A pleasant, comfortable stay.

I had a very pleasant stay. I was on a course in Grabouw. The cottages were within easy travelling distance from the venue. Some nights I came back late but always felt very safe. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Perfect location in Elgin Valley feels remote from everything which is great.

Lovely cottage with stunning views of the lake and surroundings. Peregrine farmstall/restaurant only 5 km away on N2 for amenities if needed.

Al ons verwagtinge oortref.

Baie lekker. Ons het net gesukkel met die warm water. Die gasbottel was omgeruil met 'n vol een, maar die water het steeds kort-kort koud geword. So, ons moes terwyl ons stort, eers uitklim, die wasbakkraan eers oopmaak, dan die stortkraan oopmaak en wag dat die water warm word. Verder het ons baie lekker gebly. Als baie mooi en netjies en skoon.

Exceeded all our expectations.

Very nice. We just struggled with the hot water. The gas bottle had been replaced with a full one, but the water still got cold every now and then. So, while taking a shower, we had to get out first, open the sink faucet first, then open the shower faucet and wait for the water to warm up. Furthermore, we had a very nice stay. Als very nice and neat and clean.

Lekker rustige naweek met die mooiste uitsig!

Die huisie het redelik alles wat mens nodig het. 'n Rasper en eierspaan kan dalk voorsien word in die kombuis. Ons het lekker gekuier, net die weer het nie saamgespeel nie, so 'n binnebraai area sou lekker gewees het.

The cottage has pretty much everything you need. A grater and egg spatula may be provided in the kitchen. We had a great time, only the weather didn't cooperate, so an indoor barbecue area would have been nice.

Way over charged en onder standard vir R500 n nag in my opinion.

Unfortunately not. Plek asook beddegoed het gestink na muf a. g. v die waterskade in die mure, die geyser is of kookend warm of ys koud so kon nie stort gebruik nie. In my opinion is dit nie R500 n nag werd nie.

We, a group of 3, wanted accommodation near the wedding venue we were attending Sat 21st Jan.

I was disappointed though that I did enquire about the number of bathrooms, as it said accommodation or 4. Ryan reassured me that it was one bathroom en-suite, and the other room had 2 single beds and a separate bathroom. I was disappointed to find that there was only the bathroom en-suite, which was rather inconvenient.

Baie rustige aand weg.

Die plekkie is baie oulik ingerig en alles is daar wat nodig is. Die uitsig is pragtig en dis doodstil daar. Die enigste ding wat ek die eienaar sal vra is om na die storte te kyk. Die regulering van die temperatuur sukkel bietjie so of jy brand vreeslik of vries. Verdere is ek baie in my skik oor die plek. Sal definitief weer daar oorbly.

Very peaceful evening away.

The place is very cutely furnished and everything you need is there. The view is beautiful and it's dead quiet there. The only thing I would ask the owner is to look at the showers. The regulation of the temperature is a bit difficult so whether you burn terribly or freeze. Furthermore, I am very satisfied with the place. Will definitely stay there again.

The tranquility of the surroundings makes it easy to just relax and enjoy everything.

We had a great time, but it was awkward to share the bathroom that was in one of the rooms. Also had trouble regulating the heat of the water in the shower.

Ons het oorgebly tydens die Wine 2 Whales fietswedren.

Ons het lekker gebly. Alles was heeltemal voldoende. Die enigste punt wat ek sal aanspreek is die gasgeiser. Daar is wel 'n nota wat aandui dat hulle bewus is van die probleem, maar ek sou voorstel dat hulle die probleem self so spoedig moontlik aanspreek. Desnieteenstaande het ons baie lekker gebly en sal ek dit kan aanbeveel vir ander reisigers.

We stayed during the Wine 2 Whales bike race.

We had a nice stay. Everything was completely adequate. The only point I will address is the gas geyser. There is a note indicating that they are aware of the problem, but I would suggest that they address the problem themselves as soon as possible. Nevertheless, we had a very nice stay and I would be able to recommend it to other travelers.

