The space and it feels home

This is was our second visit to Fox & Squirrel, we love coming here! The cottage is very well located and is the perfect getaway for a group of friends or family. There is a trout dam directly in front of the cottage and the view from the cottage is spectacular. The welcoming sherry, fireplace, and electric blankets make it the perfect winter getaway too!

Location 100%

The property is in a security estate overlooking a beautiful trout dam. It’s perfectly located in that it is walking distance from the main strip in town, but still offers peace and tranquility by not being on the main street. The living area with the fireplace is super cozy and the indoor braai is very convenient. Electric blankets in winter are an added bonus!

nothing not to like

everything in the house was perfect. A winner is the indoor braai , especially when cold and rainy weather . All the fireplaces in the house was great , although we only used the one in the living room. We could even watched the rugby , Dorothy was a great help and very friendly , keep it up and see you again well done !!!!!

Be aware that 2 rooms have bath and 2 have shower.

We’ve stayed here a few times. We love the cosy cottage feel. The complimentary Old Brown sherry always works for the girls in my family. Everything worked well, indoor braai, a few upgrades to the kitchen since last time. Excellent value for money.

Perfect for family and friends, each room with its own bathroom, great!!! The kitchen and living area is wonderfully designed so that all can be part of the conversation and not felt out.

The house feels “dirty” - Carpets and lounge couches need a rethink. We walked into the property and it smelt like heavy smoke. After a few days stay it became better with us air’ing the place out.

Great location and the house had all the amenities as well as all the required items for a great stay.

The house is neat, tidy, spacious and comfortable. Excellent for a family or group of friends. Will be ideal and warm to visit in winter with the 3x fireplaces and inside Jet master braai. Wil visit again.

Convenient location, pity about the fence in front of the house, understandable, because it leads onto municaple property/ dam. View of the water and mountain is lovely.

Very well appointed, comfortable and cozy

The cozy cottage, peace, tranquility, and the scenery. It was within walking distance of the dam. The lovely heated blankets to keep you warm at night and knowing that you're sleeping on fresh, clean linen. I loved the touch of the sherry as we only arrived at 11h00pm, and it warmed up the guys. The fireplaces in every room. My fur babies were so comfortable and happy as well.

The communication from the host was poor, they also weren't sure the date we booked for and made no effort to communicate with us on the date. We had to phone a security company to get a hold of the owner as none of the neighbor were able to contact them. A very stressful arrival, we thought we were initially scammed.

The house was clean, neat and well looked after. The town was lovely.

General maintenance is needed. Webber was broken. Pedestal in one bedroom loose. Toilet was leaking in one of the double rooms. The key was broken on the single rooms sliding door. The bedroom cupboards need a clean as we could not pack away our clothing. I expected more meaures for load shedding. We took own lights but in terms of cooking could use more measures. However the view was unbeatable as well as the surroundings. Close to town.

The view was exceptional. The house was very comfortable. Comfortable beds. Good space for a family. Will definately return. Despite the loadshedding we managed to have a great weekend away with two families comfortably.

Comfy house

It was a bit difficult to get to the estate, the GPS took us to another house. Just confirm with the owner. When we arrived at the house, we heard the TV was on and the cleaning lady was busy watching tv and sitting on the coach, she was a bit shocked that someone came to the house, not expecting us. It was unpleasant as I immediately thought are we doubled booked, why is there someone still in the house. We phoned Nicola, and it was immediately sorted out.

Perfect for a big family. Location close by everything. Beds was nice. Clean & neat.

Nothing.

Easily accessible. Got everything we needed. Generous space that allowed us to have indoor picnic due to not-so-great weather on Sunday. Awesome surrounding, complemented by the nearby dam.
