• Wynand (10/5): Comfortable stay with an attentive host on a working farm - Granny Smith Cottage is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. The host, Erika, was amazingly attentive and even let us come along to help with the cows! The property is very rural, so do expect an interesting drive along the unmade road. Himeville and Underberg (for shopping) are both conveniently nearby.

• Julien (10/5): Awesome Cottage - We have no word to describe how truly beautiful the cottage offers spectacular views of the mountains. From the sunrise to the sunset, your soul is just blown. The place is so quiet & peaceful, surrounded by a beautiful preserved nature and animals. The cottage was sparkling clean, and we loved the personal furniture and decorations that the place brings (paintings, plants, vintage furniture, fireplace). It gives an incredible 'gezelligheid' touch and home feeling. Although we stayed during winter, it was warm and had no humidity. Last but not least, Erika and her husband are wonderful hosts. Erika showed us around and took good care of us by providing everything we needed. The communication was very easy and much appreciated. THANK YOU. Our biggest hope is to come back for a longer time.

• Nasee (8/5): Greatly enjoyed, overall. - Very quaint, fairly spacious, and lovely views. Decor is lovely and we were pleasantly surprised by how comfy it was. One bathroom is modern and the other old, but comfortable nonetheless. Comfy mattresses and pillows. The second bathroom is not nearly as nice as the first, no cupboard space in the second room. Though that in the main bedroom is very spacious
