• "Cozy Cottage"

  29 August 2016

  "Unforturtunately we could only stay for one night instead of two nights due to our missed plane from Europe. We found a well-kept and very clean cottage in a beautiful garden. Every room is unique and spacy. The living room and kitchen are tastefully furnished and well equipped. There is a wonderful stoep with a huge table where we spend the early evening. This is the perfect place to be on your way to Kruger but please stay for at least two nights."

• "Loved our stay at Molly's"

  17 July 2016

  "We really enjoyed our time at Molly's garden cottage. The lovely fireplace and heaters kept us nice and warm at night and the lovely patio overlooking a gorgeous garden was perfect for our morning coffees and evening braai's. An excellent place to stay to explore all of the Panorama route. It really has everything you will need and Auke was friendly and helpful. Thanks so much for a lovely stay."

• "Great base to explore the area"

  11 January 2016

  "We truly enjoyed our stay at Molly's garden cottage. The best part is of course the lush garden, and the house is lovely, very well appointed and airy. There were a few hiccups which the owners addressed immediately. The two bedrooms are en suite and the third bedroom is a mezzanine, which doesn't give much privacy but is quite large. Would definitely recommend the place."

• "Tranquil"

  02 September 2015

  "The cottage is beautifully set in a tranquil garden a short walk from the centre of Graskop and has everything for a family to relax and enjoy the surrounding area, with more than adequate self-catering equipment The only drawback is the two beds on the balcony have to use the toilet and wash facilities in one of the other bedrooms and the stair has no safety rail so would not be suitable for small children My family very much enjoyed our stay there Robin"

• "Weekend away in June"

  23 June 2015

  "<p>Great location in Graskop, you can walk to all shops and restaurants. The Cottage was well equipped with all the essential utensils. Given it was winter the cottage was cold - the fire provided a bit of heat but would suggest to bring heaters.</p><p>I would go back and stay there if I visited the area again.</p>"

• "Nice, but could improve"

  27 April 2015

  "It is always very difficult to comment on a structure in a different country, the risk being that of applying standards that are incorrect.<div>It is even more so when the landlord, Mrs. Molly in this case, is such a nice person.<br /><div>Said that, the structure is very nice: a large country house in a beautiful garden, with a huge porch were it's possible to relax. The rooms were large, the beds were enough confortable, not so much the pillows, very thick and hard. The fireplace in the living room was prepared and ready to be lighted.</div><div>What was not really in line with expectations was the<span style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">rather approximate</span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">cleanliness, The cups in the kitchen were mostly dirty, so the water heater (i.e. the only items we used of the kitchen), and the level of cleanliness of the floor was the same inside and outside: well acceptable in the porch, much less in the bedrooms and bathrooms.</span></div></div><div>Final bad surprise, just before switching off the light for sleeping: a huge (really huge) spider on the wall in one of the bedrooms. The quality of our sleep was obviously very bady affected by that. Ok, it's a country house and no cleaning can assure that spiders come in, so no blame on the property. But guests should be aware of this risk.</div><div>Possible improvements:</div><div>1) provide different kinds of pillows in the different beds: not a pillow menu, just some different pillows in the six beds, so that guests can make their own selections.</div><div>2) put more care in the cleaning</div>"

• "It really is home away from home"

  02 January 2015

  "We had the best time the cottage had everything we were especially impressed by the daily housekeeping at No extra charge! The hosts were great as well. I have been to many places and for me Molly's is the best, it is clean, there is privacy, the surroundings are peaceful and shopping and restaurants just 5 minutes away. We are going back for sure plus its good value for money."

• "Lovely Cottage"

  17 June 2014

  "Really nice place with nice layout. Excellent shower. Massive (but enclosed) garden which is like a wilderness you can get lost in it, great for hide and seek with kids. It was a little bit cold when we stayed there in mid-June despite the log fire! The owners were very helpful and kind and gave us an extra heater."

  "Cottage was perfectly clean, roomy, well appointed and effectively located in very large garden. Secure and quiet neighbourhood. We were very glad to occupy it for 3 consecutive days while visiting Blyde river region. We did really appreciate the fireplace as we ran into colder weather than usual. We had a warm welcome from owner Auke. Host kept checking that we were comfortable at all times. Cottage had everything we did wish for except washing machine and wifi. The later was available at the pancake restaurant minutes away."

• "A stellar find!"

  11 January 2010

  "Molly's Cottage should be renamed "Molly's Mansion" - lovely big spacious bedrooms, amazing kitchen (extremely well stocked, clean, with fridge/freezer, microwave, utensils, cutlery and crockery) and fantastic patio outside. We managed to fit 7 adults very comfortably in the space. It really felt like home away from home. The 'cottage' is situated very centrally in Graskop, and the people are really friendly, accommodating and helpful. I'm really hard-pressed to find any faults with our vacation there. Above all we all thought it was great value for money. We felt completely safe to leave our bags behind and go exploring some of the most beautiful parts of SA. Molly's cottage was a true find and we will definitely be back SOON!"

• "Great place to stay in Graskop!"

  13 April 2009

  "We took our in-laws from the States to visit this beautiful part of the country. Molly's guesthouse popped up on Safarinow and the pics looked really great, so we booked a three night stay. Well, from the minute we arrived until we left we kept on commenting on what a wonderful cottage it is! Very comfortable with a great loft for the kids. The garden is a child's delight with all kinds of secret hidden pathways. We were surprised when the cleaning lady showed up to clean our dishes and clean the house! It allowed us to go out and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Thanks Karen and Auke for a wonderful stay. We'll definitely be back in the future!"

• "Pleasant Stay at Molly's Cottage"

  23 February 2009

  "Molly's cottage is one of the most pleasant weekend stayovers around. Very private, away from the main house, you can come and go as you feel without feeling you are intruding. Well equipped and newly build it is very spacious, perfects for big families looking for rest and relaxation.. Close to all the sites and shops available in Graskop, it's worth visiting. Thanks Auke, it was a great stay!"
