Reviews of Harmonie Farm Cottage


"Everything you need"

(South Africa) Maxine

"We loved our weekend at the farm. The cottage is very well maintained with everything one needs.
A lovely surprise to discover the inside fire place.
The farm manager Pam went out of her way to make sure we had arrived safely after car trouble on the way there.
We will be back."

"Fantastic Place"

"Harmony was an amazing place.

It had everything we required.

Nice and remote.

Beautiful area to explore.

We stayed for 7 days but needed a few more days to explore everything properly.

Highly recommended."


"Lekker"

(South Africa) Mareli du Plessis

"Harmonie is n moderne, skoon, netjiese en baie gerieflike huisie. Die uitsig is ongelooflik mooi en die rustigheid laat n mens weer besef dat daar ander dinge in die lewe belangriker is as ons gejaag na wind! Sal defnitief weer op Harmonie gaan kuier!"

" Overall, very good value "

"We had a lovely long weekend at Harmonie Cottage. The hospitality was excellent and the cottage was very well equipped. It was nice to get away and be surrounded by nature and a peaceful setting but still have the modern luxuries such as a dish washer, electric blankets, DSTV (brought our own Smartcard which worked fine) and lovely furniture and fittings. The farm itself is beautiful and we had a couple of nice walks. The place is child friendly and our toddler of 15 months had a lovely time. Thanks again, we will be back !!!"


" Extremely friendly."

(South Africa) James-Leon Roberts

"No complaints, it is a great cottage and farm. Extremely friendly. We had our privacy all the time on this working farm. We were made to feel very at home. We will definitely visit again. Thanks to Helgaardt and Reinert"


"Great experience"

(South Africa) Rob and Jenni Stewart

"We were made to feel most welcome.

The spacious accommodation was comfortable for our family, including three teenagers.

We had a wonderful walk exploring around the farm.

Well equipped kitchen, with dishwasher.

Our host was very helpful."

The staff were very attentive and took great care of us. We met the owners during the course of our stay as well, and they too were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was great, and so was the service. One thing which was also really nice was being able to be on an actual working active farm. Really nice experience. I would go back again, and I would recommend it to others."

The surrounds are really so beautiful and the no cellphone reception helps a lot to unwind a bit. Everything in the cottage is so comfortable and everything you might need is there.

Fireplace is in the lounge which is great for those cold nights.
Great stay otherwise! "

"This is the best way to describe this amazing destination. The views are breath-taking! My husband and I wanted to break away from the bustling city to find some peace and tranquillity and Harmonie exceeded our expectations by far. The cottage itself was well equipped and catered to our every need. The indoor braai/ fireplace was an unexpected delight and right up my husband’s Alley. He delivered a great feast of pot roast with all the trimmings, while I laid on the couch, tucked in with a book and a glass of wine. The bedroom was cosy and warm with more than enough blankets and pillows. The Victorian bath was the cherry on top for me as I soaked up in this oversized tub. We utilized the outside braai for our last evening with plenty of firewood, which we purchased from our hosts at 30 rand for a huge bag. We burnt up three bags. The farm area is huge and we took a two hour hike amongst the olive trees and vines, stopping to take pictures along the way. I am an amateur photographer and the views totally blew my mind. I was in photography heaven. The peace and quiet we have experienced here, no noise but the sounds of Mother Nature and the open spaces was priceless! We felt rejuvenated after our four night stay and will recommend this place very highly. Our hosts were welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. There is also a heater I must mention, even though we only discovered it on the third night. We ventured into the town of Montagu and discovered breath-taking thatched roof buildings and historical properties which off course I photographed. We went to the market on Saturday morning and found and array of local crafts and I even had a neck massage. We also attended the local community church on Sunday and was heartily welcomed. Montagu has everything you need so you don’t have to pack in so much stuff. The biltong at the local butcher was lip-smacking good and very reasonably priced. This is truly a beautiful, scenic place and we will certainly visit again soon. Thank you to our very gracious hosts for being so attentive. Lastly I must add, you have to get some olives as well as olive oil. Great quality and great tasting! Go check this place out for yourselves."


