Dieu Donne Cottage

Beautiful cottage, secluded but felt safe. Well equipped for self catering. Fireplace was amazing.Stunning dam for fishing and canoeing

Gravel road from the main road to the property, short distance but maybe an issue of you have a small low vehicle

Amazing location! Tranquil, peaceful and all amenities you need.

Almost nothing. It was an awesome stay!

Location and tranquility. Cottage was very comfortable.

No beer glasses or larger red wine glasses. The shower water kept fluctuating between hot and cold.

Lovely cottage which is much more spacious than it looks on the photos. Incredible views over the dam and mountains. Excellent location for travellers to Sani Pass or just to enjoy a quiet breakaway. Loved the hot shower and comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen and wifi worked consistently.

There is a short dirt road from the main road to the cottage, but it is traversable by a normal car driving cautiously - not a complaint; just something to be aware of if you have a very low rise car.

Big open space and nice big house

Didn't catch anything in any of the dams.

Amazing scenery in a lovely quiet farm

What a wonderfully peaceful, gorgeous farm stay.....Georgia have us excellent directions and not another sole in sight (perfect), apart from the very gorgeous dairy cows in the distant fields. It's was cold, but wood supplied for the indoor fireplace quickly warmed the cottage because of the double glazed windows and doors. After an evening bbq overlooking the lake, the beds were very comfortable and we slept like logs. So quiet.

Einmalige, traumhafte Lage, ganz allein an einem See.

Location was superb

cleanliness needs to Improve

Location outstanding. Simplicity.

Small things, no lap for washing up.Old scouring pad.Could do with little coffee tables. Boats need quite a lot of love.

The scenery is absolutely beautiful, with a whole peaceful lake just for yourself. The cabin is well equipped, and we had such a lovely weekend here with our two dogs.

The only thing to note is that the road to the cabin isn’t very friendly for cars with a low clearance, so just keep that in mind if you’re driving.

Pristine location. Perfect solitude, breathtaking beauty.

A big house could have used an extra heat source in the winter. But the fire in the lounge was very cosy.

Very efficient fireplace.

The location is fantastic I wish we could stay longer

My sinuses does not like Thatched roofs, but thats just nit picking.

Location perfect 😘

The bath rooms has now shelves or hanging hooks . Wet shower not for me. But over all . Very comfortable. The right place to unwind and re charger.

There were no fish caught in teh dam.

The location is magnificent, the bird life is a real bonus.

I would have loved a few more spare blankets in the cupboard.

Location is exceptional. Very quiet and isolated.

The sheer beauty and isolation of a very well equipped cottage, with its very own lake is unmatched. The completely modern and brand new appliances was awesome. Canoeing on the lake just completed a most beautiful stay. Our Labrador Jinx was with us, and she loved the space of a large enclosed garden for her. A definite 10/10.

There was nothing not to like. The only slightly scary thing was crossing the Dam wall in a low sedan car when it was raining and the water was high. However we made it, and it added to the adventure. An awesome stay.

The location is absolutely stunning—peaceful, surrounded by nature, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our dogs had a fantastic time exploring the spacious, fenced-in garden around the cottage. The views of the dam from the bedrooms and lounge were breathtaking. The cottage itself was cozy and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed. We also appreciated the generous supply of firewood and charcoal for braaing. A truly wonderful stay!

There was nothing to dislike about our stay! We did have a little trouble reaching the host and locating the property initially, but thankfully, we were able to find someone at the farmhouse to assist us. Having a backup contact number would be a great addition for extra peace of mind.

Stunning home next to the dam. Beautiful setting and there is nobody else anywhere near. Need to spend more than a day there to enjoy all the facilities available - trout fishing, hikes and canoeing.

Quiet surroundings, comfortable accommodation, simple but stylish decor. Canoe available for a paddle on a huge dam. Hostess very accommodating.

I would add another couch for sitting inside at fireplace and more indigenous plants on the property.

