• Riemer (10/5): -
• Antoinette (8/5): Great stay with a dog - It was pet friendly, our room had a bit of a courtyard one could close with a gate for our dog. They have a lovely pool to cool down in. They were very helpful in providing our son with an extra mattress Lovely wooden / bush area The extra mattress smelled like fish.
• Dave (10/5): Friendly hosts & great accommodation, close to N2, in lush, peaceful, quiet, tranquil surroundings. - Peaceful spot off the N2 between Knysna & Plet.
• Ruth (10/5): Far from the Madding (maddening ) Crowd. A Peaceful, comfortable and relaxing break. Wish we could have stayed a week. - Everything. It was quiet and surrounded by trees and nature. The unit was perfect with two large en suite bedrooms, (one upstairs) a well equipped kitchen and a lounge/dining area, under cover patio with a braai and its own small fenced garden area. Perfect for containing a two year old. Very comfortable and homely. We will definitely be back for longer. We loved absolutely everything. (Someone expecting a beachy Plett holiday may not like the quietness or distance from the sea/restaurants so know what you are booking.)

Très bon rapport qualité prix. Il y avait de l’eau chaude uniquement dans une des deux salles de bains mais c’est peut-être un problème ponctuel.

• Barbara (10/5): Best Place We Have Ever Stayed - We travel often and Masescha is absolutely the best place we have ever stayed. Our hostess, Cheri, was so welcoming and friendly and made it feel like home from the minute we arrived. Nothing was too much and our visit exceeded our expectations because of her. We immediately made our next booking at check out and we cannot wait to come back again. There was absolutely nothing that we didn't like. Our stay was magnificent.
• February (7/5): -
• Malan (7/5): - A nice quiet place to relax. Low water pressure made showering a hassle
• C (7/5): -
• Yury (10/5): A home away from home. - Masescha is an excellent place to relax. It is a home away from home. The hosts are very kind. Thank you very much.
• wilbur (7/5): -
• hanan (9/5): - Design Some street noise is coming in from the wooden door
• Anthea (10/5): Most relaxing venue - The venue is spectacular, tranquility, relaxing and just a home away form home if you want to get away from the city life. Will definitely be back over the December period. Everything was on point nothing to complain about
• Dianne & Peter (9/5): -
• Ivo (7/5): - Starý dům měl svoji svoji atmosféru, ubytování je uprostřed přírody. Hostitelé byli milí. Celý dům má zvukově velmi prostupné stěny, tj. je slyšet každý krok mezi pokoji. Na přespání je to fajn, na delší pobyt by to asi nebylo ideální. Kuchyně je hned u vchodových dveří (tj. dovnitř se chodí přes kuchyni) a je poměrně stísněná.

• Jolintini (10/5): Amazing experience - Very neat and tidy. It had everything we needed. It was in such a perfect area of town. Very green and quiet with just sounds of birds. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our night in this place. The microwave was just taking long to warm up our food, It probably needs some fixing.
• Johan (8/5): Very Pleasant stay - Nice Spacious Cottage with every thing you need, nice and Clean Parking is a Problem , Would have been nice to have a parking spot c;lose to the cottage.
• Herman (10/5): Exceptional -
• Smith (9/5): Stunning tranquil surroundings with a fully equipped cottage. - We loved the entire place, the beauty and tranquility of the forest that surrounds you at Masescha Country Estate. The cottage (Sunbird) is equipped with absolutely everything you need. The attention to detail is superb! An added bonus is that it's pet friendly.

• Fiona (9/5): Our stay was friendly, refreshing, rejuvenating and not long enough. - I loved the location, peaceful and quiet. Friendly host. Situated well away from everything bird song waking you in the morning. We had an unexpected upgrade so we could all be in the same house as we originally booked a double room and an apartment. The guests who were in the big house left early so he offered us the chance to stay together at no extra cost, very thoughful. Love that it's pet friendly too. Felt safe. loved being around forest and trees. Enjoyed the pool to cool off after a sweaty day it is well maintained and a good size. I also loved how dark it got at night time. It was easy to wake up late and felt like a real holiday with no pressures of time or body clock waking me up. The road to get there are big potholes and a bit rough, my car made it and its not a 4x4 we had to take more care while driving. The pool steps were quite deep. One of my party wanted to swim but was scared to use of the deep steps into and out of the pool. They are fine for young and active legs but not for older and more physically challenged. I didn't like that we only got to stay 4 nights:(
