Absolutely stunning accommodation built on water, surrounded by beautiful nature. This is a perfect place to reconnect with your loved ones and nature and enjoy peace, relaxation and tranquillity. We absolutely loved the rowing boat! The accommodation is well equipped and spacious with an amazing outside area. The glass patio is also stunning! I'd recommend this place to anyone, young, old, as a couple and as a family.

Thatcher's Rest is a once in a lifetime MUST VISIT! Pictures are beautiful and text descriptions also, but there is much more to enjoy when you visit the real thing. Thatcher's Rest is a place to restore your mind, body and soul and get in touch with nature to be a fulfilled happy person. Will definitely stay with the awesome hosts John & June again. What a privilege!!!

A wonderful home for those who love nature, tranquillity, solitude and fishing. A neat cosy house in such a beautiful place, with a beautiful deck where you can spend not only sunny days but evenings around the boma. We spent an absolutely wonderful time there alone with nature.

We had a wonderful time. We loved the beautiful house in an incredible setting. The cottage was breathtakingly beautiful. The loveliest place I have ever stayed in.

Always a pleasure. Beautiful surroundings and beautiful house. Well equipped and clean. Have fun fishing and go hiking in the mountains. Second time we've been there and will always come back. Thank you so much Smith family.

Thatcher’s Rest is an absolute haven of tranquillity. The love and attention to every little detail are visible throughout this stunning cottage. And what a breath-taking setting!

Exceptional stay. Thatcher's Rest is an amazing place, we have so much fun in an upmarket establishment and although the weather was not conducive to fishing, there was so much else to do. What a cosy double story thatch house on the dam. Will return tomorrow if I could.

Had a great time relaxing and resting. Beautiful surroundings. Silence is breathtaking. Neat, very fully equipped cottage. Absolute feast to be able to stay there. What you booked is what you got.

Amazing getaway where the service and environment was top notch, highly recommended! From our arrival to departure it was an unforgettable experience. The environment is beautiful, peaceful and very neat. Decor of Thatcher's Rest is stylish and of excellent quality. We could relax and have a good rest. The dam is on your doorstep and mountains around you, very beautiful nature. Food for the soul. We will come again for sure. Thanks to everyone who made it so special.

Fantastic accommodation, the tranquility is indescribable. We had a great time relaxing. Everything you need to relax and enjoy nature can be found here. Good value for money.

Heaven on earth. Thatcher's Rest is just the right place to break away from the busy city. The house is fully equipped with everything you need. We really enjoyed it and will definitely go back again. June and John, thank you very much for being such great hosts and for sharing your piece of heaven on earth with us. We look forward to visiting again very soon.

Most beautiful getaway weekend. Great for the soul. Definitely a piece of heaven on earth and privilege to be able to see it. Can't wait to go again!

What an incredible experience! When we arrived we were breathless. Thatcher's Rest is really an experience. The cottage has everything one needs for such a blissful getaway weekend. June immediately made us feel welcome and explained everything to us very well. The house looks exactly like the photos, no unpleasant surprises. I would recommend it to anyone anytime. It's really a mind-body-and-soul reset place.

Great Location, peace and tranquility at it's best. Arriving at Thatchers Rest you start to relax immediately, sitting outside in the boma area and overlooking the dam. The inside of the cottage is great and very comfortable, with all that you need from large mugs for coffee or wine glasses. For electricity you have an automatic generator which works really well so at night you really have some peace and quiet. The large fireplace inside is very nice and we will be back in winter.

Thatcher's Rest Cottage is the epitome of the private romantic "cottage on the lake". This "cottage on the lake" exceeded all our expectations. There is everything from a cozy log fire, to hot water bottles for cold evenings and a rowing boat for the pond! The detail and design of the cottage was done by the owner himself - and the craftsmanship and ingenious layout optimize the incredible natural beauty around you. The feeling and visual effect of literally staying on the water is incredible.

What a beautiful place to be at! What an incredible time to be able to participate in this piece of "Heaven on Earth". The place is absolutely beautiful! We were received very kindly and were taken to the beautiful place. It is clean, tidy, more than comfortable and very beautiful. We enjoyed the frogs in the evenings, the little hens and geese came to visit near the deck. There was a very large catfish that also came around and Kobus and Michaela had a great time fishing and paddling. We were entertained on Saturday late afternoon by some buck that chased each other and jumped up and down with pleasure. Thank you very much for this beautiful place, we will definitely come again.
