• Molefi (10/5): - Very private Nothing
• Nkateko (10/5): - Everything was perfect 👌 We loved everything
• Happiness Zanele (9/5): I enjoyed my stay so much. I loved the fact that we had privacy and everything we needed was available. The kids also en - I loved everything about this place. The house, the location, the view. Everything was just perfect! The host gives you privacy, you get to enjoy your stay without anyone bothering you. And when you need her, she responds quickly which is nice. I’m definitely coming back! Maybe the pool can be a heated one so that visitors can still enjoy it even on days when the weather is not so good. But that’s not a train smash.
• Nico (9/5): very safe clean and comfortable, the pool was great for the kids, will definitely come back - Great place next to the dam, very safe clean and comfortable, the pool was great for the kids none
• Herman (10/5): Paradise - Beautiful and very clean place

• Emmerentia (9/5): - Nice quiet and comfortable break away. The home is fully equipped in a beautiful setting.
• Chane (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Pogiso (9/5): It was really exceptional and would recommend it to anyone - 1. It’s so quiet and we could sleep peacefully at nights, we could also walk around the property at the mountain and dam. 2. There was no power in the area and we couldn’t even realise it, the inverter and gas took care of us very well. I didn’t like long unpaved road from the entrance

• Nicolas (9/5): Très bien. - La maison était propre, au calme avec une vue magnifique. Excellent rapport qualité-prix. Je recommande ! Le chemin de la route principale à la maison était compliqué. Mais avec un suv, aucun problème.
• Thabo (8/5): - Liked the fact that it felt like a home away from home, it's tranquil and offers good amenities. My 7 year old couldn't use the splash pool last time due to cold weather, but she thoroughly enjoyed it this time around. Hosts were accomodating of our needs and requests and we are greatful for that kind of flexibility!
• Monay Botha (10/5): - Everything about the place was so beautiful , we had a wonderful stay ! It was peaceful Absolutely nothing
• Galvin (9/5): -
• Msoma (9/5): - The place is very quiet and full of nature Everything was ok, except the owner sent us a warning message which I did not like
• Jaco (10/5): Amazing stay in a beautiful location - Beautiful location and the house had all the luxuries we needed. Also the instructions from the hosts were super clear and timely.
• Lorna Somers (8/5): - The property was beautiful with a wonderful view of the lake and in warmer weather the deck and pool would have been well used. The house is well furnished, a fully equipped kitchen which is rare. and excellent wifi . Overall no faults we would definitely come again it is out of town so come prepared which we did. Really nothing to complain. Just a note it was an exceptionally cold weekend and lots of throws were to hands but no form of heating so hot water bottles or panel heaters would make it perfect . We did bring wood with so used the fireplace in the lounge and had lovely log fires burning
• Christelle (10/5): -
• Admire (9/5): Superb -
• Keitumetse (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about the place Nothing
• Ndlovukazi (10/5): Exceptional - Everything!!!!!
• Hutch (10/5): I wanted to get away to unwind and this was exactly the place to go. - The property was lovely. It has a very vintage and natural aesthetic to it and the view MY WORD, breath taking. It’s in the middle of a tropical rain forest and the green settings and onsite wildlife will make you feel like a tourist in your home country. I most liked that the kitchen was fully equipped. There are more towels than one can use. There are activity and restaurant recommendations stacked into a cute little box on the living room table. The outside seating area is perfect for morning breakfast or a family braai. There’s a beautiful beginner friendly hiking train on this property that leads you to an absolutely serene lake. I sat there for an hour just taking it all in while being visited by all sorts of wildlife, but I’ve nothing unsafe . Everything was perfect. I mean there was swimming towels provided separately to showering towels. Cute lil blankets for outside chilling. The thought and detail that was put into this is amazing. I would have liked if there was a few food related provisions like salt, sugar, milk and oil. I forgot all about these which made my first morning a little less ideal. Also check the weather before making a booking. We couldn’t take advantage of the private pool because it was raining all weekend. And this is a rain forest after all.
• Lene (10/5): Pleasant and enjoyable - The property was secluded and quiet. Very clean home.
• Anna (6/5): Pleasant - We liked : The outside area The fact that the place is spacious The quiet and peacefulness of the place (despite some road noise but that's not too bad) We didn't like: The cleanliness of the place : it really needs to be deeply cleaned. It is dusty and feels/smells stale. The pool in particular needs a good scrub - see picture. Also, the blankets provided in the living room are smelly. That being said, the bathrooms, kitchen and linen were clean so we didn't feel too uncomfortable using the space. It is worth noting that the place is old and needs maintenance. For example, one of the window in the bathroom leaks and the king bed is tired and no longer comfortable to sleep in. The whole estate feels a bit abandoned to be honest but this might be a + for some people as it is tranquille. There is no lake view as the trees are high but you're still in nature so the view is green and still pleasant. Also note that there is no privacy as the property is not fenced, you can see your neighbours and anyone can cross the garden at anytime (that being said there is a code to enter the estate so only people with access to the estate are around - which is not many)
• Gumbosen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thoriso (9/5): Great stay and value for money. If you’re looking for an escape from the busy city life then I recommend this place. Jus - The peace and quite

