- Shelley J (10/5): Top notch accommodation - One of the best places we've ever stayed in. Spacious room, quality furnishings, kitchenette stocked with cooldrinks, fruit and chips; secure property in a quiet location. Although we didn't use the communal lounge, kitchen and dining room, it's a great concept. Highly recommended.
- Urbaneja (10/5): Una estancia hogareña y elegante - Todo. Es mejor que en las fotos. La suite, el baño, la zona de estar…amueblado con mucho gusto, como si fuera tu casa. Las zonas comunes, la terraza, el jardín… impecable y elegante. La señora que nos atendió fue muy amable y resolutiva. Nos encendió la chimenea del salón común y pasamos una tarde noche inolvidable. El colchón un poco blando para nuestro gusto, pero es algo muy personal.

- Lumkile Patriarch (9/5): We were warmly received by an amazing host and well looked after. - Location, ambience and an amazing host. None
- Kurt (10/5): Hervorragend - Alles perfekt! Sehr freundlicher Empfang. Einfache telefonische Anweisung um ins Haus zu kommen. Sehr schönes, sauberes Zimmer mit einfacher Küchenausstattung. Sehr gutes Bett. Früchte, Getränke und Snaks standen parat. Schöne Aussicht an einer ruhigen Lage. Das Auto konnten wir im Innenhof parkieren. Herzlichen Dank.
- GILLES (9/5): Très bon séjour.je recommande ce logement - Le logement est très fonctionnel et très propre. L hôte a su palier de suite au petit manque de communication en me proposant un logement supérieur.. très professionnel 😉 Un petit manque de communication sur mon arrivée et mon départ .
- joseph (7/5): as most of south africans prefer there own space as tourists - no breakfast included not used to sharing amenities with other guests including kitchen meal table and outdoor space otherwise a great place .all facilities are catered for

- Ali (10/5): - Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft. Alles war sehr sauber, gepflegt und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet.
- Gemma Valdez (10/5): Lovely place, would be happy to stay again. - Wonderful place, host and staff. Impeccable design, amenities, plus a gorgeous view! A full range of thoughtful treats, as well as the basics for coffee and tea. Access to a shared full kitchen, living room, dining room and outdoor spaces (but we were the only guests, so it was like have a large home to ourselves). Everything you could possibly need to self-cater other than the groceries. Every detail was perfect. Just had to move the scent diffuser out of the room since we're sensitive to perfumes.
- van Wyk (9/5): Excellent choice for a stopover or longer stay in Kockstad - Was spacious and conveniently located Can’t hold it against them but wish there was a pool haha!
- Alberto Irvin (10/5): A seamless, safe, and beautifully designed stay with a genuinely welcoming host. - Excellent experience from start to finish. The follow-up before booking was outstanding, with a very helpful phone call that made everything clear and easy. The host was friendly and welcoming, showing a genuine interest in the guests. The place felt extremely safe, was spotless, quiet, and beautifully designed inside. Administration was smooth and efficient throughout. Highly recommended.

- Felizitas (9/5): Der Aufenthalt war gut. - Die Ausstattung war sehr gut und komfortabel. Leider gab es kein Frühstück und keinen Pool. Die Vermieterin war nicht anwesend. Den Schlüssel bekamen wir von einer Angestellten, die kein Englisch konnte. Der Abfluss des Spülbeckens war nicht dicht, sodass das abfließende Wasser in den Schrank und an der Wand hinunter lief. Es gab auch keine Telefonnummer die wir hätten informieren können.
