Heerlik!

Ons en ons honde het baie lekker gekuier by Troutwoods Cottage en die rustigheid en mooi omgewing baie geniet. Heerlike rooiwyn en kaggelvuur aande.

Delicious!

We and our dogs had a great time at Troutwoods Cottage and really enjoyed the tranquility and beautiful surroundings. Delicious red wine and fireplace evenings.

'n Lekker plaaswegbreek wat jy saam met jou diere kan geniet.

Zenia was super-behulpsaam met elke aspek van ons verblyf. Van inklok tot huistoe gaan was makik. Dit is 'n werkende plaas met forel-damme wat 'n rustige atmosfeer skep. Die verblyf is gemaklik en stylvol met alles wat jy nodig het. Die honde het nie geweet wat hulle getref het nie. Ons het die grondpad oor die berge aangevat om Dullstroom toe te gaan. Die uitsig was wonderlik. Ons sal definitief weer terug gaan.

A nice farm break that you can enjoy with your animals.

Zenia was super helpful with every aspect of our stay. From check-in to going home was makik. It is a working farm with trout ponds that create a peaceful atmosphere. The accommodation is comfortable and stylish with everything you need. The dogs didn't know what hit them. We took the dirt road over the mountains to go to Dullstroom. The view was wonderful. We will definitely go back again.

Heerlike woudkuier!

Ons het so lekker by Troutwoods Cottage gekuier. Zenia was 'n wonderlike gasvrou met inligting voor en tydens ons besoek. Mens moet ook definitief van haar kook/bakvernuf gebruik maak, dit was heerlik. Ek en my seun het die forelvisvang vreeslik geniet, dit was voorwaar 'n uitsonderlike ervaring wat ons gou weer sal wil doen. Alles wat mens nodig het is in die eenheid en alles is netjies en skoon. Dankie Zenia, ons hoop om gou weer te kom kuier!

Lovely forest walk!

We had such a great time at Troutwoods Cottage. Zenia was a wonderful hostess with information before and during our visit. You should also definitely make use of her cooking/baking skills, it was delicious. My son and I really enjoyed the trout fishing, it was truly an exceptional experience that we will want to do again soon. Everything you need is in the unit and everything is neat and clean. Thank you Zenia, we hope to visit again soon!

Perfect for traveling with your dogs!

We have working dogs and a lot of them! You can not get a better place to get away with your furry family! The Troutwoods Cottage is perfect! We did many tracks and detection sessions. We went walking, cycling and swimming! Absolute blast. Please make use of Zenia’s offers. She cooks wonderfully! If you need a side dish, a dessert or even a main meal, Zenia will do it! We will certainly return to this piece of paradise.

Heerlike wegbreekbestemming

Trouwoods Cottage is die ideale wegbreek-bestemming as jy wil wegkom van die besige lewe! Die huis is goed toegerus met 'n groot, veilige erf vir die honde! Ongelooflike natuurskoon en Zenia het ons baie welkom laat voel. En die kaggel en binnebraai in die reënweer was 'n wenner!

Great getaway destination

Trouwoods Cottage is the ideal getaway destination if you want to get away from busy life! The house is well equipped with a large, safe yard for the dogs! Amazing scenery and Zenia made us feel very welcome. And the fireplace and indoor barbecue in the rainy weather was a winner!

Fantastic.

Truly a wonderful family weekend away. Zenia has so much passion for the farm and the cottage is a reflection of her passion made my wife’s birthday special and a great relaxing atmosphere! This is a place where you can collect your thoughts and see God’s artistic hand. We will be returning!

Bitter lekker verblyf, weg van die stad met 'n paar great damme.

Hierdie was 'n wonderlike naweek. Daar was vars groete direk vanaf die plaas vir ons gegee saam met tuisgebakte beskuit en gemmerkoekies. Die damme is groot en bitter mooi! Ook 'n paar mooi visse gevang! Die huis waar ons gebly het is afgekamp en het wonderlik gewerk met die honde. Die staproetes rondom die huis was net so lekker. Hoogs aanbeveel. Baie lekker mense!

Very nice stay, away from the city with some great dams.

This was a wonderful weekend. There were fresh greetings given to us straight from the farm along with home-baked rusks and gingerbread cookies. The ponds are big and bitterly beautiful! Also caught some nice fish! The house we stayed in was camped out and worked great with the dogs. The hiking trails around the house were just as nice. Highly recommended. Very nice people!

'n Baie rustige, ontspanne naweek.

Pragtige akkommodasie en uitsigte. Ons klein kindertjies het die plaasdiere baie geniet, maar andersins was daar nie veel vir hulle om te doen. Ek beveel dit sterk aan vir n romantiese wegbreek naweek. Zenia het uit haar pad gegaan om in al ons behoeftes te voorsien en ons het die wegbreek baie geniet.

A very peaceful, relaxing weekend.

Beautiful accommodation and views. Our little kids really enjoyed the farm animals, but otherwise there wasn't much for them to do. I highly recommend it for a romantic getaway weekend. Zenia went out of her way to meet all our needs and we really enjoyed the break.

Uit die stad , baie stil en rustig. Wens ek kon permanent daar bly.

Baie skoon en netjies. Veilig. Ideaal vir iemand wat ontvlugting soek uit die stad uit en verlang na die plaaslewe.
