"A walk in the clouds"
12 April 2015"Our recent stay at Little Acres can only be described as fantastic. The scrumptious breakfastis more than enough and our room was really tastefully decorated. The linen is of good quality and the beds are new and extremely comfortable. The hostess, Belinda Spence, is very knowledgeable about the area and activities available in a 50km radius. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning in the near future."

"Terra Rendezvous"
29 October 2012"We stayed at Little Acres with kids (3&8) for 2 nights and enjoyed every second of it. Rooms are wide, square and have French windows giving a feeling of open-ness. Garden is very well maintained and comes to full splendor after a nights shower. Breakfast is too good since they (yes they serve you personally) discuss the option with you instead to monotonous hotel buffet. Barry and Trish are lovely to chat and have made our stay even better. Don’t forget to see their model automobile collection."

"A haven"
07 April 2012"Little Acres is a haven in the Champagne Valley. Our room, with self-catering facilities, was beautifully clean with a delightful garden outlook. We were made particularly welcome by the hostess, Tricia, who was very willing to help in any way - especially facilitating accessing the Internet from her own computer, as Wi-Fi is not available. We would definitely return."
-
"Comfort and convenience"
26 March 2012"We travelled from Durban and planned to travel along the Midlands Meander towards the Drakensberg. We stayed overnight in the Berg, and then come back down the Meander the next day for things we missed. So we booked at Little Acres, which accepts one-night stays. This is something not a lot of establishments do. A +1 for that. They're conveniently situated on the R600, close to Dragon's Rest Restuarant and the Thokosizwe Junction, where we had coffee at the one and dinner at the other. In the morning we were presented with a massive, delicious breakfast and after a small chat with Trish, we were on our way back to Durban."

"Fabulous, 5 Star"
08 August 2011"This is a jewel in the central Drakensberg, where you can absorb the beauty and tranquility of the mountains, but are also just a stone's throw away from everything there is to do. This cosy, tastefully furnished, superb clean cottage, with its fireplace, sets the mood for a perfect getaway. Added to this is the great hospitality, as well as a 5 Star breakfast, which ensured an unforgettable weekend. Barry and Trish, you are for sure going to see us again soon. You gave us a lifetime of memories."
