Hilltop Cottage

Well equipped space to chill.

The cottage is well equipped and comfortable, though quite small. I wouldn't recommend large people stay here as the bathroom is really tiny. It's a lovely space for dogs, and there is a fence and gates if you need them. It was raining and cold, so we couldn't use the lovely outside space, but we did use the indoor fire. There is a lovely dam with a pool house on the property. I wish the weather had been better so we could have enjoyed this more. There had been a lot of rain, and the road to the place was very slippery. I saw a couple of cars being pulled out of ditches, so drive slowly when it's wet!

Gerieflike akkommodasie met asemrowende uitsig.

Stephen het ons baie tuis laat voel. Die akkommodasie was gerieflik en die uitsigte asemrowend mooi. Dit het gesneeu maar die kaggelvuurtjie het ons heerlik warm gehou. Stephen, baie dankie vir al die gratis hout. Stapgeleentheid in die veld en langs die rivier. Heelwat voëls gesien. Sal definitief weer daar wil tuisgaan.

Very well-kept property highly recommended for a quiet farm stay.

A most peaceful and comfortable stay. Off the grid so no worries about load shedding.

Quiet cottage in a remote part of the Drakensberg.

Does not have premium DStv as stated in advertisement. Only has Openview and no internet.

Neat place with beautiful view.

Open space with a lovely area to relax and have a view of the awesome mountains.

Asemrowende uitsig, rus vir die siel.

Ons het heerlik gebly in Shephards Cottage saam met ons twee woefs. Baie dankie vir al die hout, met die koue weer het ons sommer die binneshuis kaggel ook gebruik. Sal beslis weer kom kuier.

Gemaklik, skoon en pragtige verblyf.

Ons het ons wegbreeknaweek vreeslik geniet. Dit is veilig, privaat en die natuurskoon is pragtig. Daar is baie om te doen op die plaas as jy hou van stap, visvang of swem in die helder bergrivier en dam. Die kaggel was 'n bonus vir die koue nagte en die eienaars het ons baie welkom laat voel. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Fantastiese plek met ongelooflike uitsigte.

Absolute gasvryheid, vriendelik, fantastiese wegbreek met ongelooflike uitsigte.

Uitstekend!

Wat ‘n pragtige plek. Alles waaraan jy kan dink was beskikbaar in die huis. Die eienaar was baie vriendelik en behulp saam. Ons het baie lekker gebly en die uitsig was asemrowend. Baie dankie weereens.

This place do sell views! We absolutely loved it.

Everything about this Cottage ticked the boxes. We could only spend one night, but it will remain our our list for a longer, return visit. Hosts were awesome too!

Peaceful weekend surrounded by nature.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shepherd's Cottage. The hosts were very welcoming and we had a wonderful walk on the farm. The sky is clear at night and perfect for any stargazer currently trapped in a concrete jungle. We'll definitely visit again!

Ons het beplan om Sanipas te doen en het bekostigbare, hondevriendelike verblyf naby Underberg benodig.

Die uitsigte, die plaasgevoel, die baie netjiese en skoon klein herdershut. Ons was aangenaam verras en het heerlik gebly. Die honde was veilig agter ogiesdraad in 'n netjiese tuin. Dit was heerlik om die plaasdiere te beskou vanaf die stoep. Perde, hoenders, skape en beeste. Daar was genoeg hout om die kaggel aan te steek: dit was 'n koue, reënerige, naweek. Die verblyf het al ons verwagtinge oortref en sal graag weer 'n paar dae spandeer, ons kan dit sterk aanbeveel.

Net die regte plek om alleen weer jou siel te vind.

Na die dood van 'n geliefde het ek vars berglug, stilte vir die siel, skoonheid vir die oog en vrede vir die hart gevind.

Wegbreek van die gejaag na 'n rusplek met die pragtigste uitsig van Drakensberge en die saligheid van die plaaslewe.

Was hartlik en vriendelik ontvang. Die woonplek was skoon en netjies en meer as genoeg braaihout tot mens se beskikking! Vars plaaseiers tot jou beskikking om die dag af te skop. Dan weer te kyk na die pragtige Drakensberge (Lesotho) met al die mooi om en voor dit. Dit is regtig elke sent werd gewees en ons sal weer daar kom oorbly met ons 4 furry babies, hulle het die plaaslewe (skape/hoenders/beeste/perde) so geniet. Dankie dat ons so stukkie kon deel van julle elke dag.

Truly had a very pleasant time at the farm!

It was a very relaxing atmosphere, quiet and peaceful and plenty of fresh air that makes one want to just sit and do nothing but admire the views as well as watching the sheep and horses grazing nearby! The river that runs along the border of the farm was spectacular! If you need a break and rest, it's recommended.

A stunning, quiet gem.

My lady and I were at the end of our honeymoon and decided on impulse to go to Underberg from Umhlanga. We chose the venue primarily because it has a king-size bed. What we couldn't have known when we booked was the breathtaking view that would greet us. The owner of Farraway Farm, Stephen, is right when he said, "It's hard to read here. The mountains demand to be looked at." With it's spot on a hill there is a vast and unimpeded view of the flat plain showing open grazing fields, a swimming dam and mountains in the distance fit for any Lord of The Rings reenactment. There is a swing chair that allows you a comfy spot from which to take all this in. The silence of this place is all encompassing. Serene would be the right word. As an unexpected treat, it snowed the night we were there and we awoke to white capped mountains marking the Lesotho border. Awesome. You don't need a 4X4 to get there but be prepared for a 20+ minute dirt road drive to get there.

Ongelooflike mooi plek met 'n uitsig vir dae.

Baie rustig en lekker. Baie netjies en skoon. Alles was perfek. Huisie was silwerskoon toe ons daar aankom. Kon nie glo hoe mooi die uitsig was nie.

Asemrowend!

Hilltop Cottage is op die rand van 'n redelike groot vallei geleë met die Suidelike Drakensberge in die agtergrond op 'n afstand van +- 5-8 km. Die uitsig is asemrowend, sneeu op van die hoër pieke en 'n bergstroom in die voorgrond wat rustig voort kabbel, die perfekte resep om van 'n besige werksomgewing af weg te kom. Die verblyf is uiters gerieflik, skoon en netjies en die eienaar Stephen gaan uit sy pad uit om jou verblyf gerieflik te maak. 'n Definitiewe moet vir natuur liefhebbers!
