Wonderskoon, rustig, veilig en privaat.

So lekker gebly! Ons is "opgradeer" na Meadow Cottage! Albeit cottages is pragtig, maar Meadow Cottage se ligging is beter omdat dit meer privaat is. Omgewing is wonderskoon!

Beautiful, quiet, safe and private.

Had such a nice stay! We were "upgraded" to Meadow Cottage! Both cottages are beautiful, but Meadow Cottage's location is better because it is more private. Environment is beautiful!

Rustig afgesonder op die plaas en in die natuur.

Lekker rustig in die natuur, maar nie te afgesonder nie. Dis lekker om 'n kombinasie van plaaslewe en natuur vroeg in die oggende te hoor. Ons het sommer gereeld voetgeslaan na die omliggende plase toe. Daar is ook heelwat om te doen in die omgewing binne 'n kort ryafstand.

Quietly secluded on the farm and in nature.

Nice and quiet in nature, but not too isolated. It's nice to hear a combination of farm life and nature early in the morning. We just regularly set foot to the surrounding farms. There is also plenty to do in the area within a short driving distance.

Wonderlike akkommodasie en direkte uitsig op dam, ons sal dit aanbeveel.

Eienaars moet dalk net aandag gee aan houtdeur wat verweer in die son, dalk net weer vernis, pla ons nie, maar dit kan tot groter skade lei in die toekoms.

Beste plek om weg te kom van lawaai, gejaag en mense. Uitstekende gasvrou in Nicola.

Sequoia se Meadow-huisie is ideaal geleë binne maklike bereik van alles besienswaardighede in die omgewing van Haenertsburg. Die husie is goed toegerus, die omgewing waarin dit geleë is, is baie privaat met 'n pragtige natuurtuin om in te stap en 'n mooi dam binne klipgooi afstand van die voorstoep. Die gasvrou is baie aangenaam en het ons kom verwelkom en baie tuis laat voel. Dit behoort op elke natuurliefhebber se "moet-lysie" te wees. Daar was 'n houertjie melk beskikbaar by ons aankoms en genoeg koffie en tee vir die vier dae wat ons daar deurgebring het.

Best place to get away from noise, rush and people. Excellent hostess in Nicola.

Sequoia's Meadow cottage is ideally located within easy reach of all attractions in the vicinity of Haenertsburg. The house is well equipped, the environment in which it is located is very private with a beautiful natural garden to walk in and a nice pond within a stone's throw from the front porch. The hostess is very pleasant and welcomed us and made us feel very much at home. It should be on every nature lover's "must do list". There was a container of milk available upon our arrival and enough coffee and tea for the four days we spent there.

The setting is beautiful and quiet but value for money is not there.

My wife and I stayed in the Croft cottage which was quaint, clean, tidy and inviting. Quiet was the order of the day and we enjoyed the walks in the garden. We used the fireplace one night and it worked surprising well. The bed mattress was unacceptably hard - we ended up putting the the spare duvet under us to improve the comfort which helped somewhat - it needs urgent replacement. There is no housekeeping at all which was disappointing considering the price charged per night and with wet weather, trying to dry towels and bath mats was a challenge. If the bed and housekeeping were up to standard I would have little hesitancy recommending the place but based on our stay I unfortunately cannot.

Thank you Stephen for your honest review, we have taken your points in consideration. We are very sorry that your didn’t fully enjoy your stay with us. We are a self-catering establishment and we do offer housekeeping on request by prior arrangement, with regards to the bed mattress we have not received a complaint about it before and plan to have it checked. We did ensure that you had additional and clean towels in your cottage for the duration of your stay, sorry that this was not sufficient enough. We truly hope you would visit us again in the future for a better experience.

Sequoia Garden Retreat is seker een van die mooiste plekke in ons land wat ons besoek het. Die natuur en plante raak jou siel op 'n vlak wat nie beskryf kan word nie.

We stayed at Sequoia in the Croft cottage for 3 nights. The unit has everything you need and is surrounded by peace and privacy. The gardens and views, especially at the dams, are just the best! We had a picnic at the dam which was picture perfect. If you can't choose between the 2 cottages, the Meadow cottage's view is a bit more fascinating. Will definitely be back!

Was op wittebrood vir 'n paar dae by Sequoia Garden Retreat.

Sequoia Garden Retreat is 'n pragtige plek. Die omgewing is te mooi om te beskryf. Die huis was so mooi en lekker om in te bly. Ons wou net heeltyd gaan stap en kyk hoe mooi is al die bome en plante. Nicola was baie aangenaam en vriendelik, was lekker om met haar te reël en gesels. Die omgewing en mooi woonplek maak Sequoia Garden Retreat meer as die moeite werd.

We got a lot more than expected. Photos do not do it justice. We fell in love with place the moment we got there. If you want to get away from the hustle of every day life, this is the place to be. Everything about Sequoia gardens is perfect, the setting, service, and everything that you require to be more than comfortable. Service is excellent!

