Beautiful, calm and relaxing.

This cute and quaint cottage was perfect for me and my partner. The cottage is located right next to a small field where there are baby calves strolling around, and it was so pleasant to see. We enjoyed our stay at Bokmakierie Cottage very much, and we loved sitting on the patio and having dinner while looking at the beautiful garden and hearing the calves and crickets nearby. The host was really friendly, and we didn't have any problems regarding our stay.

A pleasant stay in a lovely cottage with a superb view and a pleasant host.

I enjoyed the warm, friendly hospitality. They kept in contact with me until I arrived, which was such a plus. The reception cannot be faulted. I had a delightful conversation with the owner, who enthused about McGregor. The accommodation was clean, neat and well-maintained. The only negative is the lack of secure parking for guests' cars. Having to park in the street is not what I believe any guesthouse should permit.

Our stay was lovely. Our doggies loved it and we were very close to a lovely walk.

Our host was great, full of info and always around to assist if we needed him. A concern is our vehicle parked in the street, always a bit stressful. The braai area, although advertised, was not an offering. When looking at the pics of this cottage, we were drawn to the lovely open area in front of the cottage, but this is the owner's garden and not part of the cottage at all. That is not clear in the pics at all. We were a little taken aback when we saw the actual garden area of the cottage. A little disappointing.

Bokmakierie Cottage 's response

Thank you. If necessary, you can park in my driveway, or if necessary, park in my garage. There is a Weber braai. The entire garden is available for use; we fence off the smaller area mainly for guests who bring dogs.

Pragtige, stil verblyf.

Ons het baie lekker hier gewoon al was dit net vir een aand. Martin was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, en het ons baie goeie raad gegee oor wat om te besoek. Die heuwel na die damme was 'n wennner met 'n pragtige uitsig. Die eenheid was ten volle toegerus vir ons behoeftes. McGregor is 'n rustige, stil dorp, perfek vir ontspanning.

Stilte, rustigheid, herlaai batterye.

Ons was aangenaam verras oor die rustigheid wat Bokmakierie gebied het. Ons wou batterye herlaai het en dis presies wat ons kon doen. Wens ons kon langer gebly het. Die plekkie is baie goed toegerus met alles wat mens benodig. Ons sal verseker terug wees. My enigste aanbeveling sal wees om dalk die matte 'n skoonmaak te gee. Alhoewel dit nie vuil was nie, het dit bietjie na "nat mat" geruik.

Silence, tranquility, recharge batteries.

We were pleasantly surprised by the tranquility that Bokmakierie offered. We wanted to recharge batteries and that's exactly what we could do. Wish we could have stayed longer. The place is very well equipped with everything you need. We will be back for sure. My only recommendation would be to maybe give the carpets a cleaning. Although it wasn't dirty, it smelled a bit like "wet carpet".

Rustig en sielskos.

McGregor is 'n baie mooi dorpie met 'n wonderlike rustigheid. Alhoewel dit koud was het ons lekker gebly, maar die gasgeiser se gas het ongelukkig opgeraak. Dit sou waardeer word indien die gasvrou ons self sou ontvang met ons aankoms maar die gasheer, Martin was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

I am puzzled, as I do not have a gas geyser. It is a very effective solar heating system with electrical backup if the temperature drops below 50. But thanks for letting me know and I will see if there is a fault in the system.

Skoon selfsorgeenheid op eienaar se perseel.

Ons was vriendelik ontvang deur die eienaar. Die selfsorgeenheid is op die perseel van die eienaar, agter sy huis op die erf. Ons het ons eie aparte ingang gehad. Die kar staan in die straat geparkeer, wat ver is na die eenheid. Dit is ongerieflik as jy baie goed het om af te laai of as dit dalk sou reën. Die eenheid was gerieflik en skoon vir 'n aangename verblyf. Daar was handeseep en handeroom in die badkamer. Tee, koffie en suiker was voorsien vir 'n enkele drink, en vars melk was in die yskas, asook ys. Die waaier in die eenheid het 'n bietjie gehelp teen die 34 grade warm weer. Parkering was in die straat, geen lig by jou motor nie, ook nie 'n koelteboom vir skadu nie. 'n Mens voel bekommerd oor die veiligheid van jou motor. Daar was baie muskiete, ten spyte van die eienaar se voorsorgsmaatreëls vir 'n muskietnet om die bed en 'n muskietafweermiddel in die muurprop. Bring doom saam. Jy kon in 'n Weber braai, bring net jou eie brikette saam. Daar is sitplek en 'n tafeltjie buite. Daar was gratis WiFi wat goed gewerk het. Ons het ons verblyf geniet, ten spyte van die klein ongerieflikhede.

Clean self-catering unit on owner's premises.

We were kindly received by the owner. The self-catering unit is on the owner's premises, behind his house on the erf. We had our own separate entrance. The car is parked in the street, which is far to the unit. This is inconvenient if you have a lot of stuff to unload or if it might rain. The unit was comfortable and clean for a pleasant stay. There was hand soap and hand cream in the bathroom. Tea, coffee and sugar were provided for a single drink, and fresh milk was in the fridge, as well as ice. The fan in the unit helped a little against the 34 degree hot weather. Parking was on the street, no light by your car, not even a shade tree for shade. One feels worried about the safety of one's car. There were a lot of mosquitoes, despite the owner's precautions of a mosquito net around the bed and a mosquito repellent in the wall plug. Bring doom with you. You could grill in a Weber, just bring your own briquettes. There is seating and a small table outside. There was free WiFi which worked well. We enjoyed our stay, despite the small inconveniences.

Lekker gekuier.

Veiligheid is 'n probleem aangesien gaste se voertuig in die straat buite die erf moet staan. Eienaar kan geringe verandering aanbring sodat voertuig binne erf agter 'n geslote hek kan staan. 'n Braaiplek (geboude of losstaande) sal ook 'n aanwins wees aangesien daar geen braaigeriewe vir gaste is nie.

Have a nice time.

Safety is a problem as guests' vehicles must park in the street outside the yard. Owner can make minor changes so that vehicle can be parked inside yard behind a closed gate. A braai area (built or detached) would also be an asset as there are no braai facilities for guests.
