Cosy cottage on a pond.

10.0

The cottage was magical and we fell in love with it as soon as we entered. The place was cosy and had everything that we needed for a weekend getaway. The farm was beautiful and roaming around with my family was a joy.

We would have loved to see the fruit trees filled with fruits and our little boy would have loved to see where his apples and pears grow. We will definitely love to go back when the trees are filled with fruits.

Pleasant country escape

8.0

Pros • Good base to explore Elgin wine region • Good communication and access • Well located with lovely scenic view • Good security • Good privacy from other farm cortages • Pleasantly decorated • Well equipped for self catering • Comfortable beds • Lovely farm walks l

Cons • Fan in main bedroom not working • Chairs and sofa a bit upright and uncomfortable for really relaxing • Sliding door towards water area difficult to lock • Highway noise may detract from restful escape - take ear plugs • Its a working farm so audible hum of tractors • Situated overlooking a body of water very nearby so lots of insects and tiny miggies at twilight • Hooks behind bathroom door would be useful

Relaxing getaway for the whole family

9.0

Love the location. Private little pond. Amazing for dogs that love to swim. Tons of space and opportunity to walk the farm. Great wine farms just down the road. Indoor and outdoor braai for summer and winter.

Second bedroom only has a bath. Nothing else.