The host was prompt in answering our questions, and what was missing on the first day was provided afterwards, Kayaks were available and we really enjoyed making use of them! The facilities were amazing and we will certainly recommend and return if we are in the area! It was quiet, we had the whole property and lake to ourselves and we felt very safe.

Getting to the property was a bit of an adventure. A car without high clearance could be tricky and as we arrived after rains, we were only able to access the property via the farm itself and not the usual way over the dam wall. Certain basics were not available and we even had to buy salt and pepper. Also, there are no screens on the windows (so you can't leave the windows opwn in the evening) and no fans. Most nights it wasn't a problem and it is naturally cool, but one night it was a bit stiffling and hot.

Really beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. Close to icon Sani Pass and other hiking.

We loved the feel and look. It is well equiped, with attention to detail. Sani pass is closeby.

We liked everything!

-The quietness! -Really well fenced - dogs had freedom to run around the cottage garden. -The location was perfect…right on the water’s edge with a wonderful view of the (snow covered) mountains. Getting there was easy too…just an easy drive from Underberg.

Nothing!

liked the space, access to the lake. secure property. friendly host. liked that they cleaned and restacked the fireplace each day.

needs a plunger coffee maker as coffee is needed for those cold mornings.

Good Day, The bathroom was not well designed as the shower water wets the floor, the toilet seat is loose, no place to put a toilet bag let alone clothing.

The location, the scenery and the accommodation

The location is spectacular and quiet

What an incredible place to stay - I LOVED it! The team behind the cottage - Georgia, Steve and the farm manager, Madison - were all exceptional. Friendly, helpful and prompt to reply. The cottage itself exceeded all my expectations - it was beautiful, had all I needed, super comfy and clean too. I couldn't bear to leave. The location is just amazing!

The farm road to the cottage is a little rough for a small hire car and it was a little isolated for a woman alone - but I'd go back in a heartbeat. It would also be lovely to have the option of some basics in the cottage (even if for a small fee) - if you are arriving by plane, having to go to the shop and buy salt, sugar, coffee, tea, oil etc can add up and is bulky/ tricky to take back.

The mansion is beautiful and its location near the pound is fabulous. The place is wild, yet not so far from a city which is convenient and close to a nice golf course. Georgia was very efficient in guiding us to reach the place. It was difficult to leave the place!..

There is only one wood fire place to heat the whole house and it could be a bit of a concern during the cold season. Hopefully the conforters are extra thick and warm

The surrounding farm is large and expansive with a variety of places to walk and meander. The dam in front of the house is suitable for canoeing, fishing and swimming! The main house was spacious and well equipped. Property is secluded and quiet. Beds are very comfortable. Manger was communicative and helpful!

The house had a few maintenance issues that could be addressed such as loose doorhandles in bathroom and lights however I am sure the owners will address this. The braai area does not have a roof or covering making it less useful during rainy days. I would really have loved a non-stick pan in the kitchen. None of these issues really impact the quality of the stay at all however.

Dieu Donne Cottage is a beautiful place. I loved the fact that the Cottage was fully fenced yet you still had access to the dam at your doorstep. This was ideal for my dog who could roam and play as she wished. The scenery is amazing. All the staff and owners were so good to us and always to helpful with are request to make purchases from the dairy. We will definitely be back. Our parents had an amazing stay as well. Sani pass was a very nearby drive.

Loved everything! Even extended my stay.

The peaceful surroundings and the way everything was set out for our arrival.

Lovely, secluded spot with a super friendly host!

The host is friendly, available and very helpful. Beautiful setting and views. The house has all the necessary amenities and more. They even supply you with firewood and fire starters for the outside braai or if you want to use the fire place inside.

There was nothing that we did not like.

This is a very comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting. Great for getting away from everything, relaxing and connecting with nature.

Beautiful scenery, comfortable and clean.The host is very helpful and friendly.

Road access via the dairy can be frustrating with opening and closing gates in muddy conditions. However the secondary entrance via a river crossing suited my adventurous side.
