Morning Glory Cottages

Excellent!

Very friendly staff, magnificent food, spacious room, very clean

Very comfortable pleasant stay.

Easy to find. Friendly and helpful host. Beautiful quiet setting. Clean rooms with all you need. Will definitely return.

Dit is 'n baie rustige en veilige plek om te bly.

Goeie verbly en goeie kos gehad. Die manier van kos bedien was uitstekend. Baie gasvry en vriendelike mense.

Baie Gasvry.

Ons was baie vriendelik ontvang.

Stil en die natuurskoon en vars lug wonderlik.

Bietjie van hoofroete af op pad Kaap toe, maar moeite werd. Voorbereide aandete uit boonste rakke!

Delicious food, comfortable and clean accommodation and great setting!

This is a repeat stay and we were not disappointed. Lynette was a delightful host, and our overnight stay at this beautiful stud farm, en route back to Johannesburg, was great!

Wonderful setting. Nice facilities, friendly staff good value for money.

Food was very good. Rooms clean, decent air conditioning system! Definitely stay there again.

Lekker plek om te oornag wanneer mens op pad see toe is.

'n Heerlike rustige plek om te oornag, met 'n wonderlike uitsig, ons het werklik dit baie geniet.

Kort, kragtig, mooi.

Die plaas is baie mooi en die mense is vriendelik. Hulle maak baie moeite in jou aankoms en verduidelik alles vir jou. Die kamer was mooi skoon. Nonna die Boerboel het die mooiste persoonlikheid. Regtig pret gehad.

Rus vir die siel na lang pad.

Perfekte oornagstop.

Absolute rustigheid en gemak.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang en ons kamer was besonders netjies en goed ingerig. Die perseel is veilig en die tuine pragtig. Mens kan net ontspan en die rustigheid geniet.

Dit was wonderbaarlik lekker, en ons het dit vreeslik geniet.

Morning Glory het ons wittebrood baie spesiaal gemaak.

Dit was lekker om so gerieflik en huislik te verkeer na 2 dae op die pad.

Almal was baie vriendelike en behulpsaam. Lekker plaas atmosfeer. Die kamers het ons baie verras. Baie gerieflik.

Lekker rustige oornag met baie mooi gerieflikke groot kamers

Dis lekker om op die plaas te bly. Personeel is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Jammer die restaurant is toe maar ons braai was heerlik.

Baie veilig en ruim. Pragtige plek, sal weer daar tuisgaan.

Baie dankie aan die vriendelike gasvrou Lynette en die lekker bederf.

Rested well.

We were very kindly received. The unit has everything you could need. Very clean and neat. Delighted. Would definitely recommend.

Peaceful and beautiful nature!

They've done everything you can think of, already for you. Most beautiful place. There are up to a Panado or 2 that you sometimes forget. Definitely worth it. Delighted.

Rus vir die siel.

Wat 'n lekker plekkie om te oornag. Kinders het so lekker gespeel op die plaas. Kamers is pragtig met alles wat jou hart begeer - selfs noodkassie met Panado en Eno’s in. Die piekniek-braaimandjie wat ons bestel het was heerlik. Ons sal vir seker weer terug wees.

Baie gemaklik, rustig en lekker vir die kinders.

Ons was hartlik ontvang. Die verblyf is mooi, netjies. Die plaas is rustig en die diere 'n blye welkom vir die kinders.

Fantasties, beste oorslaapplek nog.

Die beste oornagplek nog! Was aangenaam verras in hoe netjies en skoon die kamers was. Baie fyn detail in alles. Die gasvrou is fenomenaal. Alles was in plek met ons aankoms. Die etes is regtig waarde vir geld. Ons kon regtig nie alles geëet het nie. Die omgewing is pragtig ten spyte van die erge droogte wat die boere tans ervaar. Hierdie plek is regtig 'n stukkie goud! Sal vir seker weer daar oornag of dalk langer bly!

Loved the meals and the quiet.

Enjoyed our overnight stop. Loved the cats, horses, goats and the view. Very comfortable.

Farm fun with animal interactions, wide spaces to walk around and a splash pool to cool off.

A piece of heaven in the Karoo where you can find your soul in the open again. We were able to make friends with the curious Nguni cattle, pet the horses and give the bottle-fed lambs milk. Lovely, spacious room with everything you need and a beautiful garden to make you feel at home. The bar offered us a treat in the heat and the pool was refreshing. Marene showed us the farm and we learned new things about nature. We were able to wander around to our heart's content and take beautiful pictures of the animals and nature.

