Beeldskone omgewing, rus en vrede uit die stad.

Ons was 12 familielede en het die wegbreek uit die stad geniet. Dit voel amper asof jy in die bosveld is met die bokke om jou, en die mooi sterre! Ons gasvrou het ons verwelkom met vars gebakte brood! Wat 'n fees.

Picturesque surroundings, peace and quiet away from the city.

We were 12 family members and enjoyed the break from the city. It almost feels like you are in the forest with the goats around you, and the beautiful stars! Our hostess welcomed us with freshly baked bread! What a feast.

Hier kan mens kom asem skep en rus vir jou gemoed ervaar.

Ons het uitstekend gebly, was ongelooflik. Sielerus. Die uitsig, die wilde diere (verskeie boksoorte), die rustigheid en dan die vriendelike ontvangs en vars gebakte ciabatta. Vir beter kan jy nie vra. Die huisie is absoluut 100% toegerus met alles wat jy benodig. Ons sal vir seker teruggaan en hierdie plekkie is nou ook op ons permanente lys van top akkommodasie!

Die kuier was so rustig en ideaal as jy wil wegbreek van die bedrywige lewe.

Ons het heerlik gekuier. Die feit dat die huis in 'n wildkamp is, maak dit baie besonders. Die bokke wat naby die huis rondbeweeg, was enige fotograaf se droom! En dis ook 'n voëlkykers paradys! Ek sal die plek graag aanbeveel. Baie dankie vir jou vriendelikheid en jou hulp en die voer van die bokke! Twee baie oulike gashere.

We had a great time. The fact that the house is in a game camp makes it very special. The goats roaming near the house were any photographer's dream! And it's also a birdwatcher's paradise! I would gladly recommend the place. Thank you very much for your kindness and your help and feeding the goats! Two very nice hosts.

Pleasant for Peter. Wife expected more all round.

My husband liked it. His wife not so much. Place needs fumigation regularly, crickets are disgusting. Not enough hooks, and nothing in showers for soap, shower wash, etc. I had three nights of no sleep due to no curtains in front room where crickets were jumping against window when lights were on. Animals were amazing, but that was about it for Peter's wife. Kitchen layout and cup sizes I loved. Very user friendly. Bread not necessary as it's dry (not sourdough or rye) at all. Jake was friendly, not his wife, she got back in van when she saw us, not even a welcome.

Awesome, worth every cent.

Never missed TV/WiFi or any other technology. The closeness to nature and the different antelope (eland, springbuck, kudu, nyala, and impala) provided rest for the soul. Bonding with my wife, sitting on the stoep till late and early morning having coffee, listening to the sounds of nature, priceless.

Stilte en vars lug verkwik jou siel en help om stress te verminder.

As jy op soek is na rus en vrede, vars lug in jou longe, dan is dit die plek vir jou. Voëls wat vroeg in die oggend fluit en jou koffie in stilte drink, is absoluut verfrissend. Die bonus is die elande en springbokkies wat rustig ronddwaal, so bring jou kamera en verkyker, jy sal beslis nie spyt wees nie.

Silence and fresh air invigorate your soul and help reduce stress.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, fresh air in your lungs, then this is the place for you. Birds chirping early in the morning and drinking your coffee in silence is absolutely refreshing. The bonus is the moose and springboks that wander peacefully, so bring your camera and binoculars, you definitely won't regret it.

Salig!

Ons het vir 'n week gebly in die Aloe Canyon Cottage en dit was so rustig en vreedsaam, net wat ons gesoek het. Bedags op die plaas rondgestap en die bokke gesoek en saans voor die vuur gesit en kuier. Lieflik om op die stoep te staan en te kyk hoe die son sak. Die wild het ons gereeld kom besoek en dit behoort 'n paradys te wees vir voëlkykers. Die lekker leerbank voor die skuifdeur was perfek om te lê en lees of die reën dop te hou op 'n koue dag. Hierdie is die perfekte plek as jy net wil afskakel.

Blessed!

We stayed in the Aloe Canyon Cottage for a week and it was so peaceful and quiet, just what we were looking for. Walked around the farm during the day and looked for the goats and sat in front of the fire in the evening and visited. Lovely to stand on the porch and watch the sun go down. The wildlife visited us regularly and it should be a paradise for bird watchers. The nice leather couch in front of the sliding door was perfect for lying down and reading or watching the rain on a cold day. This is the perfect place if you just want to switch off.

