met by the owner, Elske Britz, who was kind and very helpful, and we introduced our dogs to each other; they got on well. She showed us the cottage, and said if there was anything we needed, we had only to ask, then left us to our privacy. The Cottage was very well equipped, the shower worked well, and the bed was cosy. We had the use of a lovely braai area on the deck, which we didn't use, as it was rather cold out at night. All in all, a lovely choice of self-catering places to stay in Maclear.
We had a wonderful overnight stay at The Cottage. We were kindly received and the apartments were beautiful, neat and very comfortably furnished. Can highly recommend it!
Friendly hostess and had a lovely overnight.
For self-catering accommodation it was fine.
Upon our arrival, we have to ring the phone for a while, before the hostess answered. She "apologized" that the place was not quite right and the mattress was not up to standard and she did offer to provide a better mattress. We couldn't sleep because of mosquitoes - no mesh in front of the windows or doors. It was hot and stuffy in the apartment, but we couldn't open the windows because of mosquitoes. There was mosquito spray provided, but my grandchild cannot use it. There was a standing fan provided in one bedroom, but since it makes a lot of "noise", we couldn't use it either. The small bed's bedding was not clean, the pillows were flat and there was no sheet on the bed. Upon our arrival, the host's large dog ran into the accommodation and jumped on my 2 year old grandchild and scratched her in the face. The parking area is very steep and not suitable for cars that are low.
Lovely accommodation. Elske gave us a warm welcome and made us feel at home. The place is neat and clean and well-equipped. Will definitely stay there again.
A peaceful cottage on the quiet side of Maclear where you can unwind and rest. Would stay here again when passing through.
It was a pleasure staying here. Neat and clean. Nice and spacious with a lovely shower. Kind and friendly hostess.
Private with enough amenities. Was just too cold at the time of stay (overnight) to braai.
We were extremely surprised with the beautiful apartment and view, Elske, the host, was helpful and friendly and even brought us biscuits. We regret we only stayed overnight and couldn't stay longer, because it is a very comfortable apartment with a beautiful view from the balcony. It was the middle of winter but we were snuggled up with extra blankets and a lovely hot shower to chase away the cold. I recommend The Cottage to anyone wanting to visit Maclear.
Cozy and comfortable.
Very clean and tidy, especially the bathroom. Wood by the fireplace, milk in the fridge and biscuits for morning coffee was a pleasant surprise. Will definitely stay there again.
Place is very neat and clean and people are very friendly. Got very good service there.
Well worth the visit to this beautiful town, The Cottage is a well run and maintained spot with a great big garden.
Accommodation was very neat and I a beautiful setting. Host is friendly and helpful. Would book again. Only drawback is that the wooden floors in the top unit creak too loudly. Also gap on the bottom of the front door needs to be fixed and bugs and insects kept coming in. Otherwise beautiful.
We were pleasantly surprised by the high standard of the rooms, all one could ask for in a self-catering unit!
We only stayed over after a wedding but the place was fully equipped with a kitchen and DStv. Very cute and very friendly service.
We were delighted with the warm welcome. All the facilities were good with lots of space!
Our reception was friendly. The cottage was tidy and clean and we were very happy with the stop over. We can definitely recommend The Cottage.
We were received very warmly. The beautiful labradors made our golden retriever feel welcome. The accommodation was comfortable and clean. We would like to stay a night or so longer in the future to explore the peaceful surroundings.
Very nice place to spend the night and to experience the village.
Apart from the fact that the sound-proofing is not so great (we had been warned) the stay was very pleasant.
Enjoyed our stay. Braai facilities very nice to uses especially because we knew about it beforehand.
Will definitely be back - thank you Elska!
Clean, well equipped, pleasant, warm and safe accommodation we would recommend. The braai facility on the deck with wood, fire lighters and matches impressed us.
Clean an neat with all the facilities we needed. The host lady was so friendly. I recommend Alpine Bistro for a delicious breakfast.
We had a great stay, and will definitely stay at The Cottage again if we are in the area. We couldn't find anything wrong. The only problem was our GPS which struggled to get us to The Cottage (both Garmin and Google Maps). The GPS coordinates along with the details of The Cottage, for future visitors will make the whole experience that much more enjoyable.
Met all expectations with reference to internet description, price and for a short stay. Hostess very friendly and helpful.
The unit was clean, neat, fully-equipped with everything we needed. The owners were friendly and helpful. The Labradors were just as friendly!
Elske, the host, was so kind and thoughtful, and so friendly she waited for us when we wanted to pay! The delicious rusks in the kitchen was such a treat with the coffee. I defnitely recommend The Cottage!
Comfortable cottage with lovely deck and braai facilities and wood included. Friendly host.
We only stayed overnight on the way to Mooirivier, but Elske went to a lot of trouble to ensure we had everything we needed and more. It was clean and neat and lovely and peaceful with a view from the balcony over the garden full of trees, and there are braai facilities on the balcony.
Elske received us very kindly and made a lot of effort for us. The accommodation is clean and modern with a lovely veranda overlooking the garden and beautiful barbecue. Absolutely everything needed is provided here. Definitely recommend.
Everything you might need with a comfy braai area on the patio. Clearer directions (no street names) would be helpful!
Arrived exhausted from an over-long trip to a warm welcome, hot shower and comfy bed. Beautifully crafted kitchen and bathroom. Enjoyed the tin of rusks with our morning coffee. Sitting room led onto private veranda and piece (peace) of the garden. Lovely.
The place is newly redone and it is very well done. Everything needed for a sleepover was there, even a heater and nice blanket to sit under in front of the TV! All I would like to see in addition are separate switches for the two bedside lamps.
It is spacious, comfortable and luxurious with every available facility. The owners are terrific people. We loved the stay and would definitely stay there on a return visit.
The Cottage is very spacious, clean, tidy and well equipped. Very pleasant place to stay.
