Isolated cottage with mountain views.

Perfect location in the quiet outskirts of town with stunning views of the mountain from the patio. Well equipped and spacious cottage, everything in working order.

Baie lekker kuier huis, sal definitief weer gaan!

Dit was héérlik saam met ons 3 honde. Die groot erf is goed omhein, naby die wandelpaaie en plein. Die in- en uitboek het vlot verloop. Groot TV met al die kanale.

Very nice visit home, will definitely go again!

It was wonderful with our 3 dogs. The large yard is well fenced, close to the walkways and square. The check-in and check-out went smoothly. Big TV with all the channels.

Quiet and peaceful.

We had such an amazing time. The accommodation was centrally located and only a quick walk to the town square. The accommodation itself was cosy and comfortable. We had eagles and owls nesting nearby, which was a real treat. We had heaters and lots of blankets, so we were very cosy and comfortable. The only thing we struggled with was a tin opener and sponge. The fireplace chimney was also broken, so after a few hours of having the fire on, we had to air out the place.

Jesshil 's response

Hi Sinead, thank you for the feedback. We're delighted that you enjoyed the cottage. We have already fixed the fireplace, and we will buy a new tin opener, as a previous guest accidentally took ours back home. Thank you for making us aware of this, and we look forward to welcoming you back.

A pleasant retreat at Jesshil: convenience, comfort, and courteous service.

Jesshil offers convenient access to the town center, with Clarens Conservancy Trails just steps away. Our golden retriever thoroughly enjoyed the expansive garden and observing the surroundings from the deck. The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering needs, and both the bedrooms and living areas provide comfortable accommodations. While the addition of hand-washing soap in the bathrooms would further enhance the amenities, I do suggest that housekeeping pays closer attention to cleaning the showers to remove any insects, spider webs, and hair. Additionally, ensuring the cleanliness of the 'clean glasses' in the kitchen would be beneficial. Despite these minor concerns, our stay at Jesshil was delightful, and we would certainly choose to stay there again on future visits to Clarens. Furthermore, I must commend the efficient and friendly communication with the property owner. They graciously accommodated our request for a late check-out, which enabled us to fully enjoy the Clarens Conservancy Trails on our last day and return to the cottage for a refreshing shower afterward. Their flexibility greatly contributed to our overall positive experience at Jesshil.

Cottage was lovely and very well equipped. We had a lovely stay.

When collecting the keys around 13:15, the office was closed although the time frame for collection of the keys said 14:00 at the latest. Luckily, the friendly shop owner adjacent to the office managed to get hold of the lady before she left. We had an unforeseen visitor at the door, asking to wash the car, even though the motor gate was closed (not locked though).

Jul effektiwiteit het bygedra tot 'n heerlike kuier, dankie.

Heerlik en knus. 1 Of 2 klein ekstras sal bydra tot die bederf. Gaan beslis weer hier bly. Die klein stukkie grondpad na huis (dalk 10 m) is effe rof, maar moenie dat dit jou keer nie, die juweel van 'n huis is dit werd.

Your efficiency contributed to a wonderful visit, thank you.

Lovely and cozy. 1 or 2 small extras will add to the treat. Will definitely stay here again. The small piece of dirt road to the house (maybe 10 m) is a bit rough, but don't let that stop you, the gem of a house is worth it.

Restful.

The house is situated in a beautiful spot, the beds are comfortable and the showers have nice hot water and good water pressure. The porch is beautifully laid out with comfortable seating. The garden is very neat and the scenery breathtaking. Unfortunately, the toilets were leaking, the shower faucets and sink faucets were dripping and needed new rubbers. There is an obvious serious roof leak in the kitchen, the stove's plates are burnt ugly black and the kitchen is poorly equipped as far as cutlery is concerned. The cleaning services are not the best because the open kitchen shelves are full of dust and only the front sections are slightly dusted. The glasses and crockery on the shelves are dusty and some of the plates were plastered with old food. The kitchenware in the baskets needs a good wash and the exposed copper pipes are black with dust. . The house is very cute but needs maintenance and a good cleaning.

Vinnige wegbreek.

Verblyf was gemaklik, maar daar kan beslis aandag gegee word aan kleiner details. Geen seep of toiletsproei in badkamers nie, en die stort is of kokend of yskoud. Sodra jy aan die kouewater kraan raak, is daar geen warm water nie. Beslis ook nie pet friendly vir kleiner honde nie, want ons Jack Russell het uitgekom by die hek, want daar is 'n groot gaping, en honde op al die eiendomme rondom veroorsaak nogals 'n storie. As mens net verblyf soek vir een nag, is dit okay, maar vir langtermyn nie te ideaal nie. Die pad na die huis toe was 'n moddermassa, en kleiner voertuie sal vir seker vasgesit het. Dit was na baie reën/sneeu so, maar net iets om in ag te hou. Geen waslappies in die kombuis nie, en meeste items in die kombuis was vuil en baie vol stof ook.

Quick getaway.

Accommodation was comfortable, but attention could definitely be paid to smaller details. No soap or toilet spray in bathrooms, and the shower is either boiling or freezing cold. As soon as you touch the cold water faucet, there is no hot water. Definitely not pet friendly for smaller dogs either, as our Jack Russell came out at the gate, as there is a big gap, and dogs on all the properties around cause quite a story. If you're only looking for accommodation for one night, it's okay, but not too ideal for the long term. The road home was a mass of mud, and smaller vehicles would have been stuck for sure. It was like this after a lot of rain/snow, but just something to keep in mind. No washcloths in the kitchen, and most items in the kitchen were dirty and full of dust as well.

Lekker, maar kan beter.

Dit was nie sleg nie, maar baie klein details wat oorgesien was wat dinge dalk 'n bietjie gemakliker/netjieser/skoner sou maak. Verkieslik ook 'n hoë motor nodig aangesien die pad soontoe bietjie rof raak.

Nice, but could be better.

It wasn't bad, but a lot of little details that were overlooked that might make things a little more comfortable/tidy/cleaner. Preferably also need a tall car as the road there gets a bit rough.