Excellent.

The staff is very professional and friendly. The braai pack provided was from the top shelves. It was great to walk around the farm and watch the animals. Accommodation was spacious, neat and contained everything that could be needed.

Beyond expectations!

We stayed 2 nights to explore the greater area of the Gariep Dam. Our stay at Morning Glory Cottages was fabulous and we enjoyed every aspect of our stay. A special thanks to Lynnette who looked after us and gave a lot of informative background on the workings of the farm which made our time there so much more interesting! The extra attention to detail of creature comforts in our unit is first class. We spent our 3rd night in Gariep Dam itself and really longed to be back at Morning Glory Cottages. Being in the countryside, on a working farm and in great and relaxing accommodation is far more superior to the fab housing offered in the dorp. Nothing but praise and fond memories for Morning Glory Cottages!

Eenvoudig fantasties!

Wat 'n wonderlike verrassing was Morning Glory nie! Hulle dra jou op die hande. Die aandag aan elke klein detail is ongelooflik. Ons het so bederf gevoel. Met suigstokkies op elke kind se bed, wat meer kan 'n mens vra. Beslis 'n fantastiese stop as jy reis tussen Jhb en die Kaap. Dis die perfekte stop in die middel. En gaan kyk beslis na die Gariepdam. Ek sal enige tyd weer daar oornag. En vir ons perde liefhebbers kon dit nie beter nie. Baie baie dankie Morning Glory Cottages.

Ongelooflike mooi, rustig en veilig.

Beveel dit beslis aan. Dankie Lynette vir die baie goeie ontvangs. Ons het dit regtig baie geniet. Ons het lekker gerus na die lang reis. Ons het die plaas atmosfeer baie geniet. Baie dankie.

Vriendelike mense, pragtige omgewing, netjiese skoon verblyf!

Wat 'n pragtige plek. Die gasvryheid van die mense raak jou hart.

Gerieflik vir oornagbestemming.

Die plaas is baie mooi, maar ons kon ongelukkig nie veel sien nie weens beperkte tyd. Die woonstel was goed toegerus en groot.

Fantastic, exciting and beautiful.

Morning Glory Cottages is recommended to everyone. Extremely neat and a lot of attention to detail. Ourselves and the children thoroughly enjoyed it. Will even stay longer for our next visit.

Baie lekker.

Die plaasatmosfeer, vriendelike mense, lekker kos en mooi kamer het die vakansie baie lekker gemaak. Die stort se waterdruk gee net bietjie probleme maar die bad was heerlik.

Oase in Karoo.

Lynette het ons vriendelik ontvang en alles gewys. Ons het lekker gaan stap op die plaas na ‘n lang tyd in die kar en het ook die wonderlike perde gesien. Die aandete was te heerlik en is voorberei deur Marene. Sy het alles pragtig verduidelik wat in die ete was. Dit is so vreedsaam en rustig op Gelykfontein. Ek kan dit ten hoogste aanbeveel om ‘n rukkie hier te bly. Vir my was dit ‘n trip down memory lane want ek het ongeveer 50 jaar gelede in Venterstad gebly terwyl my ouers op die Gariep Dam gewerk het terwyl dit gebou is. Ek was baie bly oor my keuse om hier te bly. Marene het ook baie ingelegde geodere wat sy verkoop. Dit was die eerste keer dat ek Karoo-komkommer kon eet. Baie lekker.

Can't fault it in any way!

Highly recommended! Homely, so much attention to detail, very well stocked. Friendly and superb service.

Excellent, friendly service and hospitality.

We were warmly received. The cottages are well equipped. The service was definitely the best of all the places we visited. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to meet all our needs. We were treated like kings and spoiled. Definitely worth more than 5 stars! We will definitely stay at Van Villa 2 again. Thank you to all their staff for all the kindness and hospitality.

Ruim, netjiese akkommodasie met lekker onderdakbraaiplek.

Ten spyte van droogte is die plek mooi. Aangename vriendelike gasvrouens wat ons tuis laat voel het. Lekker om na die plaasdiere te kyk wat kamp toe gebring word, selfs Nguni-bokras. Ons sal gewis weer daar oornag op pad Noorde toe en die plek sterk aanbeveel. Dankie Marene en Lynette.

Hidden gem in the Karoo.

What a wonderful stay at Morning Glory Cottages on our way back home to Johannesburg. We were treated like royalty, the most hospitable, warm and welcoming reception and first class treatment. Our stay was topped off with an entirely home-grown and home-cooked 3 course meal, absolutely magnificent. Highly recommend Morning Glory Cottages - truly a hidden gem.

