A great place to stay.

The host was welcoming. We arrived late, but he made arrangements for us to pick up the key from another place.

‘N ware Pelgrims ervaring.

Ons het dit regtig baie geniet om in Mona-kothuis te bly. Die dorpie se ouwêreldse atmosfeer het ons onmiddellik welkom laat voel en ons regtig deel van sy ryk geskiedenis laat voel. Die kothuis is uiters gemaklik met alles wat mens nodig het vir 'n sorgvrye verblyf. Die kombuis is goed toegerus, wat dit maklik maak om self etes voor te berei as jy verkies om in te bly. Ons het ook 'n paar uitstappies na Graskop en Hazyview gemaak vanaf Pelgrimsrus, en die rit was vinnig en eenvoudig. Die ligging van die kothuis is dus ideaal vir diegene wat die omliggende area wil verken. Die enigste raad wat ek vir toekomstige gaste kan gee, is om daarop te let dat byna al die restaurante in Pelgrimsrus teen 16:00 sluit. As jy vir aandete wil uitgaan, is die Royal Hotel 'n goeie opsie, anders kan jy self voorsiening maak vir ete in die kothuis. Dit is 'n wonderlike plek vir 'n rustige wegbreek en om die geskiedenis van die dorp te beleef. Ons sal beslis weer terugkom!

A true Pilgrim experience.

We really enjoyed staying in Mona cottage. The village's old-world atmosphere immediately made us feel welcome and really made us feel part of its rich history. The cottage is extremely comfortable with everything one needs for a carefree stay. The kitchen is well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals yourself if you prefer to stay in. We also made a couple of trips to Graskop and Hazyview from Pilgrimsrus, and the drive was quick and easy. The location of the cottage is therefore ideal for those wishing to explore the surrounding area. The only advice I can give to future guests is to note that almost all the restaurants in Pilgrimsrus close by 4pm. If you want to go out for dinner, the Royal Hotel is a good option, otherwise you can cater for yourself in the cottage. It is a great place for a peaceful break and to experience the history of the town. We will definitely come back again!

Pragtig, veilig, waarde vir geld.

Ek, my man en ouers het heerlik gebly. Die omgewing is pragtig en die cottage se dekor is so mooi, 'n kombinasie van oud en modern. Die gasheer was fantasties en het ons baie welkom laat voel. Ons het voor die tyd geweet daar is nie 'n sit/TV kamer nie, so ons het heerlik gekuier op die stoep of by die tafel in die voorste tuin en lekker gebraai. Sal definitief weer gaan kuier by die cottage. Dit was ook heelwat groter as wat ek oorspronklik verwag het. Dit is stil, veilig en pragtig.

Beautiful, safe, value for money.

Me, my husband and parents had a wonderful stay. The surroundings are beautiful and the cottage's decor is so beautiful, a combination of old and modern. The host was fantastic and made us feel very welcome. We knew ahead of time that there was no sitting/TV room, so we had a great time on the stoep or at the table in the front garden and had a nice barbecue. Will definitely visit the cottage again. It was also much larger than I originally expected. It is quiet, safe and beautiful.

Pelgrimsrus is nog sy goud werd.

Wat 'n plesier om by Mona Cottage te gebly het. Mike was hulpvaardig en baie vriendelik en het alles mooi uitgewys. Hulle het selfs my hondtjie tuis laat voel met 'n pakkie treats. Baie netjies, warm atmosfeer en uitgerus met alles wat nodig was. Hulle het tot voorsorg getref vir loadshedding. Dis stil en rustig en ons het nooit onveilig gevoel nie. Baie lekker gekuier, julle sal ons vorentoe weer sien.

Pilgrim's Rest is still worth its weight in gold.

What a pleasure it was to stay at Mona Cottage. Mike was helpful and very friendly and pointed everything out nicely. They even made my little dog feel at home with a pack of treats. Very tidy, warm atmosphere and equipped with everything that was needed. They took precautions for loadshedding. It's quiet and peaceful and we never felt unsafe. Have a great time, you will see us again in the future.

