The drive to the cottage from Maclear is difficult 21 km on gravel but we were prepared .I would recommend a visit of more thgan one night to make it worth while .Unfortunately it had been raining hard and we could not explore the property as we had planned but we will next visit

Beautiful cottage nestled in the mountains with awesome views .Phyl is a caring host and set the table for our arrival .The cottage was well stocked with wood for the cozy fireplace .Our beds had electric blankets .The kithcen was well stocked with electric stove and microwave and gas cooker to accomadate for the electricla outages

A Queen size bed in the main bedroom, in stead of the double bed, would have been great. We missed a desk in a bedroom, but the large dining room table made up for that.

The correspondence from our host was outstanding and she went the extra mile to give directions, recommend a butcher in Maclear and organise a tour. We arrived in pouring rain, but she welcomed us at the car and took us to the cottage, where she opened up and explained how everything worked. Throughout the stay she checked in with us to ensure that we were comfortable. The cottage is very well equipped and the gas geyser and gas stove, as well as the dishwasher and washing machine were welcome bonusses. The beauty of the area and the farm in particular is breathtaking. Although it is a working cattle farm, flies (and other insects) were not a problem at all, as ample provision is made in the cottage to deter them. The serenity, peace and quiet that surrounded us, the pitch darkness at night, the very bright starts and the sound of the nearby stream and frogs, the mist rolling in and covering the mountains .... true escape from the city!

The gravel road to the cottage is 22 km and should not be taken lightly .It is neccessaty to have a SUV and takes about 40 minutes from the town .Therefore this venue is not a quick en route stay over .Also a note that the bathroom is not ensuite

We stayed in a gorgeous secluded cottage nestled amongst the mountains .This is a 3 bedroom cottage with twin beds in two rooms and a double bed in one . The cottage was well equiped and warm and comfortable .There was an indoor fireplace with firewood provided .The ouside braai was easy to use .There was good provision for electrical outages with battery charged light bulbs and kersone lamps .The bedding was warm and the beds comfortable with snug blankets and electric blanket.The cottage is comfortably furnished with orignal scenery paintings on the walls We loved the complimentry biscuits , coffee,tea sugar and milk.The table was set for us on arrival The views were awesome with the mountains rising straight up from the patio with good walks from the cottage .The owner was hepfull and friendly

This was our third visit, which says more than enough.... It was like coming home, being welcomed like family and the tranquility, peace and beauty of the valley is literally out of this world. We will be back. Thanks Phyll

Only tiny problem I had was that wood for a braai was supplied, which was great, but it was wet and I had no firelighters, so I battled to get the fire lit. But that didn't detract from the overall wonderful experience

Beautiful location and views. Lovely cottage. Feeling of being away from any crowds. Enthusiasm of owner for the conservation work they doing on the farm.

We had a lovely long weekend at Woodcliffe Cottage - stayed in the Castle View apartment which was perfect for a couple. The mountain views and walks were beautiful, we loved the working farm going on around us and Phyll and her team were very friendly and welcoming. It was lovely to come home to a hot bath and a fire after a long walk.

Nothing it was lovely I can not say there was anything I did not like as it was a beautiful and lovely stay

The view and the location just brilliant. The cottage was very comfortable and everything worked so well. Well stocked kitchen and lovely hot water for the shower.

Signage to the house - the destination is very remote. Lack of contact.

Does not apply.

The cottage is too beautiful, the scenery and quiet surroundings so soothing. Our second stay already and not our last. Thanks Phyll for being such a perfect and caring hostess

My parents absolutely loved their stay at Woodcliffe. It was the perfect setting for a break in the country and they loved the comfortable, well equipped cottage in the mountains.

Not much I can say hey except that I didn't didn't like I had to leave.

I enjoyed everything, the view, the room, the location. It was so peaceful, I loved it!

The access requires driving for 21 km each was over harsh dirt road. Therefore it is not ideal for a short stopover.

Lovely comfortable beds. Beautiful view. Phyll was a great hostess. It is the sort of place which is better to stay longer than 1 night.

It has a long gravel road to get there. Quite rough in places.

Peaceful. We were in the spacious Loft with awesome views. Wonderful walks and a glimpse of farm life. We watched lambs being born!

Beautiful setting on a working farm nestled in a valley with great scenery.

Road to the facility is a long gravel road suitable for bakkies and 4x4 SUVs.

Everything at the property - gas gyser, stove & backup lights, had a great experience during loadshedding.

It was not as clean as we expected and the house was not as beautiful anymore as it once must have been.

The locationa and atmosphere is breathtaking. Definitely worth a detour.

there’s no network at all. you have to be at reception area for you to get network and host tells you she closes the reception at 19:00 and I was there for work purposes so I needed network . The network booster in my room was not working . I think the host should make sure that the network booster in the guest room works 100%.

cleanliness.
