    I have a sensitive back, so the bed and pillows didn't work for me. Not the accommodations fault at all.

    The location is perfect. Although everything is close, this spot puts you in the middle of town. Very safe and secure (I was traveling alone this time). Absolutely everything you need is there! Fully equipped kitchen, bathroom had ur necessary toiletries in case you forgot your shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. Electric blanket and an aircon ensured there was no chance of me getting cold. 😊 The breakfast was superb!!!👌🏼

    What a truly lovely warm welcome from Vicky. Thank you for your lovely warm welcome and was so lovely meeting you. The accommodation is set in these wonderful old homes with wooden doors and lovely touches of years gone by. All rooms and bedding towels and amenities are very well appointed. Also a very big thank you to Mary-Anne for the most wonderful breakfast. We highly recommend this property for the efficient friendly service and location.

    The property need some TLC in terms of paint, water damage, etc., but nothing major. We would prefer a flat sheet, rather than a duvet. The aircon did help with the heat in the room, but we prefer not to sleep with an aircon, due to health reasons.

    Stunning, typical old Karoo building.

    Just a suggestion- Although the property was well equipped, I suggest that soft duck feather pillows should also be available for a more comfortable night’s rest for guests that do not prefer the firm foam pillows.

    Beautifully restored property in a peaceful area. The friendly hostess welcomed us upon arrival and made us feel at home. Graaff-Reinet never disappoints!

    We would have loved a pool as it was so hot while we were there.

    We had a lovely stay at Cypress Cottages. Nicky was very welcoming. Veronica cooked and served us delicious breakfasts each morning. The garden was very peaceful to sit in on the hot afternoons.
