• "Beautiful cottage in majestic surroundings"

  02 January 2020

  "We stayed in the Honeydew cottage over New Year's eve. It is newly built with large light bedrooms and a big stoep out the front with hammocks for lounging in. The cottage is well equipped, with fantastic views and you can go hiking from your doorstep. It's also dog friendly, and our dog greatly enjoyed facing down the dassies on the other side of the river. Doreen is an excellent host, very interesting to chat to and baked us some delicious muffins. We would definitely go back."

  07 April 2015

  "Doreenwas so friendly and made you feel absolutely welcome. The little cottage was spotless, and very well equipped. Nature is all around you. We loved waking up thechirping of birds and going for hikes in the surrounding area. We spend precious family time together, no television or cell phone reception! This was a weekend to be remembered for quite some time. Thanks Doreen, we will recommendyour place!"

• "A lovely stay in the mountains!"

  27 March 2015

  "Travel off the tar for a couple of kilometres to a secluded farm in the mountains! A place to revitalise your tired mind and body! A large cottage with electricity provided. No wifi or cellphone (mobile) reception gave us time to relax, catch up on books and conversations! Excellent for bird lovers, hikers or just to chill out. Doreen, our host, was very kind, surprising us with muffins one morning and eggs On another! Good beds, bathroom, a large veranda, braai facilities and much more made this a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend!,"

• "Mountains, birds and peace!"

  13 October 2014

  "We enjoyed a two day stay at Dew Cottage with my parents. We arrived in a very neat and clean cosy cottage overlooking mountains in all directions. We loved the hammocks on the 'stoep'. <br>We also went on two hikes into the mountains. The Keisie mountains took my breath away with its splendour.<br>The cottage is comfortably equipped with everything you might need for a relaxed stay. Comfortable bed and nice good quality linen and towels were provided as well.<br>The home made jams, atchars and preserves are highly recommended (available to purchase).<br>Zulu, a big doberman dog and his sidekick came to greet us a few times. <br>A place where friendliness is almost tangible in the air!<br>Highly recommended for the price range!"

• "Weekend away"

  29 July 2013

  "Our stay at Dew Cottage was amazing as usual. It's the 3rd time we've stayed there and every time is a blast. you really get to unwind as you are surrounded by nature and no cellphone reception for calls and texts to bother you. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the technology that take control of our lives. The stay was amazing and will go back again next year."

• "Amazing little spot"

  03 June 2013

  "This is a fantastic little cottage. Very functional and comfortable. It's beautifully nestled in the mountains, and on the morning I stayed there I woke up to snow on the mountains surrounding the cottage. The owners are very attentive to your every need. Many thanks for a lovely stay!"

• "Unforgettable life"

  05 November 2012

  "What an awesome experience, away from the rush of the city life. Dew Cottage took my husband and I to a place of pure appreciation...appreciation of life. There's a pure sense of life from the minute you open your eyes, open the front doors and look over the farms. There's life in the river that flows, in the birds chirping, in the soft rustling of the trees. We chose the perfect little piece of heaven to spend our 16th anniversary. Thank you, Doreen for sharing her with us."

• "10 out of 10"

  27 August 2012

  "Dew Cottage is surrounded by beautiful dramatic mountains, a rambling river and the sounds of nature. It is a perfect romantic getaway spot offering everything you need. Perfect for the cold winters nights with feather duvets and extra bedding and we intend to find out how perfect it will be in summer when we return to cool off under the outside shower or in the stream. Our hosts Doreen and Tarry were both very special, offering just enough attention to know they were on the other side of the hill if we needed anything but leaving us to take in the peaceful surroundings and beauty. We will definitely be visiting Dew Cottage again!"

• "A breathtaking getaway to a secluded spot."

  01 September 2008

  "We had a fantastic time and would do it again in a heartbeat. I only wished we could have stayed longer 2 night are way to short a time to experience everything there is to offer.Most enjoyable for people who want to get away from it all is of course the lack of Cell phone reception and TV. But if your contacting needs are urgent Montagu is close enough which has reception.And of course as we drove back the entire Koo Valley just at the top of the Burger Pass was covered in Snow. That in itself was a added bonus."