"Clean and Serene"

(South Africa) Jason

"Wonderful clean house with all amenities. Tranquil location. Bring your mountain bikes to take a ride through the vineyards. Pam was a wonderful host ensuring our every need was catered for.

"Awesome!"

"Our stay at Harmonie Farm was everything we wanted and more. Peaceful surroundings, lovely cottage, well looked after and everything we could possibly need was provided. I really recommend it!"

"My children and I spent Christmas weekend in the cottage. What a treat....away from the hustle and bustle of life and absolutely blessed by peace and tranquillity, nature at its best, beautiful scenery. Sunsets and freedom. We loved the outlay of the cottage and especially the lovely old -fashioned stoep and the fires . We lacked nothing....the boiling hot water in the showers and the dishwasher were the cherries on the cake."

"Milky way"

(South Africa) Mr LWS

"Absolutely amazing place in the middle of nowhere. It's so isolated you can see the milky way. The owner was so cute and accommodating - unfortunately, the power supply was a little wonky and we went the whole night without electricity. Otherwise, absolutely wonderful."

The unit itself is very modern, with contemporary furnishings and situated on a vine and olive farm. It is the only unit on the farm and has been positioned in a beautiful and private setting.

Both owners Reinert and Helgard are extremely welcoming and made us feel as their friends.I cannot recommend strongly enough and we will certainly make a point of returning. P.S. Try their olives, they are amazing. "

"We wanted to get away for a relaxing weekend away, far from the maddening crowds to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. We selected Harmonie from a website and went with the usual caution that it would not live up to the descriptions that you find advertised so often but IT FAR EXCEEDED THOSE! The owner was very welcoming (even though I flattened one of his olive trees on arrival) and the cottage was perfect, really well equipped and comfortable (none of grandma's throw outs that you sometimes find).
We had planned to go out to dinner in Montague but it was so relaxing looking at the view from the stoep that we decided to do our own thing.
We will go back!"


"Stunning Cottage"

(South Africa) Ms Wouda

"It is a stunning place, very peaceful and ideal if you’re looking to escape the hustle of everyday. We really had a fantastic time and the owner is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back!"


"Lovely, peaceful cottage in a beautiful valley"

(South Africa) anonymous

"This is a lovely, well appointed cottage with an attractive front lawn and beautiful view of the mountains. We had a very comfortable two nights and our two young children loved exploring the farm. "


"Simply idyllic"

"We have always enjoyed Montagu and try to visit at least once a year. However, this time it feels as if we have found a second home.

Harmonie Farm is a beautiful, peaceful haven that enveloped us from the moment we arrived. We could feel ourselves relax even as we drove down the farm road and when we arrived at the cottage we were amazed at the beautiful mountain views.

Entering the cottage we were even more impressed. Everything was spotless and beautiful and we could not believe our luck at finding this little gem.

It is lovingly decorated and the attention to detail is most appreciated. It can only be described as a 'home away from home'.

Imagine, an electric blanket and a dishwasher - what heaven!

We will definitely be returning in the near future as Helgaardt and Ray helped to make our family memories even more memorable.

"In April 2010, four of us booked into Harmony Cottage for a three night stay, and what a truly delightful cottage it is too. So much thought and care has gone into the cottage in the way of both furnishings and fittings - all extremely attractive, comfortable and the cottage spotlessly clean.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this delightful and peaceful place. Walks were also enjoyed around the farm knowing we were quite safe. Birding - 40 species were notched up in a space of two hours which was tremendous.

We also received a dish containing "Harmony" preserved Olives - absolutely the most delicious Olives we had ever tasted. When the time came to leave, we all felt very sad, as we would loved to have spent longer in "Harmony".
"


"Peace and quiet"

(South Africa) Jill Mills

"A beautiful, clean and well designed cottage. Absolute peace, abundant bird life, fresh apricots picked from the orchard, and no cell phone reception make it an ideal retreat from the racket of the city. Close proximity to Montagu and wine route add to a day out."

We had a lovely time, would love to come back soon."
