Pragtige berghut in 'n prentjiemooi omgewing!

Ons het heerlik gekuier. Die berghut was baie gerieflik met alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Die reuse kaggel in die leefvertrek was 'n wenner en die WiFi en TV met DSTV 'n aangename verrassing. Die hot tub was heerlik, 'n mens kan vir ure daar sit en na die stilte luister en die mooi omgewing geniet. Die diens was uitstekend en toe ons nie warm water gehad het nie, het iemand baie vinnig die probleem uitgesorteer. Dit is 'n baie spesiale plekkie, ons sal vir seker weer gaan kuier!

Beautiful mountain hut in a picture-perfect setting!

We had a great time. The mountain hut was very comfortable with everything one needs. The giant fireplace in the living room was a winner and the WiFi and TV with DSTV a pleasant surprise. The hot tub was lovely, one could sit there for hours listening to the silence and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The service was excellent and when we didn't have hot water someone sorted out the problem very quickly. It is a very special place, we will definitely visit again!

Big skies, beautiful space.

Ribbok Mountain Cottage offered huge skies, the Milky Way viewed from a hot tub, stunning mountain vistas, a deep shady veranda, comfy beds and leisurely walks. We saw wild Ribbok grazing and enjoyed being far away from civilisation. We were glad that our car has high ground clearance as the 5.5km road to the cottage is very rocky. A low car would not have made it.

Ontsettend baie geniet, en sal vir seker weer gebruik maak van die bestemming.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike naweek, die fasiliteite was voldoende en ons het heerlik ontspan en die natuurskoon geniet. Die bestemming verg 'n bietjie beplanning en om voorbereiding te tref vir die uitstappie sal sorg dat jy 'n onvergeetlike tyd daar beleef.

Die afsondering, natuurskoon en stilte was onvergelykbaar. Baie dankie!

Ons het baie lekker gebly, want die omgewing van die kliphuis sowel as die 5 km pad daarheen loop deur 'n ongerepte veldblomparadys. Middel Oktober was ook die regte tyd om verskeie inheemse orgideetjies te kry wat in die klam skaduwees tussen en onder die renosterbosse wegkruip. Dit sal goed wees as besoekers daarop attent gemaak kan word dat daar 'n aansienlike trappie af na die hoofslaapkamer is wat 'n mens nie in die halfskemer raaksien as jy die eerste keer inkom nie, veral ouer mense wat sleg kan seerkry wanneer hulle val. Vuurhoutjies vir die gasstoof sal ook gaaf wees.

The seclusion, scenery and silence were incomparable. Thank you very much!

We had a very nice stay, because the surroundings of the stone house as well as the 5 km road to it run through an unspoilt wildflower paradise. Mid-October was also the right time to find various native orchids that hide in the damp shadows between and under the rhinoceros bushes. It would be good if visitors could be made aware that there is a considerable step down to the master bedroom which one does not notice in the half-twilight when you first enter, especially older people who can be badly hurt when they fall. Matches for the gas stove would be nice too.

Verruklik, asemrowend!

Ons soek gereeld 'n bietjie wegbreek en probeer altyd die klein skatkissies vind. En oh my word! Wat 'n absolute skatkis was en is Ribbok Mountain Cottage. Ons gaan beslis dit 'n gereelde instelling maak. Kan nie meer wag vir ons volgende verblyf daar nie. Die advertensie en fotos regverdig nie wat jy self beleef en ervaar nie. Suzaan kan met trots haar plekkie aanbeveel. Dit is beslis 'n wenner en 'n moet.

Suzaan can proudly recommend her place. It's definitely a winner and a must.

Heerlik gekuier as gesin. Die huisie bied alles wat nodig is en is selfs toegerus vir die winter se koue aande. Die bonus is die heerlike vuur warmbad. Sit onder die sterre in die koue vir ure in die bad. Ook pragtige staproete in die berg. Dankie vir jul gasvryheid!

Kos vir my siel!

Ons het geweet dit gaan koud wees en het eintlik gewens vir sneeu! Die afwesigheid van die sneeu het egter vir ons die kans gegee om te gaan stap en 'n rare oomblik te beleef en 'n Kaapse Klipklaasneus (Elephant shrew) te sien en selfs foto te kry. Dit het ons ook toegelaat om die 4x4 roete in die berg in te neem en asemrowende groot protea en speldekussing bome te sien, soos ek in my lewe nog nooit gesien het nie. Ons was bederf met 'n trop ribbokke, Jangroentjies (malachite sunbirds), Oranjebors Suikerbekkie, Kaapse Suikervoel (Cape Sugarbird), Fisante en Patryse. En dan was 'n wenner die lieflike buitelug stoombad wat die koue glad nie 'n kwessie gemaak het nie tot jy uitklim.

