Unspoilt but peaceful.
If you don't mind cold bath, self-catering with only one small saucepan, smell of fermented fruit and a fridge that is just a big cool box and keep everything just lukewarm and look for a real farm and take it as it comes break away, then the place is right for you. Regardless of all the challenges, we really enjoyed our visit.

For the price we expected more.
Toilet seat completely loose/broken. Two bedside lights do not work. There needs to be better communication about Wi-Fi/signal not being there. Our outdoor shower was closed and was shown to use other outdoor shower. Door doesn't lock properly from inside and son (who lives next door) walks in on my teenage daughter getting dressed. Unacceptable that they didn't know we use the same outdoor shower. Inside is only a bath.

Refreshing farm feel and lovely quiet with all the amenities needed for the winter cold. Maybe you can add a braai bowl for the braai meat. We were the only guests for the weekend, but still felt safe. Furthermore, we had a wonderful stay after initial shortages in the kitchen, but these were quickly resolved. We didn't meet the hostess, but the service was good from the caretaker.

Oak Lane Cottages is perfectly located for traveling to surrounding tourist attractions. We visited Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, the Paarl, Somerset West and Worcester while we were there. The accommodation is clean and tidy, very comfortable with everything you could need. It was wonderful to come home after a busy day and sit on the porch and hear only the silence around you, while taking in the scenery.

Holiday. Central point from where we could visit the area.
Beautiful surroundings, rural, farm atmosphere among the pear orchards. Our children with two grandsons (6 and 4 years old) also spent two nights there. Really enjoyed the playground and nice lawns. The old type of cottage Rosemarie was a very nice place for us - on one side, big oak tree, barbecue area.

Ek sal dit bespreek met my span - die huisie se kombuis was oor geverf aan die binnekant in Julie en ek is tans besig met planne vir nog veranderinge sodra my begroting dit toe laat. Ek is die nuwe eienaar en ek het die plek oorgevat tydens lockdown die begin van die jaar.
Ons sien uit om julle weer te verwelkom op die plaas!

Still, the place feels homely and cozy and guests get value for their money. The friendly and helpful reception counts a lot.

Beautiful farm in a peaceful environment.
We lived in Braeburn. It's near the river and you can hear the water. The braai place is under a lovely big oak tree on the river's bank. Lovely bed, good bedding and a nice stove that we heated, because it was cold with rain. Something I would like to suggest might be a two seater bench in the kitchen or living room. We had so much fun at the stove, but it would have been so much nicer if we could sit comfortably and not on the kitchen table chairs. I will go again if we get the chance.

Delicious braai area in the kitchen, which also helps to keep out the cold. Note, however, that Internet reception struggles a bit, which actually makes it even more enjoyable.

Wonderful, peaceful getaway.
Very nice, clean and neat. Will definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway away from everything. Area is very beautiful and cottages well above expectations! Enough wood is provided to keep the fireplace going, which helped a lot with the cold. The only problem was the shower: after the first use it didn't have any more hot water. It was repaired by the handyman, but then it alternated between hot and cold, which resulted in a struggle to shower. Besides that, it was wonderful!

Adequate but can improve
Everything you need is there and everything is tidy. Unfortunately the kitchen cupboards inside were not the cleanest and there were cobwebs inside the cupboards. As well as cobwebs in the roof of the kitchen. There was a problem with the gas geyser but after we called the caretaker, they came to fix it.

Hi Gino,
I am sorry you felt you chose badly but we have never claimed to have Wi-Fi or showers in the rooms. We do supply firewood in order for you to make use of the indoor fireplace. As stated on our profile, our cottages are refurbished labourers cottages that are perhaps better suited to someone wanting a country getaway.
