Absolutely what we needed, very beautiful. The photos don't do justice.

This cottage truly exceeded all expectations! Tucked away in breathtaking isolation, surrounded by lush, vibrant nature. One of the highlights of our stay was the close encounters with playful monkeys. The cottage itself is romantic and cosy, providing all the comforts needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend. Without a doubt, we’ll be returning. 10/10.

Dit was heerlik om die natuur so om 'n mens te kan geniet.

God's Window mense is baie gaaf en het so lekker kano ritte gevaar op 'n pragtige rivier net daar onder. Fiets gery en lekker gekuier was heerlik.

It was wonderful to be able to enjoy nature around you.

God's Window people are very nice and did such nice canoe trips on a beautiful river just down there. Cycling and having a good time was wonderful.

Stukkie hemel op aarde.

Die pragtige uitsig, toegevou in bome met die bosgeluide om ons, was net wat ons nodig gehad het.

Piece of heaven on earth.

The beautiful view, wrapped in trees with the forest sounds around us, was just what we needed.

A good place for rest and solitude for a short stay.

Kind and friendly hosts. Unfortunately the last half day of our stay we experienced torrential rain and the roof leaked in various sections of our cottage including the bedroom.

We are extremely grateful to Roger for pointing out the roof leaks and expressed our gratitude to him for pointing it out to us. Fortunately, it was not serious leaks causing discomfort and or health hazard. We seldom have the rain conditions experienced on Roger visit. We explained to Roger that we have the Samango Monkeys use the thatch roof as pass over into the forest and pull some of the thatch causing for slight gaps for water penetration in extreme weather conditions. We are already attending to cover the parts of the thatch with polycarb covering that blend in with the thatch, to avoid further thatch being pulled from the roof by the Samangos.

Accommodation in Heaven.

This is one of the best places we have stayed. The cottage is very well designed - beautiful views of the bush when you are lying on the bed- big sliding windows in the lounge. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you will need (and more!) Marcel is a fantastic host. Highly recommend this place for a break -away.

A weekend breakaway from busy city life to quiet forest life.

A weekend away was exactly what we needed, a breakaway from city life to life away from the busy city life, all windows open up to forest views, bird calls and tree life. The main photo shown does not serve justice to this place, rather show a photo of the 2 entrance doors. The shown photo is an open view underneath the lounge.

God's Window het ons verwagtinge oortref.

Ons beste boswegbreek ooit, weg van geraas, maar tog naby alles. Rustic, maar tog modern. Maksimum rus en vrede gewaarborg in 'n natuurlike ligging met asemrowende uitsigte. Dankie Marcel (die gasheer) vir jou hartlike verwelkoming.

God's Window exceeded our expectations.

Our best forest getaway ever, away from noise, yet close to everything. Rustic, yet modern. Maximum peace and quiet guaranteed in a natural location with breathtaking views. Thank you Marcel (the host) for your warm welcome.

Picturesque and serene.

Marcelle is a fantastic and very responsive host. He is always available to assist while still affording his guests ultimate privacy. The cottage is rustic with modern amenities and the little added touches like puzzles and card games make it just perfect. The view from the main unit is superb and it can be seen through every window of the house, perfect to enjoy a book or some quiet time. Everything was really clean too. We really enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing and private and a feeling of being away from home and the busy city.

Very relaxing and a good get away from the busy city life.

Hi daar Jacomie
Dit is jammer om te hoor dat jy so voel oor ons Cottage eenheid.
Ons het geensins voorgestel dat die eenheid 'n vol kombuis het het nie. Die kombuis en ander kook geriewe is geskik om behoorlik kos te maak.
Die fotos op ons profiel en beskrywing van die kombuis is duidelik met betrekking tot die kombuis implimente en dit spyt my dat jy jou nie daarmee vereenselwig het voordat jy bespreek het nie.
Wat die "los blad" aanbetref was die blad nie los voor jul die eenheid beset het nie.
Dankie dat jy ons in kennis gestel het daarvan.
Die eenheid was behoorlik skoongemaak en nagesien voordat jul in is.
Die ligging van die eenheid word duidelik uiteengesit op die profiel en dit is jammer dat jy jouself nie vereenselwig het met die ligging vorodat jy bespreek het nie.
Ons was heeltyd beskikbaar vir julle om jul by te staan en het vlink gereageer toe jy ons kontak dat 'n lig buite werking was om onmiddelik te gaan ondersoek instel, wat nie buite werking was nie.
Ek sal voorstel dat jy jou teleurstelling met mense bespreek terwyl jy by hul is sodat hul die kans gegun kan word om jou onmiddelik by te staan daarmee.
Ons sou jul beslis in 'n ander groter meer gemaklikker eenheid gehuisves het indien jy ons sou laat weet het van jou teleurstelling.

Groete

Marcel Lottering

Fantastiese mooi, skoon, vriedelik, hulpvaardig, omgee.

Ek beveel die God's Window Cottage blyplekkies 100% aan. Die blyplekkie is so mooi, skoon en netjies. Die omgewing buite huisie is ongelooflik mooi, lyk soos tropiesie woude. Die eienaar (oom) wie se plekkie dit is is so oulik, vriendelik en gee om oor jou. Hy wil als doen om jou verblyf daar net spesiaal te maak en seker te maak jys gemaklik, tevrede en geniet jou vakansie. Hy het ons selfs op sy eie boot uit gevat op die rivier sonder enige vrae of betaling, net sodat ons dit kan geniet. Ons wil baie graag weer teruggaan na sy plekkie toe en ons vriende en familie saam vat om dit saam ons te deel. (Net 'n "heads up" - daar is baie trappe en baie spinnekoppe buite in die bome - let wel niks gevaarlik of oorweldigend nie.)

Fantastic beautiful, clean, peaceful, helpful, caring.

I recommend the God's Window Cottage accommodations 100%. The place to stay is so beautiful, clean and tidy. The environment outside the cottage is incredibly beautiful, looks like tropical forests. The owner (uncle) whose place it is is so cute, friendly and cares about you. He wants to do everything to make your stay there special and make sure you are comfortable, satisfied and enjoy your holiday. He even took us out on his own boat on the river without any questions or payment, just so we could enjoy it. We would very much like to go back to his place and take our friends and family to share it with us. (Just a heads up - there are lots of stairs and lots of spiders out in the trees - mind you, nothing dangerous or overwhelming.)