Rustigheid. Natuur. Mooi. Plaas.

Baie dankie vir die vriendelike ontvangs. Ons mooi netjiese cottage. Heerlike braaivleis, slaai en varsgebakte ciabatta! Spierwit beddegoed en heerlike ontbyt. Sal beslis weer kom!

Wonderlik! Sal weer kom. Lekker verblyf, kos, diens, omgewing.

Dit was 'n wonderlike oornag-akkommodasie. Die diens was baie goed, kamers gerieflik en mooi en kos van die beste! Ons kon nie vir beter gevra het nie.

Dit was uitstekend!

Dit was die beste ervaring gewees. As ek nie van beter geweet het nie sou ek sê dit was 'n 5-ster-gastehuis gewees. Mense is baie vriendelik en professioneel gewees en die kos was uit uitstekend gewees. Sal beslis weer daar gaan draai maak. Op my volgende trip.

Beste oornagverblyf tot dusver.

Marene en Lynette die vriendelikste gasvrouens denkbaar. Die slaap- en badkamer voldoen aan alle vereistes. Marene se aandete - Masterchef wenner gehalte! Moes ongelukkig vroeg ry en kon nie die ontbyt ervaar nie.

Very pleasant stay.

The room was very tasteful, clean and comfortable. The hostesses were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food was dished up in such a way that it can be compared with the best restaurants in the cities. I can really recommend the guesthouse to people.

Beautiful warm setting and superb cusine & hospitality.

Morning Glory Cottages are beautifully furnished and comfortable,the setting is breathtaking. With such beautiful horses ,we were lucky to see some 2 week old foals playing with there mothers. The Stud farm has a impressive heritage,it was a privilege for us to experience this first hand. The hospitality is wonderful and the cusine is amazing.

Die rustige atmosfeer en natuurskoon, is 'n wenner!

Die akkommodasie is baie gerieflik, skoon en netjies. Puik braaigeriewe is beskikbaar. Die gasvrou is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Wat my egter bekoor het, is die rustigheid van hierdie mooi plaas en dan veral die omliggende natuurskoon.

Uitstekend, veral die aandete en ontbyt.

Kyk na die 5 sterre vir elke kategorie. Die aandete was seker die beste wat ek nog ooit geëet het en die ontbyt was uitstekend. Die ontvangs en gasvryheid was ook baie goed. As jy ooit in die omgewing van die Gariepdam wil oorbly, is Morning Glory Cottages vir seker die beste opsie.

Voel soos familie.

Dit is ongelooflik mooi en lekker by julle! Ons het so lekker gekuier en was heerlik bederf! Almal is so gasvry. Dit voel omtrent asof mens by familie kuier! Baie dankie vir ‘n heerlike kuier. Ons sal vir seker weer kom kuier.

Heerlik rustig. Ongelooflike kos!

Ons het regtig die aand geniet en die kos was werklik besonders.

Rustig en aards, die aandetes wat die gasvrou self voorberei is 'n moet!

Sien sterre.

All excellent.

Personnel friendly with attention to detail. Room was clean with necessary appliances, etc in place. Meals were great - lamb shank! Surroundings pleasant. Only negative was the shower arrangement- spillage, etc.

Awesome stay.

It is clean, nice food and friendly staff. We enjoyed every moment of it. Mobile phone signal very bad but I don't want signal, I enjoy the quietness.

Gerieflike verblyf in pragtige omgewing.

Ontvangs was hartlik gewees en inligting oor verblyf en dinge te doen op die plaas was sommer dadelik gegee met aankoms. Selfs die groet met vertrek was persoonlik gewees. Puik geriewe.

'n Heerlike uitspan en ontspan na heeldag op d pad!

Ons het in sarsies by Morning Glory aangekom en die ontvangs was elke keer hartlik. Ons het daar aangekom na 'n hewige donderstorm net voor 6nm en hulle was reeds weer besig om die werf in orde te kry vir hul gaste! Ons het die braai-opsie gekies en dit was 'n heerlike ervaring. Alles voorsien en gereed en dit was heerlik!

Aandete bestemming !

Vriendelik ontvang en ingelig deur Lynette. Akkommodasie, ruim, gerieflik en veilig. Pragtige omgewing. Die tuin, ontvangs en restaurantarea skep 'n bekoorlike "village" prentjie. Die hoogtepunt was natuurlik Marene se keurig voorbereide aandete. Elke dis was ook persoonlik deur haar, met sorg, aan ons verduidelik sommer met 'n paar wenke op die koop toe. Dit verdien beslis spesiale vermelding. Dankie julle, vir 'n heerlike ervaring.

