Thank you Meryl, Mike and beautiful 4 legged Boris for making our stay so lovely, peaceful and comfortable.

Doris Cottage was a lovely experience. So clean and comfortable, beautiful garden setting and close to everything and everywhere we needed to visit. Highly recommended.

Goed toegerus, baie netjies en veilig. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Die fonteintjie se gekabbel kan soms in die nag pla.

Well equipped, very neat and safe. We enjoyed it very much.

The little fountain's babbling can sometimes bother you at night.

Relaxing.

The step to the bathroom could cause an accident, especially at night. Otherwise, an excellent stay. Nice people.

A most pleasant stay.

A beautifully-kept cottage, with all amenities available. Meryl was a wonderful host. This was our second stay and will surely be back.

Attentive but not invasive.

Mrs Guilfoyle is very kind and an excellent hostess. The cottage is immaculate and has everything you need. Beautiful view of the mountains and her lovely garden. Peaceful and quiet area near Cavendish.

Het plek bespreek as gevolf van terugvoer van ander gaste - kan sien hoekom Doris Cottage so uitstekende terugvoer kry.

Kon werk met gemak in die gastehuis, baie stil. Bonus, gastehuis word nie geaffekteer deur beurtkrag nie. Kan verseker aanbeveel.

Booked based on feedback from other guests - can see why Doris Cottage gets such excellent feedback.

Could work comfortably in the guest house, very quiet. Bonus, guest house is not affected by load shedding. Can definitely recommend.

My parents stayed there en route to their grandson's wedding.

Meryl was a very kind and accommodating host. She saved my 85 year old parents a trip into the unknown and bought them the yogurt they needed. She also made space for my car behind the security gate when we popped in to visit them. We sat outside in the little private garden with the iceberg rose in bloom. Most pleasant! The location of the cottage is a mere 6 min drive from Kirstenbosch. Ideal for my plant- and birdloving parents. Elderly, unstable persons who cannot see well should be extra vigilant of the step. I would definitely recommend Doris Cottage.

The photos are a true reflection of what you can expect.

We had a very comfortable stay. The room is spacious and well-equipped. The owner was very attentive and made us feel at home. The property is very central and was easy to get around. We will definitely stay there again and recommend Doris Cottage to our friends and family.
