My family of 5 rented the cottage and 2 garden facing studios, #3&4 and we all had a great stay. Comfort in every aspect. Would definitely return. Shopping and eating is within a short walk or drive. Everything needed is provided. Cleanliness is a priority.

The Haystack is a wonderful place to be
The beautiful garden, swimming pool, and walling distance to shops make this already a great location but it geta even better with the air conditioned rooms, backup generator power, and best of all the hospitality of the owner/manager. They were always acomidationg for anything that we needed. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in thw area

Owner was professional yet friendly (husband’s 4th visit, my first). Spotless accommodation, thoughtful food gift as we arrived late at night. Gorgeous setting, tranquil garden, quiet location close to dining options. A “hidden gem” indeed❤️❤️
Stephen/Judy, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

No water day
I gave them a lower rating because that the water was shut off for a complete day in witch it ruins the fact that could not take a shower nor do any laundry although they did try to help by providing buckets for flushing the toilet I believe that if the water has been on ,it was for the most part close to 5 star rating

The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. We like the view from our room in the beautiful garden. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Just the basin in the bathroom is very small.

Unpleasant experience
Firstly meet with unpleasant situation- demand of ZAR1000 deposit- I have never had this anywhere in the world. I waited at the gate for a long time before they opened the gate and people were watching me waiting at the gate. The coffee maker does not work and leaked all over the counter. I got 1 small bottle of complimentary water on the first day When i left i was told by the SECURITY GUARD that i had to wait for him to check the room before he could let me leave the premises- can you believe this. This place is totally overrated and i will never stay there again.
