Reviews

This is just some of what our guests had to say after staying in our cottages.

I loved the way the hostess spoiled us with fresh flowers and fruit. It made us feel special. We received everything we needed, including wifi.

Really a good choice to sleep over. Nice and calm surroundings with the utmost stunning view of the vineyard and mountains.

René Steyn - South Africa

The apartments are very nice, large, well-equipped and clean. But the stars of this establishment are the hosts. Rian and Maryke are exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

A breakfast at Maryke’s farm store is a must (sit up on the balcony for a beautiful mountain view).

Samuel Kristjansson - Iceland

Beautiful room, very clean and comfortable, views of the mountain.

Close to many attractions, but far enough away to feel completely alone and free.

David van der Walt - South Africa

Really nice hostess, very nice, clean and quiet cottage and well located to explore the area.

Sabrine Michael - Germany

Maryke and Riaan are excellent hosts. They go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and inform you of everything to do.

Beautiful location in the winelands and fruit orchards. Loved sitting outside and watching the day end with the last sun against the mountain.

Annette Swanepoel - South Africa

We attended a wedding at Bosjes venue and we were happy that the location of this accommodation was so close to it.

Maryke, the host, was so friendly and helpful with assisting us upon our arrival and making sure we were happy with our room.

Alissa Coetzee - South Africa

Very nice room with views across vineyards towards mountains. Woken up by guineafowls scrubbing around in the morning. Facilities very clean and well appointed.

Also yoghurt, coffee and rusks were provided, which was much appreciated as it is a self-catering unit.

Gerhard Loedolff - South Africa

Great room with everything we needed for an overnight stay, plus some helpful extras like an iron and ironing board.

Maryke was very accommodating and flexible with check-in and checkout times, which we appreciated so much. Also very accessible if we needed anything.

Janet Early - South Africa

It was a perfect rural setting. Definitely away from the city! Maryke, the host, is very hands-on, very accommodating.

The coffee shop nearby is excellent for breakfast and lunch.

Paul Kynas - Canada

What a GREAT apartment and perfect location with everything you need. Owners are lovely people, super friendly and helpful.

Also love their Padstal, a definite must-visit. GREAT LOCAL BREAKFAST!!! Will definitely stop over again.

Alwyn du Preez - South Africa

I liked that there was an electric blanket, water bottles and a heater since it was winter. The owner also communicated via WhatsApp and kept in touch and was also easy to get a hold of, which was great.

The place is nice and quiet and I would definitely visit again.

Tubatse Tebogo - South Africa

Maryke & Riaan were the most amazing hosts. Everything in this apartment was perfect, from the bedding, mattress, self-catering, etc.

Will certainly return.
