The Cottage

Clean, spacious and very well equipped.

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.

Had a comfortable, relaxed stopover to extend a holiday drive.

We had a very pleasant overnight stop while travelling between CPT and KZN. Hosts were very helpful and we would love to come back in future for a longer visit.

Aangenaam.

Ruim en waarde vir geld.

Good facility in a lovely garden.

Very comfortable facility with most amenities one needs for a stay. Parking is a bit tricky, particularly if you are towing. Elske was a very helpful host.

Waarde vir geld.

Dit is verskriklik ruim.

Clean with all necessary amenities.

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.

The Cottage has everything needed for an overnight stay or longer.

Elske was a very helpful hostess but still allowed privacy. The Cottage is beautifully fitted and the main bed very comfortable.

Heerlike plaasatmosfeer!

Lieflike gastehuis en eienaars. Dankie!

Goed.

Alles was skoon en netjies.

Warm welcome. Every detail was taken care of.

Everything we needed was supplied. Beautiful gardens. Warm, comfortable sleep.

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.

Stayover on our way home.

See stars.

Goed toegerus, gerieflike en mooi blyplek. Wonderlike en gasvrye eienaars.

Een nag oorgebly. Was baie goed toegerus met lekker buitebraai. Ons was onmiddellik gemaklik. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Sal enige tyd aanbeveel.

Comfortable, very pleasant.

This was a neat, well appointed cottage and the host, Elske, was friendly and helpful.

Lovely stay with very friendly hosts. Spacious and welcoming unit. Delicious rusks were provided.

Good size unit for a family to spend time in. Children could play in the garden.

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.

Die plekkie was pragtig en gemaklik.

Pragtige dorpie met baie vriendelike mense. Toestand van die grondpad laat veel te wense na die reën in die omgewing. Meer aanwysingsbordjies sal help om The Cottage makliker te kry.

Lovely setting overlooking the garden.

Lovely, tranquil setting overlooking the garden. Clean and comfortable. Super hostess.

Slept well here.

Pretty self-catering cottage in a lovely garden. Full DStv, helpful hosts supplied a fan and bottled water at my request and directed me onwards on lovely roads. Safe location and parking. Thankful.

Very comfortable and well appointed.

We had a very relaxed and comfortable stay in the spacious accommodation. Very well appointed and welcoming owner and dogs.

Comfortable apartment in Maclear.

Comfortable self-catering apartment. Friendly and helpful hostess and host.

Comfortable and neat.

Neat and friendly reception, beautiful area.

Netjies en goeie waarde vir geld.

The Cottage is baie netjiese akkommodasie met alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Ons kamer het oor 'n tuin uitgekyk, met 'n dek en braai feitlik in die takke van 'n boom. Ons gasvrou was baie behulpsaam met advies oor waar in die dorp om te eet. Ons beveel The Cottage aan vir enige reisiger na Maclear!

Comfortable.

The Cottage is very well appointed and neat. Lovely covered braai with braai wood. Owner very helpful. Would recommend The Cottage to anyone wanting to stay in Maclear.

Friendly service, very large garden, peaceful atmosphere.

Accommodation at The Cottage was value for money.

Lovely hostess and a beautiful view of the garden.

We were very comfortable, though it was a bit chilly, but that has been rectified. A really nice stopover.

Very nice experience.

Comfortable and clean. Recommended.

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.

Neat and well equipped.

Friendly hostess and had a lovely overnight.

Lieflike verblyf.

Ons het heerlik oornag by The Cottage. Ons was vriendelik ontvang en die woonstelletjies was pragtig, netjies en baie gerieflik gemeubileer. Kan dit ten sterkste aanbeveel!

Convenient stopover.

For self-catering accommodation it was fine.

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.

Peaceful atmosphere at The Cottage.

Lovely accommodation. Elske gave us a warm welcome and made us feel at home. The place is neat and clean and well-equipped. Will definitely stay there again.

A good place for a stayover in Maclear.

A peaceful cottage on the quiet side of Maclear where you can unwind and rest. Would stay here again when passing through.

Beautiful.

