    Cranberry Cottage is a great place for a stop over in the little town of Ladybrand. It has very good facilities and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. It is a safe, clean and homely environment.

    We were searching for a place to go after church just to drink a milkshake, we thought about many places, but decided on Cranberry, because the atmosphere is peaceful and ducks quacking we felt relaxed before we began the week. A bird actually sat In front of us and it was a beautiful moment to capture. The service was excellent and the milkshake was made with love for their customers. May I add that a waiter made our milkshakes, and it was delicious. I will definitely go there again. Greetings

    Cranberry Cottage is like opening a box filled with delightful gifts. When you walk through the gate you enter a world of unexpected beauty. An amazing garden, great restaurant, bar with a huge screen. Beautiful rooms and friendly staff. Thank you

    ["Discovering this hidden gem of a guesthouse was an absolute treat!\nWe were welcomed by the security personnel and a staff member from the moment we parked in front of the guesthouse, exiting our car! This really sets Cranberry Cottage apart! Their fantastic staff. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is top-notch. It's obvious they genuinely care about making your experience unforgettable.\nThe atmosphere is so serene, with the sound of water trickling and birds chirping in the background. It's like a natural symphony that instantly relaxes you. The gardens were a sight to behold, with vibrant colours and well maintained. Whether dining indoors or soaking up the sunshine outside, every meal felt like a special treat. Plus, with a generator on standby, there's no need to worry about power cuts ruining your vibe.\nSafety is a big priority here, too. With round-the-clock security and secure parking, you can kick back and relax without a care in the world.\nAnd let's talk about the food \u2013 it's out of this world! Seriously, their biltong and blue cheese quiche is to die for.\nIt's rare to find a place that lets you truly unwind and find your zen, but Cranberry Cottage nails it.\nSo, if you're ever in the Ladybrand area, do yourself a favour and check out Cranberry Cottage.\nTrust me, you won't regret it!",null,[0,226]]

    Wish the kitchen could be more faster in preparing meals. Wi-Fi is poor plus the issue of vouchers.

    On our day trip this was a perfect stop over for cold frappes. Beautiful garden, beautiful interior, lovely staff. Thank you!

    Booked directly on their website with Cranberry in Ladybrand, meaning to book Cranberry in Kathu. Oops... called and emailed immediately to let them know. More than 4 weeks, 7 emails and 15 calls (all ignored) later, after threatening to go to social media and take legal action, Norman gave me a 75% refund citing his cancellation policy. Deal with this guy at your own risk!

    We didn't stay over, but ordered take-aways from the restaurant. The place is beautiful and we were impressed by all they had to offer.That is where it ended, however. We ordered crispy duck and it was offensively bad. We were left with a pile of bones after having to scrape morsels of meat off them. I also had an apple crumble that was totally overpriced for its size, age and sogginess. I see from other reviews thay things are normally better. Such a pity.

    It is a very well done guesthouse. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The owners really did an exceptional job with both the room design and decor. The bedrooms are well layed out with comfortable beds and excellent attention to detail regarding charging ports, cupboard space, etc. The kitchenette has everything you need in a self catering unit. The bathroom consists of both a bath and shower which is convenient when travelling with small children.

    When we got to cranberry the place was beautiful staff was friendly and restaurant felt inviting. we bought a salad and some Alfredo pasta for takeaway. The Alfredo was ok just needed some salt , after i added the salt it was nice, but the salad was disappointing, we had the bacon and chicken salad and asked for some avocado to be added and when we received it half of the bottom of the container was filled with vinegar and salad dressing. This made the salad soggy and overpowered the rest of the ingredients added to the menu.

    Friendly and helpful staff. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant the quality of the food was great. The room across the road from the guesthouse where we stayed was spacious with a comfortable bed and large bathroom. Parking was undercover and behind locked gates and a patrolling guard. Highly recommended

    Cranberry Cottage is certainly outdoing itself and has set the bar simply too high for all the possible competitors. The staff deserves a BIG HIGH 5. To everyone at the Cottage I, keep it up guys
