Everything we needed.

My husband was on business in the area, a nice little cottage for me to relax in.

Geen kommunikasie vanaf die eienaars nie.

Ons het die aand laat by die Pennygum Cottages aangekom. Die inkloktyd is 19:00. Ons het vooraf gereël met Pierre dat ons later eers daar sal kan arriveer en daar was vir ons gesê ons moet net bel as ons daar kom. Ons het om en by 18:30 by die hek gestop, en gebel en geen van ons oproepe was geantwoord nie. Ons het omgery na 'n hek wat oopgestaan het en het gaan klop aan gaste wat reeds daar ingeboek is om vir ons te wys waarheen ons kan gaan. Die huis se deur wat ons geboek het het net oopgestaan. Ons het geen kommunikasie vanaf die eienaars gekry voor of na ons verblyf geboek was nie. Behalwe vir dit, was ons verblyf baie aangenaam.

No communication from the owners.

We arrived at the Pennygum Cottages late in the evening. The check-in time is 19:00. We pre-arranged with Pierre that we would only be able to arrive there later and we were told to just call when we got there. We stopped at the gate around 18:30, and called and none of our calls were answered. We drove around to an open gate and knocked on guests who had already checked in to show us where we could go. The door of the house we booked just stood open. We received no communication from the owners before or after our stay was booked. Other than that, our stay was very pleasant.

Pleasant stay, owners give excellent service and farm stay at its best!

Highly recommended! Owners are friendly and helpful! Lovely cottage with feeling of love and care. Everything needed and more. Feels like a farm stay, friendly dogs, braai facilities, good WiFi. Africa Rooftop Tours picked us up at the gate for a splendid 4x4 tour in Lesotho up Sani Pass.

It was pleasant but there were a few things that were out of place that will make us not go there again.

Our stove didn't work. The plot or farm workers' house is meters from our cottage, which I think is very poor. They played their music loudly and spoke very loudly at times. All day Thursday and Friday, the gardeners ate wheat and walked back and forth across the lawn with a wheelbarrow. It really bothered us, we drove very very far to get away from the hustle and bustle and city noise and to enjoy absolute peace and quiet of the beautiful scenery around us. It wasn't nice. It could be arranged that the workers do not work when there are guests. Then the outside electric gate did not work, and it was a safety risk for us as only ladies, as well as for our vehicle which was parked right by the gate. When we got there there was only a 2-seater couch in the living room and no bed for the third person (child). The owners knew we booked for 3 people and they didn't prepare accordingly. They had to bring us an extra chair and a stretcher. These are small things, but which matter a lot and I got the feeling that we are not really important to them. The lady who received us was very friendly and helpful and the place was clean and tidy.

Comfy and sweet.

We had the most magnificent holiday enjoying the orchards and surrounding sites and activities. Our cottage was small, warm and comfortable. The only thing that was a minor frustration is the one bathroom door that knocks into the bedroom door, but the kids didn't mind and it wasn't a major issue. The views were spectacular and watching the sunset behind the mountains was just breathtaking! Amazing restaurants about 2 to 5 kilometers away in either direction and horse-riding just up the road, too. Plenty for the kids to do.

Teleurgesteld met die verblyfplek, maar omgewing en uitsig was baie mooi.

Toe ons daar instap het dit nie netjies gelyk nie. Die mat was vuil en gebrand en die bed was stukkend. Buitekant was nie veilig nie, want daar was geen sekuriteitsligte nie, ook nêrens ander ligte nie. Was elke aand stikdonker. Daar was ook geen heining vir die honde nie. Dit sê troeteldiervriendelik, maar hoekom moet mens betaal? Dit moet mos eintlik ingesluit wees by die bedrag wat jy betaal. Ander het ook gekla toe hulle een hond bring. Ek het nooit so 'n probleem met vorige besprekings gehad nie. Ons sal in die vervolg baie versigtig moet wees met bespreking. Ek was eintlik skaam toe my skoondogter en seun my daarvan vertel.

Disappointed with the accommodation, but the surroundings and view were very nice.

When we walked in it didn't look neat. The carpet was dirty and burnt and the bed was broken. Outside was not safe as there were no security lights, nor any other lights anywhere. Was pitch black every night. There was also no fence for the dogs. It says pet friendly, but why pay? It should actually be included in the amount you pay. Others also complained when they brought one dog. I never had such a problem with previous bookings. We will have to be very careful with booking in the future. I was actually embarrassed when my daughter-in-law and son told me about it.

Good day,

Sorry, you were disappointed. We do not have lights everywhere as most people like the dark and dogs are supposed to be on leads and under your control at all times. You did not mention anything to my staff about your concerns or even contact me so it is very difficult to help guests when we are not informed of any problems

Definitief verblyf om te vermy.

Die plek is verwaarloos. Sekuriteistshek, deur en vensterknippe stukkend. Daar was geen braaiplek soos in die advertensie aangedui is nie. Die een bed se matras was slegs 'n duim dik materiaalopstopsel. Die mat voor die kaggel is vol brandmerke. Vuurmaakhout was beskikbaar teen buitensporige prys.

