Reviews

  • "Location of Vultures View was great"

    29 October 2018

    "Location was great with wonderfull views of the kloof and forest. Good layout. <br/>No warm water. The LP gas Geyser was faulty and there was no back up geyser in place. <br/>Cobwebs above the curtains showed poor housekeeping.<br/>Would have liked at least a stocked coffee/tee station. <br/>Dining at Champagne Sports resort was great and lunch at Valley Bakery <br/><br/>Establishments response:<br/><br/>Thank you for taking the time to give feedback. We apologise for the cobwebs. We hope that guests will understand that with the natural environment where nature rules, minor cobwebs are not an indication of poor housekeeping as per the numerous responses received from other guests about the cleanliness of the establishment, including the guests sister-in-law who also stayed at our establishment.<br/>Sorry about the geyser playing up during your stay. These things happen. Being out in the country technical support is 65km away and service providers take weekends off! We offered two alternatives, including moving the guest to another establishment. Unfortunately, the guest declined both alternatives. Tea and coffee facilities are not provided as we offer a self-catering facility at a very economical rate and do not want to increase our rates by providing unnecessary extras.<br/> <br/>Regards,"

  • "Peace and quiet at its best"

    28 July 2018

    "We loved the fact that there is no TV to desturb the absalute quiet. When a crow flies bye and you can hear its wings swoosh in the wind, now THAT is quiet. The whole estate is very quiet and everyone respects each other's privacy.However, the cowl on the chimney needs to de replaced as it is rusted and does not turn in the wind. The smoke was blown back into the unit when I made fire in the fire place."

    02 March 2017

    "I found this cottage to be very neat and well situated, nestled between beautiful mountain views and a view of the lake at Drakensberg Sun. The area itself was quiet and allowed for a relaxing holiday experience. The caretakers were warm and friendly and offered help with odds and ends whenever required. The home had more than enough space, equipped with all of the required appliances and necessities. Overall, my stay was very comfortable, relaxed and pleasant! I would definitely recommend this venue to others."

  • "Vulture View"

    18 July 2016

    "We so enjoyed our time at Vultures View and would definitely like to go back. We loved the beautiful views and walking trails, the vultures flying overhead as we sat on the patio and the vulture feeding hide! We were disappointed not to spot the bearded vulture this time...will have to come again! The facilities in the cottage were lovely and the owners were very pleasant and helpful."

  • "49B"

    23 May 2016

    "Hi<div>Cottage is lovely and setting is sublime and so quiet, just what was needed. I feel pics glamorise the accommodation a tad. Everything was nice inside, everything that is needed is there, tho toaster needs replacing. One big criticism is the fireplace-it is so nice to sit at night in front of the fire after a busy day and especially at this time of year (May) which draws well, but smoke does enter house during lighting and when the fire starts cooling down leaving a terrible smokey atmosphere and smell- this does need fixing! Other than that, the experience was great and my overseas guest had a great time.</div>"

  • "Mixed"

    17 November 2014

    "Just be warned there is no DSTV decoder ,guests must bring their own decoder. I took my smart card with the intention of watching rugby which was not to be . There is no stove either so someone must perhaps up date their web site. Blockout curtains in the bed rooms would also be a nice idea. Other wise lovely position right in the mountains."
