Rustige plaas-wegbreek in die berge.

Ons het héérlik gebly in die Milk Cottage. Die eenheid is pragtig gemeubileer en baie gerieflik, baie skoon en baie netjies. Die rustige plaas-omgewing en pragtige berge is goed vir die siel. En die oulike honde kruip sommer vinnig in 'n mens se hart. Ons gaan beslis weer terug soontoe!

Peaceful farm getaway in the mountains.

We had a wonderful stay in the Milk Cottage. The unit is beautifully furnished and very comfortable, very clean and very tidy. The peaceful farm environment and beautiful mountains are good for the soul. And the cute dogs quickly crawl into one's heart. We will definitely go back there again!

Die beste!

Die cottage is selfs beter as wat dit op die foto's lyk! Ons het dadelik tuis gevoel. Dit is goed ingerig met alles (en meer) wat nodig is. Gerieflik en goed geleë. Die diens was puik en ons maak alreeds planne om sommer gou weer daar te gaan bly! Het ons vriendelik ontvang, was beskikbaar met raad en aanbevelings oor die omgewing en het mooi na ons omgesien! Beslis 'n wenner in ons boek!

Definitely a winner in our book!

Very comfortable stay in a spacious, modern, well-equipped cottage. It is centrally situated with all the attractions and restaurants within a short drive. The cottage itself is luxurious with quality furniture, a well-equipped kitchen, indoor fireplace, outdoor braai facilities, an inverter and a gas stove for any load shedding.

Immaculate!

The cottage was in an immaculate condition. Neat, tidy, modern and comfortable. Everything you need is there and more. It has all the necessary utensils, even a nespresso machine (big win!) and the attention to detail was amazing. We stayed there over a mother's day weekend, took out 1-year old along, which was no problem, Maryke even offered to lend us a camping cot. The best was the little Ferrero-Rocher Gift Maryke left for Mother's Day - that really showed attention to detail, thank you Maryke! It was very easy to get there (approx. 1-2km of bad road though). Maryke was very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely stay there again. Big big thumbs up! It was exactly how the pictures showed, and the view of the mountains from the bedroom was amazing. The bed was also very comfortable, with a very cosy Douvet.

Amazing roomy house with everything you need to live for a couple of days or weeks. Lovely plot with lots of birds and a very friendly hostess. The house has 2 bedrooms and all the amazing things one needs to relax and really enjoy the Drakensberg while traveling around to stalls, farms and entertainment. Very safe and incredible views of the berg. We really loved the stay and could unwind from the pace of life here.

Cute, tranquil, and well-equipped.

A beautiful self-catered stay with everything you would need and want from a stay in the Drakensberg: A beautiful panoramic view of the mountain; 20-minute drive to Cathkin Park for hikes; a pool for hot days; Chromecast and internet for rainy stay-in days; comfy beds; a well-equipped kitchen for cooking and cleaning (including a counter-top dishwasher); peace and quiet; a warm welcome from the hosts and their dogs. Glad we found this place and will definitely be back again.

Om met honde te kuier is altyd n probleem maar Maryke was so tegemoetkomend en kon ons ontspan en het haar 2 honde sommer by ons ingeval.

Pragtige plekkie, goed ingerig en die donskomberse was 'n bonus, want die nagte was koud. Ons het na 5 dae daar gevoel asof ons op 'n 3-week-vakansie was.

Visiting dogs is always a problem but Maryke was so accommodating and allowed us to relax and let her 2 dogs join us.

Beautiful place, well furnished and the down blankets were a bonus as the nights were cold. After 5 days there we felt like we were on a 3 week vacation.

Pragtig, rustig en ongelooflik.

Die Goodland Cottages is soos iets uit 'n storieboek en die gasvrou, Maryke is baie vriendelik en gasvry. Ons het ingestap in 'n pynlike netjies kothuis en het selfs 'n bottel wyn en sjokolade ontvang vir Valentynsdag! Die hondekinders en kuikens het ons net nog meer tuis laat voel! Die eiendom het die mooiste uitsig en die rustigheid was goed vir die siel.

Die perfekte wegbreekplek!

