Onvergeetlike naweek met die mees fantastiese views van die cottage af!

Lucy het ons baie vriendellik ontvang en Daleen die eienaar was die heeltyd in kontak met ons. Die cottage se foto's doen dit nie justice nie, dis baie mooier in die regte lewe. Als in die cottage was spotless, attention to detail was amazing. As jy iets gesoek het, was dit daar. Beste self catering waarin ek nog gewoon het. Lekker loopafstand van als af! Sal beslis weer bespreek. Ek wou die hele naweek net op die stoep sit en vir die view kyk!

Unforgettable weekend with the most fantastic views from the cottage!

Lucy received us very kindly and Daleen the owner was in contact with us the whole time. The cottage's photos don't do it justice, it's much more beautiful in real life. Als in the cottage was spotless, attention to detail was amazing. If you were looking for something, it was there. Best self catering I have ever lived in. Nice walking distance from everything! Will definitely book again. I just wanted to sit on the porch all weekend and look at the view!

Lekker familie trippie.

Lekker huis. Skoon, netjies, baie mooi ingerig en versier. Als wat jy nodig het is daar. Vir die Gautengers, die huis is omhein, met diefwering en 'n alarm. Dit is 'n maklike loopafstand van die Clarins Square met al die winkeltjies en restaurante. Daar is 'n TV, maar die klank is bietjie sleg. Ons het bordspelle gespeel, so dit het ons nie gepla nie. Daar is 'n wasmasjien, tuimeldroër en 'n skottelgoedwasser. Daar is 'n erf waar kinders kan speel. Die plek het trappe. Twee slaapkamers onder en 'n loft met 2 enkelbeddens. Die beddens het elektriese komberse. En die een badkamer het 'n bad en die ander een het 'n stort. Die gasvrou was baie behulpsaam en het vinnig gereageer op ons vrae. Ons het bietjie gesukkel om by die plek uit te kom omdat hy nie op Google Maps is nie, maar dit was nie te erg nie. Dit is op die hoek van Roos- en Naudestraat. Ons gaan vir seker weer die huis gebruik. Ek kan dit baie sterk aanbeveel.

Nice family trip.

Nice house. Clean, tidy, very nicely furnished and decorated. Everything you need is there. For the Gautenians, the house is fenced, with burglar bars and an alarm. It is an easy walking distance from the Clarins Square with all the shops and restaurants. There is a TV, but the sound is a bit bad. We played board games so it didn't bother us. There is a washing machine, tumble dryer and a dishwasher. There is a yard where children can play. The place has stairs. Two bedrooms downstairs and a loft with 2 single beds. The beds have electric blankets. And one bathroom has a bath and the other has a shower. The hostess was very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. We had a little trouble getting to the place because it's not on Google Maps, but it wasn't too bad. It is on the corner of Roos- and Naudestraat. We will definitely use the house again. I can highly recommend it.

Home away from home.

The check-in and check-out were simple. The host was lovely and explained everything clearly. I like the idea of being able to arm an alarm when going out. The house was clean and had everything you needed to stay comfortably. We loved the big garden for the teenagers to kick a ball around and enjoy the braai area separate from the balcony. The balcony area was set up beautifully and comfortably where we spent most of our time at home. The only recommendation I would suggest is in the frame where all the info is, perhaps look at putting the load shedding zone and the WiFi code (although the WiFi code was given to us, I had switched my phone off when we arrived). We had a wonderful time and will be back at Birch Cottage.

Fantastiese verblyf met 'n pragtige view!

Daar is regtig niks waarmee ons kon fout vind by Birch Cottage nie, die eienaars het werklik so mooi aan alles gedink. Dit is eersteklas gasvryheid wat jou so tuis laat voel, maar ter selfde tyd is alles "spotless" en pragtig ingerig. Die ligging is onverbeterlik, stapafstand van die "hustle and bustle", maar ver genoeg vir heerlike privaatheid en vrede. Die uitsig van die stoep af is ongelooflik. Ons het ontspan met die intrapslag!

Fantastic stay with a beautiful view!

There really is nothing we could find fault with at Birch Cottage, the owners have really thought of everything. It is first-class hospitality that makes you feel so at home, but at the same time everything is "spotless" and beautifully furnished. The location is unbeatable, walking distance from the "hustle and bustle", but far enough for great privacy and peace. The view from the porch is incredible. We relaxed with the kick-in!

Skoon, netjies, modern en gemaklik.

