Stilte vir jou siel.

Ons is hartlik ontvang. Die verblyf is smaaklik en gerieflik ingerig met alles wat benodig word. Veral die kaggel was 'n wenner. Die uitsig op die berge was pragtig.

Silence for your soul.

We were warmly received. The accommodation is tastefully and comfortably furnished with everything needed. The fireplace in particular was a winner. The view of the mountains was beautiful.

Naweek wegbreek

Die gasvrou was baie gaaf en het ons alle inligting oor die verblyf verskaf. Die huis is heerlik ingerig met top gehalte meubels, beddegoed en handdoeke. Daar is alles wat nodig is vir 'n lekker stil en rustige wegkom uit die stad. Die buitetafels het selfs mooi tafeldoeke op gehad. Die groot stoep met hangmatte is beslis 'n wenner en die tieners het hul daar tuis gemaak. As die weer beter was sou ons ook lekker by die buite vuurmaakplek kon braai en sterrekyk. Die kaggel is ook heerlik. Daar is ook lekker dinge om te doen in die omgewing. My enigste kwelling is dat ons nie verwag het dat daar nog 'n huis so na aan die cottage is, waar die gasvrou se broer bly nie. Hulle is baie gaaf, maar ons kon letterlik heel Saterdag hul keuse van musiek saam luister, terwyl ons eerder graag die voëls en stilte sou wou hoor. Hul het ook 'n dierbare hond wat heel naweek by ons gekuier het. Die kinders was mal oor hom, maar indien jy jou eie honde saambring, wees bewus dat jy nog 'n permanente viervoet op die werf sal hê.

Weekend getaway

The hostess was very nice and provided us with all information about the accommodation. The house is beautifully furnished with top quality furniture, bedding and towels. There is everything you need for a quiet and peaceful escape from the city. The outside tables even had nice tablecloths on them. The large porch with hammocks is definitely a winner and the teenagers made themselves at home there. If the weather had been better, we could also have a nice barbecue by the outdoor fire place and stargaze. The fireplace is also lovely. There are also fun things to do in the area. My only gripe is that we didn't expect there to be another house so close to the cottage, where the hostess's brother lives. They are very nice, but we could literally listen to their choice of music together all Saturday, when we would rather hear the birds and silence. They also have a dear dog who visited us all weekend. The kids loved him, but if you bring your own dogs, be aware that you will still have a permanent four-legged friend on site.

HoneyDew Cottage 's response

Dankie vir die tervoer Nerien. Ek waardeur dit baie.
Dit was ons plesier om julle hier te hê. Net jammer oor die reën wat so aanhoudent geval het vir julle tyd hier.
Ons vra groot verskooning oor die musik. My broer het nie besef dat julle dit kon hoor nie. Dit is nie gewoonds nie.
Scruffy is deel van ons plaas "familie" en dink dat almal vir hom kom kuier. Hy is heel vriendelik met mense en honde maar as hy pla gaan hy maar huis toe as hy gesê is. Vriendelike troeteldiere is ook mees welkom om saam met hulle mense te kom bly.

Mountain and farm peacefulness.

We had a fantastic three-night stay at Honeydew. Google Maps is misleading as it takes you to a premature dirt road right, but follow the directions from Doreen and you'll be fine. Montague has a lovely bakery and Saturday morning market by the NGK.

Wat 'n lieflike plek! Perfek vir 'n wegbreek waar mens net wil afskakel.

Die kothuis beskik oor als wat mens nodig het. Dis perfek geleë vir iemand wat net wil skakel met die natuur. Lieflike staproetes en wonderlike gasrvou, Doreen, wat mens baie gemaklik laat voel. Perfek vir honde.

Ons het gekom om stilte te hê, maar het stilte en vrede gekry. Dit was wonderlik!

Dit was een van die heel mooiste plekke waar ons nog ooit gebly het. Alles was perfek en skoon, gerieflik en baie slim beplan! Ons gaan beslis weer en beveel HoneyDew Cottage sterk aan! Die beste was geen TV en selfoonsein, so ons kon regtig afskakel!

We came to have silence, but got silence and peace. It was great!

It was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. Everything was perfect and clean, comfortable and very smartly planned! We would definitely go again and highly recommend HoneyDew Cottage! The best was no TV and cell phone signal so we could really switch off!

Connected to nature.

Out of the city, disconnected from everything and connecting to nature and complete solace was everything we needed and more. Well-equipped cottage with ample space inside and out.

Ontspannende wegbreek in 'n oulike huis.

Honey Dew Cottage is goed ingerig met 'n heerlike kaggel en vereduvets vir die koue wintersnagte. Lieflike voorstoep met uitsig oor die berge en 2 hangmatte is n bonus. Veilige fietsry en speelplek vir klein kinders.

Heerlike, rustige wegbreeknaweek.

Ons het so lekker op die stoep gekuier, boek gelees, sudoku's ingevul en sommer net vir die dassies gesit en kyk. Die kaggel maak die hele huisie heerlik warm in die koue winteraande. Ons gasvrou het ons so welkom laat voel met haar inloer en heerlike muffins. Voorwaar 'n plekkie om te besoek!

Lovely, peaceful getaway weekend.

We had so much fun hanging out on the stoep, reading a book, completing sudokus and just sitting and watching the ties. The fireplace makes the whole house wonderfully warm in the cold winter evenings. Our hostess made us feel so welcome with her visit and delicious muffins. Truly a place to visit!

Heerlike kuier noord van Langeberge.

Nadat ons baie keer vantevore die Burgerspas gery het, het ons vir die eerste keer na aan sy voet in die Keisievallei oorgebly. Dit is 'n pragtige area (veral na die afgelope tyd se reën) en die uitsig op die Langeberge verruklik. Ons het die huisie met sy fasiliteite baie geniet. Dit steeds redelik nuut en die stoep met sy hangmatte en "lekker-kuier-tafel" is goed benut. Die kinders het ook heerlik op die grasperk voor die huis gespeel.

Lovely visit north of Langeberge.

After riding the Burgers Pass many times before, we stayed close to its foot in the Keisie Valley for the first time. It is a beautiful area (especially after the recent rain) and the view of the Langeberge is delightful. We really enjoyed the cottage with its facilities. It's still fairly new and the porch with its hammocks and "nice hangout table" is well used. The children also had a great time playing on the lawn in front of the house.

Wonderful and quiet farm stay.

The farm is very quiet with lots of dirt roads to walk along and take in nature. The nature view from the stoep is beautiful. The cottage is a lot nicer than in the photos. It is bure bliss to lie in the hammock and appreciate the peace and quiet in the nature.
