Cozy farm cottage in beautiful setting.

The beautiful view and walk to the river. The cottage was pet-friendly and we appreciated the gas heater and electric blankets.

Un accueil parfait dans un cottage charmant

10.0

Le charme du cottage, l’emplacement, la localisation et aussi l’investissement de Craig et de son épouse pour que notre séjour se passe au mieux. Ils sont très disponibles pour toute information sur les activités alentours (Sani Pass, balade à pied ou à cheval). Merci encore pour votre accueil !

Exceptional

10.0

Location is fantastic and the host is excellent. He made sure that we were comfortable and even remembered us from the year before. He even showed us his new puppy and it felt like home. A lovely place to relax, just outside of Underberg and the perfect stay before going up Sani Pass.

They didn't provide any towels.

Quiet and Peaceful

8.0

Amazing views, very friendly and welcoming owners, loved the openness and the quietness. More than enough warm blankets for the cold night and ample parking.

The road to the cottage is not great at all. Car took quite a beating and a bit of a long drive. Best to book if you have a higher car. Not in the owner's control though so nothing on them. No pots or pans to cook dinner or breakfast, although there was a gas stove.