I.v.m. die e-pos versoek oor terugvoering. 1. Die WiFi se sein was baie swak en het eintlik glad nie gewerk nie, alhoewel daar staan WiFi op die beskrywing. 2. Die DStv was net beskikbaar vir 1 dag. Dit het nie Vrydag of Sondag gewerk nie, alhoewel daar op die beskrwying staan dat DStv daar is. 3. Daar kort 'n rooster om meer te braai. 4. Die dak lig in die een kamer werk nie, alhoewel daar wel lampies was. 5. Dit sal meer gerieflik wees met 'n lamp of twee in die sitkamer vir rustiger kuier atmosfeer. Die ligte werk almal saam dus baie helder of pik donker. Ons het wel baie lekker gebly. En waardeur die moderne, skoon plekkie en uitsig. Ook die wasmasjien was gerieflik. Dankbaar dat hulle ons akkommodeer het met ons 2 klein lyfies. Baie dankie.

It didn't work on Friday or Sunday, even though the description says DStv is there. 3. A grill is needed to grill more. 4. The roof light in one room does not work, although there were lamps. 5. It would be more convenient with a lamp or two in the living room for a more relaxed atmosphere. The lights all work together so very bright or pitch dark. We did have a very nice stay. And thanks to the modern, clean place and view. The washing machine was also convenient. Grateful that they accommodated us with our 2 little bodies. Thank you very much.

Heerlik wegbreeknaweek in die mooiste deel van ons land.

Birch Cottage is baie modern en gerieflik, alles is pragtig skoon en al die geriewe wat mens benodig is daar. Die stoepie wat uitkyk op die berge is 'n wenner. Van vroeg tot laat gesit en speletjies speel op die stoep. Loopafstand van die dorp en eetplekke en veilige parkeerplek. Enigste probleem is die water na loadshedding.

Net waarvoor ons op soek was.

Birch Cottage was ideaal gewees vir ons gesin van 4 grootmense en 2 klein kinders. Ons was mal oor die uitleg van die huis, en hoe naby dit geleë was aan die winkels en restaurante, maar steeds stil en privaat. Die kaggel was wonderlik! Die huis was baie goed toegerus. Ook genoeg warm komberse! Neem dalk net 'n gastofie saam in geval van beurtkrag.

Just what we were looking for.

Birch Cottage was ideal for our family of 4 adults and 2 small children. We loved the layout of the house, and how close it was to the shops and restaurants, but still quiet and private. The fireplace was great! The house was very well equipped. Also plenty of warm blankets! Maybe just take a gas coffee with you in case of load shedding.

Goeie waarde vir geld. Ideaal geleë.

Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike eerste ervaring van Clarens. Die huis is keurig versier en het alles wat mens kan benodig en meer. Ek kon sien die eienaar het 'n oog vir 'detail' met elektriese komberse op elke bed, speletjies, boeke en puzzle vir grootmense en kinders, en tot sambrele beskikbaar vir as dit reën. Die huis is ideaal binne stapafstand van die dorp geleë en omhein met 'n netjies grasperk vir die kinders om te speel. Die uitsigte is pragtig en ons het heerlik gekuier op die stoep in die dag en voor die kaggel in die aande. Dankie vir jul deel in 'n onvergeetlike ervaring!

Good value for money. Ideally located.

Thank you very much for a wonderful first experience of Clarens. The house is nicely decorated and has everything one could need and more. I could see the owner has an eye for 'detail' with electric blankets on each bed, games, books and puzzles for adults and children, and even umbrellas available for when it rains. The house is ideally located within walking distance of the town and fenced with a neat lawn for the children to play. The views are beautiful and we had a great time on the porch during the day and in front of the fireplace in the evenings. Thank you for your part in an unforgettable experience!

Birch Cottage is perfek geleë, en al die winkels en restaurante is binne stapafstand.

Die stoepie was 'n gunsteling kuierplek, en die huis was pragtig gemeubileer en netjies. Sal vir seker teruggaan. Alles wat ons moontlik nodig gehad het was beskikbaar in die huis.

Heerlik!

Ek sal die eenheid baie sterk aanbeveel! Mens kan sien daar word moeite gedoen om aan in die groot en klein behoeftes te voldoen. Ons het niks kortgekom nie. Baie spasie, maar tog cozy! Naby aan alles, maar ver genoeg dat dit rustig is en nie raserig nie. Baie sentraal geleë. Ons het oral heen gestap!

Uitsig, uitsig, uitsig!

Wat 'n heerlike huis om in te bly terwyl Clarens beleef word! Die natuur is op jou voorstoep en jy word wakker met die aller mooiste uitsig oor die berge en 'n bonus was die warmlugballon wat opstyg. Birch Cottage bied alles wat jy nodig het en die bederf van heerlike beskuit, koffie en alle noodsaaklikhede was beslis 'n bonus. Ons sal Birch Cottage definitief weer besoek as ons weer in Clarens kom kuier.

