- Very good - 02 January 2008
Lovely place - very spacious cottage. On the property you have access to the river (great in summer). Also close to a lot of adventure destinations: hikes in the Drakensberg, tubing, mountainbiking etc. The 4km gravel road to the cottage is not too great. Very friendly and helpful staff.

- Lovely, exceptional B&B - 07 May 2007
We had a lovely time at Birches cottages, it was by far the most luxurious cottage that we have stayed in (and we love travelling). The hosts (Huck and Elsabe) are warm, friendly people that ensured all our needs were met. We would definitely go back someday and recommend it to all.