Ons verblyf by Goodland cottages was absoluut salig! Ons het in die Milk cottage gebly. Dit is 'n baie goed toegeruste cottage met alles waaraan jy kan dink. Die interieur is lieflik, dit maak die cottage huislik en warm. Die beddegoed is kraakvars, alles is silwerskoon. Die ekstra bederfies soos vars plaaseiers is 'n bonus. Daar is kaste vol speletjies en puzzles, 'n TV en die WiFi is uitstekend. Die uitsig vanaf die stoep af oor die berge, die reuse tuin met groot bome en werfhoenders bring groot vrede in jou gemoed. Die teenwoordigheid van die honde, Ellie en Peanut, het die lekkerte van die kuier op Goodland Cottages se werf verhoog. Maryke is 'n wonderlike gasvrou. Ons wil haar en haar span bedank vir uitsonderlike verblyf by hulle. Julle het aan elkeen van ons verwagtings voldoen. Ons sal beslis weer terugkeer na Goodland Cottages toe!

The perfect getaway!

Our stay at Goodland cottages was absolutely blissful! We stayed in the Milk cottage. It is a very well equipped cottage with everything you can think of. The interior is lovely, it makes the cottage homely and warm. The bedding is crisp, everything is spotless. The extra treats like fresh farm eggs are a bonus. There are cupboards full of games and puzzles, a TV and the WiFi is excellent. The view from the porch over the mountains, the huge garden with big trees and yard chickens brings great peace to your mind. The presence of the dogs, Ellie and Peanut, increased the enjoyment of visiting Goodland Cottages' site. Maryke is a wonderful hostess. We would like to thank her and her team for an exceptional stay with them. You have met every one of our expectations. We will definitely return to Goodland Cottages again!

Very neat, clean and well equipped cottage.

The cottage has everything you need (except braai tongs) for a comfortable, safe stay and is well located for berg activities. Besides someone directing us to our cottage, we did not get to meet the owners or have any explanation for their absence. If you are elderly or have hip problems the bed is very high.

This place is a sanctuary, a true experience for all your senses, a place where you go to appreciate life, nature, family and friends, where you rest, but also enjoy your surroundings, feeling at peace and content! It’s a place that feels too-good-to-be-true!

We stayed at The Goodland Cottages for the long weekend in March 2021, celebrating my Mother’s 60th birthday. From the moment we saw it on the website, we fell in love, but what waited for us, was so much more than we could ever expected! These cottages are everything and more as shown on the website. It is peaceful, beautiful and it leaves you in awe of God’s creation. The cottages are fully equipped, with more utensils, appliances, and extra add-ons than a normal self-catering cottage, or even home. They truly thought of everything! Whatever you can think of or think you would need, they have it. The interior is absolutely beautiful! A modern-rustic feel. It is thought through and practical, combining clean, open spaces, with natural elements and earthy tones. It’s simple yet has so much character! The views are incredible, and there are multiple places where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine to experience the beautiful Drakensberg. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful, and there were personal touches added to the cottage to celebrate my mother’s birthday. We were greeted with the three most amazing dogs, Ellie, Peanut and Frikkie, and we became so attached to them over the weekend. They just made it feel like a home, so joyful and so excited! This place is a sanctuary, a true experience for all your senses, a place where you go to appreciate life, nature, family and friends, where you rest, but also enjoy your surroundings, feeling at peace and content! It’s a place that feels too-good-to-be-true!

Ons het heerlike, rustige verblyf in die Milk Cottage gehad en van daar die omgewing verken.

Die huisie was baie netjies en goed toegerus. Aangesien daar net twee huisies op die terrein is (asook die eienaars se huis), was dit baie rustig, iets wat mense wat moeg is vir die stad se rumoer en gejaag baie nodig het. Ons kon heerlik ontspan. Maryke is 'n baie vriendelike gasvrou en haar span baie effektief. Ons het Ellie, die Labrador, ook baie geniet. As ons weer in daardie omgewing gaan vakansie hou, sal Goodland Cottages ons eerste keuse wees.

We had a lovely, peaceful stay in the Milk Cottage and explored the area from there.

The house was very neat and well equipped. Since there are only two cottages on the site (as well as the owners' house), it was very peaceful, something that people who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city really need. We could relax wonderfully. Maryke is a very friendly hostess and her team very efficient. We also really enjoyed Ellie, the Labrador. If we were to holiday in that area again, Goodland Cottages would be our first choice.

Comfortable, relaxed and quiet.

