Wonderful and looking forward to our next stay. Wonderful stay, not my first time, it is self-catering but we chose to eat out at the Hartford, who are linked and work together.

Spacious and comfortable. The cottage was perfect. Very spacious and comfortable. Everything was thought of, including complementary fresh milk, mineral water, numerous towels, and firewood and kindling for the fireplace. It turned out to be a chilly weekend, so the heated bathroom was amazing too.

Had a lovely stay on the way to Ballito. Would stay there again anytime. This place has the most beautiful view of the mountains. The fireplace was burning beautifully because it was quite cold when we arrived. Had an incredible time at the restaurant on the farm right next door.

Very nice stay, but the road from Mooi River to Old Rearsby has many potholes. Yes, very nice stay.

Unfortunately not very nice. Our experience was unfortunately not pleasant. It was indicated that arrival time was between 14:00 and 18:00. We arrived at 17:35 and were then told by the maid that the receptionist had already left and would only be available the next morning. She just unlocked the place and asked if she could light the fireplace for us. The first thing that struck me was the kitchen. We specifically chose that unit because it had a large refrigerator in the photo on your website. There was no sign of a large refrigerator. The small refrigerator was so iced up that we had to scrape with a knife to get some ice. The ice trays were lying at the bottom of the vegetable shelf without any ice in them. Seeing a farm environment with cattle, one would expect some fresh milk in the refrigerator - no milk - not even Cremora bags. Not a single piece of rusks either. The kitchen windows as well as the entrance door had no curtains in front. The porch light was on all night and shone into the unit. There were dead flies in the kitchen window as well as cobwebs. According to the receptionist, you can clean it now and then it's like that again. I'm sorry, those dead insects haven't been there since that morning. The wardrobe drawer wouldn't open because the knob was off. The door to the front porch wouldn't open because the key was broken. We also couldn't open the Roman blind that was on the door because there were no strings attached. The next morning, the receptionist showed me that I had to pull it loose from above. That's not how a Roman blind works. We had to eat from the coffee table because we couldn't get to the table on the porch because the key was broken. The toilet seat was so crooked. It was very uncomfortable to sit on it. The only plus points were the wonderful bed and bedding, quality crockery and the beautiful view the next morning.

Ongelukkig nie baie lekker nie. Ons ondervinding was ongelukkig nie aangenaam nie. Dit was aangedui dat aankomstyd tussen 14:00 en 18:00 is. Ons het 17:35 gearriveer en is toe deur die bediende meegedeel dat die ontvangsdame reeds weg is en eers die volgende oggend beskikbaar sal wees. Sy het net die plek oopgesluit en gevra of sy vir ons die kaggel kan aansteek. Eerste ding wat my opgeval het, is die kombuis. Ons het spesifiek daardie eenheid gekies omdat hy 'n groot yskas op die foto op jul webblad gehad het. Daar was geen teken van 'n groot yskas nie. Die klein yskassie was so opgeys dat ons met 'n mes moes krap om 'n bietjie ys te kry. Die ysbakkies het onder in die groenterak gelê sonder enige ys daarin. Siende 'n plaasomgewing met beeste, sou 'n mens 'n bietjie vars melk in die yskas verwag - geen melk - nie eens Cremora sakkies nie. Ook geen enkele stukkie beskuit. Die kombuisvensters asook die ingangdeur het geen gordyne voor gehad nie. Die stoeplig het dwarsdeur die nag gebrand en binne die eenheid ingeskyn. Daar was dooie vlieë in die kombuisvenster asook spinnerakke. Volgens die ontvangsdame kan jy nou skoonmaak en dan is dit netnou weer so. Ek is jammer, daardie dooie insekte lê nie van daardie oggend af daar nie. Die klerekas se laai kon nie oopmaak nie a.g.v. die knop wat af was. Die deur na die voorstoep kon nie oopmaak nie aangesien die sleutel gebroke was. Ons kon ook nie die Roman blind wat op die deur was oopmaak nie omdat daar geen toutjies aan was nie. Die volgende oggend het die ontvangsdame gewys dat ek hom van bo af moes los trek. Dit is nie hoe 'n Roman blind werk nie. Ons moes vanaf die koffietafeltjie eet, want ons kon nie by die tafel op die stoep uitkom weens die gebroke sleutel nie. Die toiletbank was so skeef. Dit was baie ongemaklik om daarop te sit. Die enigste pluspunte was die wonderlike bed en beddegoed, gehalte breekware en die mooi uitsig die volgende oggend.

Beautiful view. Very nice stay - beautiful view. Two things: We couldn't find a key to lock the glass door, or a switch to turn off the exterior light.

Quiet and comfortable. The accommodation was well appointed and a great location. The bedding and kitchens are lovely, as are the fireplace and lounge areas. Would love to stay there again.
