Beautiful, relaxing, tranquil.

Absolutely beautiful. Loved the little touches (milk and farm bread) delivered every morning. So enjoyed making our own wood-fired pizzas inside. Supplied more than enough wood. The house was clean and tidy when we arrived. Will definitely be back. Loved the hot tub. Only pity the weather was so cold, but that has nothing negative to do with this lovely place.

Awesome will definitely be back, with my kids.

Ons het ons 29ste huweliks herdenking daar gevier, my man was versot op die plek. Alles was great van die pizza oond, binnebraai, buitebraai, hot tub, genoeg droë hout vir al die braaigeleenthede en hot tub stook, die elektroniese komberse op beddens. En die beste daai vars plaasmelk en broodtjie elke oggend 7:00 in die spesiale posbusdeurtjie, love dit. Hulle het ook 6 eiers en plaasbotter voorsien. Asook koffie, tee en beskuit. Ag nee, ek sal more weer daar gaan bly, ons beste herdenking in 29 jaar. Tops.

Awesome will definitely be back, with my kids.

We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary there, my husband was obsessed with the place. Everything was great from the pizza oven, indoor grill, outdoor grill, hot tub, enough dry wood for all the grill events and hot tub stove, the electronic blankets on beds. And the best is that fresh farm milk and bread every morning at 7:00 in the special mailbox door, love it. They also provided 6 eggs and farm butter. As well as coffee, tea and biscuits. Oh no, I'll be staying there again tomorrow, our best anniversary in 29 years. Tops.

Wow, you booked this place for my parents. They could not have spoken enough about the place.

They were really pleased with the freshly baked bread and milk in the morning. The only thing was that the jacuzzi was not the bubble one but rather a hot tub.

Baie lekker vakansie gehou.

Sal definitief weer teruggaan. Mooi omgewing. Rustig. Lekker wegkom van die besige lewe.

Rejuvenation for the soul.

What an amazing and beautiful place that is set in a mountain pass. . What's to love? Privacy. spacious cabins set apart where we all enjoy the views without infringement of space. Wood-fired hot tub. Sunrise and moonrise over the hills. Outdoor braai. indoor fireplace and pizza oven. Fresh bread (still warm) and milk delivery every morning. No TV and Wifi. We truly needed a break to stop. pause. reconnect as a family and just enjoy the stillness life can offer. I kid you not, my two children did not miss the TV. We spent so much time in the hot tub. from 7 am dips to 8 pm dips. If you go on a weekend stop at the Elgin railway market. Hermanus is a stone's throw away and a must-visit if you have kids is the Cornelskop Animal Farm.

Uit en uit die moeite werd.

Pragtige uitsig! Baie netjies en alles is daar wat jy benodig. Lekkerste plek om te rus, rustige omgewing. Pizza oond en Jacuzzi 'n absolute wenner. Heerlike varsgebakte brood en vars melk elke oggend was 'n lekker bederf. Genoeg hout, wat wil mens meer hê.

Totally worth it.

Beautiful view! Very tidy and everything you need is there. Nicest place to rest, peaceful environment. Pizza oven and Jacuzzi an absolute winner. Delicious freshly baked bread and fresh milk every morning was a nice treat. Enough wood, what more could one want.

Die verblyf was goed, die vars melk en brood soggens was baie lekker en die hot tub het die kinders baie geniet.

Voorstel: Dakwaaiers of aircon vir die twee kamers a.g.v. die huisie wat bedompig raak binne in die somer tyd. Voorstel: Die miere was die eerste oggend oorweldigend oor die kombuis en selfs in die beddens deur die nag, sit dalk ant traps uit op 'n gereelde basis om te help daarmee.

The accommodation was good, the fresh milk and bread in the morning were very nice and the children really enjoyed the hot tub.

Suggestion: Roof fans or aircon for the two rooms due to the house that gets stuffy inside in the summer time. Suggestion: The ants were overwhelming the kitchen the first morning and even in the beds through the night, maybe put out ant traps on a regular basis to help with that.

Uit en uit die moeite werd! Genoeg hout, 2 braaie, pizza-oond, Jacuzzi met 'n mooi uitsig, selfs vars gebakte brood en melk elke oggend! Wat meer wil mens hê?