We will definitely visit Birch Cottage again if we visit Clarens again.

Stylvol, netjies en baie goeie ligging.

Ons het ons naweek in Clarens baie geniet. Birch Cottage het baie groot bygedra tot ons ervaring. Ons kinders het die loft room baie geniet en ons het die geriewe baie geniet. Dit is loopafstand van winkels en eetplekke. Die uitsig op die berg is baie mooi en al die geriewe in Birch Cottage is eersteklas. Ek sal Birch Cottage enige tyd weer bespoek en sal graag langer wil bly. Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir enige toeris.

Salige wegbreek uit die stad!

Wat ‘n wonderlike plek! Dis min dat die foto's op die internet lewensgetrou is - soos die Engelse sê hierdie plek is “what you see is what you get”. Die huis is ruim en mooi versier. Die kamers is goed ingerig met waaiers, verwarmers, handdoeke, komberse en selfs ‘n haardroeër in die spieëltafellaai. Die kombuis is ewe goed ingerig sodat gaste regtig net nodig het om kos te bring vir hulle wegbreek. Daar is ‘n stoof met oond, mikrogolf, ketel en broodrooster. Vir koffieliefhebbers is daar 2 masjiene (een groot en een klein). Daar is ook ‘n vol yskas met vrieskas. Genoeg breekware en messegoed vir 6-8 mense. Die lekkerste bederf was die skottelgoedwasser met ‘n paar blokkies vir die naweek se skottelgoed. Die stoep is lekker gemaklik ingerig met ‘n tafel en patiobanke om die ongelooflike mooi uitsig te geniet. Ek sal voorstel om tyd op die stoep te beplan wanneer daar nie direkte sonskyn is nie - spesifiek in die somer kan dit ongemaklik warm raak. Daar is ‘n kuier-area met piekniekbankies onder langs die twee braaiers (ketelbraai em staanbraai). Let wel dat daar trappe buite en binne die huis is. Daar is sowat 8 trappies tot by die voordeur en dan weer so 4 trappies af na die slaapkamers. Daar is ook trappe na die derde solderslaapkamer. Die huis is goed geleë en is stapafstand vanaf die winkels en restaurante, maar tog ver genoeg om nie gesteur te word deur die geraas van daar nie.

Blissful escape from the city!

What a wonderful place! It's rare that the photos on the internet are true to life - as the English say this place is "what you see is what you get". The house is spacious and nicely decorated. The rooms are well furnished with fans, heaters, towels, blankets and even a hairdryer in the dressing table drawer. The kitchen is equally well appointed so guests really only need to bring food for their getaway. There is a stove with oven, microwave, kettle and toaster. For coffee lovers there are 2 machines (one big and one small). There is also a full fridge with freezer. Enough crockery and cutlery for 6-8 people. The nicest treat was the dishwasher with a few cubes for the weekend's dishes. The stoep is comfortably furnished with a table and patio benches to enjoy the incredibly beautiful view. I would suggest planning time on the porch when there is no direct sunlight - specifically in the summer it can get uncomfortably hot. There is a visiting area with picnic benches below next to the two braaiers (kettle braai and standing braai). Note that there are stairs outside and inside the house. There are about 8 steps up to the front door and then about 4 more steps down to the bedrooms. There are also stairs to the third loft bedroom. The house is well located and is walking distance from the shops and restaurants, yet far enough to not be disturbed by the noise from there.

Home away from home

Birch Cottage is really a home away from home. It is located a few blocks away from the town square so you are close enough to walk to the shops and restaurants but far enough that the noise doesn't reach. There is a beautiful view when sitting on the stoep. Comfortable outdoor couch and table to relax. At the bottom of the steps is a braai, bench, table and extra chairs. Birch Cottage is beautifully decorated and everything you could need is provided. We loved the little touches - coffee, milk, tusks, dishwasher tablets, sunlight liquid even 2 point plugs in every room. The kitchen is fully equipped with quality stuff. So no need to worry here. Home cooked meals are possible. My family and I fully enjoyed ourselves and would definitely be staying at Birch Cottage next time.

Onbeskryflike lekker bymekaarkomplek vir 'n gesin wat wyd uitmekaar bly!