Morning Glory Cottage se kos is heerlik!

Ons het ons verblyf by Morning Glory Cottages geniet weens die heerlike kos en die gasvryheid waarmee ons ontvang is.

Spacious and comfortable accommodation.

Delicious meals and friendly service.

Baie vlieë.

Vreeslik vriendelik. Ongelukkig baie vlieë a.g.v. perde.

Boeregasvryheid met flair.

Stylvolle en netjiese verblyf. Ons is deurgaans met gasvryheid en vriendelikheid behandel. Die aandete was werklik iets besonders en ons almal het heerlik geëet!

Absolute oase.

Ons het omtrent 2009 vir die eerste keer daar oorgeslaap en hierdie jaar het ek besluit ek gaan weer. Vir seker een van ons land se topgastehuise. Ek het my verblyf geniet, die ligging van Morning Glory is perfek, personeel is vriendelik en diens is uitstekend. Ontbyt en aandete is voortreflik. Pragtige koel kamers. Baie dankie aan almal by Morning Glory, sien julle in 2018.

Fantastic!

What a wonderful experience!

'n Absolute fees.

Ruim, netjiese kamers. Stilte vir die siel. Aandete uit die boeke uit, bravo. Baie aangename en behulpsame eienaars en personeel.

Fantastic.

It was an experience. Next time we will stay longer. The breakfast was the best.

Lekker rustig en skoon.

Aangename ervaring. Naby hoofpad en dorp. Braaifasiliteite en splash pool. As jy stilte en vrede wil hê is dit die plek vir jou.

Lovely.

Clean, tidy and very friendly host who goes out of his way to make you comfortable.

Was a wonderful experience, great hospitality.

Hospitality, helpful, care about guests.

A wonderful surprise. Worth a visit.

Clean, neat, wonderful farm atmosphere.

Quiet and peaceful.

We had a lovely stay. It was quiet and peaceful while we were there and the stars were clearly visible.

Definitely a winner! Clean, neat and friendly service.

Thanks for the friendly reception, clean and neat rooms and delicious breakfast before we left. Will definitely recommend it.

Fantastic!

Had a nice stopover for one night. Fantastic food and accommodation!

Very nice, would strongly recommend to everyone!

Friendly staff, place very clean and secure. Food is lovely and definitely worth the trouble. They'll definitely see us again in the future.

Local good food and hospitality, we will definitely stay over again!

We had a lovely stay and a very good meal at Morning Glory! The dinner is definitely the highlight with high quality local ingredients and good Karoo mutton. The beautiful horse farm, Gelykfontein is full of surprises if you stay over for more than one night in the Orange area. Do yourself a favor and buy a bottle of canned jam of your choice to enjoy at home. If you drive to the Cape, do yourself a favor and stay over here.

We were very pleasantly surprised with what we found at Morning Glory Cottages.

Upon arrival we were greeted friendly, checked in without any problems, everything was properly explained to us in the room and in the guesthouse. Our room was very neat and fully equipped with everything you need and very tastefully decorated. The highlight was definitely the food and our 3-course dinner was fantastic and can be compared to any good restaurant. The breakfast was also excellent, everything prepared with care. We also received a lot of personal attention. If we return to the area, we will definitely stay there again and we recommend it 100%.

The people were so friendly, beautiful locatio, clean and neat.

Thanks for the wonderful service. The folks at Morning Glory Cottages went out of their way to make us feel welcom and to deal with any issues. Will definitely recommend it.

Pleasantly surprised. Great food and fantastic hospitality.

See rating.

Excellent hosts, quirky rooms and lovely food.

See stars.

Baie mooi het sommer tuis gevoel. Dankie.

Sal beslis weer hier oorbly, dankie.

The peaceful farm atmosphere was so welcome and convenient after a long, hot trip.

The facilities for staying over were very neat. Attention was paid to the finer details. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would surely recommend this place for its hospitality and peacefulness.

Tranquil, friendly, good service.

Can recommend it. The meals were delicious.

Quiet, relaxing farm atmosphere.

Very friendly reception. Delicious dinner and very well prepared. Well equipped and neat unit, very comfortable. We thought it was closer to the banks of the Gariep Dam and this was the only disadvantage.

What a lovely place.

