Lovely setting and surroundings.

I cannot give a fair rating of how a stay would be in normal circumstances but I think it would be a very pleasant place to stay. There was a local powercut that had already lasted more than 24 hours, and the backup solar system was barely functioning because there had not been enough sun. So it was rather dark with flickering low-level lights inside the house, and self-catering was out of the question. The host was kind and helpful, gave us gas to boil water for tea, apologized for the lack of hot water in the showers, and directed us to a nearby restaurant where we had a delicious meal much better than what I had been thinking of cooking. We slept well and had a cold shower in the morning. The host had given us info and passwords for WiFi, but it too was affected by the power outage. I don’t think this feedback of a very difficult time for them should be shared on your website.

Ongelooflike verblyf - eerste klas!

Absoluut wonderlik. Alles was van uiterse hoë gehalte. Uitstekende en vriendelike diens. Die verblyf is baie mooi, netjies en baie gerieflik. Ongelooflike mooi uitsig. Ons sal graag weer hier kom bly - alles was pragtig en met sorg gedoen - daar is niks wat mens kortkom. Al ons verwagtinge oortref. Sal die verblyf beslis aanbeveel.

Du'SwaRoo Cottage 's response

Hierdie besoekers het die gebruik van die volle huis benut. Daar is 'n hoofslaapkamer met 'n en-suite badkamer. Die twee ander slaapkamers was gesluit aangesien hulle net twee volwassenes was wat net die hoofslaapkamer benodig het.

Heerlik, rustig & ontspanne.

Ons het heerlik in die pragtige kothuis gebly. Ons het veral die rustige kuier op die mooi stoep geniet. Baie dankie aan Pat, en Riana vir hul ekstra moeite met die braaigeriewe, die wynproe, en die deli lekkernye. Sal definitief volgende keer langer bly.

Baie bilik, baie gerieflik en 'n heerlike stoep en tuin!

Lieflike groot huis. Baie goed ingerig met 'n lekker stoep en 'n privaat tuin agter (perfek vir ons hondjie gewees). Ons het net 1 aand hier oornag, maar sal vir seker weer van die verblyf gebruik maak. Dit is baie billik geprys en het alles gehad wat ons benodig het! Baie vriendelik en gasvry - selfs toe ons eers na donker daar arriveer het.

Lovely big house. Very well furnished with a nice porch and a private garden at the back (perfect for our dog). We only spent 1 night here, but will definitely use the accommodation again. It was very reasonably priced and had everything we needed! Very friendly and hospitable - even when we arrived after dark.

Tussen die wingerde, rustig, netjies met alles wat jy benodig.

Gasvrye ontvangs, plaasstilte en 'n netjiese volledig toegeruste huisie met 'n pragtige uitsig. Voeg by 'n bottel yskoue wyn in die yskas en 'n wynproe net om die draai. Wat meer het 'n mens nodig? Hier kan jy afskakel en net ontspan.

Was baie lekker, gerieflik sonder enige probleme.

Die cottage is 'n klein ou Kaapse styl atmosfeer huisie op die dieselfde perseel as die eienaar se wynkelder op 'n grondpad vanaf Calitzdorp. Daar is 'n baie mooi uitsig vanaf die stoep toegerus met gemaklike stoele slegs na Calitzdorp se kant toe. Die plekkie is toegerus met alles wat 'n mens nodig het en het 'n lekker groot yskas/vrieskas met 'n groot thermo fan oond en glasblad stoof. Die hoofslaapkamer is toegerus met 'n dakwaaier wat baie gerieflik was. Die TV het slegs beperkte kanale en ons het die Afrikaanse KYKNET-kanale bietjie gemis. Ons het geen probleme met WiFi en selfoonopvangs gehad nie. Die oprig van 'n motorafdak of skadunet by die plekkie kan dalk 'n groot aanwins wees vir die warm somerdae. Ons het 4 nagte hier oorgebly en die omgewing van hier af verken.

Was very nice, comfortable without any problems.

The cottage is a small old Cape style atmosphere house on the same site as the owner's wine cellar on a dirt road from Calitzdorp. There is a very nice view from the veranda equipped with comfortable chairs only towards Calitzdorp. The place is equipped with everything one needs and has a nice big fridge/freezer with a large thermo fan oven and glass top stove. The main bedroom is equipped with a ceiling fan which was very convenient. The TV only has limited channels and we missed the Afrikaans KYKNET channels a bit. We had no problems with WiFi and cell phone reception. Setting up a carport or shade net at the site can be a great asset for the hot summer days. We stayed here for 4 nights and explored the area from here.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful setting.

If you are looking for a relaxed stay in a serene setting, this is the place to be. Wonderful hosts. I was welcomed with a bottle of their own Chenin Blanc. When I booked, I didn't realize it was on a Port farm. The accommodation was top-notch.

Gerieflike verblyf met die mooiste uitsig oor wynlande!

Wow! Ons verwagtinge was oortref. Dit is 'n regte plaashuis - maar groot! Die uitsig is pragtig aan alle kante. Dit was stormkoud, maar die temperatuur binne die huis was konstant lekker, sodat ons amper nie komberse deur die nag nodig gehad het nie. Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang, die eienaars stap regtig die ekstra myl en is gereed om enige vrae te beantwoord of hulp te bied. Met die ontvangs was daar heerlike beskuit wat op ons gewag het, melk was reeds in die yskas vir koffie en 'n lekker bottel van hul eie wyn was in die yskas. Ons het regtig lekker gekuier. Die wynkelder met 'n groot verskeidenheid wyn en die lekkerste ingelegde produkte is reg langs die kothuis. Ek wou net gaan proe, toe stap ek weg met 4 bokse goed! Dit is beslis 'n moet as jy daar tuisgaan. Ek kan regtig 'n opstel skryf, maar die punt is - ek beveel Du'SwaRoo hoogs aan en ons sal verseker weer daar tuisgaan! Enige iets om dalk in ag te neem as jy 'n gesin met baie klein kinders is, is dat daar nie regtig 'n buitespeelplek is nie. Dit was gelukkig reënerig en die huis is lekker groot, so my kind het binne besig gebly. Daar is ook 'n houtblokkiespelletjie op die tafel vir ons uitgesit, waarmee my kleintjie ure lank besig gehou is. Hierdie plekkie verdien 10 sterre, nie net 5!

Comfortable accommodation with the most beautiful view over winelands!

Wow! Our expectations were exceeded. It's a real farmhouse - but big! The view is beautiful on all sides. It was bitterly cold, but the temperature inside the house was constantly nice, so that we almost didn't need blankets during the night. We were received very kindly, the owners really go the extra mile and are ready to answer any questions or offer help. At the reception there were delicious biscuits waiting for us, milk was already in the fridge for coffee and a nice bottle of their own wine was in the fridge. We really had a great time. The wine cellar with a large selection of wine and the most delicious pickled products is right next to the cottage. I just wanted to go and taste, so I walked away with 4 boxes of stuff! It is definitely a must if you stay there. I could really write an essay, but the point is - I highly recommend Du'SwaRoo and we will definitely stay there again! Something to perhaps consider if you are a family with very small children is that there isn't really an outdoor play area. Luckily it was rainy and the house is nice and big, so my child stayed busy inside. There was also a wooden block game set out on the table for us, which kept my little one busy for hours. This place deserves 10 stars, not just 5!
