Moortop Cottages — Hotel in Theewaterskloof Local Municipality

We had an amazing stay at Moortop. So peaceful and ideallic. We booked two cottages next to each other for 2 families with children (Panorama and Granny Smith cottages).

The cottages themselves were very well appointed and nicely furnished and had everything we needed.

For loadshedding there was also a small portable gas stove, extra bottled water and extra lamps if needed. There were two bedrooms (one with double bed and another with two singles) and they also had outside beams hooked up to an alarm for extra peace of mind.

And The extra touches like rusks, coffee, tea and sugar were a cherry on the top.

We loved every minute of it. The cottages are situated literally on the edge of the apple orchard a few meters away that they overlook, and you can walk through them with picturesque views of the mountains in the background.

Each cottage has an indoor fireplace for keeping warm, and a lovely outdoor braai area as well which we enjoyed thoroughly while sipping wine overlooking the apple orchards. While the kids were safe, running around the grass area playing together.

We also went for a swim in the dam and walked through the farm and orchards. So peaceful and ideallic.

Rowena was friendly and gracious and we quickly felt like we'd known her for years after chatting.

Thank you so much Rowena, we will definitely be very keen to return for another visit, and hopefully try out that jetty some time in...

A Serene Hidden Gem

We had the most delightful weekend at Moortop Cottages, staying in the charming Sundowner Cottage, an ideal retreat for our family. Thoughtfully equipped with everything one might need for a self-catering stay, the cottage was immaculately clean, cosy, and beautifully maintained. The outdoor braai area was a lovely addition, and the indoor fireplace provided the perfect touch of warmth for the winter evenings.

The farm itself is the epitome of tranquillity. Morning and evening strolls through the orchards and alongside the dams were truly restorative — a balm for the soul.

Rowena, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to engage with. From the outset, she was gracious, attentive, and incredibly helpful, both prior to our arrival and throughout our stay. Her hospitality made us feel genuinely welcome, and the experience truly felt like a home away from home.

Our children thoroughly enjoyed the expansive outdoor space, as well as the thoughtful additions in the cottage, from board games and cards to bats and balls. In fact, our three-year-old daughter was heartbroken to leave, insisting she wanted to live there forever!

Thank you, Rowena, for a truly memorable weekend escape. We will most...
