Our family really enjoyed our time at The Herb Cottage. From the walks along the stream to the walks through the farm. We also had a nice barbecue by the pool. The children enjoyed the games and we had a very blessed time as a family.

Quiet and nice.
The Herb Cottage is hidden deep in the woods. It was warm and the cold pool was heavenly. Near the cottage was also a river that could be heard all the time. In the evenings we had a nice barbecue and during the day visited the glass studio. The owners were friendly and everything was neat and beautiful. We will definitely visit The Herb Cottage again!

The cottage is a gem.
The Herb Cottage is very well looked after and all the basic necessities are there. Fresh flowers in the dining room and rooms were beautiful, pool was a treat. An evening with candles on the porch and a soft lamp and a fire was wonderful. One can touch the stars there. The cottage is private. The bath with open doors was lovely and very romantic. The host and hostess were courteous and our request for a late check out was no problem.

Heaven on earth - fairy tale place.
It so often happens that you form a picture in your mind based on the photos of how it will look at a certain place and then you're disappointed when you arrive. Herb Cottage is the biggest exception to this rule that I have ever experienced. When you open the front door of Herb Cottage you enter a sort of fantasy world. The spacious cottage is very tastefully furnished. Everything you think you might need is there. The indigenous forest, the constant rush of the river as well as the walking trail next to the river is very very special. If there is one place we will return to time and time again it is this cottage.

Beautiful place. Everything a child needs is there. Entertainment such as games, puzzles, books and magazines. There was even an umbrella in case it rained! Kitchen was well equipped. Comfortable furniture and beds. Two beautiful spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. We had no internet signal but after a day or two you get used to it. Beautiful glassware at the Glass Studio.

The steep winding path from the R71 to this modern fairy house is the only slightly negative aspect. Not that it will put us off coming again! The place is neat, clean and has comfortable beds. Spacious, very well equipped, with a great stove and fireplace. Outside next to the swimming pool are braai facilities, 2 'sun loungers' where you can lie down and read your book. There is also an outdoor shower. If you want to take Max or one of the other friendly dogs to go exploring with you among the avocado groves or down the river, there are even leashes, rubber boots in a variation of numbers available if needed . It was late at night before I realized that there was no television - but there was no need for it. There is a wide variety of games available for use to take you back to the days when families still sat around the table and spent quality time together. Elspeth and Ralph are more than happy to provide the fresh herbs they grow to help you prepare festive meals in the wonderful kitchen. Avocados, macadamias and herbs are on sale to take home and there are also wonderful glass plates and decorations made by Elspeth available to buy. We were very sad to return to Gauteng, but we will return for sure! Something I would recommend doing while in the area is the Magoebaskloof Canopy Tour. An experience of a lifetime! Thank you LekkeSlaap for the referral to this unforgettable place to stay.

Set against the mountains and the waterfall you hear when you lie in your bedroom. Look out to the beautiful garden and you hear all the different sounds of birds, the smell of the herbs, fresh air - the best ever! Herb Cottage is the place. It is picture perfect. The smell of herbs is amazing! The accommodation, bedding, rooms the whole house is spotless.

The quest for silence ends here!
We arrived on a wet rainy day after a long and hard 2014 and we were dull and tired. After the 10th day we were fresh and ready for 2015. The days at the Herb Cottage can be summed up as follows: Lazy and quiet mornings that are filled later in the day with sounds and sounds of birds and monkeys. We enjoyed reading, swimming and cooking... Herb-Cottage is dreamy destination of peace and tranquility and a real gem. The cottage is beautifully appointed with all the luxury amenities of your own home. Soft white linen, lovely beds and fresh herbs and flowers...We miss the river, the lots of green, the calm...the silence! The owners, Ralph and Elspeth some of the friendliest and most hospitable people ever... and ready for any request. The Herb Cottage is precious.

We arranged a weekend getaway to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were surprised to see what The Herb Cottage offers in terms of price and value for money.
The facility offers much more than it advertises. Excellent accommodation, privacy, picturesque surroundings and above average equipment and appliances (such as a dishwasher) are part of the package. I would recommend it to anyone. The only negative aspect is the access road - it's recommended that you have a vehicle with good ground clearance to reach your destination carefree.
