    "Absolutely amazing! Beautiful, cozy cottage with lots of character. Waking up with the farm animals at your bedroom window, the clear skies and stars at night with no cellphone signal was the perfect break from the city hussle."

    "Honestly, if you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and "switch off" then you can't really get much better than this lovely cottage. There's beauty in its simplicity, and I would recommend it to anyone that's craving some peace and quiet out in the open and far from any of life's usual distractions."

    "Wonderlik,stilste plaashuisie in die land.Ontwaak soggens met die mooiste voelgeluide en sluit die dag teen skemer weer met hul gesange af.Dan kom kondig die uile die koms vd nag met derduisende sterre,die halfmaan en.doodse stilte aan.Tyd vir kerse aansteek en n groot vuur binne kombuisie aan te steek vir n heerlike braai.Laatnag opkrul in warm donsvere duvet in sagte kerslig vir salige stille nagrus tot voeltjies weer nuwe dag aankondig."

  • "Perfect Weekend"

    25 April 2016

    "We really enjoyed our weekend at the cottage, this is a little slice of heaven and was everything we had hoped for. Nalise was very accommodating and even allowed us to move our stay forwards by one night - it was highly appreciated! The beautiful surroundings provided us with the opportunity to relax and unwind and we enjoyed quite a few strolls around the farm. We can't wait to book another weekend soon!"

  • "Success!"

    11 April 2016

    "We spent a long time searching online for just the right secluded little farm cottage and we found it! <br />Appelkooskop was adorable and the scenery was stunning! Thank you very much to the owners for the effort they put in and all the little goodies they left for us! <br />We will not forget our trip anytime soon, highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away and spend some time relaxing in nature. We specifically chose this weekend with no moon so that we could see the stars and they blew us away!<br />Our trek up one of the hills to watch the sunset was the highlight!<br />"

  • "Our Stay at Appelkooskop Cottage"

    27 January 2016

    "This is a gem - a beautifull cottage - beautifully decorated and the location and view was awesome. We were however dissapointed as we did clarify with the owners that there will be a clean sement pool for us to cool down in as we know it can be very hot in summer in this region. This was not so when we got there. The sement dam was only half full and green and was unsafe to use. The owners ( who were away on holiday ) said that we could use there swimming pool - which was also to dirty to swim in. 6 days in this area is to hot during summer without a place to cool down. If I knew that, we would have gone a different time of year. I had a child with me, so it meant he had to drive around 70 kilometres a day to go somewhere to swim. We feel we have been mislead. The owners has also not responded to my email. <br />"

  • "Perfect"

    19 October 2015

    "Driving through the grain fields up to the cottage was the perfect start to our weekend and then realising that there is no one for miles was the cherry on the cake.<div>We were welcomed with fresh baked bread and ready staked braai wood that made us feel very welcomed and not having Eskom in the house did not bothered us at all.<br /><div>This is a place to rest your soul or spark the romance.</div><div>A true gem and we will be back.</div><div>Marianna (Stellenbosch)<br /><div><br /></div></div></div>"

  • "Heavenly!"

    02 September 2015

    "The scenery is breath taking. I truly loved every minute. The cottage is cosy and the owner Nalise carefully catered to our every need. Who needs electricity and social media when we can interact with natures quiet calm and the ones we love? I will be visiting again shortly!"

  • "August Weekend"

    25 August 2015

    "Enjoyed our stay at the cottage with lots of wide open spaces and could really unwind. Very comfortable with attention to detail. The only problem was the last bit of directions to the cottage was a bit confusing<br />"

  • "Perfect getaway for peace and quiet!"

    03 May 2015

    "Incredible little place, which provides a wonderful break from the city. It's totally quiet except for the sounds of a windmill and a few sheep.<div><br /></div><div>I'd bring 5l or so of drinking water next time, the water is perfectly drinkable but just a little brackish.</div><div><br /></div><div>Very well appointed/kitted out cottage and Nalise's home-made bread was delicious - thanks very much!</div>"

  • "Fantastic stay at Appelkooskop Cottage!"

    14 March 2015

    "What a find! The Cottage is beautiful and clean, and such a peaceful place. You are completely surrounded by fields, with not another house in sight. Your only neighbors are the sheep!<span style="line-height: 1.5;">There were so many nice touches that made us feel very welcome - home made bread, any piece of equipment we needed, fire pre-set. This is a very special place, and highly recommended for anyone looking to have some peace and quiet and enjoy nature. It's also only a 35min+/- drive to the gates of De Hoop park.</span>"
