We will be back. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a comfortable stay. The cottage had everything we needed - comfortable bed, hot shower, refreshing swimming pool, Netflix and within walking distance of the little town.

One of the best ever!

A gem hidden from the noisy traffic in the main road of De Rust, but still within walking distance of the shops and restaurants. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful, the cottage is a home away from home. Great care is taken in ensuring that you have everything you need while staying there, the firewood they provide makes the best fires ever and the private garden has a lovely firepit where you can relax. One of the best stays we have ever had at a self-catering unit!

Rustig en huislik. 'n Tuiste, nie net 'n oornagfasiliteit nie.

Robyn doen ongelooflik baie moeite om jou welkom te laat voel en het selfs water, 'n bed en hondebeskuitjies vir ons hond neergesit. Die huis is baie goed toegerus en besonder gerieflik. Afronding is opvallend - klein details wat die verblyf hier iets besonders maak. Die uitsig op die berge is 'n verdere bonus.

Quiet and homely. A home, not just an overnight facility.

Robyn goes to great lengths to make you feel welcome and even left water, a bed and dog biscuits for our dog. The house is very well equipped and extremely comfortable. The finishing touches are striking - small details that make the stay here something special. The view of the mountains is an added bonus.

Peaceful, soul restoring.

Extremely relaxing. Our hosts were very kind and thoughtful. De Rust is a very peaceful location, we loved Herries restaurant and the Meiringspoort Waterfall was a blast. At the cottage, the pool was great and we had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. Beautiful shower.

We had a wonderful time, stayed for 5 nights and had everything we needed.

A big thank you to Robin. I have no words to express my gratitude for being so welcoming towards me and my family. Robin was on call whenever we needed assistance. She even helped my little girl when I asked for help. I would definitely recommend the cottage for that peaceful stay when you need to have a breakaway. Very private with a lovely swimming pool for those warm days. Thank you, Robin.

The Cottage 's response

You are most welcome, Julimay! So glad your daughter felt better! It was lovely meeting you and your family, and nothing makes us as hosts happier than to hear that our guests felt at home and enjoyed their stay! This is why we do what we do! Hope to see you all again very soon!

Baie mooi en netjies en hartlik ontvang. Pragtige Border Collies om mee te speel.

Baie netjiese perseel. Keurig uitgelee en baie goed ontvang. Die eenheid is geskik vir een paartjie. Privaatheid 'n bietjie van 'n probleem. Eenheid geskik vir gesin met twee kinders. Een dubbelbed en 'n sleeper couch. Sou aanbeveel dat die sleeper couch in die advertensie genoem word.

Very nice and neat and warmly received. Beautiful Border Collies to play with.

Very neat premises. Nicely rendered and very well received. The unit is suitable for one couple. Privacy a bit of an issue. Unit suitable for family with two children. One double bed and a sleeper couch. Would recommend that the sleeper couch is mentioned in the ad.

Good day Gideon
Thank you for your kind review and for making such a fuss over our fur-babies, we appreciate it and they had such fun with your family.
In regards to the sleeping arrangements, I'm sorry you felt privacy was an issue; however, our ad does specify in the general description and again in the sleeping arrangements that our unit contains 1 double bed and a sleeper couch, as well as that it is suited for couples seeking a romantic getaway or a small family looking to get away. Glad you enjoyed your stay despite your concerns, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Beautifully decorated and restored old waenhuis. The wood furnishings give the place such an authentic touch. Great attention to the smallest details. Really loved the personal touch of the welcome board.

Hosts were so kind and helpful. The swimming pool was a life saver in the heat. The braai area was great and had everything required for a lekker braai, including firewood. We had a relaxing stay.

Thank you for your kind review, Surika! You and your family were excellent guests and we thoroughly enjoyed hosting you. It was so wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the pool and all the amenities that The Cottage has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Uitstekende plekkie.

Plekkie is met so veel liefde bymekaar gesit. Dit het alles wat jy nodig het asof jy by huis is. Dit is regtig die oulikste plek. Ons het die speletjies geniet en die hout maak dit aangenaam om by die vuurplek te kuier. Dit was die perfekte plek met 'n klein baba en om tyd saam my man te spandeer. Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid. En vir al die plekke wat julle voorgestel het, ons besoek in die area was amazing. Dankie.

Excellent place.

Plekkie was put together with so much love. It has everything you need as if you were at home. It really is the cutest place. We enjoyed the games and the wood makes it nice to hang out by the fire place. It was the perfect place with a small baby and to spend time with my husband. Thank you very much for your hospitality. And for all the places you suggested, our visit in the area was amazing. Thank you.
