Woodcliffe Country House

Tranquil and scenic

Lack of Signal

Phyll communicated all details and was a great host. The location is remote, peaceful and extraordinary, the cottage was serviced daily and thoroughly by a lovely person. Was great to have an opportunity to disconnect.

take heed of advice given on the road conditions, they are passable but the most comfortable drive.

Warm welcome. Cottage was very well-equipped. Stunning views.

Wifi did not extend to our cottage.

Beautiful cottage nestled in the mountains with awesome views .Phyl is a caring host and set the table for our arrival .The cottage was well stocked with wood for the cozy fireplace .Our beds had electric blankets .The kithcen was well stocked with electric stove and microwave and gas cooker to accomadate for the electricla outages

The drive to the cottage from Maclear is difficult 21 km on gravel but we were prepared .I would recommend a visit of more thgan one night to make it worth while .Unfortunately it had been raining hard and we could not explore the property as we had planned but we will next visit

The correspondence from our host was outstanding and she went the extra mile to give directions, recommend a butcher in Maclear and organise a tour. We arrived in pouring rain, but she welcomed us at the car and took us to the cottage, where she opened up and explained how everything worked. Throughout the stay she checked in with us to ensure that we were comfortable. The cottage is very well equipped and the gas geyser and gas stove, as well as the dishwasher and washing machine were welcome bonusses. The beauty of the area and the farm in particular is breathtaking. Although it is a working cattle farm, flies (and other insects) were not a problem at all, as ample provision is made in the cottage to deter them. The serenity, peace and quiet that surrounded us, the pitch darkness at night, the very bright starts and the sound of the nearby stream and frogs, the mist rolling in and covering the mountains .... true escape from the city!

A Queen size bed in the main bedroom, in stead of the double bed, would have been great. We missed a desk in a bedroom, but the large dining room table made up for that.

Quiteness, Natural Environment and Scenery

Accessing the place was not what I expected due to untarred road
