"Fantastic. Tidy. Plenty of space and enough sleeping space for large groups."

Absolutely fantastic. Will definitely go again. Christine goes out of her way for her guests. Lovely houses. Nice lapa for braai and visiting.

"Lovely, peaceful, safe."

Beautiful cottage in a peaceful setting. Two girlfriends who each had their own room with full ensuite, with lovely large showers and lovely bathrooms. Christine put in so much effort. Foaming soap for the bathrooms, lots of extra towels for the outdoor wooden bath, delicious bottle of red wine and olives for our arrival. Plenty of wood and blitz to keep all the fires burning. We will definitely book again!

"Weekend away with girlfriends."

We always have such a good time here! The hostess is great. We would love to go back again!

"We had a great time. The cottage is perfect and has everything you need and more!"

Perfect place for a weekend away to be peaceful. The cottage is perfect and has everything you need and more! It has an alarm and is fenced, which makes one feel very safe. And the fact that it was fenced in, our little one could safely play "inside". With solar lights outside and rechargeable lights inside, load shedding didn't bother us at all. The indoor barbecue was nice for a cold evening! We will be back again soon!

"Wonderful honeymoon."

It was perfect. All the effort that has gone into the place is fantastic and the hostess is always on hand.

"Absolutely awesome."

Everyone and everything was fantastic. Christine was a fabulous host. Highly recommended stay.

"Wonderful visit and wonderful service."

Really enjoyed the time at Nuwejaarsrivier, especially the hot tub and kayaking.

"Net wow!"

When we arrived we were just speechless at how beautiful it was there. Christine was just the best and made sure we had everything we needed and that we had a great stay. Will definitely stay there again, but a weekend is just too little.

"Farm cottage."

Christine and Eddy were very friendly and welcoming, as were their doggies. We enjoyed the spacious cottage, the hot tub, the braai, sitting on the comfortable chairs on the patio and the good location, close to all the Botrivier attractions and wine farms.

"Cuddly winter wanderer."

A very nice house on a farm between Kleinmond and Hermanus with a nice play area for children and a jacuzzi for the cold winter. Also indoor and outdoor grills that keep you warm all the time. Friendly people who are very helpful. Will go here again to relax.

"Well presented, quiet and relaxed."

The friendly and helpful host, Christine, was like a friend. We fell in love with the dog George. A glass of wine and the hot tub, what more could you want. Many, many thanks to Ian and Julie.

"It was absolutely stunning. Just as the location " Hemel op Aarde"."

It was just what you need to get a break from city life. No cars - no sirens. The attention to detail was phenomenal. The tub was hot upon our arrival and ready for us to enjoy. Wood was provided from blitz to matches. Daily walks on the farm were peaceful and serene. Absolute gem of a place.

"Accommodation and facilities were excellent."

Can recommend this place - definitely one of our favourites! Christine was very friendly and helpful. The farm is beautiful, the Kol-Kol pool was clean and already heated when we got there. The hostess left us delicious wine and Lindt chocolates in the kitchen as a welcome gift. Will definitely book with them again.

"Very enjoyable."

Kol Kol hot tub was amazing. The unlimited supply of wood was great too.

"Exquisite accommodation, private and incredibly friendly service without intruding."

Hot tub was hot on arrival, plenty of wood and fire lighters, fully equipped, chocolate and wine, exquisite decor!

"Totally wonderful."

Our stay was wonderful, every minute, the owners are great and welcoming. The cottage very neat and pretty, the place has everything, the set up, the atmosphere, you can't help but relax, and the hot tub was a huge bonus, definitely would love to go back. Will recommend this place to anyone. Keep up the great service, 5 out of 5.

"Delicious treat."

A wonderful visit where the hostess goes above and beyond to provide the finest details (ranging from essentials to pure pampering). Cleanest grill, bag of ice in fridge, plenty of wood, hot tub right temperature on arrival to be able to get in right away, bottle of local wine, Lindt chocolate, bubblebath, lamps for power outages, great bedding, plenty of towels so you don't have to feel left out with a not wet ones, can visit until Sunday and make the weekend extra long and handy list of things to do and restaurants with contact details etc.

