Lovely, peaceful and quiet. Had a very nice stay, the area is very beautiful and there are many attractions in the area. Very close to Bontebok Park and De Hoop Nature Reserve, can also go across the Malgas ferry.

Heerlik, rustig en stil. Het baie lekker gebly, die omgewing is baie mooi en daar is heelwat besienswaardighede in die omgewing. Baie naby aan Bontebok Park en De Hoop Natuurreservaat, kan ook oor die Malgas pont gaan vaar.

Fantastic, peaceful and safe. Very nice stay, nature, animals, clean air, neat unit, comfortable bed. A place where you can really find rest for your soul if you are tired of city life.

Fantasties, rustig en veilig. Baie lekker gekuier, die natuur, diere, skoon lug, netjiese eenheid, gemaklike bed. 'n Plek waar jy regtig rus vir jou siel kry as jy moeg is vir die lewe in die stad.

Relaxing getaway with room for improvement. My husband and I were really looking forward to escaping the city for a few days with our dogs to relax and recharge. We specifically wanted dog-friendly accommodation with a securely fenced boundary, allowing our dogs to roam freely without the risk of them wandering off. After some difficulty finding somewhere suitable, Aloe Cottage appeared to offer exactly what we were looking for. We are not particularly demanding guests and do not expect luxury, but we did expect a greater level of care and attention to detail. While we were perfectly happy to be without a television or Wi-Fi, we were surprised that no basic provisions such as milk, coffee, salt, or pepper were provided. There was an ample supply of toilet paper and two bath towels; however, the towels were quite worn and shabby. There was also no hand towel or soap provided. In addition, Aloe Cottage is advertised as having a queen-size bed, but the bed was in fact a double. We also felt that the photographs of the property do not accurately reflect its surroundings. As it is situated on a working farm, there was regular activity from staff, as well as tractors and bakkies travelling up and down throughout the day, which was not apparent from the listing.

Safe, tanquil and pleasant. Stay was fine. Maybe the wrong time of the year to go as the farmers had just planted and therefore the landscape is very barren. Not any fault on the accommodation. . Very tranquil. Some of the appliances require upgrading. Lovely place to spend a quiet weekend.

Peaceful, relaxing, and enjoyable. It was a lovely, peaceful stay and we enjoyed it very much. The house just wasn't very clean and the photos are deceptive.

Not pleasant. Thank you for hosting us. I wanted to share some honest feedback about our stay. Unfortunately, the experience was not very pleasant and felt extremely basic for what was advertised. There were an excessive number of flies, which made it uncomfortable to relax. In addition, there were no basic essentials provided, such as salt and pepper, firewood, or even soap in the bathroom, which we would normally expect at self-catering accommodation. I believe this feedback is important so that future guests can have a better experience.
