Second time just as special as before.
Unbelievably nice visit with a lot of tranquility. Just didn't have enough wood, but luckily the town is close enough. Will definitely recommend.

Silence and no WiFi was nice.
Very quiet and peaceful. Clean linen. Solar power works well while the sun is shining. Gas geysers work well. Ideal to switch off a bit. Watch out for mud, we got stuck. There was an alternative route.

Goed vir wegbreek as jy lus is vir geen opvangs en stilword.

Good for a getaway if you fancy no catching up and getting quiet.
Solar panel with battery is suitable for lights and small fridge in the accommodation as well as recharging mobile phones. Google pin location does take a short cut between the wheat fields and then the map misses the road, better to keep on the main dirt road until the sign indicates Aprekkooskos turn left through the gate. Water pressure in the shower is very low, but gas geyser provides nice hot water.

Perfect for a peaceful getaway!
We have been to Appelkooskop Cottage more than once. There is no cell phone reception (that's great!) and it's very peaceful, quiet, and private. The place is very nicely decorated!

Break away Turn off Heaven on earth.
The far-away-from-it-all feeling that is just needed to switch off can be found here. Not a light or road in sight. Beautifully furnished with everything and more necessities available, and the small detail that does not go unnoticed. Communication before and during was great. Although luckily there is no cell phone reception (big win!). Definitely want to relax there again one day.

Perfect place to switch off!
The cottage was the perfect place to switch off. It's great that there was no signal (there is catchment a short distance from the house if you need it). Although there is no electricity, the solar panels were enough to recharge phones. There is also a nice gas stove and hot water to shower with (the pressure is just a little low). I usually get cold easily, but this was not a problem at all, the bedding was nice and warm and there were also hot water bottles available. It was lovely to have the field around you and just to hear the sheep, birds and frogs. The braai place is also excellent. We will want to go there again!

Perfect getaway destination. Didn't see a single bit of civilization for three days and enjoyed a lovely long weekend in nature. House is very neat and even better equipped than I expected. Would definitely recommend.

Super peaceful and slightly more than we expected.
The solar panel lights were just enough to help us in the dark with what we needed and the cottage had all the necessary amenities except a pair of scissors which we also naturally forgot. The shower's water pressure is not amazing, but at least the water is hot. I was also slightly frightened by the snake outside, but what do you expect so deep in nature? Just watch out for Google Maps' pin for the location. The poor farmer just shakes his head and laughs for the number of times when the city lads stop and ask - dear Mr, which way, we can't find the cottage!?

Accommodation with character.
The cottage was very clean and tidy, is extremely well equipped for self-catering and has a lot of character. The location is nice and secluded and private. The owners were extremely hospitable. We can highly recommend this cottage for people who will appreciate silence, tranquility and the beautiful surroundings.

Unbelievable.
We had such a good time, we were sad to leave. There is so much to do, walk, visit, birdwatching to take fantastic nature photos. Place was very clean and the pampering made us feel at home immediately. The sheep and calves grazing around the house were so peaceful. Come back soon.

Quiet and the ideal place to switch off and make nature your own.
Stay was pleasant and is ideal if you like absolute silence and solitude. Enjoyed it a lot. Place lends itself to short visits 3-5 nights maximum which involves water supply.

Very calm.
The weekend was wonderful. The ad could perhaps (perhaps we missed it?) just mention that mobile phone reception is limited so that people are not caught unprepared. Nothing serious, just good to know. The host provides much more than just the usual items, which are worth mentioning, for example ample firewood, bottle of wine, biscuits, fresh milk, etc.

Silence and rest with birdsong as background sounds.
A wonderful place, neat and comfortable, even if there is no electricity. Not even cell phone reception. A great option for those who just want to be quiet and peaceful, staring at nature. No WiFi, thank goodness, just the miraculous rays of the healing sun. We even got a little rain! This caused great fun with opening farm gates and pools of water. Time stands still and one draws energy from nature and the lovely clean air. I can highly recommend it.

Nice place.
Very nice stay and can definitely recommend it to someone who just wants to get away to silence and do nothing. Beautifully restored cottage with decor that compliments. Just bring food and clothes - leave everything there from coffee/tea, biscuits, fresh bread and LOTS of wood. Thank you Nalise for a clean house, good and friendly service. See you again soon.

Apricot Head can only look at the stove or fridge that may be leaking gas. However, this does not make the experience weak or unpleasant.