Food for my soul!

We knew it was going to be cold and actually wished for snow! However, the absence of snow gave us the chance to go for a walk and experience a rare moment and see a Cape Elephant shrew and even get a photo. It also allowed us to take the 4x4 route into the mountain and see breathtakingly large protea and pincushion trees, the likes of which I have never seen in my life. We were treated to a flock of ribbucks, Malachite sunbirds, Orange-breasted Sugarbill, Cape Sugarbird, Pheasants and Partridges. And then a winner was the lovely outdoor steam bath which made the cold not an issue at all until you got out.

Lovely farm getaway with every amenity you could want.

My hubby is a bit of a farm boy at heart, so thought the rest of the family would have to grin and bear this getaway for love. What we found however was that this cottage had an amenity that every member of my family could appreciate. From the hot tub to the Netflix/WiFi, to the hiking trail that starts just outside the door. Loved, loved, loved it and hope to make it back there again soon and more regularly.

Stilte vir dae, met 'n uitsig wat mens net van hoor.

Wat 'n aangename kothuis is die nie! Versteek in die berge, weg van beskawing af, met die plaaslike fauna as jou enigste bure. 'n Groot stoep groet jou soos jy die 5,5 km veldpaadtjie voltooi van die grootpad af. Uitgerus met net die nodigste en 'n lekker warmbad, buite- en binnebraai maak die huise topklas in ons boeke en ons hoop om gou weer te kom herlaai daar.

Silence for days, with a view you only hear about.

What a pleasant cottage it is! Hidden in the mountains, away from civilization, with the local fauna as your only neighbors. A large porch greets you as you complete the 5.5 km off-road trail off the main road. Equipped with only the essentials and a nice hot tub, outdoor and indoor barbecue make the houses top class in our books and we hope to come back and recharge there soon.

Lovely remote mountain adventure!

Can get cold so I suggest they get the gas heater checked out as it was not working. Also, the woodfire tub is amazing and the inside fire is as well. They provide 2 bags of wood per day which is nice wood, but I think an option to order more would be helpful. The road to the cottage is a bit rough so not something you want to do daily and so extra wood onsite would mean no need to travel. The host was amazing and super helpful! loved this little gem of a place!

Die huisie is als wat mens wil hê vir 'n stil, rustige naweek weg.

Die rustigheid en asemrowende uitsig vanaf die stoep laat voel mens of jy op 'n ander planeet is, die huisie is eenvoudig toegerus maar het als wat mens nodig het in, die "hot tub" wat met hout warm gemaak word was 'n belewenis, was heerlik om in hom te sit en oor die berge uit te kyk. 4x4. Die 4x4-roete was uitdagend gewees, 4x4 low-range heelpad en ek het selfs nodig gehad om op 2 plekke difflock te gebruik om oor die rotse te kom, wanneer jy bo-op die berg kom word jy beloon met die mooiste uitsig oor Ceres en die plase, die rustigheid daar bo is onbeskryflik en 'n ervaring wat jy maar self moet gaan probeer. Aande in die kliphuis. Die huise is toegerus met 'n braai wat enige Pappa se hart sal steel, was heerlik om voor 'n warm kaggelvuur te sit en gesels en bordspeletjies te speel. Ek sal hierdie plekkie beslis aanbeveel.

The cottage is everything you could want for a quiet, peaceful weekend away.

The tranquility and breathtaking view from the veranda makes you feel like you are on another planet, the house is simply equipped but has everything you need, the "hot tub" which is heated with wood was an experience, it was lovely to sit in it and look out over the mountains. 4x4. The 4x4 route was challenging, 4x4 low-range all the way and I even needed to use difflock in 2 places to get over the rocks, when you get to the top of the mountain you are rewarded with the most beautiful view of Ceres and the farms, the tranquility up there is indescribable and an experience you just have to try for yourself. Evenings in the stone house. The houses are equipped with a braai that will steal any Dad's heart, it was lovely to sit in front of a warm fireplace and chat and play board games. I would definitely recommend this place.

Pragtige uitsig, rustig en alles wat kan oop en toemaak binne!

'n Stil, rustige wegbreek vir 'n familie. Baie netjies met al die toebehore wat jy mag benodig. Die groot stoep buite is perfek en bied lieflike uitsigte, sover die oog kan sien. Die warmbad is 'n lekker tydsverdryf vir oud en jonk en veral as jy wil afkoel (of warm wil raak). Die plekkie moet besoek word deur meer mense. Dis lekker bekostigbaar - ons hoop dit bly so.

A quiet, peaceful getaway for a family. Very tidy with all the accessories you may need. The large porch outside is perfect and offers lovely views as far as the eye can see. The hot tub is a nice pastime for young and old and especially if you want to cool off (or get warm). The place should be visited by more people.
