Buchu & Num-num

Nothing

This is a review for Num-num 'cottage' which is basically a poor garage conversion. The photos of the property you book are very very confusing. They show the Buchu cottage and garden which is false information as the Num mum garage conversion next door is awful with a junk load of furniture and certainly not worthy of being on any website. The outside space is so bad, an unkept garden with an outside table that's falling apart. The door leading out to this area is broken, doesn't close or lock. The shower is full of black mildew and in dire need of a good clean. The TV didn't work and after contacting the owner eventually after a protracted experimental period managed to get it to work, by then we had missed the rugby we wanted to watch. Finally the front gate leading onto the road was not able to lock, broken! Which meant we felt insecure.

It was so well set up. Excellent location and Marie could not have been more helpful.

This review is for the converted garage….Num-num is where we stayed not Buchu. We liked the owner she was extremely helpful and the location as it is a wonderful village.

The converted garage did not meet any of our expectations for a property in South Africa. It was very shabby and the kitchen items were old and cluttered. The owner did bring a hairdryer but I couldn’t use it as there wasn’t a socket that I could locate to put the plug in. In nut shell the inside and outside sitting areas were extremely poor and we struggled to praise it.

A lovely cottage well located in the beautiful village of Stanford. It was spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. It felt like home. We were sad to leave and hope to return one day. Marié was an excellent host. She was there to welcome us, gave us useful information on the area and kept in contact.

The front gate was difficult to lock.

Location

Weren't allowed to use the pool which was advertised. Were not set up for load shedding

Cosy well equipped cottage with excellent wifi and creature comforts for humans and dogs! We loved the privacy comfort and quality of the bedding.

Loved that my two dogs could join!

A quaint and cozy cottage ideally situated close to all amenities and very well equipped. A wonderful logfire, smart tv, gas stove and solar lighting all contributed to a convenient stay. We happened to be there during the floods, and our hosts were amazing. They were continually checking to make sure we were fine and if we needed anything and updating us with road closure information, etc. They went above and beyond. Also gave us great advice re local restaurants and activities.

Nothing to dislike. Was great

Great location. Well kitted out.
