Terribly delicious! Very peaceful and beautiful. We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! The location is absolutely perfect – you are surrounded by the most beautiful scenery and the peaceful atmosphere makes you relax immediately. Everything is neat, well-kept and has that cozy feel that makes you feel at home. The area itself is beautiful, with so much to see and do. Will definitely come back again!

It was an absolute pleasure hosting Keith and Laurel. Lovely, easy-to-please guests, whose first time in the area proved to be most enjoyable for them and suited their interests. It was so nice to chat to them and be able to offer them some advice on what to see and do. Would be very happy to have them back to stay.

Absolute serenity! The Cottage was absolutely lovely to stay in. My spouse and I had such a wonderful time soaking up the beauty of the cottage's surroundings. It was so serene we cannot get over it. Thank you for such a wonderful stay! The mountain never fails to help one reset and relax.

Cozy cottage, beautiful garden and friendly hostess. The hostess was very friendly, and the place was neat and clean, and had everything and more that one would need. Wonderfully quiet on a side street with no direct traffic.

Ideal for overnight stays on the way to/from the Kruger National Park. Charming cottage, comfortably furnished with a small kitchen.

The manager, Robin, is very helpful and friendly. Great stay! High quality accommodation at a reasonable rate, in a quiet part of town. The unit is fully equipped with quality appliances and furniture. Robin is a long-time resident of Haenertsburg and she gave valuable advice on attractions in the town and surrounding area. We would happily stay at the Cottage again and can recommend it.

Reasonable, but wouldn't recommend. The Cottage needs a lot of maintenance. Cupboard hinges are broken, shower curtain is loose, coffee table is falling apart, knives are blunt, security gate lock is out of position. Musty smell could only have been from wet weather. Cobwebs in the thatch roof. Would have really appreciated a flat sheet. Front garden was neglected and no secure parking.

Thank you very much for your review. I'm very sorry it wasn't up to your expectations, and having checked out your concerns, I cannot substantiate most of the problems mentioned. I would have appreciated your discussing them with me to rectify what you were not happy with.

Thank you, Rita. Your stay was brief and we were both out and about, so unfortunately, I did not have the pleasure of meeting you, but I'm thrilled that you found everything to your satisfaction.

Well situated. Very comfortable. Contains everything one requires. Friendly reception. Well situated. Very comfortable. Contains everything one requires - see summary below. Haenertsburg is a pleasant old-world type of village with beautiful surroundings and various activities. The weather can be erratic but is certainly worth a visit for a few days.

This couple were model guests and loved the cottage and village ambience. Cold and wet weather set in, and unfortunately, they were unable to enjoy the many activities and amazing sightseeing in the area that they were hoping for. They have promised to return when the sun is shining! We look forward to welcoming them again!