• Msiza (1/5): Bad - Its a private cottage Service and pool was not clean,being accessed of making noise and most of the time there is no electricity
• Wethu (10/5): Felt like Home away from home 😊 -
• Swart (10/5): Homey and Quiet Stay - It was a very "homey" stay, secluded and quiet, which was lovely. There were a few tiny little snags. The gas braai had a few burners that didn't work and the DSTV was not activated. Saying that, these were not big enough issues to complain about as we enjoyed the stay either way
• Van (9/5): beautiful tranquil setting near the banks of the da gama dam , lovely splash pool on the hot days - the fans in the bedrooms need replacing . bit noisy ..
• Tebogo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martin (9/5): Superb -
• René (9/5): Superb -
• Marle (9/5): Nice relaxed stay. Property met the requirements for a week's stay. Would definitely stay there agai - Cosy spot in a peaceful location. Kids enjoyed the pool and facilities in general. Nothing much
• Julandi (9/5): Superb - The rooms was big and comfortable. Kitchen well equiped. Amazing view. We will book again for a longer period. On the morning that we left there was no water. I reported the issue but had to leave early and could not wait for the water.
• Lucy (10/5): Excellent - Everything! The location, facilities.. I cannot fault it in anyway. The property had everything we needed. My kids enjoyed their stay, they had fun watching animals around the location and the walk down to the lake. Nothing
• Robin (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful quiet Cottage with a Pool and an amazing view. We loved discovering new birds and cute banded mongoose. Nothing

