“Highly recommend this for a romantic getaway or just a weekend break to escape from the business.”
Well located in the countryside with easy access to the highway. We could not have sked for a nicer place to just relax and put our feet up. The cottage is very well equipped and bedding clean and comfy.

“Cosy and equipped for comfort”
The property was quiet, peaceful, well equipped and the bed was super comfy allowing for a great nights rest pre and post Midmar Race day! We would like to book the 1 & 2 sleeper unit for the next Midmar race and we will bring the family. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

The house is beautiful and very clean. It is well furnished and the garden is beautifully manicured. We couldn't explore the farm because of the rain. Bryan, the host, was welcoming and friendly 🙂

“The Garden of Eden😍”
The garden was my favorite, so beautiful. The hosts were also very gracious providing us with juice, milk and water, the apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. I just wish they had a smart tv for Netflix etc, they do have a TV with dstv though.
