"Love the simplicity, encouraging quality time with friends and family"
"Lovely environment with nice clean accommodation and very helpful staff."
"Lovely cottage, very Friendly owners"
"Simple accommodation which was appropriate for the location<br/><br/>Establishments response:<br/><br/>Hello Michael <br/><br/>Thanks alot for your kind words on safari it is much appreciated!!! please contact us again in the future if you want to come visit us again for some peace and quiet<br/><br/>kind regards<br/>"
"Would have appreciated beds being made before arrival. No towels provided and we were caught short as we didn't bring our own."
"Well positioned for flower season. Basic cottage which can be bit cold (sleeping bag did the trick) but it us pet friendly, they sell wood and Cecile is so friendly. The cost is fairly priced for what u get the only advice I would give is bring ur own braai grid and cleaning liquid. The weavers in the big tree at back door was a delight and we spotted a gennette right at the cottage in evening so that was cool!!"
"The place is very peaceful and close to nature. Unavailability of wifi and cellphone network coverage (at the chalets) gave us more time to talk, and have wonderful times. The hosts are very sociable and helpful.Oh, and the delicious oranges!!!However, a little touch and replacement of some old stuff will definitely make this place a gem"
"DON'T go in summer, you will fry as there is no water. There is a small rock pool that you have to travel 2kms to get to and nothing special, litter there, and share with the whole camp site!!! Our poor dogs and us were soooo hot!!!! We even spoke to the owner and really quizzed her about the water there before travelling up and she lied and said there were places in the river up to your knees and waist, WRONG!! I hate it when oqwners of estabvlishments lie. We left after 2 days (arrived late 1st day) having booked for 5 and asked for a refund, nothing to date!"
"Nothing needs to be improved, chalets are well equiped, ablution facilities sufficient and enjoyed surrounding nature and peace and quiet."
"we enjoyed our stay so much. we had a wonderful time. thx so much"
"We had a great time! With no TV and wifi, we facussed on family time, nature and God. What a blessed time together. I have almost forgotten how it feels to just relax and enjoy nature!"
"Peaceful and relaxing as usual... such a gem"
"We gave the keys back and left immediately.No running water.Braai grid was a piece of rusty wire.No attempt has been made to make the place even remotely habitable."
"Loved the serenity and tranquility of the place and the hospitality of Nicky and Cecile"
"We arrived at 7:30 pm and the hosts did not know w had booked. We were Given our accommodation and believed it was the wrong place as we only had two forks and two knives go 4 people and no beds made up and not enough hot water in the morning for 4 people"
"Everything was great. Loved the view the campsite.We have enjoyed it."
"We had a lovely time, the place is a real gem."
"Dit was 'n heerlike ervaring. Niks en niemand naby nie, pragtige natuurskoon, alles wat mens nodig het. Vriendelke ontvangs en onmiddelike aandag aan die klein probleempie met die warm water.Al wat gepla het was dat die rivier so laag was; ek sou graag 'n vissie wou gaan vang het.Doen so voort!"
"Ek sal graag Desember weer daarnatoe gaan. Dit is rustig en stil. Weg van die geraas waar ons bly. Daar is nie TV`s nie, ons kon net lekker kuier. Pad is n bietjie sleg."
"On arrival I noticed that the grass had been roughly slashed that morning with a weedeater. The braai grid was useless as it was burned through and thefireplace had not been cleaned. on entering the cottage we saw that the beds had to be made and there were no towels toilet paper or soap. Where we camping or staying in a farm cottage? It took us all of 1 minute to lock the grill throw the keys inside and leave. After two days the owners had not noticed that no one has stayed there or just did not care. We found other accommodation the otherside of clanwilliam with made beds and towels on a farm with breakfast for the same price.Zero stars here."
"The stay was lovely, neat and clean and tranquil! The dirt road was a slight surprise.We will be back!"
"The description and pictures of the camp site on this website is misleading. It does not mention that there is a huge cow pasture between the camp site and the river. Hence the cow pasture is right in front of the camp site with no river visible. The reed thatch as in the picture is also run down and dilapidated. Braai facilities are also quite lacking as a few steel drums are scattered about. There is not as much as a rubbish bin in sight. We booked for two nights and ended up packing up after the first night. Please request updated pictures and review the description of the camp site to avoid future disappointment."
"We really enjoyed our weekend here. A very pretty site, friendly people and lovely hot showers!"
"We enjoyed the remoteness and absolute silence around. Very dark at night. We stayed in the Doringboom cottage and it is a little 'tired' but perfect for an overnight stop. A bit misleading finding the owners as we saw the cottages and drove down to them but then drove on about another two kilometres to the farm to get the key. Could be a notice to this effect."
"We had a wonderful, peaceful and tranquil time in the cottage. I would recommend it to city dwellers who urgently need a place to distress. The cottage are adequately furnished for the price that you pay for the unit. The tog of the duvets should be reconsidered - a bit to thin for this time of the season - seeing the cottage do not get full sunshine. A WELCOMING BUNDLE OF WOOD would be greatly appreciated."
"Quaint cottages, nice big fireplaces, ample space and well supplied. Great value for money! Perfect for a hiking weekend in the Cederberg."
"We stayed at the campsite and it was an authentic farm stay.... no fuss and frills but amazing beauty around us every day! Absolutely lovely and we will be back!!!!"
"We had a fantastic time. Facilities were clean, well kept and great value. We will be back."
"We stayed for six nights in the stand alone chalet, I really did enjoy the stay, the silence at night and all the birds during the day was a change from the hustle and bustle of city life.Although very plain and simple there was everything we needed, at the price you pay I would say it was good value for money."
"Thank you it was lovely! The owner Jan was very friendly."
"Enjoyed the stay, friendly service, excellent camping facilities, nature!"
"Good value for money - Had a great weekend thank you - beautiful and peaceful surroundings."
"As jy nie n kar of huis in sig wil he nie, is keurbos die plek vir jou...voel soos op oupa hulle se ou plaashuis."
"The cottage is well equipted and perfectly located for a private holiday. To the fainthearted that do not like crawling insects, there are loads of them. overall the expierience of being in the "bush" was good till the sun set."
