The Cottage 39 Steyn

Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Alles sauber und ordentlich. Teri war sehr freundlich und sympathisch. Sie hat uns viele Informationen über den Ort gegeben und einen Tisch im Restaurant in der Nähe reserviert. Der Kamin war an bei der Rückkehr. Vielen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wären gerne länger geblieben.

The peaceful, tranquil environment. The very warm welcome. All our needs were taken care of. The fruit and cheese straws were a lovely extra treat.

Prachtige sfeervolle accommodatie. Lokatie perfect. Lopend naar het centrum van Barrydale. Rustig gelegen. Fantastische hosts die ons hebben geholpen toen we het nodig hadden. We kwamen laat aan en Terri had de haard opgestookt zodat het lekker warm was in huis. Er stond een welkomssnack klaar.

The garden and house were beautiful and super comfy. The decor was quirky and arty. It was lovely to stay in a place that was individual - it made it special!

I couple of the dishes weren't washed properly

Really friendly owner, lovely pool with view and bright airy property that was spotlessly clean - amazing olives too!!

A mosquito net would have been a great addition although plug in repellent was provided and worked well

The cottage is set on 2 levels, with the bedroom in a loft above the lounge and the kitchen. It is very tastefully decorated with numerous eclectic and funky South African decorations and artifacts. It is right next to the hosts' main house and set at the end of the driveway adjacent to the garden. There is a wood-burning stove that helps on cold nights and makes the space very cozy, and together with the thoughtful lighting, it is very pleasant.

The garden felt quite unkempt and unruly. We had hoped to use the swimming pool, but it was too dirty and slimy, which was disappointing given that it was advertised as a feature. Access to the loft bedroom is difficult for anyone who struggles with steep stairs.

Der Gastgeberin stehen 10 Punkte zu allerdings sind leider die bereits genannten Erfahrungen der anderen Urlauber auch von uns gemacht worden.Man sollte bei der Buchung beachten das es eine recht enge Treppe zu den Schlafräumen in den ersten Stock geht. Für gebrechliche Personen nicht geeignet. Super netter Empfang der Gastgeberin steht jederzeit mit tollen Tipps zur Verfügung. Wie erwähnt würden wir nur die Gastfreundschaft bewerten eine glatte 10.

Mückenplage, fehlende Liegen am Pool,

L'accueuil et la gentillesse de l'hôtesse. Le calme, la sérénité.

Great location, good space, nice decor and friendly hosts bearing gifts and recommendations.

Quit location with privacy. Terry is very friendly and showed us all the oportunities of barrydale. The room is equiped with nice furnitures and a fireplace. The terrace faces the garden. The stairway to the bedroom is quite steep but managebale

C’était un vrai bonheur de loger au 39 Steyn: un cottage plein de charme, meublé avec soin et goût, moderne, lumineux, bien équipé, au calme et proche du centre de Barrydale qui est aussi très charmant. C'était un séjour magnifique et je regrette que je n'ai pas pu rester plus longtemps!

Beautifully decorated cottage. Will definitely come again

The upstairs bedroom can be difficult for some people, but the advertisement does mention it.

We really enjoyed our overnight stay in this very cozy and clean cottage as well as our very helpful and friendly hosts.

We did not stay long enough :(

Wir hatten mit 39 Steyn eine exzellente Unterkunft. Die Kommunikation mit Terry war sehr gut. Die Lage des Cottage war ruhig in einer Nebenstraße in wunderbar ausgestattet. Die Küche hatte alles, was man brauchte. Super sauber komfortabel. Bequeme Sitzmöglichkeiten auf der eigenen Terrasse mit einem zusätzlichen Grillplatz- wo auch schon da war zum grillen. Alles in allem eine Mega gute Unterkunft.

Auf der Veranda sitzen in der Abendsonne. Das kurze schwimmen in dem großen Schwimmbecken

Bett könnte etwas größer sein . Die Mücken 🫣

Nettes kleines , sehr sauberes und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtetes Cottage in friedlicher Umgebung. Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, die viele Tipps für den Aufenthalt geben konnte und uns mit ein paar leckeren Kleinigkeiten empfangen hat. Parkplatz direkt am Haus.

Beautiful accommodations and friendly host.

We hebben een geweldig verblijf gehad bij Teri, we voelde ons erg welkom en in het huisje ontbrak het aan niks. Het huisje is zeer smaakvol ingericht en bij aankomst had ze gezorgd voor wat lekkers, erg attent! Het huisje was bijzonder schoon. Op het terras kan je een heerlijk wijntje oud drinken en genieten van het weidse uitzicht. De auto kon geparkeerd worden naast het huisje. Kortom, een aanrader voor een bezoek aan Barrydale!

Terry is a fantastic host, the cottage is beautifully decorated, attention to detail. We were welcomed with a snackplatter of olives and cheese straws. We loved Meisie, the owner's friendly dog. Will be back at this gem!!

