“We were delighted with this choice of venue for our relaxing break in Sedgefield.”
+Lavendel Cottage excels in every way - from location to comfort, beautiful decor to being equipped to a higher standard than we've ever encountered before (and we've travelled extensively). There was also a more than generous array of consumables for our use. Therefore we have no qualms about highly recommending this truly delightful venue - thank you Cheryl and Werner for your superb hosting abilities and for providing us with such a peaceful and tranquil 'home from home'.

“Home away from home. Will definately reccomend or book the cottage again.”
+This cottage is the ideal home away from home. It has everything you need especially in the kitchen. You kind of get the feeling that you rather stay at “home” than go out for dinner. Location also very good. Cheryl and Werner kind hosts and more than prepared to meet your needs.
−Beds (single) were okay but I would suggest bigger duvets (3/4 size)

“Little gem in beautiful and safe area.”
+What a gem this accommodation is! We couldn't have wished for more. The secure off-street parking gave us peace of mind, and the lovely braai facility nestled in a private garden was a perfect for us. The sunroom, with its stack-away doors, let in so much light, making the space feel even more inviting. The unit itself is spacious and incredibly well-equipped. With DSTV and uncapped WiFi, we had all the comforts of home. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities, and we appreciated the freedom to use everything provided. The beds were comfortable, with good quality linen. The bathrooms were spotless, boasting excellent shower pressure. The location couldn't be better. My mother and I enjoyed peaceful strolls from our unit to the lagoon, which offers kilometres of beautiful scenery. We felt safe and secure in this tranquil area, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this accommodation for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a peaceful retreat. We can’t wait to return!
−Nothing at all.

“Very enjoyable - never experience many extra touches even at more expensive self catering.”
+All very good. Very good facilities - every need catered for.
−maybe a few more steak knives would have been good idea but this was not a big issue - hopefully this is a helpful suggestion.

“Home away from home - for real!”
+We honestly wanted to extend our stay at Lavendel Cottage, but couldn’t manage to change our flight dates. We truly felt like we’re home. We have 2 kids under 2, and they were entertained all the way! Loved the space and garden! We are most definitely going back!