Honey Cottage is full of character with a beautiful wood-panelled interior. The kitchen was well-appointed with all implements I needed (even sharp knives). The owners were friendly and welcoming. They left us to our own privacy, but we felt like they were ready to assist at a moment's notice. The location of the cottage is an ideal base for exploring Champagne Valley, being close to Bell Park Dam (best viewed at sunset) and down the road from the Drakensberg boys’ choir. Keep driving toward the mountain and you’ll find Monk's Cowl reserve, a UNESCO world heritage site with some of the best day hikes the berg has to offer.

Dierbare en snoesige kothuis wat perfek geleë is.

Na 'n baie hartlike welkom vanaf die vriendelikste eienaar, Maryke, was ons só verlief op die Honey Cottage toe ons daar instap. Die ligging is perfek op 'n groot, rustige erf met lieflike bome en uitsig, net ver genoeg van besienswaardighede. Die kothuis was knus, netjies, stylvol en gemaklik. Oorgenoeg hout vir die kaggel word verskaf en als wat mens nodig het. Ons sal enige tyd weer terugkom!

Lovely and cozy cottage that is perfectly located.

After a very warm welcome from the friendliest owner, Maryke, we were so in love with the Honey Cottage when we walked in. The location is perfect on a large, peaceful lot with lovely trees and views, just far enough from attractions. The cottage was cosy, tidy, stylish and comfortable. Plenty of wood for the fireplace is provided and everything you need. We will come back again anytime!

Selfsorgverblyf op sy beste.

Omdat ons met ons klein worshondjie reis, verkies ons selfsorgverblyf. In ons goue jare kan ons deesdae meer dikwels reis en het dus verblyf van goed tot swak teëgekom. Foto's op advertensies vertel nie altyd die regte storie. In die geval van The Goodland kry jy meer as wat jy sien en geld nie kan koop nie. Maryke het ons vriendelik verwelkom, die Milk Cottage se deure en vensters was oop en daar was geen reuke van enige soort in die huis nie. Alles was uiters netjies, ekstra sepies in die badkamers en selfs in die kombuis. Meer as genoeg potte, panne en eetgerei in die kombuis. Verwarmers in all die kamers. Kortliks ─ die eienaars sorg dat gaste op hul gemak is. Ons hondjie kon veilig die tuin verken. Te veel om op te noem. Baie dankie Maryke, ons kom volgende jaar weer met ons dogter.

Self-catering accommodation at its best.

Because we travel with our small sausage dog, we prefer self-catering accommodation. In our golden years, we can travel more often these days and have thus come to stay from good to bad. Pictures on ads don't always tell the right story. In the case of The Goodland, you get more than you see and money can't buy. Maryke kindly welcomed us, the Milk Cottage's doors and windows were open and there were no odours of any kind in the house. Everything was extremely neat, extra soaps in the bathrooms and even in the kitchen. More than enough pots, pans and cutlery in the kitchen. Heaters in all rooms. In short ─ the owners make sure guests are at ease. Our puppy could safely explore the garden. Too many to mention. Thanks so much Maryke, we will be back with our daughter next year.

Goodlands, the land of milk and honey.

Ons was gaande oor die plek! Alles was perfek. Vriendelikste eienaar denkbaar. Goodlands is op 'n tipe van kleinhoewe geleë, klein entjie van Winterton. Die omgewing en natuur is so pragtig - 'n beter plek sal jy nie kry nie. Dit voel of jy op die Drakensberge se stoep sit. Daar is soveel om te doen en sien in die omgewing. Ons was net 3 dae daar, maar sal weer gaan, maar dan vir 'n langer tyd. Ons wag net tot Kaanan klaar gebou is.

Rustig, ontspannend, gasvry en die hondekinders het dit ook terdeë geniet.

Lieflike, volledig toegeruste kothuis met plaasatmosfeer. Baie lekker sentraal geleë om die deel van die Drakensberge te verken - naby winkeltjies, tuisnywerhede, eetplekkies, seunskoor, roofvoëlsentrum, wynkelders en reptielpark asook avontuurbedrywighede. Baie gasvry en eienaar gaan uit haar pad om seker te maak jy alles het wat nodig is. Ons hondekinders was welkom en het die rondsnuffel baie geniet. 10 uit 10.

Good location.

Unfortunately they were building in the main house which is about 30m from the Milk Cottage, the whole long weekend included. Sunday and literally from sunrise to after dark, the builders also stayed on site. We called to ask when the construction would stop, but could not get an answer. I also did not feel safe letting my children play on the lawn because the builders who were there all along. Really looking forward to our long weekend, but the stay was disappointing.
