We were part of a block booking - we all paid the same rate. We were placed in a small annexure and had to SHARE a bathroom. We had no air-con, just a very wobbly ceiling fan and no TV. This room was quite obviously the 'children's' part of a family room.When we questioned Tony, he simply said - see... More

I have stayed 2 nights at the Blue Cottage and I really felt home. The 2 owners are so friendly! I travelled alone and they joined me for dinner every night. It didn't felt like a stay in a resort, but staying with family. More

From the moment you are met at the airport by Tony you know that you made the right choice. The Blue Cottages are cute, comfortable and surrounded by lush gardens. The pool is refreshing on a hot day. The food is amazing and when you sit at the outdoor patio with Tony, Tursha, and any of the wonderful guests that... More

Friendly people, a wonderful garden with lots of birds. On a good location. Yes the cottages could use a little upgrading but it was not disturbing for us. It was clean and the new owners make you feel at home. Good value for money. More

Our stay at Blue Cottages was truly relaxing. The country atmoshere and beautiful garden setting is all that a city slicker needs to feel rejuvenated. The new owners have gone out of there way to make us feel comfortable and was more helpful than anyone could expect. My children fell ill on our travels and our hostess went out of... More

You will be so happy if you choose to stay at Blue Cottages Country House - I promise! I was very hesitant to book here after reading one of these reviews, but I am so glad that I did book. I went on the advice of i-escape.com, one of my favorite travel websites (check it out!). Please take note of... More

We stayed here one night on our way from Pafuri Camp to Hazyview. The directions were completely wrong - so we spent 2 hours looking for the place in the dark - not helped by the phone number on the itinerary being wrong. This was probably the travel agents fault rather than the B&B. When we arrived the owners had... More

I have to say that the Blue Cottages web site does not do the place justice: I was expecting a quaint little inn--and it is that--but it is also situated in some of the most stunning country I have ever seen. Minutes after leaving Eastgate Airport in Hoedspruit, I knew there was magic in the air. Owners Maria and her... More

Well, the stay started rather strangely, since the owner had nothing mentionning our reservation (fortunately I had a copy with me, written by...herself!). Anyway, there was a cottage available, so no big problem. The garden settings are great, the food too. The cottages are very good for value. Comfy and nice as for the bedroom. We had included in the... More
