Uitstekend!

Ons het heerlik gebly. Sal beslis weer daar oorbly. Heerlik en 'n wonderlike, spontane kuier met die gasvrou.

Everything you would want during a weekend away.

Simply perfect. The hosts were amazing, made us feel right at home. Such a friendly, calm and relaxing environment. The unit was neat and clean, had backup power during load shedding. Tanya always recommended places we could visit during our stay. The breakfast was truly homemade and delicious. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

We will be back, for longer next time!

We had a lovely stay. The host and hostess are passionate about making your stay as comfortable as possible with so many special touches. The surroundings are so beautiful, you need more than a weekend to truly take it all in and unwind. The bar is quaint and welcoming, and the facilities are perfect for small group gatherings to celebrate a birthday or special occasion.

Heerlik en rustig gekuier vir 2 dae.

Baie lekker gebly. Dit is 'n pragtige plek, en die chalet het 'n mooi uitsig oor die rivier. Die gasvrou is vriendelik en maak 'n heerlike ontbyt.

Heerlike kuier!

Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Die gasvrou is besonders gaaf en het baie moeite gedoen om ons verblyf soos 'n kuier te laat voel. Dit is 'n mooi omgewing en ons het gaan stap langs die buisende rivier. Dis baie besonders om die rivier so te hoor! Ons het nie opgelet dat die gastehuis op 'n sandpad 'n ent uit die dorp is nie en het nie die afstand 'dorp' toe in ag geneem met ons reisbeplanning nie. As mens eers daar is, wil jy nie weer terugry nie. Ons sou graag eerder by die gastehuis wou aandete geniet, maar ons het 'n baie meer bilikke opsie gekies deur by Rawsons Hotel te gaan eet in Notties - 'n aanbeveling! Die volgende oggend se ontbyt by Hawkley was uitstekend.

Have a great visit!

We had a great time. The hostess is particularly nice and made a lot of effort to make our stay feel like a visit. It is a beautiful setting and we went for a walk along the bubbling river. It's very special to hear the river like that! We didn't notice that the guest house was on a sandy road some way out of town and didn't take the distance to 'town' into account in our travel planning. Once you're there, you don't want to go back. We would have liked to have dinner at the guest house instead, but we chose a much cheaper option by eating at Rawsons Hotel in Notties - highly recommended! The next morning's breakfast at Hawkley was excellent.

Salige rustigheid.

Hawklee Country House is perfek vir 'n rustige naweek ver weg van die stad. Dit is egter net so 15 km weg van Nottingham Road se besienswaardighede en restaurante. Ons het die natuur vreeslik baie geniet en die pragtige wandelpadjies langs die Lion's River maklik gevolg. Boonop het die weer lekker saamgespeel en ons kon lekker ontspan en voëlkyk. Tanya en Sean was onsettend gasvry en dit het gevoel asof ons by ons ouers se huise ingestap het. Hulle het vreeslik baie moeite met ontbyt en aandete gedoen en dit was absoluut heerlik! Ons was baie hartseer om te ry, maar ons sal beslis terug wees.

Blissful tranquility.

Hawklee Country House is perfect for a quiet weekend away from the city. However, it is only about 15 km away from Nottingham Road's attractions and restaurants. We enjoyed the nature very much and easily followed the beautiful walking paths along the Lion's River. In addition, the weather cooperated and we were able to relax and bird watch. Tanya and Sean were unfailingly hospitable and it felt like we were walking into our parents' homes. They put an awful lot of effort into breakfast and dinner and it was absolutely delicious! We were very sad to leave, but we will definitely be back.

Private little piece of heaven.

Tanya and Shawn were fantastic hosts and made us feel at home on arrival. Comfy beds and a very private room were much appreciated. We had a wonderful Christmas lunch with very tasty home-cooked food. We would strongly recommend Hawkley Country House to our friends and family and will be back soon.

Superb setting, comfortable cottage and wonderful hosts.

Hawklee Country House has a charming old-world feel about it, with a wonderful outlook over a meandering stream below. Tanya and Sean are wonderful hosts who make you feel right at home. The cottages are very comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The food may be home-cooked and hearty, but it is certainly a pleasure to eat. Breakfasts are not the usual bacon and egg but are well thought out and very tasty. The Irish home pub, is just that, with a selection of fine Irish Whiskey and the obligatory Guinness. All in all a great place for a wonderful weekend in the Midlands.

Die eienaars was ongelooflik vriendelik en het ons sommer onmiddellik laat tuis voel!

Ons het die pragtige uitsig vreeslik geniet, die kamer het regtig so lekker geruik en daar was selfs ietsie spesiaal vir ons gereël omdat ons, ons eerste aand op wittebrood was. Die ontbyt was ook sommer baie lekker en ons het baie gehou van die ligging van die plek! Ons beveel hulle graag aan vir enige iemand.

The owners were incredibly friendly and made us feel at home immediately!

We really enjoyed the beautiful view, the room really smelled so nice and there was even something special arranged for us because we were on our honeymoon on our first night. The breakfast was also really nice and we really liked the location of the place! We are happy to recommend them to anyone.

Dit was 'n absolute "home-away-from-home" ervaring!

Sean en Tanya is ongelooflike mense wat nog omgee vir hul gaste. Dit voel of jy by familie was. Die kos was absoluut fantasties en die aandag wat aan die kleinste detail gegee word maak dit 'n wonderlike ervaring. Sal beslis weer en weer en weer gaan.
