Birdsong Accomodation bied 'n onvergeetlike ervaring in die Drakensberge.

Birdsong is selfs meer asemrowend as op die foto's. Die ligging, ruim spasie en praguitsig wat birdsong bied het verseker bygedra tot een van die beste jaarlikse vriende-vakansies ooit. Die hoofhuis is lekker ruim en het genoeg plek gehad vir almal om op hulle eie te ontspan en hulle bene te strek, maar ook lekker saam te kuier. Die kleiner Bird's Nest is 'n splinternuwe, kleiner eenheid wat vir een paartjie besonderse akkomodasie verskaf het. Die kuier-deck is net die beste! Dis 'n gesellige area met 'n besonderse uitsig. Charles, die eienaar, het uit sy pad uit gegaan om seker te maak als verloop goed. Hy is fantasties.

Birdsong Accomodation offers an unforgettable experience in the Drakensberg.

Birdsong is even more breathtaking than in the photos. The location, ample space and beautiful view that birdsong offers certainly contributed to one of the best annual friends holidays ever. The main house is nice and spacious and had enough space for everyone to relax on their own and stretch their legs, but also have fun together. The smaller Bird's Nest is a brand new, smaller unit that provided exceptional accommodation for one couple. The visiting deck is just the best! It's a cozy area with an exceptional view. Charles, the owner, went out of his way to make sure everything was going well. He is fantastic.

Peaceful, safe, convenient house and friendly host.

An amazing location, perfect for groups with great spaces to spend together or quiet time when needed. The Grotto trail entrance is only 100m away - do not miss that hike!

Dit was 'n heerlike ervaring.

Die omgewing is pragtig. Die huis is heeltemal toegerus met alles wat jy nodig mag hê. Baie mooi en netjies afgerond. Die daaglikse skoonmaakdiens was 'n bonus. Daar is baie om te sien en te doen in die omgewing. Ek sal die plek hoog aanbeveel en verseker weer daar wil oorbly.

Wat 'n wonderlike naweek! Charles was meer as behulpsaam. Alles was perfek.

Charles het ons ontmoet en alles mooi gewys en verduidelik. Hy het tot sover gegaan om ons te help met my dogter. Sy moes 'n taak ingee voor 5 die volgende oggend. Hy het reëlings getref met die bestuurder van die Drakensberg Sun vir haar om daar te gaan werk. Die naam Birdsong kon nie beter gekies wees nie. Die voëlgesang was ongelooflik!

What a great weekend! Charles was more than helpful. Everything was perfect.

Charles met us and showed and explained everything nicely. He went so far as to help us with my daughter. She had to turn in an assignment before 5 the next morning. He made arrangements with the manager of the Drakensberg Sun for her to work there. The name Birdsong could not have been better chosen. The birdsong was amazing!

Goeie privaat verblyf.

Uitsig baie nice. Het net gevind dat van die meubels en linne in die huis was bietjie "run down". Huis in die binnekant het 'n nuwe laag verf nodig. Matte in kamers kort ook 'n goeie was. Ligging is baie goed. Eienaar en "cleaning lady" baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

View very nice. Just found that some of the furniture and linens in the house were a bit "run down". House inside needs a new coat of paint. Carpets in rooms also need a good wash. Location is very good. Owner and "cleaning lady" very friendly and helpful.

We had a lovely stay at Birdsong Cottage No.10. We wanted to stay longer, it is a good place to relax and enjoy the view. Rosie the lady that cleaned was very nice. We will be coming back soon.

Beautiful location with well-appointed accommodation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Birdsong Cottage 10. The housekeepers, Janet and Portia were a great help. We can recommend Birdsong Cottage 10 as ideal for a visit to the Berg, but the steep inclines in the garden could hamper families with small children. Unfortunately we have tourists that still feed the vervet monkeys/baboons and they became a nuisance and potentially dangerous as they did no show any fear for children.

Quiet and peaceful breakaway.

It is a lovely house in the mountains with peace and quiet to enjoy. There were a few items missing in the house like a table cloth, ice trays and cloths. Other than that the place is nicely equipped and a lovely clean house. All in all, we had a great stay. Thanks.

Privaat. Beeldskone natuur.

Pas getroud het ek en my vrou hier ingestap en sy was dadelik nog meer lief vir my! Die fotos kan nie die rustigheid, privaatheid en natuurskoon vasvang nie! Die moderne afwerkings binne en 'n skottelgoedwasser was die kersie op die koek. Kom hierheen as jy wil wegbreek, privaat en alleen, en die natuur en sterre wil geniet!

Private. Picturesque nature.

Newly married, my wife and I walked in here and she immediately loved me even more! The photos cannot capture the tranquility, privacy and natural beauty! The modern finishes inside and a dishwasher were the icing on the cake. Come here if you want to get away, private and alone, and enjoy nature and stars!

Ons gesin het in Birdsong tuisgegaan vir 'n week en dit was onvergeetlik.

Dit was die gerieflikste selfsorgverblyf wat ek tot op hede ervaar het. Van die SMEG oond, alle kombuistoerusting wat jou hart beheer tot die goeie kwaliteit bedlinne. Die uitsig was droomagtig. Berge reg rondom met ongelooflike sonsopkoms. Fantastiese verblyf. Kon vir niks meer gevra het nie. Charles Preece was 'n uitmuntende gasheer wat verseker het ons verblyf verloop foutloos!

It was the most comfortable self-catering accommodation I have experienced to date. From the SMEG oven, all kitchen equipment that controls your heart to the good quality bed linen. The view was dreamlike. Mountains all around with incredible sunrise. Fantastic stay. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Charles Preece was an excellent host who ensured our stay went flawlessly!

Cottage was very good in some respects but weak in others.

Very cold and damp weekend and as a result bath towels were damp throughout stay and no replacements offered. Kitchen could be better equipped. No sharp knives available. Three bedrooms and only two heaters. I would only recommend cottage for summer. But otherwise we had a reasonable weekend.
