Farm atmosphere.
Lovely farm atmosphere. Very quiet with the croaking of frogs and birds in the background. The cottage was well equipped and spacious. Beds were comfortable. The upstairs bedroom was just very hot with poor ventilation. The door to nowhere could perhaps be converted into a balcony.

Good place to stay that is pet friendly.
It is very well located and pet friendly. I understand it was taken over fairly recently. The new owners still have a lot of work to do to renovate the grounds. The kitchen was also not properly equipped and furniture and decor needed attention. We were traveling with pets so it was very convenient. The hostess was also very courteous.

Ons het die Cozy Cottage nie positief ervaar nie en hoop dat die gasheer aandag gee.

We did not experience the Cozy Cottage positively and hope that the host pays attention.
Although a quiet rural area, close to the N1, we experienced the following shortcomings in the Cozy Cottage: The bedroom does not have a door. The bathroom light does not always turn on; short circuit at the switch. The shower head sprays in all directions. The roof leaks in a few places, and some of our luggage got wet. There was dog feces in the area next to the kitchen window.

Expected more but slept nice and warm. For an overnight stay it is acceptable.
Very basic accommodation with a 2 plate stove, microwave and fridge. Their shower facilities are small, but at least no problems with hot water. Reception was so-so.

Would consider it again if the place was better maintained and the problems were resolved.
Stayed there a while back. Place has deteriorated a lot. Too bad, it has a lot of potential. Garden full of animal manure. Porch unusable due to uneven surface. Thatched roof leaks. Lots of insects.

Couldn't sleep at the sleepover stop.
We couldn't sleep well, there was noise from people on a nearby property, worms fell from the roof onto us while we were sleeping, there was no fan and we didn't feel safe leaving the windows open. There wasn't a cloth in the kitchen.

Confirm early to have a clean unit.
We confirmed accommodation late in the afternoon. With that in mind, there were cobwebs on the furniture and the floor was full of cat hair. There were too few bowls and forks in our unit which is for 6 people, and some of the cups were dirty in the cupboard.

A sense of weathering of furniture and rondavel building.
The rondavel was hastily cleared when we landed. The price is perhaps acceptable for what is offered. But the photo representation and description on the website created higher expectations than the reality turned out to be.

We only spent the night there on our way to Dullstroom and Kruger NP.
We slept great. The new owners are very friendly and apparently took over recently. The place is very well located out of the city of Bloemfontein and close to the N1. The place needs some TLC but I believe if they are well supported they will make the necessary improvements.

Beautiful place, nice furniture and a good location, but needs attention.
The place has so much potential and is well located. It needs urgent attention and a good cleaning. There are not towel rails for that many people (6). There are not 6 chairs at the table. There is a no smoking sign, but the adjacent ones smoke you out. The braai drum is rusted through. The site needs attention, grass is very long and it appears the septic tank is overflowing.

Rather a place to stay the night.
Poor reception. Skoomaker was not aware we were coming so early (2:00 p.m.). Owner? Message sent that she would come say hello the next day, never happened! Owner's dog bun is all over the place. Place has a lot of potential, just needs good management. Lots of dust on top of cupboards. Floors not the cleanest. They can feel free to put a broom in the place to clear the place.

Hallo Daniel
Dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek was ongelukkig uitstedig soos genoem in my Whatsapp boodskap aan jou. Ek het die nodige stappe geneem met my personeel, aangesien hulle baie deeglik bewus was van julle besoek. Ek was Vrydag laat tuis en het geloer om te groet, maar julle deur en gordyne was toe. Ek probeer privaatheid respekteer aangesien die doel van besoeke aan ons is om te kom ontspan. Jy was baie welkom om enige ongelukkigheid aan my uit te lig, ek het kontak gemaak via Whatsapp. Ons waardeer die terugvoer en sal beslis daarop let.
Groete
Yolandi

Disappointing experience.
The facility was confirmed as animal friendly at the time of my booking but despite me confirming my expected time of arrival well in advance and also calling upon arrival at the gate the owner's 5 dogs still ran loose and gathered around my car at the time of my arrival and it caused incredible stress for me, after traveling for 10 hours, as well as for my 2 dogs that I had arranged for. The condition of the furniture in the unit is really poor and it seems as if everything that was redundant in the house was simply moved to the unit. The upholstery on the chairs is dirty, floor tiles are broken and loose, the shower head is completely loose and you end up with it in your hand if you want to adjust it. The curtains in the unit differ in colour, part tone and length with the hooks having been cut out and therefore the curtains do not close properly. I accept that it is a self-catering unit and the guests are therefore requested to wash the dishes. What is worrying, however, is the condition of the sponge and scourer provided for washing up and this immediately raises the question of how cleanly the previous guest/guests could have washed the crockery and kitchen equipment with the sponge and scourer in this condition. is. Photos to confirm the above facts are available on request. The directions for tuning the DStv channels are not at all clear and I was not successful in tuning the TV to any of the available channels. To receive a WhatsApp message on the evening of my stay on January 3, 2022 (at 8:56 p.m.) that there is an amount of R200 outstanding according to their records and that I must pay it immediately, while I already settle all amounts on December 18, 2021 has is unacceptable. The fact that I had to send proof that my account was settled in full, on which no feedback was received to confirm their mistake and/or an apology for the inconvenience, raises a question about the focus on service delivery. At the time of my departure, the remote control did not work and I had to request by phone again that the gate be opened. I am of the opinion that the facility is not maintained at all, that it therefore does not offer value for money to the traveller, while the level of service delivery is worrying and I will therefore not use the facility again, nor for would not recommend to any other travelers.
