That I didn't get to stay long enough to make a fire :).

This is a lovely place. Comfortable with everything you can think of. The trees and animals make you feel like you are somewhere in the mountains, but at the same time very close to town to be able to do business and see the sights. Diana and George are lovely. Looking forward to going back.

The shower head needs to be fixed to stop a water leak.

The room was very comfortable. The surroundings are very beautiful and restful. The deck by the river is a wonderful place to cool off.

What a lucky find. If we ever get back to that part of the country we hope and pray it’s available again

Everything. Spacious. Tranquil. Everything you need is provided for and more. Great area to walk, jog or cycle. Far enough out of Stellenbosch but close enough too.

This is just the most amazing spot. The cottage is surrounded by trees, nature and animals, so tranquil and soothing. It was a dream. Host Di is the loveliest - very welcoming and sweet. I never wanted to leave!

Only the Moskitos are a bit annoying. without any nets on the windows you can’t open any windows at night

Great Little cabin really recommendable with a beautiful veranda

Very lovely place and garden!

Everything was lovely. Will be back for a longer stay next time.

Beautiful farm, garden and cottage. We unfortunately could only manage to stay one night but it was like being in a fairytale. Walk to the river, quietly sitting on the riverside bench and watching the horses made our short stay so memorable. It was cold but the fact that the cottage is carpeted, had electric blanket and heater made it very comfortable. Good quality linen and overall, very well equipped. Host Diane was friendly and welcoming. Her artworks on the walls throughout the cottage are lovely and most appreciated.

A couple of amenities were less than perfect or malfunctioned during our stay. We informed our host of the situation (to which she responded swiftly), but seeing as we were only staying for a short while, there wasn't much she could have done. We were just unlucky. Despite the minor inconvenience, we had a lovely stay.

We booked the Garden Suite and stayed in September 2023. We were welcomed by our wonderful host (Diana) and her 3 co-hosts (2 dogs and a cat) when we arrived. She gave us a tour of the interior and guided us through the various amenities available. We were left alone to unpack but she was always reachable via call/WhatsApp. The place felt private and safe. The suite was nestled in a lush green enclave with foliage all around yet it didn't feel overgrown or too dense. From our room we could catch a view of some mountains off in the distance, as well as a view of the paddocks where we caught glimpses of some horses/ponies frolicking around. The sound of running water from the nearby river, the rustling of the trees as the wind blew as well as the chirping of birds greeted us every morning. Loadshedding was of little hinderance as there was backup power available on the property. Hot water for showering was also available. Several forms of heating devices were available to keep us warm throughout our stay. Microwave oven, washing machine, gas stove top and refrigerator worked wonderfully. The linen, towels and room were clean. Private parking was also available on the property. Wifi was good. Some points to consider, the property is a distance away from the nearest town (Stellenbosch) and there did not seem to be any other shops or restaurants nearby within walking distance (at least none that I was aware of). The nearest convenience store available was a Woolworths Foodstop in an Engen petrol station 3km away (30+ minutes walk).

During the walkabout to the river, there seemed to be quite a few dog faeces on the walk paths.

The views were great, especially during the walk to the river. Having a variety of things/programmes to watch in TV, having the power even after Loadshedding hit. Also just having more than one option of keeping the room/bed warm. And privacy was respected.

Location pretty awesome! We went for a nice walk to the river.

Absolutely nothing.

Diane and the three dogs added so much to the already stunning place. We loved every moment of our stay. Thank you Di!

Stayed in May 2023

Mattress was a little hard for me, and my wife would have liked a shower cap. No big deal.

Very quiet and pretty location. Charming host, and we loved the dogs :-). Suite was supplied with a few essentials (tea, milk, ...) which was nice. Load-shedding didn't affect essentials,

Such a beautiful little cabin in the woods, with a small fireplace inside & fire pit outside. You are surrounded by nature, lots of squirrels & horses in the paddocks around the cabin & beautiful scenery everywhere you look. The added bonuses were a really nice shower and the view from the bed.

Friendly owner, large room with everything you could need, solar panels so load shedding isn't much of a problem (huge plus in times where you have power from Eskom around 50% of the day). Very large and nice property. Uber rides to Stellenbosch were available.

Really comfortable accommodation, Di is a great host. The property had solar/battery backup so we did not notice Load shedding a great bonus for us. Very comfortable extra large bed and outside seating area

The property is very peaceful and Diana is a wonderful host. We had a great sleep in the comfortable bed and woke up with the chirping of the birds. Oh and a big plus for us: her three cute dogs!
