Kamieskroon Cosy Cottage

We had an unexpected layover" one Sunday evening in Dec 2020 & without Michelle's hospitality & advice

Beautiful and comfortable place with a homely feeling. It was a great stop over during our journey. Have to be self sufficient.

Awesome Cosy little place. Got the fireplace going and heated the entire area.Was excellent two night stay.Thanks Michelle and Weston

This was our 2nd visit to this town and there is something that keeps pulling us back; it is quaint, the people are incredibly helpful, there are coffee shops and there is some fun accomodation. we found Cosy Cottages via Google and the booking was really easy. We got an entire cottage (2 bedrooms) to ourselves and it was fully equipped for self-catering. The chap who let us into the cottage returned with enough firewood to get us through the evening. A nice touch was a large water dispenser with filtered water for drinking and ice in the freezer. Comfortable lounge area, and a private patio with views across the hills outside Kamieskroon.And to finish off a unique experience, the local restaurant (closed due to Covid) offered to deliver us dinner to the cottage which came with a starter (soup) and dessert (peaches and cream). Amazing! Thanks guys

stayed over on 23 Dec at a moment's notice.the house very clean with all amenities you desired after a long days drive.loved the air con and spaciousness of the kitchen lounge bedrooms and bathroom.this is one of the better self catering places we've stayed at in all our travelsthanks for an awesome accommodation, cleanliness with beautiful aesthetic feel and views

The room is comfortable fitted with aircon. Small kitchen and lounge. Large, neatly renovated bathroom. I prefer white towels to grey. There was quite a wind at night with noises on the roof. I didn't sleep because of that. Wifi was not working in the unit I was in but they are attending to it.

What a lovely little cottage and ideal for a stopover on our tour of the Northern Cape and West Coast. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Looking at the before and after photos they've done an incredibly job at turning this into a home away from home. Will gladly stay there again.

It's not often that I complain, but I feel compelled to do so now. Unfortunately our stay at Kamieskroon Cosy Cottages was anything but cosy. Firstly, we were overcharged for what we got. It is also not the price advertised on the website or on other accommodation listings. The photos and info on the website and elsewhere are totally misleading. To start with the front door key doesn’t work properly. It took forever to try and open the door every time we needed to unlock it. The kitchen was totally impractical. The microwave unit is so close above, your head touches it. It's dangerous as you bump your head on the sharp corner trying to work there. You can’t see what’s in the pots whilst cooking. It’s just a mission to try and cook. Then on top of that the lighting was dreadful. Again we could nor see a thing when trying to cook something. Behind the two plate stove there are light switches and plugs. Surely this can’t be safe. When cooking they get splashed with fat and steam. The tap at the sink in the kitchen seriously needs to be replaced. It also took us nearly 10 minutes to figure out which way was hot or cold. A lot of water wasted. The bathroom may be wheelchair friendly but again totally impractical, not to mention dangerous. The whole bathroom is wet and slippery after a shower. It was not safe in that bathroom. The towels are ancient, hard and rough like sandpaper. Also could not figure out hot and cold water in the shower so again a lot of water wasted. In the lounge there is a fire place but no utensils to work with. Also not enough plug points in the unit. People traveling need to charge their laptops and cell phones. Also no WiFi. Was told to use my phone to connect. No mirror and plug point for doing make up or using a hairdryer. The light in the bathroom is as poor as the lighting throughout the unit. As for the bedding. No way was the sheets percale as mentioned on the website. All the bedding including duvets and pillows were old, cheap and of bad quality. Complaints are about the quality and what was charged. Little things like not being there to welcome guests, or no brochure or info pack to help guests navigate their way around the area was also a lack of interest and professionalism. Please also clean the braai grid. It’s never been cleaned and disgusting. On top of that there were cigarette butts lying in the braai area. Also no place to sit outside. So you're stuck inside when at the cottage. No instructions of what to do with the key when leaving. Not even a sms/call/WhatsApp to ask if you enjoyed your stay. We were overcharged and miss informed as to what we got. This accommodation really needs to be upgraded or alternatively charge guests far less. Will definitely never stay there again. Alicia

An excellent pick for a trip through Namaqualand. Lovely views of the mountains, an indoor fireplace for chilly evenings and so comfortable - I wish I lived there! Michell was so friendly and welcoming. We even received a bigger unit than we initially booked. Brilliant service and an absolute joy to stay!
