Reviews

  • "Relaxed getaway"

    30 September 2019

    "What a gem, we had a great stay in the Mustard seed cottage. The cottage is far away from other cottages in the country side, very quiet and peaceful with a great view."

  • "Excellent Fireplace and cosy"

    07 July 2019

    "The place was empty on the day we arrived and one other couple came the next day. Instead of checking them into another croft, they were booked into the adjoining croft and we no longer had peace and quiet as wished for because the rooms are not sound proof.The croft is also just a few meters from the main road and traffic can be heard at all times."

  • "Tranqililty"

    23 October 2018

    "Unit not serviced as promised. Ran out of water which was sorted out quickly with one sms. Not too many globes in house through out, so bedrooms very dark. 2 Beer glasses for 4 people ?No curtains in bathroom which irritated some. All in all not good value for money."

  • "Home away from home"

    16 October 2018

    "Such a beautiful cottage. So many animals walking past. Very cozy and comfy bed."

  • "The ultimate indulgence"

    25 September 2018

    "What a beautiful place! The cottage is well designed and and well equipped, but having a pine forest with a waterfall all for yourself is unthinkable!"

  • "Calmness and location"

    03 September 2018

    "2nd time visiting Dullstroom country Cottages. Everything was perfect."

  • "Peaceful close to nature stay."

    02 September 2018

    "We loved the beautiful honeymoon suite, in the peaceful nature, peacocks and little monkeys and duikertjies. Close enough to Dullstroom, but also close enough to enjoy the calm stay of the nature."

  • "Cosy weekend"

    20 August 2018

    "Loved the fireplace and the walks."

  • "Privacy"

    10 June 2018

    "It was very spacious and had everything we needed .I wil defenately return with friends and family."

  • "Dullstroom County Cottages"

    28 May 2018

    "Very nice place to stay. A few too many spiders in the house but very comfortable"

  • "Cinnamon cottage no 2"

    02 May 2018

    "Very good location; great natural setting.We had issues with the hot water; it was resolved but only after 2 complaints to the owners; spent one day really not washing at all, as it was cold and we only had freezing water in the morning.Also, the ducks and goose are very nice and we enjoyed them; but food for them was only provided on arrival. They wanted to eat every day (surprise!!) the goose became quite aggressive when we could not provide any food. Eventually, after asking twice; we bought food for them from the Dullstroom supermarket; not like it was expensive or anything; but one would expect that - if guests are encouraged to feed the animals - which they are- food will be provided daily.The lights in the cabin are also not very good, could not read at night. I believe at least one good reading lamp should be provided.In any case, the farm is very quiet and pretty; nice walks through the woods and fields; quite a few dams nearby and the town is 5 min away by car; anytime you don't want to braai, you can go to a restaurant :)We would go back, but maybe pack one higher voltage globe and duck feed. We'll chance the hot water story :) as the geyser is dual solar and electric. Maybe we catch warmer/sunnier days!"

  • "The relaxed atmosphere and the ducks"

    03 July 2017

    "The chalet itself was just right - and the fireplace was a bonus. It would be nice if they can do something about the old buildings and cages around the place. It is a bit of an eyesore. We were totally on our own and the quietness was wonderful. Thank you."

  • "The toddler goes kwak kwak kwak"

    02 May 2017

    "I must say this was for us and our 4th year wedding anniversary the place we could hoped for. I booked and I planned it and wife loved it and for the little one, he enjoyed the ducks... and learned the sound they make kwak kwak kwak...Will I go back yes, but will get the bigger houses on the property for my other kids...The only thing was the TV could not turn towards the bed and the microwave was to small and the tiles in the shower is very slippery."

  • "Lovely Stay"

    04 July 2016

    "The cottages are really nice and we had a very comfortable stay. The surroundings are beautiful and we had such a great walk around the farm. The highway is quite noisy, especially at night. Other than that, it was really wonderful and we would definitely come back."

  • "Alone time"

    30 May 2016

    "We found the rooms to be neat, clean and well equipped. Loved the fire place in the room. We enjoyed the ducks and the layout of the cottages around the pond. We took a long hike on the farm and came across some beautiful dams - enjoyed the scenery and open air! Will certainly visit again"

  • "Amazing Weekend Break"

    30 May 2016

    "The cottages were perfect for us, close enough to Dullstroom that we could pop in and out, while being out in nature so we could walk through farmlands and forests as much as we wanted!<div>My wife, myself and our 4month old were comfortable in the house, isolated from everyone else, and all the necessary amenities were present. Felt like a home away from home!<br /><div>Our only regret was that we had work meetings on monday and couldnt extend our stay!</div></div>"

  • "Peaceful Stay"

    09 May 2016

    "<p class="MsoNormal">Dandelion is a beautiful inside and we enjoyed feeding theducks they were lovely as well as the peacocks. The little fireplace were comfyand kept the cold away but as soon as you close its door it smothers andcauses smoke to come out into the room. There also were no safe for firearms. Onvery misty nights like we experienced saturday night it was difficult to findthe entrance, there is only one little light shining at the gate that is notclose to the road and nothing shining on the big walls that has the name on.<o:p></o:p></p>"

  • "Peaceful Getaway"

    05 May 2016

    "Dullstroom cottages are conviniently located, fairly close to the main village. Although the single room chalets are close to the main road, it is still a peacefull environment in a wonderful setting of a farm and ducks by the pond. <br />"

  • "Nice Getaway !!!"

