Where do I start, the host Bettie is warm, she came out to welcome us as we drove onto the property. Our cottage was located on the lake - it was beautiful to have breakfast on the patio overlooking the lake and watching the birds build nests. The unit was large, spacious, immaculately clean and well catered for. We also received freshly baked scones every morning which adds a nice homely feel. Although we did not book our Sani pass tour with Bettie, she went the extra mile of contacting the tour company and confirming our pickup as well as printing the required forms for the border post. The entire property is very well maintained especially the hiking trials leading out and up the mountain. This was an excellent place to unwind and detach - there is no cell phone signal and wifi is only available at the clubhouse - with so much to do, this was not an issue for us. I would definitely book here again, it is all the little additional touches from the host Bettie that makes this place special.

The place was completely what we were looking for in the Berg and more : peace, tranquility, privacy, opportunity for hiking and very close to the border with Lesotho ( ideal for Sani Pass tours, all organized and you are picked up from the cottages) . The place gives a very authentic yet comfortable experience of the mountain life, with comfortable bads, great shower, option of cooking gas or an electric stove, fire place and generous arrangement for extra wood, decent Wi-Fi connection in selected spots. Great hospitality, just the right balance of genuine care and availability without being intrusive. And you get fresh, most delicious scones every morning. We will definitely go back.

Loved the setting deep in the mountains and overlooking a dam. Couldn’t be more perfect for a mountain cottage. Cottage had everything you need.
My only complaint is not knowing there is no signal AT ALL. I did not read this info when booking but it should be a major fact as most people do business remotely. Wifi is available in the public sports lounge but this is not suitable for someone requiring to do business.

The beautiful, tranquil and historic location. Easy access to hiking trails and a walk down to the river. Cottage had everything you'd need for a comfortable extended stay. Wood available for delivery and complementary (delicious) scones every morning was great. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
A minor thing, but a double bed instead of two single beds pushed together would be more appropriate.

I wanted a place where I could completely disconnect from the world and Mkomazana Mountain Cottages offered just that. The views of the mountains and the fact that it snowed 🥹😍. The host Cliff and his staff made sure we were warm at all times even with the power it due to the weather. And we woke up to freshly baked scones being delivered to our door every morning.

Everything about the accommodation is excellent, we could not have asked for more, super clean warm and comfortable beds, super crisp white linen and warm duvets on the beds, there were lots of lamps etc. supplied in all the rooms to cope with the load shedding, including a two burner gas stove for emergencies. freshly bakes scones are delivered daily to the cottages, please remember to bring your own butter and jam to enjoy them! \The kitchen is very well equipped, and our cottage overlooked the dam so we had super views, wonderful bird watching opportunities. I would recommend Coot Cottage
Everything was perfect, could not be improved upon!

My family and I stayed over for the UTD race which made the location ideal for the start. Beautiful setting with an easy hike up to Salt and Pepper. Facilities were as described. To note that wifi is only available at the barn house with no network elsewhere. A blessing in disguise as it allows you to be completely removed from the daily tech interruptions.

We loved the tranquility and being surrounded by mountains. Betty gave us a warm welcome and gave us advice on restaurants and activities. It was great that the Sani pass tour vehicle could pick us up at our accommodation and that we did not have to travel to Underberg to join the tour.
The bathroom door latch was difficult to close and open so we used a piece of carton between the door and frame to close which was easier. The bathroom window did not have a latch so we had to close the window because of the baboons and therefore the bathroom could not be ventilated before we went out for the day.

The area was quiet and could walk in peace. Ideally situated for trip up the Sanipass and our tour group collected us on the way. Room was comfortable and had a fireplace for the cold. Scones in the morning was a nice touch
