Needed a weekend getaway with a family member, the room was exactly what we needed to just sit around and chat, as well as have freedom to come and go as we pleased.

We had a very nice stay. The shower is not a pleasant experience; water backs up and the bathroom is completely wet. Tiles are not non-slip, so they slide easily.

Short attention span.
The photos are very misleading. It's dusty and the place definitely needs work, especially the bathroom. The location is very convenient. Just a pity about the fabric and work that has to be put into it. WiFi is so weak, can't be used. TV wouldn't work.

First room we stayed in did not have hot water at the sink in the bathroom. The second room we stayed in had no hot water when we got there. Coffee cups are very small. Parking space is very small for large vehicles.

All that is short is the shower's water pressure is not very strong and if it is "Loadshedding" there is a light flickering in the room where you sleep.

Net-net average.
There were no curtains in front of the windows in the kitchen or in front of the front door facing the single bed. So anyone standing outside can see into the room. The blankets had holes in them. The bedding was slightly stained and moldy in parts. The double bed itself was very comfortable and so were the pillows. The third bed is more suitable for small children and not for older persons. The hot water pipe in the bathroom is not connected to the sink, so if you are looking for hot water, it is either in the kitchen sink or in the shower. No one welcomed us and showed us where we slept. We only got hold of someone 30 minutes later to explain to us over the phone where we were sleeping. Provision was also only made for 2 people. We had to go shopping to accommodate the third person.

It's just a place to stay, not nice facilities.
To begin with, front view of rooms is not at all like in the photos, there are no photos of the bathroom which makes it very difficult to determine standard. The TV has no reception, there is 1, but cannot be used. Bathroom's rose cement floor is not nice at all without any mats, very unsafe if you are wet in the shower, (we couldn't shower at all, not a drop of water from the shower head). Our friend in the 2nd cottage's water sprayed the entire bathroom. The sink didn't have a plug. Bed is very low to floor.

The mattress was done and I reported it and asked for an exchange, they didn't do it. No DStv as advertised. TV connection was poor, hardly watched any TV. WiFi connection was poor, all the time interruptions. No braai facilities, only at the owner's part of the yard. I will not stay there again.

First impression was not good.
There is no information board indicating the position. The view in the photos is not the same as the actual place. At least I would like to be invited in at the front door rather than the back door (back gate). There was very limited parking and other guests had to move their vehicles (in their pajamas) so we could go out.

The presentation on the website creates a much better expectation. The reality is a disappointment.
3 ladies, we assume other guests, were making noise until 3am in the morning, even in front of our unit and I had to silence them myself. We got almost no sleep. TV didn't work, kept showing "no signal" on picture. Bed is uncomfortable and the base looks like it was cobbled together in the backyard. The breakfast is nothing to write home about. The two staff members we dealt with were friendly at least.

I have to give Cottage Guesthouse a thumbs up. The room was very nice and clean and everything is there that one could need, although the room had sleeping space for 3 people, there were only two of everything, but for us it was not a problem. We were out early and didn't come back until late. Our stay was really value for money. If we come back to Pretoria we will definitely consider Cottage again. Well done.

What you see is not what you get.
The units shown to us were definitely much weaker than those on the website. We did not get what we paid for. He said he saw us a close family and that he had 47 residential units. He wanted to give us something better. The other place does not belong to him, but to other people. I will not recommend him at all. We only realized later that the units he showed us were not what we paid for. If I knew how the places look, I'd never book there.
