Aloe Cottage

The cottage is quaint, very clean, and well-presented. It’s wonderfully secure for bringing the pups along, which we really appreciated. The indoor and outdoor braai areas are great, and the sunsets are absolutely stunning. We also loved the convenience of being able to order firewood ahead of time. (Note: It is a working farm, so there is some active noise. It didn't bother us, but it's worth noting if you want complete silence).

Unfortunately, the cottage falls short on comfort. I am 8 months pregnant and tried not to complain, but when my husband woke up on day two saying we needed to go home just to get a comfortable rest, I knew it wasn't just me. The sofas are very worn through, and we actually preferred sitting on the wooden kitchen chairs. Also, while the kitchen is well-equipped, some items like the microwave and grater are rusted and unusable. It would also be highly appreciated if small details like hand wash were provided at the sinks. Lastly, we were really looking forward to the fresh eggs and bread mentioned in other reviews, but sadly we didn't get to enjoy that perk. With a few small upgrades, this place would be perfect.

We were on our honeymoon so it was perfect. Peace and quiet. A whole home to ourself. Tannie Marthie was super helpful and we are still bragging about the free champagne.

Het was heel erg basic allemaal. We zijn eerder vertrokken mede omdat er waren ontzettend veel vliegen waren.

Super Preis-Leistung. Man muss wissen weit und breit kein anderes Haus in Sicht, aber gute Entfernung zum De Hoop Nature Reservat. Und man darf keine Scheu vor Insekten haben da sind einige im Haus zu finden . Die Besitzerin war sehr nett.

Super nette Gastgeberin, die sich um alles kümmert wenn es Probleme gibt

Nice setting, alone and quiet. Very neat. Freshly baked bread on arrival. A braai inside and out.

The directions to the farm was not clear. We stayed 2 days and should have liked the cottages to be cleaned and some wood put out for the second evening's braai.

Very nice, clean, friendly and beautiful setting. Thanks also for the warm baked bread!

The price is a little high compared to what I have experienced before - The mattress is not as comfortable as I would have liked it to be.
