Amazing. Excellent. Peaceful. Relaxing. We had an amazing stay at the Dolittle Cottages. Love that the house has everything from pans, pots, cutlery, hairdryer, extra blanket, etc. Overall we really enjoyed it. The animals made our stay extra special with their welcoming energy, greeting us and always ready for some carrots. We hope to be back in the future.

Wholesome family accommodation. We had the best stay! The host made sure we were comfortable and everything was in perfect shape. The location is central and the animals at your front door were the cherry on the cake for our 2-year-old.

Excellent accommodation and value for money. Dolittle Guesthouse delivers an excellent accommodation experience with exceptionally friendly managers who go above and beyond to accommodate guests, including setting up a baby cot. The evening was enjoyable, and the overall experience was extremely positive.

Uitstekende verblyf en waarde vir geld. Dolittle Gastehuis lewer 'n uitstekende verblyfervaring met uitsonderlik vriendelike bestuurders wat ver bo die verwagte gaan om gaste te akkommodeer, insluitend die opstel van 'n baba-kot. Die aand was genotvol, en die algehele ervaring was besonder positief.

Nice one. Perfect place to stay with all the amenities and a nice small town feel. Full kitchen with "all the gadgets". Next time we will use those braai facilities.

Lekker l. Perfekte oornagplek met al die geriewe en lekker kleindorpie gevoel. Vol kombuis met "all the gadgets". Volgende keer gaan ons daai braai geriewe benut.

Lovely peaceful stay. Very nice stay with all the necessary amenities and beautiful views. The farm animals were a big bonus.

Heerlike rustige verblyf. Baie lekker gebly met al die nodige geriewe en pragtige uitsig. Die plaasdiere was 'n groot bonus.

Everything you need in beautiful surroundings. Clean. Well equipped. Very accessible location. Quiet and private with beautiful surroundings. The donkeys, sheep and chickens are a wonderful extra. Second time I've stayed here and I'll be back.

Alles wat jy benodig in prag omgewing. Netjies. Goed toegerus. Baie toeganklik geleë. Stil en privaat met pragtige omgewing. Die donkies, skape en hoenders is wonderlike ekstra. Tweede keer wat ek hier gebly het en ek sal weer kom.

Great getaway! We had a wonderful stay. Although Doolittle is close to the main road (N2), it was quiet at night! Doolittle is well equipped, you won't lack for anything. And the donkeys, sheep and chickens were super cute!

Heerlik wegbreek! Ons het heerlik gebly. Alhoewel Doolittle naby die hoofpad (N2) is, was dit saans stil! Doolittle is goed toegerus, mens kom niks kort nie. En die donkies, skape en hoenders was super oulik!

Relaxed, ample space, warm welcome, complimentary pecan nuts, family friendly. Warm welcome. Pecan nuts were a wonderful welcome gift. Spacious kitchen. Cutlery and crockery well stocked. Lovely cottage. Our child loved swimming in the pool. Enjoyed feeding the donkeys. We would suggest a few things to look into; taking into account that the cottages are on a farm with livestock; preventative treatment or spray in/outside the cottage against flies. A fragranced softener for the towels. I had to use my data when browsing on the net. WiFi insufficient/slow. Bathroom window could not lock.

Thank you for your suggestions, Eleanor. I am sorry you had slow internet; we have since fixed the issue you were experiencing. Unfortunately, at certain times of the year, the flies do increase in number, but we try our best to combat this by treating our property and cottages regularly, as well as providing our guests with a spray and oil burner to use during their stay. We love to have feedback so we can grow, and I hope you return so we can show you how we have improved to offer a better stay each time.

Very comfortable, well stocked, and the kids enjoyed it. Kids enjoyed the grass outside and feeding the donkeys and sheep. Cottages were warm and very well stocked. We specifically liked that there was ample firewood. The location is also close enough to town that you can easily drive to do some shopping.