• Nare (10/5): Exceptional -

• Moffat (9/5): Place remains one of my favourites, affordable, friendly and clean - Self catering facility Facility well located, private and tranquil Opening access to the lake for sightseeing
• Rick (2/5): It wa not a nice experience. We were very nervous . - The situation and view was beautiful We did not feel secure. We were told it was a security estate. We did not see one guard. No other people around to ask. The security system did not work. No phone numbers. No tv no WiFi. Deck falling apart. No communication
• Moses (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mahdiyyah (9/5): Amazing value for money - The place was so comfortable and Sylvie was so helpful. The location was stunning Would appreciate a bit more bedding in hand as we went when it was quite cold and would've appreciated a bit more.
• Ernstzen (9/5): Superb -
• Azania (10/5): Exceptional -
• Delrie (7/5): Good - The view is so beautiful. We love secluded areas. I really liked the house The day we arrived the braai area was dirty and bins behind the house dirty that mongoose raided every morning at 6. The area didn't feel very safe. Some of our things went missing. Would have liked to use the Braai on the stoep where the gas is more than down in front of the house. At night I felt like there could be more light on the stoep outside.
• Ana (10/5): I left a little of my heart at Robin Cottage - Everything. The home is charming. A home away from home and the surrounding ambiance magical. Loved everything
• Ronel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nomasonto (10/5): Exceptional - Very astonished views,I liked everything was beautiful and clean room Nothing
• Ndumiso (10/5): Exceptional - My family and I really enjoyed the outdoor setup. It was very quiet, equipped and peaceful. Our host kept communicating with us throughout the entire stay. This is an ideal area and place for time off and unwinding. Nothing.
• Lulu (6/5): Travelling family - I loved the peace and quiet and the outside furniture. The fireplace is so warm but there's no firewood, buy on your way up. The kitchen is fully stocked with all cutlery and crockery including a stick blender but no kitchen scissors. The owners have worked hard to try and make the apartment homely, it's quite comfortable. We found the place so easily, the address on booking.com literally takes you to the door step. There are monkeys walking around freely but they are friendly. There are some wild boks as well walking around. There is no hammock, I went for the hammock and there wasn't one The alarm doesn't work Make sure you get your own fire wood as the nights get cold when it storms/hails, the owner does not tell you that. The bedsheets in the bedroom with the two single beds had blood on them and the bathroom was dirty. Look inside the cupboard that is under the basin. We paid a cleaning fee but our apartment was not cleaned the whole time we were there. There's no sugar, tea or coffee, bring your own. The gas braai doesn't work. All amenities are really far from the accommodation, first shopping area is 23 minutes away so I'll suggest that you go here only if you want the peace and quiet. There is no river view, it's blocked by trees. No directions to get to the river, there is no staff on the property.
• Sahal (7/5): Good -
• Morwasehla (10/5): Best place to visit - Nice place to be at, it's clean and also the staff are very friendly. They are loadshedding ready, swimming pool is clean... They have different board games for all ages... My kids enjoyed and loved everything about the place and to top it all it was our second time booking that place definitely going back again soon. If I didn't like the place, I wouldn't have returned for the second time :-)
• Douglas (9/5): Beautiful house overlooking lake. - Very quiet and safe, great view, good kitchen, very comfortable.
• Mmadineo (8/5): Nice place 👌 - The owner was very carrying and concerned about us. He communicated with us from time to time, and that made our stay very pleasant 😊 ☺️ Would recommend a new bedding, not saying that the one bed bad, but probably the colors.
• Mfanafuthi (10/5): Exceptional - My preferred kind of a holiday where I get to relax,unwind and explore places and map out exactly what i need to do the next morning (activities).The place was perfect and almost close to most of the places I think they should invest more on back-up power(solar)in case of load shedding,yes they tried with rechargeable lights but wasn't enough...apart from that had an amazing stay
• Sphesihle (10/5): Exceptional - Everything, especially the dishwasher, haha. I have a big family, so dishes become an issue sometimes, so such facilities assist a lot. I loved the prompt response regarding everything that we needed. My children love the pool. Hubby and I love the peace and quiet. I could've used the laundry, but it got too busy that I couldn't. I love how this property has everything you need as a family. Nothing. All was exceptional
• Aamna (8/5): Very good -
• Lerato (10/5): All in all me and my family enjoyed every moment, - The place is in a quiet environment and monkeys carrying their little ones on their front, the swimming pool was so clean. The bedding and extra towels plus that safety things for the kids. my 4 year old enjoyed swimming with it. it was nice there are pots and soap to wash the dishes and yes it was a very nice place to be. i would not mind to stay there for a week or so , oh not forgetting the lake side, and that people there are so friendly. Well the bed is a bid sinking.
• Moila (10/5): Exceptional - The place is quiet and peaceful
• Muhammad (9/5): Superb - Embarking upon the enchantment of this hallowed abode proves to be an unequivocal sojourn, a fortnight's dalliance unfolding like the intricate threads of a finely woven tapestry. It casts a spell of familiarity, transforming this dwelling into a veritable sanctuary, a respite from the mundane confines of our habitual abode. The conscious choice to partake in the art of self-catering unfolds as an endeavor of immense reward, the opulence of a doorstep pool manifesting itself as a grandiose luxury, contingent upon the weather deigning to favor our whims. Venturing to the adjacent dam introduces opportunities for invigorating wild swims or languid fishing escapades. Prudence dictates acknowledgment of the dam's lack of creature comforts, mandating the inclusion of basic seating arrangements for an optimal experience. The tapestry of our abode was meticulously woven with comfort, boasting a kitchen that beckoned with tasteful furnishings, accompanied by two resplendent bedrooms and lavishly appointed bathrooms in equal measure. A whimsical touch was bestowed with the presence of hammocks, a subtle nod to indulgence. In the throes of load shedding, the gas braai emerged as our culinary savior, facilitating the preparation of myriad epicurean creations. The generosity of our hosts mirrored the boundless expanse of their kindness. A mere whisper of discontent concerning the indispensable dishwasher, a linchpin in our domestic harmony, elicited their swift response—a replacement materialized in the form of a brand-new apparatus within the span of a day. Beyond these benevolent gestures, our hosts graciously extended access to their fishing tackle, exhibiting unwavering responsiveness to our myriad inquiries. It transcended the mere realms of accommodation, morphing into a proverbial home away from home. Amidst this captivating symphony, a gentle note of suggestion emerges.

• Thomsowa (6/5): Disappointed - Central location to explore the lowveld, the unit has two seperate bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (bath and shower), huge patio with good sunset views, hammock on the patio to relax and enjoy the silence of the area Cleanliness not up to standard, pool was dirty and pump was not working, gas braai was not working, access gate would not open with provided code (host not available to open), limited lighting available for loadshedding, poorly maintained electrical fittings i.e. many light bulbs not working, bed lamps out of order, patio furniture old and delapidated etc
• Sphesihle (10/5): Family trip - The house was amazing and clean. We liked the entire facility . The kids loved the pool so much. The kids asked for us to visit again. Communication was easy and quick and the directions were clear and accurate. Definitely coming back in December We couldn't use the barbecue because the gas cylinder was in a different unit. May you consider having a gas cylinder for each unit
• Zwelithini (7/5): Good -
