N ware little gem. Netjies, rustig en kos vir jou siel.

Ons verblyf was lekker verby. Baie dankie aan little gem en die eienaar. Hierdie plekkie is waarlik 'n gem. Baie goed toegerus en ons hondekinders het dit net so daar geniet. Hulle was veilig en kon rondbeweeg sonder dat ons hoef te stress dat hulle kan uitkom. Aan die gasvrou, dankie vir al ons bederfies. Dit was 'n verrassing en heerlik, en dit het ons so spesiaal laat voel.

A real little gem. Neat, calm and food for your soul.

Our stay was fun. Many thanks to little gem and the owner. This place is truly an average. Very well equipped and our dog children enjoyed it there just as much. They were safe and could move around without us having to stress about them getting out. To the hostess, thank you for all our treats. It was a surprise and delicious, and it made us feel so special.

Pure bederf.

Dit was pure bederf - 'n lekker kaasplank, koekies, yoghurt en muesli en selfs koekies vir ons hond. Dit was salig om na 'n lang dag in die mooi stoeparea te ontspan.

Pure pampering.

It was pure pampering - a nice cheese board, biscuits, yoghurt and muesli and even biscuits for our dog. It was blissful to relax in the beautiful patio area after a long day.

Lovely relaxing stay!

The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. We loved the little touches with the welcome cheese platter, muscadel, rusks, spices in the drawer, water and yoghurt in the fridge. Even coffee and tea were provided. As we checked in on Women's Day, chocolates were left for me. Would definitely recommend this place as Montagu is such a pretty town.

Little Gem het ons harte gesteel. Sue, you are the best hostess!

Little Gem het vir ons soos 'n koning en koningin laat voel, ons 4-voet kind soos 'n prinses. Dit was netjies, skoon, snoesig en Little Gem se aandag aan klein detail het vir ons baie aangenaam verras. Ons sal sonder aarsel beslis weer spesiaal deur ry Montagu toe net om daar te kan oorbly. Kaasbord met beskuitjies vir ons en spesiale doggie treats vir Bailey.

We would definitely make a special trip to Montagu again just to stay there. Cheese board with crackers for us and special doggie treats for Bailey.

Ons het in die Stuirio Cottage vir een aand oorgebly, met ons hondekind, en dit was perfek. Als was mooi skoon en netjies, ook dit geniet om te kon braai die aand. Buiten dit was Janet, die eienaar, baie vriendelik en akkommoderend.

The assumption that 2 people travelling together are a couple is really getting old.

We had to book an apartment for 3 persons as 2 only gives you a double bed. So we arrived and the horrible bunk bed in the lounge /kitchen had a disgusting cover on it with no bedding provided. As I pointed that out the owner was not impressed and made that bed with linen that was not ironed as she was ill. I did book weeks in advance! The unit is not serviced. Only one toilet roll supplied for 2 days. So, start catering for adults travelling together who do not wish to sleep in the same bed, and adults to not sleep in a children's bunk bed. We pay good money and I guess we contribute a good part of the annual profits for the tourism industry. Cater for our needs.

Ons het vir 'n naweek weggebreek na Montagu.

Ons was in die Studio vir 'n naweek. Dit is 'n ruim kamer en uitstekende bed en ons het lekker gebly. Vir selfsorg is dit 'n bietjie beperk: die webtuiste toon 'n foto van 'n kombuisie, maar die kamer beskik net oor breekware en messegoed, koffiegeriewe en 'n mikrogolfoond (onder die TV in 'n kas) soos in die kamer se beskrywing. Dit het ons egter nie gehinder om die naweek te geniet nie. Skottelgoed moet buite gewas word (of in die badkamer se wasbak).

We were in the Studio for a weekend. It is a spacious room and excellent bed and we had a great stay. For self-catering it is a bit limited: the website shows a photo of a kitchenette, but the room only has crockery and cutlery, coffee facilities and a microwave oven (under the TV in a cupboard) as in the room's description . However, that didn't stop us from enjoying the weekend. Dishes should be washed outside (or in the bathroom sink).

Ons het lekker gebly.

Ek het geboek vir drie persone en was onder die indruk dat dit twee slaapkamers sou wees. Dit was toe een slaapkamer met een bed in die woonkamer. My vrou het toe haar teleurstelling uitgespreek daaroor en die eienaar het ons toe verskuif na een groter een nog steeds een slaapkamer met een extra bed in die woonkamer, maar baie groter en iedereen was gelukkig. As ons twee is sal ons weer soon toe gaan.

If there are two of us, we will go there again.

Plek is netjies en gerieflik.

Die Little Gem word adverteer as : Luukse eenhede. Dit is egter basiese eenhede. Badwater het baie stadig uitgeloop. Toilet het versiening nodig - dit lek binne in toiletbak (Valve blykbaar foutief).

The Little Gem is advertised as: Luxury units. However, these are basic units. Bath water ran out very slowly. Toilet needs servicing - it leaks inside toilet bowl (Valve apparently faulty).

Dit was aangenaam.

Nie dieselfde as foto's op webtuiste nie, maar behalwe dat kamer baie beknop en matras naby sy einde is, was alles baie skoon en netjies en alles het gewerk. Oor die algemeen het ons baie lekker gebly.

Not the same as pictures on website, but except that, room was very cramped and mattress near its end, everything was very clean and tidy and everything worked. Overall we stayed very nice.

Heerlike verblyf en baie honde vriendelike.

Ons het heerlik gebly in Little Gem. Die kothuis is baie goed toegerus. Ons twee honde het heerlik op die gras gespeel. Dit is definitief die beste hondevriendelike verblyf wat ons al gehad het.

Heerlik rustig!

Foto's kan baie misleidend wees en is mens nooit seker wat om te verwag nie. The Little Gem het verras deur presies te lyk soos wat die foto's weerspieël het. Die huisie is pragtig "cozy" en super skoon en netjies gewees. Jou privaat tuin is ook 'n bonus gewees. Janet is so vriendelik en tegemoetkomend gewees en sal ons definitief weer by haar aanklop volgende jaar.

Wonderfully peaceful!

Photos can be very misleading and one is never sure what to expect. The Little Gem surprised by looking exactly as the photos reflected. The house is beautifully "cozy" and super clean and tidy. Your private garden was also a bonus. Janet was so friendly and accommodating and we will definitely call on her again next year.

The accommodation was adequate

The house is well equipped and tidy. However, there is not enough space for clothes, especially if there are 3-4 adults. The sofa bed in the "lounge" is very uncomfortable.

A place for one night stay.

We expected more than one rather small room for three persons. It good for one night but then for 2 people and not for three.

The Little Gem 's response

Thank you for your review. My units are advertised as one bedroomed and are most comfortable for couples and the extra sleeping facilities are provided for children. Adults who make use of this are saving costs by not booking into 2 bedroomed establishments. Couples with children are very happy with the facilities and if I have bookings of extra adults looking to save costs, I warn them that it could be a little cramped. In summer the private garden makes up for any shortage of indoor space.

We arrived at 14.30 but the lady didn't know about us, after that we had to wait an hour so that her unit could prepare. Safe was locked and she didn't know how to fix it.
