The cool water in the plunge pool saved us in 36º heat!
Erna Du Toit - Friday, 13 January 2023
We absolutely loved the Cottage, so well appointed, conveniently positioned, surrounded by a lush indigenous garden, hearing owls at night and birdsong all day long, completely private, a piece of paradise.

Garden of delights
Desiree McCall - Thursday, 22 September 2022
A comfortable cottage with the smell of thatch and a generous stoep from which to enjoy the fantastic garden - we were here in spring so it was extra magical. Great location close to lovely eateries (Tebaldis is well worth a visit) and supply stores. Dennis is a gracious host who goes out of his way to make you at home. Highly recommend.

We loved the romantic feel about the house. Everything we needed was there. The bird life is amazing, the attention to detail was awesome and the warmest welcome I've received. Will definitely visit again

Wild Almond is a special little treasure in a wonderful area of South Africa. This is our second stay at Wild Almond and once again Dennis has provided an exceptionally warm welcome to his special little cottage. The little personal touches make Wild Almond worthy of a five star establishment. It’s a cosy, tranquil little cottage which is very comfortable and very well appointed. A very detailed information brochure compiled by Dennis is provided on arrival and details all relevant information about all the wonderful and unique eateries available in McGregor and the nearby area. Having stayed at a few other establishments in McGregor, Wild Almond is definitely our first choice and we will be back to enjoy this little cottage again.
Experience great accommodation in the beautiful village of McGregor
Crecia Allers - Sunday, 14 July 2019
Wild Almond cottage is a true gem in this lovely town. It offers five star accommodation with beautiful decor and attention to detail. Spacious well appointed outdoor area and gardens with pool add to this great accommodation. Dennis our host was so welcoming. Will definitely go back to this quaint breede valley town and Wild Almond Cottage is is a must do for anyone wanting to enjoy a unique experience in this part of the western cape.
Quaint cootage

Very welcoming host and lovely ambience
Beautiful garden and pool.
Sue Bellwood - Saturday, 30 March 2019
We had a fantastic time at Wild Almond Cottage. It was the ideal break from everything. The cottage is beautifully furnished with lots of lovely touches. We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the bottle of wine left for us by the lovely hosts Dennis and Mo. The fresh flowers from the garden in each room were a special touch. We loved the stoep, pretty garden and small pool. The only downside for us was having builders at the property below the garden and pool who could and did watch us over the fence. However, that wasn't Dennis's fault. We'd love to return to Wild Almond Cottage in the future.
Thoroughly Enjoyed the Stay!
Jim Adams - Tuesday, 19 March 2019
Beautiful, comfortable, well maintained cottage.
Wonderful Long Weekend Break
Helge Warild - Tuesday, 09 October 2018
We just fell in love with the total ambience of Wild Almond. Dennis made us feel very welcome and gave us personal attention. We loved the fresh flowers...the bottle of wine and bedtime chocolate. The cottage is well appointed and we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!
Peaceful time to recharge

Almond Cottage is Amazing!
Manon Hartman - Friday, 06 July 2018
This cottage exceeded our expectations by far. The attention to detail, excellent comfort and the cozy ambience barely explains how much we enjoyed our stay. Thank you Dennis!
Very pleasant weekend in McGregor
Hazel Jeannes - Wednesday, 06 June 2018
The accommodation was so very encompassing. The detail was impressive, paintings, utensils, bedding, books, cleanliness, peaceful, ambiance, plung pool and free wifi. Communication with the owner was excellent and informative. Nothing to. be improved upon. Book it now!
Wild Almond Cottage McGregor
Cathy Lile - Monday, 09 April 2018
What an amazing gem. Gorgeously outfitted with crisp cotton sheets and thick towels, all the cutlery and crockery (and bottle openers) you need, a stunningly deep plunge pool, and all the extras like custom-made cds and quality hand soap and cream. We received such a warm welcome from gracious hosts Dennis and Mo, and can't wait to go back. Categorically 5 star.
very friendly host

