Affordable simple living.

Simple cottage but with all the necessities for a comfortable stay. The only thing that could be improved is a new braai, as the current braai is way past its design lifetime, but we still managed to cook and enjoy a meal.

Enjoyed our stay. Left our umbrella behind, which was rather sad.

We enjoyed ourselves. It would have been more friendly if wood for the fire had been provided, given the cold weather and only a blow heater working in the lounge.

Skoon en lekker verblyf.

Baie lekker plek met alle geriewe. Braaiketel moet beslis vervang word saam met die braairoosters. Sal verkies dat daar merkers aangebring word op die alarmknoppie wat elke drukknop doen. Die alarm het probleme gegee en kon nie afgesit word nie. Ek het toe maar die alarm se toevoer afgesit. Die stort kort wel aandag met 'n lek na buite sowel as 'n bietjie aandag aan die binnewande wat opknapping benodig.

Clean and nice stay.

Very nice place with all amenities. Braai kettle should definitely be replaced along with the braai grills. Would prefer markers to be placed on the alarm button that each push button does. The alarm gave problems and could not be set off. I then just turned off the alarm's supply. The shower does need attention with a leak to the outside as well as some attention to the interior walls which need renovation.

Very nice. Quiet and peaceful.

The cottage has everything you need and is well located in a quiet area. Some maintenance issues need to be addressed, such as the damp walls and painting, but overall very nice and well suited for people visiting the Drakensberg as there are a number of activities in the area.

Baie rustige omgewing en ligging, het baie lekker rustige nagrus gehad.

Die braaigeriewe is beskikbaar, voorsien asb. net draadborsels en skoonmaakgeriewe vir braaier. Julle moet die dak seël: daai pragtige meubels het sop nat gereën en ons moes dit skuif om nie nat te word nie. Meer inligting kan verskaf word oor die omgewing en besienswaardighede. Sal beslis weer daar oorslaap.

Very peaceful environment and location, had a very nice peaceful night's rest.

The braai facilities are available, please provide. only wire brushes and cleaning facilities for braai. You have to seal the roof: that beautiful furniture got wet from the rain and we had to move it to avoid getting wet. More information can be provided about the surroundings and attractions. Will definitely stay there again.

Moya Cottage het voldoen aan die basiese vereistes wat ons benodig het. Oulike plekkie in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Die fasiliteite was voldoende vir 'n 2-ster gradering. 'n Paar ekstras soos bedlampies in die hoofslaapkamer en 'n rakkie of tafeltjie in die badkamer om badtassies op neer te sit, word sterk aanbeveel. Andersins was die plek heeltemal reg vir ons behoeftes. Die kommunikasie met die gasvrou was voldoende en effektief. Ons het lekker gekuier en vuur gemaak in die kaggel, aangesien die weer koud en reënerig was. Ek sal Moya Cottage met graagte aanbeveel.

Moya Cottage met the basic requirements we needed. Cute little place in a beautiful setting.

The facilities were adequate for a 2-star rating. A few extras such as bedside lamps in the master bedroom and a shelf or table in the bathroom to place bath bags on are highly recommended. Otherwise the place was perfect for our needs. The communication with the hostess was sufficient and effective. We had a good time and made a fire in the fireplace, as the weather was cold and rainy. I would happily recommend Moya Cottage.

Die huisie was presies wat ons verwag het, behalwe dat daar ekstra warmwatersakke, elektriese komberse en hout vir die kaggel was (dit was 'n wonderlike verrassing). Daar was waterprobleme op die dorp, maar daarvoor was ook voorsiening gemaak en die eienaar was beskikbaar om te help.

Baie teleurgesteld in alle opsigte.

Die eenheid is baie verouderd en het baie opknapping nodig. Die verf dop af van die mure en die plafonne is vol mufmerke soos die dak gelek het. Oor die algemeen is die plek glad nie netjies nie. Die bure se doef-doef-musiek het ook van vroeg tot laatnag aangehou.

Very disappointed in every way.

The unit is very outdated and needs a lot of renovation. The paint is peeling off the walls and the ceilings are full of mold marks as the roof has leaked. In general, the place is not tidy at all. The neighbors' doef-doef music also continued from early to late at night.

Relaxing and refreshing.

What a lovely little cottage. A bit cold when you walk in, but once the fireplace gets going, warm water bottles get filled up (such a lovely touch) and a bottle of some nice wine gets opened it really does become warm and cosy. It was very clean, tidy and had all the basics you could require for a braai, home cooked meal etc. A lovely affordable little cottage for those looking to escape to the cool, clean, fresh and crisp mountain air.

Alles wat jy nodig het om gerieflik te bly weg van jou huis af. "Home away from home"

Die selfsorg-gereedskap was volledig. Hulle het lekker gemaklike stoele en volledige TV, 'n lieflike bed, ons het lekker geslaap. Daar is 'n kaggel met hout beskikbaar. OB Sjerrie was ook beskikbaar. Daar is lekker plek vir die kinders om te speel. Daar was wel een probleem: Die warm water se gasbrander was foutief (lyk my dit was al so vir 'n paar dae) en ons het kort-kort koue water gekry. Die eienaar het laat weet die volgende dag dat 'n tegnikus wel die probleem gaan uitsorteer.

There is a nice place for the children to play. There was one problem: The hot water gas burner was faulty (I think it had been like that for a few days) and we got cold water every now and then. The owner let us know the next day that a technician would sort out the problem.

Aangenaam vir 'n groep, maar effe stil, omdat ek alleen was. Nie Moya Cottage se probleem nie!

Ek verkies matte op die vloere in die berge. Die vloere kon skoner gewees het. Net 'n stort, geen bad nie. Persoonlik sal ek nie weer soontoe gaan nie. Dit is meer geskik vir gesinne. Eienares was baie besorgd en behulpsaam. Goed toegerus. Goed en gerieflik geleë. Sodra die tuin gevestig is, sal dit baie aangenaam wees. Was tog veilig. Volle DStv was 'n groot plus! Ek was BAIE beïndruk deur LekkeSlaap!

Pleasant for a group, but a bit quiet because I was alone. Not Moya Cottage's problem!

I prefer carpets on the floors in the mountains. The floors could have been cleaner. Just a shower, no bath. Personally, I will not go there again. It is more suitable for families. Owner was very concerned and helpful. Well equipped. Well and conveniently located. Once the garden is established, it will be very pleasant. Was safe after all. Full DStv was a big plus! I was VERY impressed with LekkeSlaap!
