Quaint, comfortable, beautifully decorated and furnished - and Aunty Lindiwe was most kind and helpful. Main suggestion - during breakfast service, have music suited to the environment (soft and soothing)

What an amazing experience and memory - I will definitely be visiting again. Rentia at Sani Window was so accommodating and friendly, I didn’t feel like a guest, I felt like part of Sani Window’s family

The place was incredible ! Right by the water and staff were very friendly. Peaceful setting with a game room and amenities not to far from Eland Valley. The dam view was amazing and to top it all off we had a dog visiting us which made it feel more like home!

The Old Hatchery - Simply my worst ever guesthouse experience

Reviewed By johnwood2015

Arrived Dec 15. - No hot water - No soap or shampoo - cheapest 1 ply loo roll We had booked for the one night at the start of a motorcycle tour and returned at the end of the tour. To late to find parking for our vehicles and no option to return at tour end. On our return we were heading for bed when a large group of guests arrived drunk and rowdy (11pm). Owners simply allowed them to stay. They partied, screamed and jumped up and down above us until we eventually left at 3;50 am without any sleep. Owners of the Hatchery only responded to my messages at 9;30 the following day. First message sent before 12pm. Bearing in mind we had 1450km drive back to Cape Town the next day, on zero sleep. To add insult were overcharged by R200 rand per person per night and the owner refuses to respond to my messages. (we arrived back tired from our tour and presented with the bill to pay). I paid and only later the next day checked the emailed quotes sent to me.

A great place to stay for birding enthusiasts

Reviewed By Muncie_birder

I was with a birding group of 7. We stayed here 2 nights and our host drove us to Lethoso. He himself is an expert birder in this area. We had great breakfasts and heard Buff-spotted Flufftail in the garden but could not find it. About 20 Red Bishops came to the feeders at once

Highly Recommended B&B

Reviewed By Snappytravelers

Traveled to the Underberg on a photographic trip to photograph the Autumn colors. We were welcomed to Country Comfort by Sandy and Lewis and immediately felt welcome and at home. They were perfect hosts. The room had the most comfortable bed and fully equipped with everything you would need and of only the highest quality and detail. Well done Sandy and Lewis, we had a memorable stay.

Amazing Views

Reviewed By FluffyBunny73

We arrived in the evening in the mist so had no idea what an amazing view we'd find when we woke up. Really stunning. The house was beautifully decorated and we arrived to a roaring fire and a delicious meal we'd pre-booked. Yoliswa the housekeeper was a huge help and was always available for help as needed, unfortunately we didn't see the owner, which was disappointing. While she did inform us she'd be away on the first day we heard very little from her only to hear on enquiring that she'd been ill. Communication was a bit poor on that front unfortunately and we had a small problem with the gas cooker, which was provided. There were also minimal facilities for self catering, other than a braai, which we didn't use.

Beautiful

Reviewed By Ilkleygirl

What a great find ...... Amazing views, peaceful and quiet. 5* accommodation at affordable prices. Lovely breakfast along with a friendly host. Louise organised a trip up the Sani Pass which was the main reason for visiting the area. It was a fantastic trip, well worth it. Good luck with everything.
