The cottage is spacious, well equipped, comfortable beds, all set in a serene and peaceful surrounding. Renee is always ready to help and please to make your stay memorable.
A perfect spot to unwind and become part of nature. Highly recommended. Thank you Renee."

"A pleasant comfortable oasis after a long days drive. The setting with mountains to keep you company. The relax around the braai fire with a cold one finished off the day perfectly."

"We loved the setup of the house. Could look into getting WiFi so there is signal. "

"We had an amazing stay - in fact we were back just the next week. Rene is a wonderfull host. So thoughtfull and caring. Gairtney farm cottage is in fact a house with everthing you need to make your stay super! "

"The accommodation was very comfortable and spacious.
We really felt welcome as even the table was set for 2 people with crockery cutlery and wine glasses. "

"Ek en my man het ongelukkig net 1 nag op Gairtney gebly. Na 'n vermoeiende dag oor passe was die afklim by Gairtney salwend vir die liggaam en gees. Alles, en meer, was daar wat ons nodig gehad het.

"A very nice place to relax with a friendly hostess- very helpful- lovely guesthouse -good for a longer stay"

"A real pleasure to stay in this roomy, well equippedfacility and meeting such friendly hosts!

Highly recommended for peace and quiet.

Traversing the Jouberts pass from Lady Grey a must."

"My stay was short and meant to just be a break after a 10 hour drive and another 7 on the road the next day. And it was perfect. Quite, calm, in nature and the most wonderful milk for my coffee! Thank you."

"A wonderful place to stay with plenty to see and a good birding area. The hospitality cant be better and the fresh farm milk is something out of this world for us from the city.Will be staying there again if I am in the area and will definitely recommend to my family and friends."

"Very beautiful place, just hard to find especially at night. The guest house is amazing with everything you would need and was a great place to stay. Would encourage a bigger sign on the main road to help lost travelers."

"Had a friendly welcome and we felt immediately as if we were at home. Nice and quiet with only the farm animals breaking the silence. We will definitely return!! Deon & Fransien Nel."

"Wonderful hosts, Fantastic setting. Well equipped and furnished. Good birding, especially around the dam. We will definitely return here when next in the area."

"Thanks for a happy stay. Cottage was huge and had all we needed. Just wish we'd arrived earlier to enjoy more of the beautiful setting of lake and mountains."

"This little slice of paradise is wonderful. The setting is beautiful, and would make a perfect base for a family to explore the area from.

The little dam next to the lawn was full of bird life, and the sounds of the farm in the background were the perfect antidote to a stressful drive.

We will definitely be visiting again!"

"Nice location. A bit far from town but very relaxed. The bedrooms are strange, you need to go through one to get to the other."

"Our second stay at Gairtney. Rene is a wonderful host in idyllic surroundings. We had a strangely comforting thunderstorm at night. The ducks thought there was too much rain and kept pecking at the lounge window presumably wanting to come in. A great place to stay."

"Excellent, spacious and tranquil setting with excellent hosts!"

"We planned a few days holiday in Clarens to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, and stopped off in the Eastern Cape for 2 nights en route. Gairtney Guest Cottage is situated roughly 1/2 way between Barkly East and Lady Grey just off the R58. Set in the foothills of the Witteberg, Gairtney Cottage is spacious, well-equipped and wonderfully quiet - just the place to escape the bustle of cities and towns. Our hostess, Renee, was most welcoming and couldn't have been more friendly. We suggest that you take whatever supplies you need with you - the nearest shop is in Lady Grey, 30Kms away.
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy nature and peace and quiet, this is the place for you - we would go back in a flash. Baie danke Renee, ons het ons tyd met julle baie geniet. (Thank you Renee, We enjoyed our time with you so much.)"

"We really enjoyed the farm atmosphere and the quietness. The owners were very helpful and friendly."

"The host were very friendly the facility was nice and clean, The location is great."
