Thatcher's Rest Self-catering Cottage 's response
Hi Rosanne, Thank you for your review on Thatcher's Rest. Just to let you know that we have had the Wi-Fi reinstated and so far, it's working well. Over the past 14 years, we have found that most guests are really happy to get away from 'city/town stuff' like Wi-Fi, cell reception and TVs. However, we have also found of late, more and more guests are requesting Wi-Fi. Hopefully, you will visit again and should there be a good game on, please feel free to join us at our home to watch along with our friends and ourselves. Warm regards, June

It was delicious. We were able to relax and had a fantastic view.
We had a wonderful stay. We would have appreciated it if the hostess/gentleman had unpacked after us and examined everything, welcomed us. They order e.g. that you must let us know if you want to use cleaning service. How? There is no reception of any kind. We didn't have enough toilet paper. The master bedroom's shower leaked down onto the enclosed porch. For the price of the housing, they can provide enough wood for free. Otherwise everything was great.

Hi Mariette, in response to your review, we regret that you did not find everything to your satisfaction. We will address the issue with the shower, which was unfortunately unforeseen. Many self-catering establishments do not supply any firewood. We always supply the 'first fill and top up' in both the Boma area and the indoor fireplace. It is mentioned on our site that there is no cell phone signal at the cottage. All of our previous guests have mentioned that they appreciate the complete privacy they get once they are at the cottage. Regards, June

Very nice with fantastic views.
It is one of the most peaceful places one can go, the view from the house is very beautiful and something to appreciate. If you want to see lots of birds and stars you will not be disappointed. We had a great stay and will definitely go again. The pond on which the house is is abundant with bass and trout.

When we arrived we were breathless. Thatchers Rest is really an experience. The cottage has everything one needs for such a blissful getaway weekend. June immediately made us feel welcome and explained everything to us very well. The house looks exactly like the photos, no unpleasant surprises. I would recommend it to anyone anytime. It's really a mind-body-and-soul reset place.

Thatcher's Rest Cottage is the epitome of the private romantic "cottage on the lake".
This "cottage on the lake" exceeded all our expectations. There is everything from a cozy log fire, to hot water bottles for cold evenings and a rowing boat for the pond! The detail and design of the cottage was done by the owner himself - and the craftsmanship and ingenious layout optimize the incredible natural beauty around you. The feeling and visual effect of literally staying on the water is incredible.

What a beautiful place to be at!
What an incredible time to be able to participate in this piece of "Heaven on Earth". The place is absolutely beautiful! We were received very kindly and were taken to the beautiful place. It is clean, tidy, more than comfortable and very beautiful. We enjoyed the frogs in the evenings, the little hens and geese came to visit near the deck. There was a very large catfish that also came around and Kobus and Michaela had a great time fishing and paddling. We were entertained on Saturday late afternoon by a rib cage and ram that chased each other and jumped up and down with pleasure. Thank you very much for this beautiful place, we will definitely come again.
