  • "Perfect stay!"

    24 November 2014

    "Paul was the best host I have ever experienced. The cottage was centrally located and easy to find. All amenities including air-con, full PVR, weber and everything you would require kitchens wise. Immaculately clean and neat. Crisp high thread count sheets and proper wine glasses sets them aside. Excellent value for money. Little hidden snacks and monopoly topped off a perfect weekend. Thank you Paul."

  • "Exceeded our expectations"

    07 October 2014

    "We had a fantastic stay at Bird Song Cottage recently. <br>The Cottage is very clean, tastefully decorated, full equipped with everything you need to feel at home, and is not too far from the best shops and restaurants in Parys.<br>Both the bedrooms have comfortable extra-length beds and modern on-suite bathrooms which can be compared to a 5 star hotel. Paul is an incredible host and attended to our every need (even after hours).<br>The only thing that could have possibly made our stay better was if the Cottage included a daily cleaning service but this wouldn't put us off from returning in future."

    09 June 2014

    "we had a wonderful stay at the Bird song cottage this weekend. The accommodation is stunning and really felt like our home for the weekend. The cottage itself was clean and everything from the best quality. Paul was amazing and was really there for anything. We felt so welcome and they really make you feel special by doing more than they have too. It was the coldest weekend in Parys and we didn't even feel it as the cottage had everything to heated bathrooms, heaters and electric blankets. Thanks you Paul for making it feel like a home. Will definitely come again."

    04 February 2013

    "We booked into the Bird Song Cottage on the Friday afternoon. What a surprise. Pictures can never do justice to the efort that has gone into this cottage. It is beyond 5 star. All the complimentry items aside (and they are many), it was such a well thought out and presented place with all the luxuaries of home. There is even a Weber braai out back complete with lighters and charcoal. Paul, the owner/host was around to welcome us and make us feel comfortable. Awesome hospitality at an excellent venue. We will be returning to Bird Song Cottage."

  • "Wow...what an experience!"

    25 January 2013

    "In my 20+ years of traveling in South Africa and abroad and being the perfectionist I am, I have never come across a place as perfect as this. Luxury at it's best and tastefully furnished. As for the full DSTV/PVR package offered, I've paid in excess of R1000 per night at a 5 star hotel and only got 6 channels for my money. Paul, you most certainly have what it takes to run such a fine establishment. Wish I could've stayed longer, but I'll most certainly be back. Thank you once again!"
