Things you need to recharge your batteries. Very nice cottage. The best getaway spot. Bliss. Wonderful silence. Lots of fresh air. Drink sweet water from a fountain. All the necessary amenities are at hand. Slept well on the perfect comfortable bed. Guavas were plentiful and two ideal braai spots.

Pressies wat mens nodig het om weer batterye te laai. Baie lekker kothuis. Die beste wegbreek plekkie. Saligheid. Heerlike stilte. Baie vars lug. Drink soet water vanuit 'n fontein. Al die nodige geriewe is byderhand. Het lekker geslaap op die perfekte gerieflike bed. Koejawels was volop en twee ideale braaiplekke.

Rest for the soul. If you are looking for peace and quiet to get away from all the noise and hustle and bustle, this is definitely the place. My wife and I definitely enjoyed it.

Rus vir die siel. As jy stilte soek om weg te kom van al die geraas en gejaag, is dit beslis die plek. Ek en my vrou het dit beslis geniet.

A beautiful connecting stay. Our stay was very nice. We had a wonderful time. Kathy was lovely and super helpful. The cottage was clean and neat and had everything you needed. Plenty of towels as well. The stars at night were amazing and it was very peaceful and quiet. We never made use of the hot tub as it was super hot. I would suggest maybe an extra fan as the air con, while lovely in the room, doesn't quite cool down the front section.

The peaceful atmosphere, the comfortable cottage and the remote location were wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Die rustige atmosfeer, die gemaklike huisie en die afgeleë plek was heerlik. Ons het dit terdeë geniet.

Good drinking water, close to town, short gravel road. Host available by telephone. Be warned, you have to provide your own wood. There was some for the first night. The ants are very annoying. Close all food tightly. There were ants even in the bed. Doom was provided. Host friendly and helpful. Thank you, had a great time.

Lekker drinkwater, naby die dorp, kort grondpad. Gasheer telefonies beskikbaar. Wees gewaarsku, jy moet jou eie hout voorsien. Daar was wel 'n bietjie vir die eerste aand. Die miere is baie lastig. Maak alle kos dig toe. Daar was tot in die bed miere. Daar is wel Doom voorsien. Gasheer vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dankie, lekker gekuier.

Thank you Matty for your review. We provide a milk crate of wood for all guests and also mention this in our communication with all guests. It is currently very dry in the Western Cape, so the animals and ants are all thirsty and therefore we request guests, as per our communication, to keep food covered and close windows at night when the lights are on. Fortunately, the air conditioning helps a lot. As mentioned, you can open the windows again when you turn off the lights at night. It is the best thing about staying on a farm. Regards, Die Kuejawelhuisie.

Dankie Matty vir jou resensie. Ons voorsien 'n melkkrat hout vir alle gaste en noem dit ook in ons kommunikasie met alle gaste. Dit is huidiglik baie droog in die Wes-Kaap, so die diere en miere is almal dors en daarom versoek ons gaste, soos per ons kommunikasie, om kos toe te hou en vensters toe te maak saans as die ligte aan is. Die lugverkoeling help gelukkig baie. Soos genoem kan julle vensters weer oopmaak as julle ligte afsit saans. Dis die lekkerste van bly op 'n plaas. Groete, Die Koejawelhuisie.

Rustic getaway. Very quiet and rustic. Due to the heat, I made use of the unheated hot tub to cool down! Basics are provided and the cottage was very clean.

Beautiful place. Needs a little attention. More suitable for couples than families. The guava house is beautiful inside with everything you might need. The fridge with freezer compartment is very small, so don't bring too much food. The fireplace doesn't draw well, and the first night the house was full of smoke within minutes. We didn't try again. There is basically no signal - important to know. Especially because in today's times you feel a bit scared without the ability to call for help if needed. It's not ideal for a family or with small children. I would say ideal for a couple, because it's quite small. The Kolkol hot tub is lovely. We won't be back anytime soon, but there are certainly people for whom it would be heavenly.

Pragtige plekkie. Kort bietjie aandag. Meer geskik vir paartjies as vir gesinne. Die koejawelhuisie is pragtig binne met als wat jy mag nodig kry. Die yskassie met vrieshokkie is baie klein, so moenie te veel kos bring nie. Die kaggel trek nie goed nie, en die eerste aand was die huisie binne minute vol rook. Ons het nie weer probeer nie. Daar is basies geen sein - belangrik om te weet. Veral omdat mens in vandag se tye maar skrikkerig voel sonder die vermoë om te kan bel vir hulp indien nodig. Dis nie ideaal vir 'n gesin of met klein kindertjies nie. Ek sal sê ideaal vir 'n paartjie, want dis nogal klein. Die Kolkol warmbad is lieflik. Ons sal nie vinnig weer kom nie, maar seker daar is mense vir wie dit hemels sal wees.

Thank you very much for your feedback and for staying at Die Kuejawelhuisie. We truly appreciate it. We are sorry that your stay did not quite meet your expectations. The cottage has recently been renovated with new amenities and linens, and we are constantly working to keep it neat and comfortable for our guests. Regarding the fireplace, no one has ever experienced any problems with the draft. When the fire is made in the center of the fireplace, it draws very well, and we are happy to help guests if they are unsure. There is cell phone signal at the cottage, but no WiFi, as indicated in our advertisement. The cottage is advertised with a double bed in the main bedroom and two single beds (one is a pull-out bed), which is suitable for two children. We are glad you enjoyed the KolKol hot tub and appreciate your feedback. We wish you all the best.

Baie dankie vir julle terugvoer en dat julle by Die Koejawelhuisie gebly het. Ons waardeer dit opreg. Ons is jammer dat julle verblyf nie heeltemal aan julle verwagtinge voldoen het nie. Die huisie is onlangs opgeknap met nuwe geriewe en linne, en ons werk voortdurend daaraan om dit netjies en gerieflik vir ons gaste te hou. Wat die kaggel betref, het nog niemand voorheen probleme met die trek daarvan ondervind nie. Wanneer die vuur in die middel van die kaggel gemaak word, trek dit baie goed, en ons help gaste graag indien hulle onseker is. Daar is selfoonsein by die huisie, maar geen WiFi nie, soos in ons advertensie aangedui. Die huisie word geadverteer met 'n dubbelbed in die hoofslaapkamer en twee enkelbeddens (een is 'n uittrekbed), wat geskik is vir twee kinders. Ons is bly julle het die KolKol-warmbad geniet en waardeer julle terugvoer. Ons wens julle alles van die beste toe.

Fantastic. The place is very nice, quiet and peaceful, close to town. Had a great stay there.

Fantasties. Die plek is baie lekker, stil en rustig, naby aan dorp. Baie lekker daar gebly.
