Pragtige dorpie met 'n besonderse atmosfeer.

Ons het net een nag by Maggie's Gift oorgebly en sou graag langer daar wou oorbly.

Een van die beste plekke waar ons al oorgebly het!

Die enigste probleem was dat ons verblyf te kort was. Sou baie langer as die 2 nagte wou bly! Die dekor is pragtig. Alle toerusting is modern, die plek is skoon. Alles wat mens nodig het was daar, asook die ekstra 'touch' soos wit rose hier en daar en selfs in die wasbakke in die badkamers. Pragtige tuin! Baie dankie.

One of the best places we have stayed!

The only problem was that our stay was too short. Would have liked to stay much longer than the 2 nights! The decor is beautiful. All equipment is modern, the place is clean. Everything you need was there, as well as the extra 'touch' such as white roses here and there and even in the sinks in the bathrooms. Beautiful garden! Thank you very much.

Aangenaam.

Wil graag positiewe kritiek lewer: Oorweeg om duvet inners te vervang. Baie dun. Oorweeg om aandag aan stortdeur/rubbers/badkamer te gee. Verder was alles lekker en goed, baie dankie.

Pleasant.

Would like to provide positive criticism: Consider replacing duvet inners. Very thin. Consider paying attention to shower door/rubbers/bathroom. Other than that, everything was nice and good, thank you very much.

A comfortable and well appointed cottage and perfect base.

We were in McGregor during the coldest weekend in the history of the world. For this particular weekend, it would have been nice to have a little heater (we spent some time reading and writing - which was the aim of the weekend). The TV remotes do need some instructions - they were impenetrable and it would have been nice to have some music at some stage. The cottage was well positioned in terms of getting to the town and we really enjoyed the local restaurants and coffee shops (and even an impromptu yoga class). Enjoyed our weekend very much. Thank you.

Nice weekend getaway spot.

Neat and well equipped unit, although the kitchen was a little tight for 4 adults, but with all the facilities you need, including a dishwasher. It should better suit a couple, or a family with 1 or 2 smaller children. McGregor is a great destination for walking and cycling, in and out of town. Unfortunately we had very bad weather for most of the long weekend, but on day 3 it was pleasant to spend the evening outside on the large veranda, which is exclusively available to guests when the owners are not using the main house. Nice view of the garden and horses, when one had to be indoors, from the living room. I think security gates behind the car parking spaces would be a good upgrade, after one of the neighbors advised us to remove als from the cars overnight, and we also experienced unsolicited knocks on the front door.

We thought it would be good, but it completely surpassed our expectations, it was superb and we love it.

This is simply not just another self-catering cottage, it adjoins the owner's holiday home, so those who this does not suit, should note it is not a free standing cottage on its own property. That said, the owners allow you complete privacy and the attention to detail is impeccable. Beautifully equipped and everything worked perfectly, also spotlessly clean, it has a very good location in the upper section of McGregor which is where you want to be. We would certainly return and highly recommend it.

Die beste selfsorg akkommodasie wat jy kan begeer.

Met my aankoms by Maggie's Gift het ek soos 'n eregas gevoel. Is hartlik verwelkom en deur die stylvolle woonstel met vars rose in elke vertrek geneem. Die woonstel is deeglik toegerus en daar was selfs beskuit by die boeretroos. In die goedversorgde tuin hang die geur van rose en laventel op jou pad na die braai-area. Soek jy dus rus vir jou siel, kom na McGregor waar mens nog stop dat die tarentaalgesin oor die straat kan loop.

The best self-catering accommodation you can ask for.

On arrival I felt like a guest of honour. I was heartily welcomed and taken to a stylish flat with fresh roses in every room. The flat is fully equipped and there was even rusks to go with the coffee. In the well-manicured garden the scent of roses and lavender follows you to the braai area. If you're looking for rest for your soul, come to McGregor, a place where people stop for a passing guinea fowl family.

Rustige wegbreek vir iemand wat hard werk!

Ons was baie in ons skik omdat alles pragtig is en luuks. Net die beste was tot ons beskikking. Ons het heerlik uitgerus en gelees aan die boeke en tydskrifte in die huis. Die tuin is soos 'n oase en ons wou net heeltyd op die stoep kuier met die pragtige tuin om na te kyk. Ons het wel al die DVD's reeds gesien - maar dit is nie hulle skuld nie! Ons het ons TV kanale gemis, maar ons kon lees, so dit is fine. Ons sal graag weer eendag daar wil gaan kuier!

Peaceful getaway for someone who works hard!

We were very pleased because everything is beautiful and luxurious. Only the best was at our disposal. We had a great rest and got to read to the books and magazines in the house. The garden is like an oasis and we just wanted to spend time on the patio with the beautiful garden to look at. We have already seen all the DVDs - but it is not their fault! We missed our TV channels but we could read, so that's fine. We would love to visit again someday!

Netjies, maar nie privaat nie.

Maggie's Gift is netjies, maar daar was dinge wat kwel: ons het spesifiseer ons wil twee king size beddens opgemaak hê, toe was in die een kamer twee enkelbeddens wat toe eers oor-opgemaak moes word. Die eenheid loop uit op 'n grasperk en tuin waar ook ander mense rondgeloop het, dus het ons nie privaat gevoel nie. Daar was ook 'n verwer wat ook daar rond gewerk het. Voorts is die WiFi sodanig swak dat ons nie kon werk of e-posse kry nie, wat problematies vir beide van ons is. Die DVD-speler het nie gewerk tot iemand dit kom regmaak het twee aande later. Die haardroër was nie waar dit veronderstel was om volgens die lysie te wees nie (dit was in die ander kamer) so ook die muskietprop, so ons moes soek daarvoor. Die sleutel tot die agterstoep was nêrens te vinde nie, en ons moes die volgende dag hoor dis iewers in 'n blikkie. Die plek was dus nie so gerieflik en privaat soos ek gewoond is tydens naweke weg nie.

Neat, but not private.

Maggie's Gift is neat, but there were things that bothered us: we specified that we wanted two king size beds made up, then in one room there were two single beds which then had to be made over. The unit opens onto a lawn and garden where other people were also walking around, so we didn't feel private. There was also a painter working around there too. Also, the WiFi is so weak that we couldn't work or get emails, which is problematic for both of us. The DVD player didn't work until someone came to fix it two nights later. The hair dryer was not where it was supposed to be according to the listing (it was in the other room) as was the mosquito plug so we had to search for it. The key to the back porch was nowhere to be found, and we were told the next day that it was in a tin somewhere. So the place was not as comfortable and private as I am used to during weekends away.

Perfect self-contained abode in quaint town.

I was surprised at how big this place was and how nice it was fitted out, it felt homely and spacious from the minute we walked in. An added surprise was the TV and DVD's, nice to settle in for a night and enjoy the lofted lounge room. On the main road so everything is within walking distance and the host was great too.

Ek was verras oor hoe groot en goed toegerus die verblyf was en hoe huislik dit gevoel het. Die TV en DVD's was 'n lekker ekstra en ons kon heerlik in die sitkamer ontspan. Alles wat jy nodig het is in die hoofstraat, is binne loopafstand en die gasheer was wonderlik.
