Un grand merci pour ce charmant séjour dans une si jolie maison où l’accueil, le raffinement, la gentilesse sont la spécialité. Le havre de paix et de repos de journees fatigantes.
A big thank you for this charming stay in such a pretty house, where the reception, the refinement, the desire to please are the speciality. A marvellous haven of peace and relaxation, for resting after exhausting days.

Very friendly, comfortable and quiet. 
T. Tonner, Scotland, UK

I had a great time in Johannesburg and south Africa as a whole, taking Back with me many memories, but the one that will always stand out is here, where I stayed in “The Dovecote Cottage”. I felt very comfortable here especially coming to another continent for the first time. The hospitality from both of you, Mr. and Mrs. Molteno was exceptional and your maids and workers were always courteous. I would be glad to stay here again when I return.
Louis Wan, Middlesex, UK

Excellent. Best establishment of its kind we have stayed in so far in South Africa

Like ships that pass in the night we met but briefly for a few weeks, but, in that short moment of time we found a haven of peace, tranquility, and elegance. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Accueil trés chaleureux.
A very warm welcome.
Dr. Marie Frank, France 
Chantilly, France


Your inn is absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail, the quality and impeccable taste of everything, the outstanding food, it was all superb. The sprigs of fresh lavender on the towels and bed linen was an especially nice touch. Perhaps most important was the genuinely warm personal touch that you and Charles provided, while being respectful of our privacy. The only complaint I could make is that there was too much wonderful food!
Anthony Flesch, New York, USA

We have discovered this wonderful place in your guide and there are just not enough words to express how delightful was our stay. It is very relaxing and the hosts do everything to make you feel at home. And last but not least, the food is delicious and the wine collection is fantastic.
Sandrine & Alain Samy, Paris, France

I found this place one of the nicest I’ve been in. I hope the rest of my stay in SA will be as warm and friendly. Thanks a million.
