Pet friendly sustainable accommodation

My stay was at Willow Cottage and I absolutely loved it. The space is quaint and comfortable with thoughtful finishes. The private back deck is the perfect spot for writing, with the flowing stream and birds as background. My favourite part is the sun bed. Falling asleep while reading a book in the soft winter sun… Made me fall in love with afternoon naps all over again. And then there’s the toasty fireplace to warm the nights. Julian is a great, accommodating host. This will definitely be a recurring booking.

Great 2 nights spent in Hobbit Hollow cottage. The farm and surroundings are beautiful and we had a very relaxing time with our doggie. Our particular cottage was nice and private and had a side section fully fenced to keep your doggies from straying. That worked well for us as she is not very well socialised being a log down puppy. Jules was an extremely attentive and friendly host!

We had a fantastic time at Hobbit Hollow for a few days. As it’s tucked into the river bank the birdlife and wildlife was amazing. Trees offer nice shade in the midday heat and the river running just below the cottage is great to cool off in. The cottage itself is well appointed and has everything you’d need to be comfortable for a few days. Nice touches here and there if you’re a Tolkien fan. We will definitely be back in the future and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing break. It’s also a huge plus that they are pet friendly!

What an incredible week spent at Underhill! Our cottage was fully equipped and had fast WiFi, so we managed to get so much work done...definitely the best office I've ever had! Our doggos loved it too, and the farm dog Mylo made a great play mate. The owner Julian was incredibly accommodating and really taught us a lot about building sustainability and actually inspired us to build a green home of our own one day! We'll be back again and again and AGAIN! 🙂

We stayed at the Rivendell Cottage and had an unforgettable experience. The cottage is cute, homely and contains everything that you would need. Beautiful rustic finishes, with an incredible braai area, adorable plunge pool to take a dip in and an amazing pathway in the forest that leads to a fireplace surrounded by fairy lights. Also love that the cottages are pet friendly. Excellent holiday destination and will definitely be going again 😊

Such an unexpected gem. The pictures on the website looked great, but the reality was fantastic. Loved the river and hearing it flow at night and the area where we could swim at Hobbit Hollow. Well kitted out kitchen, including a dishwasher. Lovely linen on a king-size bed. Great to be able to take our dogs and go for walks, or just sit and absorb nature in the day and dream away with the fairy lights at night.

What an incredible time at our favourite place in the Western Cape! How dogs love it just as much as we do! There's nothing more that our family looks forward to than our quarterly visits to the Farm! And the best part is that we can bring our fur children with too! Thanks Jules!!

Winston, my little (not so little) bull dog would personally like to thank Julian and Mylo for the most beautiful weekend we have had this year! It was not only amazing to find pet friendly accommodation, but also accommodation that offers peace of mind, by being completely enclosed, so Winston could run wild, while I could enjoy a glass of wine in the hot tub at Rivendell. Thanks once again - we will be back!
