• "Horrible Gravel Road"

  24 November 2019

  "Warn travellers about the horrible 15km gravel road and also not to arrive after dark or travel on this road in the dark.There also wasnt coffee or tea as mentioned in advert."

• "Peace and tranquility"

  "The remoteness of the place was amazing."

• "Quanit and quiet"

  01 October 2018

  "What a beautiful setting! The dams on the farm are full and fishing is great, offering both trout and bass. The surroundings are beautiful and the owners are accommodating and show great care. Our only concern was the road leading into the farm ... the last 18km is a dirt/gravel road that undoubtedly does tremendous damage to one's vehicle. I'm not sure if anything can be done about it, as there are several lodges down that road, but admittedly it is a detterant from future visits to this incredible place for us. For people visiting in future we would recommend a 4x4, and even then, aviod travelling in the evening - it's an incredibly stressful road."

  "We loved the old spacious farmstead and the fact that we could walk, cycle, fish and enjoy the whole farm"

• "Die hemelse stilte"

  29 December 2017

  "Huis kort dringend aandag. Dak lek in sitkamer by kaggel en in breide kamers. Toilet lek. Die bad se warmwater is die kleur van rooigrond. Dink die pype is geroes. Huis het muwwerig geruik alhoewel al die vensters oop was toe ons daar aangekom het. Verder is die nodigste daar. Ons het net braaipan en mikrogolf gebruik. Het gesukkel met gasstoof. Ons het saans gebraai. Wat vreemd was is dat ons vir ons 2 yorkies moes betaal maar die plekkie is nie Pet friendly nie. Ons hou al 8 jaar met hul vakansie en oral waar ons gebly en betaal het was daar n omheining om die plek of daar was n court yard of n hekkie op die stoep. Indien die plek dit nie gehad het, het die eienaar dit genoem. Ons moes die 2 heeltyd aan hul leibande hou wanneer ons buite gesit het, want die twee plaashonde was gereeld daar. Dus n lekker plek om te rus as foutjies uitgesorteer word. Maar die plekkie is nie ingerig vir mense wat met hul dierekinders wil vakansie hou nie. Veral nie vir miniatuur yorkies nie."

• "Beautiful spot"

  14 November 2016

  "We had a lovely time at Granny's Cottage, a magnificent vast farm, beautiful walks and scenery. The cottage was clean, cosy and comfy - a real treat"

• "Secluded simplicity"

  17 October 2016

  "We stayed at O'Grady's as part of a planned get away from it all weekend. This was achieved as Granny Green cottage is really away from it all. The cottage is basic but comfortable enough with an equipped little kitchenette, and two en suite bathrooms. We would have preferred a shower in the main bathroom, (but that is a personal choice) as we are far more inclined to shower than to bath. We loved the peace and quiet and the owners were kind enough to arrange firewood for us. This enabled us the have long evenings of quality time around a camp fire. The only comment I wish to make is that the district road to the farm is not in a good condition and is an need of repair. Otherwise we had a very relaxed weekend of lazing around, mountain biking and golfing. <br/>Thank you<br/>Corrie Appleton"

• "Wonderful weekend away with excellent fishing!"

  21 September 2015

  "We had an absolutely incredible weekend away at Ouma's at O'Grady's. Stunning scenery, gorgeous old farm house, breathtaking walks with the dogs, wonderful hospitality and excellent fishing in a variety of beautiful, well stocked trout dams. Could not recommend them highly enough! We will definitely be back."

• "Farm Style"

  07 September 2015

  "<div>We were 2 couples sharing the Granny Cottage, would have been nice if both rooms had double beds, but we managed. The geyser doesn't have enough hot water for everyone to have a hot shower the same day, we had hot shower the next morning. There issome maintenance needed on the cottage, ceiling, kitchen etc.2 pots wasn't enough to cook for 4 adults. </div><div></div><div>An awesome property with great views, great for more than one night, we stayed for one night, and the publicroad to the farm is in need of grading, therefore 1 night stay is not enough to enjoy the place.</div><div></div><div>Overall a potentially good place to stay. </div><div></div><div></div>"

• "Weekend at O'Grady's"

  17 December 2014

  "We had a fantastic stay at O'Grady's. It was so relaxing. A serene environment with beautiful scenery everywhere. We enjoyed long walks, and swimming in the river. Thank you so much to Bernard, Bokkie and Riette for their kindness and hospitality."

• "Lovely!"

  18 August 2014

  "Thank you so much for a lovely stay. We felt completely welcome, the accommodation was great and the scenery lovely. A place to go when you want peace and quiet, but with the small comforts of town not too far away. Thank you."

• "Grannies Cottage"

  17 June 2014

  "The cottage is small and relatively clean except for all the pet hairs on the furniture. The kitchen is to small to cook any meals in because of the lack of work space. Fishing was not great thus we were a bit disappointed!"

• "Ouma's Accomodation"

  05 May 2014

  "We were a two families of four adults as well as four children and must say we had a great time. It is a massive house with lots of space and is well kitted out with all the basic requirements.The dams are spaced across the farm which ensures that you do not feel crowded. Trout fishing for me as a newbie was also good although challenging as the surroundings around the dams are kept natural.Although the dirt road from Dullstroom was terrible I will certainly visit O'Grady's again."

• "Fabulous and More!"

  22 April 2014

  "Not only is O'Grady's a great place to unwind and relax due to the amazing and peaceful views and landscape but the O'Grady's hospitality is awesome. At a very early hour and without a moment's hesitation the O'Grady's clan and our neighbour (also a weekend guest) came to our rescue for a medical emergency. You guys are the best. Thanks again for the honour and privilege of sharing your lovely farm but more importantly meeting such genuine and kind people. We will definitely be back!"

• "Grannys Cottage Review"

  09 December 2013

  "Wonderfully clean and well-equipped cottage! Comfortable bed with beautiful linen and stunning garden and farm views. The owners were friendly and warm and helpful and the cottage is situated in a peaceful, quiet area of the farm-very relaxing! Good fishing too and the cottage was a perfect distance from the fishing dams.Lovely running trails and beautiful sunsets!"
