“Comfy and beautiful!”
The location is beautiful!! Sundowners on the lawn are a must. The beds are really comfortable and the cottage is spacious enough for 6. Security is super (although we felt safe anyway). Check in and out are super easy. Nickie is great and answered any questions quickly.

“Wished I stayed one extra night to really enjoy the cottage & unwind. Will definitely be returning!!”
The property & the views from it, the facilities i.e, "Gas Stove", "Fireplace", "comfy beds", "games for the kids (outdoor & indoor), "Plunger set" for the coffee lovers and overall security at the cottage (even though the place already felt safe)

Close to town. The scenery was excellent. Close to Lesotho boarder, carry your SA passport. It's worth the view. The property is huge, and the beds are comfortable. The lawn was beautiful. Very peaceful. The kitchen was well equipped. 👌

My father went into ICU when we were in South Africa so we had to cut short our travels and rush back to him whilst my parents in law and brother in law carried on travelling around South Africa. We tried to cancel Underberg Cottage and get a refund but they are the only place in South Africa who were more concerned about money than compassion even though I sent a video of my father in ICU (very sadly he subsequently passed away) to show that I was not making this up. The place we were supposed to stay at before Underberg Cottage which was the very same day we left South Africa agreed to waive all charges relating to my immediate family and only charge the remaining travellers. This meant that we essentially cancelled on the same day ie on the first of two nights' stay. Four other properties we had booked (all also non refundable) were far kinder and willing to partially give a refund or come to an arrangement to help us in our situation. I was trying to cancel this booking to book a smaller place that is closer to the shops and restaurants for my in-laws as they are not well set up to cook without us being there. After much wrangling they eventually offered a 50% refund but required my in laws to move out for the second night. As much as it is further from the shops and restaurants than ideal I can't see how I can ask them to move when I am six time zones away and they are going on a Sani Pass tour for the whole day from 8am. It simply isn't tenable at this stage for people in their seventies to be moving from night to night. Watching your father go into ICU at short notice and dying is distressing enough without having such admin to work through at a time of deep grief.

If there was one thing i could change, would be a proper braai. I hate gas braais. But that a personal choice and i also understand that the thatch roof probably does not allow for one.
