    "Silo Cottage is a homely, comfortable and quirky cottage. It is set in beautiful surroundings and has a magnificent view."

  • "Silo Cottage - Great View"

    31 December 2018

    "Generally good value for money if you are merely using the accommodation as a base to explore the greater Underberg area. Going in December, the top bedroom was very hot where either ceiling fans or portable fans would have helped with the heat and flies. The river is more than 100 meters from the cottage and the picnic spot could not be used, as the grass was almost waist height. The cottage is well kept and clean and a great place to just chill and relax."

  • "Perfect for a Southern Berg Getaway"

    19 December 2016

    "Book Silo cottage and you wont go wrong. The cottage is homely and very cosy. Excellent heating facilities if you go in winter. <br/><br/>Either you want to swim or go tubing in the Umzimkhulu river just 200m from the cottage or go on a horse trek or just relax and soak in the view. Silo cottage offers it all.<br/><br/>Noise is not a problem as other cottages are far away.<br/><br/>There is a small drive on dirt road, but it is worth it."
