The house was absolutely gorgeous, straight out of a magazine. It felt so luxurious. We had everything we needed and more! It was so beautiful and peaceful on the farm and it really felt like a home away from home. The owners, Marthalie and Neels, were so kind and hospitable. They were always available when needed and treated us like family!

This cottage, styled with South African charm, offers all the comforts for a pleasant holiday. Our host, Braam, graciously showed us around on arrival and made us feel like we were visiting a friend. The rooms were adorned with fresh flowers and tasteful décor, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. In addition to the usual appliances, I vividly remember a diverse selection of spices, tea, coffee, and lovely pottery. Both bedrooms were comfortable and complemented the cozy atmosphere. Outside, there's a veranda and an additional braai area that we used. Firewood was readily available, and we safely parked our two cars in the garage. It was a delightful experience, and we will certainly consider returning at some time in the future.

Perter & Bibi's place is quite unique. It is quite spacious and is surrounded by a very attractive garden on the hillside in front of the cottage. The whole front of the cottage has essentially sliding doors making the garden area sort of part of the house. The big plus with this place is that it is off the grid. Just solar and gas. Thus no worries about loadshedding and losing your power and Wifi. This is a great place to chill out. Definitely a place to return to. Thank you Peter!

    The seclusion, privacy and hot tub was a win with us. Although small, the cabin is beautifully designed and decorated. It suited our needs perfectly for two nights. The attention to detail and layout is splendid. We were able to purchase fire wood, fire lighters, honey and eggs at short notice and these were delivered to our door. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

The "Carol Suite" is cosy and beautifully furnished with a modern kitchen, a nice large fireplace, and fantastic views from the balcony. The four poster bed is very comfortable and the electric blanket was wonderful on a winter's night. All in all, a fantastic experience and I simply can not wait to go back again!
