Babylons Tower Cottage

The location is beautiful. it was so lovely having breakfast on the patio. The bedrooms and lounge are well sized, and can comfotably fit a family of 4-5.

There was no shower. There were only 2 baths. I prefer showering, so this was not ideal for me. The gas stove also didn't stay on when I tried to turn it on. The home is lovely, but needs a bit of TLC in terms of paint and minor DIY jobs.

Hi there, it really is a lovely space with beautiful views and vista. Good communication and instructions. Very comfortable, spacious with appealing decor. A great fire place, plenty of wood and an axe. The kitchen is well equipped. Both rooms have onsuite bathrooms which is a plus. Wifi worked well. It felt good not to have a TV! Hope to return for a longer visit to further enjoy the accomodation and surrounds.

Both batheooms had baths only. An indoor shower would be good, especially in winter months, as its too cold for the outdoor shower. Re. signage: a few more cottage signs would be good, especially near the entrance.

A hidden gem. The best location. Beautiful surroundings. Accommodation was comfortable. Loved the outside shower experience. Two bedrooms on suite was a bonus.

A bowl of the farm apples would have been a nice touch.

Well equipped little cottage on the top of the hill with spectacular views of the Hemel en Arde valley and mountains

Nothing, it suited us perfectly

Beautiful cottage and wonderful estate. We had a very enjoyable stay, great weather, privacy and felt at home! Thank you

Wifi would be great!

A fantastic and secluded spot with beautiful views, close to wineries. The host was wonderful and went above and beyond – when we got stuck in the mud after heavy rain, they quickly sent Freddy with a tractor to help us out. The farm roads are well kept, and you don’t need a 4x4. The kitchen was well equipped. Firewood was provided (a bit wet, but it dried out well for both the indoor fireplace and braai), perfect for the very cold weekend when we visited. Beds were warm, the couches were huge and very cozy, and the stoep was a perfect place to relax. Lovely walking paths, pet-friendly, with thoughtful extras like walking sticks, a leash, and even some games. Beautiful rows of apple trees - can imagine it would look even more gorgeous when the trees blossom! Great setup for two couples or for families.

Could use a few extra touches like salt, pepper, and olive oil. The outdoor shower and two baths are lovely, but worth noting you might not use shower for cold winter visits.