"I have no words. Except Thank you Christine fantastic place. Did not want to leave. "

View lovely, hot tub worked overtime. Cottage had everything we needed including wine and chocolate. Christine is awesome.

"Unforgettable stay on a beautiful farm."

The size of the cottage definitely exceeded my expectations, a spacious shower and bath for both bedrooms and a huge king size bed! Christine goes beyond in making you feel welcome, on arrival we received a bottle red wine and some chocolates and Christine was warming up the wood-fired hot tub. She considered the small things which I loved and we will definitely be visiting again soon!

"Relaxing, peaceful stay."

A wonderful place to relax. We enjoyed the wood-fired hot tub, the incredibly comfortable beds and the spacious, furnished patio. Lots of room to play and explore, and Christine was an exceptional host, always available to help with queries.

"Sielsverfrissing in 'n luxury cottage!"

Luxury verblyf en bederf in 'n cottage met 'n pragtige uitsig, baie privaatheid en veral die groot woodfired hot tub! Ek kon my vrou nie uit die hot tub uit kry nie. Cottage met hoë kwaliteit toerusting uitgerus, tamaai groot stort en bad vir 'n koning alles twee-twee. Ja 2 vol toegeruste badkamers en 2 luxury slaapkamers met king beddens. Baie skoon en netjies, jy kon van die vloer af eet. Hulle voorsien letterlik alles wat jy benodig vir selfsorg verblyf. Lekker verwelkomingspakkie met wyn en sjokolade seleksie om die wittebroodspaar te verwelkom, het alles maar net extra spesiaal gemaak. O ja en hulle gee jou vragte hout om te braai en om die hot tub mee te stook, jy hoef nie kort-kort te ry en bondeltjies hou self te gaan koop nie. 200% aanbeveelbaar vir enigeen wat wil wegkom, ontspan en die natuur geniet in 'n stunning privaat plaas-cottage. Gratis WiFi vir die wat nie die fone en laptops by die huis kan los nie. Gasvrou Christine altyd byderhand vir enige navrae, sonder om te helikopter.

"Breathtaking!"

The location is absolutely beautiful and everything is fantastically well furnished with everything you need.

"Great relaxing atmosphere."

We were able to relax in the cottage. Everything that was needed was provided and the cottage is tidy yet cosy. The large hot tub is great fun for the whole family.

"Wonderfully relaxing stay."

Christine really thought of everything when stocking the cottage and was a thoughtful and attentive host. We miss the hot tub already!

"Very quiet, ideally located, ideal break and "recharge""

Very quiet, ideally located, ideal break and "recharge"

"This was very relaxing and enjoyable, not a bad thing to say!"

This was such an enjoyable stay, friendly host and private cottage, would go back anytime, absolutely loved it, beautiful!

"Lovely, peaceful time with my husband. Even stage 4 load shedding and false alarm in the early hours of the morning did not worsen our experience."

The cottage is excellently planned and we had everything we could need. Our hostess, Christine, was very good with communication before and during our visit and made sure we had everything we needed, especially when phase 4 load shedding started. We will definitely want to visit again.

"Nice private and comfortable."

We went to stay on New Year's River for a getaway weekend in early November. It was a windy weekend, but the place is built so that the visiting areas are nicely sheltered. The braai place, hot tub and other facilities are top notch. Christine received us warmly and immediately made us feel at home. A gem of a place. We will do so again, for sure.

"Very neat, clean, well equipped, value for money and wonderful farm environment."

Had been a very good decision to spend the night there. The bath was refreshing, unique and lovely therapy. Will definitely use The Cottage again in the future.

"Very nice stay, will definitely go again."

Good service, neat place.

"Christine is a gem!"

Great value for money and Christine went out of her way to accommodate and spoil us - the Jacuzzi was heated upon arrival and heated again to be warm after our wine tasting!

