All GOOD thanks!

Our Hosts Hans and Marina were the best, they made sure we were 100% happy with our stay. The beautiful "Little House" we stayed in was like our own at home, clean spacious and comfortable. Huge garden, private as well as the small farm we could walk around as it was our little paradise. Absolutely the best, what a gem, will definitely visit again.

Absolutely nothing that we didn’t like

The location is fantastic, a small holding farm right in the town. Beautiful green garden, very private. Close to all amenities,shops restaurants etc. The very friendly and attentive hosts made the stay most enjoyable. The accommodation is large and extremely comfortable, with many fine touches of luxury. We highly recommend this piece of rural paradise.

The hosts Hans and Marina went out of their way to make us feel at home. They welcomed us with true " Karoo " hospitality. The property is extremely well looked after. We enjoyed picking incredibly sweet grapefruit for our daily breakfasts.

I can find nothing to fault!

We spent a lovely three days in this wonderful cottage, right in the middle of Prince Albert. Hosts Marina and Hans could not have been more welcoming. Their attention to detail and small touches that made our stay so comfortable were so appreciated. The cottage itself was warm and cosy with a fireplace in the lounge and good heater in the bedroom. The cottage bathroom is lovely, with a great bath and separate shower. We also loved the sense of privacy and the beautiful garden in front of the cottage. We will definitely come back to Prince Albert to stay here!

This beautiful decorated cottage, renovated by the owners, is a masterpiece of artistic minimalism and luxury. Every item, utensils, and furniture carefully curated. The sense of peace and tranquility overwhelms you as you gaze out over the smallholding, taking in the lush vegetable gardens, olive trees, vineyards, swimming pool, dams, picnic spot and so much more.

It is very difficult in the case Vergeet- My -Niet to find anything which could be improved . However the only aspect I think could improve an already great experience would be if, upon arrival there were a welcome pack/ basket of some sort. Perhaps a bottle of wine and a selection of items to showcase the many delicious local products available eg olives , fruit etc. Even if it meant a small increase in price. This would nicely supplement the already provided tea, coffee, milk and rusks.

Vergeet-My-Niet is a peaceful oasis within the peaceful oasis that is Prince Albert. The cottage is a wonderfully restored period property within the grounds of the main house, but the extent of the gardens and olive grove beyond, make it feel like it is in the middle of the countryside! The gardens play host to a vast array of bird life. I spent a fascinating and very relaxing hour on the stoep nestled in the comfortable armchair in the late afternoon ,just watching and listening to the birds. The welcome we received from Marina and Hans when we arrived was fantastic. They remained the most friendly, attentive and helpful hosts throughout our short stay. We would love to return for a longer stay in the future.

Absolutely nothing. It is perfect in every way.

If I could rate this 20/10, I would! This cottage and property is honestly a slice of heaven on earth. Absolutely beautiful and every detail has been carefully thought about. We felt so welcomed by the exceptional hosts and are already planning our next trip to Vergeet-my-niet! Definitely not to be forgotten.

This was a home away from home. What a perfect getaway! The cottage is in a quiet street, just a block from the Main Road…a beautifully kept garden with a vineyard, olive trees, fruit trees, huge lawns and a pond. It really is very special. Marina and Hans made us feel so welcome. Everything one needs is in the well appointed cottage - comfortable bed, lovely linen. This was really one of the nicest places we have ever stayed - our 4 days flew by and we hope we can return again soon.

Vergeet My Niet is in a league of its own and sets the barr high for self-catering accommodation. Perfectly located in the village and an easy walk to any of the many village shops and eateries. The property is set in a lush garden, rolling lawns and then surrounded by orchids and a vineyard. The pool is perfect, great depth and large enough to swim laps. There is the bonus of an outdoor shower, perfect for night time showers whilst gazing at the incredible night skies. The cottage is perfectly decorated to reflect country living but to also include all modern critter comforts: aircon, ceiling fan/s, even luxury scented candles and beautiful coffee table books. The cottage and garden perfectly capture indoor/outdoor living with the added touch of hammocks hanging in the orchids. Marina and Hans are hosts extraordinaire who made our stay exceptional. Vergeet My Niet, Forget me not - Never ... Memories forever with a definite plan to return ...

Loved everything about Vergeet My Niet! Wonderful hosts who went to so much trouble to make our stay exceptional. The cottage and the property are just beautiful , and within easy walking distance to restaurants etc. So spacious with a huge private garden surrounded by olive and fruit trees - and even an additional outdoor shower, which my husband very much enjoyed using after his early morning run! Can highly recommend!

Good central locations. Warm welcome by Hans and Marina who went out of their way with my requests for special items to be placed in our villa as a surprise for my wife. They are great hosts. The villa ia secluded and situated in a tranquil garden.

There is plenty of nice accommodation in SA but once in a while you find a real gem. Vergeet-My-Niet is one of those rare gems and so are the hosts Marina and Hans. I cannot put into words how much I have enjoyed my stay. I would rate 11 out of 10 :-) Thank you Marina and Hans for your incredible hospitality. Ek sal jou nie vergeet nie!

We heard about Vergeet-My-Niet quite by chance when having a meal at the Rude Chef and the couple alongside us were staying the night there. They raved about. We were able to make a 4 night booking for first week of March Marina and Hans are incredible hosts. Nothing is too much trouble even asking if we wanted the car washed. The property itself is very picturesque with beautiful gardens, an olive grove, lovey trees and grassed areas all very well maintained. The accommodation itself is awesome. Shower and bath all new, taps all new, very comfortable bed and kitchen and sitting areas just what you need. Spent a lot of time just sitting out on the veranda watching the wagtails etc. We will be back.

Leaving

Charming house in a lovely location. Close to the centre of town, but feels like you are in the country. The house is very spacious, but, thanks to the lovely weather, we spent a lot of time outdoors. The property is set in a smallholding growing olives and grapes. Marina and Hans look after the farm and were amazing hosts to us. One example. We decided to go to the weekly farmers market to buy some of the delicious local figs. When we got there, there was none left. Hans caught up with us at the entrance and told us that as they were there earlier and saw the figs being sold up they had bought us a box! Lovely sitting on the stoop and watching the wildlife, including a resident tortoise.

Having to leave. It was the best.

Exceptional. This is the most exquisite property, the cottage is fabulous and beautifully appointed. The hosts, Hans and Marina are wonderful and couldn’t do more to make us feel welcome and comfortable. If 10 stars were possible, that’s what we’d give them. We booked for 2 nights and stayed for 6 and even that was too short. Thank you for everything. x