Exceptional Value
david - Monday, 26 June 2017
Wild Almond Cottage was a delightful experience. It was wonderfully clean, the small touches were exceptional and I would unreservedly recommend it at any time. In fact, I and my wife are going back to McGregor in November and it will be the first place we will look to re-book.
country living
Ester Claassen - Thursday, 08 June 2017
this is an absolutely quint little cottage, well worth a try.
A Wonderful Retreat
Allie - Wednesday, 03 May 2017
Wild Almond Cottage was cosy, comfortable and also beautifully presented including a bottle of wine on arrival, fresh flowers everywhere, plenty of information about the village and conserving water as well. The cottage is also walking distance to the shops, galleries, spa, Temenos Gardens, restaurants etc. which was very convenient. We really enjoyed our stay.
Exceptionally lovely cottage
Susan Brown - Tuesday, 14 March 2017
Wild Almond Cottage is everything it should be: a perfect period cottage in keeping with its surroundings, with an interior revealing a deft artistic hand in its decorations and furnishings. There is no air conditioning but our lazy day under the stoop was breezy and there is a refreshing splash pool. An excellent dinner at Karoux, 5 minutes walk away was a treat. Thank you Dennis!
More than expected!
Tracey Nortier - Tuesday, 24 January 2017
It was an absolutely wonderful stay!
We enjoyed a short local honeymoon and definitely chose the right place.
The photos do not do Wild Almond Cottage justice...we were more than pleasantly surprised.
Tranquil, private and with every creature comfort.
The plunge pool takes the prize when it comes to plunge pools incredibly deep and gorgeous!
Most gracious hosts too.
Thank you so much.
I almost don't want to say all these good things and it gets fully booked!

Cute and comfortable
Malcolm Stirk, Canada - Tuesday, 06 December 2016
Wild Almond is a home away from home. The atttention to detail and welcoming touches make arriving at Wild Almond a very pleasant experience. Dennis provides great information on the area prior to arrival. The cottage is very comfortable, cosy and homely and makes a stay in Mcgregor a very enjoyable and memorable one. Location is perfect within the village of Mcgregor.
Wild Almond Beyond Expectation
Elizna - Monday, 31 October 2016
We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Wild Almond. Since Ive made contact with Dennis the first time up to the morning we left, everything was just beyond our expectations. Everything is very neat and clean with beautiful interior. We loved the homely atmosphere and the personal attention we got from our host Dennis.

We will definitely be back.

Really Great Stay
Marilize - Friday, 17 June 2016
Our stay was absolutely wonderful, so great! It was clear to see that lots of attention was given to the finer details to create a pleasant and homely environment. For us the best feature was the stoep(veranda), it was really lovely sitting out there relaxing and looking out onto the beautiful garden and beyond. The cottage has everything that one needs. Our host, Dennis was so lovely and friendly as he always is, as this was our second time back to the Wild Almond Cottage, we would definitely go back and recommend it to others.
Peaceful getaway
Jessica - Wednesday, 15 June 2016
This was my second stay at Wild Almond Cottage and I will go back again!
This beautiful cottage is indescribable in words. Just go there!
The town is quaint and the cottage suits it. You can just disappear here. Its cosy and so much effort has been put into even the smallest details. Its just beautiful!!!
A Fab and Comfy Cottage
lawrence - Wednesday, 30 March 2016
Oh! my Goodness - we have died and gone to heaven. What a fab and comfy cottage. Thanks to Dennis for the warm welcome and the McGregor Chein Blanc. It is so easy to lose the time of day and forget about your other life. (As Arnold Schwarzenegger says \I will be back\"!)
Cheers!

Wild Almond Cottage - McGregor
karin - Monday, 14 March 2016
A charming, yet rustic cottage in a small town of McGregor. Yet also very peaceful - just what the doctor ordered for the weekend - Peace & tranquility combined with Relaxation. When sitting outside on the stoep (veranda) having coffee in the morning, you can hear the Rooster and the chirping of the birds (reminds one of life on a farm) - awesome.
Absolutely lovely
Maritza Breitenbach, South Africa - Monday, 18 January 2016
What a lovely place to stay! Also, apart from having everything one needs, there is an outside shower with hot and cold water, which is wonderful. It is private, tranquil and well priced. I highly recommend staying at the Wild Almond Cottage!

