Uitstekende akkommodasie.

Pragtige plek en so rustig. Beddegoed en handdoeke is kraakvars skoon en nuut. Baie vriendelike ontvangs en die eienaar, asook Josh en Nikki het goed met ons gekommunikeer via WhatsApp. Alles is daar wat mens soek. Kan die plek baie sterk aanbeveel.

Nice clean house with good host.

Had a lovely stay at Rattray's Roost. Lindsay made us very welcome and Tim was efficient and friendly in all our dealings with him. House was clean and well-equipped. Good value for money. I would recommend this accommodation to all. We will be back. Thank you Rattrays Roost!

Peaceful with beautiful views of Giant's Cup.

Comfortable accommodation with everything you would need. Very homely. Nothing fancy but completely adequate. Uninterrupted views of the mountains. My daughter loved the chickens and playing with the very friendly dog on the property. Overall a lovely stay.

Lovely experience and great hosts.

Owner Tim is really great. Very accommodating and pleasant. The place is nice and big with everything that we needed. It was also very clean. Fittings are a little dated, but everything works fine.

Fantastic location.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is warm and comfortable with a great location. We had plenty of wood for evening fires which was great.

Ons het heerlik gekuier - net jammer die TV is slegs Open View wat geen goeie kykstof bied nie.

Die ligging is pragtig met die lowergroen grasperke en die uitsig asemrowend. Die huis self kort bietjie 'tender love and care'. Die opsigter was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

We had a great time - just a shame the TV is only Open View which doesn't offer any good viewing material.

The location is beautiful with the lush green lawns and the view breathtaking. The house itself needs a little 'tender love and care'. The caretaker was very friendly and helpful.

Tuis gevoel.

Ons is hartlik verwelkom en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Himeville het geen water gehad nie, maar daar is voorsiening gemaak deur die eienaars om ons van drink en was water te voorsien.

Feeling at home.

We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Himeville had no water, but provisions were made by the owners to provide us with drinking and washing water.

Ruim, gerieflike huis wat goed toegerus en versorg is.

Tim is 'n sorgsame gasheer en het werklik omtrent alles waaraan jy kan dink, voorsien. Koffie, tee, melk, beskuit, koekies, kaggelhout. Die 2 slaapkamers is ruim en die beddens gerieflik. 'n Goeie plek vir twee pare.

Spacious, comfortable home that is well-equipped and well-kept.

Tim is a caring host and really provided just about everything you can think of. Coffee, tea, milk, rusks, cookies, fireplace. The 2 bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. A good place for two pairs.

Conveniently located for the start of Sani2C.

We were 2 families over nighting for the start of the Sani2C. Rattray's Roost is very conveniently located. The accommodation was comfortable and clean and our host, Tim, was very friendly and went out of his way to make us feel welcome.

Rustige verblyf met mooi uitsig.

Was regtig aangenaam om by Rattray's Roost oor te slaap. Die huis is in 'n doodloopstraat met min verkeer en 'n mooi uitsig op die berge. Tim en Dorkas was aangename en vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou. Sal definitief weer daar oorslaap as die geleentheid hom voordoen. PS. Sorry Dorkas, we ate all your biscuits.

Peaceful accommodation with a beautiful view.

Was really comfortable to sleep at Rattray's Roost. The house is in a dead end street with little traffic and a beautiful view of the mountains. Tim and Dorkas were pleasant and friendly host and hostess. Will definitely stay over there if the opportunity arises. PS. Sorry Dorkas, we ate all your biscuits.
