Baie oulike en gemaklike kothuis, met 'n probleem-kaggel.

Die kothuis is gerieflik ingerig, en daar is heerlike bederfies soos vars melk en lekker beskuit. Die eienaars maak moeite om die besoek aangenaam te maak. 'n Groot probleem was die sg. 'wood burner' wat eenvoudig met ure en ure se pogings en oproepe tussen my en die eienaar (hulle was weg vir die naweek) net aanhou rook het. Dit was baie koud, en ek moes later die deur en al die vensters oopmaak om die rook te probeer uitkry. Dit het die besoek vir my ongelukkig baie bederf - my bors was toegetrek en dit het binne sterk na stroois geruik.

Very cute and comfortable cottage, with a problem fireplace.

The cottage is comfortably furnished, and there are delicious treats such as fresh milk and tasty biscuits. The owners make an effort to make the visit pleasant. A big problem was the so-called 'wood burner' which simply kept smoking with hours and hours of attempts and calls between me and the owner (they were away for the weekend). It was very cold, and later I had to open the door and all the windows to try to get the smoke out. This unfortunately spoiled the visit for me - my chest was tight and it smelled strongly of straw inside.

A fantastic breakaway from the city.

Great value for money, Ryan was very helpful. It was easy to find and once the car was offloaded relax mode just kicked in. I will book again. Thank you again for a great experience.

Dit is pragtig, billik, sentraal geleë.

Saterdagoggend markie is fantasties. Spar het alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Uitsig is pragtig.

Ek en my vrou sal enige tyd terug kom.

Dankie Carla en Ryan. Dis 'n fantastiese plek. Ons sal weer kom. Dankie vir jul vriendelikheid. Ons het dit baie geniet, lekker naby aan Langebaan vir 'n outing ook, net 25 min se ry van cottage af.

Stukkie hemel waar ons kans gekry het om uit te rus.

Ons sal enige tyd vriende na die Blacksmith's Cottage in Hopefield verwys. Dis idillies, dis stil en gee fantastiese geleentheid om te rus na enige besigheidseisoen. Binne 15 tot 20 minute se ry kom jy by die ongelooflikste stilhou-plekkies soos Dwarskersbos, Jackobsbaai, Riebeek Kasteel en Langebaan. As jy voel jou battery moet gelaai word is dit die plek om te wees. Daar is so baie moeite gedoen en aandag aan goed soos koffie, suiker en melk in die yskas was uitstekend. Sal beslis soontoe terugkeer.

Piece of heaven where we got a chance to rest.

We will refer friends to the Blacksmith's Cottage in Hopefield anytime. It's idyllic, it's quiet and gives a fantastic opportunity to rest after any business season. Within 15 to 20 minutes' drive you will come to the most incredible stopping places such as Dwarskersbos, Jackobsbaai, Riebeek Kasteel and Langebaan. If you feel your battery needs charging this is the place to be. There was so much effort and attention to things like coffee, sugar and milk in the fridge was excellent. Will definitely return there.
