Pragtige ligging in 'n rustige omgewing.

Back of Beyond se huisies is goed toegerus en baie netjies. Die omgewing is asemrowend mooi en daar is heerlike staproetes in die omgewing.

Beautiful location in a peaceful environment.

Back of Beyond's houses are well equipped and very tidy. The surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful and there are wonderful hiking trails in the area.

Rustig, kalm, pragtig - 'n wonderlike plek vir 'n wegbreek!

Dit was wonderlik om elke oggend in die bed te lê en oor die springbokkies en berge te kon kyk met lekker warm koppie koffie. Ons aande voor die braai met 'n glasie wyn was fantasties! Ons siele is verkwik met die rustigheid van die omgewing en die pragtige berge en dale. Dankie ook aan die eienaars vir hulle opvolg om te hoor of als reg is en of ons nie enige iets benodig het nie.

Peaceful, calm, beautiful - a great place for a getaway!

It was wonderful to lie in bed every morning and be able to look over the springboks and mountains with a nice hot cup of coffee. Our evenings before the braai with a glass of wine were fantastic! Our souls were refreshed with the tranquility of the surroundings and the beautiful mountains and valleys. Thanks also to the owners for their follow up to hear if everything is ok and if we didn't need anything.

A hidden gem.

We had a fantastic time. The place was very clean and the hosts were really friendly. The view from the room was amazing. We also walked on a private trail to stretch our legs and then bought some delicious goodies at the farm stall. Would recommend.

Heerlike herlaai-bestemming! Pragtige uitsig & geriewe.

Vriendelike & behulpsame gashere. Huisie is modern, skoon, goed toegerus en die slim uitleg sorg dat die mooi uitsig baie goed benut word. Die huisie grens ook aan 'n kampie met 'n troppie springbokkies. Baie dankie Suzi en die Back of Beyond span - ek & my vrou kon lekker afskakel van die gejaagde stadslewe en ons batterye goed herlaai!

Great recharge destination! Beautiful view & facilities.

Friendly & helpful hosts. The house is modern, clean, well equipped and the smart layout ensures that the beautiful view is used very well. The cottage also borders a camp with a herd of spring goats. Thank you very much Suzi and the Back of Beyond team - my wife and I were able to switch off from the hectic city life and recharge our batteries well!

Prentjie mooi en baie rustig

As 'n paartjie wie se honde ons kinders is sal ek nie aanbeveel mense gaan soontoe as hul honde nie gewoond is om van die band af te wees nie. Dis nie vreeslik troeteldiervriendelik nie. Dit sou 'n definintiewe 5/5 vir my gewees het as die huisie net heeltemal omheining was sodat ons die honde kon los maak sonder dat hulle die pad vat. Ons een hond is gehoorsaam van die band af maar die jong een moet nog leer - so hulle moes heeltyd vas gewees het wat my hart gebreek het. Anders as dit was dit baie gerieflik en prentjie mooi.

Nice picture and very peaceful

As a couple whose dogs are our children I would not recommend people go there if their dogs are not used to being off leash. It's not terribly pet friendly. It would have been a definite 5/5 for me if only the cottage was fully fenced so we could let the dogs loose without them taking the road. Our one dog is obedient from the leash but the young one has yet to learn - so they had to be tied the whole time which broke my heart. Other than that it was very comfortable and picture perfect.

Baie lekker en rustig.

Suzi het uit haar pad gegaan om ons verblyf baie aangenaam te maak. Die huisie is baie netjies en mooi. Alles wat mens nodig het was daar. Ons het selfs 'n paar sakke braaihout gekry. Die area is geweldig en ons het heerlik gestap en gerus. Suurbraak is 'n eintjie weg maar 'n fantastiese pad soontoe en natuurlik die pas na Barrydale was asembenemend en groen.

Very nice and peaceful.

Suzi went out of her way to make our stay very pleasant. The house is very neat and beautiful. Everything you need was there. We even got a few bags of firewood. The area is great and we had a wonderful walk and rest. Suurbraak is a bit away but a fantastic road to get there and of course the pass to Barrydale was breathtaking and green.

Rustig, stil. Vriendelike gasheer.

Jy hoor kraanvoëls en naguile skree. Die springbokkies wei voor jou huisie. Te oulik. Kyk vir die blou berge in die verte.

Calm, quiet. Friendly host.

You hear cranes and night owls screeching. The spring goats graze in front of your house. Too cute. Look for the blue mountains in the distance.

Lovely little spot in the country side.

Neat finishing and gorgeous all round. We enjoyed the quiet and springbok grazing outside.

Rustigheid en gemak in die Overberg.

Ons het ‘n heerlike aand gehad by Back of Beyond. Die huisie was baie gemaklik en was goed toegerus. Die springbokkie kamp omtrent by jou voorstoep was vreeslik oulik maar wat uitgestaan het was die rustige ligging van die akkommodasie. Ons sal vir seker weer daar gaan oorslaap.

Peace and comfort in the Overberg.

We had a lovely evening at Back of Beyond. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The springbok camp almost on your doorstep was very cute but what stood out was the peaceful location of the accommodation. We will definitely stay there again.
