    We had the most wonderful stay at Yellowwood Cottage! Derryl & Elsa truly spoiled us with amazing food and the warm hearted hospitality. Both are incredibly nice and made us feel at home from the very first second. We can fully recommend staying there and enjoying the beautiful mountains close by 😊

    Lovely landlords gave us lots of tips and recommendations. We felt very welcome! We had an amazing stay. The breakfast included self baked bread which was delicious and fresh fruits. The room was clean and we were greeted by the friendliest dog ever. Thank you so much! We can only recommend staying here. They recommended eating at Moorecroft Manor, the dinner was the best of our whole holiday! And we did a day trip to Lesotho which was a great experience.

    Very friendly owners and their dog, everything was according the description (we did not know they even clean the rooms daily); the owners helped us to contact The Roof of Africa (company, organizing a tour to Lesotho) and gave lots of tips for our further travel. It felt like coming to the relatives, which we have not seen a while. Lots of parking space. Free still water, tee/coffee. Good wifi

    Can't think of anything.

    The breakfast was superb... the full English breakfast plus fresh fruit salad, muesli and yoghurt. More toast than we could eat and freshly made plunger coffee. Our hosts, Derryl and Elsa made us feel wonderfully at home, served a delicious dinner for five of us (a family reunion with a sister from the UK) with homegrown organic veges, and then gave us the freedom of their lounge till we put the lights out after 10pm, It was South African hospitality at it's best!

    The accommodation was spacious and was warm and comfy on a cold weekend. Derryl and Elsa were wonderful hosts and went out of their way to ensure we had what we needed from recommending and booking a restaurant and advice on local attractions. Thank you - we would stay no-where else if we visit the area again.

    The room was prepared before our arrival so it was nice and warm. The dinner was exceptional, the hosts prepared breakfast-to-go for us since we had to leave early. Great value for money and a lovely atmosphere.

    Pictures are decieving , what is advertised is not really true , the owners dont say that the kotchen ,lounge , dinning area must be shared with others , the place is just an outbuilding renting out rooms , we was lucky enough there was no other bookings.... we even left one day earlier, owners was notified early we was leaving , but still made us pay full price including cleaning fee... was not worth it at all ... will never recommend this place to anyone .

    The fire place only .
