Nothing (Bumpy road to get there, but that's temporary until the road gets re-graded after the last huge rains).

A real 'out of Africa' feel to ironstone cottage!! It was furnished with lovely wooden furniture that was all in good condition, lamps and wall pictures were lovely, and bedding was very comfy. The bathrooms were also very well updated and easy to use. Proactive management of our booking was good,with clear instructions to find the cottage.

Perfect location if you love nature! Small farm cottage with beautiful surroundings. Loved the farm dogs that came to say hello every day.

The isolation. Great feeling of away from it all. stars at night were magnificent

Stayed in April 2024

there was nothing i didn't like, however some people may not like the fact that a gravel road needs to be driven to get there, However this allows for isolation, quiet and peacefulness

Fantastic hosts, who made life easy for us to get to the location (directions were sent to us), as well as to get keys etc. The location was fantastic, very quiet (down a dirt road), and the house is great, all amenities one could need, as well as private and extremely neat

The dirt road leading to the farm had really bad coregations, but if you take it slow it's not that bad and the cottage is well worth it.

Peaceful break in a lovely cottage on a farm outside Graaff-Reinet, surrounded by mountains and Aloes, has everything you need including small private pool, inside fireplace and outside braai area. We did not want to leave the place.

Leaving.

The setting, felt a million miles away from anywhere but striking distance of town. A real highlight of our trip to this beautiful country and hosted by lovely people.

The dirt road leading up to the house is a real challenge.

The view from the house is spectacular. The environment is really cool. Also having an air-conditioning in 41 degrees is a really big plus.

During our 4 week trip in South Africa we stayed in many great accommodations but this was definitely our favourite one! It's such a special place. You feel close to nature in this beautiful, rough landscape though there is the comfort of a very nicely decorated and well equiped cottage. We loved sitting on the terrace, scanning the hills around us for wild life, taking a refreshing dive in the plunge pool and going for a walk on one of the many paths of the farm with the cute dogs. It all felt so peaceful! Also great to visit Camdeboo National Park with all its wild life and the impressive Valley of Desolation next door and grabbing some dinner in Graaff-Reinet. The cottage has a lot of privacy, but Nilene is always easily reachable for all questions and very willing to help and make your stay even more comfortable. We hope to come back one day!

We wanted some family time before joining the bigger group. Our house was apart and totally privaat. Loved the old farm furniture/antiques, but still had an aircon (for comfort) and wifi (to keep in touch if necessary).

The private pool

Location was great. Star gazing was amasing

Stayed in December 2023

Everything was perfect.

The surroundings are beautiful and cottage is beautiful and well equipped. We enjoyed the hammock, braai, swimming pool and how quiet and peaceful it was.

One small thing is that they could have provided a bit more insect repellent because there are a lot of mosquitos and flies. Not sure if anything can be done to this, but the gravel road there was not the best.

Very Private location with nice swimming pool. If we had more tome there, we would definitely have gone for a hike.

There was nothing I didnt like

The cottage was clean and comfortable. The highlight was the outdoor seating and the pool

Wonderful place on a farm. Very friendly and helpful owners who gave very clear and precise instruction on how to get there and how and what to do from there. Wonderfully quiet and perfect for people who look for their "own" place for a while, with great opportunities to hike around the farm, and take in the beauties of nature and the birdlife. Quiet, clean and very spacious. Would have liked to stay longer had we had the time.

Best location. Like the 3 dogs. Jock, Diggery and Scamp. They made it worthwhile to stay there
