    We had an unfortunate incident whereby the power went off on our last night, leaving us with uncharged gadgets. Consider a small alternative power supply.

    Very unique place and its tranquility. If you feel worn out. You would not regret coming to relax in this place. Jan was an excellent host.

    I'm easy going, and am always happy to make the best use of whatever is available to me, so I have nothing that I didn't like. I did need a little cereal bowl once or twice, but it wasn't an issue, and the cutting knives could have been a bit sharper.

    I love vintage and Boho style stuff, as well as Whimsical Art and re-purposing, and am also a huge sentimentalist aso being surrounded by it the whole long weekend was most enjoyable to me. I like that it's tucked away on a quiet private space, but close enough if you needed to get something from the town. We really just loved being out of the city and spending time relaxing with our granddaughter. she loved the morning visits from the monkeys the most, and she loved being able to play in the garden as long as she wanted to.

    The place is isolated, away from the noise, but easy to navigate to, and the house is beautiful. If you need to recharge away from the city, it's a go-to place. The host was extremely nice, Oom Jan made out stay good.

    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.

    The splash pool was not clean. That was something we looked forward to, to splash in as we at home do not have a pool. Very very disappointed.

    Property was clean. Well maintained. Spacious. Boma a lovely idea. Nice and private. Liked the fact we could bring our pup along with us.

    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.

    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

    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".
