Relaxing, peaceful, cozy.

My partner and I had an amazing stay at Beechwood Cottage. It is a beautiful cottage on a peaceful and secure farm property. The cottage is fully equipped, with a comfortable couch and TV, outside braai area for relaxing, and a cozy bath if that's your thing (it is ours). I would 100% recommend, and hope we get to visit again.

Die verblyf het alles en meer in as wat verwag was, ons het baie lekker gebly.

Die verblyf is perfek vir 'n rustige wegbreek van al die daaglikse maligheid.

Perfect spot to discover and explore Oribi Gorge area.

We really enjoyed the lovely little house/cottage on the farm that offers everything you need. It's quiet and peaceful, situated just outside Oribi Gorge National Park and Lake Eland Game Reserve - a must to visit! The cottage itself is lovely, with complimentary wood, milk, a well-equipped kitchen, heaters, warm blankets, and an electric blanket for extra cold nights. We really enjoyed our two nights here!

Private, affordable, tranquil and well located to explore the Lake Eland region.

We so enjoyed the space & privacy within such a tranquil environment. The host was friendly and accommodating. The accommodation was everything we needed and very well situated, just minutes away from all the sites to see. We will definitely return. The WiFi did not work with the code given, but we never reported it and used it instead as some electronic "downtime" to enjoy nature and each other.

Bietjie wegbreek uit die stad.

Oribi is 'n fantastiese plek om te besoek, of dit nou alleen is of saam met vriende/familie. Ek het die staproetes baie geniet. Die ontvangs was vriendelik by Beechwood Cottage. Baie behulpsaam. Sal dit aanbeveel aan vriende en familie.

Heerlike wegbreek.

Beechwood Cottage is pragtig, die eenheid is skoon, netjies en toegerus met alles wat jy kan nodig kry (kombuisware, yskas en vrieskas, oorgenoeg komberse, muskietafweerder, selfs 'n wasmasjien). Daar is 'n heerlike stoep en braai-area met 'n pragtige uitsig. Dit is die perfekte plekkie vir 'n selfsorg-wegbreek en die rustigheid, stilte en mooi uitsig maak dit perfek vir uitrus. Dit is naby aan Leopards Rock, Oribi Gorge, en Lake Eland so daar is baie aktiwiteite binne 'n kort ry afstand. Brigitte is 'n wonderlike gasvrou en het ons met vriendelikheid ontvang.

Great getaway.

Beechwood Cottage is beautiful, the unit is clean, tidy and equipped with everything you could need (kitchenware, fridge and freezer, plenty of blankets, mosquito repellent, even a washing machine). There is a lovely stoep and braai area with a beautiful view. It is the perfect place for a self-catering break and the tranquility, silence and beautiful view make it perfect for resting. It is close to Leopards Rock, Oribi Gorge, and Lake Eland so there are many activities within a short driving distance. Brigitte is a wonderful hostess and received us with kindness.

Beautiful, peaceful and stress relieving.

Amazing from beginning to end. Well located. The setting was gorgeous. We loved watching the mist drift across the mountains from the lounge and patio. Great open but safe place (fully fenced) in front of the cottage for children to run and have fun. We had a visit from the Woolley Necked Stork- so tame. The hosts were lovely and hospitable. There when you need them, but then they leave you to relax and enjoy. The rustic decor of the cottage made it cosy and homely. All essentials are there - including drinking water and milk! Can't wait to go back!

Wonderful affordable comfortable accommodation nearby several tourist spots.

Had a fantastic stay as a family with a small child. Very impressed with the furnishing and all the attention to detail. A huge bonus was the firewood which was delivered free of charge for the fire pit. The sunsets were incredible. Will happily recommend this place to friends. The flies were a bit irritating but a small price to pay for the beautiful horses on the property and the scenery.

Dit was vir ons familie 'n wonderlike gemaklike week saam.

Dit was 'n perfekte ligging en heerlik om alles daar te hê wat mens nodig het. Wat ons familie baie getref het is ons baie laat na 'n baie lang pad die aand daar aangekom het en die woonplek het alles gehad om die volgende oggend te oorleef voor ons kon gaan inkopies doen. Die heerlike tuisgebakte beskuit was 'n wenner. Die lekkerste was as ons die middae moeg teruggekom het was ons plekkie pragtig skoon. Ons reis gereeld en dit is definitief een van die beter, gemaklike, goed toegeruste plekkies waar ek al gebly het. Ek kan die plekkie definitief aanbeveel, ons het heerlik gekuier en die gasvryheid van die eienaars was 'n riem onder die hart.

It was a wonderful and comfortable week for us as a family.

The location was perfect and it was delightful to have everything we needed there. What impressed us most as a family , was the fact that we arrived at the destination very late after a super long drive, and the accommodation had everything we would need the next morning to survive before we could go shopping for groceries. The delicious home-made rusks were a winner. The best part was when we arrived back at our little place in the afternoons, very tired, and it was nicely cleaned. We travel a lot and this is definitely one of the better, more comfortable, nicely furnished places I've stayed. I could definitely recommend this accommodation. We had a great time and were heartened by the hospitality of the owners.

