A comfortable, relaxing stay.

Hosts Shan and Mark have thought of every little detail that a guest might need. Really exceptional. Extra safety measures also meant that we did not have concerns about petty theft. We felt very pampered.

Die omgewing is lekker still en rustig.

Dit was werklik 'n aangename verblyf. Alles wat jy nodig het was beskikbaar. Plum Tree is werklik baie goed toegerus. Dis asof dit 'n huis weg van die huis is.

Lekker wegbreek uit besige stad.

Dit was 'n baie lekker rustige en vriendelike dorpie met die mooi natuur uitsig vanuit ons stoepie. Baie rondgestap en selfs deur die Natuurreservaat om alles te kon sien en geniet. Die eenhede was baie gerieflik, die kaggel het saans oortyd gewerk. Ons mis dit als al klaar!!

Nice break from busy city.

It was a very nice, peaceful and friendly village with the beautiful nature view from our stoepie. Walked around a lot and even through the Nature Reserve to be able to see and enjoy everything. The units were very comfortable, the fireplace worked overtime at night. We miss it already!!

Baie lekker gebly. Baie ruim verblyf met genoeg om te sien en te doen.

Karin is 'n uitstekende gasvrou! Die plekkie is aan die kant van die dorp geleë. Ten spyte van haar waarskuwing om die vensters en deure gesluit te hou wanneer jy nie in die wooneenheid is nie, het ek die een venster op 'n skrefie gelos vir vars lug en 'n opportunist het 'n paar items die aand deur die venster gesteel. Gelukkig nie waardevol nie, maar nogtans. Sulke gedrag is egter oral te vinde. Ek sal weer gaan en die plek het in my hart gekruip. Dankie Karin!

Very nice stay. Very spacious accommodation with plenty to see and do.

Karin is an excellent hostess! The place is located on the side of the town. Despite her warning to keep the windows and doors closed when you are not in the unit, I left one window ajar for fresh air and an opportunist stole a few items through the window that night . Fortunately not valuable, but still. However, such behavior is found everywhere. I will go again and the place has crept into my heart. Thanks Karin!

Lekker gerus.

Ons was in die omgewing vir 'n troue en het 2 aande oorgeslaap. Die huisie is lieflik en het alles wat mens wil asook 'n pragtige tuintjie en uitsig. 'n Koue bottel wyn in die yskas was ook 'n lekker verrassing gewees. Ek gee ongelukkig nie volpunte nie a.g.v. 2 dinge. Eerstens, die breekware was vuil gewees. Ons moes eers self weer die glase, messegoed en braaivleisbak was voor ons dit gebruik het. Tweedens kort die braaiplekkie 'n nuwe rooster, dit een wat verskaf word het sy doel gedien en kan gerus vervang word. Ek sal nogsteeds die huisie aanbeveel vir iemand wat in die area wil bly.

Have fun.

We were in the area for a wedding and stayed 2 nights. The house is lovely and has everything you want as well as a beautiful garden and view. A cold bottle of wine in the fridge was also a nice surprise. I unfortunately do not give full marks because 2 things. First, the crockery had been dirty. We had to wash the glasses, cutlery and barbecue tray ourselves before we used them. Secondly, the braai place needs a new grill, the one provided has served its purpose and can easily be replaced. I would still recommend the cottage to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Pragtige cottage.

Ons het lekker gekuier by Plum Tree Cottage wat baie goed ingerig is. 'n Heerlike bottel McGregor-wyn het vir ons in die yskas gewag en 'n sak hout vir die kaggel. My worshondjie het die agtertuin baie geniet. Die enigste negatiewe punt is die hout wat naby die huis gesaag word. Die geluid van die elektriese saag heel dag was nogals steurend as mens gekom het om te rus.

Beautiful cottage.

We had a great time at Plum Tree Cottage which is very well furnished. A delicious bottle of McGregor wine was waiting for us in the fridge and a bag of wood for the fireplace. My dachshund really enjoyed the back garden. The only negative point is the wood that is sawn near the house. The sound of the electric saw all day was quite disturbing when you came to rest.

Lieflike plekkie, mooi uitsig, rustige atmosfeer.

Ons het die tydjie baie geniet. Die uitsig was lieflik en dit was goed ingerig vir honde ook. Die dorp is naby genoeg vir stap en tog voel dit nie asof mens in die dorp is nie. Die bed is wel op die meeste ’n koningingrootte-bed.

We really enjoyed the time. The view was lovely and it was well set up for dogs too. The town is close enough for walking and yet it doesn't feel like you're in town. The bed is in most cases a queen-size bed.

Restful, ideal for a relaxed weekend. Ideally located with beautiful views

The house has everything you need. Comfortable with nice outdoor area and braai. We took our dog along, worked well and secure for dogs also good all round security. The only suggestion we have for improvement is that the padlock on the front gate is difficult to work, well worth replacing with a better quality combination lock.

Nice, but needs TLC.

It was marvelous little cottage, but so sad that all the kitchen crockery and bake ware was so dirty. We had to soak all the crockery before to clean all the grime off. We assumed that the place was not properly cleaned after the previous guest left.

My Mum and I had a wonderful break in nature surrounded by beautiful gardens and mountains in this idyllic cottage. Everything that you need with lovely places to relax, soak up the sun, watch the sunrise and sunset. We loved everything about this place. We took our two small dogs and they were able to safely explore the gardens without being able to escape. We would definitely love to visit again.

Lovely pet-friendly weekend getaway spot.

Exceptionally clean and well-equipped cottage. We enjoyed a great two-night stay here with our two whippets, who thoroughly enjoyed exploring the gardens and playing catch on the patch of lush grass. Being on the edge of town offered us great views - the only downside being random vehicles stopping on the bordering dirt road after dark for up to an hour a time. Was a little disconcerting.

Aangenaam verras.

Plum Tree was 'n wonderlike ervaring. Dit is baie netjies, baie stylvol met mooi kuns teen die mure en goeie kwaliteit meubels, Dit is ook baie goed toegerus met 'n reuse kaggel, 'n wasmasjien en tuimeldroër. Daar is baie ekstras soos 'n koffiedompelaar, 'n volledig toegeruste speseryrak en selfs 'n groot blik beskuit. Ons het baie lekker gebly, ek kan dit met 'n geruste hart sterk aanbeveel.

Die huisie is baie netjies en ruim, en heerlik koel. Die stilte was wonderlik.

Ek het stilte gesoek, en dit beslis daar gevind. In 'n baie skoon en netjiese, ruim huisie. Maar ek het nie gemaklik gevoel om buite te sit nie, want die dorp se inwoners stap gedurig verby die heining. Die Karookoppies en sterre was pragtig, asook die braaiplek en tuintjie van die huis. Die pragtige kat het hom tuisgemaak en ons het hom vreeslik geniet. Dit was beslis die moeite werd.

The house is very neat and spacious, and wonderfully cool. The silence was wonderful.

I sought silence, and certainly found it there. In a very clean and tidy, spacious house. But I didn't feel comfortable sitting outside because the town's residents were constantly walking past the fence. The Karookoppies and stars were beautiful, as well as the braai area and garden of the house. The beautiful cat made himself at home and we enjoyed him immensely. It was definitely worth it.
