The hosts were exceptional.. They went over and above to ensure we were well taken care of in every aspect . It was my wife's birthday as well and they really made it special by getting her a gift, booking our dinner reservations and ensuring we had the best view and table at the restaurant.. Highly recommend.

What a peaceful place to be. We felt very welcome. The weather was great. The host was so excellent with the recommentions of places to visit and they did not disappoint. Thanks to Jenny with everything, Great place to be for us as a couple. The fire place added the touch to connecting and romance with my partner

Nice big cottage in a quiet, scenic, and serene environment. You have your own kitchen, bathroom, lounge, and dining area inside the cottage. The hosts were very friendly and even went the extra mile to help me when I had a car problem and were not fussy about check-in time when I was delayed. The property is load shedding proof. There is shaded parking for your car. Overall, I experienced top-class hospitality.

โAmazing few days in the mountains.โ
We received amazing service from Jenny before we even set foot at the property. She communicated right from the moment we made the booking and even recommended a place for us to stop for lunch on our way. Nothing was too much for Jenny and Neil. We particularly enjoyed the drive around the area showing us all that Drakensberg Gardens has to offer and the amazing dinner reservation that Jenny made for us at a nearby restaurant. When my husband had trouble connecting for work, Neil went over and above to assist. We can't recommend a stay at the Cottage enough.

โIf you want to experience peace and. quiet and the beauty of the Drakensberg then this is your spotโ
The location and the feel you got when you drove up to this perfect little gem was warm and inviting. The inside was just perfect for the 2 of us. The owners Jenny and Neil were warm and welcoming.

โA charming and well equipped cottage on the doorstep of the magical Castle Garden hiking area.โ
The property is really well equipped, the kitchen has almost everything you could need for a sort to medium stay and it was spotless. The views are lovely over the mountains and a nearby lake, and the location was really convenient for us as we wanted to be close to popular hiking trails. The fireplace adds a touch of romantic charm and lovely heat on cold nights. The owners were super friendly and helpful and gave lots of useful advice.

โAbsolutely Amazing!!!โ
What an amazing experience! Our hosts, Neil and Jenny, made us feel right at home. They went out of their way to make the weekend magical! They even arranged dinner for us at last minute at Castleburn Restaurant. We also made use of the Magic Mobile Massage therapists for a super relaxing couples massage. They came to our cottage, we had a nice warm fire going in the fireplace and absolutely loved every minute of the Massages! We would highly recommend using them!

โThis was by far the greatest experience ever, we can't thank Jenny enough. Thank you.โ
We like that the cottage is cosy and centered close to all amenities. Jenny made it feel like home away from home for us,very welcoming. She made sure we were on time for our horse ride. We love her and her husband. The morning view of the lake is everything.
