Beautiful farm in the Elgin Valley. Our dog was welcome which was a big bonus. The hostess was so helpful and friendly. All information about the area was in the cottage and there is a coffee shop with breakfast and lunch on the farm. Lavender Cottage is the place to stay when visiting the Elgin Valley.

Beautiful setting, accommodation not suitable.
The surroundings and farm are beautiful. However, the cottage was dirty with cobwebs and mold everywhere. Even the curtains in the room were full of mold as well as some of the pots and pans. And then there is the audacity to ask for a tip to be left for the cleaners! This after I had already paid an extra cash fee for extra "cleaning" because I brought a dog with me (the cottages advertise that they are pet friendly). There were also rats/mice in the ceiling. The shower kept dripping and the bed is uncomfortable.

Simple, but all one needs and fits perfectly with the environment. Lovely fireplace and hot shower. Got enough wood for braai or fireplace. Great sleep and dead quiet with a nice porch to look over the valley. Pretty close to paddock if you need anything.

The cottage has a beautiful view and is blissful - you don't hear cars and rather nature which is nice!
The cottage just needs a little "TLC" - walls have mold inside, furniture in living room needs new pillow cases. Other than that everything was fine.

Reviews from previous guests are misleading.
Bad weather, poor communication and information that did not fully reach me before arrival soured the relationship right from the start. I don't believe the place is suitable for families with small children. Rather young married or retired.

This guest arrived in a bad temper.
He claimed he had paid the balance due, but that was not the case.
The guest also claimed that the security alarm was faulty and went off. We immediately got the security company in to check and it seemed his children were playing with the remote.
His wife also apologised for his behaviour.
Altogether an unpleasant and unnecessary experience

Very nice, neat cottage among the orchards.
The surroundings are wonderful and the location of these cottages is perfect to take advantage of the beautiful views of the valley and the tranquility of the apple orchards. There is a wonderful restaurant on the farm and many other options for wine tasting and dining in the area. The house itself is very nice and tidy with all the amenities one would need for a weekend getaway. It is not a luxury home with DStv and internet, but rather a farmhouse with only the basic amenities and a fireplace to let you switch off properly from the city's hustle and bustle. Wonderful place.

Lavender Cottages offer a great balance, rich in natural beauty that provides tranquility for the soul and a pulse of excitement with all that is available to do in the area. Karin's communication was fantastic and she was very helpful, from information about the area to help when the geyser gave trouble, 1,2,3. then it was sorted out, with an upgrade. Will go back again for sure.

As to security, the cottages have burglar bars, security beams outside, an alarm inside, a remote with a panic button, a security gate at the farm entrance, and an armed response doing duty driving around at night.

Excellent service from our hostess. Plekkie is beautiful and with basic equipment for accommodation. Our 10-month-old baby, who just started walking, was able to play happily on the lawn, and our wool baby explored the place to his heart's content without any danger or restriction. Looking forward to our next visit.

Small, but enough.
It's a very, very small cottage, but just big enough for a weekend getaway to get away from technology - there's no internet, poor signal, and an analog television that will soon have to be turned off. The kitchen is very small and only pretty big enough for one person at a time, so I think the idea is to eat out at the surrounding farms or even the new Deli on the farm. Still, we managed to cook and the kitchen is well equipped enough to roll out a Christmas dinner. The mini fridge is small, so frequent shopping adventures are necessary. The rest of the house is comfortably furnished and there is everything that is needed, but after a week the place started to feel particularly small. We were 3 adults, but I think a family with kids would do better in the long run. We took our dog with us and confirmed before we went that the cottage is fully fenced as you can't see it very well in the photos. Unfortunately the porch is open on both sides and the 'fence' will only be able to hold a horse. So we recommend that you feel free to take your dog with you if he is friendly (not like ours), can get along with the other farm dogs (not like ours), and listens when people call him (again, not like ours). It is indeed a beautiful farm and lovely to walk around between the apple and pear orchards. But we feel that the space and amenities do not justify the price over the Christmas season.

The well-maintained former laborer's cottage with the cottage garden offered us a beautiful view of the apple orchards and valley.
The fireplace with enough firewood for our 3 day stay was very welcome in the cold, wet weather and the silence with only bird sounds to disturb it was blissful!