Value for money / beautiful setting.

It's a shame one cannot use the fireplace because as I walked in I thought: Yay!!! We can have a fire. On departing we did inform the owner that the toilet was blocked up and had to use buckets to disperse the contents, and that the one towel smelled as if it had been dried over a fire/braai. If you are looking for basic accommodation that is what you get.

Netjies en mooi uitsig.

Die huisie is netjies ingerig maar meer geriewe soos byvoorbeeld hout en ekstra beddegoed sal gaaf wees. Daar is slegs 'n tweeplaatstofie, wat onprakties is vir die prys wat hul vra. Die stort is 'n groot probleem met warm en koue water wat nie saam loop nie. Andersins, 'n pragtige uitsig. Ons het lekker geslaap.

The cottage is neatly furnished but more facilities such as wood and extra bedding would be nice. There is only a two-plate stove, which is impractical for the price they charge. The shower is a big problem with hot and cold water not running together. Otherwise, a beautiful view. We slept well.

Teleurstellend.

Die ligging is uitstekend. Pragtige plaas-omgewing. Lieflike uitsig. Wat egter teleurstellend was is die warm water. Eers brand jy en dan raak dit koud nog voor jy klaar seep gesmeer het. Dan wil geiser nie weer aan nie ens. En wie gebruik nog stortgordyne. Vir die prys wat jy moet betaal verwag mens beter. Prys buitensporig hoog vir dit wat jy kry.

Disappointing.

The location is excellent. Beautiful farm setting. Lovely view. However, what was disappointing is the hot water. First you burn and then it gets cold even before you have finished applying soap. Then geyser doesn't want to turn on again etc. And who still uses shower curtains. For the price you have to pay you expect better. Price exorbitantly high for what you get.

Rustig en netjies!

We enjoyed our time at the cottage thoroughly, everything was neat and tidy. We had friendly neighbours in the cottages next door and the friendly farm dogs came to visit us every morning. One thing I would just ask is to maybe leave a box of matches in the cottage so guests can light the lamps! We struggled a bit.

Heerlik en genotvolle ondervinding.

Ons het in die Sally Huisie gebly wat 2 slaapkamers het en dit was 'n heerlike ervaring. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het, was daar en ons het niks kort gekom nie. Iets om ingedagte te hou is dat die badkamer in die kamer met die dubbelbed is. Ek sal beslis weer by Aanhouwen Cottages gaan bly in die toekoms en beveel dit ten sterkte aan.

Rustig en omgewing pragtig.

Opgradering definitief nodig. Plafon in slaapkamer het mufkolle op, deur van badkamer sleep op die grond en maak moeilik toe, wasbakkie in badkamer so klein, met spieël nie bokant wasbak dus maak dit skeer moeilik. Handdoeke dun en al afgeleef en stortgordyn irriterend. TV kanale pateties en onduidelik. Spieël in kamer te hoog om daar voor te sit om hare droog te maak. Geen rakke in hangkas. Andersins was alles skoon en netjies.

Relaxing and beautiful environment.

Some upgrades definitely have to be made. The ceiling in the bedroom has mould on it; the bathroom door grazes the floor and is difficult to close; the basin in the bathroom is too small with the mirror not directly above it which makes shaving quite difficult. Towels are worn and the shower curtain irritating. TV channels are pathetic and unclear. The mirror in the bedroom is too high to sit before to dry your hair. No shelves in the wardrobe. Other than that, clean and neat.

Pragtige wegbreek uit die stad!

Ons was 4 mense wie vir die naweek by Aanhouwen Cottages gebly het. Die plaas is vreeslik mooi en rustig. Die huisies is lekker groot met braaigeriewe ens. Ons was net bietjie teleurgesteld met die kombuis se bedrading, ons krag het getrip na ons die ketel en die stofie wou aansit. Daar was gelukkig ook 'n spaar gasstofie (so dit gebeur dalk gereeld, maar ons was nie gewaarsku nie). Verder was alles wonderlik, een groot avontuur. Ek sal beslis weer teruggaan, en miskien net braai elke aand.

