Ons kon swem en braai, wat lekker was.

Dit is 'n mooi kothuis met goeie geriewe, veral swembad- en braaiareas. Terwyl ek buite gestort het, het die eienaar (man) verby my geloop. Dit het my baie ongemaklik laat voel. Verder is hulle wagwoord (WiFi) G-spot), wat uiters onaanvaarbaar is. Dit het my onmiddellik ongemaklik laat voel.

We were able to swim and barbecue, which was nice.

It is a nice cottage with good facilities, especially pool and braai areas. While I was taking a shower outside, the owner (man) walked past me. It made me feel very uncomfortable. Furthermore, their password (WiFi) is G-spot), which is extremely unacceptable. This immediately made me feel uncomfortable.

Karoo Cottage 's response

Our website clearly advertises that Karoo Cottage has an outdoor shower only. This is very well concealed behind dense vegetation thus ensuring privacy, and use thereof is entirely optional for guests. On no account is there any valid reason to intimate voyeuristic intentions on the part of the owners, myself, or my husband. This remark is unfair, ungracious, and untrue. Because the shower is so well concealed, my husband was not aware it was in use and only realized the mistake as he was passing. He was embarrassed at the mistake but as it was not mentioned by the guest, he did not approach her later with his apology.
The network password is in fact G-spot. A little humour is required here. Our surname is Graham and Karoo Cottage, McGregor, is our special spot on the planet. Any further association with the name is entirely the perception of the person who may feel affronted and most certainly does not have any unsavory intentions.

Lovely cottage with beautiful garden and swimming pool.

Loved the swimming pool and the beautiful surrounding garden. So many birds chirping as we cooled down in the pool. Felt at home. Enjoyed the outdoor shower. The cottage had everything we needed and was nice and cool over the hot weekend.

Baie gelukkig met wat ons gekry het.

Huisie was baie netjies, net jammer daar was nie 'n stort in die huis nie. Daar is wel 'n buitestort waarmee ons nie gemaklik was nie, want dit is reg onder twee van die huisvensters. Bed en kussings was baie gerieflik.

Very happy with what we got.

The house was very neat, just a pity there was no shower in the house. There is an outside shower which we were not comfortable with as it is right under two of the house windows. Bed and pillows were very comfortable.

Our stay was wonderful. We felt very welcome.

Karoo Cottage is well equipped and the joy of climbing into a bed made with lovely linen after a busy day was a treat. Our hosts, Rob and Cher, are friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and so helpful. We enjoyed the garden and the bird life is quite special. Will definitely stay there again.

Very chilled weekend.

Rob an Cheer are warm welcoming hosts who do not disturb your own privacy. The Cottage is beautiful and well equipped - both in kitchen and entertainment area (CD player, board games, magazines & books) the garden unique and beauteous - a paradise for many birds we enjoyed some relaxing time by the pool. I will definitely come back for a weekend to switch off.

Eet, slaap, swem, herhaal.

Ons het 'n heerlike naweek gehad in Rob en Cher se pragtige Karoo Cottage. Die blyplek is toegerus met alles, van muskietnet tot selfs 'n CD-speler. Die tuin is 'n lushof en ons het dit baie geniet om vir al die voëls te kyk en luister. Wat Karoo Cottage so besonders maak, is dat 'n mens in die winter ook heerlik sal kan kuier. Ek kan al sien hoe ek op die bank voor die stofie sit en boeklees. Ons sal Karoo Cottage met groot entoesiasme vir enigiemand kan aanbeveel.

Eat, sleep, swim, repeat.

We had a lovely weekend in Rob and Cher's beautiful Karoo Cottage. The accommodation is equipped with everything from mosquito nets to even a CD player. The garden is a loop court and we really enjoyed watching and listening for all the birds. What makes Karoo Cottage so special is that you will also be able to visit in the winter. I can already see myself sitting on the sofa in front of the sofa and reading a book. We would be able to recommend Karoo Cottage to anyone with great enthusiasm.

A beautifully appointed cottage in a small town with an interesting history and a lively community.

The owners went out of their way to welcome us, and assist us with information. The cottage has all you require, and is decorated in a stylishly artistic manner. A friendly cat, Toby, joins in with enthusiasm. The braai and outdoor area are lovely, and well above the utilitarian, and the outdoor shower is a winner. And a local restaurant provided an outstanding meal at a reasonable price. All in all, a really relaxing stay in a quiet and interesting village.

I am sorry about the delay in acknowledging your very positive review following your stay at Karoo Cottage from 28th to 30th April.
Cher & I are spending a few days in Knysna at the moment which has provided me with the opportunity to clear my email backlog. We enjoyed meeting you and Maja, forgive the spelling! and hope to have the opportunity to host you again at some time in the future.
Thanks again for taking the time to write the review.

Lovely cottage, friendly hosts.

Characterful cottage, friendly hosts and well positioned in McGregor. The lovely garden and pool and outside shower are shared with the hosts, but they are discrete and did not hamper our enjoyment of these shared spaces.
