The Cottage is in 'n rustige area waar ek heerlik kon ontspan na 'n lang rit. Dis 'n gerieflike wooneenheid en die gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om my en my kat te huisves.

Accommodation could improve in some areas.
Upon our arrival, we have to ring the phone for a while, before the hostess answered. She "apologized" that the place was not quite right and the mattress was not up to standard and she did offer to provide a better mattress. We couldn't sleep because of mosquitoes - no mesh in front of the windows or doors. It was hot and stuffy in the apartment, but we couldn't open the windows because of mosquitoes. There was mosquito spray provided, but my grandchild cannot use it. There was a standing fan provided in one bedroom, but since it makes a lot of "noise", we couldn't use it either. The small bed's bedding was not clean, the pillows were flat and there was no sheet on the bed. Upon our arrival, the host's large dog ran into the accommodation and jumped on my 2 year old grandchild and scratched her in the face. The parking area is very steep and not suitable for cars that are low.

The Cottage 's response
Ek is regtig jammer om te hoor dat die woonstel 'n groot teleurstelling was. In die toekoms, sal ek die gaste beslis daarop wys dat hulle welkom is om enige tyd na die tweede woonstel te verskuif as die eerste een nie aan hul vereistes volddoen nie.
Weereens baie jammer.

Modern, friendly and helpful host, full kitchen facilities and lovely shower, beautiful location.
We were extremely surprised with the beautiful apartment and view, Elske, the host, was helpful and friendly and even brought us biscuits. We regret we only stayed overnight and couldn't stay longer, because it is a very comfortable apartment with a beautiful view from the balcony. It was the middle of winter but we were snuggled up with extra blankets and a lovely hot shower to chase away the cold. I recommend The Cottage to anyone wanting to visit Maclear.

We had a great stay, and will definitely stay at The Cottage again if we are in the area. We couldn't find anything wrong. The only problem was our GPS which struggled to get us to The Cottage (both Garmin and Google Maps). The GPS coordinates along with the details of The Cottage, for future visitors will make the whole experience that much more enjoyable.