Definitely stay to avoid.

The place is neglected. Security gate, door and window latches broken. There was no barbecue area as indicated in the advertisement. The one bed's mattress was only an inch thick fabric padding. The carpet in front of the fireplace is full of burn marks. Firewood was available at an exorbitant price.

Ondervinding van die plek was nie 'n tuiskom-gevoel nie.

Met aankoms by Pennygum Country Cottages het ons gasvryheid verwag, maar is net ontvang met 'n sleutel. Die persoon wat tuinmaak het blare rondom ons skoon gemaak, maar nooit by ons nie.

Pleasant enough.

I thought that R1700 for two nights was a little steep considering the bed in the lounge of the African Dream cottage is a futon bed which was so hard it felt like you were sleeping on a cement floor! The mattress was so thin you could feel the slates underneath. A new sleeper couch in the lounge would be a better option.

Geen klagtes.

Afdak vir gaste se voertuie sal aanbeveel word. Skoonmaakdienste sluit die was van skottelgoed uit, dit moet vooraf gesê word en nie eers by aankoms nie. Hout vir kaggel kan vir die eerste aand se kaggelvuur verskaf word. Die prys van R50 per krat is buitensporig duur.

Ongelukkig is die verblyf nie vir 5 volwassenes nie, maar eerder vir 4 met 'n klein kind en dit kom nie duidelik uit tydens die bespreking nie. Daar was 'n probleem met die dreinering van afvoerpype, maar dit is binne 'n paar uur regestel.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs, rustige atmosfeer.

Ontvangs soos ek in my lewe nog nie gehad het nie! Paul en Sarah meng gemaklik met gaste en deel graag inligting omtrent die omgewing. Die kothuis was volledig toegerus en genoeg komberse om die koue uit te hou! Dit is 'n pragtige omgewing en maklik bereikbaar en naby genoeg aan eetplekkies vir die dae wat self kosmaak nie op die spyskaart is nie.

Die plekkie is baie goed ingerig en op so 'n goeie plek geleë. Ek sal definitief die plek vir almal aan beveel. Dis baie goed ingerig, netjies en daar is sommer 'n warm atmosfeer vandat jy daar stop tot jy weer ry.

Relaxed getaway.

Our stay at Pennygum was lovely, very relaxed. It was great to get out of the city. We arrived at night and when we woke up there was this most amazing view of the mountains, it was just beautiful. The days were warm and the nights were freezing! There's a lovely fireplace in the lounge, but the rest of the house is very cold. There were several hot water bottles that were just magic! Paul and Sarah were amazing hosts, very friendly and helpful. They made us feel so comfortable.

Baie mooi ligging, netjiese kothuis en vriendelike ontvangs.

Baie mooi en netjies, vriendelike ontvangs. My enigste kritiek is dat teen R900 per nag verwag mens darem dubbellaag toiletpapier asook koffie, Cremora en suiker vir die oggend. Ons het net vir een nag oorgebly en ons het dus nie al daardie items saamgebring nie. Ons moes die dag sonder koffie aandurf.

Sarah at Pennygum is very friendly and welcomed us with open arms. The rooms were neat, the kitchen clean and the location was good. It's close to Underberg and is located in a very nice area.

Beautiful setting, lovely accommodations, inviting hosts

Hosts were friendly and helpful. Accommodation was clean, well-stocked and inviting. Setting was beautiful, with wonderful views of the mountains. Very convenient to activities in the southern Drakensberg.

Baie lekker gekuier, hartlike ontvangs!

Ons het die kuier baie geniet in asemrowende natuurskoon met 'n dagbesoek aan die Sani.

Mens sal ver soek vir 'n vriendeliker ontvangs as hier.

Kombuis is klein, maar gerieflik ingerig. Hou van die radio in die slaapkamer. Lekker driehoekbad om in te ontspan met 'n glasie wyn.

One will look far for a friendlier reception than here.

Kitchen is small, but comfortably furnished. Love the radio in the bedroom. Nice triangular bath to relax in with a glass of wine.

Wonderful relaxing weekend amongst nature and homely surroundings

I was proud to take an exchange student from Sweden to experience Underberg - a majestic and magical part of our wonderful country, where the colours and scenery adjust with every moment of the day.

Die eienaars is super cool mense, dit was so lekker!

Kan die verblyf enige tyd aanbeveel. Die area bied baie en die atmosfeer is tipies "old English" . Waarde vir geld, 10/10 voorwaar.

Great , lovely location, thatched cottages - thought cleanliness was a problem.

Set in a lovely location and thatch is always fun and lends to the African experience. The owners are lovely, welcoming, warm people. We did book very last minute and were not really prepared for self catering. There was coffee and sugar but no milk or creamer. I do believe that more effort could be made with cleaning. The shower especially needs a really good scrub! Mattress and pillows were uncomfortable. Otherwise, great stay.