It was a pleasure staying here. Neat and clean. Nice and spacious with a lovely shower. Kind and friendly hostess.

Ruim verblyf met genoegsame geriewe.

Privaat met genoeg geriewe. Was net te koud ten tye van verblyf (oornag) om te braai.

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.

Super cute little place!

Cozy and comfortable.

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.

Baie netjies, skoon en vriendelik.

Plek is baie netjies skoon en mense is baie vriendelik. Baie goeie diens gekry daar.

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.

Great host at a lovely little spot.

Well worth the visit to this beautiful town, The Cottage is a well run and maintained spot with a great big garden.

Excellent hospitality, very clean and comfortable accommodation.

We were pleasantly surprised by the high standard of the rooms, all one could ask for in a self-catering unit!

Skoon, veilig en ten volle toegerus.

Ons het slegs oorgeslaap na 'n troue maar die plekkie was ten volle toegerus met n kombuisie en DStv. Baie oulik en baie vriendelike diens.

Would stay there again if in the area!

We were delighted with the warm welcome. All the facilities were good with lots of space!

It was comfortable and warm.

Our reception was friendly. The cottage was tidy and clean and we were very happy with the stop over. We can definitely recommend The Cottage.

Ons het baie welkom gevoel en heerlik gebly!

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.

We only stayed overnight.

Apart from the fact that the sound-proofing is not so great (we had been warned) the stay was very pleasant.

Great plekkie met alle benodigdhede en vriendelike mense.

Baie oulike plek vir oornag en om die dorpie te beleef.

Pleasant stay. Everything one needs.

Enjoyed our stay. Braai facilities very nice to uses especially because we knew about it beforehand.

Fantastic.

Will definitely be back - thank you Elska!

Very pleasant experience.

Clean, well equipped, pleasant, warm and safe accommodation we would recommend. The braai facility on the deck with wood, fire lighters and matches impressed us.

Just one night, but we got some great sleep!

Clean an neat with all the facilities we needed. The host lady was so friendly. I recommend Alpine Bistro for a delicious breakfast.

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.

Aangenaam, rustig, beantwoord basiese behoeftes.

Het aan alle verwagtinge voldoen met verwysing na internetbeskrywing, prys en vir 'n kort verblyf. Gasvrou baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Spacious, neat and well-equipped.

The unit was clean, neat, fully-equipped with everything we needed. The owners were friendly and helpful. The Labradors were just as friendly!

Very quiet! Nice!

Elske, the host, was so kind and thoughtful, and so friendly she waited for us when we wanted to pay! The delicious rusks in the kitchen was such a treat with the coffee. I defnitely recommend The Cottage!

Ideal stopover on the way back to KZN.

Comfortable cottage with lovely deck and braai facilities and wood included. Friendly host.

Overnight, very well equipped, very friendly and helpful.

We only stayed overnight on the way to Mooirivier, but Elske went to a lot of trouble to ensure we had everything we needed and more. It was clean and neat and lovely and peaceful with a view from the balcony over the garden full of trees, and there are braai facilities on the balcony.

Wonderlike, netjiese verblyf.

Elske het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en baie moeite gedoen vir ons. Die verblyf is skoon en modern met lieflike veranda wat uitkyk op tuin en pragtige braai. Absoluut alles wat nodig is, word hier voorsien. Beveel beslis aan.

Comfortable and neat house and friendly reception.

Everything you might need with a comfy braai area on the patio. Clearer directions (no street names) would be helpful!

Immaculate, spacious and stylish.

Arrived exhausted from an over-long trip to a warm welcome, hot shower and comfy bed. Beautifully crafted kitchen and bathroom. Enjoyed the tin of rusks with our morning coffee. Sitting room led onto private veranda and piece (peace) of the garden. Lovely.

'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.

Maclear could not top the Cottage!

It is spacious, comfortable and luxurious with every available facility. The owners are terrific people. We loved the stay and would definitely stay there on a return visit.

Skoon, netjies, ruim en baie vriendelike ontvangs.

The Cottage is baie ruim, skoon, netjies en goed toegerus. Baie aangename plek om te bly.
