"This is very poor service from SafariNow and Vleidam Guest Farm who could not assist with the refund. Will never use SafariNow for any bookings"
"We stayed in cottage 1 and it was awesome. It brought back so many memories of childhood farm living. Absolute peacefulness and serenity. The kitchen was very well equipped and the display of some old appliances was heart warming. Our 3year old grand son was ecstatic and totally overwhelmed with the interaction and display of the farm animals and being able to touch a little tortoise and feeding him some apple . The play equipment and small pool was thoroughly enjoyed. The dcor in the cottage was also beautiful and it was amazing to read the articles on the history of the farm. The matrasses on the beds were still in good condition as well as the lounge suite. The outside lounging areas were also thoroughly enjoyed. We didn't want to come back home. Definitely well worth the price. Thank you Christine/Nikki/Hester"
"Alles was wonderlik. Die lekkerste plaaskuier wat ons nog gehad het. Nikki het ons soos familie laat voel met haar gasvryheid en ons gaan defnitief weer daar kuier"
"This was an awesome experience. The family enjoyed it, the peacefulness and the beautiful views on the farm. The Hosts, Nikki and John were great. On arrival there was freshly baked farm bread with butter and strawberry jam in the kitchen. We were taken the next morning on a tour of the farm and the town Koringberg. This was extremely informative and interesting. My granddaughter enjoyed collecting the chicken eggs and feeding the lambs their milk bottle. The cottage is extemely comfortable and has all that a family needs, from DSTV to a fire place in the kitchen. This is definitely a place to relax, enjoy the fresh farm air and the peaceful environment away from the busy city life, with very friendly Hosts. My wife forgot her jacket there and Nikki was kind enough to mention she is coming to Town and will bring it with. This is Hosts going beyond the extra mile, due to their awesome nature. Like Nikki says Vleidam is "Hemel op Aarde". I fully agree and will definitely go there again. Cheers Elton"
"Ideal location to use as base for sightseeing the West Coast towns and villages. Accommodation on the farm (in Cottage 2) was great with all the necessary amenities (and more). Nikki and her staff made sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Will not hesitate in recommending Vleidam Guest Farm."
"Magnificent.Take a walk around the farm and meet all the animals."
"The accommodation was immaculate, so neat with great attention to detail. Our gracious host, Nikki, made us feel so welcome, and like we truly belonged on the farm. The tranquility and peace was exactly what we came for. A remarkable getaway. See you soon!"
"Everything was perfect ! Small personal touches e.g. flowers, home baked bread and chocolates were appreciated. Beautiful bathroom and linen!"
"We had a wonderful, relaxing stay over a long weekend. Nikki was a lovely hostess and we can't wait to go back again! Highly recommend and so beautiful!"
"Loved our stay, it was very basic, clean and straightforward. Kids loved exploring the farm life - magnificent male turkey (who we decided to name Roger) showing off, albino peahen sitting on her eggs, and the beautiful landscape was wonderful. The pics on the site didn't match up to what we stayed in, but it served our needs. Thank you."
"Interesting old renovated farmhouse. Very spacious. And a lot of treats to welcome us: the home made bread was really appreciated."
"Dit was n ongelooflik pragtige plek om te bly.Ek sal enige tyd enig iemand n verwysing gee en hul sal dit ongelooflik lekker vind om die MOOI OU HUIS TE WAARDEER. Ek kan nie die onderstaande afdelings "rate" nie. Ek sal oor die algemeen alles n gemiddeld van 4 gee."
"The cottage was very well equipped and very comfortable, and Nikki is a wonderful hostess. I would most definitely recommend this as a place to escape for a few days from the business of life."
"The accommadation was more than adequet but the photos do it greater justice. We enjoyed our short time there but there was nothing to make it stand out. All our requirements were met and we left with a smile on our faces."
"Everything in unit was functional and interior is beautifully decorated, with attention to detail.Fantastic view from porch.Calming effect of sheep and other farm animals."
"So comfortable, so picturesque, so peaceful! We loved the little splash pool and all the space for our toddler to run around. Lovely boma/braai area. And Nikki went out of her way to make us feel welcome, from the fresh farm bread to all the toys and books for our kids. We will definitely go back!"
"Amazing pelace with peace galore. Beautiful old buildings and awesome bed. Worth a visit"
" Was baie beindruk met pragtige en gerieflike akkomodasie by Vleidam gastehuis. John en Nikki , julle kan met reg trots voel op julle plek. Daar is soveel aandag gegee aan detail soos die geskiedenis van die opstal en dingetjies wat veral die dames sal waardeer en oplet, bv. die babkamergeriefies. En dan word mens nog bederf met vars plaasbrood. Sal defnitief die verblyf by ons vriende aanbeveel. <br />"
"We absolutely loved our stay at Vleidam. Nikki was so hospitable, and all the little touches (like farm bread and beautiful freshflowers in most rooms) made us feel very welcome. The sunsets at Vleidam are to die for, and we can't wait to go back."
