I thought a R400 cleaning fee was a bit steep. I only realised after completing the booking that there was this charge

A very relaxing, peaceful stay with the most beautiful garden!
A beautiful, tranquil and peaceful place. The hosts were very warm and friendly and made us feel at home. The room was comfortable and met our need for the purpose of the stay. I will stay there again!

Magical me time at Mount Joy
Honestly, Mount Joy was exactly what I needed for myself ... An absolutely wonderful experience in the most picturesque setting, upside the hill where you can see for miles.. watch the stars at night and the lightening…

Questions about Mount Joy Cottages

What time is check-in and check-out at Mount Joy Cottages?

Check-in is from 12:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Mount Joy Cottages allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Mount Joy Cottages?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Mount Joy Cottages have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Mount Joy Cottages have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Mount Joy Cottages?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
