What an Absolutely Beautiful Cozy Home in a Gorgeous Setting. Everything we needed was all there and the fireplace was so welcomed in the cold. Close to all the places to visit as well. Judy was so lovely as well and made sure our stay was top notch. Would Highly recommend.

There wasn’t more time to spend there!

The location is idyllic. The composition of the house is perfect for a small family. Everyone one might need is available. The finishes are lovely. It is 1.4km from Michaelhouse.

Loved it but unfortunately not most ideal if we’d come with our daughter who suffers from Cynophobia - extreme fear dogs. Always a challenge when finding suitable accommodation. Always helpful to mention that accommodation has dogs/ puppy friendly or noses as this always helps when travelling with her!

Host was great! Friendly & pleasant! It was at perfect location for our needs!

The location was amazing. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating and took care of all of our needs throughout our stay.

The write up for this property is a little misleading as we were under the impression that there were two showers and there is only one the other bathroom is only a toilet and basin.

This property has lovely views. It is clean and comfortable.

A beautiful cottage, in a secure location. C'est La Vie has lots of comfortable hiking trails for all ages and an amazing guide on the trails is the German shepherd Molly. Beautiful views, felt like a forest adventure but with very comfortable accommodation. The kids loved the loft room, felt like a tree house. Judy our host was very warm and friendly. Plenty of horses, cattle and farm animals to seen along the way. The kids really enjoyed it. The gas geyser was not as effective as an electric one that's probably the only thing needed for me to give a 10/10.

Judy our host was lovely, loooove the doggos, Henry was super spoilt by our group. Extremely clean and peaceful will definitely be back 😊 5 Stars 🌟

The hot water does not get hot enough due to it being gas geyser. We had to take very quick showers.

The cottage was so clean and comfortable. The owner, Judy, was so lovely and made us feel very welcome. The beds all have electric blankets which was a must in the cold weather. Judy gave us so much fire wood, coffee, tea, milk, hot chocolate and biscotti. Her dogs were friendly and well behaved. We felt safe and the view was beautiful. The cottage has rechargeable lights for load shedding.

The location was perfect for us as it is very isolated. You are surrounded by nature and peace and quiet.

For some, the road in and driveway may be off-putting, but for our two wheel drive Suzuki, it was not a problem. The location and view were well worth the effort. Inaccurate information provided by Bookings.com led us to believe we needed to provide our own linen. This was not the case - strongly recommend checking with facility before arriving to ensure you are properly prepared. Linen is provided by Cest La Vie.

Cottage was as shown on website, clean and well appointed. Owners were thoughtful, supportive and proactive, while staff were polite and helpful. This facility provided a great home base for our stay and planned activities in the area.

Perfect. Stunning view from the stoep. Excellent host. So clean. Comfortable beds and everything we could ask for. Very central in the midlands.

The gas geyser can be tricky for those that don't know how it works, but once you know how, it's reliable. The floor above the bedroom can be noisy for the main bedroom below, especially if you have children. Don't let Eskom ruin your holiday, take back up torches/lamps and enjoy the peace.

Rob and Judy have beautiful, clean, private accommodation which is ideally situated to explore the Midlands. Comfortable beds. Free Wi-Fi with access to Netflix. Lovely verandah overlooking the river that can be used to braai even during bad weather. Gas stove and gas geyser which operate during loadshedding, a life saver. The option for daily cleaning. Judy was available to help with any request even during the pouring rain. Plenty of firewood freely available. Access to peaceful, private walks on and next to the property. We also enjoyed the company of their super friendly dogs and kitty, who added an extra level of comfort to our holiday.
