Peaceful farm type stay that kids will love.

The stay at Arukah was good. The house(s) was clean and spacious. There was adequate parking, and the peaceful surroundings with the cows and chickens added a nice touch. We were informed that the pool was not open to use, but the owner did make an exception for us. We did not use the facility, though, as the pool was not completely clean. Overall, we had a good stay, and the host was good, accessible, and responsive.

Goeie ligging, voldoende vir 1 aand se oorslaap.

Arukah toon potensiaal as gasteverblyf. Daar was wel 'n paar probleme. Van die messegoed en borde was nie skoon nie, en die beddens was nie almal opgemaak vir die hoeveelheid mense wat moes slaap nie.

Dit was gerieflik naby aan Oakdale waar ons Interskole gespeel het.

Ons het egter baie gesukkel met warm water vir die stort. Bietjie frustrerend. Indien hulle 'n "toaster" in die kombuis kan sit sal dit lekker wees.

As jy net wil rus en herlaai is Aruka beslis die aangewese plek.

Die geriewe is is uitsetekend, dis so rustig jy raak weer bewus van die natuur jy hoor die veskilende voëls veral in die oggend. Die hele omgewing is asemrowend mooi en baie veilig. Arukha sal ek beslis aanbeveel by my vriende.

Rustige plaas verblyf.

Verseker een van die beste keuses vir verblyf in Riversdal. Die rustigste atmosfeer op die plaas. Die woonstel is skoon en netjies en baie modern maar met 'n tuis gevoel atmosfeer. Sal dit ten hoogste aanbeveel.

Lieflike, rustige omgewing.

Dit lyk presies soos op die foto's. Die hoofslaapkamer is pragtig. Dit was veilig genoeg dat my dogter kon gaan draf. Ons het gebraai en daar was alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Heerlike beskuit was uitgesit saam met die koffie/tee. Kon selfs 'n paar Kersgeskenkies koop tussen die interessante goedjies wat uitgestal word. Dankie Therisa, dit was 'n lekker kuiertjie gewees.

Baie lekker gebly en baie netjies.

Die enigste probleem is dat daar geen beker of jug is nie, ook nie 'n bekertjie om melk mee warm te maak in die mikrogolf nie. Daar was ook nie koffie en suiker wat normaalweg in 'n gastehuis is, net bietjie tee en 'n botteltjie poeiermelk. Alles was leeg of die bietjie koffie was hard. Andersins is ons baie tevrede met die verblyf en sal ons dit weer besoek. Die dametjie, Edel, wat ons ontvang het, is 'n baie vriendelike en aangename persoon.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Very nice stay and very tidy.

The only problem is that there is no cup or jug, not even a cup to heat milk with in the microwave. There was also no coffee and sugar which is normally in a guest house, just some tea and a small bottle of powdered milk. Everything was empty or the little coffee was hard. Otherwise we are very satisfied with the stay and will visit again. The lady, Edel, who received us, is a very friendly and pleasant person.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Sal definitief aanbeveel. Heerlike plaaservaring met die beeste en groenigheid om jou. Dit is 'n baie lekker selfsorgeenheid, maar die kombuisware kan net bietjie aangevul word om dit meer prakties te maak vir selfsorg, soos opskepbakke en 'n braaibak ens.
