Peaceful, refreshing and luxurious.

It was an awesome experience with nature, without the noise of the city. Perfection.

Cosy winter getaway.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at Glory Days. Our host thoughtfully informed us about the cold weather expected that weekend, allowing us to pack appropriately for a cosy winter getaway. While we enjoyed our cabin stay without any major issues, we did experience intermittent hot and cold water in the shower on the last day. Nonetheless, this did not detract from our overall enjoyable experience.

Uitgerus!

Dit was heerlik gewees en lekker weg van die stadslewe. Die hot tub was 'n wenner. Dit kan baie koud raak en 'n vuurtjie sou lekkerder wees i.p.v. net 'n gasbraai. Dit sou beter wees as die huisies verder van mekaar kon wees, ons kon die ander gaste hoor en sien, kort bietjie meer privaatheid, maar anders het ons baie lekker gebly!

Rested!

It had been wonderful and a nice escape from the city life. The hot tub was a winner. It can get very cold and a fire would be nicer instead of just a gas grill. It would be better if the cottages could be further apart, we could hear and see the other guests, need a little more privacy, but otherwise we had a very nice stay!

Rus weg van die besige stad lewe.

Dit was baie lekker verblyf by Springsteen Cabins, net nie verwag die kolkol is letterlik heel dag in die son nie wat dit moeilik maak om die ekstra gerief te geniet.

Rest away from the busy city life.

It was a very nice stay at Springsteen Cabins, just don't expect the spot is literally in the sun all day which makes it difficult to enjoy the extra comfort.

Mixed reviews, neat and clean. Might think a bit expensive, but it's unique.

It was nice, only disappointed in "hot tub". If guests can only arrive after 14:00 in the day, it is basically impossible to get the hot tub warm before 10 in the evening. 1 bag of wood is hopelessly too little to get it right, and host must realize that. It forces you to buy cheap eucalyptus at the most expensive price, with the hope that by 10 o'clock in the evening you can at least have a warm swimming pool. My suggestion would be to light it hot tub for guests, so that at least one can use only the 1 bag to keep the thing going.

Ten spyte van bloedige warmte het ons die stilte en afgesonderheid geniet.

Ligging uitstekend! Eenheid is goed toegerus. Met kwik op 39 grade, sou lugversorging welkom wees. Netheid nodig bietjie aandag (veral buite). Alhoewel die omgewing mooi is, kry mens die gevoel van verwaarlosing met die onversorgde wingerde direk om die cabin. Voel dis "over priced".

Despite bloody warmth, we enjoyed the silence and seclusion.

Location excellent! Unit is well equipped. With mercury at 39 degrees, air conditioning would be welcome. Cleanliness needs some attention (especially outside). Although the surroundings are beautiful, one gets the feeling of neglect with the unkempt vineyards directly around the cabin. Feel it's "over priced".

Disappointing.

I had a very nice stay, but I only got 1 bag hit and not 2 as per email and the Cabin was not really very clean. Lots of ants and flies. Wooden cutting boards were also dirty and gas was up in gas grill. There was not an extra bottle on the premises as indicated.

Teleurgesteld en ongerieflik.

Bitterlik baie ontevrede met Springsteen Cabins. Die "hot tub" was so vuil, aangepak met alge en bosse hare, dat ons dit nie kon gebruik nie. Die plek binne was ook nie skoon nie, die bank was vol honde/kat hare. Kombuis goedere was ook vuil. Ons het geen kliëntediens gekry nie of enige terugvoer en geen hulp rakende die "hot tub" nie.

Disappointed and inconvenient.

Bitterly very dissatisfied with Springsteen Cabins. The "hot tub" was so dirty, covered with algae and clumps of hair, that we could not use it. The place inside was not clean either, the couch was full of dog/cat hair. Kitchen goods were also dirty. We got no customer service or any feedback and no help regarding the "hot tub".

Springsteen Secret Garden 's response

Hi Lianey, we apologise for the inconvenience with the hot tub. After conducting a site inspection, the algae and dirt you mentioned was identified as the last bits of ash which is nearly impossible to clean. This may have appeared as algea in the fireplace section of the hot tub, but rest assured that it would not affect the water. We must remember that we are embedded in nature, and such occurrences are not uncommon. We also avoid using chlorine or any harsh chemicals that may potentially irritate our guests' skin.
In regards to your query on customer service, we've checked our records and found no email or WhatsApp message from you, which greatly limits us in our ability to assist from our end. Our maintenance or cleaning team would have been ready and eager to assist with hosing the fireplace section of the hot tub (which only requires removal of ashes) for you.
We hope you had a lovely stay otherwise.

Fantastic cabin getaway.

We had an incredible stay! The cabin is well fitted, the hot tub was an absolute win, and the bed was super comfy. Great wine tasting down the road and plenty of other things to keep yourself busy with. Couldn't have asked for a better stay .

A few issues have to be addressed for a more comfortable staycation.

Various issues should be rectified before we would recommend it to others. Feedback was given directly to Springsteen Cabins.

The location is great, but the stay was very unpleasant as we had no electricity for more than 5 hours on the first night and no electricity from 18:00 up until the next morning after 8:00 am as the inverter in the cabin we stayed in did not work.

So we did not have a pleasant stay at all.

Very relaxing.

Enjoyed the tub, but needed more firelighters and matches. Wood was for sale. Lots of flies, could have done with Doom, or maybe told to bring our own. When the weather warms up, a fan would be advisable. Cabins very well-equipped and the stay was enjoyable.

Die Cabin was netjies, skoon en voldoende uitgerus.

Die uitsig is asemrowend en beslis die geld werd. Die een negatiewe, niks gerig op die Cabin self nie, was dat die wingerd voor die Cabins erg verwaarloos en dood is. Dit is duidelik dat die wingerd baie lanklaas na omgesien is of selfs water gekry het. Op die advertensie, word die wingerd as groen en versorg getoon, maar in werklikheid is die wingerd dood en onooglik. Ek verstaan dat dit tans die begin van herfs is en dat die wingerd se blare sal verkleur, maar die stokke was 90% vrek. Dit was uiters onooglik.

The Cabin was neat, clean and adequately equipped.

The view is breathtaking and definitely worth the money. The one negative, nothing directed at the Cabin itself, was that the vineyard in front of the Cabins is badly neglected and dead. It is clear that the vineyard has not been looked after or even watered for a very long time. On the ad, the vineyard is shown as green and manicured, but in reality the vineyard is dead and unsightly. I understand that it is currently the beginning of fall and that the vine's leaves will turn color, but the canes were 90% dead. It was extremely unsightly.
