Quiet, clean, spacious with endless walks.

This is a place that you stay at if you like farm accommodation, space and quiet. The farm is big and you can walk a lot (we managed about 20km) over a few days. You have to bundu bash, but that's what makes it special. There is an old stone wall on the farm that goes on for miles and at one high point, over a gorge, you can gaze at Isandlwana in the far distance. Saw lots of kudus and many species of birds. The shower is rated in my top 5 list, simply awesome - it will change you. Great people!

Rustig en kalmerend. Siels kos.

The Sandstone Cottage is kos vir jou siel. Die rustigheid is perfek om te ontsnap van die stadsgejaag. Die plaasatmosfeer, groen omgewing, mistigheid as jy opstaan, Bella op die stoep, volstruise aan die ander kant van die draad en skape wat rustig wei, is absoluut wonderlik. Amanda is gasvry en behulpsaam.

Calm and calming. Soul food.

The Sandstone Cottage is food for your soul. The tranquility is perfect to escape from the city rush. The farm atmosphere, green surroundings, fog when you get up, Bella on the porch, ostriches on the other side of the wire and sheep grazing peacefully are absolutely wonderful. Amanda is hospitable and helpful.

Great spot for a quick getaway, very comfortable and peaceful.

The cottage was very neat, clean, and comfortable. The location is also good as it's away from busy roads etc. Amanda was also an excellent hostess and ensured that everything was in order.

Die plek is asemrowend mooi en ons het dit baie geniet!

Lekker 4x4 gedoen, plekkie is so mooi, ons is verwelkom deur die honde en die skaap wat baie spesiaal was. Hartsmense op die plaas het ons baie welkom laat voel! Alles was perfek!

Die mense was baie vriendelik en baie behulpsaam en die uitsig is ongelooflik en die huis is iets om te sien dis supermooi. Dit was heerlik.

Die plaas is pragtig baie mooi uitsig. Die huis was ongelooflik netjies en die mense ons met ope arms ontvang, ons voorsien van alles vir 'n braai, aangesien ons gedink het ons sal gaan uit eet, maar daar is nie sulke geriewe nie dis te ver om te ry.

The farm is beautiful very nice view. The house was incredibly neat and the people welcomed us with open arms, provided us with everything for a braai, as we thought we would go out to eat, but there are no such facilities, it's too far to drive.

Plaasgevoel, rustig en natuur is asemrowend en die eienaar is vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ons het dit baie geniet. Die rustigheid en diere wat so vriendelik is. Pragtige plaashuis en stoep en die binnekant van die huis is net so mooi. Was ongelukkig daar vir werk, maar sal definitief vir my familie die plek wil wys.

A great farmstay to chill and unwind.

Although we stopped over here for only one night on a business trip because we were working on another farm in the area, the Sandstone Cottage is more geared for holiday stays. The hosts are very welcoming and it has a great farm feel, complete with pet sheep and pig, cattle and farm dogs, together with owls in the trees in front of the farm house and a few game. If you enjoy hiking and exploring, there's a lovely kloof nearby (approx. 2 km walk) with a huge, deep pool, which would be great for summer swims. Beautiful aloes and bushveld vegetation, would be great to see the aloes in full bloom (in mid-winter), so it's a place for all seasons. Only recommendations are perhaps a comfy sofa (or 2) to relax on and perhaps lights fitted with a dimmer switch in the lounge area so that you can choose your light setting. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with amenable hosts, baie rustig!
