Gemaklik, skoon en netjies, goed toegerus.

Die Garden Cottage is baie skoon en netjies. 'n Goeie oorbly vir besigheidsreisigers of oorbly na 'n laataand in die omgewing van die Garden Cottage. Melanie het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en was baie hulpvaardig. 'n Groot pluspunt is die feit dat dit 'n sonkrag aangedrewe eenheid is.

Comfortable, clean and tidy, well equipped.

The Garden Cottage is very clean and tidy. A good stopover for business travelers or a stopover after a late night in the vicinity of the Garden Cottage. Melanie received us very kindly and was very helpful. A big plus is the fact that it is a solar powered unit.

Sal graag weer hier oorbly. Alles perfek!

Rustige stil omgewing. Naby hoofweg. Voel veilig. Baie gerieflik, veral omdat beurtkrag geen rol speel nie - solar & gas.

Perfect and pet friendly.

The cottage is well-appointed, spotless and private. I was well-received by the owners who explained the television, alarm, and the like. I travel with two mini-dachshunds and they were also well-pleased. We enjoyed our stay and will certainly recommend and return.

Ontvang deur 'n nors huishulp wat nie die moeite gedoen het om ons te wys waar om te gaan nie.

Positiewe: Zias, die Great Dane! Dis skoon en netjies met alle geriewe. Voorsiening vir loadshedding en Wifi. Die eienares het kort na ons vertrek laat weet ek het my trouring laat agtergebly. 10/10 daarvoor, duisend dankies. Negatief: Dit was yskoud en 'n gasverwarmer sou baie help. Temp het gewissel tusen 3 en 13 grade, dus kon die sonpaneelgeiser slegs warm water vir een keer se stort uit 'n moontlike 4 kanse voorsien. Andersins, geen klagtes sover as ligging, stilte en veiligheid aangaan nie. Bygesê, die eienaars is ook nou wraggies nie te blameer vir die koue weer nie! Ek sal weer vir Zias gaan kuier!

Received by a grumpy maid who didn't bother to show us where to go.

Positives: Zias, the Great Dane! It's clean and tidy with all amenities. Provision for loadshedding and Wifi. Shortly after we left, the owner informed me that I had left my wedding ring behind. 10/10 for that, thanks a thousand. Negative: It was freezing cold and a gas heater would help a lot. Temp varied between 3 and 13 degrees, so the solar panel geyser could only provide hot water for one shower out of a possible 4 chances. Otherwise, no complaints as far as location, quietness and safety are concerned. Added to that, the owners are not to blame for the cold weather either! I will visit Zias again!

I enjoyed privacy since the owner only communicated via WhatsApp. No need to go to a restaurant or sit in a guesthouse, self-catering was a bonus. Very clean!

Netjies, veilig en waarde vir geld.

Plekkie was netjies, modern en veilig. Beslis waarde vir geld. Ek sou voorstel dat daar 'n dakwaaier of lugreëling ingesit word of dalk net 'n gewone waaier in die kamer beskikbaar gestel word. Maar andersins, baie lekker geslaap en gebly.

Thank you The Garden Cottage for your topnotch hospitality.

Once again thanks Malanei and Graham for your warmest welcoming and care. The place is more than a five star hotel, with the highest taste of furniture in the rooms, it's very clean with Wi-Fi and no loadshedding as they have a powerful backup power during the day and at night 100%.
