Everything about the accommodation is excellent, we could not have asked for more, super clean warm and comfortable beds, super crisp white linen and warm duvets on the beds, there were lots of lamps etc. supplied in all the rooms to cope with the load shedding, including a two burner gas stove for emergencies. freshly bakes scones are delivered daily to the cottages, please remember to bring your own butter and jam to enjoy them! \The kitchen is very well equipped, and our cottage overlooked the dam so we had super views, wonderful bird watching opportunities. I would recommend Coot Cottage
Everything was perfect, could not be improved upon!

Location. Pleasantly rustic. superb walks in close proximity. Very friendly staff and lovely scones in the morning.
Buildings and facilities a little tired (paving outside our unit especially). Bars across some of the windows would go a long way to resolving the baboon problem and constant concern of invasion.

Quite a rainy period that caused damp conditions.

Clean and comfortable bed, kitchen well stocked.
It was difficult reaching the manager before arrival. Bath in need of re-enameling. Outdoor area for braai is sub standard and so is the view. Not sure why Rose cottage is priced higher than the other that sleeps two.

Mkomozana is a quiet, peaceful haven on the Sani Pass road. It's a beautiful location in the mountains. The manager is very friendly and helpful and the scones in the morning are to die for!
Parts could do with some maintenance but that's a minor quibble.

We loved the tranquility and being surrounded by mountains.
Betty gave us a warm welcome and gave us advice on restaurants and activities.
It was great that the Sani pass tour vehicle could pick us up at our accommodation and that we did not have to travel to Underberg to join the tour.
The bathroom door latch was difficult to close and open so we used a piece of carton between the door and frame to close which was easier. The bathroom window did not have a latch so we had to close the window because of the baboons and therefore the bathroom could not be ventilated before we went out for the day.

We liked the history behind the place as well as the peaceful setting. The Bar area was very unique and inviting. The host is very friendly and helpful and we got freshly baked scons in the morning. :)
Lack of WiFi reception in the rooms. There is poor phone reception,but you have to consider that you're in the nature and a very rural setting.

Location and setting is ideal for a quick escape from the city life. The peace and serenity is unmatched. Tucked away in the hills, you can't help but leave the city life behind you and take in the fresh air and magnificent views that surrounds you. Take a step back in time when life wasn't complicated. Forget about technology when you're here, this setting allows you to connect with your family and friends on a more meaningful level. Chill by the fireplace with a glass of your favourite potion and just unwind. Hosts are friendly and accommodating and make you feel right at home.

Only improvement would be to replace the bed mattresses, otherwise everthing else was fantastic.
