  "We wish we could have stayed longer - help and information when we needed it - privacy and quiet with landscape views when we felt like relaxing. Thanks to Rita, Philip and Marilyn and unobtrusive staff members who gave us such a picturesque base for our enjoyment of the Wakkerstroom Music Festival."

  "We very much enjoyed our stay at the Wetlands Country House & Sheds. Philip and Rita are wonderful hosts who ensure that one feels truly at home. The rooms and sheds are tastefully decorated (we loved the fireplace and free-standing bathtub) and very well taken care of, as are the entire premises. It was a wonderful experience all around, in a beautiful setting. We also enjoyed the bird viewing, hiking, biking, and the bistro in Wakkerstroom. We can highly recommend it."

• "Best accommodation"

  08 January 2013

  "Wetlands country house and sheds offers beautiful accommodation in a lovely area. The rooms are spacious, clean and exquisitely furnished. Every evening I got back there was a nice flask of sherry on the table and the fireplace was packed. Lots of attention to detail is what makes Wetlands such a lovely place. Breakfasts were five star, old-style country cuisine that was absolutely unbeatable. Every detail, down to the selection of preserves to enjoy with your toast was exquisite. The blueberry jam is out of this world. The hosts are very friendly and professional. I will gladly refer my family or best friends to Wetlands, should they wish to stay in Wakkerstroom."

• "Enjoyed"

  05 March 2012

  "I enjoyed my stay and was very comfortable but I would have enjoyed having a TV in my room. I also found that to start breakfast at 8am is too late for people wanting to get an early start. There was no flexibility in this regard."

  24 August 2011

  "This was quite an experience. We spent the first night of our honeymoon here and were pleasantly surprised. Our hosts were warm and accommodating. The shed was very comfortable and luxurious with quality furnishings, a fireplace, electric blankets and romantic bathroom. It is private and quiet. Breakfast was great and served in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended. The little town is also very quaint."
