Modderfort is a small hiding place, where you can recharge your own batteries.
We had a wonderful stay, and everything we could have needed was within reach. Our hostess put a lot of effort into providing information in advance, getting firewood, and even delicious cookies on arrival. The beds are heavenly, and we slept so well. The two of us like to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the stay was perfect, with absolutely nothing to do; read a lot, slept and drank in nature from Modderfort's nice sitting terrace. The only criticism is that the shower drain was blocked for the duration of our stay, even after reporting it.

Unsafe.
[12/01, 20:17] Liz Meets: Hi Debbie we are home safe. Do want to inform you about a black man because he was there many times during the weekend or wanted to come in, yesterday found him at the gate, don't think he saw us on the porch and did see the door open and took his chance, before he could entered the gate I chased him away and this morning he was at the front door again, I went out the side door and chased him away again. Friday night there was also someone on the yard, I assume he was watching the house. Just wanted to let you know. Have a nice evening and week ahead. [12/01, 20:20] Debbie: Thank you very much for letting me know. His name is Van Rooy and he is a big annoyance. He is not entirely "nice" and also begs from visitors in town. Sorry about that!

The cottage looks exactly like the pictures. We just didn't realize it was going to be such an old house, but we were pleasantly surprised. It was really nice for us to stay there! Everything we needed and more. There were up to bottles of water to use if there was load shedding. And fine wood to get the fireplace going! I took many pictures and sent them to my family and friends. The most beautiful place!

Beautiful two bedroom house with garden.
The hostess was very friendly and gave us directions ahead of time, as well as where the key is kept. Check-in and check-out was very convenient. The house has 2 bedrooms each with a double bed and a beautiful "old fashioned iron kettle" the bed had good quality linen on it. There is a bathroom with a "slipper bath" toilet and a sink. Hand soap and cream were provided. There was also a shower in the garden. The kitchen was equipped with a stove, microwave and refrigerator. There was a large table to eat at inside if you didn't want to eat outside on the porch. The large porch was a nice place to hang out with 2 daybeds with beautiful colorful blankets and pillows. There was a large table and chairs on the porch where you could comfortably eat and hang out. There were lamps provided for load shedding. There was a braai area, just bring your own wood if you want to braai. There was no TV or WiFi. The garden was fenced and safe for pets. You could park your car next to the house. Oppidam Coffee Shop was a disappointment with "average" breakfast, would not recommend them. Make your own breakfast instead. We can recommend Modderfort for nice self-catering accommodation.

Modderfort is a cute place with a lot of charm. The stoep was very nice to sit and visit and view the town's things. The unit was well equipped with all the necessary accessories. The garden is very big for the children to play in. The place was clean and tidy. We did have a problem with the water pressure, but it was due to load shedding. But they were more than willing to make a plan for us, but it wasn't necessary. We wanted to experience the town of Rosendal and decided on Modderfort for our stay. Would feel free to recommend the accommodation.

P.S. there is a piquant mouse (with a house) in the garden. If you sit still enough it is the cutest little creature to watch! I think it's a girl mouse. Only girls are so organized!

Modderfort is a beautiful jewel in the tranquil village of Rosendal. The veranda is lovely to visit and the place is equipped with everything you need. One thing that is very important for guests to know is that there is no outdoor light at the braai area - so it is important to bring a lamp or head lamps for braai after sunset.
