    "This was our second stay at Kierie Kwaak, it is in such a great spot! It is in a quiet part of town so no noise from traffic and very safe. Huge beautiful garden surrounds, private entrance gate and spectacular close-up views of the mountains. The units are small but comfortable and everything was in good working order - wall panel heater too which made it nice and cosy! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Thank you for a great stay"

Although the cottage is cosy, everything has been thought of such as having an iron, plunger etc. Some other thoughtful touches include having rusks and crunchies and coffee and tea provided.<br/>The views from both the front and back porches are fantastic."

  • "Great"

    15 February 2016

    "<br /><div>It now seems like a lifetime ago (it was a week ago) when we set foot on the Kierie Kwaak lawn.</div><div><br /></div><div>Idyllic location, and everything one needs for a stripped down vacation.</div><div><br /></div><div>We have nothing but good things to say about the service staff. When our gas ran outin the middle of the night the bottle was changed immediately, even though we only needed it in the morning.</div><div><br /></div><div>A stones throw from Jonkershoek (AMAZING!) and a short drive to Elgin, Gordon's Bay etc, etc gave us the chance to connect with Cape Town.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you!</div>"

  • "Dissapointed"

    11 March 2015

    "We were put in the add on to the house which they refer to as a flatlet. This was rather disappointing as we saw the cottages on the net and they really looked nice and peaceful.We got the flatlet as family had arrived and were staying in the cottages, surely<div>your guests come first! The flatlet had no privacy as we were right by the back door to the main house and this made us feel rather uncomfortably as everyone was walking past no matter which room you were in.</div><div>Would not book there again.</div>"

  • "Beautiful!"

    12 October 2014

    "You could not wish for a more beautiful setting! Majestic mountains, open spaces, fresh air and a bubbling brook. What a lovely place to relax for a bit, and an excellent base to explore Stellenbosch and the wine farms from. Also lovely personal touches like homemade crunchies and rusks, and the frogs add a special element! Highly recommended."
