Very nice stay, everything was just perfect, even better than in the photos. A very pleasant experience at Merino Cottage. The facilities were even better than in the photos and the starry sky entertained us for a long time. We will be back!

Baie lekker gebly, alles net perfek, nog beter as op die fotos. 'n Baie aangename ervaring by Merino Cottage. Die geriewe was selfs beter as op die fotos en die sterrehemel het ons baie lank vermaak. Ons sal al weer terugkeer!

Elegance in the Karoo. Nina is an attentive host, placing care and consideration in every detail from the fresh flowers to Charlotte Rhys toiletries. Treat yourself to Nina’s breakfast on the veranda whilst watching the Springbok and go on a walk through the farm at sunset.

Outstanding. I travel quite often and always try to stay somewhere in the countryside on a farm. Merino Cottage is hands down the best place I have ever stayed. The cottage is very clean and stylish. It is excellent value for money and I would recommend it to anyone. Nina was an excellent hostess and you can see her hand in everything. The place is excellently equipped and you don't need anything more than that.

Uitstekend. Ek reis redelik gereeld en probeer altyd erens in die platteland op 'n plaas bly. Merino Cottage is loshandig die beste plek waarin ek ooit gebly het. Die kothuis is baie skoon en stylvol. Dit is uitstekende waarde vir geld en ek sal dit aan enige iemand aanbeveel. Nina was 'n uitstekende gasvrou en mens kan haar hand in alles sien. Die plek is uitstekend toegerus en mens het niks meer as dit nodig nie.

Will stay there again. Beautiful place with good facilities and a delicious braai patio.

Sal weer daar gaan bly. Pragtige plek met goeie geriewe en heerlike braaistoep.

Fantastic. The owner goes to incredible lengths. Her homemade pastries were part of our welcome. The tranquility of the farm is a welcome bonus. The modern accommodation is very neat and clean with fresh flowers everywhere.

Fantasties. Die eienaar doen ongelooflik baie moeite. Haar tuisgebak was deel van ons verwelkoming. Die rustigheid van die plaas is 'n welkome bonus. Die moderne akkommodasie is baie netjies en skoon met vars blomme oral.

So beautiful! Gorgeous setting - loved our overnight stay! What a fantastic home away from home. Beautiful cottage; wonderfully decorated. Attention to detail! Unfortunately, only stayed one night - absolutely loved the tranquility of a farm stay!

Overnight for a tired body. We had a wonderful stay. The hospitality, friendliness and nothing is out of their reach. Nina is there to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The silence with the bleating of sheep in the distance brings so much peace to one's soul. I will stay there again if our travels pass there. Thank you very much, Nina, for the sweets, you are truly an excellent hostess.

Oornag vir 'n moeg lyf. Ons het heerlik gebly. Die gasvryheid, vriendelikheid en niks wat verkeerd staan vir hul hande nie. Nina is daar om jou verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Die stilte met gebler van skape in die verte, bring soveel rustigheid in 'n mens se siel. Ek sal weer daar oorbly as ons reise daar verbygaan. Baie dankie, Nina, vir die soetgoed, jy is voorwaar 'n voortreflike gasvrou.

Stay was too short. We stayed two nights on our way to the Cape. We could have stayed much longer. The unspoilt nature, tranquility, quality of the equipment and accommodation, but especially the hospitality, make us definitely come back.

Verblyf was te kort. Ons het twee aande oorgeslaap onderweg op ons reis Kaap toe. Ons kon baie langer bly. Die opgeruimde natuur, rustigheid, kwaliteit van die toerusting en woonplek, maar veral die gasvryheid, maak dat ons beslis sal terugkom.

Treat yourself! Merino Cottage is gorgeous! Beautifully sized bedrooms with big beds and lovely bedding. A fully equipped kitchen, fabulous outside sitting and braai area with views of the incredible landscape and Springbok. Every little aspect has been thought of right down to homemade rusks, beautifully smelling freshly cut roses in every room, fresh milk in the fridge and a special cupboard in the kitchen by the sink to place your dirty dishes in because "nobody should wash dishes on holiday" according to Nina, our welcoming host.

The kind of place that is difficult to leave. Highly recommended. Exceptional. A beautiful, well-appointed cottage in a peaceful setting. Ideal place to stop and recharge when travelling long distances. Nina's biscuits and rusks are delectable and in generous supply. Friendly owners welcome you on arrival.
