Comfortable cottage, slept nice and warm, and the fireplace inside was a winner. The cottage is comfortably furnished. We were able to braai some delicious meat, and lit the fireplace inside to ward off the cold.

Gerieflike huisie, het lekker warm geslaap, en die kaggel binne was 'n wenner. Die huisie is gerieflik ingerig. Ons kon lekker vleis braai, en het die kaggel binne aangesteek om die koue te verdryf.

A complete break from civilization but with all the modern comforts. The herb cottage is literally one of my most favoured places to stay, pure peace in the most incredible location: the forest and mountains.

Comfortable, nice, everything you need. We had a great stay at the Herb Cottage. The house is well laid out with everything you need. The beds are comfortable. I was surprised with the nice walking trails, good area for bird watching. The large garden was also ideal for our children to run around and play. To get to the accommodation, you just have to be prepared to drive a steep dirt road. Would not recommend driving it in a small car, preferably an SUV or bakkie.

Gemaklik, lekker, als wat jy nodig het. Ons het lekker gebly by die Herb Cottage. Die huis is goed uitgelee met als wat jy nodig het. Die beddens is gemaklik. Ek was verbaas met die lekker staproetes, goeie area om voëls te kyk. Die groot tuin was ook ideaal vir ons kinders om rond te hardloop en lekker te speel. Om by die verblyf uit te kom, moet mens net voorbereid wees om 'n steil grondpad te ry. Sal nie aanbeveel jy ry dit in 'n klein kar nie, verkieslik 'n SUV of bakkie.

, a little paradise among the mountains. A little piece of paradise between the mountains. Here we could soak up the tranquility and experience the beautiful scenery. The hiking trails were a highlight with the sunbirds and small monkeys as spectators. The unit is tastefully equipped and the small swimming pool was first rate. Would go back any day. Thank you very much.

, n klein paradys tussen die berge. 'n Klein stukkie paradys tussen die berge. Hier kon ons die rustigheid indrink en die mooi natuurskoon ervaar. Die staproetes was 'n hoogtepunt met die sonbesies en klein apies as toeskouers. Die eenheid is smaaklik toegerus en die klein swembad was eerste prys. Sal enige dag weer teruggaan. Baie dankie.

Lovely stay in a well equipped and comfortable cottage. Very well equipped and comfortable cottage, in a beautiful location. A quick hike to the river is a must. I felt a little bit sorry for the tyres of my SUV on the way in and out, but the comfortable stay and calm surroundings more than made up for it.

Very nice stay. Felt like home from the moment you walked in. Everything was very comfortable and a special place tucked away in the mountains. Very private and everything you need is there.

Baie lekker gebly. Tuis gevoel vanaf die intrapslag. Alles baie gerieflik en 'n besondere plekkie weg gesteek in die berge. Baie privaat en alles wat jy nodig het, is daar.

Rest for your soul in breathtaking surroundings! Stay was wonderful! Lovely surroundings, neat and spacious accommodation, quiet and peaceful with a little river and birds the only sounds. Pleasant and helpful host!

Rus vir jou siel in asemrowende omgewing! Verblyf was heerlik! Lieflike omgewing, netjiese en ruim verblyf, stil en rustig met 'n riviertjie en voëls die enigste geluide. Aangename en hulpvaardige gasheer!

A truly heavenly experience. The Herb Cottage is a truly exceptional piece of paradise. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and the service from our host was beyond accommodating. I would, without hesitation, recommend the Herb Cottage to anyone looking for accommodation in the Magoebaskloof area.

Serene break in breathtaking mountain environment. The Herb Cottage allowed us to rest and recharge. It was clean and comfortable, with huge windows and sliding doors, full of natural light. Watching the Samango monkeys in the trees from the deck was a treat - they did not attempt to come into the house, and the sound of the flowing river was pure bliss.
