"Enjoyable"

(South Africa) B Parker

"The two nights at the cottage was really enjoyable. Close enough to Montagu, Ashton and Robertson for day activities and far out of town for quiet evenings when you need to get away from the rat race!!"

"The fotos does not do justice to this piece of heaven. Stunning location, lovely cottage. Clean, comfortable, everything you need for a very enjoyable stay. Our stopover was way to short, will definately return for an extended stay."

"We have come back to our city lives rested and with our minds stilled after 5 very pleasant days spent at Dew Cottage and hiking and exploring the Montagu surrounds.

Doreen is a welcoming and generous host.  The cottage is well equipped, and we enjoyed being able to have a fire in the evenings. 

The stoep is the gem of Dew Cottage.  We spent much time there, reading and watching the many birds who visit.

Thanks to Doreen and Tarry.

"Travel off the tar for a couple of kilometres to a secluded farm in the mountains! A place to revitalise your tired mind and body! A large cottage with electricity provided. No wifi or cellphone (mobile) reception gave us time to relax, catch up on books and conversations! Excellent for bird lovers, hikers or just to chill out. Doreen, our host, was very kind, surprising us with muffins one morning and eggs On another! Good beds, bathroom, a large veranda, braai facilities and much more made this a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend!,"


"Awesome"

"We enjoyed a two day stay at Dew Cottage with my parents. We arrived in a very neat and clean cosy cottage overlooking mountains in all directions.

We loved the hammocks on the 'stoep'.

We also went on two hikes into the mountains. The Keisie mountains took my breath away with its splendour.

The cottage is comfortably equipped with everything you might need for a relaxed stay. Comfortable bed and nice good quality linen and towels were provided as well.

The home made jams, atchars and preserves are highly recommended (available to purchase).

Zulu, a big doberman dog and his sidekick came to greet us a few times.

A place where friendliness is almost tangible in the air!

Highly recommended for the price range!"

The stay was amazing and will go back again next year. "


"Amazing little spot"

(South Africa) claudette moore

"This is a fantastic little cottage. Very functional and comfortable. It's beautifully nestled in the mountains, and on the morning I stayed there I woke up to snow on the mountains surrounding the cottage. The owners are very attentive to your every need. Many thanks for a lovely stay!"

"What an awesome experience, away from the rush of the city life. Dew Cottage took my husband and I to a place of pure appreciation...appreciation of life. There's a pure sense of life from the minute you open your eyes, open the front doors and look over the farms. There's life in the river that flows, in the birds chirping, in the soft rustling of the trees. We chose the perfect little piece of heaven to spend our 16th anniversary. Thank you, Doreen for sharing her with us."

"Dew Cottage is surrounded by beautiful dramatic mountains, a rambling river and the sounds of nature. It is a perfect romantic getaway spot offering everything you need. Perfect for the cold winters nights with feather duvets and extra bedding and we intend to find out how perfect it will be in summer when we return to cool off under the outside shower or in the stream. Our hosts Doreen and Tarry were both very special, offering just enough attention to know they were on the other side of the hill if we needed anything but leaving us to take in the peaceful surroundings and beauty. We will definitely be visiting Dew Cottage again!"

"We visited Dew Cottage in December. I almost do not want to tell everybody about this jewel in Montague. Doreen in the most fantastic host. She really spoiled us with muffins. The most amazing home made muffins with home made jams. She also spoiled us with her own organic vegetables. When we look back at our tour to Montague (Route 62) She made Montague worthwhile. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. Our family experienced a very special time at Dew Cottage. "

"Enjoyable"

"Hi Doreen

We had a great time,the children enjoyed just walking and cycling freely.

No phone or T.V meant more time spend together. We found the Cottage pleasant and had everything we needed. We will be back soon. Keep jamming the jam.

Livine,Nigel and Kids."

"We had a fantastic time and would do it again in a heartbeat. I only wished we could have stayed longer 2 night are way to short a time to experience everything there is to offer.

Most enjoyable for people who want to get away from it all is of course the lack of Cell phone reception and TV. But if your contacting needs are urgent Montagu is close enough which has reception.

And of course as we drove back the entire Koo Valley just at the top of the Burger Pass was covered in Snow. That in itself was a added bonus."


"Would recommend highly! "

(South Africa) Terry Bezuidenhout

"We had a wonderfully restful break. Beautiful setting; very comfortable cottage (feather pillows & duvet!); plenty of wood; birdlife and views! Great walks; plenty of water; Lovely hostess! Super friendly dogs Ð felt like home! No phone or TV reception Ð blissfully peaceful! "


"Winter Retreat"

(South Africa) John White

"This was a delightful location on a working farm with friendly playful pets and a chatty hostess, best firewood we have ever had and was most appreciated. The rustic cottage was a change from modern day amenities. Great not to have TV, Cellphones etc interrupting natures sounds."


"Recommended "

"Wonderful"


"We had a fantastic stay."

(South Africa) Samantha Van Schalkwyk

"Dew cottage is absolutely tranquil and neat with small little touches to make you feel at home. It’s a little piece of heaven shared by the owner with us. The 2 hammocks are a great touch and the nice muffins. The walks really help you relax and unwind or even if you just decide to lay in the hammock on the deck with a book. We experienced summer of 39 degrees and 25 degrees with rain - Both these temperatures brought about new adventures. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back again for a week."

"A rustic and cosy cottage nestled in a tranquil valley, surrounded by rolling mountains - what a perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. During the day, we walked, cycled and soaked in the soft beauty around us and then returned to Dew Cottage to watch the black eagles soaring in the sky above us as we relaxed in the hammocks on the patio. Chilly evenings were spent indoors at the fire place and on our final morning, we were treated by our hosts to fresh, home baked muffins. We'll be back!"
