    Invertor is great, except it's location is poor as it is noisy in the early mornings. A minor thing though.

    Beautiful location. Easy access. Great for walks and I assume mountain biking. Well equipped unit.

    This place is amazing. A pitty we only stayed one night. We got "lost" on our way there, Judy and Rob found us and we followed them to their paradise. They even towed our heavy caravan to the top (as the hill is steep and it was raining), as we got a 4x2 and they offered to do it with their 4x4.

    Cold water was turned off due to plumbing issue - affected bathroom sinks, not showers. Obviously, it's not as bad as if it were the hot water. Small issue - Kitchen sponge provided was very old and used. Would be better to receive a new one. We had our own Two pin plug adapter - but it would be great to have one available.

    Clean, spacious modern rooms, both en suite with large showers and each room has ceiling fan as well as lounge. Fyi Property is on a long gravel road (curry's post road).

    Nothing to dislike. Everything was amazing, especially for animal lovers.

    Location was peaceful and beautiful. Ideally situated to be close to all attractions, yet far enough away from everything to not be disturbed by the sound of vehicles or other “busy noises”. Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful (even helping us jump a dead car-battery). We loved the friendly dogs and cat that came to visit everyday. Property was clean, neat and beautiful. A short walk allows you to visit a small river running past the property, which makes for a lovely outing and photos. Property was well stocked with all the essentials.

    Everything was perfect.

    My family and I were really impressed with the property. The place was neat, cozy and comfortable and even catered for loadshedding with an inverter. It’s location was convenient for us because we didn’t have to travel too far out to restaurants or Michaelhouse. The owner, Judy was absolutely fantastic and was so friendly and accommodating. We will certainly be back!

    really there is nothing not to like. a suggestion though if I can, is to perhaps have a dishwasher installed in the kitchen. and not to sure why there were so many flies. maybe to add some citronella candles or fly traps.

    very clean and spacious and has great bathrooms and a lovely open plan feel with two private bedrooms and bathrooms and lovely patio area. quiet peaceful lovely view and a nearby stream and pathway to take walks. the owners dogs are friendly and add a lovely feel to the property.

    Excellent accommodation all round. Judy is a fabulous host and they've thought of everything to make your stay a comfortable and relaxing one. From the fireplace in the lounge to the Weber to braai on the patio. There's even a gas plate to boil water for coffee during loadshedding. Beds are comfortable. Cottage is exceptionally clean. And the owners have such amaxing dogs that chill with you on the patio :) Definitely exceeded expectations!
