Beautifully furnished and fully equipped cottage which also provides easy access to the Howick city centre. Great WiFi connectivity and plenty of privacy, it didn’t feel like we were on someone’s property.

“Beautiful Inside”
The cottage was spotless. It is beautiful inside and has everything you need for a short stay. After a difficult trail running event, it was great to arrive at a lovely decorated cottage which has great security and to get into a hot bath. You have complete privacy since the owner has constructed neat wooden walls which creates your own 'space' from the main house. Very close to grocery stores, the Vern pub and other restaurants. 11km away is Piggly Wiggly. Will definitely be back if another overnight stay is needed in the area.

Comfort, safety and cleanliness. The host was so friendly and helpful especially as we had booked a wrong date initially, the host welcomed us regardless and assisted us to get a refund from booking.com. He is amazing.
