There's nothing I would change about this accommodation. Is it the perfect combination of cosy, comfortable and rustic charm.

Fantastic location, very close to De Rust town and a stones throw from Oudtshoorn with lots to explore.

We were running very late and only arrived at the property just before 10pm. The host, Colin was so helpful and welcoming and even started the fireplace to warm up the cottage. We can’t fault anything in our stay, the place was spotless and had everything you need. The views were amazing (especially the night sky!) and the peace and quiet was just what we needed to unwind and relax. We will definitely be back and will recommend Peppertree to anyone wanting a peaceful and comfortable stay. We loved everything.

Nothing comes to mind.

The communication with the owner / manager Colin was very good and he went out of his way to assist as with requests we had. The house we stayed in is well equipped and the location was perfect. I would have liked to stay for longer and explore the area a bit, but we planned to only stay one night this time.

It’s quaint off the beaten track and you feel like you on a farm with beautiful views. The dirt road to access property is in good condition for a normal sedan. The owner is very hospitable and we appreciated the little extra touches like coffee, tea, milk, body wash etc.

A most delightful, peaceful and comfortable stay. Surrounded by a private garden, edged with bright bougainvillea, tranquil farmlands and grand mountains. The sunrises and sunsets are a colourful heartfelt display, imbued with the gentle sing song of natural farm life. The house is spacious and has the best selection of books. My family and I enjoyed an evening around the fire, playing board games and watching the stars. There are incredible walks around the surrounds. Immense gratitude

The water didn't regulate evenly in the shower. The road to there was longer than was expecting after taking the off turn and not the best gravel road. Would have been nice to be informed before hand.

Beautiful view, peaceful location, large shower, place for kids to run around, friendly help.

The view and tranquility is great. A moment "too short though" away from the rush of people and traffic is just amazing.

An incredible stay at Pepper Tree Cottage! The location is something out of a postcard, with stunning views of rolling fields and mountains. The rooms were cozy and featured crisp clean linen, the bathrooms were impeccably clean. The amenities were exceptional and added a luxurious touch to the experience. Collin was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, providing top-notch service! A perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. It was a breath of fresh air! Eagerly looking forward to visiting again.
