THE PLACE Ladismith Reviewed by Erika Costa "An absolute Retreat! If you are looking to be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nature, the stars and fresh air, then this is The Place (literally) to go! We spent our Easter Weekend here in the Studio cottage with our two dogs and had an absolutely fabulous time doing almost next to nothing. There are lovely mountain bike paths that we enjoyed and the dogs were in their... (Read more) |
MILLWOOD COTTAGE East London Reviewed by Gerrit Hattingh "If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an experience is worth a thousand pictures. We have had a splendid time and thank you for making us feel so welcome. The cottage is absolutely perfect and had everything and even more than we expected. My wife loved the cottage and the fact that we could hear the sea in the morning when she woke up. It put her in a good mood for the... (Read more) |

CAPE POINT COTTAGE AND VILLA, SIMON'S TOWN Cape Peninsula & Surrounds Reviewed by Almo Geldenhuys About three years ago a group of friends who entered middle age decided that for our birthdays we will spoil each other by whisking the birthday person away to an undisclosed venue for a weekend getaway within 100km (or so) from Cape Town. Since then we have made incredible memories as friends and found absolute gems to spend a weekend together. Last weekend we spent it at Cape... (Read more) |
TREE SPIRIT COTTAGE Knysna Reviewed by Nicoline van Heerden Upon arrival we were welcomed with open arms and by very friendly donkeys. Fiona picked fresh salad and herbs from her garden which was such an awesome and welcoming gesture. Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end. The cottage and the location is perfect, it is truly a piece of heaven and well worth every cent. We will most definitely go back and stay longer next ... (Read more) |

THE LITTLE FARMHOUSE Stanford Reviewed by Gudrun Burns We returned for a second time to The Little Farmhouse and loved it just as much as the first! From the attention to detail, hot water bottles, blankets and the basket of farm eggs and honey, to the daily visits from Onkie and Penelope and the sheep, it is very difficult to find fault with this gorgeous cottage and its hosts. We have no problem being "screen free" for the time w... (Read more) |

DIE STAL Swellendam Reviewed by Daniel Freitag Die Stal is our favourite self-catering cottage of all time. It really is a gem. Everything inside the cottage has a premium feel to it. I loved the kitchen, it comes fully equipped with everything you would need. The bathroom and the walk in shower are really nice. I want to tell everyone about this place because it's so nice, but I also don't want anyone to know about it so t... (Read more) |

LONG THIN FARM Stilbaai Reviewed by Wade Gainsford "Spent 6 glorious days at the farm with my wife and two kids 6 and 8 . Lazy days on the river, whether supping or canoeing (supplied by the farm) or just floating on our backs amidst the serenity of this special place. It was a rare pleasure to be able to play in the river one day and surf the famous Stillbaai reef the next (only 13 km away). The cottages were well appointed an... (Read more) |

WOLFKOP GUESTHOUSE Citrusdal Reviewed by Holly Jade "Wolfkop's Guesthouse, Harpius House Cottage, is incredible. A great escape for a group of friends or for an intimate getaway. The views are never-ending, the house is spacious and I love the big windows and doors that open up onto the long patio. To wake to freshly picked oranges being juiced, coffee being brewed and farm bread being toasted is the a perfect way to start the d... (Read more) |
BIBI'S JOY Swellendam Reviewed by Janine Fourie "I would highly recommend this little piece of heaven! We had an absolutely amazing weekend. The best part of this weekend is the fact that it was a pet-friendly so I could bring my two fur-children with and they had an absolute ball! The only bad thing about this weekend is that it was too short. Thanks again Peter for the wonderful experience." (Read more) |

RATELPOST GUEST FARM Stilbaai Reviewed by Pam Jones What a wonderful getaway adventure we had at the stone cottage on Ratelpost Guestfarm. It is the perfect place to get away from the city ratrace and relax and unwind in the comfy little rustic cottage in the middle of nowhere! The setting is gorgeous, with carpets of wild flowers in bloom even in May 2015 when we were there. The walk to the beach is well worth the effort as you... (Read more) |
