So glad I found The Cottage. Perfect accommodation, neat, clean and spacious and dog friendly as well.

We enjoyed our overnight stay at The Cottage. It's safe with secure parking and a beautiful garden for our dogs. A friendly and helpful hostess. Highly recommended.

The unit had everything we needed, plus a lot of extra's. The short, untarred, suburban road is a little tricky to navigate due to all of the rains.

My only criticism is that on the day of our arrival it was pouring with rain. A covered walkway over the stairs down to the cottage would be great. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. The hostess was very friendly.

A good overnight stop venue.

Elske and Hans were welcoming and helpfulness itself, even to the extent of supplying braai wood, charcoal and firelighters. Their four happy dogs are equally welcoming, so it's a real homely feel! The unit is well-equipped for self-catering. The lower unit (which we occupied) is approached by a flight of stairs which can be a little challenging when lugging suitcases etc. The garden is beautiful and peaceful, but a clean table on the stoep when braaiing would have been appreciated.

The Cottage is in 'n rustige area waar ek heerlik kon ontspan na 'n lang rit. Dis 'n gerieflike wooneenheid en die gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om my en my kat te huisves.

Ek het by The Cottage oorgeslaap op pad PE toe van die KZN Midlands af.

Very comfortable, clean, well-appointed cottage. Friendly Hosts, friendly dogs.

We were met by the owner, Elske Britz, who was kind and very helpful, and we introduced our dogs to each other; they got on well. She showed us the cottage, and said if there was anything we needed, we had only to ask, then left us to our privacy. The Cottage was very well equipped, the shower worked well, and the bed was cosy. We had the use of a lovely braai area on the deck, which we didn't use, as it was rather cold out at night. All in all, a lovely choice of self-catering places to stay in Maclear.

Verblyf kan in sommige areas verbeter.

Met ons aankoms, moet ons 'n rukkie lank die telefoon lui, voordat die gasvrou geantwoord het. Sy het "verskoning" gemaak dat die plek nie heeltemal reg is nie en die matras nie op standaard was nie en sy het wel aangebied om 'n beter matras te voorsien. Ons kon nie slaap nie weens muskiete - geen gaas voor die vensters of deure. Dit was warm en bedompig in die woonstel, maar ons kon nie die vensters oopmaak nie weens muskiete. Daar was wel muskietspuitgoed voorsien, maar my kleinkind kan dit nie gebruik nie. Daar was wel 'n staanwaaier in die een slaapkamer voorsien, maar aangesien dit 'n groot "geraas" maak, kon ons dit ook nie gebruik nie. Die klein bedjie se beddegoed was nie skoon nie, die kussings is plat en daar was geen laken op die bed nie. Met ons aankoms het die gasheer se groterige hond in die verblyf ingehardloop en op my kleinkind van 2 jaar gespring en haar in die gesig gekrap. Die parkeerarea is baie steil en nie geskik vir motors wat laag is nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Accommodation could improve in some areas.

Upon our arrival, we have to ring the phone for a while, before the hostess answered. She "apologized" that the place was not quite right and the mattress was not up to standard and she did offer to provide a better mattress. We couldn't sleep because of mosquitoes - no mesh in front of the windows or doors. It was hot and stuffy in the apartment, but we couldn't open the windows because of mosquitoes. There was mosquito spray provided, but my grandchild cannot use it. There was a standing fan provided in one bedroom, but since it makes a lot of "noise", we couldn't use it either. The small bed's bedding was not clean, the pillows were flat and there was no sheet on the bed. Upon our arrival, the host's large dog ran into the accommodation and jumped on my 2 year old grandchild and scratched her in the face. The parking area is very steep and not suitable for cars that are low.

The Cottage 's response

Ek is regtig jammer om te hoor dat die woonstel 'n groot teleurstelling was. In die toekoms, sal ek die gaste beslis daarop wys dat hulle welkom is om enige tyd na die tweede woonstel te verskuif as die eerste een nie aan hul vereistes volddoen nie.

Weereens baie jammer.

Modern, vriendelike en behulpsame gasheer, volledige kombuisgeriewe en heerlike stort, pragtige ligging.

Ons was uiters verras met die pragtige woonstel en uitkyk, Elske, die gasheer, was behulpsaam en vriendelik en het selfs vir ons beskuit gebring. Ons is spyt ons het net oornag en kon nie langer bly nie, want dit is 'n baie gemaklike woonstel met 'n pragtige uitkyk vanaf die balkon. Dit was middelwinter maar ons was snoesig met ekstra komberse en 'n heerlike warm stort om die koue uit te dryf. Ek beveel The Cottage aan vir enigiemand wat Maclear wil besoek.

We were extremely surprised with the beautiful apartment and view, Elske, the host, was helpful and friendly and even brought us biscuits. We regret we only stayed overnight and couldn't stay longer, because it is a very comfortable apartment with a beautiful view from the balcony. It was the middle of winter but we were snuggled up with extra blankets and a lovely hot shower to chase away the cold. I recommend The Cottage to anyone wanting to visit Maclear.

Baie goeie waarde vir geld.

Baie skoon en netjies, veral die badkamer. Hout by vuurmaakplek, melk in yskas en beskuit vir oggendkoffie was 'n aangename verrassing. Sal definitief weer daar oorslaap.

Comfortable accommodation.

Accommodation was very neat and I a beautiful setting. Host is friendly and helpful. Would book again. Only drawback is that the wooden floors in the top unit creak too loudly. Also gap on the bottom of the front door needs to be fixed and bugs and insects kept coming in. Otherwise beautiful.

Ons is baie hartlik ontvang. Die pragtige labradors het ons golden retriever welkom laat voel. Die verblyf was gerieflik en skoon. Ons sal in die toekoms 'n nag of wat langer wil bly om die rustige omgewing te verken.

Heerlik, rustig en gemaklik. Alles is daar en netjies.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, en sal definitief weer by The Cottage gaan bly as ons in die omgewing is. Ons kon niks foutvind nie. Die enigste problem was ons GPS wat gesukkel het om ons by The Cottage uit te kry (beide Garmin en Google Maps). Die GPS koördinate saam met die besonderhede van The Cottage, vir toekomstige besoekers sal die hele ondervinding nog soveel meer aangenaam maak.

We had a great stay, and will definitely stay at The Cottage again if we are in the area. We couldn't find anything wrong. The only problem was our GPS which struggled to get us to The Cottage (both Garmin and Google Maps). The GPS coordinates along with the details of The Cottage, for future visitors will make the whole experience that much more enjoyable.

Ons het slegs oorgeslaap op pad Mooirivier toe, maar Elske het geen moeite ontsien en ons het alles gehad wat nodig is en nog meer. Dit was skoon en netjies en heerlik rustig met uitsig vanaf balkon oor boomryke tuin en braaiplek op balkon.

'n Lafenis na 'n lang en vermoeiende rit.

Die plek is nuut oorgedoen en dit is baie goed gedoen. Alles wat nodig is vir 'n oorslaap was daar, selfs 'n verwarmer en lekker kombers om onder te sit voor die TV! Al wat ek bykomend sou wou sien, is afsonderlike skakelaars vir die twee bedlampies.
