Cosy cottage with access to nature reserve.

4.81 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviews1 month ago

I booked Lauriane's place for family attending a wedding nearby. The cottage was beautiful. Perfect if you love peace and quiet and especially if you're a horse lover. Access to the nature reserve was also very easy. The accomodation is exactly as described in the listing. Thank you for a great stay. Mum especially enjoyed her morning coffee while watching the horses go by.

Franschhoek Farm Stay

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 65 reviews1 month ago

Booked for my in-laws to stay during our wedding. The farm cottages were lovely and our family enjoyed staying there. The host was communicative and accommodating, which really helped the experience. The only irritation is the gate, which is a little annoying to open if members of the group get ubers/food orders as you have to have someone leave the property in order to open it. Would definitely recommend.

Thatched Farm house - BCCottages

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviews13 months ago

The Thatched Cottage at Beverley Country Cottages exceeded our expectations. The view was even better than the pictures, and the cottage was comfortable and well appointed. Kate and Ruth and team were friendly hosts, and very responsive in addressing any issues with the house. We liked the peace and quiet of the farm, but appreciated that it was close enough to Howick and the rest of the Midlands. Our kids also had great fun with Kate's dogs, who adopted us while we were there. Would definitely recommend!

Charming mountain cottage on a working farm.

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviews9 months ago

Spent a few days at Olive House in July and had such a special time with my dad. The cottage has an awesome binne braai (huge inside fireplace that you can cook on) that keeps the lounge cozy. The beds have heated blankets and there's a gas heater too. We went on walks and just relaxed enjoying the beautiful landscape. It's really isolated and allowed us to switch off which was just what we needed. I would recommend downloading an offline Google map before you exit R62. Carine sends thorough written instructions though if you lose signal.

The Hamlet | Country Retreat | Rose Cottage

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviews3 months ago

Carolyn is a very warm, friendly, hospitable and generous host. She welcomed us personally and ensured that everything about our stay was perfect. Her wonderful Farm Manager, Promise, checked in discreetly to see if there was anything we needed during our stay. We stayed in Palm Cottage which is super luxurious! The attention to detail is exquisite - we could not believe that you could get this kind of accommodation on a farm. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cater in the cottage. The furniture, linen and towels are of exceptional quality. The bed was enormous and so comfortable. Huge shower, Victorian free-standing bath and double vanity. The pool was lovely, in front of the covered terrace, looking out to the fields and orchards. The farm animals are as friendly as their host. Extremely peaceful and beautiful surroundings. No road noise or noisy neighbours at all. If you’re looking for total rest, this is the place to go.

This place is stunning! The house and garden have an amazing view of a peaceful valley surrounded by mountains. The wood and terracotta tiles give the house so much character. And the farm is adorable, with animals roaming around. Clarens is a lovely town too... This place it's a gem.

De Rust Farm Cottage: Fairview Est.

4.76 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviews8 months ago

De Rust cottage and surrounding mountains exceeded our expectations! We had an unforgettable weekend with special friends in the cosy house…with more than enough beds with supersoft bedding… and unimaginable views. We will definitely be back. Thank you Corlia for being a lovely host. The house had everything we needed and more…and the seating outside was soothing to the soul. We loved watching the horses, played cricket and explored the farm on foot. Excellent mountain sanctuary to recharge, reset and realign.