Wendy Baxter, South Africa - Thursday, 07 January 2016
Beautiful, outstanding and I just want to go back.
The cottage so welcoming.  The swimming pool was a great extra as it was so hot.  I would have liked to have stayed an extra night.
Thank you Dennis Amy and I will be back

Perfect break-away
Wilhelm Lutjeharms, South Africa - Monday, 14 July 2014
The pictures do this please perfect justice. It is quiet, well-equipped and more luxurious than expected at this price. We were welcomed by Dennis and he kindly explained all there was to know about the cottage and its surroundings.
Perfect in every way
Toddy Landry, South Africa - Saturday, 25 January 2014
We recently stayed at Wild Almond Cottage and loved every moment of it. From the moment you walk in you feel "loved" and well taken care of. The cottage is clean, tidy and comfortable; the location and views are fabulous and we loved all the little extra touches. I highly recommend this cottage and will certainly be back.
Absolutely amazing
Paul Williamson, South Africa - Monday, 22 July 2013
We were very warmly welcomed by Dennis; and the cottage and garden really made us feel at home and relaxed. The nice personal touches simply made the birthday weekend very special. The cottage is very nicely furnished; and both the cottage and the garden encourages one to relax. We'll definitely will be back.
Wonderful
Karen le Roux, South Africa - Saturday, 29 June 2013
Thank you for a wonderful stay in this very comfortable and beautiful little cottage. It was so easy with our two year old son having the enclosed garden. My husband loved the outside shower even though it was mid winter! We will most definitely visit again!
Perfect little cottage in a delightful little village
Jan Weintrob, South Africa - Wednesday, 10 April 2013
We spent a stunningly relaxed Easter weekend in Mcgregor, largely due to the fact that Wild Almond is, quite simply, the ultimate "getaway" cottage. Appointed with charm, immaculate detail and great care, the cottage is warmly inviting and super-comfortable. From the thoroughly-equipped kitchen, to the quality cotton duvets, to the fantastic selection of CD's and DVD's, we couldn't have been more content. To our hosts Dennis and Mo, whose love, thoughtful touch and care is apparent in every nook and cranny of this special place - thank you so much. We'll be seeing you and Wild Almond again, we greatly hope!
Excellent
Mr herman - Wednesday, 27 March 2013
Place is very clean. All the necessary utensils available. Denis and Maureen a friendly couple. We will be back
Perfect
Desiree Gerber, South Africa - Monday, 04 March 2013
This must be the nicest cottage I have ever stayed in. Their attention to the little details is just incredible. I don't just want to go for a weekend anymore, I want to live there for good!
Wonderful!
Chloe Williams, South Africa - Monday, 12 March 2012
Dennis and Maureen have a special little gem, we felt so welcome in their lovely, homely, tastefully decorated, comfortable, peaceful cottage. Its very well equipped and quiet special with extra care taken and attention to detail that made the stay very enjoyable indeed.
Romantic getaway
jamie macken, South Africa - Monday, 13 February 2012
From the moment we arrived, every detail of this magical cottage appealed to us. Dennis, the kind owner, had contacted us with directions and advice on where to shop which allowed us to arrive stress free. The charm of this cottage manifests in the elegant décor and feel. Everything had been thought of. Add to this the fact that it is only a short walk from the the village centre, and there really is not a better place to sit back and enjoy McGregor. Thanks Dennis!


Wild Almond Cottage
Wild Almond Cottage is a delightfully petite, two-bedroom (1x Queen Size Bed in Main Bedroom and 1x Double Size Bed in 2nd Bedroom) Palmiet thatch roofed cottage, comprising two bathrooms, a lounge and kitchen and a large covered patio.

Enjoy the shared refreshing farm style plunge pool where you are welcome to cool off after your travels. There is off road parking and WiFi free of charge. Outside in the garden, guests can enjoy a traditional barbecue/Braai on the Weber. Unfortunately not suitable for pets. Wild Almond is a strictly non smoking establishment. McGregor is a popular destination for visitors because of its remote location and old world charm. It is located in the Breede River Valley and is in close proximity to over 80 Wine Estates. We also have a specialty Grappa Distillery just outside of the village
