Balloon View Country Cottage

From arrival, Rivaldo was so welcoming, the place was nice and clean. I had a peaceful stay as a solo traveler from the walks on the river to just relaxing in the pool. And the highlight was watching the hot air balloons in the mornings👌❤️❤️❤️

Pls check spider web on the roof

I liked everything inside the yard

I didn’t like the entrance road it was really bad To the owner kindly fix your road to the gate

The only thing that made the trip worthwhile was the hot air balloons but it's a pity because it's not on their property.

The cleaning service didn't do their best work because there were cobwebs around the room. The mattress was not comfortable, it swallows you and backache was the result. We had to utilise the single bed for the rest of the two nights. I also didn't like swimming while the sheep drank from the pool. The stench of manure was also a big disappointment.

The view

The cold water

A quirky unit in the bush. We like quirky and except for the problems below this would have been right up our alley. We don’t like giving bad reviews but to freeze in winter is not acceptable.

The clear skylight had been painted over so you could no longer see the sky like you can in the photographs. This is a pity because it’s the reason we booked this place. We were freezing in winter. There was only one blanket and there was no hot water in the shower so we froze while trying to shower.

Lovely surroundings! The peace and quiet was exactly what we hoped for. Cottage is well equipped with everything we needed.

Hot water is slightly temperamental but it probably because we weren't use to the gas geyser system.

The view off hot air balloons early in the morning over the valley

The non matching linen and curtains. Small detail make a big difference

The scenery. We'll build structure, cozy and warm

None. Everything was perfect

It was nice very comfortable 🫠🫠 the staff was very friendly and welcoming will visit again 😊

Nothing

There is honesty in their description of the balloon view.

I am well, despite the absence of hiking options in the ward. The ward is relatively small, and I am managing perfectly well.

I loved the location and the peace around me

Small Dustin Not enough cleaning detergent, old sponges, no clothes It was pretty cold heater The shower was freezing Due to the weather we drover in mud

Wow the place it's amazing 👌... watching the balloon near my cottage....service from Adries it's 😋👌

Nothing much..... I love everything

I had my own car parking

The road is slippery The water always be cold We clean for ourselves

No air conditioner Bed smells like dogs

Everything about the Balloon view cottage is amazing. Amazing and an exceptional place to visit. I am definitely coming back again. Everything is as on the pictures. A true hidden gem.

Nothing, everything was just amazing.

Almost everything

The pool. It was not clean

The geaser gave issues on our 1st night but got sorted the next day

I liked how the staff were open to assisting whenever needed ,the facility was clean and it catered to our needs.

The facility did not have wifi .

The place is very tranquil best for peace of mind.

The blanket is a bit small for two people, the flies as well.

It was amazing , great stuff , is beautiful , closer to most things , beautiful area . Safe

They have this shower , water takes time to heat up , if you open cold it becomes cold . Not bad but it delayed us since we were 3 . But it isn’t bad was just annoying and flies those are annoying made it difficult to sleep. Candles or spray or for flies would be awesome

Cleanliness

Andrea the security was really helpfull.

Lovely self catering unit with a beautiful view. The sight of the hot air balloon was amazing. Thanks to Xolani who was a great help during our stay.

Off grid, they mean it. Beautiful place to go and relax.

The location, the peace and tranquility of being in nature

No hot water and complimentary towels

The scenery was lovely and the the one member of staff that help us. This would be a good location for summer

The room was very cold, yes options to rent a heater was there, but one would think for the price you pay it should be a given. Second, our room shower hot water was not working, we had to go to a different place and at first it was also not working and the lovely staff member came to help. Thirdly the remote was not working properly, we had to struggle sometime to open the gate.

The place was clean and Xolani (Care taker), made our stay worthy, BIG UP to him💯

Xolani was Amazing, from the welcome, to showing us our room, the quad biking and being available whenever we needed him…. Balloon view cottage was so clean and had all the necessary items for a self catering. Everything was top 10🥰. We got to see the fire balloons😝

The hot water…this morning just came out for few seconds and was off🥺 but other days there weren't any issues.

If you need a break from the all the hustling and buzzling,you need to go and stay at balloon view country cottage The host were so helpful,the day we that had to leave we had a flat Tyre,we asked the host for assistance,did not think twice he said he will help Place is wonderful,perfect for that alone time with wife Hot air balloons did go up,started the morning with a wonderful sight Thank you for all the memories Hope to see you again very soon May GOD Bless you all

The location. 10/10

The bedding / cover on the main bed was dirty and it had a stench. The bed was however very soft and comfortable. It was cold but there was an extra big comfy blanket so that helped. Would have been great if they filled the gas for the heater.