The warm welcome from Teri. The beautiful interior design. Inviting stoep with braai facility. Fantastic shower. Very comfortable bed! Teri gave us wonderful recommendations regarding restaurants and outdoor activities. Last but not least , the tasty cheese straws, homemade by Teri's partner!

There's nothing not to like! It's the perfect home away from home! We have been here many times and are already looking forward to our next stay! Thanks very much Teri! Sonja and John

The accommodation was awesome and the quietness was bliss

Clean,neat and peaceful

Wir haben uns im Cottage sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Gastfreundschaft von Terry war enorm. Besonders gut gefallen hat uns auch die individuelle Einrichtung des Cottage. Und wir haben gern Zeit auf der Terrasse verbracht mit Blick auf die schöne Landschaft.

We arrived prior to our book in time and Teri went out of her way to accommodate us. The hand made olives and cheese sticks were unexpected and delicious. The cottage is tastefully decorated and swimming pool is particularly excellent with beautiful views of the mountains. Definitely worth a return visit.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage 39 Steyn ..It was clean comfortable with great hostesses

Sehr gemütliche Unterkunft in ruhiger Umgebung, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank an Terri für den Apero und die Tipps. Gut eingerichtete Küche mit allem was man braucht

We’ve been on holiday in South Africa for several weeks and this has been my favourite stay. The cottage is beautiful - an artistic, tranquil open plan, light filled space. The living area is super comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped (and the homemade snacks on arrival were thoughtful and welcoming touch!) Stairs lead to the upstairs bedroom which again is a light filled, comfortable space. The highlight of my afternoon was a dip in the pool before unwinding on the veranda - a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the views and quiet surroundings. Just fabulous! In terms of location, the cottage is ideal, with shops and restaurants a short, safe 10 min walk away. If you’ve got the browsing time, don’t miss House of Books (located on Van Riebeeck Street). It’s a place where the books will find you if one is prepared to give it the time.

That we only booked one night!

Great setting and very quiet and quaint.

The mattress wasn't the most comfortable, but that could just be me. Everything else was excellent and well appointed.

Great location,peaceful,beautiful and lovely view. Hosts were wonderful,very helpful and thoughtful.

Super host. Comfortable accommodation in nice setting close to restaurants and shops. Great break away from the hustle and bustle. Never got to use the pool but looked great.

We self catered but had access to basics like milk sugar jam etc

Could have had a little more space to put clothes

The Cottage on Steyn is a most charming spot to stay with lots of space, great facilities, even a terrific fire for a chilly evening: and host Teri could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Thank you!

Nothing I didn't like

Io e mio marito abbiamo trascorso 3 notti qui e il soggiorno è stato perfetto, Teri e Ren ci hanno fatto sentire a casa con la loro simpatia e ci hanno fornito utili consigli su cosa visitare (oltre l'ottima insalata del loro orto). Il cottage è immerso in un giardino che esplode di fiori, lavanda e glicine profumano l'aria, il patio esterno è perfetto per rilassarsi e godersi una cena preparata nel barbecue e consumata a lume di candela. L'interno del cottage è sapientemente arredato per rilassare l'ospite, colori chiari, tanta luce, morbido divano, stufa a legna, bagno con doccia perfetta e letto nel soppalco comodo e confortevole. La mattina un coro di uccellini funge da sveglia, per il resto solo pace e silenzio. Un posto che resta nel cuore per sempre.

Everything was perfect! The home-made cheese sticks are probably to best in the world !

The fireplace, enough space and bed upstairs. Our host was super and the welcome snack was appreciative

Nothing

Excellent location. Beautiful decor. Overall a very comfortable stay. Hosts were great! Cottage is wonderfully private with all the necessary amenities - microwave, gas burner, hair dryer, and a well equipped kitchen. Would very happily stay again.

Nothing.

Self catering. Fully equipped

Can't think of anything I did not like.

Great location, quiet & serene

Warm welcome. Cozy cottage. Everything you need is in place.

Very bright and welcoming. Simply but beautifully furnished with lovely and some quirky art. A very adequate kitchenette with everything needed to cook a great meal.

The warm welcome of Teri made us realise we have come back home. It was our second stay. From the homemade cheese straws to the delicious olives, a lovely fireplace, very comfortable bed and excellent shower- this lovely cottage offers everything you could ever wish for. We highly recommend it - and can't wait to hopefully book again soon.

There's absolutely nothing not to like!!!

The property was set in a petty garden and we had use of the swimming pool. Teri, the owner, was very friendly and gave us helpful information about walking trails; she even gave us a lift to the start of one route. There are good trails in close proximity, so it was nice to avoid having to drive. There were extremely comfortable sofas and chairs and the living/dining area was spacious. Everything was spotlessly clean and a lot of thought clearly goes into the whole thing --- tasty snacks and fresh milk were waiting for us when we arrived, and Teri provided plenty of recommendations for eating out. There is a great second-hand bookshop in town. We will definitely stay again!

