Peaceful, relaxing and fun!

Thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing stay at Sugarlands Cottage. We were able to watch the rugby and braai. The view is awesome and there are lovely restaurants and coffee shops nearby! It was a perfect little getaway for my fiancé and me.

Baie aangenaam.

Kate is 'n baie aangename gasvrou, baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het die plaasgeluide en die dam net so baie geniet. Sal die mooi skoon plekkie aanbeveel.

The unit had everything you needed, clean sheets and toilets. Nothing to complain about. The birds in the dam were awesome, darters, greater grebes, and dabchicks, as well as red-knobbed coots, and we shall not forget the owls. Brilliant!

Peaceful and private. We just loved staying at Sugarlands Cottage and we can't wait to be back.

The most peaceful stay we have had. The bass dam is but a stone's throw away from the front door. The cottage is spacious and clean and had everything we needed. Our host Kate was so friendly and accommodating. There are some lovely coffee shops nearby too. We can't wait to go back.

Fantasties.

Kate het al vroeg die oggend wat ons moes inboek, kontak gemaak om te laat weet ons kan enige tyd kan inboek. Kaart gestuur van hoe om te ry met die pad wat toe is. Het ook haarself kom voorstel en vir ons gestuur presies wanneer die krag gaan af wees.

Beslis 'n wenner slaapplek, goeie waarde!

Gasvrou Kate het voor ons aankoms geskakel om te verneem hoe laat ons sal arriveer. Plek was baie goed toegerus, uiters skoon en netjies. Kaggel met hout en vuuraanstekers, genoeg melk, tee en koffie vir Afrika, gasstoof ingeval van beurtkrag, mooi uitsig oor dam. Groot stort met warm water, gemaklike bed met kwaliteitmatras. Die kothuis is veilig en die omgewing is goed vir die siel. rustig en veilig. Ons was persoonlik verwelkom en is daar weg met 'n gewaardeerde geskenk van blomkool en brokkoli wat op die plaas verbou word. Ons sal beslis weer van Sugarlands Cottage gebruik maak.

Definitely a winner to sleep in, great value!

Hostess Kate called before our arrival to find out what time we would arrive. Place was very well equipped, extremely clean and tidy. Fireplace with wood and fire lighters, enough milk, tea and coffee for Africa, gas stove in case of load shedding, nice view of pond. Large shower with hot water, comfortable bed with quality mattress. The cottage is safe and the environment is good for the soul. calm and safe. We were personally welcomed and left with an appreciated gift of cauliflower and broccoli grown on the farm. We will definitely use Sugarlands Cottage again.

Idilliese plaaswegkruipplekkie on die Natalse Middellande.

Ons het net 'n baie kort een-nag oorslaap by Sugarlands Cottage gehad maar dit was idillies mooi met al die geriewe wat ons nodig gehad het, selfs in beurtkragtyd. Heerlike kaggel en verwarmers vir die koue winterdae en aande, kokend warm water in geysers, pragtige uitsig oor dam, rustige plaaslewe met skape. Kate was 'n perfekte gasvrou.

Idyllic farm hideaway in the Natal midlands.

We only had a very short one-night stay at Sugarlands Cottage but it was idyllically beautiful with all the facilities we needed, even at peak times. Lovely fireplace and heaters for the cold winter days and evenings, boiling hot water in geysers, beautiful view of pond, peaceful farm life with sheep. Kate was a perfect hostess.

Sal Sugarlands Cottage enige dag aanbeveel. Kate het uit haar pad gegaan om ons te akkomodeer toe ons laat die aand eers kon inklok. Die kothuis bevat alles wat mens nodig het om gemaklik te kan oornag. Kothuis is ook skoon en netjies.

Die huisie is gerieflik ingerig en die uitsig op die dam pragtig. Ons is vermaak met voëlgesang en 'n paddakoor. Lekker plaasatmosfeer met diere om jou en baie naby aan lekker eetplekkies. Ons het regtig die 2 dae daar baie geniet.

Heerlike kuier met die mooiste uitsig.

Ons het werklik ons kuier by Sugarlands Cottage geniet. Dit is so vreedsaam daar, met die mooiste uitsig van die stoepie af. Ongelukkig het ons net oornag op pad terug Noord Wes toe, maar ek glo 'n paar dae se kuier daar sal beslis jou batterye weer herlaai. Die Cottage is volledig toegerus, heerlik snoesig en huislik. Kate is baie vriendelik. Ek kan beslis Sugarlands Cottage aanbeveel.

Slow down at this beautiful, tranquil farm cottage on a dam, ideal for a break from that busy life.

The sounds of the birds, of water lapping, of sheep baaing and tractors grinding. The sound of peace. I loved this farm cottage on the Curry's Post road, with views over the Karkloof. A central base for the KZN Midlands, easy to access and secure. A TV for company, fire for warmth and a dam to cool off in. What more could one wish for? Good price and friendly hosts!
