"Well equipped, cosy cottage in a peaceful milieu.Near to De Hoop Nature Reserve to do whale watching, especially during this time of year."
"Hostess was very welcoming and friendly. Viewing the wild buck at sunset was great."
"We loved staying here and will definitely come back. Facilities were all that we needed and more, hosts were very warm and friendly, location was great for access to the de Hoop nature reserve and the bird life here was exceptional not to mention springboks within metres of the veranda."
"All round good experience, from tranquility gazing at the rolling hills and nearby Springboks to being part of the daily farm activities. Was such a treat to go and fetch fresh eggs for breakfast. Marthie looked after us very well, providing wood for the fire, farm fresh milk and delicious rusks. The cottage was nicely set up and comfortable and clean. We will definately go back."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It'squiet, clean and peaceful. Great hospitality and wonderful fresh eggs and milk daily. Springbok grazing on our doorstep. If you like the farm life this, is the place to go and relax. We'll be back!"
"What a fabulous little gem on a working farm. Clean and spacious with all amenities you'd need. Inside and outside braai, with a gorgeous patio to watch the sunset. The best part is collecting fresh milk and eggs in the morning and meeting all of the farm animals which even include a pet buck :-)<div>We'd definitely recommend it.</div>"
"Lovely setting on a working farm. Collect your own fresh eggs and drink fresh milk. Accommodation clean and comfortable. Views great and if you really need a town Swellendam only 35km away. Lovely friendly family. We stayed 4 nights and wished we had booked longer."
"We really enjoyed the quietness of The Aloe Cottage! Everything was very clean and we loved the 'extra's' like wood for the fireplace and fresh eggs."
"We really enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful weekend away on the farm. The cottage is brand new, comfortable and has everything you need. The owners and their staff made us feel welcome and we were able to experience life on a working farm. Will visit again soon."
"It was brilliant, love the place, very decent and perfect break away from the busy city life! I'll recommend it to anyone!!"
