Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Such an amazing stay.
Situated in the heart of George, close to the George Dam where there are many walking, running and cycling routes. Such a beautiful self catering cottage with the friendliest and nicest hosts. I highly recommend Acorns Rest.

Great Holiday
We really enjoyed our time at Acorns Rest.
Christene and Onns were fantastic hosts
They were helpful without being intrusive. They even made my wife's birthday special, with a gift and card she was not expecting with being away from home.
The cottage was everything that we could have wished for, very clean,tidy and well equipped.
We will definitely stay at Acorns Rest when next in the area.

A very pleasant stay with excellent hosts
I stayed here recently with my two children for 7 nights. We used it as a base to explore George and surroundings. It is a great location in a peaceful neighbourhood, with shops around the corner to buy groceries and such. The cottage was very neat and tidy and had everything we needed. Highly recommended.

This cottage completely surpassed our expectations. Wonderful stay!
We are a family of 5 and it is always difficult to find a decent place to overnight where I can at least expect the place to be clean. Acorns rest was more than that. It is spacious, it was immaculately clean and all the sheets on the beds were crisp and fresh. My wife couldn't believe her eyes when she noticed that there is even a washing machine in the flat. Will definitely use this spot as a base to explore George next time.
