    We loved this house. The main living space and kitchen were such a wonderful size and very nicely furnished. Having a bathroom upstairs saved us from running up and down the stairs. It was also nice for each bedroom to have its own bathroom. The staff was so accommodating! The location was fantastic. The view of the mountains from the deck was beautiful. We also love the location to the wineries.

    There is nothing not to like.

    Everything was great. The house is spacious and was given to us very tidy and clean. There is a small pool just next to the main bedroom that is perfect for a quick refreshment. The location is also good, with just a 5/10min stroll to get to the main street where you can find all the restaurants and stores. The area was very friendly and pretty. Would definitely recommend to stay at Small Wonder on your graden route trip.

    Marlicia and her team are super friendly, welcoming, and lovely. The house is huge, and the views are amazing from everywhere. So beautiful. Everything was spotless, and we had an amazing time. I can highly recommend this Small ( big) Wonder.. For our hike up the mountain, we also found some lunchboxes. It is really well equipped, and we got spoilt with fresh milk, butter the best coffee and biscuits. If we could, we would have stayed longer

    The only thing that I could fault with was the pool filtration system didn’t seem to be working very well but it didn’t spoil our visit

    We had the whole villa to ourselves so it was very like living in your own home. Everything in the Villa was to our liking and very secure. I would recommend this property in a flash.

    Beautifully arranged property with living space upstairs, making the most of the mountain views. Everything you could really need - we particularly appreciated the washing machine and the TV with live sports channels (the later of which worked during load shedding). Owner was very friendly and accommodating, making sure we were comfortable.

    Small Wonder was a lovely, welcoming respite from our busy city life. Our host really paid attention to detail and there were so many little extras incorporated into our stay. The house was exceptionally neat and comfortable. Thank you so much for allowing us to check in early as well. Small Wonder really deserves a 10/10!!

    We went during winter, so it was a little bit cold as there are tiled floors downstairs.

    Beautiful house in a great location. Really friendly host with impeccable attention to detail. Went out of her way to show where to go and what to do in the local area. Lovely rusks and crunchies provided in the kitchen. Also lovely touches like warm dressing gowns. Would recommend and happily stay again.

    Beautiful House, equipped with all you can ask for. Stunning views, clean pool, fireplace with wood replacement every day. House is warmed with inverters, even the bedrooms which have comfortable beds. Secure fence with garage. Walking distance 8 minutes from Main Street. Marlicia does an outstanding job making you feel welcome from the start till end of your stay, she has a lot of tips an always gives help when needed. Tip: invite Marlicia and Louis for a sundowner and you will enjoy an evening with a good conversation. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thank you!!
