Earth Cottage

Tino het ons hartlik ontvang. Earth Cottage het 'n heerlike rustige atmosfeer.

Earth Cottage is goeie bestemming in die Hemel en Aarde Vallei en die rustigheid maak dit baie spesiaal.

Ons het na 2 dae besluit om ander akkommodasie te soek, alhoewel ons vir 10 dae betaal het.

Die netheid en stortgeriewe was 'n totale teleurstelling.

Heerlike naweek.

'n Belangrike voorvereiste was goeie WiFi en selfoonopvangs en Earth Cottage het baie goed voldoen aan beide. Die cottage is ook baie naby aan die Hemel-en-Aarde-bergfietsroete wat baie gerieflik was.

Perfect getaway spot for a couple.

Earth Cottage is a rustic cottage on a smallholding that is located just a 5 minutes from the Hemel and Aarde Turn off. The cottage is part of the main house but totally private and we did not hear the owners at all. The large stoep with loungers and table was where we spent most of our time. On two days we hiked from the cottage to the top of the mountain where you can see the whole of Hermanus down below. The Cottage is conveniently located on one of the main mountain biking trails and we also made full use of the lovely trails. Die Plaaskombuis farm stall and restaurant is just 500 m walk from the cottage and we had a lovely breakfast there one morning. A point to note is that river water is used in the taps and it has a brownish colour. This did not bother us at all and actually added to the authenticity. The owners breed with horses and golden retrievers but the dogs were surprisingly quiet during our stay there.

Beautiful, peaceful and homely.

Everything was great, lovely place. The only negative comment I have, is that they are a lot of dogs, which is nice, but at the same time it worried us with the barking when we put our baby to sleep in the evenings. Thankfully she didn't wake up from the barking, but when the dogs barked it put us on edge. This only applies if you have a small baby.

A quaint cottage situated on a working family farm.

This cottage is located in the beautiful Hemel en Aarde valley and aptly named Earth Cottage. There were no surprises ie. the photos are reflective. The cottage was good value for the amount we paid. The owners are friendly and the farm is peaceful.

Baie rustig.

Wonderlike uitsig. Pragtige staproetes.

Die atmosfeer is heerlik en stil. Baie netjies en ontvangs was baie goed.

Ekstra beligting word benodig buite vir veiligheid. Los matte kan dalk vervang word, omdat daar getrip was oor hulle. Die stort het baie water gemors en was nat en glad.

Not quite what was described on website.

No stove or toaster. No secure parking. No view of vineyards. Steps down to cottage, dangerous and not suitable for older folk. No mention that MTN does not connect so no calls and that you need to use WhatsApp.

Fantastiese, stil gebied.

Het eintlik heerlik gekuier hoewel daar 'n paar goed was wat baie gepla het: Die stort is bo die bad maar die uitlaat is op die vloer wat sopnat is wanneer klaar gestort. Mens kyk uit op niks behalwe 'n digte bosheining. Geen kaste vir kruideniersware. Odd assortment van glase - niks is 4 van nie. Trappe na hoofslaapkamer is hopeloos te hoog. Spieëltafel in hoofslaapkamer sal 'n welkome byvoeging wees. Behalwe vir dit het ons heerlik gekuier. Stil met net die bloukransvoëls en perde as geselskap.

Interesting place.

Spacious, with an amazing patio area. Was perfect for our exploring the Hemel and Aarde Valley.

Very relaxed atmosphere in the vineyards.

Pleasant relaxed accommodation in the Valley, close to town, and away from the bustle in town. Lovely for walks in the countryside.

Needs a bit of TLC.

Beautiful setting and very peaceful location. Would be so much better if the undergrowth and fence were cut back so you could see the fields and horses from the veranda, it felt very closed in and dark. The roof leaked in the bathroom and by the door in the bedroom and it would be nice to have a shower curtain over the bath or a slip proof mat on floor! The steps down to the cottage could be made safer. Generally I felt the cottage needs a bit of an upgrade. I thought it looked tired and unloved!

Pragtig en die naam beskryf dit perfek, baie basies.

Baie mooi en oulik. Perfek vir diereliefhebbers met al die basiese benodighede. Enigste negatief is dat daar lekplekke is en het selfs in die bed natgereën en stoep is toegemaak so kan ongelukkig nie die mooi uitsig beleef nie. Sal beslis aanbeveel.

Pragtige ligging en rustige atmosfeer.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en het sommer vinnig tuis gevoel. My seuntjie is dadelik bekend gestel aan die vriendelikste perde en honde en hy was behoorlik in die hemel met die plaasgevoel. Alles was baie netjies en ons het behoorlik ontspan. As jy mountain bike ry, die roetes loop verby die cottage en dit is awesome mooi. Dit is ook net 10 tot 15 min se ry tot in Hermanus. Ons het dit baie geniet en sal enige tyd weer teruggaan. Baie dankie vir die eienaars se vriendelikheid en veral die moeite wat julle gedoen het om ons seuntjie so te laat tuis voel.

Super in alle opsigte!

Ons sal definitief terug wees! Hoogs aan te beveel in absoluut alle opsigte!

Voortreflike omgewing, ligging en die perde skep 'n rustige atmosfeer wat almal laat ontspan.

Ons verblyf by Earth Cottage was wonderlik en het aan al ons vereistes voldoen en selfs nuwe vereistes gekep! Die omgewing is pragtig en die akkommodasie voortreflik. Die kersie op die koek was die vriendelike verwelkomingskomitee wat ons elke dag kom groet het. Jammer Tino, maar ons 3-jarige seuntjie het vir die perde gestem as die beste deel van Earth Cottage, ten spyte van jul gasvryheid. Earth Cottage het vir ons die geleentheid gegee om te ontspan in 'n rustige omgewing, weg van die besige dorp, tog met die opsie om binne 15 minute by die see te wees en die magdom voortreflike restaurante in Hermanus te verken. Die beste van twee wêrelde.

Heerlik rustig en baie mooi omgewing. Die huis was goed toegerus en baie netjies en die mense is uiters vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ek sal beslis weer wil terugkeer na Earth Cottage, my kinders het dit baie geniet op die plaas!

Earth Cottage bied eenvoudige verblyf.

Earth Cottage is baie eenvoudige verblyf - moet nie te veel luukshede verwag nie. Die omgewing is pragtig. Die stoep is toegemaak met riete om die wind te keer.
