A beautiful relaxed weekend in a beautiful tranquil and spacious home with well thought out amenities and plenty of space. The views are breathtaking (day and night) and the host responsive and very helpful. The place is pristine and very homely. The house is located in a safe place and is well placed near restaurants and activities within 5km from the house. The house is also kid friendly with lots of games to play in-house. I can’t wait to book another trip to the berg at the same place❤️ This is truly a home away from home ✨

we had a nice weekend away close to the Berg (20mins drive away from the berg/Monks Cowl). very spacious house and nice outdoor areas to sit and take in views. it got very hot so a pool would be a great addition to this property. we had a few issues with accessing/leaving the property as the remote opening of the gate did not work well due to a technical error. the prior comms and requested paperwork felt a bit overwhelming and unnecessary. guests are required to either pay a R5000 damage deposit or a R400 damage waiver. however, there is no 'security' or compensation for guests to enjoy in case of any unforseen circumstances or inconveniences (as in our case there was a 12 hour power outage although house was solar powered/off grid). but all in all a nice place in a nice location. paperwork and comms can be streamlined.

We appreciated the beautiful accommodations, and Euphoric's responsiveness to our inquiries. We had a very enjoyable stay in the quiet and beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed access to some great books in the living room and slept well in the beds. We appreciated the host quickly bringing a french press and power cord for the lamp. Our primary concern was the lack of a manual or guide at the property, for instance on how to operate the TV or other appliances. Euphoric's link to a webpage on local activities did not open when we clicked on it, but we were able to figure out some fun outdoor activities nearby and enjoyed our long weekend.
