Silence and no WiFi was nice. Very quiet and peaceful. Clean linen. Solar power works well while the sun is shining. Gas geysers work well. Ideal to switch off a bit. Watch out for mud, we got stuck. There was an alternative route.

Perfect for a peaceful getaway! We have been to Appelkooskop Cottage more than once. There is no cell phone reception (that's great!) and it's very peaceful, quiet, and private. The place is very nicely decorated!

Break away Turn off Heaven on earth. The far-away-from-it-all feeling that is just needed to switch off can be found here. Not a light or road in sight. Beautifully furnished with everything and more necessities available, and the small detail that does not go unnoticed. Communication before and during was great. Although luckily there is no cell phone reception (big win!). Definitely want to relax there again one day.

Perfect place to switch off! The cottage was the perfect place to switch off. It's great that there was no signal (there is catchment a short distance from the house if you need it). Although there is no electricity, the solar panels were enough to recharge phones. There is also a nice gas stove and hot water to shower with (the pressure is just a little low). I usually get cold easily, but this was not a problem at all, the bedding was nice and warm and there were also hot water bottles available. It was lovely to have the field around you and just to hear the sheep, birds and frogs. The braai place is also excellent. We will want to go there again!

Breathtaking getaway. Perfect getaway destination. Didn't see a single bit of civilization for three days and enjoyed a lovely long weekend in nature. House is very neat and even better equipped than I expected. Would definitely recommend.

Super peaceful and slightly more than we expected. The solar panel lights were just enough to help us in the dark with what we needed and the cottage had all the necessary amenities except a pair of scissors which we also naturally forgot. The shower's water pressure is not amazing, but at least the water is hot. I was also slightly frightened by the snake outside, but what do you expect so deep in nature? Just watch out for Google Maps' pin for the location. The poor farmer just shakes his head and laughs for the number of times when the city lads stop and ask - dear Mr, which way, we can't find the cottage!?

Accommodation with character. The cottage was very clean and tidy, is extremely well equipped for self-catering and has a lot of character. The location is nice and secluded and private. The owners were extremely hospitable. We can highly recommend this cottage for people who will appreciate silence, tranquility and the beautiful surroundings.
