Loved the location, we are horsie people so went directly to your beautiful barn and had a quick chat to your horses and stable manager. Absolutely loved Scotts cottage, so nicely and appropriately decorated.

We all struggled a bit with the lighting in the evening and in the morning. Dark ceilings with no downlighters made it a little dim at night.

The road is bad!!

Lovely location close to the heart of Franschoek. Nice cottage, comfortable, clean, with a cosy wood-burning fireplace which was perfect for a cold, stormy evening. Very peaceful and secure. A helpful and friendly host who assisted with a suitable solution to an unpleasant maintenance issue. Load-shedding light bulbs, emergency torches, candles and a gas stove made load-shedding a non-issue

1. Problem with bad smell in bedroom. Thought to be a small dead animal. Later discovered to be coming from the shower drain which appears to have had a plumbing fault resulting in the sewer smell in the main bedroom 2. Bad crack in glass roof enclosure section of dining area. Resulted in very bad leak during heavy rain that evening which filled a 15 litre dustbin and caused minor flooding in the area below 3. Lamps that didn't work (at least two; one in lounge and one in main bedroom) and at least two very skew lampshades which had detached from their bases. 4. No anti-mosquito devices/sprays to keep the mosquitoes away whilst sleeping. This is essential for a good summer night's sleep

the view is superb. The complementary wine was most welcome. A generator (which ran all but one night) ensures minimal loadshedding interruptions Access to walk around freely and visit the horses was most welcome Jonathan came to speak to us about the horses and other options available to us. he was a pleasure and very kind towards us and the kids.

When we arrived we struggled to locate the 2 cottages we had booked. We found the first, however the other was placed slightly off the road behind another cottage. Finally a fellow guest informed us of the additional cottage. The cottages are rustically designed which gives character, however it does mean that some of the furniture is 'old' and sometimes fragile so there is a need to be extra careful Loadshedding meant the freezer was frozen solid Our kids excitedly headed off to the swimming pool however did not enter it was not very clean which was bit disapponting.

Amazing location, it was our break away from our wedding the day before

Location

The units are furnished in style, but a little run-down.

Gorgeous situation and views, walks a dog friendly.

Tranquil and secluded location with exceptional views of the valley and surrounding mountains. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped for self catering, with a great BBQ and outdoor fire pit, log burning hot tub and open fireplace in the lounge. The outdoor sitting area is spacious and enjoyable to take in the views, see the horses in the paddock and watch the sunset. Conveniently located to Franschhoek for the amenities and great restaurants. Did enjoy the excellent rose from the vineyard too.

Jonathan was a star. Very friendly. Views and horses were awesome. Close to all the wine farms and restaurants was an added bonus.

Outside braai very exposed to wind. Would be easy to close.

The location was safe enough for the place to be unlocked. It was in a gated community, so safety was amazing.

The one bedroom's bathroom was off the kitchen and you had to walk through the bathroom to get to the bedroom. If memory serves correctly there was no door on that bathroom, between the bedroom and bathroom.
