Tafelkop Keisie Self Catering Cottage

Friendly Host and we enjoyed the hot tub and braai

The unit is right next to the main road

The warm welcome and little snack basket was delightful. We were welcomed by a hot tub ready to be enjoyed ♡ Thank you so much for your generous hospitality and comfortable stay.

We have no negative comments. The whole experience exceeded our expectations.

Loved the peacefulness of staying out of town. Lovely cozy braai area with a wood fired hot tub and plenty of wood supplied for the tub fire. Very friendly and helpful owners who left us some lovely snacks.

Nothing

Okkie and Paula were kind, warm and friendly hosts who treated us more like extended family. I'm a South African and it was delightful to enjoy their legendary warm South African hospitality. They welcomed us on arrival and Okkie gave us a brief tour of the farm, pointed out nearby walking trails and shared information about the local area. As requested, the hot tub was ready for use on our arrival. Inside the cottage awaited a welcome gift of fresh fruit, dried fruit (made by the hosts), fresh sourdough bread, home baked biscuits, and a bottle of Montagu muscadel. The cottage was cosy and well appointed. The wifi worked well, the hot water was consistent and the water pressure good. The beds were really comfortable. There was a lovely outdoor dining area with electrical sockets and a hotplate, which was great for preparing breakfast. The hot tub was fabulous! The water temperature was excellent and it was spacious. Okkie provided a generous amount of firewood and kindling and there were matches and firelighters. The wood pieces were just the right size, so everything was ready for use. The accommodation is rustic rather than luxurious but that's exactly what we wanted. I really appreciated the many thoughtful touches in the cottage. It was as if they really took a careful look around and added everything they thought someone might need. There was insect spray, air freshener, a hairdryer, adaptor plugs, a clothes rack for damp towels and swimming costumes, to name a few items. The kitchen was well equipped with a microwave, hotplate and oven, toaster and coffee maker. A full size fridge was available. The kitchen had limited work surfaces, so not meant for major food preparation. A previous reviewer had complained about the cottage being too close to the road. Yes it is close and there was some traffic noise, but it's not a highway, so the traffic noise wasn't really a problem.

There was nothing I did not like and I would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation. While it wasn't a problem for me, it is 15 km to the town, so there is nothing nearby. I really enjoyed the tranquility but others may want a bit more activity.