Uitstekende diens van die eienaar. Hy was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Die gastehuis is pynlik netjies en skoon. Daar is meer geriewe as waaraan ons by ander gatehuise gewoond was. Hy het ons vriendelik bygestaan en ook raad oor die ongewing gegee.

Excellent service from the owner. He was very friendly and helpful.

The guest house is painfully neat and clean. There are more amenities than we were used to at other hole houses. He kindly assisted us and also gave us advice about the accident.

Wonderlike kuiertjie.

Mona Cottage het ons so beīndruk, daar is nie te veel wat ons meer kan sê nie. Die eienaar was baie behulpsaam, het ons 'n toer gegee en het baie nuttige informasie oor die dorp gedeel - hy is ook 'n kenner van formaat as dit by die geskiedenis van hierdie dorp kom. Ons het ons tyd daar baie geniet en sal absoluut weer gaan.

Mona Cottage impressed us so much, there is not too much more we can say.

We really enjoyed our time there and would absolutely go again.

Rustig en nostalgies.

Ons is 'n jong gesin met 4 kinders. Die eenheid is goed toegerus met baie mooi, ou stylvolle meubels. Jy het slegs nodig om jou klere in te pak, die res word als voorsien. Mike, die eienaar, het baie mooi na ons omgesien en is ook die persoon om te vra sou jy iets oor die dorp wil weet.

We are a young family with 4 children. The unit is well equipped with very nice, old stylish furniture. You only need to pack your clothes, the rest is already provided. Mike, the owner, looked after us very well and is also the person to ask if you want to know anything about the town.

Wonderful family break. So relaxing. Central for day outings.

Clean and well-appointed cottage. Extremely comfortable beds and great bathrooms with plenty of hot water. Great location. My only recommendation would be a few comfortable, well-padded camping chairs that could be used outside or inside, given that there is no lounge.

Lovely furnishings, but no comfortable chairs. We used our deck chairs!

Enjoyed the stay - had a few issues. 1) The cottage smelt very musty and the en-suite bathroom had a dehumidifier running. The shower and surrounding wall had visible damp and mould problems. The second bathroom had no ventilation, as the window has been screwed closed. The kitchen and dining room windows were also screwed closed. If mesh screens were fitted to all windows, they could remain open and get rid of the musty odour. 2) The toilet paper provided was poor quality, 1-ply, not 2-ply as expected in a four-star establishment.

Hoogs tevrede!

Mona Cottage is baie karaktervol, maar ook smaakvol gemeubileer. Alles was silweskoon en die gasheer was baie behulpsaam met versoeke. Uitstekende ligging, stapafstand na die ou hotel en ook die ander besienswaardighede in die dorp. Van hier af kan jy die hele area besoek.

A wonderful opportunity to stay right in the little village of Pilgrim's Rest and feel like a resident.

Mona Cottage has been wonderfully renovated and the décor takes you back in time. The cottage has all one needs and is so well located to explore Pilgrim's Rest and the wonderful sites in the area, like Graskop, Hazyview and even Kruger Park. Well worth a visit.

Pragtige cottage.

Beste verblyf op Pelgrimsrus. Sal definitief weer hier kom bly. Dis net baie jammer daar is nie 'n sitkamer nie. Daar is nêrens om op te krul met 'n boek of glasie wyn nie, behalwe op die bed of die eetkamerstoele nie. Sonder 'n gemaklike bank en 'n koffietafel ontbreek daai ietsie wat dit 'n huis maak. Ek sou sê een van die voorste kamers moes 'n sitkamer wees. Verder is dit puik akkommodasie met pragtige meubles, 'n lieflike kombuis en gemaklike beddens.

Beautiful cottage.

Best accommodation on Pilgrimsrus. Will definitely stay here again. It's just too bad there isn't a living room. There is nowhere to curl up with a book or glass of wine except on the bed or the dining room chairs. Without a comfortable couch and a coffee table, that little something that makes it a home is missing. I would say one of the front rooms had to be a living room. Furthermore, it is great accommodation with beautiful furniture, a lovely kitchen and comfortable beds.
