Restful stay.

The cottage was in a beautiful location, remote but still within easy driving distance to Montagu. The cottage was simply but comfortably furnished, and the hammock was a lovely treat! Our host was a warm and welcoming person. Our dogs loved exploring and chasing the dassies. We look forward to coming back!

Veranda at its best in an authentic farm cottage.

The cottage is wonderfully preserved with paintwork that reminds me of childhood days. The veranda is spacious with great views. The braai place is adequate in a garden setting. The kitchen is well-equipped and the owner is hospitable and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Our second time and it was just perfect. The cottage, the friendliest people. I can only call it a piece of heaven on earth.

Doreen and her staff really make your stay so enjoyable. No wifi is the best thing during this relaxing time. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous surroundings with a cute cottage. Fireplace inside is a lifesaver in winter.

The host for this stay is lovely and very helpful in all regards. Be aware when travelling at night to this location as the road is very dark and there are animals without fences. Definitely worth it.

Idillies en sielsvernuwend.

My twee hondekinders en ek het vir drie nagte by Dew Cottage gekuier. Die feit dat daar nie selfoonsein is nie is 'n absolute wen as jy 'n breek nodig het van elke dag se verantwoordelikhede en eise. Doreen is die mees gasvrye mens en haar energie laat 'n mens dadelik ontspan en tuis voel. Die kothuis is ten volle toegerus en ons kon vir niks meer vra nie. Die omgewing is stil en die natuurskoon is asemrowend mooi. Dit was my tweede kuier by Dew Cottage en ek beplan om in die nabye toekoms weer daar uit te span.

Idyllic and soul renewing.

My two dog children and I stayed at Dew Cottage for three nights. The fact that there is no cell phone signal is an absolute win if you need a break from every day responsibilities and demands. Doreen is the most hospitable person and her energy makes you immediately relax and feel at home. The cottage is fully equipped and we couldn't ask for anything more. The environment is quiet and the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. This was my second visit to Dew Cottage and I plan to visit again in the near future.

Beautiful peaceful environment.

The cottage is situated in the most beautiful landscape. It is very peaceful and we could really relax on the porch. We went during the coldest, wettest week in winter and saw some snow up on the mountain which added to the fairytale experience, but summer would be just as amazing to be able to spend more time outdoors and do some hiking. The fireplace was a winner! The hosts are very helpful and friendly with all requests and make sure their guests are comfortable. I do think this is a very suitable cottage for families. The one bedroom doesn't have a bedroom door and the bathroom entrance is in this bedroom, so no privacy, I think it is ideal for families and very close friends. I am not sure if Wifi is available - we didn't even ask since we wanted a break from it. But there is no internet access on normal network if people are looking to be in a place where it is available.

Baie lekker ontspan en weggekom van als.

Dew Cottage het ’n baie mooi tuin. Ons het lekker gestap met kinders en honde. Laaste aand kon ons die sterre mooi sien! Het die Keisie-vallei bietjie verken en dis ’n baie mooi omgewing. Sal wil teruggaan en dit nog meer wil verken. Doreen is baie vriendelik, goeie gasvrou en ons het lekker met haar gesels. Sy bak ook die lekkerste muffins!

Superb weekend out in nature.

The environment is stunning and it so quiet on the farm. Time to load up your body's batteries and get food for your soul. The cottage is very neat and it has a beautiful 'stoep' where one can 'lekker kuier' while watching the beautiful mountains of the Keisie valley. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. On Sunday morning we were treated on delicious muffins baked by her, a kind gesture really appreciated by us. I will certainly come back and recommend this place for everyone who wants to find peace and leave the busy stressful city life.
