The house is amazing and we had a great stay. We slept there for 2 nights. The porch is large and open, you will never want to spend time anywhere else. Go visit the Merino Cottage!

What a wonderful pampering experience in a stylish Karoo home.
The house is more beautiful than on the photo version. Host lady and gentleman extremely nice and friendly. From the kitchen to the bathrooms, it is very stylishly equipped. The stylish simplicity and good taste are carried through to the finest detail throughout. Delicious home-baked treats and wood are provided. If you like silence, stars and pampering, this is the ideal getaway in the Karoo. Would definitely recommend and go back again.

Very high quality!
This is one of the cleanest, neatest and most characterful overnight stays you will find close to the N1 route. The road between Trompsburg and Philippolis and also between Philippolis and Colesberg is rough and full of potholes and I would recommend that it should not be attempted after sunset. Is it worth it considering the bad road? Definitely, the little extra time to drive carefully around the potholes is definitely worth it. No effort has been spared in detail to make the stay very special. Owners' hospitality and the unusually well equipped cottage where absolutely everything has been thought of. The cottage has good quality finishing and the equipment is in excellent condition. I mentioned that I would like to have a barbecue on arrival and a fire was already packed when I stopped there. The next morning before I drove, I went for a nice run to where I saw springboks grazing. You will certainly also be able to enjoy cycling there. Easily a place that warrants a two night stay. I would definitely stay there again.

It was 5 star accommodation and can recommend it.
The cottage is nicely and tastefully furnished. Host lady and gentleman very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Enjoyed delicious dinner and breakfast there. We regretted that we only stayed 1 night. It would have been nice to have been able to enjoy the tranquility and beautiful surroundings for a few days.
