Rustige, veilige, skoon en uiters aangename wegbreekplek.

Dit was heerlik, rustig en ons het heel tuis gevoel. Jy word hanteer op 'n respekvolle manier en selfs aanbevelings gedoen oor dinge in die omgewing om te besigtig indien jy daarna voel. Indien jy nog langer wil bly en hulle is vol bespreek, bied hulle aan om by bure in die omgewing vir jou alternatiewe blyplek te soek indien so versoek. Baie professioneel en definitief wat ons verwag het.

Quiet, safe, clean and extremely pleasant getaway.

It was lovely, peaceful and we felt completely at home. You are treated in a respectful manner and even given recommendations on things to see in the area if you feel like it. If you want to stay even longer and they are fully booked, they offer to look for alternative accommodation with neighbors in the area if so requested. Very professional and definitely what we expected.

Salige kothuis in die natuur, op die hande gedra!

Hierdie plek is presies soos die titel dit beskryf, 'n absoluut blissful ervaring omring deur 'n pragtige tuin in die platteland. Die area is boomryk en vol natuurklanke waaraan stadsmense nie gewoond is nie. Dit was 'n ongelooflike wegbreuk. Ons het lekker in die tuin ontspan en bordspeletjies gespeel, gebraai in die magiese vuurmaakarea en ook lekker in die bed gele en Netflix kyk - luuks! Die hondjies het hulself ook gate uit geniet in die spesiale spasie. Vin is 'n fantastiese gasheer wat uit sy pad gaan om te help met raad en staan elke dag reg om 'n mens se tyd selfs beter te maak. Die kothuis is toegerus met alles wat 'n mens nodig het en vol ekstra 'special touches.' Thank you so much, Vin. We had a wonderful time!

Blissful cottage in nature, carried on the hands!

This place is exactly as the title describes it, an absolutely blissful experience surrounded by a beautiful garden in the countryside. The area is tree-rich and full of nature sounds that city people are not used to. It was an incredible breakaway. We had a great time relaxing in the garden and playing board games, barbecued in the magical fire pit and also snuggled up in bed watching Netflix - luxury! The puppies also enjoyed themselves in the special space. Vin is a fantastic host who goes out of his way to help with advice and is ready every day to make one's time even better. The cottage is equipped with everything one needs and full of extra 'special touches.' Thank you so much, Vin. We had a wonderful time!

Amazing!

It was such an amazing overnight stay! I loved everything about this place. Our host was so nice and explained everything nicely. We received some homemade smoothies on arrival and a healthy fruit basket was waiting for us. My boyfriend and I are already looking forward to the next visit there. Everything was just perfect about this place!

Comfortable stay.

Vin took exceptional care of us. He was welcoming, helpful, and paid great attention to detail. He provided well-informed recommendations on activities and places to visit. The accommodation was well-equipped, featuring a cozy fire that was perfect for the stormy weather. Our K9 and we enjoyed a very comfortable stay. Thank you, Vin.

Cute cottage in tranquil part of Grabouw.

Lovely cottage stay in a green and lush part of Grabouw. The cottage is an ideal stop-over in winter and summer. Fire place in bedroom kept me warm during the rainy, winter evening. Well-stocked kitchen for self-catering. Owner provided a delicious smoothie for breakfast.

Beautiful pet-friendly accommodation.

We had a wonderful time staying at Blissful Garden Cottage. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and exactly as advertised. The cottage is beautifully decorated, and the kitchen has everything you might need for small meal prep. The property has a lovely large garden, which our big dog really loved! We particularly enjoyed the unique braai area, which has been built against a huge fallen tree. Our hosts were so welcoming and friendly, and they ensured we had a really relaxing stay and gave us plenty of great recommendations for places to visit in the area with our dog. We would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing, just what I needed.

It was such a relaxing environment. The host was friendly and available when needed but not intrusive. The decor is modern and practical. The garden was beautiful despite the excessive heat of February. I hope to return in cooler months to laze in the hammock.

More than we could have asked for!

It's been a while since we have really felt so welcomed at a new place . The host was an absolute amazing host and went out of their way to make our stay amazing. We were welcomed with home-made smoothies and a room where you can see attention to detail was a priority. It has everything you need including an ironing board, hairdryer, 2-point plugs and even a lead to use (and that is not even mentioning the big TV with Netflix, the WiFi and just overall beautiful room). We have chosen this place since it is pet friendly and we were attending an event at a nearby hotel. Our three dogs were welcomed with open arms and our hosts even ensured us that it will be okay to leave our door open until we return so that the doggies don't need to be closed in for the whole night, which we did. And even if we didn't request it: the host sent us updates about the dogs during the evening just to ensure us that they are okay, which was more than I could have asked for! This was all and all such a great experience and we will definitely be visiting again and we will recommend this place to anyone that wants to visit the area. .

Country living at its finest.

Blissful Garden Cottage is such a gem. It is incredibly beautiful, especially in the evening when I was sitting in the fabulous braai area surrounded by the wonderful sounds of little pond creatures. Vin is a wonderful host who will make you feel at home. The cottage is comfortable and cozy, and it's close to the local attractions and peaceful nature.

Pragtig! Spesiaal! En Vin is 'n uitstekende gasheer!

Ons oornag by Blissful Garden Cottage was so lekker en spesiaal! Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie met alles wat ons nodig gehad het en Vin is so 'n goeie gasheer. Hy het vir ons soveel inligting gegee oor waar om te besoek, wat om te sien, asook ekstra bederfies soos vars tiere, vars gemaakte smoothies, beskuit en suurlemoene van hul tuin. Dit het ons so spesiaal laat voel en ek sal beslis weer by hom bespreek!

Beautiful! Special! And Vin is an excellent host!

Our overnight stay at Blissful Garden Cottage was so nice and special! It's a beautiful little place with everything we needed and Vin is such a great host. He gave us so much information about where to visit, what to see, as well as extra treats like fresh tigers, freshly made smoothies, rusks and lemons from their garden. It made us feel so special and I will definitely book with him again!
