Soul food, tranquility, breathtaking nature, clean. We just wanted to rest for a few days. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life. What a beautiful farm! The 3 days there were soul food for my husband and me. The tame farm animals are very special. The host and hostess made us feel very welcome. Thank you very much. We will definitely go again.

Sielskos, rustigheid, asemrowende natuur, skoon. Ons wou net 'n paar dae gaan rus. Weg van die gejaag van die stadslewe. Wat 'n pragtige plaas! Die 3 dae daar was sielskos vir my en my man. Die mak plaasdiere is baie besonders. Die gasheer en gasvrou het ons baie welkom laat voel. Baie dankie. Ons sal beslis weer gaan.

Very peaceful and a lovely getaway. Beautiful and peaceful. Cottage was well equipped. A TV was advertised but not in the cottage?

Just to get away, not too far from the city, and have a nice rest and do nothing. We were looking for a place where we could rest, away from cell phones and not too far from the city, a place where we just wanted to rest without feeling like we had to do anything. We cycled through the area a few times and the hills outside Stanford offer such a place - close and yet away from everything. Watsonia is the most beautiful house, clean, neatly furnished, nice kitchen and table that is nice to hang out. They received us kindly and you could clearly see their personal touch. We read a lot of books, cooked food, and had a good rest. We will go again, it is a very beautiful place.

Net om weg te kom, nie te ver uit die stad, en lekker te rus en niks te doen. Ons het 'n plek gesoek waar ons kon rus, weg van selfone en nie te ver van die stad nie, 'n plek waar ons net wou rus sonder om te voel ons moet iets gaan doen. Ons het 'n paar keer deur die area fiets gery en die heuvels buite Stanford bied so 'n plek - naby en tog weg van alles. Watsonia is die mooiste huis, skoon, netjies gemubeuleerd, lekker kombuis en tafel wat lekker kuier. Die het ons vriendelik ontvang en hul persoonlike hand kon jy duidelik sien. Ons het baie boeke gelees, kos gemaak, en lekker uitgerus. Ons sal weer gaan, dit is 'n baie mooi plek.

Wonderful. A perfect house where we enjoyed some good quality time with our young family. Located in the countryside but not too far from the beaches and the lovely town of Stanford. Hosts are very friendly and even helped with car problems. The house was very spacious and clean!

Lovely quiet. Watsonia cottage is a little way out of Stanford on a dirt road. Nice, quiet environment. The decor is lovely and the kitchen is well equipped. We spent every golden hour on the veranda and watched the sun set over the mountains and cheered the day with a glass of wine from the area (there are great cellars in the Overberg). The cottage is on the road, but there is so little traffic that it has no impact. In the evenings we went to sleep with a frog's ear and woke up with birds singing. The cottage is quite central if you also want to explore Napier, Arniston and Agulhas and the dirt road is in good condition. Would definitely recommend it.

Lieflik rustig. Watsonia cottage is so entjie uit Stanford uit op 'n grondpad. Mooi, stil omgewing. Die dekor is lovely en die kombuis is goed toegerus. Ons het elke golden hour op die stoep deurgebring en gekyk hoe die son sak oor die berge en die dag gecheers met 'n glas wyn uit die omgewing (daar is great kelders in die Overberg). Die cottage is op die pad, maar daar is so min verkeer dat dit geen impak het nie. Ons het in die aande gaan slaap met 'n paddakoor en wakker geword met voëltjies wat sing. Die cottage is redelik sentraal as mens Napier, Arniston en Agulhas ook wil gaan verken en die grondpad is in 'n goeie kondisie. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

A wonderful family time weekend. It was a wonderful weekend. The farm and area are very beautiful, as is the cottage where we stayed. Only thing we could predict was maybe a kol-kol bath for hot days to use and in winter time.

Dit was 'n wonderlike naweek. Plaas en area is baie mooi, so ook die cottage waar ons gebly het. Enigste ding wat ons kon voorspel was dalk 'n kol-kol bad vir warm dae om te gebruik en in wintertyd.

Tranquil, scenic, airy. Our stay was really relaxing and distressing. The best part was the beautiful scenery/view! I liked the minimalistic look, but the living area could do with some functional furniture like extra chairs with backs. The coffee table is very low, not ideal for playing games/cards. Great WiFi available but no phone signal (which was fine with us). Quite remote but Stanford, Napier and Hermanus are close enough for a day out.

Thank you for your review, Pieter. I am assuming you mean de-stressing. Thank you for your fair comments about the functional furniture. We hope to see you again.

Dankie vir jou resensie, Pieter. Ek neem aan jy bedoel ontstres. Dankie vir jou regverdige kommentaar oor die funksionele meubels. Ons hoop om jou weer te sien.

Enjoyable. Our stay was very nice. Just a few suggestions to the owners. The photos show the fireplaces inside the house, which gives you the impression that you can make a fire inside. The reason we booked this place is that we thought there was a fireplace in the kitchen, which is nice when the weather isn't great. This wasn't the case, and someone had to stand outside and braai while the rest of us were inside because it was cold outside. Rather don't show the fireplace in the photos or make a point to say that you can only use the outside braai, which was also not in the photos. Then the photos are also misleading and look like it is very isolated, which in a way it is, but we were right next to the host's house, so it felt like we were being watched the whole time. We were looking for something more isolated. Then the host should have a look at the roof as it is very loud when the wind is blowing, and it was very difficult to sleep with all the noise. Other than that, the house is very nice, and we enjoyed the getaway. I just think the host should be more transparent with the fireplaces as well as the fact that they are right next to this house. Perhaps show this in the photos.

Dear Michelle. Thank you for taking the time to carefully review our cottage. We hope the closed cast iron fireplace in the lounge helped to warm your weekend, as it was a very blustery cold time, with howling extreme winds at night. Although our outside braai area is completely covered and protected on three sides by walls, the wind was next level. The large kitchen with the Smeg oven and gas stove, I’m sure at least was a help to your group. As you say, the old fireplaces are filled with plants and left as a feature as we didn’t want our guests and our white linen finishes to be smoked out. We did our best to show all these features in the photos. We do appreciate your support and certainly hope you will return.