As we were traveling all the way from the Underberg, we needed a peaceful place to stay the night. No better place than Morning Glory. We received a warm welcome. Dinner and breakfast was divine. The room was beautiful, clean and well equipped. Nothing better to get up in the morning with the sounds of animals and the freshness of farm air. Thanks to Marene and Lynette, you're doing a great job. We will be coming back soon!

Baie rustig, veral na 'n lang dag op die pad.

Dis 'n wonderlike plek om af te trek na 'n lang dag op die pad. Die kamers was netjies en skoon met ons aankoms. Die ontbyt was vars en Marené en Lynette baie behulpsaam. Dis net om die draai van Gariepdam.

Absolutely fantastic! Five stars through and through!

What a wonderful place to stay over after a long day on the road. Each small thing was thought of to make the accommodation as comfortable as possible. The hospitality is from another world and the area is beautiful! We booked for supper and it was worth every cent and more. Real farm cuisine and the chicken pie was the highlight. Thank you very much, Morning Glory Cottages that you made such and effort to make our stay there one to remember for years to come.

Wonderful accommodation and food.

Very pretty rooms with all the amenities. The food was 5-star. Very hospitable. Everything was shown and explained to us. Highly recommended.

Goeie waarde vir geld met fantastiese ete!

Pragtige akkommodasie. Fantastiese kos. Wat 'n besondere plek en mense!

'n Oase na 'n lang dag se reis!

Baie vriendelike mense op die plaas. Kamer was mooi ingerig en skoon, alles wat mens kan benodig. Die aandete was baie lekker, ons het dit lekker geniet met een kelkie. Ontbyt was meer as genoeg, jy hoef nie op die pad te eet nie! Kan dit verseker aanbeveel aan almal, ek sal seker elke keer as ek moet oorbly soontoe gaan.

Uitstekend!

Heerlike verblyf op 'n ou plaas, dis al 132 jaar in die familie. Aandete was ongelooflik.

Verfrissend! Pragtige verblyf!

Het 'n heerlike nagrus gehad! Lieflike atmosfeer, soos 'n vars briesie in die wêreld! Dankie vir die ongelooflike ontvangs en gasvryheid!

Perfekte oorslaap-plek.

Ons was heerlik verras gewees, lekker oorstop-plekkie, lieflike Karoo-ontbyt.

Heel vriendelijk en gastvrij ontvangen, goede plak, en zeer goede maaltijd.

Heel laat geboekt, en daardoor niet kunnen reserveren voor de avondmaaltijd. Toch bleken we er te kunnen eten, en die maaltijd was buitengewoon goed! De plek is een fijne plak om te vertoeven, beslist aan te raden!

100% waarde vir geld.

Die gemmerbier met ontvangs en etes het ons asems weggeslaan - onverbeterlik! Ons het egte Karoogasvryheid ervaar. Die verblyf is keurig en linne kraakvars. Ons kom definitief weer na Morning Glory toe!

Great stopover on the way back to Johannesburg.

Very pretty in the trees with an awesome little pool. We enjoyed walking around looking at the baby animals and horses. Delicious dinner! Great stay on our way back to Jhb. It would have been nice if the kids got a chance to feed the animals, but we only found out it was an option after they had been fed. Dinner was really delicious and they catered for the kids too. A really lovely stopover! Thank you!

Rustig, lafenis na 'n lang reis.

Ons het die diere vreeslik geniet!

Uitsonderlike diens, kos en gasvryheid!

Soveel ekstra moeite is gedoen, soos om 'n kot in die kamer in te dra vir ons baba. Die heerlikste kos, mooiste tuin en lekker beddens! Kamer en badkamer was mooi, skoon en ruim. Morning Glory word ten sterkste aanbeveel!! Baie dankie aan die span!

My man en kind het dit regtig geniet.

Volgens hulle was die aandete uit die boonste rakke en die mense baie vriendelik. My dogtertjie het veral van die perde gehou.

Fantastiese ervaring.

Almal vriendelik en kos 6-ster.

Uitstekende oornagverblyf tussen Gauteng en die Oos-Kaap.

Besondere gasvryheid het ons hier ervaar. 'n Pragtige kamer met alles wat mens benodig vir oorslaap in die pragtige Karoo. Lynette se verwelkoming was hartlik en sjef Marené se kos uit die boonste rakke. Sal beslis weer hier wil oorbly.

Kan hulle hoogs aanbeveel.

Baie vriendelik en beoog om weer tyd op die plaas te bestee. Kos was uit die boonste rakke.
