Quite place good for recharge. The place was neat and clean, but I didn't enjoy sleeping with your linens. I couldn't stand the smell.

Hi Margaret. Thanks for the review and your honesty. We are not sure what you mean with the smell of the linen as we very diligently replace all linen after every stay with clean linen. We would appreciate it if you could elaborate a bit on this so we can understand exactly what the issue is to improve on. Perhaps the softener we use is a scent you don't like?

I will definitely book again. The cabin is beautiful and clean and cosy. I loved it there, worth another visit. The host was very kind. I felt safe. Beautiful place to chill outside and watch the stars. The sunset is amazing there.

Great decor and crisp bed sheets. My stay at Balloon View Country Cottage was very nice. I enjoyed my stay there. The viewing of the hot air balloon was out of this world.

Nice stay Had a lovely stay and the hosts were lovely. Even arranged a quad bike ride for us. The only issue is that the address provided didn't take us to the property and we had to scramble for the host's numbers so they could give us the correct pin location some distance away. It gets really cold at night.

Hi Mahlatse. Thanks for the great review. Yes, it does get quite cold here, which is why we supply our guests with electric blankets and gas heaters in the winter. We are happy to report that the issue with Google Maps is now sorted after we submitted the route corrections. We usually WhatsApp our guests with directions, pin location, and check-in details a few days before arrival. We will find out if this was an omission from our side.

Would love to book again, hopefully the area's sewage will be sorted. It was a wonderful weekend in the Balloon View Country Cottage, everything was nice and clean inside and out. Being able to see the hot air balloons so close was amazing. Would have liked to see the management when we left but they were not available, maybe just busy with something else. There was unfortunately a sewage smell every night around 18H00, not locally but from further away. It gets so bad that one cannot be outside nor open windows. This is surely the municipality that needs to improve infrastructure in the area.

Sou graag weer wil bespreek, hopelik sal die omgewing se riool uitgesorteer wees. Dit was 'n wonderlike naweek in die Balloon View Country Cottage, alles was mooi skoon en netjies binne en buite. Om die lugballonne so naby te kon sien, was wonderlik. Sou graag die bestuur wou sien toe ons verlaat het, maar hulle was nie beskikbaar nie, dalk net besig met iets anders. Daar was ongelukkig 'n rioolreuk elke aand so teen 18H00, nie lokaal nie maar van verder weg. Dit raak so erg dat 'n mens nie buite kan wees nie en ook nie vensters kan oopmaak nie. Hierdie is sekerlik die munisipaliteit wat infrastruktuur moet verbeter in die omgewing.

Dear Hannes, Thank you very much for your 4.6/5 feedback and for the kind words about Balloon View Country Cottage. We are happy to hear that everything was clean and tidy and that you enjoyed seeing the hot air balloons so close — it remains something special. We also take note of the smell you are referring to. This is not a local sewage problem, but something that is usually caused by agricultural activities in the area, where natural compost is incorporated into the fields. Fortunately, this only happens a few times a year and is usually short-lived. However, we understand that it can be unpleasant when it does occur. It is also a pity that we were not able to greet each other in person upon departure — we always try to be available, but may have just been busy at that moment. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope to welcome you again for another weekend, hopefully under perfect conditions. Kind regards, Magalies River Country Retreat Team

Beste Hannes, Baie dankie vir julle 4.6/5 terugvoer en vir die mooi woorde oor Balloon View Country Cottage. Ons is bly om te hoor dat alles skoon en netjies was en dat julle dit geniet het om die lugballonne so naby te sien — dit bly iets besonders. Ons neem ook kennis van die reuk waarna julle verwys. Dit is nie ’n plaaslike rioolprobleem nie, maar iets wat gewoonlik veroorsaak word deur landbou-aktiwiteite in die omgewing, waar natuurlike kompos in lande ingewerk word. Dit gebeur gelukkig net ’n paar keer per jaar en is gewoonlik van korte duur. Ons verstaan egter dat dit onaangenaam kan wees wanneer dit wel voorkom. Jammer ook dat ons mekaar nie persoonlik kon groet met vertrek nie — ons probeer altyd beskikbaar wees, maar was moontlik net op daardie oomblik besig. Ons waardeer julle eerlike terugvoer en hoop om julle weer te verwelkom vir ’n volgende naweek, hopelik onder perfekte omstandighede. Vriendelike groete, Magalies River Country Retreat Team