Nothing

Charming place and completely equipped with everything you need. Very comfortable, wonderful swimming pool and great hostess.

A charming cottage beautifully designed and well equipped in an idyllic countryside setting! We enjoyed every minute and wished we could have stayed longer. Teri and Ren are most hospitable, gracious hosts. The village is very charming and has a couple really good restaurants. We had a dinner at MUD (Teri's recommendation) and the Karoo Lamb was delicious. Great base for exploring the area and relaxing.

We had such a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. They even made dinner renovations for us. We will definitely be back soon!

Teri is a wonderful host and gave us great recommendations. We loved the living space decorated with a lot of eye to detail and some reminders to Ghana. We got a little welcome snack and the kitchen was really well equipped. We were able to swim in their pool with a lovely sundown view and used to braai for dinner.

Wish we could have stayed here longer to slow down and enjoy calm village life!

Near Central Town, which suited me. Cottage very private and spacious.

There is no Aircon, but the cottage has a very high ceiling and windows on both side which ensured that the heat was never a problem. Cool down very quickly in the evenings.

Everything! It is located in an idyllic setting and the property itself is beautiful. It is very artfully and tastefully decorated. It is also extremely comfortable, bright and airy! The hosts are amazing and do kind and helpful. It is one of our favourite properties not only in South Africa but in the world (and we travel a lot).

Beautifully furnished and decorated cottage. Warm and welcoming, helpful and very supportive hosts. Peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

Everything. Beautiful cottage and lovely host

The hosts,Teri & and Ren, were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. What a privilege to have stayed at The Cottage.

There was nothing negative to say.

Friendly and welcoming hosts and atmosphere, stunning setting and well equipped property

N/A

Fantastic unique place superb location every thing Perfect for us and the lovely hosts welcomed us Excellent would highly recommend!

We were welcomed with a tasty little snack plate on arrival. The host offered to book us dinner reservations before we arrived and assisted us in our selection. Go to Karoo Daisy - it’s worth a visit or two!

Additional touches such as olive and cracker platter on arrival, fresh apricots. Such a kind personal welcome.

Nothing..... our stay was unfortunately too short

Everything

N/a

The attention to detail inside the room was incredible. There were snacks available upon arrival. Everything was well thought out, everything we needed was available for use. For example, wood for the fire, firelighters, lighter, serviettes and everything else you could think of. They even catered for entertaining yourself such as reading materials. The hostess was super helpful with giving us recommendations where to eat and where to visit.

Nothing to add here.

This is a lovely, neat, and well-equippes cottage with plenty of character in the fine details of its interior decor. On our first evening, we were spoiled with delicious cheese and crackers to enjoy with our cocktails on the patio. Wonderful coffee and rusks were also set out for us in the kitchen. Our hostess made fantastic recommendations for restaurants and local attractions to visit.

Teri was a fantastic and attentive host without being intrusive, the accommodation is perfect for a peaceful country getaway, a definitive must to unwind and just get away from it all. We will be returning for a longer stay to do this amazing location the justice it deserves.

Nothing to dislike at all.

The cottage is beautiful and very comfy.

Such a lovely cozy little cottage and the fireplace was already going when we got there which we really appreciated as it was FREEZING outside. Also appreciated the little tray with cheese sticks, olives, etc

Lovely comfortable accommodation, warm welcome and close to amenities. Lots of room inside for a couple with a lounge and dining area for two plus an inside fireplace which kept us warm as our visit was in winter.

Nothing to add here

The Cottage is absolutely charming. Very spacious and beautifully decorated. A wonderful fireplace, which was lit by Teri, the host, before our arrival. Homemade salt sticks as well as olives and tapenade were put there for us to enjoy!

Nothing. The place is perfect ! Teri, our host, was very helpful with recommendations.

The fire place was excellent! The olives and chhese and biscuits as a welcome - nice!!

Because of age - sometimes felt a little unsafe on the steps.

The cottage has a lovely ambiance, light and airy. The wood burner heater was brilliant. The host was very welcoming and helpful without being intrusive.

We had an amazing stay, everything was great

Needs bit more cleaning from spiderweb and apiders in bathroom, problem with mosquito's keeping awake at night. Otherwise, this is a gem of a place.

Our entire stay was pleasant

Excellent.

A problem for us was that the suitcases had to remain downstairs and there was insufficient space for putting out two suitcases comfortably.

Relaxed, enjoy it

None

Such a charming cottage. It’s small - only suitable for a couple or close friends who are happy to share a bed (but from memory they do say this) but TOTALLY charming. Beautiful decor and a lovely swimming pool (that you share with the hosts) and a perfect base to explore Barrydale.

What a hidden little gem this cottage is and we were met by a lovely lady & very helpful, ideal stop over if you don’t want to do the N62 all in 1 day.

Apartment just needs a radio as there is no TV and its extremely quite.
