    The road can be abit rough. Might need a 4x2 with some offroad capability but this is what makes it so special too

    What a great place. Off grid. Solitude and pure bliss. Clean and classy. Owners are very nice and helpfull. Will be back

    Beautiful location in the heart of the Midlands. Travel time from Salt Rock (minus road works) was not bad - approximately 1h45 with moderate traffic. Lodges are fully equipped and each has it's own unique design and flair (we booked The Tree house & Nguni). Mark was always available via WhatsApp to help. 3 free range kids with us, pretty much had free run of the gorgeous countryside. Difficult get this kind of 5***** accommodation & service for the price we paid. Well worth a stay for anyone loving the Midlands Meander; and to escape City life.

    It's a beautiful home with a absolutely stunning view of the hills and forest. So quiet and calming. Very comfy bed, high pressure shower which is not very common and everything you need for a getaway. More than enough kitchen utensils, great small appliances and crockery to make anything you need. Fireplace and gas heater all check. Really enjoyed our stay.

    A few small niggles but Lee sorted immediately, which was great! We weren’t prepared for the weather, it was cold & wet so we didn’t really get the opportunity to explore the area or use the Braai/firepit. A good excuse to come back I guess.

    Beautiful lodge, off the beaten track. Lee was very helpful and accommodating… and he even gave us great recommendations on where to go for food (the Fable for brekkie is a must)!

    I have one word for my weekend, WOW!! The Hosts are so friendly and very informative. The house was clean and very inviting, the attention to the small details blows me away! I would highly recommend this accommodation. Before my weekend start the host reached out to me and gave me all the information required. It is peaceful and quiet, perfect place to go and unwind

    We loved the attention to detail: welcome rusks, fruit and Wedgwood nougat. The inverter, gas appliances and wifi made our stay comfortable and peaceful. A home away from home. Mark and Lee made us feel comfortable and welcome at Dashy Cottage. The amenities were good. Having the inverter made Loadshedding a breeze. The peace and proximity to some Midlands Meander eateries made our stay memorable. We highly recommend Dashy cottage with all its thoughtful touches.
