Cozy place to stay with the cold outside.
Nice place to stay and has all the amenities you would expect. A fence to keep out the neighborhood kids would have been better, but I am also aware that security is not a big issue in Sutherland.

Thank you for your positive review and support! Loadshedding is definitely a challenge, but atleast we have "backup" light bulps fitted for the evenings, should loadshedding occur. Your comment duly noted for a gas-plate, but we have removed all gas appliances for safety reasons. Hopefully next time you will have clear skies!

Very nice and peaceful.
It's our second time at Artists Cottage and everything is well furnished and tidy. The master bedroom has a heater and electric blankets, which help a lot in the cold. The double volume sitting/dining room (without a ceiling) means you need a big fire to warm it up.

Had a great time. Well equipped.
The brochure in the cottage did not provide information about where reservations were needed, and SALT also had to be booked on the internet which is not mentioned anywhere. The website may be mentioned and also where prior bookings are essential. We first had to scrape off the grill and clean it before use. Furthermore, the ceiling of the room (under the loft) is quite dusty. The upstairs carpet doesn't seem to be lifted regularly. The loft's bath faucets are impossible to open.

Very peaceful weekend in a very nice cottage.
One drove through quietly from Stellenbosch and was surprised by how nice the cottage is. Perfect for a small group of friends. The indoor braai/fireplace was a lifesaver and kept the whole place warm and cosy. The stars were of course the main point, but we drove about 2 km out of Sutherland to experience the full impact (the backyard, by the braai pit, was a bit sprinkled with ambient lights), regardless, the night light was stunning everywhere. The cottage was clean, homely, and had good quality bedding. The bath was actually a lovely relaxing extra. We plan to go back in the summer.

It was freezing cold, but an unforgettable experience in the snow. My new happy place.
The Artist Cottage was perfectly equipped for the cold. Electric blankets on the beds, extra blankets, nice thick duvets and even hot water bags - just remember to fill the boiler before you go to bed in case the pipes are frozen the next morning and you want a cup of peasant comfort. Experiencing Sutherland in the winter in the snow is something everyone should experience at least once. One wonders what the boo shark is all about, but experiencing the snow is truly "magical". The experience made me feel childishly happy. The church bell ringing was another highlight for us. Sutherland we will definitely see you again!

Excellent resting place.
Fantastic place to stay. The cottage is excellently equipped, especially the fireplace and woodpile for the cold evenings. The low door frame gave me and the family a few unpleasant head bumps. The door and reflective tape are the same color. Severe injury suffered on the back at the bottom of the handrail. Could not locate the owner as the numbers provided were incorrect and alternate contact did not respond to messages.

Unique and very tasty.
The cottage is cutely furnished. Note that the upstairs room's stairs are very steep and not accessible for older people. The furniture is carefully selected and comfortable. The bath of the upper room is not private enough, guests moving below can look in from various places. A skylight for the upper toilet, as well as the room, would be a great recommendation, it would give a unique view of the stars, but also let in air and light. The lower shower needs a screen - the whole bathroom is wet and slippery when one tries to shower, which is very dangerous on the slippery cement floor, especially for elderly people and small children.

Hi Elna,
Baie dankie vir 4-ster algehele gradering. Hoop julle het die kuiertjie geniet in Sutherland en die rustigheid van die karoo beleef.
Ons is die trotse nuwe eienaars (vanaf Januaire 2018) van die geskiedkundige huisie in Sutherland. Na 2 maande is al die opgraderings buite en binne voltooi.
Ons gaan gereeld Sutherland toe en doen veranderinge na ons smaak en skep sodoende ‘n bekostigbare (sonder om afstand te doen van kwaliteit en gehalte), leefbare en rustige atmosfeer vir gaste. Ongelukkig kan daar nie aan almal se smaak en voorkeure voldoen word nie.
Duidelike opgedateerde foto's en beskrywings van die huisie kan gevind word op al die web-tuistes, sodat gaste ‘n insiggewende en ingeligte besluit kan neem voor ‘n bespreking.
Ons is tans baie gelukkig en tevrede met hierdie juweel huisie.
Groete,
Fritz en Louise.

Baie dankie vir die kuier, ons is bly om te sien julle het dit geniet. Ons gaan ook gereeld en het nog nooit 'n klagte van die matrasse ontvang nie, aangesien die beddegoed van hoë kwaliteit is. Ek sal wel ondersoek instel op die geluid van die beddens.

Very cold. Well equipped and furnished but kitchen is extremely impractically laid out. Shower is ice cold or blazing hot.
The house's double volume makes it constantly cold, the small heater in the bedroom is not sufficient. There is a hearth but no wood, the owner can warn in advance to bring own wood. The shower is either blazing hot or freezing cold and our towels smelled of smoke.

Overpriced, dirty and no artwork in sight to call it Artist Cottage
Unfortunately the place was very dirty - stumps on the outside furniture, dirty food stuck to placemats, fridge not cleaned, weathered dirty dishcloths - to name a few. The bed still creaks as mentioned in previous reviews; and whoever sleeps upstairs can peek through the floor that goes into the downstairs bedroom. There was no sugar, no milk or starter bag of wood provided (which can be quite a problem if you check in late). Not even matches to light the gas stove with! Not exactly what you would expect for the amount you pay! The staircase to the second bedroom is very stylish: the stairs are uneven, dangerous for young children and the elderly and certainly do not comply with national building regulations. It is also not a bedroom, but an open living room (loft) which is not suitable for 2 friends (especially ladies), because the bath is in the open (so no privacy). There is also no window for ventilation upstairs - not even in the toilet. There is an attic door... but you can't leave the door open because the outside stairs lead directly onto the street. The list in even longer - but we sent all our comments directly to the owner.