Gesellige plekkie met die mooiste uitsig.

Ons is welkom laat voel en die eienaar het baie moeite gedoen om seker te maak ons is gemaklik. Die plekkie is baie gesellig. Dit was maar koud met ons kuier, so die kaggel was 'n staatmaker. Die tuin is pragtig en as dit nie vir die koue was nie, sou ons baie meer gaan verken het. Ons sal weer kom kuier in die lente.

Cosy place with the most beautiful view.

We were made to feel welcome and the owner went to a lot of trouble to ensure that we were comfortable. The place is very cosy. It was quite cold during our stay, so the fireplace was key. The garden is beautiful and if it wasn't for the cold, we would have explored a lot more. We will come again in the spring.

Charming cottage in a little piece of heaven.

Staying in Meadow cottage is like being in a postcard. I highly recommend Meadow cottage, it overlooks a small dam where my husband happily fly fished for the weekend. We went for stunning walks around the property and even though it was June, some of the azaleas were flowering. We will be back in spring to see the flowers bloom. I can only imagine how spectacular it will be then.

Die tuine en damme is baie mooi en daar is vele paaie om te stap.

Croft cottage is geskik vir iemand wat net wil oorslaap en ander doendinge het vir die dag. Dis reg langs 'n baie besige stowwerige grondpad. As dit stilte, rus en vrede is wat jy soek, sal Meadow Cottage perfek wees.

The gardens and ponds are very beautiful and there are many paths to walk.

Croft cottage is suitable for someone who just wants to sleep over and has other things to do for the day. It's right next to a very busy dusty dirt road. If it's peace and quiet you're looking for, Meadow Cottage will be perfect.

Romantiese ligging.

Die kamertjie waarin ons geslaap het was ongelooflik mooi, met groot vensters wat uitkyk oor 'n dam en herfskleurige bome. Ons het elke aand die kaggeltjie in die kamer aangesteek en die groot bad geniet.

Romantic location.

The little room we slept in was incredibly beautiful, with large windows overlooking a pond and autumn colored trees. Every night we lit the fireplace in the room and enjoyed the large bath.

Beautiful cottage in an even more beautiful area.

Sequioa Garden Retreat, is a wonderful place for families to get away from the hustle and bustle and to breathe in some fresh air. The cottage is ideally situated in breathtaking gardens with plenty of places to walk. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need, and we felt right at home. The host and hostess were most helpful in telling us about the surrounding areas and we could explore to our hearts content.

Peaceful family weekend away.

Sequoia Garden Retreat is a little slice of heaven and from the moment we arrived, we were able to relax. The little cottage is beautifully decorated and perfectly situated - the views over the dam were incredible especially in the early morning with the mist rising off the water. The gardens are stunning and the autumn colours were a feast for the eyes. The boys loved feeding the trout. Nicola and Devon were fantastic hosts and I appreciated them letting me tag along for a cycle. A perfect place to escape the rat race, slow down and forget about the rest of the world for a bit. Will definitely be back!

Relaxing, Beautiful Surrroundings

We had a lovely weekend at Sequioa, would recommend the Meadow cottage over the Croft cottage due to it being situated close to the road so traffic can be a bit noisy. Overall great experience - beautiful gardens, would love to go back!

Lekker naweek in die tuin.

Ons het die akkommodasie baie geniet, dit was 'n klein pragtige huisie en kan eerlik waar geen klagtes gee nie. Ek sou wel daarvan gehou het om te weet dat daar nie 'n oond is nie, het dit nie op die foto's besef nie. Huisie en linne was skoon en baie netjies. Daar is wel nogal baie spinnekoppe maar ons is in die bos so ons neem dit in ag. Die retreat is perfek geleë met baie om te doen binne 15 min se ry. Ons het die brewery baie geniet.

Great weekend in the garden.

We enjoyed the accommodation very much, it was a small beautiful cottage and can honestly say we have no complaints. I would have liked to know that there is no oven, it did not realise it from the photos. Cottage and linen were clean and very neat. There are quite a few spiders, but we are in the bush so we took it into account. The retreat is perfectly located with plenty to do within 15 mins drive. We really enjoyed the brewery.

Uiters teleurstellend en vals advertensie.