"Quiet and peaceful, perfect getaway!"

We were very hospitable and received wine, ice cream, milk, chocolate and lots of wood. The hot tub was fantastic and the tranquility was perfect. Thanks Christine and Eddie!

"Luxury accommodation with a farm feel. A gem!"

The Cottage at Nuwejaarsrivier Farm is just a stone's throw from the shops and beaches in Onrus and Hermanus, the wine farms of the Hemel-en-Aarde valley but has the peaceful feel of a farm. Good finishing, luxury fittings and attention to detail give the cottage a homely feel. The attention and care of an excellent hostess adds to the pleasure of staying there.

"Fantastic stay, can not wait to go back! "

We had the most wonderful cosy stay at the farm. Christine is fantastic, and the view and setting food for the soul. Everything was super comfortable, and the hot tub very relaxing, can't wait to go back. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

"Picture beautiful and the house is very well equipped."

The owner communicated very well with us, the hot tub was warm and plenty of wood was provided. We will go back again and again to relax at the beautiful place.

"It was exceptionally nice."

The location of Nuwejaarsrivier Farm is nice and away from the busy city. Christine and Eddie were very nice and we will definitely contact them again in the future.

"A weekend for the books!"

Our weekend at The Cottage at Nuwejaarsrivier Farm was very enjoyable. The Jacuzzi was a winner and there is nothing better than a hot Jacuzzi after the day's activities. Christine was very friendly and made us feel right at home. We would have liked to stay longer and Christine-they will see us again for sure.

"Absolutely fantastic!"

Christine is a wonderful hostess and really went out of her way for us during our stay with her. The stay was perfect in every way, we couldn't have asked for better. I will definitely go home to Nuwejaarsrivier again!

"It was an incredibly nice relaxing weekend."

It was the most beautiful, cleanest and quietest place we have ever stayed. Christine really put in a lot of effort and we will definitely go back again. The Boer Jacuzzi and kayak were really highlights of our weekend. Thank you very, very much.

"Perfect. The hospitality of the owner is far above the norm."

Hospitality is unbeatable. The accommodation is very well equipped. Very good quality finish, linen and equipment. Braai wood is provided and the hot tub is special.

"Nice farm stay!"

Neat and well equipped! Quiet farm stay, but also close to everything. The hot tub and cozy patio are a bonus.

"Wonderful experience, peaceful environment, great host."

We enjoyed a very relaxing 2 day stay in this peaceful part of the world. Christine was super efficient from the booking stage right up until arrival and departure. A heated plunge pool was awaiting us on arrival which we enjoyed very much. The location is very well located to explore the surrounding areas. In hindsight, we should have stayed longer.

"It's very private, so it's fine if you want to be romantic."

It's a very nice place to rest. I was able to get a lot of sleep. Because it's so quiet and peaceful. Hubby and I could also be nice and romantic. It's nice and private. It's the right place if you want to get away from it all. And the owners are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. I would go again anytime and recommend everyone I know.

"Beautiful and neat cottage in the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde valley."

We can highly recommend The Cottage at Nuwejaarsrivier. Christine was very friendly and helpful and responded quickly to queries. She made a special effort to heat the hot tub for us so that we could just get in after our wine tasting in the valley. The hot tub is a winner! The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a weekend getaway. Everything tasteful, clean and tidy. The freshly picked sweet corn that Christine's husband brought us to grill was the best ever!

"Great getaway."

The Cottage at Nuwejaarsrivier Farm has a fitted kitchen with everything you need. Access to the accommodation was very easy and effortless. Christine received us very warmly. We will definitely be going back again soon and would recommend it to anyone.

"A lovely spot from which to explore Hermanus, Benguela Cove and surrounds."

The cottage is beautifully appointed with a luxurious bath and shower in each room's en-suite, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen (including coffee plunger and filter coffee), toasty fireplace for the cold nights and a lovely stoep from which to survey the mountains in the distance. Thank you to Christine and the rest of her family at Nuwejaarsrivier for the warm welcome!