Baie lekker gebly. Alles wat nodig is vir self-catering.

Pragtige omgewing met die diere wat kom besoek aflê. Binne reisafstand van Arniston, Struisbaai en L'Agulhas vir dagbesoeke en dan ook dagtoere na Montagu en Barrydale op sirkelroete. Beddens baie gemaklik. Banke kan dalk vervang word, uitgesit en sal voorstel dat daar dalk hake in badkamers aangebring word waar mens jou handdoeke aan kan ophang.

Benches may be replaced, moved out and would suggest perhaps installing hooks in bathrooms where you can hang your towels.

Overberg Central in Desember 2022.

Ons het Aloe Canyons in die Desember-vakansie besoek en Kersdag daar spandeer. Beste besluit wat ons kon maak om weg te kom van die skares wat die Kaap hierdie tyd van die jaar oorval. Die Rooidakhuis was baie gerieflike verblyf, en die plasie 'n wonderlike basis vanwaar ons De Hoop, Bontebok Nasionale Park, Malgas, Agulhas, Struisbaai en Elim gemaklik kon bereik sonder 'n gejaag.

Beautiful old style farmhouse with just nature with animals and birds around.

In the middle of nowhere. Very nice location, everything we required. House immaculate and clean, but still has old world charm. The owners feed the wild animals in front of the cottage so one is able to watch quietly and then follow directions for walking. This is a lovely place to be on your own and enjoy farm life. We certainly did.

Ongelooflike sonsopkoms en sonsondegange, met die wild op jou voorstoep!

Dit was 'n fantastiese naweekwegbreek, geen TV, net die natuurskoon en die bokke op jou drumpel. Heerlike oggendkoffie op die stoep, en 'n lekker stap op die plaas. Kaggelvuurtjie binne teen die koue en 'n lekker groot braai op die stoep. Wat meer kan mens voor vra. Vriendelikste mense, wat ons dadelik laat tuis voel het! Sal beslis weer gaan.

Incredible sunrises and sunsets, with the wildlife on your doorstep!

It was a fantastic weekend getaway, no TV, just the scenery and the goats on your doorstep. Delicious morning coffee on the porch, and a nice walk on the farm. Fireplace inside against the cold and a nice big braai on the stoep. What more can one ask for. Friendliest people, who immediately made us feel at home! Will definitely go again.

Stilte in die natuur.

'n Ware wegbreek van alles! Wild wat wei om die huisie. Besondere sonsopkomste & ondergang. Geen ander mense naby (daar was niemand in die rooidakhuis op die bult tydens ons verblyf nie). Vriendelike, effektiewe kommunikasie van Alison (en haar span). Sal Aloe Canyons enige tyd aanbeveel. Dankie Alison!

Rustige omgewing met baie mooi uitsig oor die wild.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en die mak elande, springbokke en Nyalas wat sommer by die blyplek kom vreet baie geniet dit is n belewenis. Gawie en Marthie is baie gawe kuiergaste en het ons dadelik laat tuis voel. Die grondpad na die plaas was in n goeie toestand en ons het sonder moeite met n klein motortjie en n sleepwaentjie die bestemming bereik. Beste rooikrans braaihout by Marthie gekoop so geen hout hoef saam geneem te word nie. Was iets besonders om te gaan loop in die wildskamp en al die verskillende wild daar van nader te kon sien. Neem gerus 'n verkyker saam.

Quiet environment with a very nice view of the wildlife.

We had a great time and enjoyed the tame moose, springbok and Nyalas that just come to eat at the accommodation, it's an experience. Gawie and Marthie are very nice visitors and made us feel at home immediately. The dirt road to the farm was in good condition and we reached the destination without difficulty with a small car and a trailer. Best rooikrans braai wood bought from Marthie so no wood needs to be taken with you. It was something special to go for a walk in the wildlife camp and see all the different wildlife there up close. Feel free to take binoculars with you.

Beautiful, peaceful farm. Dogs loved it and were intrigued by the eland and springbok. Very friendly hosts and kitchen was well equipped (but take your own salt and pepper). There is some dirt road (about 15 kilometers) to get to the farm, but manageable in a standard car.