Die foto's en inligting op die webwerf meld ongelukkig nie dat die Croft Cottage (een van die drie kothuise wat jy kan bespreek) op die kruising tussen die hoofpad en Sequioa Garden Retreat se ingangspad is nie. Hoewel die eenheid uiters modern, silwerskoon, netjies en elegent versier is, is dit met uiterse teleurstelling dat ons hierheen gekom het. Die uitsig vanaf Croft Cottage is die stofpad, met die geraas van verkeer van die hoofpad agter jou. Daarmee saam kan jy verwag dat die motors se hoofligte deur die slaapkamervenster gaan skyn wanneer die geraas jou ook wakker maak. Nie te praat van die buurt se honde wat onophoudelik blaf deur die aand nie. Daar is geen uitsig hier van die pragtige tuine of die water wat uitgebeeld word op die foto's te vinde op die verskeie webtuistes nie en ons bespreking is 'n klassieke gevolg van valse advertensie. Indien jy een van die ander eenhede bespreek, sal jou ervaring uit die aard van die saak totaal anders wees, want daar is wel uitsig van water en mooi tuine. Soos gemeld, is die eenheid self uiters skoon en netjies en uitstekend toegerus. Daar is wel geen oond beskikbaar nie en die kombuis en slaapkamer is alles in een enkel oop vertrek, wat kombuisreuke minder aangenaam maak in die slaapkamer. Die enigste ernstige kritiek teen die eenheid self (buiten die swak ligging van hierdie spesifieke eenheid) is die ontsettend ongemaklike matras, wat 'n sementvloer gemaklik en aanloklik maak. Ons poging om uit die stad te vlug vir 'n wegbreek na die beloofde romantiese stilheid te midde die avontuur wat adverteer word, is ontmoet met uiterse teleurstelling. Ek sou aanbeveel jy bespreek nie die Croft Cottage wanneer jy hierheen wil kom nie. Indien jy een van die ander eenhede bespreek, sal jou ervaring baie positief wees.

Extremely disappointing and false advertisement.

Unfortunately, the photos and information on the website do not state that the Croft Cottage (one of the three cottages you can book) is at the intersection between the main road and Sequioa Garden Retreat's entrance road. Although the unit is extremely modern, spotless, neat and elegantly decorated, it is with extreme disappointment that we came here. The view from Croft Cottage is the dust road, with the noise of traffic from the main road behind you. Along with that, you can expect the cars' headlights to shine through the bedroom window when the noise also wakes you up. Not to mention the neighborhood dogs barking non-stop throughout the evening. There is no view here of the beautiful gardens or the water depicted in the photos found on the various websites and our booking is a classic result of false advertising. If you book one of the other units, your experience will be completely different by nature, because there is a view of water and beautiful gardens. As mentioned, the unit itself is extremely clean and tidy and excellently equipped. There is no oven available and the kitchen and bedroom are all in one single open room, which makes kitchen smells less pleasant in the bedroom. The only serious criticism of the unit itself (beyond the poor location of this particular unit) is the horrendously uncomfortable mattress, which makes a cement floor feel comfortable and inviting. Our attempt to flee the city for a getaway to the promised romantic quiet amid the adventure advertised was met with utter disappointment. I would recommend you don't book the Croft Cottage when you want to come here. If you book one of the other units, your experience will be very positive.

The Croft Cottage 's response

Beste Ulrike,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Dis 'n jammerte dat julle nie jul verblyf geniet het nie.

In ons opinie, is die voorstelling van die geriewe akkuraat. Ek vermoed dat jy na ons Meadow kothuis se foto's gekyk, wat geleë is by 'n dam met tuin- en water uitsigte. Die Croft het ook tuine rondom die kothuis met uitsigte van n skuur met grasperk en azaleas, wat duidelik in die foto's gesien kan word. In die beskrywing van die kothuis verduidelik ons dat die plek 'n oopplan leefvetrek het, wat ook gesien kan word in die foto's.

Ons adverteer nie 'n oond in die Croft kothuis nie, maar ander fasiliteite soos 'n mikrogolfoond en gasstoof is geadverteer. Die bed in die Croft kothuis is 'n splinternuwe ortopediese bamboes bed en van 'n goeie kwaliteit handelsmerk, Dynamic Bedding.

Ons is jammer dat ons buurt se honde julle gepla het, ons het hulle nie gehoor nie, maar as julle ons kon laat weet van die situasie, sou ons met ons bure gepraat het.

Ons verstaan ook dat die kothuis naby die hoofpad geleë is; ons is besig met die beplanning om 'n muur en hek vir die ingang en om die kothuis te bou om motors wat verby ry se geraas te verminder en vir gaste meer privaatheid te gee.

Ons sal julle graag weer wil akkommodeer in die toekoms.

Altyd 'n belewenis. Selfs in die winter. Hoogs aanbeveelbaar.

Sequoia Garden Retreat is altyd 'n natuur belewenis. Selfs in die winter. Hoogs aanbeveelbaar. Vriendelike ontvangs. Verblyf netjies en skoon. Duim omhoog vir die verandering vanaf The house that Jack build na Meadows. Rustigheid reis saam terug na die stad en kyk net die plaaslik vervaardigde rolprent Meerkat Maantuig.

Beautiful neat well equipped unit, unfortunately located next to a busy dirt road

Friendly reception, beautiful neat unit, well equipped. But the unit is located on the busy dirt road no fences or safe parking, the owners house is fenced with electric fences, we checked out earlier because we felt very unsafe. I would recommend not booking the Croft cottage. Rather the unit at the dam. Lovely setting for walking and photography.