We were 4 people who stayed at Aanhouwen Cottages for the weekend. The farm is very beautiful and peaceful. The houses are nice and big with braai facilities etc. We were just a little disappointed with the kitchen's wiring, our power tripped when we wanted to turn on the kettle and the stove. Luckily there was also a spare gas duster (so it might happen often, but we weren't warned). Other than that, everything was great, one big adventure. I will definitely go back again, and maybe just barbecue every night.

Ons het een aand oorgebly en dit was heerlik.

Ware stilte.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek van die stad. Wakker geword met 'n uitsig oor die berge.

True silence.

It was a lovely break from the city. Woke up to a view of the mountains.

Heerlik rustig.

Ons beveel aan dat aanwysings na die Cottages beter gedoen kan word.

Waarde vir geld, sal terugkom na die plek.

Elgin/Grabouw is normaalweg nie bekend as 'n wynbestemming nie, maar hierdie besoek het bewys dat mense dit gerus so kan beskou - baie interessante wyne met unieke smaak en eienskappe. Een punt van kritiek is dat baie eetplekke ongereeld oop is en baie vroeg middae sluit, uiteet saans is baie moeilik.

Value for money, will come back to the place.

Elgin/Grabouw is not normally known as a wine destination, but this visit proved that people can safely consider it as such - very interesting wines with unique tastes and characteristics. One point of criticism is that many places to eat are open infrequently and close very early in the afternoon, eating out at night is very difficult.

Sleg.

Daar was ou pasta in die yskas. En rommel orals op die plaas, behalwe reg voor die huisies.

Bad.

There was old pasta in the fridge. And rubbish everywhere on the farm, except right in front of the houses.

I apologise sincerely for the pasta that was left in the fridge. It is unacceptable and will not happen again here at Aanhouwen. This is a working farm and I am taken aback to your referral as "rommel". It would have been appreciated if you had called me during your stay of two nights and addressed your unhappiness, we could have settled the matter face to face. I would have refunded your money without any hesitation as I pride myself with open and honest communication. We certainly do not want any of our guests to leave the farm more stressed than when they arrived.

Bespreking se reëlings goed genoeg, maar daar was niemand om ons te ontvang nie.

Daar is 'n groot probleem met water in stort/wasbak, dit verander van warm na koud en mens kan nie die temperatuur reguleer nie. Daar was net 2 klein melkies in die yskas, ek sou dink hulle kan darem 4 melkies insit. Dan sou ek die venster se onderhoud oordoen met Nu-Glaze as ek hulle was, dit skep net 'n beter indruk. Hondjies was vriendelik en lekker om te sien, en die damme vir visvang was great, dalk kon hulle net met trekker die walle skoonsny van hoë bossies en onkruid.

Booking's arrangements good enough, but there was no one to receive us.

There is a big problem with water in shower/sink, it changes from hot to cold and one cannot regulate the temperature. There were only 2 small milkshakes in the fridge, I would think they could put at least 4 milkshakes. Then I would redo the window's maintenance with Nu-Glaze if I washed them, it just creates a better impression. Dogs were friendly and nice to see, and the ponds for fishing were great, maybe they could just use a tractor to clear the banks of tall bushes and weeds.

Thank you for your input.
It would have been greatly appreciated if you would have contacted us upon arrival. Your booking was done at a very late hour upon the day of arrival. Your key was left in the door for your convenience. My husband did walk down to the cottage at 21.30hrs to see if everything was in order but all was dark and quiet. Unfortunately, the water pressure on a farm varies and at times and I must admit there are a few irritations in that respect.
Our animals are as friendly as their owners.
Regarding the un-kept dam walls, we have many bird species on the farm and there are many nests in the shrubbery alongside the dams. To mow there in breading season would be a great sin and that just for us to get to the water easier.
I do apologise that I was not there to meet you, as you noticed, we only have five cottages and unfortunately I was not informed to the time of your arrival.
Regards
