some smoke escaped from the fireplace into the house, but that's being fixed.

Great location and wonderful host, they were very helpful with everything!

We had some problems getting the wood fire working properly, but the owner helped us out. Says more about our own skills…

The owner was super helpful before, during and after our stay! Helped us booking an excursion to the Sani Pass. Cosy place with a lot of attention to all small extras that made our stay adorable: port wine, candles, bath salt, beauty products, popcorn, electric blankets,… Even though breakfast was not included, the surprised us with eggs, milk, muesli and freshly baked home made bread! Super for a low price! Nice garden with a lot of birds. Pitty we could not stay longer.

That we had to leave 😥

I liked everything about the cottage, there's everything you need to prepare your own meal, the host is very nice, she welcomed us, showed us everything in the cottage, she share all the activities information and where to visit, she gave us a home made bread and home made rusks, enough things for tea/coffee, lovely 2 friendly dogs in the yard, i like the big one as i got a chance to play with her. Listen, i fully recommended Glen Islay Cottage..10/10. You know that feeling when you feel it inside that you are welcome at someone's house? You do feel it there.

just one small consideration even though we didn’t have to use extra wood, in the middle of winter, don’t make people pay for the extra wood to keep on the stove as the only heating source in the house and channel TV would be great

great location, with enough space between the holiday home and the owner’s home. the bread and cookies prepared by gladness were amazing too and both her and the owner were extremely kind. activities booking is easily arranged and home is super well equipped

To be honest , I didn't came across anything negative which could have made me to have any dislikes about my entire stay.

Just everything about the place, nature and environment. It offers a peace of mind and tranquility more especially if coming from the bustling cities. The Drakensberg mountain is nothing but icing on a cake. Scenery is truly majestic and wonder to live for . The owners on top of it all were exceptionally friendly and accessible for interventions, stretching themselves to the extra limits just to make sure that guest are taken care of and happy. I will never hesitate to recommend to any person to come and have the taste of the best time I had experienced on my vacation stay.

What a spectacular place!! So comfortable, clean and cozy. Fully equipped unit with the host adding all the little unexpected extra's like fresh baked bread, chocolates and water on night stand, fresh eggs, pre-packed fire waiting to be lit - the list goes on! Beautiful setting and close to town too. Just loved it!

So loved everything about this gem! From the time the booking was made we had communication from the owner about arrival, what we’d need, directions, safest route and that we’d be able to arrive earlier than we’d expected. The cottage is home away from home. Little treats were left for us, and we were made to feel completely at home. We absolutely loved the coziness of the cottage. My daughter loved the loft bedroom and the staff were so friendly and helpful! Amazing stay at an amazing place 😊

Everything was just extra special, besides how welcoming, sweet, caring, understand, the list is endless of how amazing this place and it's owner. This place is a perfect get away, hidden home away from home place, with everything you would need in a self catering place & more. We were blessed with extra special touches, she made us platter for two, gave us eggs for breakfast and a the best homemade bread ever. Listen, Michelle is just the best host ever. I can't wait for my second visit with the rest of my family.

It’s a beautiful property with a kitchen that is well stocked to make sure you comfortably.

The hosts were the best host ever. She checked on us the from the day before to make sure we safe on the and on the day of arrival she she checked on if we still still safe on the road. Upon arrival we got the Warm welcome just like how our mothers will welcome us home. She made dinner reservations for us at the local restaurant and dropped us of, when we were done the husband came to collect us.