Ons kampeer oor die algemeen, want mens voel nie altyd gemaklik met netheid en higiëne van plekke nie, maar hierdie was die eerste plek waar ek ingestap het en 100% gemaklik gevoel het, want die plek is pynlik netjies en smaakvol. Lucy was hulpvaardig en vriendelik en Daleen het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tuis en welkom te laat voel. Dankie, ons kinders sê ook dis die beste plek waar hulle al gebly het! Alle nodige geriewe is beskikbaar vir 'n ontspanne naweek.

Die verblyf was heerlik.

Die verblyf is modern, netjies met asemrowende uitsigte en 'n heerlike grasperk waarop die kinders baljaar het.

Baie mooi en netjies, veilige omgewing en loopafstand vanaf die dorpie.

Birch Cottage het al ons verwagtinge oortref. Vriendelike diens, baie behulpsaam. Pragtige netjies huis met 'n lieflike uitsig na berge vanaf die stoep. Loopafstand vanaf die Dorpie. Dink nie jy kan nader, mooier plekkie kry vir 6 mense nie. Ons sal definitief weer by Birch Cottage gaan kuier.

Very nice and tidy, safe environment and walking distance from the village.

Birch Cottage exceeded all our expectations. Friendly service, very helpful. Beautiful tidy house with a lovely view of the mountains from the veranda. Walking distance from the Village. Don't think you can find a closer, nicer place for 6 people. We will definitely visit Birch Cottage again.

Mooi, rustig met pragtige uitsig op die berge.

Ons is hartlik ontvang deur Lucy. Daleen was ook baie hulpvaardig en baie vriendelik. Meer as wat ons verwag het. Kamers is baie ruim. Ons welkom koffie, tee en beskuit was spesiaal. Die stoep was 'n groot bonus. Was lekker naby om te loop na die winkels en restaurante. Baie stil en rustig. Breekgoed en beddegoed van goeie gehalte. Kombersies spesiaal teen die koel oggende en aande. Sal beslis weer kom!

Nice, quiet with a beautiful view of the mountains.

We were warmly received by Lucy. Daleen was also very helpful and very friendly. More than we expected. Rooms are very spacious. Our welcome coffee, tea and biscuits were special. The porch was a huge bonus. Was nice and close to walk to the shops and restaurants. Very quiet and peaceful. Good quality linen and bedding. Blankets especially against the cool mornings and evenings. Will definitely come again!

Pragtig, netjies, modern, fantastiese ligging.

Ons het 'n tiener, 'n laerskool dogter en 'n 4-jarige dogtertjie in 'n rolstoel en almal het ewe lekker gekuier. Die huisie is verskriklik mooi versier met duursame meubels en eetgerei. Die ligging is fantasties want ons tienerseun kon lekker alleen in die dorp gaan rondloop terwyl die res van ons bordspeletjies kon geniet. Ons gestremde dogtertjie was absoluut versot op die snoesige kombersies wat in elke kamer en leefarea was. Die trappies was nie te veel van 'n gesukkel vir haar nie want ons kon haar dra tot in die huisie, sy't nie nodig gehad om na die boonste kamer te gaan nie en die paar trappies na die onderste kamers kon sy maklik self afkruip. Die eetgerei is uit die boonste rakke en die messe is elke chef se droom. Ons kan met groot vrymoedigheid die verblyf aanbeveel.

Beautiful, neat, modern, fantastic location.

We have a teenager, a primary school daughter and a 4-year-old girl in a wheelchair and everyone had a great time. The cottage is beautifully decorated with durable furniture and cutlery. The location is fantastic as our teenage son could enjoy walking around the town by himself while the rest of us could enjoy board games. Our disabled daughter was absolutely obsessed with the cuddly blankets that were in every room and living area. The stairs weren't too much of a struggle for her because we could carry her into the house, she didn't need to go to the upper room and she could easily crawl down the few steps to the lower rooms by herself . The cutlery is top shelf and the knives are every chef's dream. We can recommend the accommodation with great confidence.

Pragtige huis en baie smaakvol.

Birch Cottage is 'n plek was ons as gesin definitief weer sal bespreek. Dit is 'n pragtige huis en baie smaakvol gemeubileer. Die eienaars is baie vriendelike en behulpsame mense. Ek kan dalk net lugversorging aanbeveel, want die waaiers in die dak help nie veel as dit baie warm in Clarens is nie. Ek kan werklik Birch Cottage vir almal aanbeveel.

Beautiful house and very tasteful.

Birch Cottage is a place we would definitely book again as a family. It is a beautiful house and very tastefully furnished. The owners are very friendly and helpful people. I might only recommend air conditioning as the fans in the roof don't help much when it's very hot in Clarens. I can truly recommend Birch Cottage to everyone.

Birch Cottage is die plek om te bly as jy die sonsopkoms geniet, die pragtige uitsig op die berge waardeer en die puik ligging in Clarens koester!

