"The whole experience was amazing. The 4x4 route getting there, the comfy, well-designed house, the surrounding nature and breathtakimg sunsets."
"The cottage setup and 4x4 drive up and down to the cottage"
"Fantastic place, well equipped, amazing scenery, lovely walks.... We'll be back!"
"Klipspringer is a special hide away: the silence is so good for the soul. No power means no TV thus more quality time to spend with your partner. The views are stunning and forever changing. The fynbos are so diverse and spectacular. The A-frame cottage is lovely and clean and well-equipped. The landlady, Marinda met us halfway to direct is to the gate and handed us tge keys. She is very friendly and made us feel welcome. I am so glad that they share this soecial place with others."
"This is by far the most beautiful cottage that we have ever stayed at. It has the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises as the cottage was built so that it gets Sun all day through. The amount of effort and detail that went into building this place is also amazing as all the wooden beams were each hand sanded/finished. We also had a glass of wine with the owner, Marinda, at Lord's wines. She was very welcoming and made our visit so much more special. Mcgregor is also a very nice town, we had breakfast and went for wine tasting afterwards and spent some quality time with the locals before heading up to the cottage. The way up to the cottage is a 4/5 difficulty 4 by 4 route which also ads to the fun of the weekend. The photos of this place do not do it justice... We have been to many cottages but this one by far takes the prize for views, remoteness, cozyness etc....Thanks Marinda for a great weekend!"
"We had such a lovely time this weekend. Especially waking up above the clouds on Sunday morning. Well equipped and clean."
"Everything you need: Solitude, Silence, Scenery, Beautiful Nature.We'll be back!"
"What an amazing place! We were looking for serenity and nature, and we found it. Would love to visit again in winter. Was great meeting Marinda, who took the time to drive us up the mountain."
"Four stars for: privacy, unbelievable views, cottage was comfy and had everything we needed and lastly, for the silence! Heaven on earth! Will def be going there again. A splash pool to wallow in in the summertime would make it 5 stars for us!!!!"
"Die 2 nagte se oorbly was hemels! Die uitsig is asemrowend mooi en aanwysings na plekkie was duidelik en presies. Plekkie was mooi skoon en foto's wat jy sien is wat jy kry! Baie dankie dat jul die plekkie met ons deel!!! Sal weer terug gaan!"
"You get spectacular day and night views of 3 dorpies at once, perfect solitude in a scenic setting and a fully equipped rustic cottage. All the ingredients for an unforgettable holiday. Thanks to an accommodating host we had our geyser issue swiftly attended to."
