Wellstead Cottage was so beautiful. The home was very well decorated with all the conveniences one would need when on holiday. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We would highly recommend this home to anyone who wants a lovely Berg stay.

We had a lovely stay. We had our dog with us and it was so well suited to pets that it made the stay stress free. The views of the valley were amazing with a host of animals to be seen on the other side of the fence. 200m from a fuel station where you could buy basic necessities. The house was well equipped. The beds were comfortable with lots of warm blankets. Will definitely stay again. It really exceeded our expectations.

Had a great time! Beautiful views and being surrounded by a game farm made it even better🥳 The house had everything we needed and a great outdoor area to have fires and also braai. It also has a cozy indoor fireplace perfect for reading. Monks Cowl is also super close where there are amazing hikes up in the mountains.