Ons het heerlik gebly en ontspan. Die huis is volledig toegerus vir 6 mense en alles was silwerskoon en uiters netjies. Die stoep is prima, maar so ook die kamers, kombuis en leefarea. Die middedorp is loopafstand, maar terselfdertyd is die uitsig en stilte onverbeterlik. Die kersie op die koek is dat die stoep oos front en dus die ideale plek is om die eerste koppie koffie te geniet met die son wat jou skielik bekruip van oor die berge!

Birch Cottage is the place to stay if you enjoy the sunrise, the beautiful view on the mountains and the good location in Clarens.

We had a good stay and relaxed. The house is fully equipped for 6 people and everything is very clean and neat. The patio is great and also the rooms, kitchen and living area. The town is within walking distance but at the same time the view is great. The cherry on top is that the patio faces east so it is the ideal place to enjoy your first cup of coffee with the sun rising behind the mountains.

Uitstekende verblyf en ligging.

Uitstekende verblyfkeuse as 'n mens ruimte soek. Ons eerste besoek aan Clarens en ons keuse om Birch Cottage te kies was perfek. Ons sal vir seker weer gebruik maak van Birch Cottage omdat dit presies en meer is waarna 'n mens opsoek is. Skoon, baie ruimte, loopafstand, modern, maar gepas vir Clarens, waarde vir geld, onderdakparkering en soveel meer. Dankie Daleen vir julle gasvryheid.

Excellent accommodation and location.

Excellent accommodation choice if one is looking for space. Our first visit to Clarens and our choice to choose Birch Cottage was perfect. We will definitely use Birch Cottage again because it is exactly and more what one is looking for. Clean, lots of space, walking distance, modern but appropriate for Clarens, value for money, undercover parking and so much more. Thank you Daleen for your hospitality.

Goed geleë en keurig getooi met mooi bergvistas en snoesige komberse.

Die binnenshuise leefarea is ruimer as verwag en kombuis baie funksioneel alhoewel op die oog af klein. Gaste wat uit keuse, begroting of weens klein kinders, nie altyd kan/wil gaan uiteet nie benodig meer kombuistoerusting. Beslis meer potte en panne en tee/koffiebekers asook ten minste 'n filter-koffiemaker of meer/groter "plungers". Ook 'n tweede oondrakkie is nodig. Die eerste kaggelvuur moet gepak wees, gereed om aan te steek, met so paar ekstra stukkies hout met aankoms. Daarna koop ek met liefde hout teen R100 per dag. Die yskas was skonerig maar die vrieskas-gedeelte was duidelik maande laas ontvries en skoongemaak. Kombuiskas langs yskas vol skerprykende, giftige skoonmaakmiddels. Plaas dit eerder in jou persoonlike toesluitkassie en laat ruimte vir gaste se kruideniersware. Ek moes ekstra toiletpapier koop teen R10 per rol in die "village", nie aanvaarbaar, in ag genome die daaglikse tarief nie. Dieselfde geld vir die skoonmaker, die skottelgoedwasserseepblokkies, die kaggel- en braaihout: (Penny-Wise-and-Pound foolish). Bordspeletjies, veerpyltjies, kaarte en "jigsaw-puzzles" is altyd van pas in 'n vakansiehuis. Uitsonderlike sonsopkoms en ondergang. Wat 'n uitsonderlike bestemming?! Gastetoilet of derde badkamer noodsaaklik.

Well located and neatly decorated with beautiful mountain fish and cuddly blankets.

The indoor living area is more spacious than expected and kitchen very functional although on the surface small. Guests who, by choice, budget or because of small children, cannot/do not always want to eat out need more kitchen equipment. Definitely more pots and pans and tea/coffee mugs as well as at least a filter coffee maker or more/bigger "plungers". A second oven rack is also needed. The first fireplace fire should be packed, ready to light, with a few extra pieces of wood on arrival. After that I buy wood with love at R100 a day. The fridge was clean but the freezer section had clearly not been defrosted and cleaned in months. Kitchen cupboard next to fridge full of pungent, toxic cleaning products. Instead, place it in your personal locker and leave room for guests' groceries. I had to buy extra toilet paper at R10 per roll in the "village", not acceptable, considering the daily rate. The same goes for the cleaner, the dishwasher soap bars, the fireplace and braai wood: (Penny-Wise-and-Pound foolish). Board games, darts, cards and jigsaw puzzles are always appropriate in a holiday home. Exceptional sunrise and sunset. What an exceptional destination?! Guest toilet or third bathroom essential.
