Relaxing, friendly, beautiful views.

Superb cottage in idyllic location.

Everything about our stay at Elephant Cottage was just perfect. Lin-Mari's welcome and communication was fantastic. Every attention to detail had been thought of and the setting and location is simply superb. We will be back!

Peaceful wine farm stay.

A spacious, well-appointed apartment, wonderful views and very peaceful location. Close enough to the town for a quick drive to the sights.

Ongelooflike wegbreek - alles wat 'n couple nodig het!

Van Amy se amazing wynproe tot 'n stunning stap in die mooi veld - hierdie juweel van 'n blyplek sal ons definitief weer en meer sien. Goeie mense, goeie wyn. Goeie alles!

Our stay at Elephant Trail Cottage was absolutey fantastic!

We were on a 4-night honeymoon stay, probably the best 4-day stay that I have experienced anywhere! Set in an amphitheatre of mountains just out of town it's a phenomenal location that one can stare into for hours. The cottage is extremely comfortable and well-equipped and has everything that one needs. The staff, especially Amy, are so helpful and willingly go the extra mile to make your stay the best. The complimentary wine tasting was exceptional, their Wildeberg Wine House wines are superb and we returned home with 4 cases.

Die plekkie is ideaal geleë en uitstekend toegerus.

Die plaas is naby genoeg aan die dorp vir uitstappies, maar tog stil en afgesonder met die mooiste uitsig. Dis die perfekte wegkruipplekkie vir 'n naweek en Lin-Mari sorg dat al die nodige selfsorggeriewe beskikbaar is. Hier kan jy totale rus en vrede en 'n lieflike uitsig verwag. Die swembad is mooi skoon en jy kan selfs die plaas gaan verken en die dam besoek. Heerlike bottel wyn om die naweek af te skop ook.

The place is ideally located and excellently equipped.

The farm is close enough to the town for excursions, yet quiet and secluded with the most beautiful view. It's the perfect hideaway for a weekend and Lin-Mari makes sure that all the necessary self-catering facilities are available. Here you can expect total peace and quiet and a lovely view. The swimming pool is nice and clean and you can even explore the farm and visit the dam. Great bottle of wine to kick off the weekend too.

Pragtig. Rustig. Herlaai.

Geleë op 'n plaas buite (nie ver nie) Franschhoek. Nie losstaande nie, maar vorm deel van die hoofhuis met apparte toegang en goeie privaatheid. Mooiste uitsigte oor die berge en die vallei. Pragtige tuine. Uitstekende sekuriteit. Die eenheid is ruim, netjies en skoon met pragtige dekor. Al die personeel was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Beautiful. Restful. Reload.

Located on a farm outside (not far) Franschhoek. Not detached, but forms part of the main house with separate access and good privacy. Most beautiful views of the mountains and the valley. Beautiful gardens. Excellent security. The unit is spacious, neat and clean with beautiful decor. All the staff were very helpful and friendly.

'n Heerlike blaaskans op 'n pragtige plaas.

Die huisie is stylvol en ongelooflik goed ingerig met alles wat mens benodig. Die atmosfeer is rustig met die mooiste uitsigte. Ons is verwelkom met 'n heerlike bottel wyn van die plaas. Uitstekend, dankie.

Heel aangenaam.

Ons is nie tegnologies ingestel nie so kon nie die lugversorger gebruik nie. 'n Afstandbeheer sou baie beter werk. Dit was ongelooflik koud die naweek. Geen elektriese kombers nie. Geen TV, sou graag TV wou kyk.

Very pleasant.

We are not tech minded so couldn't use the air conditioner. A remote control would work much better. It was incredibly cold this weekend. No electric blanket. No TV, would like to watch TV.
