Wonderfully friendly and delightful!

We recently stayed with Scruff and Sarah at their charming self-catering apartment in the Midlands, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The cottage was beautifully decorated, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our hosts were so accommodating and we are so grateful for everything. What really stood out was how pet-friendly it was. Our furry friend was treated like royalty! There were cozy blankets, treats, and even a secure garden for her to roam freely. The location was perfect too—surrounded by stunning countryside and lovely walking trails. The hosts were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Their local recommendations were spot on, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Overall, this cottage is a hidden gem for anyone looking to escape to the Midlands with their pet. We can't wait to return for another visit! Highly recommend!

Parker Place is close to all major routes, and the safety was comforting.

We received a warm welcome, and all our needs were accommodated. The accommodation will definitely see us again.

Onverbeterlik, netjies, skoon, rustige atmosfeer. Sal verseker weer daar oorbly.

Ons verblyf was perfek, netjies en skoon - daar was alles en nog meer wat ons nodig gehad het. Die rustige omgewing was 'n bonus en ons het lekker gerus. Ons sal enige iemand aanbeveel om met 'n geruste hart daar oor te bly.

Lekker.

Baie gerieflik en skoon, alles wat ons verwag het. Die eenheid het alles wat benodig word in die kombuis en was daagliks mooi skoon gemaak. Badkamer ook lekker ruim. Sal nie geskik wees vir iemand wat trappe 'n uitdaging vind nie. Redelike nou en steil hout trappe na "slaapkamer" bo. Pragtige omgewing, net jammer die heining voor die eenheid belemmer die uitsig as jy op die stoep sit. Daar is sonkrag stelsel, so Eskom se manewales het ons glad nie gepla nie.

Nice.

Very comfortable and clean, everything we expected. The unit has everything needed in the kitchen and was nicely cleaned daily. Bathroom also nice and spacious. Would not be suitable for someone who finds stairs a challenge. Fairly narrow and steep wooden stairs to "bedroom" upstairs. Beautiful setting, just a shame the fence in front of the unit obstructs the view when you sit on the porch. There is a solar power system, so Eskom's antics did not bother us at all.

Neat, quiet and cosy.

Perfectly serene! The accommodation was super clean and situated in a safe and secure estate. There was plenty to do around the area, just a few minutes away. If you're looking for the perfect spot to break away from the chaos of city life, this is the place to stay.

Net wat ons nodig gehad het.

Pragtige selfsorg eenheid op 'n rustige landgoed. Geniet die rustigheid en vrede van die omgewing. Bonus is sonkragstelsel wat beurtkrag nie 'n probleem maak nie. Ons gasvrou, Sarah, het seker gemaak dat ons nie sukkel om daar uit te kom nie. Kan Parker's Place verseker aanbeveel.

Just what we needed.

Beautiful self-catering unit on a peaceful estate. Enjoy the tranquility and peace of the surroundings. Bonus is solar system which makes load shedding not a problem. Our hostess, Sarah, made sure we had no trouble getting out. Can definitely recommend Parker's Place.

Amazing place very tastefully decorated. Very peaceful, safe and secure. Host very friendly and accommodating.

Only downfall is the narrow steps - would not recommend anyone who is not stable on their feet (eg. elderly) to stay there as the floors are very polished and you can slip easily.

Parker's Place 's response

Thank you for pointing this out. The stairs have now all been fitted with a new non-slip grip and are no longer very polished. I have also added a backing onto the stairs. The balustrade is secure and will assist anyone who is a little unsteady on their feet.

Lovely stop-over. Pet-friendly place.

I loved my stay here, was welcomed by Sarah (the perfect host). The place was well equipped with everything you need. The dogs loved the garden and the walk outside the estate among the sugar cane fields. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable. 5 stars! I should've stayed another day.

What a lovely place.

Parker's Place se uitsig is asemrowend mooi. Die eenheid is heerlik ruim, pragtig kreatief en netjies ingerig met als wat jy nodig het. Die stilte en rustigheid na 'n woelige dag op die N3 was fantasties. Dit het gevoel soos ons eie huis. Ons sal graag weer daar oornag. Sarah is gasvry, vriendelik en baie behulpsaam.

I didn't want to leave!

Elegant, simple and homely, Parkers Place felt like home away from home. Convenient facilities for self-catering, indulgent bathroom, comfortable bed, serene surroundings with beautiful views and sunsets - I couldn't have asked for more. There was even a generator for loadshedding which was a relief. Will certainly return!
