We wanted a comfortable place to overnight on the way back from Citrusdal, and Meraki Cottage was perfect for what we needed. We really enjoyed staying at Meraki. Wish we could have stayed longer. Beautiful view of mountains and very peaceful. Perfect getaway for peace and quiet. Well stocked with all that is needed. For those with a farming background - you will love it! We noticed on our way out that it is so close to the Cango Caves, Wilgewandel and Crocodile Farm, so a good place to stay if you want to explore the surrounds.

Fantastic. This place is so genuinely old farmhouse and delightful, that I want to not tell anyone else about it so I can keep it for myself. I'll be back.

Rustige atmosfeer in skadu van Swartberge, historiese karakter van huis riem onder die hart. Werkende plaas, gunstig geleë vir Prince Albert-, De Rust- en Calitzdorp-omgewing. Die Matjesrivier- en Kruidrivier-omgewings is asemrowend mooi. Die gasheer/-vrou se vriendelikheid en voorbereiding was puik ervaring.

Perfect place to relax and unwind. Had a fantastic 3 nights at Meraki Cottage and it was exactly what we wanted, so amazingly peaceful and with beautiful views. A perfect location to explore the Swartberg Pass area. The house is rustic as advertised, but very comfortable. My only comment would be the need for more pots in the kitchen and some upkeep on various taps, as a few were loose and wobbly.

Rus, stilte en pret! Ons het heerlik gebly in hierdie ou plaashuis met die dik mure wat die koue uithou! Alles wat jy benodig is daar, met oulike ekstras wat die kinders lekker besig gehou het!

Perfectly remote. Great spot to unwind, and access the region. Rudimentary as expected.

So bad we could not stay. When we arrived at Meraki, having prepaid in full, we found the accommodation so wanting that we did not stay. It was dark, old, very tired looking and lacked every kind of mod-con. If I could only use one word it would've been 'sleazy'.

Breathtaking view, old world charm. The family loved staying at this venue. It's so well located and the view to the top of the Swartberg Pass is incredible.

Heerlik gekuier. Was ongelukkig slegs vir 1 nag, maar gaan definitief weer. Meraki Cottage het 'n prgatige ou-huis gevoel wat pragtig herstel en opgradeer is. Baie mooi hout- en binne-afwerkings. Dit is 'n heerlike basis om die Oudsthoorn omgewing vandaan te verken. Baie mooi berguitsig. Die verblyf is baie goeie waarde vir geld. Genoeg komberse en warm beddegoed vir die koudste winternagte.
