We loved the calming aura, location, chickens, proximity to desirable destinations

nothing!

Cute rustic cottage that was the perfect size for our family of three (two adults, one bub). Backed onto a gorgeous river, perfect for a morning dip. Big BBQ and lots of outdoor areas to hang out in. LOVED the book nook bay window, and it's only a short drive away from wineries, small towns with cute cafes and Hanhndorf village. Also Christos was a lovely host, gave us the grand tour at the start and then we were left to enjoy the surroundings!

It's a great place to unwind in a secluded area, but if you're wanting to visit the city alot, you'll require a car to get in (roughly an easy 25/30min drive).

Serene place and very peaceful. Hadn't felt such at peace in a long time. Great house.

Just a personal preference, i like mattresses that are medium-hard in terms of softness. The mattress in here was very soft for my preference.

The rural location is peaceful, and the walk down to the river is lovely. For the fireplace (which was one of the main reasons I picked this place), the host leaves a generous stack of wood cut to size beside the front door.

The biggest 'put-off' for us was the compost toilet in the bathroom, which is detached from the main building. We didn't like having to go out into the cold to go to the bathroom, although it was just as well that it was detached because the compost toilet does smell despite assurances that it wouldn't! It was like having to shower and bathe down on the farm with the animals! The pictures of the furniture, paint, etc., are either from an earlier decade or have been touched up. The place is not as fresh and presentable as it appears in the photos. Overall, we were disappointed because we had paid nearly $400 per night to stay in what we expected would be luxury accommodation. It is a perfectly OK place if you're expecting a rural farm stay level of accommodation. It is NOT if you are led to believe that it's luxury. By minor comparison, but still worth mentioning, it is a bit of a pain to have to open the gate every time you want to get in and out of the property area—it really reminds you how rural it is!
