Very peaceful and relaxing.
Had a great time. It rained all the time and the access road was a bit washed out. Place itself well equipped and very tidy.

Very nice surroundings and beautiful little place.
We enjoyed our time at Blommekloof, especially the variety of vegetation and garden. Playground for children. Nice ponds, unfortunately the bass didn't want to bite. The fireplace does not smoke well and can fill the whole house with smoke, be careful. The children really enjoyed the farm animals.

Dear Ben,
Thank you so much for the kind words !
I am very sorry that the Bass were not behaving! But more sorry about the fireplace - thank you for highlighting that for us. We replaced it over the Covid period and had not had many guests so we didn't have feedback. I shall chat to Claude and see if there is something he can do to prevent this happening again.
Hope to see you again sometime.
With warm regards xoxo Ali

Very peaceful and quiet environment.
The Sunflower Cottage is a beautiful spacious place for 4 people. The farm fresh eggs were a nice treat. The porch is surrounded by trees and vegetation so it is very private. The cottage has everything you need. The farm animals' sounds are also wonderful.

It was clean, peaceful and far better than the pictures online.
Value for money, clean, tidy, well appointed. The area is great, close enough to everything and secluded enough to get away from the city's rush and noise.

Peaceful farm life. Back to basics.
It was wonderful to get away from the city noise. No TV, no cell phone and no internet reception. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place for you. My children really enjoyed playing on the farm. They were all the way into the chicken coop. The children also enjoyed playing with the frogs after the rain. On arrival we received eggs. Thank you Claude and Ali. We had a nice stay.

Wonderful, fun, peaceful, recharge-your-batteries place.
In contrast to a previous review "The silence is noisy" we would rather put it this way: The silence nourishes the soul and the inside, the silence is delicious, the surroundings beautiful, the place of residence clean and has everything needed in place, hospitable receipt. One good word that can sum everything up is "wonderful" if you are tired of life in the city (or town), pack your bag and come enjoy the beauty of nature and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Not too well.
Different than suggested and reviewed. Well equipped mountain home, pots, pans, microwave oven, gas oven and stove, good fridge. Felt unsafe in the sense that there wasn't much interaction, yet well received. Eggs and milk have dried up. Terribly poor cellular communication. The silence "noises" there. Take your dog with you. No cleaning services offered or refused. Road over Ruiterbos by far the better one.

Dear Harry, it is unfortunate that you feel you were mislead.
We go out of our way to highlight the fact that we are off the beaten track, off the grid, that there is no cellphone reception and no TV. That is the beauty of our cottages. The fresh farm eggs are a gift upon arrival and not a daily thing, you may always buy more if you want to - same with the milk.
We are after all self-catering accommodation. As regards cleaning - we are self-catering and cleaning is an optional extra - that you need to ask for - we respect people's privacy and that is why there is no daily interaction, apart from greeting you on arrival. Claude lives a 100 m over the dam wall, and Happy probably walks past the cottage 10 times a day - so you could have asked for anything from them at any time.
As far as the road is concerned we are at the mercy of Eden municipality - there has been unprecedented rain over the last few weeks - and so the road was worse than normal, normally it is pretty good. Anyway it's a pity you did not bring any of your grievances to our notice in the week that you were staying there. Warm regards, Ali and Claude.

Nice and quiet, peaceful getaway, no TV or cellphone signal to disturb the peace.
My little town doggie had a great time among the farm animals for the first time in her life. Wonderful hiking, fishing, and relaxation, reading and nights around the campfire. The service was outstanding and the decor was excellent, contributed to lovely rest.

Excellent accommodation at Old Cottage. Tranquil farm environment in a beautiful kloof. Enough wood and braai facilities.
Claude and Allie have created a beautiful place for tourists. Blommekloof was our base to tour George, Mossel Bay and Ruiterbosch. Don't miss the beautiful route to Bonniedale. The Old Cottage was neat and spacious with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Would definitely go again. Thanks LekkeSlaap and Blommekloof.

Quiet and fresh and completely relaxed.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying there and would do so again and again. For me, the fishing was just what I needed and didn't even know how much I would have enjoyed it, there are a lot of fish in those ponds. Also just want to say thank you to Ally for everything she has done for us.

'n Pragtige, baie goed ingerigte plekkie met alles wat jou verblyf na 'n tuiste weg van jou huis laat voel.

A beautiful, very well appointed place with everything that makes your stay feel like a home away from home.
We discovered the beautiful places as one of LekkeSlaap's special offers and will definitely go back. If you don't like nature, silence and total peace, stay away. The nature was amazing, a photography dream and just the right balance between rustic and comfortable. Ideal for a family with little people who love animals and who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
