Everything about the Cottage was perfect esp the beautiful Cape Eagle Owl roosting in the tree in the driveway. It was even still there in the morning! Having the electric blanket in the bed was a wonderful surprise too. Took a Lovely walk up the railway line into the Forest before we left for the airport. Willem was an excellent host and car parked in the Cottage garage.

“The perfect place to explore George and surroundings”
Such a charming cottage with all the amenities one can wish for. It has a lovely spacious garden to have breakfast in and is situated directly next to the botanical gardens. The host was always available for help and both check-in and checkout were super fast. The accommodation itself was spotless and the beds very comfortable. We had a private parking (and garage even) and since the cottage is a bit out of the city, we could easily reach several places out of George. But we still had the supermarket and several tasty restaurants really close by. Both my wife and I really loved George and would definitely want to sleep here again!
