Super cozy living area and spacious yard with a view of the dam, it had every i needed. The drive there was just fine for my hatchback but preferable to drive during the day as it is going into the mountain and it would be dark. The fireplace already had wood set up to brace the cold and wood already available for purchase. The electric blankets helped tremendously. Water was hot and the outdoor braai area with the overhead shelter was a dream. Definitely out did my expectations

I do generally like a bit more of an in person orientation of the farms offerings when i get to a place but luckily there was a coffee table guide to the farm

It is lovely farm with welcoming hosts (+ dogs) and amazing scenery around it. Our cottage was very spacious and cozy, especially with the fireplace at in the evening. We enjoyed the recommended walk in the nearby fields, short interactions with friendly animals, horse ride and the cooking of the host. It is quite relaxing spot, and the host has made an effort to make you feel comfortable with attention to details. The farm is conveniently reachable by car. We also tried to reach some of the Drakenbergen's parks, but be prepared for 1-2h drive in each direction.

Cecile was connecting with us from the moment our booking was confirmed, till we departed. We felt taken care of. The Aloe cottage and farm are stunning. We went for a 6 km walk, with their little dashound acting as tourguide. This place is a real gem. Just off the highway but nestled in green rolling hills created a quiet tranquil place. The sound of frogs (very rare in the cities), birdlife and animals were just wonderful.

The flies were a bit of a nuisance, but it is a farm, so you have to accept that. We were provided with insect repellent, so thank you.

It is beautiful! If I could personally have decorated it myself there would not have been anything I would have changed. A secret getaway from the city. Although if I was staying longer, possibly a smart tv that we could log ourselves into our netflix and disney ect. As the tv channels are limited. However I think the point is to stay off electronics and escape into the beauty of the land.

Wifi connection and Limited movie channels. Again though the point may very well be to escape all electronics

A peaceful respite from the truck-filled road between Durban and Joburg. The lovely stone Aloe cottage has everything one needs for a comfy stay. Crisp linen on the bed was wonderful. Cecile prepared a delicious Mac n Cheese for our dinner and we ordered the breakfast basket. Sitting outside enjoying the view and seeing the curious sheep in the field next to the cottage was so lovely.

Nothing at all

We are a couple traveling with our dog, and this beautiful stone cottage was perfect for the three of us. We loved the isolation and feeling of being alone in nature. The garden is enclosed to ensure the safety of our dog, and the owner went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. Full marks. We will definitely be back in winter when we can make use of the beautiful lounge fireplace.

The only fault, which is no fault of the establishment, is inaccurate information on the booking.com site. It states that this chalet comes with an indoor fireplace and hot tub. There is no hot tub in this unit, and there never has been. The owner was most surprised when I asked where it was. This info needs to be amended on booking.com.

We did not have breakfast there. I liked the farm feel about the space and we were able to take a long walk and come close to the farm animals. It had a welcoming feeling and we enjoyed the mixture of rustic and modern clean look with beautiful linen and electric blankets.

The fireplace smoked a lot and we needed to open a whole lot of windows to get rid of the smoke. That was a disappointment.

The entire experience was immaculate! The host was friendly and accommodating, the unit was very clean, and the views were spectacular! I appreciate the sheets and towels being so clean and the heated blankets were a lifesaver in the winter.

I would've liked a larger microwave that worked a bit better. The plates had difficulty fitting into the space, and the food was still a bit cold.

The beautiful setting was a delight and the quaint cottage was lovely.

Not enough kindling! It was only for one night but I used all the kindling in the fireplace and also from the braai. Nothing for the next morning 😕 Also no WiFi and my partner missed the rugby as there want any TV. The bed was tiny (compared to what we are used to!) but understandable, given the tiny cottage.

It is a lovely place with great scenery and nice and quiet. Host is friendly and food was good. Very good value for money for a quiet getaway. I would recommend just one thing if you go take ground coffee along to use the plunger provided for a great cup of morning coffee with that farm scenery.
