Relaxation for body and soul.
The Kingfisher cottage is on a beautiful farm, the surroundings are very beautiful. Cottage is safe and very comfortably furnished. There is no TV and radio, WiFi was available. Was able to properly shut down and rest. The farm is safe, there are many hiking trails. Vivian was very nice and helpful. Extra bonus was the outdoor hot tub - very special to sit under the stars in the hot water. Wonderful place.

Very peaceful weekend in nature - with some lessons on sustainability.
It was very impressive to see Vivian and Marco's farm with trout farming as a core aspect of sustainability. Although we were a little skeptical about the composting toilet, we are now convinced that it works excellently (without any sniffles!).

Self-maintaining in the true sense of the word, and the ideal "head cleaning" option.
Surprisingly different and the ideal place to clear your head. The house is excellently located and very well equipped, while the service is of a high standard. A bit far from the main road and not everyone will welcome the access route, but for the person who values comfort and seclusion it certainly won't be too much to ask. The only "negative" as far as we're concerned is the composting toilet. We understand the approach and what the goal is, but it won't be to everyone's taste. Nevertheless, we had a great time and wish Kingfisher all the best for the future.

Karoo at its best. Immeasurable stars. Silence.
Kingfisher Cottages was a real escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. This was Karoo at its best. All senses are enchanted. Sitting in a warm log fire bath when it's freezing cold, pitch black around you and the milky way so close, you feel your fingers can caress through it, then charges your batteries like few other experiences. Marco and Vivian were hospitable and their trout products, which you can buy on the farm, are of high quality. Go visit there, you know you want to!

Having a good time and the tranquility does wonders for one's soul. Also several birds to see. The hiking trails are certainly a plus with Annie, the farm dog as a guide, she is wonderful. The only negative point is the fridge/freezer is hopelessly too small, as well as there is only a fire pit and no braai drum or anything like that. Very uncomfortable to fry like that.

It is absolutely a gem of a place. The peaceful atmosphere and silence of only nature around you is all one needs to be able to relax. The unit where we stayed is spacious and wheelchair friendly and I, who am in a wheelchair myself, really enjoyed it and could do everything with confidence. I definitely recommend the place to anyone who just wants to have a nice weekend in nature and to all people who, like me, are in a wheelchair to go to the place.

It was a very nice and peaceful getaway weekend with our dogs and children. They were dying to run around in the open. The farm dog is so friendly and gets along well with our dogs. Was bitterly cold, but with the sofas open before the fireplace made up for it. The cottage is very neat and equipped. Owner was very helpful and friendly. The 4 of us will definitely visit again.

Blessed! Beautifully furnished accommodation on SA's first carbon neutral weekend farm.
Conveniently located just a 25 minute drive into Montagu's mountains. Beautiful rebuilt stone house, carefully furnished with everything you need and a lovely log fire. Long, well-marked footpaths in the valley and uphill make it easy to simply walk far and even climb up to explore a rare leopard karee tree resting place. The sustainability of the farm was built with ingenuity and a courageous passion and long-term vision. Trout and pecan trees grow side by side, and Marko and Vivian's energetic commitment to walking lightly on the planet is contagious.

Wonderful getaway spot in nature. We always look for places that allow us to bring our dogs. King Fisher Cottage is ideal because the yard is completely fenced, only one group of guest on the farm at ohne time, and the friendly farm dog befriended our dogs. We were able to relax completely and enjoy the quiet of nature. The little house is very neat and clean and has everything you need. All the windows have netting to keep out the insects so you get a peaceful night's sleep. Loved the tour of the trout farmand bought delicious fish products. We will definitly be back!

Beautiful setting, but experience not as expected.
At first glance, Kingfisher Cottage was idyllic. The house is very neat and spacious and the fireplace was very welcome. However, we were surprised that it is located right next to the main house because it appeared more secluded in the photos. This was not too bad for us, but our opinion changed on the first night. There is a generator that noises all night and there were mice on the roof and also inside the kitchen. The mice make a tremendous noise and if you like a mouse as much as I do it is impossible to sleep. There are also two large dogs that roam freely in your braai area and jump up at you when you are outside. The surroundings are beautiful and we enjoyed the hiking trails. But after the second night we couldn't wait to get to our own home. It was our first and our last visit here.
