Soetgeluk Farm Cottage

Beautiful and clean

The facilities are beautiful and its secluded and just a beautiful place to get away. The venue is clean, towels and bedding smelt lovely and just all around a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Highly recommend.

Nothing. It was perfect.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was conveniently located very close to Stable View, where we attended a wedding. The heated blankets were a wonderful touch during the cold winter weather, and the property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was spacious, easy to find, and well-equipped. Welma was an exceptionally kind and welcoming host. We would happily stay here again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is a bit dark inside but totally manageable

Very clean and tidy. Had everything we needed for our one night stay. The closest location to the wedding venue Stable View. We didn't get to meet our host Welma but she was very helpful and professional over WhatsApp. Small things like filter coffee, hairdryer, ice etc were noted and appreciated!

Nothing we didn't like, our host warned us about the badly damaged farm roads (due to the recent heavy rains) but it was no problem with a bakkie.

Perfect little place to stay, has everything you need for self catering

Nothing it was perfect

Beautiful place! Neat and clean. The staff and owner are friendly and helpful.

Beautiful place! Comfortable.

Our host was very friendly. The place is so pretty and comfortable. The beds are amazing!

The place is lovely and peaceful, and private, easily accessible from Jhb, and easy to get to. The beds, linen and sitting room furniture are clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. It was nice to have a gas stove since the electricity supply is patchy. Welma has supplied ground coffee as well as rusks and tea, sugar and milk that adds a touch of luxury.

I wished there was a covered stoep attached to the house, and I would have liked to be able to go for walks on the farm, however, we felt, since the place has two electric gates to get in and out of, that perhaps we were not supposed to do so. I understand the braai being away from the house, since there is a thatched roof, but I would have preferred an integrated sitting/braai area.

Communication was quick and clear

Peaceful, spacious & lovely garden

Nothing

Very comfy and cozy. The perfect weekend getaway from the city

Space

Should have 2 bathrooms

We had a wonderful stay! Communication was excellent, and the bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail was outstanding.

The place was near the place I attend a wedding

The thatched roof caused all the beds to be full of dead midgets

Perfect location for the wedding which was at Stable View a stone throw away!

Welma was the sweetest host she was very friendly and welcoming and made sure we enjoyed our stay and gave us flowers 🌹 before we left

This is a very private cottage. Very beautiful inside and outside. This is not just a normal place. Alot of love and effort is put into this cottage very upmarket. I would recommend anyone whether it is for a weekend or a good get away. This cottage is spaces! Book this before you miss out on a amazing stay.

We only slept over for one evening as we were hiking Castle Gorge the following day. The cottage met all our expectations. It was clean, spacious and had special touches like good plunger coffee and rusks. It is safe and secure, and the beds had good linen and were comfortable.

Nothing.

What an amazing gem! We were upgraded to the Altemooi farm stay and it was just gorgeous. Probably the nicest place we've stayed so far: modern, homey, and well equipped, and surrounded by flowers, birds, and all types of antelope who come right near the fence to hang out with you over breakfast 😍

The wifi didn't work for us, but that happens sometimes and it was no problem. I was a little concerned with our rental car going over the couple km of dirt roads to get there, but when we arrived it was TOTALLY WORTH IT. And if our super budget car can do it, anyone can!

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host, Welma, is very friendly and the communication was excellent - quick responses and very helpful with any questions before and during our stay. Overall, great value for money and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

We booked Soetgeluk Farm Cottage but Welma invited us to try out Altemooi Farm Stay instead. It is a beautiful, newly renovated farmhouse that has a well-equipped kitchen, a spacious open-plan dining and lounge area, two lovely bedrooms, a bathroom with a big walk-in shower, a separate toilet, and it features a large veranda with a built-in braai. The kitchen is equipped with all the basics and some extras like a grater, a pizza cutter and measuring cups. Welma also provided tea, coffee, milk and some rusks. We spent most of our time on the veranda, admiring the mountain view, the birds frolicking in the garden, and the njalas and impalas grazing nearby. We started and ended our days outside with a cup of tea or coffee in hand, and had all of our meals there too. We slept in the main bedroom, and could see the springbucks grazing outside during nighttime through the bedroom's window. Welma is a wonderful hostess and we thoroughly enjoyed staying at Altemooi Farm Stay. It was an amazing weekend away from the city's hustle and bustle.

Lovely clean and homely home. Our host Welma was fantastic! @Altemooi Farm Stay is such a wonderful place to stay

Fantastic accommodation, very well equipped and furnished. Every little detail considered. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Be mindful that there's a dirt road leading to the property, but it's in pretty good shape and we were able to drive it (slowly) without a 4x4.

