Nice, but could improve
It is always very difficult to comment on a structure in a different country, the risk being that of applying standards that are incorrect.
It is even more so when the landlord, Mrs. Molly in this case, is such a nice person.
Said that, the structure is very nice: a large country house in a beautiful garden, with a huge porch were it's possible to relax. The rooms were large, the beds were enough confortable, not so much the pillows, very thick and hard. The fireplace in the living room was prepared and ready to be lighted.
What was not really in line with expectations was the rather approximate cleanliness, The cups in the kitchen were mostly dirty, so the water heater (i.e. the only items we used of the kitchen), and the level of cleanliness of the floor was the same inside and outside: well acceptable in the porch, much less in the bedrooms and bathrooms.
Final bad surprise, just before switching off the light for sleeping: a huge (really huge) spider on the wall in one of the bedrooms. The quality of our sleep was obviously very badìy affected by that. Ok, it's a country house and no cleaning can assure that spiders come in, so no blame on the property. But guests should be aware of this risk.
Possible improvements:
1) provide different kinds of pillows in the different beds: not a pillow menu, just some different pillows in the six beds, so that guests can make their own selections.
2) put more care in the cleaning

Weekend away in June
Great location in Graskop, you can walk to all shops and restaurants. The Cottage was well equipped with all the essential utensils. Given it was winter the cottage was cold - the fire provided a bit of heat but would suggest to bring heaters.
I would go back and stay there if I visited the area again.

Warmth away from home
Had a wonderful, cosy stay with all that we needed in safe, clean, serene surroundings.
If not for the long drive that took us 11 hours we would come back more often!

Cosy and Comfortable
We stayed the weekend, but could have stayed for the week. Cosy beds and a wonderfully covered stoep to sit outside and enjoy your coffee.

Our Stay at Molly's Garden Cottage
Our stay was excellent. We were arriving late so Karen very kindly booked a table for us at the local restaurant - what great service!
The cottage is very well furnished and equipped - wood was supplied for the open fire which was great and the kitchen had everything you could possibly require.

Comfortable stay
My husband and I recently stayed at Molly's Garden Cottage with our 2 year old son and 5 month old baby. We found the house to be very comfortable for us. Each bedroom had a nice bathroom with a tub in one and shower in the other. The owners were very attentive and checked in with us both nights to make sure that all was well.

Tranquil seclusion
Molly's Garden Cottage is a spacious, well equipped home away from home. Surrounded by a forest type garden provides tranquillity and privacy.

Lovely
We had a lovely stay at Molly's, felt like home away from home. Excellent service and a warm welcome "home" after a day of sightseeing. It's well situated from the attractions surrounding Graskop. Will be back!
