Tranquility.

We had a wonderful stay at Forty Winks. The units are spacious and provide enough space to keep one busy on rainy days. The kids loved collecting eggs and feeding the horses. The host was always at hand to sort out any issues that we had.

A peaceful stay in the Natal countryside.

Great views from the cottage. Friendly welcome from the host. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher and ironing board. Some charming period furnishings. There is a lot of space in the open-plan living and kitchen areas. A good shower and comfortable beds. On the negative side: The cottage needs a thorough cleaning. Maintenance needs to be done.

Our stay was peaceful and extremely relaxing.

I was there with my 7-year-old son and we felt safe and at home. The cottage is well-equipped and cozy. We appreciated the underfloor heating and fireplace. The host is so kind and attentive and present when needed. I really loved everything about the place.

Beautiful view! It makes the place.

Had a very nice stay! Peter is a very pleasant host who is willing to help. Daily cleaning service is recommended to be included in the price. Although the pond is a good 25 minute walk from the unit the catch was good.

Short stay-over after a business trip.

Wonderful experience. We notified Peter that we were going to be late on the evening of our arrival. Peter waited for us at the gate and escorted us to our cottage in the dark. We don't know the area very well, so it was good to know Forty Winks were looking out for us. The cottage, the views and the walks all exceeded our expectations.

Al my verwagtinge oortref. Pragtige omgewing.

Die verblyf was fantasties- die kothuis is baie goed ingerig, met al die nodige toerusting - koffie, tee, suiker, plaasmelk, eiers, braaihout, blitz, ens. Kon nie vir meer vra nie, en die gasvryheid is puik. En dan die landskap is absoluut asemrowend mooi. Goeie waarde vir geld. Alreeds by my vriende aanbeveel.

Exceeded all my expectations. Beautiful surroundings.

The stay was fantastic - the cottage is very well furnished, with all the necessary equipment - coffee, tea, sugar, farm milk, eggs, braai wood, blitz, etc. Couldn't ask for more, and the hospitality is great. And then the landscape is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Good value for money. Already recommended to my friends.

One of the most peaceful and tranquil places on Earth.

A beautiful and picturesque setting on a hilltop overlooking rolling hills and small trout dams. The self-catering farmhouse style accommodation is very tastefully decorated with every conceivable appliance, fixture, fitting and apparatus imaginable to ensure a warm and comfortable stay. The underfloor heating and central fireplace with abundant supply of wood is very effective and cosy. A variety of animals will greet you everyday on the doorstep of your cottage. Nothing negative at all to say about this place.

Little piece of heaven on earth!

Loved our stay at Forty Winks! Accommodation was perfect, with the most amazing views of the Spring Grove Dam, the surrounding farms, Forty Winks itself and Giant's Castle. Situated central and close to all tourist attractions etc. Perfect spot for picnicking next to the dam, whilst the hubby was fishing! Serene atmosphere and take your surroundings in! We will definitely be back! Thank you Collin for your hospitality!

A true hidden gem.

A beautiful, serene and secluded getaway. Colin is an outstanding host. He made sure that we were lacking nothing. We arrived in the middle of a cold front, yet stayed warm indoors with the underfloor heating and plenty of firewood. The unit was spotless and luxurious, and the scenery was majestic.
