Nothing that we did not like. The decor in the cottage was something else and took us back to the good old days. The only thing that we did not like was the limited time we spend at the cottage. We booked in 14:00 Saturday and had to leave immediately for a wedding. We arrived back at the cottage at 22:00 and the next morning we had to leave at 09:00. so yes. we would've loved to spend more time at your cottage.

This cozy cottage provided the perfect retreat. Nestled amidst lush greenery have a great charm. We loved waking up to the gentle sounds of nature (and the rooster off course :) and sipping our morning coffee on the veranda.

An artists dream..... The decor is unique. Loved the open plan lounge and dining room inside, although we mainly sat outside under the lapa, when eating meals.

There is nothing not to like.

Having the entire property to our selfs, and being able to take our 4 legged friends along. There is really nothing negative regarding our stay. Quite and peacefull.... will definately recomend.

There was a very low hanging light as you step down to the passage leading to the toilets which my husband hit his head on repeatedly. The kitchen only had three pans and no pots cook in, unless we just couldn’t find them?

Very spacious and interesting decor.

the theme is old fashioned and unmodernised and everything works ! (including the wifi) ... exceptional quiet setting with friendly but respectful hosts and rabbits .

Everything was really great, no complaints at all. Great location, has everything you need and I could take my dog ❤️

There was nothing I didn’t like The only thing is that 1/5 of the friends group is a minimalist and she didn’t appreciate the Knick knacks around the home

I like how cosy, homely it is. It was clean and we were not left wanting. Kitchen is well equipped with necessary utensils. There are electric blankets for each bed and the water was always hot whenever we needed to shower. It’s close to amenities…we even went for a hike in the morning. The owner who lives on the property was very helpful whenever we needed his assistance. He only appeared when needed. There is a fireplace indoors and boma outdoors. I have an appreciation for antiques so I loved the detail

The vintage decor, you can see that effort was put in to keep the theme aligned throughout the entire place. And the price is great for that location. Special mention to Jan, his such a great host.

Nothing comes to mind.

The home has a lot of character and it is massive! It was just my husband and I but you could easily holiday there with a full family (There are 3 single beds as well). The great thing about this place, if how much there is to explore within the house, it was so many relics from years ago and interesting books to read. The furniture reminds me of my Grandma's home, in the best way possible. The outside area was the winner for me, so much space to relax and take in the stillness. There is also a large braai area. It is situated far away from the noise of the city. Very relaxing if you looking to get out of noisy Joburg. Oom Jan was especially welcoming, he made me feel very much "at home".

The host was amazing, and very helpful. The stay was excellent and I had a great time.

Unfortunately, it was too cold for a swim in the unique pool.

This place exudes charm all over.If you're looking for an unpretentious, unique experience, this is it.From the old-school yet intriguing decor to the space,you feel like you've stepped into another era..I loved the honesty of it all,what you see in the pictures is exactly what you get-no frills-no presence to be what it's not.A rustic old farmhouse beautifully decorated with unique old pieces and a lapa to die for (guess that's where the name comes from) Jan is an excellent host.He's there to attend to all your needs without being overbearing.Found him very humble, and I enjoyed our small chats. There's tons of books to read from if you want to indulge and DVDs if you're a movie person, but I guess many people wouldn't care much for those as you're there to unwind. I totally loved the experience and would definitely do it again to get away from our busy and strainous lives in the city.

I really can't think of anything I did not like except maybe for loadshedding :) which was well prepared for. The unit provides the necessities for load shedding and there is a solar light in the main room.

I loved everything, the rustic interior, the outside living room, the braai area with an additional place to put fire (we had our own little boma setup :)- perfect for winter nights) for the price we paid we got everything, the place has everything you need in a self catering apartment (even things you didn't think you wouldn't need), wish to come back here in summer and enjoy the place more! The kids loved it! We just felt close to nature in this place, there cute bunny rabbits running around. It's ideal for a couple with kids as the sleeping area is open plan and just one bedroom with a barn door. Or a group of friends would love the place. The hosts were also great, Odette and Jan.

Nothing at all.

It was quiet and extremely peaceful. We had a relaxed and chilled weekend - exactly what we needed. Loved all the antiques which gave the space a very special vibe.

Was a nice break away from the hustle and bustle at home. Peacefull and comfortable

Stayed here for 2 nights with wife and 2x kids. We were attending a wedding nearby, so was the perfect location. Jan was so accommodating with us having to drop bags before attending the afternoon wedding, and granting late access coming back to the property after the party. The area was perfectly located for sight seeing around the game farms, etc. The property decor is unique, if you take the time to walk around the property and appreciate the effort that has been put into collecting all the bits and pieces, it really is remarkable. Will definitely stay again in the future.

Beautiful surroundings and close to great restaurants and shopping. This self catering facility has everything you can possibly need for a relaxing holiday with Family. Jan, our Host was extremely helpful and welcoming. We will definitely be back to this wee bit of paradise.

There's nothing about the Lazy lapa that wasn't perfect. Jan was the perfect host...the tranquillity was exceptional, and we couldn't ask for a better family weekend. Close to so many great family outings. We shall return soon!

Love all the effort that has gone into the details in this. Everyday there is something new that you notice!

Something to make ground coffee with would be good (French press etc) - but that is minor as there is otherwise so much kitchen kit available.

This is a fantastic large space with so much interesting mosaic work and collectibles throughout. Jan was a great host. We dined at the nearby Black Horse Brewery which was terrific too.

I was surprised by the check in time being at 15:00, as it was later than other places I've stayed but it gave us an opportunity to explore the area and wait out the rain.

The Lazy Lapa has comfortable beds, lovely areas to relax and is prepared for the inevitable load shedding as they stock candles, torches and a gas stove as well as good communication of the schedule from the owners. The decor was interesting and intricate, with different mosaics around every corner. Bedding and environment very clean and comfortable.
