Perfect sleepover.
Perfect place to sleep. The only problem is that you need more than one day because there is so much to do and see.

Beautiful, comfortable cottage located on a very beautiful farm with an old-world atmosphere.
The host and wife, Greg and Fiona, went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. Here you can really get away from the city's hustle and bustle and experience tranquility.

Fantastically delicious.
Thank you so much Alison for you and your husband's hospitality. It was wonderful to be able to experience your wonderful farm. The sheep and the greenery around us were so nice for our 2 farm children. The walk to the ponds was so refreshing. Our little house was so beautiful and cozy with all the antique furniture. We had a nice barbecue and the bird life was so nice to hear. Thank you for your beautiful garden. Your beautiful 200 year old house and the pool. It was nice and refreshing to be able to cool off in the nice water after our walk. Thank you very much again.

Highly recommended.
Glen Avon is an ideal destination in every way. The hostess (Alison) bent over backwards to be helpful. The Cottage is very nicely laid out to provide modern facilities in an old building. The WiFi was a bonus, as cell phone reception is spotty.

Die atmosfeer van die plek word bederf deur die aantal vlieë.

Translate to English.
The atmosphere of the place is spoiled by the number of flies.
Considering that this is a working farm, a can of fly poison has been provided, but still the flies are not under control. The water supply to the second shower is not sustainable.

Cozy and beautiful.
We visited there as a family and celebrated an 80th birthday. We had a good time and slept warm. Just expected houses to be serviced next morning and it didn't happen - otherwise we had a nice stay.

An experience.
The farm has so much to see and appreciate. It is such a historic farm with many interesting things to see. We will definitely visit Glen Avon again, but this time stay a minimum of 2 nights so that there is time to see and do everything. The people are very pleasant and helpful. It was just a pleasure to be there.
