Ons was Clarens toe vir ons wittebrood en moet net noem dat Cottage Pie ons regtig beïndruk het.

Translate to English.
We went to Clarens for our honeymoon and just have to say that Cottage Pie really impressed us.
The cottage was neat and clean and located in a very nice place (not in the hustle and bustle of the town). We stayed in the upper thatched roof room, and we really enjoyed it. The customer service was also great - I communicated with the owner (Karen) on Whatsapp and she kept us informed about everything. Would definitely recommend Cottage Pie!

Stylish, but be prepared for loadshedding!
The establishment is advertised as pet friendly, but just make sure they have read the messages beforehand if you are trying to arrange for pets. They were surprised when we arrived with a dog and a cat. But the stay was still very nice. The wooden house sits at the foot of a mountain, and has a small garden in front, with lovely seating and a barbecue area next to a stream. The only thing that could make our stay better is if there was a gas stove as well. It was very cold the 2 nights we were there, and with loadshedding in the evening you really just want to be able to drink a cup of coffee. Furthermore, it was lovely, picture-perfect and very clean and tidy.

Goeiemore Willem
So jammer om te hoor van jou klagtes.
Die Houthuisie, Rustic Wooden Cabin, word duidelik geadverteer geen Wi-Fi en geen TV. Jy het nooit tydens julle kuier met my gekommunikeer in verband met enige navrae of versoeke nie, so ek kon gevolglik geen verduideliking aanbied nie.
Ons is altyd meer as bereid om ons gaste dadelik by te staan met versoeke. Gesels gerus volgende keer sommer dadelik met my as daar enige iets is waarmee ek kan help.
Tot volgende keer, bly gesond en gelukkig.
Vriendelike groete, Karen.

The stay period at Cottage Pie was wonderful. The photos on the page do not show the real beautiful picture that the place is in person. The service was good and the room very nice and cozy. The only setback was the location against the mountain (although very beautiful) which affects the signal and the temperature (in the winter months).

Without a doubt the most wonderful accommodation experience I have had with a small family. Can't recommend the Cottage Pie family unit enough.
The family unit at Cottage Pie is a fully equipped house full of character, which was absolutely perfect for our family of 5, with beautiful, spacious and 'cozy' rooms. Thanks to two coal stoves, the whole house is wonderfully heated; and with the garden literally bordering the nature reserve, we couldn't have asked for more. Karen was so kind and hospitable, it was truly an unforgettable experience. We will see the Cottage Pie again for sure!

Soul food and tranquility by the mountain.
If you are looking for peace and quiet in the most beautiful garden by the mountain, Cottage Pie is the place for you. The Family Unit feels like a home away from home with antique beautiful furnishings and a lovely kitchen. WiFi was a bonus with teenagers. We had such a good time, reading with a glass port in the hand on the bank of the river and just recharging batteries. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Very nice stay.
We were warmly welcomed by Karin and immediately felt at home. Cottage Pie is nice and quiet, away from the noise of the town. We had wonderful weather this weekend. We stayed in the Bedsitter and it met our needs. Garden is beautiful and well-maintained, so are the buildings. We will definitely visit Cottage Pie again.

Not for people who are full of fiemies.
We stayed in the Owner Unit. The place is more suitable for 2 people. It is very cramped and there is not really any storage space for luggage. The kitchen is tiny and there is almost no work space. The cutlery, kettle and two-plate stove are out of the old box and need to be replaced. The braai has also seen better days and the garden set is also from 1980. One expects with the amount you pay per night that the place has been upgraded. People with back problems will also not sleep comfortably on the beds, they are very soft. One can also hear guests moving around in the upper floor. Also, don't expect to be able to lie down and relax in front of the TV, it's very small and tucked into a cupboard. Good points: fresh bedding and close to the mountain for hiking trails.

Cottage Pie 's response
Goeie dag Jana,
Dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek is baie bly ons kon julle en julle 2 Scotties met vroeg inklok tyd akkomodeer die Saterdag. Ek hoop hulle het dit geniet hier by Cottage Pie in ons tuin en dat julle al Clarens se aktiwiteite kon geniet met geruste harte terwyl julle Scotties veilig by Cottage Pie was. Jammer om te hoor dat jy nie ons "Vintage" gevoel geniet het nie maar darm die beddegoed en die berge.
Vriendelike groete ,
Karen

Disappointing.
The two rooms we booked were inadequate. Not suitable for self catering. The photos on the overview page are misleading and the large table on the veranda is not available for visitors in the two rooms. The wire chairs in the garden are old and inadequate - bent leg caused my elderly father to fall. The kitchen is very small and poorly equipped. I had to ask for a bread knife, there is no grater, a choice between very small glasses or beer glasses. A two plate stove, no oven, very little work space and a very small bar fridge. The hostess blamed us for misunderstanding the website and even if we had she should have taken the attitude that she wanted to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Unfortunately, it was an unpleasant experience.
