11 months agoAs soon as we arrived, a sense of immediate tranquility enveloped us. The setting was absolutely stunning, offering both visual delight and a peaceful retreat for the spirit. The seamless fusion of nature's splendor and serene ambiance made a lasting impression on us. We highly recommend the Pear Tree Cottage to anyone looking for a truly remarkable and relaxing escape.

2 years agoDelightful tree house nestled away in a garden. Hand built by the owner Robert, the treehouse is incredible! We had a very friendly welcome from 6 year old George who gave us an excellent tour - you can pick your own lettuce & tomatoes from the garden and use the local leaves as soap. If you’re looking for a rustic place to stay in nature, this is an excellent very comfortable choice. Would recommend staying for at least a few nights!

3 years agoRobert, Carmen as well as George enabled us to have our most memorable stay during our 10 day vacation in SA. This place was far more than what we expected, unfortunately we were only there for one night. The cabin itself was breathtaking! Located further back on their property, it is placed within a cute and beautiful forest, has its own porch and is built in the most thought through way with SO much love to detail. Adding to that, the vision Rob has to tell is so very interesting and on point. We cannot thank them enough for providing such an experience.

a year agoWhat a nice little hidden gem. If you have kids that like exploring and just having adventures in a little forest, this is it. I get that some of the features of this cabin can be a bit off putting but i will write it up to the experience. We slept well. We had a good time. The kids played more than ever. Winning all around.

2 years agoPerfect for some R&R. It feels like you’re staying in the middle of the forest! Theres stream in front of the cottage with trees all around. Perfect to sit out on the deck, read your book and recharge your batteries. We even picked some raspberries for our breakfast and sorrel for our salad. It was heaven!