    26 April 2016

    "Initially we booked Mustard cottage, but we moved to other cottage as we were driving a low clearance vehicle. Fortunately Hatch end was available. We had a nice and pleasant stay at Hatch end cottage. Dam view was wonderful. Only suggestion is, if you book a Mustard cottage, please make sure that you have a minimal clearance vehicle as you need to drive off road for about 1 km. Thank youTrish for everything :) We will definitely visit this place again."

  • "Peaceful weekend"

    29 March 2016

    "We had a wonderful stay at Dullstroom Country Cottages over the Easter weekend. The town was very busy so we were glad to be staying slightly out of town to be able to get away from the crowds. The cottage was very luxurious inside and is situated around a beautiful duck pond. They even give you food to feed the ducks every evening. I would highly recommend a stay here."

    12 March 2015

Staying here made our first Dullstroom experience one to be remembered!"

  • "Fantastic Christmas stay!"

    30 December 2014

    "We stayed in the Dandelion croft for 2 nights over Christmas. The cottages are really great and have everything you need. We loved the cute touches like chocolates on the bed, a small Christmas tree and a wrapped piece of Christmas cake in our cottage. The ducks and peacocks around the dam add a lovely country atmosphere. Leigh was welcoming and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back."

  • "Best weekend."

    01 December 2014

If you needed to get something Dullstroom is close enough for a quick trip. If you need peace and quiet so that your soul can rest, this is the place."

    20 October 2014

    "It was very cosy, sexy and enjoyable! We definitely want to come again! And this time we will bring with more than just another couple :) We would love the keys to be available on sight, as town is out of our way to and back to collect and drop off keys."

  • "Lovely cottages"

    17 September 2014

    "We had a wonderful stay at Dullstroom Country Cottages. The cottages are very cosy and well-equipped, with a VERY spacious bathroom. The fireplace inside the cottages definitely added to the atmosphere, as well as the ducks, goose, and peacocks on the property. We would definitely stay there again."

  • "What a Lovely Stay!!"

    11 August 2014

    "We stayed at the Dullstroom Country Cottages from 8th August to 10th August 2014. We stayed in "Saffron, Croft 3 ", from the moment we arrived, we were so impressed. It was small, but comfortable, the decor was done tastefully, and the cottage was really welcoming. The bed was very comfortable, and we even got chocolates on the bed when we arrived. I would've loved a bath in the room, as there was only a shower, but obviously, for space reasons, there isn't one. Its just a stone's throw away from Dullstroom town, which is really great. The ladies Leigh and Trish that assisted me with the booking were really informative and a great help. We even requested to check out an hour later which wasn't a problem. We had a really great, relaxing weekend away. Of course we will be back again! Thanks."

  • "Great long weekend away"

    08 July 2013

The service was very good (Management's assistance, Emily's cleaning every morning, and the firewood that was dropped off daily). Very good value for money."

  • "A fantastic stay"

    10 June 2013

  • "Awesome"

    02 April 2013

    "Thank you to Trish for the awesome little touches which didnt go unnoticed - we had an awesome time!!!!"

  • "Mixed bag"

    20 March 2013

    "Mustard Seed cottage was clean and well equipped but basic when compared with Peppercorn cottgage. Nice welcome touches provided by the friendly owner (Trish) included sherry, rusks, chocs and home baked muffins. Some of the dams are stunning, but may not be used by cottage guests for fishing, which was very disappointing. The Fish Eagle Pond dam requires serious bundubashing for access. There is only one jetty to fish from, and it has a metal grid floor which constantly fouls and damages the fishing lines. The other 2 dams are in a cattle grazing area and have a lot of flies - not good for a picnic! Overall - not a place I would return to for fishing (which was the main objective). I would however return to stay in the Peppercorn cottage if fishing was not my objective."

  • "An amazing stay"

    26 February 2013

    "I wanted to thank you for the most incredible weekend. We had such an awesome stay. We arrived to a beautiful cottage with chocolates on the pillows, a little welcome sherry and an amazing chocolate cake. The views were breath taking and my little girls had so much fun swimming in the waterfall and exploring. The mountain bike trails were incredible and just over all an amazing wonderful weekend away. We'll definately be back..... thank you for making our stay in dullstroom so magnificent, we all loved it."

    10 December 2012

    "We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation was superb with wonderful walks and plenty dams to fish at. I lost count of how many awesome waterfalls there were. A fantastic break for fisherman, hikers and even rock climbers. Thanks for a memorable stay."
