    29 October 2018

    "After a very difficult year concerning my health, we wanted to get away from the rat race, and this was the answer to our prayers. The cottage was clean, had everything we needed, cool on the very hot days that we were there, add a splash pool to cool off in, lush green lawns, bird song and beautiful nights under the stars. Very caring and friendly hosts, ticked all the boxes for us. Feel like a new person."

  • "Lovely cottage with stunning gardens and views"

    19 June 2017

    "Pleasantly surprised by the quaint cottages and exquisite surroundings. We had everything we needed from firewood (for indoor fireplace in the kitchen or outside braai), electric blankets, DSTV, jacuzzi bathtub (two bathrooms!) and induction stove! We could have stayed a lot longer! Next time we'll come when it's a little warmer to enjoy your garden and lovely pool."

  • "Nice cottages"

    04 March 2017

    "We enjoyed our stay at Kranskloof. The cottages are very basic and quite rustic though, so don't expect anything fancy!Our stoep was big with a lovely braai, which we thoroughly enjoyed.Unfortunately the toilet seat in our bathroom was broken, something which I really don't like!"

  • "Good but could be better"

    04 July 2016

    "<p>We spent three nights at Kranskloof while attending a conference nearby. The accommodation and setting is great although the furnishings and linen is a bit tired. What was disappointing was to find the cottage only equipped with one mug and no teaspoons. Our cottage had a nice fireplace and even though we bought wood for a fire, once in the cottage there were no matches or kindling to start a fire. We were very pushed for time so could not address these concerns at the time of arrival. Once they were mentioned to the owners all was rectified but it is the little detail that so often trips one up.</p><p>All in all it was good value for money but check the detail when you arrive.</p>"

  • "Pleasant stay"

    02 April 2016

    "A beautiful setting and comfortable cottage - we stayed in the Blue Room. However the room had a very strong odour of mothballs which was quite off putting. We happened to be there during a torrential thunderstorm and our room did have a few leaks. One of my pet hates is 1 ply toilet paper and unfortunately that was what was provided. The owner was very helpful in providing us with lanterns in case of a power failure during the storm."

  • "Beautiful"

    18 January 2016

    "Absolutely loved our stay. It's a pity we were only there for one night - will definitely make a plan to spend a longer period of time there in the future."

  • "Peaceful & Stunning Location"

    06 May 2014

    "This was our 3rd stay at Kranskloof and the place never disappoints. The gardens are beautiful and always well maintained. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming. Spend the late afternoon relaxing in the pool to enjoy the last few hours of sun.If I had one criticism it would be the condition of the cottages inside. I fully understand that these cottages are old but a little renovation wouldn't be too much to ask."
