Rustige oase.

Dit was van die beste oorslaapplek ooit. Baie vriendelik, skoon, ruim, alles werk, veilig en dit is regtig 400 meter vanaf George Parkrun af. Die uitsig op die berge en die Botaniese Tuin is ongelooflik. Die perfekte gasheer. Skrywer en skilder/kunstenaar van formaat. Baie dankie vir die professionele en vriendelike persoonlike aandag.

Peaceful oasis.

It was one of the best overnight stays ever. Very friendly, clean, spacious, everything works, safe and it's really 400 meters from George Parkrun. The view of the mountains and the Botanical Garden is incredible. The perfect host. Writer and painter/artist of stature. Thank you very much for the professional and friendly personal attention.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en was hartlik verwelkom. Blyplek was mooi skoon en het alle elektriese toebehore wat jy mag nodig hê. Dit is in 'n stil area en veilige parkering vir jou motor.

Pleasant stay in a beautiful cottage.

Such a beautiful, well-kept cottage. It's wooden, so it is warm in the winter. The beds have electric blankets too. The gate, garage, and front door have electronic locks so we could access them with an app on our phone. I liked that the decor was minimalistic, and I didn't have to put anything away because of my children. There were also 2 scooters available for them. The host was lovely. He responds quickly to any reasonable request. We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely accommodation. Clean and private.

We loved our stay. Downfall was when load shedding, there was no hot water. Even though this is mentioned in the information, one still wishes for a hot shower after a day's travel or activities. Not being informed of time of load shedding was a hindrance. Having said that, friendly & lovely all in all.

Overnight accommodation on the way to Cape Town.

It's a cute place and comfortable. Especially for a family with children as it has a fenced garden and a barbecue on the porch. Owners are very nice and helpful. Unfortunately the bathroom was very dirty and we didn't get a chance to use the shower. If the cleaning is improved I would recommend the place.

Ongelooflik mooi en rustig, goed toegerus en baie netjies.

Ek het my vrou saamgeneem op 'n werksbesoek en dus het ons ongelukkig net een aand oorgebly. Die Railway Cottage is amper splinternuut, pragtig, goed toegerus en baie netjies. Daar is alles wat nodig is vir selfsorgverblyf. Die buitebraai is onderdak met heerlike gemakstoele wat uitkyk op die Outenikwa berge. Parkering is binne 'n toesluit motorhuis met outomatiese motorhuis deur. Toegang tot die erf is via 'n outomatiese skuifhek. Jy bly op jou eie erf so dit is baie privaat. Van nou af bly ek elke maand hier!

Incredibly beautiful and tranquil, well equipped and very neat.

I took my wife with me on a work related visit and therefore we could only stay one night. The Railway Cottage is brand new, beautiful, well equipped and very neat. It has everything you need for self-catering. The outside braai is covered and has loungers with a view of the Outeniqua mountains. There is parking inside a garage that can lock. Access to the property is via an automatic gate. Each guest has their own plot and its very private. I will stay here every month from now on!
