Rose Mountain Cottage

The location and setup is stunning, it’s scenic and a lovely spot.

The manager/owner was very dismissive of a concern we had. Not as private and secluded as we thought it would be as there is a resident that stays there so you don’t quite feel secluded and private.

Amazing views, peaceful, quiet and we were alone to enjoy a break away, magnificent sunsets

Tiny thing, we can message the owner if they want - so tiny it’s not worth mentioning here

The bed, the view, the hot tub and the fireplace

Great view. Place had everything we needed. Quiet, private, Friendly host.

Comfortable bed Scenic view Clean Peaceful

The road is completely unsuitable and dangerous for a regular car. On the booking.com description, there is no mention on the state of the road. After we'd booked and paid, we received an email that said 'no refund and the road is very bad'. I immediately messaged back to say that we were in a small car and were very worried. We were told that this was not a problem and that it would be safe to proceed. The road was extremely neglected and dangerous. We realized that in the event of requiring help, which was very likely, there was no help available. There is definitely potential for this place to be amazing, but currently, it is very disappointing, and we feel cheated by its misrepresentation. Additionally, these things bothered us: No firewood available Plastic toilet seat Mouldy shower floor No curtains in bedroom In general, it is not up to standard.

Great location and view.

Picturesque views, tranquil, serene and peaceful. Beautifully decorated and crafted cottage with a rustic feel that still offers comfort, quiet glam.

Scenic, picturesque, and cozy. What an amazing little cottage. A perfect home away from home. Ideal for a romantic getaway from city life. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back. 10/10

Beautiful location on side of mountain

Beautiful location

Exquisite location , cosy and lots of character

Everything was just perfect!! Highly recommended. Loved it!

Expansive views across the midlands to the Drakensberg. Relaxed farm vibe, friendly dogs, curious cows. Beautiful rustic aesthetic in decor, artworks and furnishings.

We loved everything -- even though it's a bit off the beaten track, the dirt roads were good, and while the cottage is simple, it had all the basics you need for a comfortable stay. There's no wifi but cellphone reception is great.

Unit was comfortable and well equipped. Enjoyed the fireplace and the solitude.

The view was unbelievable! , super super Cosy cottage has everything you need ...lovely fire place, braai facilities, gas hob...shower was amazing! Woke up to beautiful cows just outside the window and the sun peaking through Hosts are lovely and friendly! Would definitely be back in the future If you're looking for a peaceful get away this is the one, and so much to do around the area if you're keen to drive and explore.

The driveway is quite steep but we made it up with a hyundai i20 (1.2) so not the off road type car but it definitely made it up, like they said keep the revs high and you're good!

The view was phenomenal. Very cozy place with a lovely fireplace. We took a hike up to the top of the hill and enjoyed the endless views from up there. The cottage itself was quaint and comfortable.

The cottage is a bit too closely situated to the owner's house, and their dogs come into the cottage if you let them. We wanted to get away from it all and having the owners and staff and pets come driving / strolling past while sitting on the stoep was not ideal for us. The cottage is not serviced which didn't bug us, but for the price you pay you might expect someone coming in to make beds and wash dishes. Also, there was no braai available to us when we arrived even though it states there is one at the cottage, the owner did bring one after we asked though. There are also no electric blankets but the duvets were warm enough. The fridge is also very old and tiny and doesn't hold a lot, and also doesn't keep groceries cold enough. Thankfully it was a cold weekend so that took care of that.

Very remote location

Maybe add a roof fan to the bedroom

The views from the property are breathtaking! We had very personal and friendly service from the owners and enjoyed sitting outside admiring the view.

Amazingly remote, super cozy and romantic

A super comfortable, rustic & lovely destination with a spectacular view!

We loved everything, it was perfect!

Amazing view and quite location. Perfect if you're wanting to get away from the city.

Small finishes could be improved on

Beautiful view. Peace and quiet. Loved the simplicity. Amazing all round.

Perfect weekend away with the most stunning view! The cottage is clean and super comfortable. It has everything you need for two people and even a little extra (coffee station, firewood, firelighters etc) we went with our newborn and it was so tranquil and private.

The driveway is steep so low cars would definitely struggle.

Self Catering. Magnificent location. Off the busy routes with amazing views over the Drakenberg. Very comfortable and will most definitely visit again in the future. Well worth the visit and will recommend it for anyone that wants peace and tranquility

Nothing it was perfect to our liking

The accommodation was perfect, in beautiful nature. Very well equipped. Brendon and Michel were very helpful. I can only recommend.

A remarkable little rustic and romantic cottage with breathtaking views of the Midlands.

What a stunning little getaway my Husband and I had. The location was perfect, the views were breathtaking, the evening sunset and midnight stars to the morning misty clouds all around us in the morning. Loved the fireplace and glass windows all around. we will def go back. A lovely warm and welcoming cottage in the mountain with everything you need.

What a magnificent little cottage, a hidden gem in the mountains we highly recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect hide out with breathtaking views. Greetings, Heinz and Corlia Beach Forest Lodge, Ballito

The view and the rustic cottage, off the grid, very private

All good

Amazing views, comfortable bed, well equipped, perfect for a relaxed getaway with my hubby

There was nothing not to like :)

The location, the accommodation, and the experience. Beautiful countryside and one of the loveliest spots in the midlands, and to see it all from the top of the mountain is the perfect way to experience it. The cottage is stunning and has everything you need, styled simply with lovely finishes.

All the roads in the area are very temperamental depending on the weather, so it really helps to have an off road car with a lot of clearance

We were looking for a private, mountain getaway to recoup and refresh and Rose Mountain Cottage delivered on every account, with far more than we could have expected. Michelle and Brendon were exceptionally hospitable - fast responses; warm and welcoming but respectful of privacy; and prideful in their magnificent property, going so far as to allow us to roam their farm, including their wedding venue, and enjoy the breathtaking views. We were treated to far more wood than we could use, peace of mind from loadshedding (their property is off the grid), fresh herbs and just a very thoughtfully curated and furnished cottage. We will be recommending to all our friends and to-be-wedded acquaintances and we most certainly will be back.

Absolutely beautiful location, would definitely recommend. Perfect for a quiet weekend or mid-week getaway. Exceptional value for money with very attentive hosts 🌞

The venue was tranquil and the owners are very friendly and go out of the way to make everything amazing. I would recommend Rose Mountain Cottage to anyone and look forward to returning .
