Definitely on our list again.
We were on our way to Wildlife Park when we slept there after we had booked at short notice. Everything was ready for us and there was even a fresh farm bread, butter and jam waiting for us. The place is neat and the farm is beautiful. Thank you Megan.

We had a great stay, thank you. Got freshly baked bread upon arrival which we really appreciated. Only negative is that cockroaches were seen in the kitchen. Everything else is fine.

'n Belewenis vir 'n stadsjapie om deur 'n hoenderhaan wakker gekraai te word. Wonderlike tuine.

An experience for a city boy to be woken up by a rooster. Wonderful gardens.
The bed was very comfortable and the bedding clean. The home baked bread was a great treat. Unfortunately, the unit is in urgent need of attention and maintenance. More than 12 hours (19:00 on Sept. 27 - 8:30 on Sept. 28) without electricity. Due to load shedding?

Quiet farm atmosphere with friendly and considerate hostess.
On our arrival we found a warm bun and bottle of fresh milk in our fridge. Everything needed was there. Before the thunderstorm she warned us that the power could go out, which happened, and the next morning she came to make sure everything was okay. It was a lovely and special overnight stay "in the forest".

Had a great time and the nature is beautiful. Just let one breathe deeply and comfortably again.
Sanfern Downs Cottage is delightfully situated not too far from many activities and attractions. Megan is very hospitable, easy to talk to and the delicious freshly baked bun with butter and jam was a great treat. The boiler was switched on straight away before anything else was unpacked. We will definitely stay there again, it's peaceful and quiet but you still feel very safe. Our little Yorkie thought she was in "doggy heaven" with all the nice walks we took just like that on the farm. And then of course important - accommodation there is affordable for us "locals" who also like to visit the beautiful places in our country and cannot pay the price of a farm for accommodation. Thank you very much.

The accommodation was pleasant and our hostess even gave us fresh bread. It is located in a very nice part of the country and I can definitely recommend it. It is close to Haenertsburg which is also a very pretty town. The directions to the accommodation can probably be better.

What a lovely, beautiful, intimate place!
Megan is a fantastic hostess and she made us feel so welcome. When we arrived she had a delicious freshly baked bun ready for us as well as homemade jam and butter. It was a nice surprise and so unexpected. She even offered to light our fireplace so that when we return the night after a wedding, the room will be nice and warm. Which was the case. We will definitely knock on it again if we are in that area.
