Melkhout Farm Cottage

Rooms very comfortable and kitchen utensils very good and a very nice touch with fresh milk, bread and butter. Hot tub was a pleasant experience.

Boma braai a bit challenging could be better with a barrel braai. Many flies to contend with however it is a dairy cattle farm and therefore understandable.

Comfortable house

It does say it is a stay on a farm, but the house is right in the middle of the dairy cows' mustering paddock. You have to like being very close to a lot of cows.

Spacious, clean, extremely well equipped, good coffee, rusks, a gorgeous bread…. Too much to mention

Nothing

Melkhout is n the perfect break away, with everything you need.

De mooie locatie

De hottub was vies. En de vliegen van het vee, maar dat is onoverkomelijk dus acceptabel.

The property is comfortable and as advertised. It is well equipped and the outdoor hot tub was a bonus. It is centrally located in the Robertson Valley with easy access to the wine farms and local towns.

We did not appreciate that it was located directly next to a sizeable dairy.

Perfect location. Quiet and peaceful.

a little bit exposed to staff could have more firefighters 4x4 trail needs to be maintained a bit better

Beautiful cottage. We loved the cows. The bread,butter and milk that was provided were delicious,thank you so much. The hot tub was also a treat. Would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Loved all the facilities/appliances, especially the electric blankets on all the beds. Everything was new, spotless & pristine.

Could perhaps provide some/little wood for the fireplace. Maybe just a welcome w/app message & mention time to check out, didn't see time for checking out when I made booking.

A wonderful cottage,perfect location.Kitchen stocked with all essentials and more! Fresh creamy milk was the best

Absolute nothing

Beautiful house and great views. Dam nearby, mountains in the distance

We had electricity issues for a day but that was an Eskom issue. The hosts were alert and provided what we needed, the stove/oven was gas and the gas could be activated with a lighter which was provided. All text messages were responded to immediately - great communication. So what I didn’t like actually was what I did like. Lots of flies because cows are part of the farm. But there are fly screens and warnings about keeping only screen covered windows open. Walking in the property, we found that the fly issue is only relevant to the farm cottage.

The house was beautiful, from the furnishings to the location it was all stunning! Elzette was excellent with communication and made sure we were comfortable. Thank you.

There was nothing we didn’t like, it was all wonderful! Although sometimes the flies could get annoying but that’s to be expected when you are staying on a working farm.

Melkhout is set in a beautiful location on a dairy farm but you have full privacy without any disturbances. It was fully fitted out with everything you need for a hassle free breakaway. Love the little touches of farm produce in the cottage from the owners.

Nothing in particular

The cottage was absolutely lovely decorated, clean, and with the most beautiful views!

- all was perfect.

Everything

Nothing

Beautifully kept. Everything you need is here. Secure garden and loved the hot tub and sitting under the huge pepper trees. The sounds of the Jersey cows are so peaceful and they are wonderful to watch.

Nothing

Too many to mention. The fresh milk and butter in the fridge. Bread and eggs on the kitchen table upon arrival. Beautiful linens and towels. An extremely peaceful and relaxing country stay.

A table for drinks and snacks in the tv area would be nice. But everything else was provided for.

Cosy, homely cottage with a SPECTACULAR view. Sunrise/sunset we greatly looked forward too! We were unsure on what our view would be and took a chance in hope it was beautiful. It truly was! A mountain range view across the farmland. Very comfortable, clean and the hosts kindly leave fresh milk, butter and bread. Very much appreciated for these generous tokens. The milk was DELICIOUS! Well stocked kitchen with your essentials. The bathroom was very tastefully decorated! We absolutely loved our stay and wished we could have stayed for longer.

We were confused with the photos in the listing as we didn’t realise the photos on booking.com are of two separate houses. So we were expecting a different layout and styling. We were a first disappointed with the confusion but soon fell in love with this cute cottage. The flys were an issue but this is not the hosts fault and whilst being on a working farm we expected them. But if flys annoy you this could be something to take note of. We didn’t use the jacuzzi or sit outside much because of it.

Just lovely and well presented the bathroom the kitchen the bed all were great

Would have liked to have met the owners felt a little impersonal. But that’s probably just me , I like people

Loved it! We will for sure make another booking in future. Real working farm, such a beautiful view and the house is so tastefully decorated with great attention to detail.

We loved EVERYTHING about this property! The cottage is so well equipped and beautifully furnished and decorated. Stunning extras like freshly baked bread and farm butter, rusks, coffee, etc. just made our stay even more amazing! Comfortable beds, luxury linen and towels, peaceful setting, kid friendly - stunning view of the mountains through the kitchen window. We will be back!

Everything is perfect! Exceptionally clean, great design, amazing location. I love it!

It was clean, bed was comfortable. Nicely decorated and well furnished. Small touches like a complementary loaf of ciabatta was much appreciated and tasty.

Nothing come to mind

Beautiful house, amazing decor!

Its on a farm, so it smells a little like that but there is a lot of things to improve that

Lovely place to stay. Clean and well maintained with some thoughtful touches. It was a last minute booking but they still managed to have everything ready and a welcome Ciabatta on the table.

Quite a long dirt road to get to the farm - manageable with a normal car but worth noting.

We absolutely LOVED everything about the cottage and the farm lifestyle. The little touches of fresh bread, butter and super delicious farm fresh milk added to the welcoming farmstyle feeling. Elzette and Henk are warm and welcoming hosts. Elzette has provided top end finishes in all the bedrooms, kitchen and stunning bathroom. Missing this fabulous accommodation already and setting up another weekend away soon. Thank you to the both of you.

The visit was just too short 😢

The cottage is beautiful. The decor is well thought out and everything you need is at the house.

The cottage is right next to the cow shed and the milk parlor that starts at 5 am in the morning. The flies were the worst. They were everywhere. The smell from the cow paddocks was also really bad. Cow dung everywhere. Can’t open windows.
