Ag, sommer net lieflik en knus!

Baie lekker! Pragtige kothuis. Stone cottage was ons verblyf vir 2 nagte. Net die badkamerdeur kort bietjie liefde!

Lekke gebly op 'n pragtige en rustige plek.

Ons het baie lekker gebly in Mkomazana Mountain Cottages. Dit was buite seisoen en ons het die plek feitlik vir onsself gehad. Lekker Olimpiese spele in Mike's Barn gekyk terwyl die vuur langs ons knetter. Almal praat altyd van die skons in die oggend en ja, dit is absolute wow om daardie warm skons soggens te verorber.

Lekke stayed in a beautiful and peaceful place.

We had a great stay in Mkomazana Mountain Cottages. It was off season and we practically had the place to ourselves. Enjoyed watching the Olympics in Mike's Barn while the fire crackled next to us. Everyone always talks about the scones in the morning and yes, it is absolute wow to consume those warm scones in the morning.

Varsgebakte skons by jou deur, afgelewer deur die netjieste, vriendelikste dame.

Baie lekker! Net die badkamerdeur in die stenen huisie waar ons gebly het, is 'n uitdaging. Verder was ons verblyf heerlik!

Little to do, no information of places of interest in the area.

Out dated décor, no Wi-Fi / TV, kitchen lacks storage space, microwave not in a safe place to cook with, poor electrical installation. Magazines in the room out of date. Poor communal area, not kept very clean as well. Better value in other places to stay in the area.

The location was excellent as it was our intention to drive up the Sani Pass. My only negative would be the lack of connectivity at the Lodge. In today's world it is essential to be connected, be that for work or pleasure.

Rustige ouwêreldse verblyf in 'n goed toegeruste huis en pragtige omgewing.

Stone Cottage se ligging is privaat en die oop stoep bied genoeg sitplek vir heerlike kuiers. In die aand het die kaggel die ruim sitkamer snoesig verhit. Die kombuis - ook met 'n tafel en stoele in - is goed toegerus. Die warm scones en hout wat afgelewer word was 'n aangename bonus. Ons het Sani top op 'n sonskyndag beleef en ook lekker op die Mkomazana terrein rondgestap. Gaan Mkomazana Mountain Cottages toe as jy wil rus!

Quiet old-world accommodation in a well-equipped house and beautiful surroundings.

Stone Cottage's location is private and the open porch offers enough seating for lovely visits. In the evening, the fireplace cozily warmed the spacious living room. The kitchen - also with a table and chairs in it - is well equipped. The hot scones and wood delivered was a pleasant bonus. We experienced Sani top on a sunny day and also had a nice walk around the Mkomazana site. Head to Mkomazana Mountain Cottages if you want to rest!

Luilekker rustige verblyf.

Ruim en smaakvol gemeubileerde kothuis met warm kaggel wat die koue sommer gou verdryf het. Rustige plaas-omgewing met looppad in koppies. Heerlike, vars, warm gebakte skons word elke oggend afgelewer. Eienaar en sy vrou baie vriendelik en gesels baie lekker. Was regtig 'n rustige en stil vakansie.

Our fourth time there - we really love it. We are disappointed that we are now only allowed to book for a minimum of two nights (this did not use to be the case) - this makes it difficult and largely unaffordable.

A beautiful setting, comfortable accommodation, friendly people. Well worth the visit - and this was our fourth stay. We are disappointed, though, that a minimum of two nights' accommodation is required. This makes it difficult if you want a weekend break (and can only leave on Saturday morning), and, for us, financially demanding (the cottage we stayed in sleeps 6, which works out quite reasonable, but there's only 4 of us - and two nights pushes us over what we can really afford).

Beautifully, stunning cottage in a breathtaking location.

My wife and I stayed here for one night with our adult son and daughter with her husband. We just wish we could have stayed here longer. A fine cottage in a great location, surrounded by stunning scenery. The hosts were friendly and the freshly baked scones delivered to our door in the morning were delicious. If only we knew of the pub the evening before we would have enjoyed a nightcap before retiring for the night.

Rustig en asemrowende natuurtonele.

Hier kom jou siel en liggaam bymekaar. Fotograaf se droom! Bobbejane was 'n wesenlike probleem en is eers na die eerste onderonsie gewaarsku dat die vensters en deure moet toegehou word. Ek sou graag wil sien dat daar ordentlike tralies by die venster aangesit word sodat die vars berglug en geluide geniet kan word. Die vars gebakte skons elke dag is werklik 'n bonus.

Peaceful and breathtaking natural scenes.

This is where your soul and body come together. Photographer's dream! Baboons were a real problem and were only warned after the first altercation that the windows and doors had to be closed. I would like to see decent bars put on the window so that the fresh mountain air and sounds can be enjoyed. The freshly baked scones every day are a real bonus.

As jy net wil ontspan is dit die plek. Pragtige deel van die Drakensberge. Ou plaas atmosfeer. Wonderlik.

Ons het die stilte geniet. Weg van alles. Ons het ook die Sanipas opgegaan wat sommer daar is. Die oggendbotterbroodjies was baie spesiaal en heerlik. Betty en haar man is vreeslike oulike mense wat mens so tuis laat voel. Die warm komberse was natuurlik 'n bonus.

'n Wonderlike bestemming naby aan Sanipas!

Dit was heerlik om so vinnig by ons oornag bestemming vanaf Sanipas te arriveer. Dis letterlik die 1ste oornag opsie met die afkom. Coot kothuis is pragtig gelee en baie gerieflik ingerig met die mooiste uitsig oor die dam reg teenaan die huis. Die kaggelvuur was wonderlik op 'n baie koue aand wat tot onder vriespunt gedaal het. Ongelukkig was die 1 badkamer se warm water toevoer gevries die volgende oggend, maar kon ons wel die ander badkamer gebruik vir stort. Teen 8 vm is ons bederf met heerlike warm skons! Dit was 'n groot bederf. Ons sal graag weer daar oornag in die toekoms.

A wonderful destination close to Sanipas!

It was great to arrive so quickly at our overnight destination from Sanipas. It's literally the 1st overnight option on the descent. Coot cottage is beautifully situated and very comfortably furnished with the most beautiful view over the dam right opposite the house. The log fire was wonderful on a very cold evening that dropped below freezing. Unfortunately, the 1 bathroom's hot water supply was frozen the next morning, but we could use the other bathroom for a shower. By 8 am we were treated to delicious hot scones! It was a huge treat. We would love to stay there again in the future.

Did a 4hr hike up to the salt and pepper shakers and relaxed at the trout dam. Amazing scenery and bird life.. 3 new birds spotted!
