Good value for money. Very neat place to stay, we only stayed one night. Everything we needed was there, very comfortable.

Goeie waarde vir geld. Blyplek wat netjies, ons het net een aand oorgeslaap. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het, was daar, baie gemaklik.

Good day. Thank you for your review. One needs to read the description of the locality of our pool area, which is clearly highlighted on our web page, that informs our guests that we are situated on both sides of the road. Our pool area is located next to our reception area, which is clearly stated! Depending on the number of guests we are accommodating, our cleaning staff is unable to ready all the cottages at once, but we generally have all our cottages serviced before 12 midday each day except on a Sunday. It is an unfortunate fact we have to rely on our service provider to render efficient uninterrupted WiFi service. In this instance, our service provider let us down, and we went without signal for nearly 8 hours. We would like to thank you for choosing Lincoln Cottages for your accommodation needs and look forward to hosting you again in the future. Regards, Lincoln Cottages

Will never stay there again. Photos on the website are old. Definitely not a nice stay. Place is short of maintenance. Not value for money. Is old and bed is not to your liking. Struggled to find a place too. Google takes you to another address.

Sal nooit weer daar Bly Nie. Foto's op die webtuiste is oud. Beslis Nie lekker gebly Nie. Plek Kort Baie maintenance. Nie waarde Vir geld Nie. Is oud en bed is Nie Na wense Nie. Gesukkel Om plek ook te kry. Google vat jou Na n Ander adres.

Generally good. Photos are misleading. Pool showed it was on the same site and was on a different site, couldn't use the pool as thought to keep kids busy. It was very bad. By 11am there was no service in the unit. WiFi was constant problem and completely down by Saturday. WiFi is not a luxury, it's a necessity.

Oor die algemeen goed. Foto's is misleidend. Swembad het gewys dis op dieselfde perseel en was op ander perseel, kon nie die swembad gebruik soos gedink om kids besig te hou. Dit was baie sleg. Teen 11uur was daar geen diens in die eenheid. WiFi was konstante probleem en heeltemal af teen Saterdag. WiFi is nie luuksheid, dis noodsaaklik.

Great location. It was fantastic. Very nice stay. With the loadshedding being a constant issue in South Africa, I would have preferred an alternative to candles. Loadshedding globes or lights would have been great as the candles were quite dim. Also, it would have been nice if the owners would have provided a loadshedding schedule so the guests are aware of the times the lights would be switched off.

Good day Therusha. Thank you for your review, we are happy that you enjoyed your stay with us. We have provided load-shedding lamps in the past, but we are unable to keep up with the replacements of these items due to them constantly being removed when the customer checks out. Thankfully in our area, we are not subject to frequent load shedding, however when the load shedding schedules are published, these at times do not reflect the actual times that we experience load shedding. However, your point is taken, and we will in the future send out load-shedding schedules when these become available. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards Ken and Monica, Lincoln Cottages.

Goeie dag Therusha. Dankie vir jou resensie, ons is bly dat jy jou verblyf by ons geniet het. Ons het in die verlede beurtkrag-lampe verskaf, maar ons kan nie tred hou met die vervangings van hierdie items nie, aangesien dit voortdurend verwyder word wanneer die klant uitklok. Gelukkig is ons in ons area nie onderhewig aan gereelde beurtkrag nie, maar wanneer die beurtkragskedules gepubliseer word, weerspieël dit soms nie die werklike tye wat ons beurtkrag ervaar nie. U punt word egter geneem, en ons sal in die toekoms beurtkragskedules uitstuur wanneer dit beskikbaar word. Ons hoop om jou binnekort weer te sien. Vriendelike groete Ken en Monica, Lincoln Cottages.

We were in PMB for the Midmar Mile. Lincoln Cottages are very affordable, clean and the owners are very friendly. We spent 2 days there, we got our breakfast on time every morning and it was delicious. Check in and check out was quick and easy. We will see them again next year.

Ons was in PMB vir die Midmar Myl. Lincoln Cottages is baie bekostigbaar, skoon en die eienaars is baie vriendelik. Ons het 2 dae daar spandeer, ons het elke oggend ons ontbyt op tyd gekry en dit was heerlik. Inklok en uitklok was vinnig en maklik. Ons sal hulle volgende jaar weer sien.

Neat accommodation. Very neat place with spacious rooms, very good breakfast served in your guest house by very hospitable staff.

Netjiese verblyf. Baie netjiese plek met ruim vertrekke, baie goeie ontbyt wat in jou gastehuis bedien word deur baie gasvrye personeel.

Best guest house we have ever stayed at. Accommodation was comfortable, everything was clean and tidy. Top notch decoration. TV according to my taste available. Meals were delivered according to order in residential unit at specified time. Owner and spouse were always friendly and courteous. Security was more than adequate. No unnecessary rules that made the stay difficult. I can recommend it with the utmost confidence, especially for larger groups. Overseas visitors will really enjoy it and find it particularly affordable. Thanks to the manager and his spouse for exceptional service. Will definitely, if the opportunity presents itself, stay there again.

Beste gastehuis waar ons al ooit tuis gegaan het. Huisvesting was gerieflik, alles was skoon en netjies. Dekorasie uit boonste rakke. TV volgens my smaak beskikbaar. Etes is volgens bestelling in wooneenheid op bepaalde tyd afgelewer. Eienaar en gade was altyd vriendelik en hoflik. Veiligheid was meer as voldoende. Geen onnodige reëls wat verblyf versuur het nie. Ek kan dit met die grootste vertroue aanbeveel, veral vir groter groepe. Oorsese besoekers sal dit baie geniet en besonders bekostigbaar vind. Dankie aan die bestuurder en sy gade vir uitsonderlike diens. Sal beslis, as die geleentheid hom voordoen, weer daar tuisgaan.
