Everything you need to have a good stay.
Very nice stay. One night on the way home (Pretoria). Nothing more than this accommodation needed. Car is safe behind the gate. The house has everything you need and you can walk to restaurants etc. Wish we could have stayed there longer.

A massive disappointment.
No! Hd akk is one step better than a backpacker lodge. It's not how it looked on the website and it's not what I wanted to experience at all. A desolate place.

I don't easily give five stars to something or someone because it's perfect. I can't help but give Carrow Veld Cottage five stars. Everything needed is there. The place is spacious, clean and tidy. We will hopefully stay here a few more times in the future. Only age is catching up with us.

Very cute cottage. Would love to visit longer.
Attention can only be given to the en-suite bathroom. No bath plug - in searching for a plug I noticed that the bottom and sides of the bath had not been cleaned. (Cobwebs, dust). Both the shower and tub's hot faucets have no "H" markers on them. There is water damage on the top of the sink. There were biscuit crumbs on the "dressing table" in the master bedroom. The cleaning lady may just need to be informed.

Many thanks for your feedback. There is no bath plug as Graaff-Reinet is a water scarce area and often many people do not respect this and have extensively deep baths.
I will most definitely check on the cleanliness.

Luxury accommodation at a reasonable price.
From the street side the house looks cramped and simple, but what a pleasant surprise when you step inside. The house is luxurious, spacious, comfortable and well equipped (even a washing machine). Well located in a quiet area, just off the main street, and within walking distance of shops and attractions in town. Secure parking in the courtyard which has room for a few cars. Diane lives on a farm outside the town, but we met her ─ a very pleasant, friendly and helpful lady. I can highly recommend this accommodation. Tip: make sure you receive her thorough instructions for entering the premises by mobile phone (WhatsApp).

Our newborn baby and rufback traveled together, and with plenty of room and an enclosed play area, dog and baby were very comfortable at Carrow Veld Cottage.
We were kindly received and impressed by the spacious house and large yard where our dog could play while we unpacked, looked after the baby, grilled dinner and explored the heart of the beautiful town. The house is neat and fully equipped. The beds and bedding were very comfortable, even though there are only single beds. We will definitely stay here again.

It was the worst stay I have ever experienced since I booked through LekkeSlaap.
I was so disappointed when we were only granted a single room that forms part of a house. There is not even a fridge available and no privacy as the room is only separated by a door. What disappointed me more is the fact that the quote was changed at the last minute and we were not aware of the poor accommodation. I admit I should have read it in more detail but assumed it was going to be a full cottage and not just a room. I would appreciate it if you would bring this to the attention of the owner to prevent prospective guests from being so misled.

Hi Marie.
I really am sorry that you feel this way. As I very clearly explained in the quote when you enquired, I had a double en-suite room available. I also clearly advised that it had a coffee station but no kitchen. I most definitely did not change the quote at any time. The door between the 2 units is securely locked, so there was no need to worry. The unit with the kitchen had been booked out long before. My apologies for this horrible situation. Kind regards Diane Murray

Disappointed.
However, although Carrow Veld Cottage advertises itself as "pet friendly" this does not appear to be the case. I was informed that I had not pre-arranged with them, although I had clearly cleared this with LekkeSlaap ahead of time. Carrow Veld's information or their website is very misleading. Although you think you are booking the "cottage", you get a room with almost no self-catering equipment (eg no fridge). There is no privacy (only a door separates you from the rest of the guests booked in the actual "cottage"). The space is very limited. I didn't even stay there when I arrived, because of the inconvenience and booked a place at another guest house.
