The Sandstone Cottage

Being in touch with nature and closer to God!

We were welcomed by Amanda and her family with smiles even though we arrived a bit late. This place reminded us of our childhood, the quietness, the serenity was blissful. The 2 young ones enjoyed the animals on the farm; it was such a lovely weekend! I will most definitely return to the cottage because this place gives you peace of mind. You can find yourself again being there and away from the hustle and bustle of life. Thank you, Amanda!

N lekker rustige wegbreek weg van die stads lawaai.

Ons familie is baie vriendelik verwelkom deur Amanda. The Sandstone Cottage is definitief 'n kindervriendelike omgewing - Amanda het die kinders die lammertjies, beeste, volstruise en plaas gewys. Dit was baie rustig, baie ruim, skoon, ten volle en gerieflik ingerigte verblyf. Hout, charcoal en braaigeriewe was voorsien. Lekker warm geslaap. Amanda het elke dag ingeloer en ons baie betrek by die plaaslewe. Sal beslis weer terug wees.

Beautiful open sky and perfect little cottage!

Amanda is an exceptional hostess! Her attentiveness and genuine care for her guests are evident. Prior to our arrival, she reached out to provide precise directions, which were spot-on. The cottage is well-equipped and exudes quaint charm. The farm road, navigated effortlessly by our trusty Jimny, leads to a stunning natural setting. Truly, being surrounded by such natural beauty is a blessing.

Ons gesin kon heerlike rus in die mooiste natuurskoon.

Heerlike sielerus vir die hele gesin. Dis 'n historiese omgewing vol interessante verhale uit die verlede. Selfs die stap op die plaas is aan te beveel.

Quiet, clean, spacious with endless walks.

This is a place that you stay at if you like farm accommodation, space and quiet. The farm is big and you can walk a lot (we managed about 20km) over a few days. You have to bundu bash, but that's what makes it special. There is an old stone wall on the farm that goes on for miles and at one high point, over a gorge, you can gaze at Isandlwana in the far distance. Saw lots of kudus and many species of birds. The shower is rated in my top 5 list, simply awesome - it will change you. Great people!

Rustig en kalmerend. Siels kos.

The Sandstone Cottage is kos vir jou siel. Die rustigheid is perfek om te ontsnap van die stadsgejaag. Die plaasatmosfeer, groen omgewing, mistigheid as jy opstaan, Bella op die stoep, volstruise aan die ander kant van die draad en skape wat rustig wei, is absoluut wonderlik. Amanda is gasvry en behulpsaam.

Great spot for a quick getaway, very comfortable and peaceful.

The cottage was very neat, clean, and comfortable. The location is also good as it's away from busy roads etc. Amanda was also an excellent hostess and ensured that everything was in order.

Working farm with kudu and vultures, heaven!

Lovely walks and scenery.

Fantastiese naweek gehad.

Ons het 'n fantastiese naweek gehad by The Sandstone Cottage. Die naweek was net heeltemal te kort. Sien uit na ons volgende kuier. Baie dankie, Amanda en gesin, vir julle vriendelike gasvryheid.

Baie lekker kuier.

Toegangspad effens sleg, maar kuier was puik.

N heerlike wegbreek. Sal weer kom.

Dis pragtig en baie rustig. Die diere is wonderlik. Uitsigte pragtig. Kothuis baie mooi in gerig.

Die plek is asemrowend mooi en ons het dit baie geniet!

Lekker 4x4 gedoen, plekkie is so mooi, ons is verwelkom deur die honde en die skaap wat baie spesiaal was. Hartsmense op die plaas het ons baie welkom laat voel! Alles was perfek!

Pragtige en baie rustige plaas.

Ons het gewerk en kon ongelukkig nie alles wat te bied op die plaas gebruik nie. Amand en Kobus is baie gasvry. Sal definitief weer besoek.

Very peaceful with some good walking sights.

Recommend if you want peace and tranquility.

Beautiful and restful.

The cottage is located on a beautiful farm and ensured a very pleasant stay during our tours of the local battlefields.

Die mense was baie vriendelik en baie behulpsaam en die uitsig is ongelooflik en die huis is iets om te sien dis supermooi. Dit was heerlik.

Die plaas is pragtig baie mooi uitsig. Die huis was ongelooflik netjies en die mense ons met ope arms ontvang, ons voorsien van alles vir 'n braai, aangesien ons gedink het ons sal gaan uit eet, maar daar is nie sulke geriewe nie dis te ver om te ry.

Plaasgevoel, rustig en natuur is asemrowend en die eienaar is vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Ons het dit baie geniet. Die rustigheid en diere wat so vriendelik is. Pragtige plaashuis en stoep en die binnekant van die huis is net so mooi. Was ongelukkig daar vir werk, maar sal definitief vir my familie die plek wil wys.

A great farmstay to chill and unwind.

Although we stopped over here for only one night on a business trip because we were working on another farm in the area, the Sandstone Cottage is more geared for holiday stays. The hosts are very welcoming and it has a great farm feel, complete with pet sheep and pig, cattle and farm dogs, together with owls in the trees in front of the farm house and a few game. If you enjoy hiking and exploring, there's a lovely kloof nearby (approx. 2 km walk) with a huge, deep pool, which would be great for summer swims. Beautiful aloes and bushveld vegetation, would be great to see the aloes in full bloom (in mid-winter), so it's a place for all seasons. Only recommendations are perhaps a comfy sofa (or 2) to relax on and perhaps lights fitted with a dimmer switch in the lounge area so that you can choose your light setting. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with amenable hosts, baie rustig!
