Even better than we expected! by

When we arrived at Forty Winks, we were sad that we had only booked for one night! Such an incredible location, and the cottage itself was just so clean, tastefully decorated and well designed! We will definitely be going back!




Wonderful stay, wish we could stay longer, fireplace and underfloor heating an absolute winner! Place is very tastefully decorated. Had everything we needed. Will definitely be back!


Magnificent nature by

Beautiful views, serene surroundings, tastefully furnished, hospitable hosts, proximity to meander attractions


What a relaxing weekend by

My husband and I stayed at Forty Winks over the weekend and we both agreed it is by far the most relaxing place we have stayed at. The house is fully equipped and even has heated floors and towel rails. We went for a walk down to the dam, which was a great way to see the property. The best part was being able to sit on the veranda and watch the zebra walk past. I would highly recommend Forty Winks if you are looking for an escape from the city.


Exceptional Attention to detail by

Loved it all, all the little extras, fresh eggs for us, little condiments and home baked rusks for early morning tea. Loved it all. Highly recommended. Colin was attentive to us and very welcoming. Had very little time to actually appreciated the surroundings to due to inclement weather but a beautiful farm very well maintained and just all round a lovely space.


Breath of fresh air! by

Colin was so welcoming and hospitable! Most amazing views, great accommodation... thank you for a wonderful relax!


Picturesque forty winks by

Beautiful scenery with a peaceful and tranquil setting, will definitely go back!! The owners went out of their way to make it extra special, with eggs and milk in the fridge and cosy fireplace!! Comfortable and very private!! Thank you*


Views for days! by

What a gem of a place to stay, the owners are divine adding lovely little touches like fresh milk and farm eggs in the fridge... we also forgot to bring cooking oil which they also so kindly lent us to make our breakfast. The cottages are gorgeously finished with underfloor heating and a homely fire place. And the bath tub was pure bliss! Thank you so much Colin, our second stay and we can't wait for a third!
