- Natasha (10/5): We have stayed here twice, and we will definitely stay here again - It’s such a neat and cosy place to stay. It’s inviting and clean. Great value for money The parking space and the shower temperature wasn’t very hot
- Karabo (9/5): We had a wonderful stay at the Stables. Beautifully furnished and fully equipped cottage that became our home away from - Beautifully furnished and fully equipped cottage which also provides easy access to the Howick city centre. Great WiFi connectivity and plenty of privacy, it didn’t feel like we were on someone’s property. Nothing at all. We enjoyed our stay.

- Petro (7/5): Overall very nice stay. Enjoyed the quietness. Was welcomed very friendly by owner. - Small and comfortable little cottage. Quiet and private. Everything you need is in the cottage. Was not as clean as expected to be. Underneath bed not clean lot of dust. Air fryer and microwave was not clean. Wanted to use air fryer but decided not to it was full of oil sticky and not clean. Mirror in room will be good as a woman struggled with hairdryer to blow hair. Bedside lamps plugs very difficult to use in room. Maybe consider a carport for guests cars.

- Holmes (4/5): Overall, our stay was disappointing due to cleanliness issues, lack of comfort, and ongoing disruptions that made it har - It has great potential to be a wonderful flat. Nice and central While the property had potential and some nice touches, there were several areas that fell short of expectations. The crockery and cutlery had clearly only been rinsed, with dried food still on them, making them unusable without rewashing. Similarly, the air fryer—while a great addition—was so dirty it couldn’t be used, and it seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned in quite some time. We were asked to vacuum up after our dogs, which is fair, but it would have been appreciated if the same level of cleanliness had been extended to the kitchenware before our arrival. The floors were bare concrete, which made the space quite cold, and unfortunately, the heaters did not work. There was only one electric blanket for a bed, which was thoughtful but not sufficient for the conditions. In the bathroom, hand soap was not provided—only a used bar of soap left in the shower, which felt unhygienic. The water temperature was only lukewarm, which made showers uncomfortable. Lastly, on both Saturday and Sunday, there were workers on the property doing tasks like drilling and sweeping right outside our windows. This disrupted any sense of privacy or relaxation and made it difficult to enjoy the stay. These are all relatively small issues that could be easily addressed with a bit more attention to detail and guest comfort.

- Rosangela (10/5): Exceptional - Nice design, clean, comfortable. Possibility of using smart tv. Equipped with everything you need. Easy self check-in and check-out. Good position. We liked it very much! There's no visible sign with the cottage name outside, so it took a bit longer than expected to find it. But overall nothing too complicated.

- Wesley (10/5): Beautiful Inside - The cottage was spotless. It is beautiful inside and has everything you need for a short stay. After a difficult trail running event, it was great to arrive at a lovely decorated cottage which has great security and to get into a hot bath. You have complete privacy since the owner has constructed neat wooden walls which creates your own 'space' from the main house. Very close to grocery stores, the Vern pub and other restaurants. 11km away is Piggly Wiggly. Will definitely be back if another overnight stay is needed in the area. Elderly visitors may struggle with only having a bath because there is no shower. That's the only point of concern I had.
- Ilijevski (10/5): Exceptional place to stay - The cottage was absolutely perfect. Had everything you would need. Beds comfortable. Everything was clean and neat. There was nothing bad about this cottage.

- Debbie (8/5): Lovely and ideal for a quick stay - has everything you need - The place is cute and very clean - nice attention to detail /thoughtful touches. TV had Netflix, Prime and Disney which is nice. Host was friendly. Felt safe in the place too. Although communication from host was great and detailed prior to arrival, when we arrived we did need to call over the wall for assistance as calls were not answered but this was not a huge issue - and it was resolved fast and all was sorted.
- Luthando (9/5): Superb -
