A few days of magic! Magical. A slice of heaven on a hill. Joel is the perfect host and his little off the grid cabin is everything and more. Gorgeous braai area overlooking the Swartberg, magnificent mountain water pool and glorious outdoor bathroom. Be sure to hike up the mountain to appreciate where you are, enjoy the swing while game spotting, fill your glass with the amazing tap water and climb the small hill to watch the sunset. Superb!

The Cottage is so unique, we are already making plans for our next visit. What a wonderful, jewel-like place to come back to life in the breathtaking scenery and view of the majestic mountains. We literally and figuratively came back to life here. The Cottage is truly an ideal getaway to reorganize your thoughts. The original ideas and cleanliness of the Cottage are certainly due to the warm host, who welcomes you with a warm and firm handshake.

Die Cottage is so uniek, ons maak alreeds weer planne vir ons volgende besoek. Wat 'n wonderlike, juweelplek om weer tot verhaal te kom in die asemrowende natuurskoon en uitsig op die majestueuse berge. Ons het letterlik en figuurlik tot verhaal gekom hier. Die Cottage is werklik 'n ideale wegbreekplek om weer jou gedagtes te orden. Die oorspronklike idees en netheid van die Cottage is beslis te danke aan die hartlike gasheer, wat 'n mens verwelkom met 'n hartlike en stywe handdruk.

Wonderful "off the grid" experience. Very nice stay. Called once a day to see if everything was okay. Was very hospitable and we had everything we needed to enjoy a nice break.

Heerlike "off the grid" ervaring. Baie lekker gebly. Het een maal per dag gebel om te hoor of alles reg is. Was baie gasvry en ons het alles gehad wat nodig was om 'n lekker ruskans te geniet.

Surrounded by nature. This place is not just a place to sleep - it is an experience you will remember for a long time. Joel is very hospitable and happy to help ensure that you land safely and knows how everything works at the cottage. The surroundings and view from the stoep are incredibly beautiful. We sat here for hours staring and relaxing. The thunderstorm in the night was not relaxing, but the fantastic smell of the wet field made up for the little stress. Mind you, you are in the wild, take insect repellent with you.

Omring deur die natuur. Hierdie plek is nie net 'n oorslaapplek nie - dit is 'n ervaring wat jy lank sal onthou. Joel is baie gasvry en help graag om te sorg dat jy veilig aanland en weet hoe alles werk by die huisie. Die omgewing en uitsig vanaf die stoep is ongelooflik mooi. Ons het ure hier gesit en gestaar en heerlik ontspan. Die donderstorm in die nag was wel nie ontspannend nie, maar die fantastiese reuk van die nat veld het opgemaak vir die bietjie stres. Let wel, jy is in die wilde natuur, neem maar insekafweerder saam.

Groen verblyf, vriendelik, stil, rus. Ongelooflike uitsig, ligging, stilte en vriendelike gasheer. Super omgewingsvriendelik.

You can't get closer to nature. Fantastic 'off the grid' weekend close to nature. Blissful and refreshingly close to nature. Beautiful view.

Nader aan die natuur kan jy nie kom nie. Fantastiese 'off the grid' naweek naby die natuur. Salig en verfrissend naby aan die natuur. Pragtige uitsig.

Ultimate getaway! Joel's Cottage truly is a hidden gem on the most beautiful hillside. The views are beautiful and the attention to detail in the cottage is of very high quality. Everything you would need is in the well-equipped kitchen. The pool and outside bathroom are magnificent. We'll be back soon!
