Cozy cottage on a beautiful farm.
We needed a quiet weekend getaway in the winter and got it. The fireplace was equipped with wood, the bed comfortable and warm, and the garden and farm around it were beautiful. We also saw a Knysna Loerie from the porch! The morning fog in the patch of forest in front of the cottage was beautiful. The dirt road was short and a sedan could easily drive on it. We walked far and were able to fish without any disturbances - nice and quiet with a mountain biker every now and then on the walking/mountain bike trails around the farm and Broederstroom. The main road (R71) can be heard in the distance, but it's not extremely loud. The coffee shop which is on the farm and is also open to the public was also pleasant to visit - dog friendly with very nice breakfast, cheesecake and friendly service. If you are looking for luxury, this cottage may not be for you. The kitchen is only basically equipped (including cutlery) and the wooden deck is tired from the constant high humidity. There is only a bath, no shower. There is a four plate gas stove that is lit with matches and the oven was a challenge. However, there is a good microwave and fridge. The main house is right next to the cottage, but it was mostly quiet. The resident dogs were not too enthusiastic when they spotted our dog, but kept their distance and we were happy to be able to bring him along. Overall it was a very pleasant experience because it's a nice environment with a lot to do, and also nothing, if you need peace.

Soul invigorating.
A lovely place. The owner's dogs came to greet us upon our arrival, but did not bother us again and we really enjoyed being able to walk undisturbed on the farm with our puppies. The coffee shop within walking distance is a big plus and the staff very welcoming and friendly. Definitely one of my favorite getaways! I would suggest that lace curtains should be hung in the bedroom to create privacy, especially since the window is on the main house side and one would prefer not to live with the curtains drawn. I would also have liked an option to be able to take a shower. Although she didn't mind bathing, getting in and out of the tub was difficult because the tub is low and deep, especially for someone who had knee surgery.

Such a pity we couldn't stay longer! My wife and I stayed 4 nights and we left the farm with heavy hearts. Beautiful dam, went cycling every morning - you can cycle on the farm and round the dam. More than enough wood for the fireplace, excellent restaurant on the farm, the owners of the farm and the staff are really friendly. Even "Starbuck" the dog is such a friendly doggie. What an awesome week we can't wait be back.

Turaco is very well located with a nice view, and good service. My only problem is that it is not private, and is located right next to a residence (the farmhouse). Some people like total privacy like me, and I think only they can mention on their page that it is not 100% private.

If you are looking for a place where it is just you and nature, this place is for you. The view is breathtakingly beautiful, and the flowers all around you welcome you even more. The fresh blueberry juice just tastes like more. You lose yourself when you witness the work of God's hands by walking down to the waterfall. Thank you very much for the experience! We enjoyed being part of such a special place.

Beautiful location and very comfortable cottage. Owners are friendly and very helpful. Cottage very close to the main house. If you bring your pet with you, make sure your four-legged friend gets along well with other dogs, because our two were not happy to make a new friend - despite the fact that the friend was really friendly. There are also no boundary wires. Fortunately, the owners went out of their way to solve the problem and for that we are very grateful. One is also deliciously spoiled with "blueberry muffins"!

Turaco Farm Cottage is a refreshing and enjoyable experience. The place spells tranquility in a beautiful landscape.
Accommodation in Turaco Farm Cottage is recommended. A pleasant cozy place to stay. Inside, the decor is simple, but nice and pleasant. Accessories are complete and in good working order. I would have liked a shower - one that looked down the valley like that. Outside, the porches need a re-do and the cottage itself needs several coats of paint. The first set of stairs directly from the parking space to the house needs expert attention - a stretch of six steps each around 400mm (four hundred millimeters) high is unsightly, creates a hazard and is difficult to climb. As this is a damp and wet climate, paving could be considered for the parking space for the single vehicle that needs to be parked there - it can just give off a muddy mess. Nice stay!