Gerieflik, ruim, netjies, vriendelike ontvangs en personeel, laat jou tuis voel.

Brigitte het ons vriendelik ontvang. Die verblyf was netjies en skoon met ons aankoms en is deurgaans so gehou deur personeel wat die eenheid daagliks kom diens het. Die omgewing is pragtig, rustig en veilig met genoeg ruimte vir die kleinspan. Sal dit beslis enige tyd aanbeveel. Die ligging is ideaal indien jy die Oribi Gorge area wil besoek maar effens ver, maar steeds binne trefafstand van die strande af (+-25km). Baie dankie aan Brigitte en Heinz vir 'n aangename tyd by Beechwood Cottage.

Comfortable, spacious, neat, friendly reception and staff, we felt at home.

Brigitte welcomed us warmly. Neat and clean accommodation kept that way the entire time, the unit was cleaned daily. Beautiful area, quiet and safe with enough space for the kids. Will recommend this anytime. Ideal location if you want to visit the Oribi area, maybe a bit far, not too far, from the beach (+ - 25 km). Thanks so much Brigitte and Heinz, for a wonderful time at Beechwood Cottage.

Rustig en ontspannend.

Brigitte is 'n wonderlike gasvrou wat baie moeite doen. Die kothuis is geleë 25 km vanaf Shelly, weg van die lawaai van vakansiegangers. Die huis is netjies en skoon met alles wat jy nodig het - tot 'n wasmasjien. Dis ideaal vir bergfietsryers. Kan dit vir seker aanbeveel!

Dit was 'n fantastiese, onvergeetlike vakansie!

Dit sal altyd 'n goeie herinnering wees. Baie dankie aan julle en die eienaars. Ek was beïndruk met my aankoms by Beechwood Cottage. Alles was netjies en skoon, en is so gehou gedurende my verblyf. Ek het heerlik gekuier en lekker uitgerus na 'n besige en stresvolle jaar. Dit het gevoel asof ek in my eie huis is. Die uitleg het nie veel verskil nie. Sal vir seker weer in die toekoms daar wil kuier.

Baie sentraal geleë en naby aan alle besienswaardighede. Dit is ten volle toegerus met 'n braaier en braaihout .

Ons ligte is die aand deur weerlig uitgeslaan. Binne sekondes was die eienaars daar met kerse en het aangebied om vir ons kos te gee. Gelukkig het die ligte na 5 min aangekom.

Definitief die geld werd. Het ongelukkig nooit die eienaar gesien nie en moes deur die werkers kommunikeeer wat nie altyd suksesvol was nie.

Rustig en verfrissend.

Ons het vir 5 dae by Brittige se Beechwood Cottage gebly. Die huis is baie mooi afgerond en het alles wat jy sal benodig. Al die pragtige en die avontuurlike aantreklikhede in die Oribi Gorge-omgewing is binne 20 minute se ry vanaf Beechwood Cottage. As jy 'n plekkie soek wat lekker rustig is waar jy kan ontspan, is Beechwood Cottage die antwoord.

We stayed at Brittige's Beechwood Cottage for 5 days. The house is very nicely finished and has everything you will need.

If you are looking for a place that is nice and quiet where you can relax, Beechwood Cottage is the answer.

Baie aangenaam en verwelkomend. Kan aanbeveel, selfs vir vier mense!

Met die eerste oogopslag was ons beïndruk met die woning. Dis wanneer jy van nader kyk en instap, wat mens onmiddellik gemaklik en tuis voel. Die eienaars is vreeslik vriendelik en tegemoedkomend. Daar is hout verskaf met braai "briquette" en self ook 'n vol bottel melk met ons aankoms. Die yskas is 'n behoorlike grootte en alles is baie skoon en netjies. Die woning is ook naby die Zipline en Oribi Gorge Hotel wat besienswaardighede het met heelwat dinge om te doen. Die enigste ding was dat ons nie besef het om ons eie DStv-dekodeerder te vat nie, maar op navraag het die eienaars aangedring om hulle s'n te gebruik. Ek kan nie wag om weer daarheen te gaan en die gasvryheid en rustigheid van Beachwood cottage te ervaar nie.

Very pleasant and welcoming. Can recommend, even for four people!

At first glance we were impressed with the residence. It's when you take a closer look and walk in that you immediately feel comfortable and at home. The owners are extremely friendly and accommodating. Wood was provided with braai "briquette" and even a full bottle of milk upon our arrival. The fridge is a decent size and everything is very clean and tidy. The residence is also close to the Zipline and Oribi Gorge Hotel which have attractions with plenty of things to do. The only thing was that we didn't realize to take our own DStv decoder, but upon enquiry, the owners insisted on using theirs. I can't wait to go there again and experience the hospitality and tranquility of Beachwood cottage.

Excellent facilities at Beechwood Cottage.

I found Beechwood Cottage to be modern, well-equipped, extremely neat, tidy and clean! It is tastefully decorated and the kitchen is well equipped. The bathrooms are a pleasure to use. I was absolutely pleased at having the full DStv bouquet on offer as well, as we were able to watch some Currie Cup rugby after a long day in the Oribi Gorge and Lake Eland. It was a pleasure to stay at Beechwood and I would highly recommend it to other people.
