The stories those 2 salamis can tell.
We were very skeptical when we walked in, especially when we were given the directions to the shower. But - we had a lovely shower. Everyone had plenty of hot water. Our hostess brought us electric blankets because it had been very cold weather, but they were hardly even needed. Everyone agreed that they had a great night's sleep. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and best of all was our little gift waiting on the table. Unfortunately we had to check out earlier and we forgot 2 salami rolls in the fridge. Wouldn't have been a huge damage, but they had toured together from Rome and we were looking forward to eating them. Made sure the courier got them the next day. Yes, laugh. It was really very considerate of her.

Cozy, cold.
The cottage is an old wooden and brick house which was quite well equipped. All the beds were comfortable with fresh, clean linens. The living room has a lovely big fireplace which was definitely a saving grace against the biting cold! We also like other reviews had an interesting time with the shower. A few of us have taken lovely hot showers and then the next person is surprised with a cold shower. The gas geyser had a will of its own. Outside is a lovely covered lounging area with a "firepit". Unfortunately it was too cold to take advantage of the opportunity, but would be lovely on summer evenings.

We really enjoyed it because it was in town, but with a farm atmosphere.
It's a neat cottage that can accommodate about 8 people. Everything we needed was there. Provision has been made to alleviate load shedding. There is also a gas stove to boil water, a fireplace with wood so we could sit and watch the flames. Very cozy. The bed, bedding and bathroom equipment were great. The only criticism is that the floor is not at the same level everywhere, which is troublesome for us as elderly people. Outside is a lovely braai and relaxation area.

Old house which is in nice area.
It's an old wooden house with many antiques. Unfortunately there is only 1 bathroom which makes it difficult with a house full of people. We also had a lot of trouble getting water through to take a shower. It was also terribly cold at that time and there is no heating in the cottage, apart from the nice fireplace in the evenings. There are also no electric blankets. The kitchenette is well equipped, but unfortunately the sink area is so small that only 1 person can stand there. I think with some necessary changes and renovation it could be a very nice stay.

The stoep room has quite a lot of open spaces between the roof and wall which makes it cold. The sink is welded with wood and is also very cold. there is no door to the kitchen to keep out the cold.

Nostalgia.
In the photos, one cannot see that the house is built of wood. Not a problem but was quite hot when we arrived. We immediately turned on fans and opened windows which brought relief. Cottage is comfortable and clean. Decor from the past gives you the delicious nostalgia of days gone by. Has everything needed. Beds are comfortable. Lovely area where you can sit outside and pond in which children can swim.

Good for 1 night's sleep, but:
I just think that the house should have different rates for less guests. Compared to the rest of the town and the vintage cottage it is quite expensive. I think the description should say that it is an older building as well as the interior. But the fireplace logs were welcome (cold December night). The bedding is nice, towels preferably white or light.

Detached house on large plot with outside braai area, table on the porch. The house itself is full of character and it feels like you have come to visit grandma. We were six people and never felt like we were stepping on each other's toes. Only issue, there was no hot water. Geyser is on at the power board, but nothing at the faucet.

The location was perfect and the stay very nice. It just needs some repairs as we thought it was a bit expensive compared to the other places.
The tranquility of the surroundings was wonderful and we had a great barbecue in the indoor barbecue which was nice because it was very cold at night. The back door is broken and the wind comes through and the back wall of the kitchen's laundry room is made of slanted boards and openings in between so it is very cold. Furthermore, everything is neat and clean.

If you want an old barnyard with 1940's furniture and dusty carpets with spiders everywhere this is just the place for you. Hostess very friendly at reception, but no service afterwards. The TV doesn't work at all and I kept asking the hostess to fix it which never happened. I never felt safe in the cottage because it is isolated and there is no alarm or security doors.

It's like visiting your grandmother.
Cecilia's Cottage is among the wealth of Namaqua flowers and lilies. No matter which direction you look, you are greeted with flowers. The accommodation is old world. This is Grandma Cecilia's house and everything is as it was in her time ─ the furniture, crockery and cutlery, but it is clean and comfortable. The fireplace was a particular asset with the sudden cold weather. We had a great stay, but if you like a more modern setup, this is not for you.
