"'Stoep' Serenity"

10.0

We enjoyed being surrounded by nature and animals out of the busy hustle and bustle of coastal towns but still close enough to go cool down in Arniston or Struisbaai if you're up for a little roadtrip. A beautifully decorated cottage with a sweet back story. With a few solar panels, batteries, and battery operated lights and fans we couldn't be more comfortable. The 'stoep' was our favourite! Thank you for a lovely stay!

"Absolutely amazing!"

10.0

Old Sam's Cottage is our go to place for peace and quiet. We just spent 3 nights there and loved every moment of our stay. On arrival, we saw buck and zebra. Wow, experience!!! The next evening, we had a zebra right in front on us. We also saw so many other smaller wild life. Absolutely awesome!!! Most people would spend thousands to experience what we had! The cottage is well appointed and very clean. We will hopefully be back soon.

"A scary location. Scary place"

1.0

Nothing

I didn’t even check in. After I saw the place and its location, I felt very unsafe as a young woman. I had to cancel and look for another place.

"A beautiful, peaceful stay"

10.0

We initially booked this accommodation simply as a place to sleep on our road trip, but our great experience staying here has become a highlight of our trip! The location of this cottage is amazing. It is such a peaceful, serene setting and it is incredible to go for a walk around the property and see wild zebras, elands, springboks and guinea fowl! The privacy and easy self check in was fantastic. Beautiful views of the stars at night too. Hot water worked well in the shower and there was good water pressure. The cottage is cosy and the kitchen is well-equipped. Excellent value for money!

We couldn’t access the wifi (the password provided did not work, and we had no service on the property to contact the host). It is also not clear on booking.com that there is no electricity at all (no lights, a gas fridge and gas stove), however plenty of torches and candles are provided. We enjoyed the digital detox for one night, but would have needed to be more prepared if we were staying longer.
