    Such a beautiful unit. In a quiet relaxing environment. Unit is done up really nicely with beautiful high ceilings. Well furnished with everything you need. And not too far from Stanford for a day trip. Host was also so welcoming.

    The tranquility of the farm and the friendly hosts was welcoming. The ideal place to relax and unwind. Super friendly and lovely dogs. Pity the weather was not in our favor to do more activities, which means we will have to return to this amazing farm in future....and in summer!! Thanks Kirsten and family for the lovely stay.

    A really lovely cottage with everything you need and on the most beautiful farm where you can have a lovely long walk up to the dam for a swim. My doggies also loved it.

    For our first visit to the Stanford region, it was certainly a beautfiful surprise The 2 Oak trees, gaurding the property offered wise stillness and space holding. while the mountain range itself holds a prominent resonance. A still dam to bath in at the foot of the mountain range after a walk over the hills, was a delight, while the horses hold a special energy when you stop and feel their gaze. Wonderful hosts, peaceful surrounds, spoiled with a cosy running fire throughout to keep things warm during a beautiful cleaning rain.

    A healing getaway in nature

    The cooking facilities are outside which can be a little challenging, but the kitchen nook is very well protected from wind and rain so it is actually quite a cozy outside space. Also would have enjoyed a bath for my little one (there is only a shower) but I was well aware of this and made a plan.

    The setting of the cottage was so peaceful and very healing. Loved the coziness of the cottage for when it rained or was a little colder, while the outdoor space allows you to feel connected to nature and to soak up the sun. Our walks on the farm in between the fynbos were beautiful and we loved the visits to the horses and pet sheep and goats. Laughing Waters is a beautiful getaway.

    Just that there wasn’t a bath, which wasn’t expressly clear on the booking but the shower made up for it.

    Generously and thoughtfully provided tea, coffee, rusks, flowers, firewood, firefighters. Electric blankets were a delightful . Peaceful, breathtaking views of the mountains. Wonderful warm shower. Fireplace was cute and warm.

    Some utensils were missing from the kitchen, like a spatula, but overall very well equipped!

    We loved the location (very quiet and peaceful), and the cottage was cozy and comfortable. There were fresh flowers all over the cottage! We loved being able to bring our dog. Hosts were super friendly and accommodating. Lots to do close by as well, and you can do horse-riding on the farm as well. We also went hiking and swam in the dam, which was a lots of fun.

    I would’ve liked more storage space in the kitchen. We travelled with groceries for 2 days & the items that didnt go in the fridge kinda just stacked up an already crowded counter. Also, it’s on me, but I didnt realise the farm was such a distance (approx 20min drive) outside of the town. It’s perfect for a remote farming experience though.

    The cottage was beautiful decorated with fresh flowers in all the lounge areas. Our dogs loved the freedom to run around (even though the cottage/property if full fenced up). The water (spring water according to property owners) was amazing. Fresh & delicious. You can see thought went into the making our stay comfortable (matches, reading materials, electric blankets, ice, first-aid kit, candles/lamps etc.). Thank you. And, of course, the peace & quiet had us relaxed to near comatose levels. 😂