This property was so neat and clean that both my parents were impressed.

Great cottage withe everything we needed for our short stay - fully equipped kitchen, hairdryer, and even an iron and ironing board (which was useful as we were attending a wedding). We also appreciated the electric blankets on the beds. Perfect location to attend a wedding at Stable View next door. And only a 30min drive from Sterkfontein Caves.

Just a note that the cottage does get really cold in winter, and there isn’t any heating - so come prepared. The electric blankets on the beds are awesome and we slept warmly, but we found it a bit cold to relax in the cottage in the afternoon/evening.

Very Neat, beds comfortable, beautiful and restful area.

I would suggest that the one peace seating and table facility outside have more shadow and an exstra toilet will be great😅

The host Welma was very friendly and welcoming, the rooms very spacious and neat. bedding was soft, comfy and super clean smelled good. had everything you need, actually home away from home. I borrowed a potjie pot from the host. will recommend this place to others.

wifi needed network very poor

Clean, neat, everything we needed and more. Extra care to detail to make the stay really goid.

Nothing.

We met the host and received the keys with clear instructions

Weber braai is missing the air plate below so have to put water on the ground to stop coals burning the grass

It was an amazing experience, beautiful cottage with and amazing garden and peaceful with wildlife in abundance

The cottage was beautiful. Everything you can need was there. The garden was stunning and the braai area was just perfect. I enjoyed taking time to listen to the birds early morning the sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. Then of course the fresh air. I needed a weekend away out of the city and this was just perfect. Will come back again.

Nice quite location.

Nothing

Lovely cottage with everything we needed. Very affordable and pleasant owner who was flexible around arrival and departure times and helped with a restaurant recommendation. Comfortable beds and little extras, like filter coffee and rusks.

The bedrooms don't have doors, so privacy is not great, but the owner says she's planning on installing barn doors, which would be a great fix. The lighting could also be better (often an issue in thatch buildings). But we would happily visit again, hopefully after the rains, when everything is less dry and dusty in the region.

Quality of linen, accessories and overall good equipped Security high standard, really felt save

Everything were perfect

Very quiet. Had everything we needed for self catering. Gas stove/ oven. They provided extra touches like tea, coffee, milk, rusks, sugar, sunlight soap. Lovely farm to walk on.

It’s so beautiful… well kept, has everything you need..

The shower was amazing

The pin location took us to a completely different place. Use Google Maps instead of Maps

Spacious, well equipped with some small extras rhat made it excellent. Secure and clean. Enjoyed our stay !

Secluded location with lovely surroundings. Cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable self-catering breakaway. Warm welcome by host and special extras like filter coffee and rusks were a real treat

We only stayed overnight after attending a wedding nearby. The facility is actually suitable and has everything one need for a longer self catering stay. The home can sleep 6 people. We only used one room for 2. Facilities are great and kitchen is well equipped. We should have stayed longer and use the self catering facilities and explore the area more.

We only used 1 room that sleeps 2 (Double bed). The entire house can sleep 6 people with 2 separate rooms (double beds) and section in the living room modified with a privacy screen to accommodate 2 more people on single beds. If privacy is your thing you will not be totally happy as there is no ceiling in the house and the rooms are divided with walls that does not go up all the way to the thatched roof. We were only to and any snoring in the next room did not bother. The house is however perfect with more than enough space.

It is an awesome farm like stay with wonderful hostess, we even got to see her flowers!! Thank you Welma, for a very nice experience!! Will definitely stay there again anytime.

Clean and beautiful little farm house

We enjoyed staying at Soetgeluk Farm Cottage. Everything was clean and neat. The garden is lovely with freshly cut grass. This place is a lovely place and we'll definitely return for another stay there.

Lovely cottage with braai facilities. The host pays attention to detail to ensure a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. Everything was clean and the cottage is very spacious.

Just to flag there is no bath (just a shower). Some air conditioning or a fan would have been great as it was very hot!

This is a cute cottage, well-decorated and has a well-equipped kitchen with everything you might need for your stay. Nice hikes and other activities are within a short drive away.

The cottage is isolated so you will need to drive to get to stores or hiking or other destinations, but you can walk around the farm it's on which has beautiful mountain views.

Very spacious, clean and comfortable.

Love love loved this amazing location. Wow I would work from home from here. Amazing host, amazing house. 👏 will be back. Peace, tranquility, safe, beautiful...absolutely amazing
