Great location, very private and comfortable.

We had a great stay at the Waterfront Cottage. Very private location with easy access to the lagoon for swimming. The loadshedding meant that we had to plan certain activities (no electricity meant no water) but that was not cottage related and with the help from Alison who introduced us to the ESP app it could be easily managed. When we had certain questions, Alison was very quick in responding. In the end we stayed 3 extra days and we have added the cottage on our list of locations to include in next year itinerary.

It was a wonderfully relaxing time in the most exquisite spot! The host was incredibly accommodating of us and our needs. The house is clean, well-equipped and in the perfect location. Would highly recommend!

The house was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway - equipped with everything you need. It is right on the lake which we made use of.

Wonderlike ligging en waarde vir geld.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by Waterfront Cottage. Die ligging is fantasties en ons het dit baie geniet. Daar is net 'n paar dinge wat mense moet besef: 1. Die pad is nogal steil en dit is bietjie moeilik om daar te kom met 'n gewone kar. Bakkies of 4x4's is fine. 2. Elke 2 slaapkamers deel 'n en-suite badkamer (d. w. s. die kamers het albei deure wat na die gedeelde badkamer lei). Dit is 'n bietjie ongemaklik om die badkamer so te deel tussen verskillende paartjies, maar ouers met kinders sal nie 'n probleem hê nie. 3. Daar is geen bad nie, so ouers met klein kindertjies sal dalk sukkel. 4. As daar loadshedding is, is daar geen water nie, so mens moet jou stort mooi beplan en sorg dat jy genoeg drinkwater saamvat. 5. Daar is geen koskas nie so die kombuis is effe moeilik om netjies te hou. Daar is wel 2 yskaste, so mens gebruik dit maar vir 'n koskas. 6. Die sitkamer is nogal knap vir 8 mense, maar daar is 'n heerlike groot stoep wat opmaak daarvoor. 7. Daar is WiFi, maar nie 'n Smart TV nie, so vat maar 'n tablet of laptop as jy Netflix wil kyk. Daar is wel baie bordspeletjies, so TV-kyk is nie eintlik nodig nie. Verder is die ligging absoluut fantasties. Jy kan nie beter nie.

Great location and value for money.

We had a great stay at Waterfront Cottage. The location is fantastic and we really enjoyed it. There are only a few things that people need to realize: 1. The road is quite steep and it is a bit difficult to get there with a regular car. Vans or 4x4s are fine. 2. Every 2 bedrooms share an en-suite bathroom (ie the rooms both have doors leading to the shared bathroom). It's a bit awkward to share the bathroom like this between different couples, but parents with children won't have a problem. 3. There is no bathtub, so parents with small children may struggle. 4. If there is loadshedding, there is no water, so you have to plan your shower carefully and make sure you take enough drinking water with you. 5. There is no pantry so the kitchen is a bit difficult to keep tidy. There are 2 fridges, so you only use them for a pantry. 6. The living room is quite nice for 8 people, but there is a lovely large veranda that makes up for it. 7. There is WiFi, but no Smart TV, so just take a tablet or laptop if you want to watch Netflix. There are plenty of board games though, so watching TV isn't really necessary. Furthermore, the location is absolutely fantastic. You can't do better.

Absolute tranquillity. House has everything you need. Had a very comfortable stay.

The road is not suitable for a low vehicle. Also some extra blankets would be welcome as the rooms do get quite cold at night.

Thank you for the feedback, will definitely add some blankets.

Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie.

Jy kan op die stoep sit en die rustigheid van die natuur geniet of in die water baljaar wat net 'n paar treë van die huisie af is.

It is a beautiful place.

You can sit on the veranda and enjoy the tranquility of nature or frolic in the water which is only a few steps from the cottage.
