Visiting from the UK, Angela the host gave clear directions & gate entry info. On arrival we were greeted with a thatch roof rondawel in the most serene & private surroundings. Felt so tranquil & peaceful looking out over her beautiful garden. The rondawel has a lovely rustic feel & was spotless with the little touches of tea, coffee, sugar & milk plus some delicious biscuits & a dram of Sherry! There’s a fire pit to enjoy looking up at the vast African sky & a swimming pool to enjoy by day. Vervet monkeys were busy foraging & little duikers came to visit. We stayed here 4 times during our visit we enjoyed it so much. Angela gave us tips on places to visit & eat & was so friendly during our stays. We will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved our stay! The setting is incredibly peaceful, with breathtaking views of the river and mountains. Whether we were relaxing on the day bed or simply soaking in the natural beauty, every moment felt special. Our children had an amazing time making the fire for the hot tub, chopping wood, and swimming in the river—it was the perfect outdoor adventure for them! The tented camp itself is beautifully designed inside and out, blending comfort with nature effortlessly. This was truly a magical escape, and we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended.

Beautiful location on the farm. Excellent breakaway to rest and escape the rush. Beautiful view of the mountains and surroundings. The kids could walk on the farm and see the farm animals up and close. We loved it

Such a nice River Cottage. Super friendly host.

My boyfriend and I stayed for a few days at the fisherman's cottage. It was so peaceful and private. The cottage was comfortable and cozy. The surrounding area was so beautiful and I spent a large part of my stay sitting on the veranda watching the birds and cows around the dam. Theo and Kevin were excellent hosts and were very responsive to any questions that I had. Thank you so much for the lovely stay. I will be recommending this cottage to my friends and family.

Tracy’s place is awesome, close to shops and restaurants, effortless check in, will definitely return.

Had a wonderful stay in a very well equipped cottage. The stairs to the loft are very steep. Perhaps a handrail on the side would make it easier and safer to get up and down. The location is awesome. Very peaceful, safe and secure. Would highly recommend staying here.

Thank you for sharing your place with us Steve. We had an amazing holiday. The peaceful surroundings and the Mearns dam made our stay more memorable. Steve was so helpful and assisted us throughout our trip. We appreciated all the free goodies that welcomed us into the cottage. We highly recommend your place and we will definitely visit again.