The area is very beautiful, it has great views and the air is very crisp. The cottage was clean and intimate, the beds were very comfortable as well. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The road leading to the the cottage is gravel and since it was raining it was very muddy, we got stuck in the mud as we were leaving. The shower did not have hot water in the morning and evening although we were told the geyser is always on and it was a very cold weekend.

The cottages are well spaced for extra privacy, the location is great. The large windows allow a 360 degree view. Perfect for a weekend break from the city.

We went on a cold day and there was only one blanket per bed when I called and asked if we can have extra blankets just incase the night gets cold the lady I spoke to said sure she will send someone with blankets but that never happened if only we knew that we had to bring extra blankets we would not been cold that night. There is a gas heater but no gas cylinder provided. The short dirt road is not bad but can get very muddy and slippery when it rains. The bed also needs attention.

The place is quite

The coffee, tea and sugar did not look fresh, m recommending suchats instead.

Very peaceful and quiet,perfect for when you want serenity

Not situated close to other people. Exclusive and private👌🏼

Hot water was temperamental 🫣

No breakfast included, self catering. Location was good.

Nothing

It is beautiful and is nice and quiet

There was no TV or any other means of entertainment for the evenings. The pool was a greenish colour and was difficult to know if it was safe to swim in

The location of the property, the cottage and the beautiful view 😍

Nothing

I loved my cottage.

The pool wasn’t clean I was so disappointed,and I wanted to relax I couldn’t because there were people cutting grass and fixing the property I had to adjust to that noise.

The view and the environment is beautiful not noisy you can find peace

The place inside is not well maintained a lot of insects inside the house mostly flies. The shower is on and off on hot water.

We loved the location and all the amenities available.

The bed was very uncomfortable .

I loved the activities that took place, it’s a very relaxing accommodation.

There were too many flies and bugs in the room. At some point we couldn’t sleep cause of the flies and our food as well at some point had flies flying all over. Please do something about that

The privacy

No proper large enough wiast bin in the kithens No wheely bin or large waist bin outside - had to keep everything in house🙈 and work around it. The sprikle system below the deck were'nt working. The whole drain system are block leainig a bad smell after we used the zink in the kithcen or the in the bathroom. Mattress on bed is totally to soft for a guesthouse. We had a few visits from a German Sherphard - which for sure is not a small breed. The medical kit could just as well not be there. But is you read our feedback on the paper we completed you will get the idea....

I like the outdoor view, it was pleasantly quiet and we were one with nature.

When we got there, there was no power. The room wasn't clean to the best abilities like the shower. There was dust on top of the fridge. The colour coordination is off for me. It was totally disappointing 😞 The shower temperature was not pleasant. It turned hot and cold on its own. The staff on duty didn't answer his phone when we called him. When it was raining, the room was leaking next to the small bed. The picture of the websites did not reflect what we saw.

Very beautiful place...quiet and privacy 10/11 also friendly staff Especially Xolani always available to assist when in need of something.

I was looking forward to see hot air balloons by the cottage side none so it could be due to holidays.

Everything

The fact that there was no one at the gate,had to hoot for a while until someone comes

The fact that there was no WiFi and tv. Perfect for couples to reconnect.

The Balloon cottage - the best . Something different . The minute you enter the property you forget about the city life , the busy life .

The swimming pool.

The room was so hot, the bed was worn out and very not comfortable. Water wasn’t hot.

Everything about the place, mulberries were nice too

Bed was not comfortable

The environment and area, it was peaceful

Nothing

The host was very welcoming and friendly. He was so patient and quick to answer calls/texts. The place was so clean and the vibe was just exceptional

It was very refreshing and it was so nice to see the hot air balloons . I would like to also thank Andrea and Xolani for the good service they provided.

The shower tapes where difficult to operate .

the place is secluded great for a time away to catch a breather. Has great sunset and sunrise views.

getting hot water from the shower is a mession, you have to play around with the tap. open the basin tap on hot then the water comes for a few minutes... the place was dusty the fan and light wasn't cleaned, you get one towel in the bath room.

Location is super nice and silent no noise and its sooo beautiful We cant wait to go back even though we know the place is always fully booked

Unfortunately we ddnt see the Ballons in the morning like we were told we will see them

Everything was really nice my i enjoyed the location

The room get really cold at night and maybe the can consider a tv or radio or WiFi
