A relaxing time in the beautiful Cederberg.

Thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing few days in a beautiful setting but would take wasp repellent along next time.

Absoluut fantasties.

Wat 'n lieflike plek. In die natuur, sonder sein, salig. Die eienaars is vriendelike en gawe mense. Lieflike staproetes, watervalle en waterpoele. Pragtige uitsigte. Dit was net wat ons nodig gehad het. Plekkie is toegerus met alles wat mens benodig. Eintlik spyt dat ons net 2 nagte bespreek het. Ons kan dit aanbeveel.

What a lovely place. In nature, without signal, blissful. The owners are friendly and nice people. Lovely hiking trails, waterfalls and pools. Beautiful views. It was just what we needed. Plekkie is equipped with everything one needs. Actually regret that we only booked 2 nights. We can recommend it.

Heerlik gekuier. Ons het verskriklik lekker uitegrus.

Dit is heerlik rustig, diep in die natuur, met geen selontvangs nie. Ons het nogal met ons 9 maande oue baba ook aangedurf. Die plekkie het alles wat mens nodig het. Vir ons stadsjapies was dit 'n lafenis gewees.

'n Onvergeetlike wegbreek op 'n ongelooflike mooi plek.

Die omgewing is pragtig en ons laerskoolkinders het heerlik fietsgery. Dit was 'n bietjie koud vir die rotspoele, maar ek kan net dink hoe lekker dit moet wees om in die somermaande daar te swem. Baie dankie dit was 'n heerlike naweek.

Wonderful farm stay in a unique location.

We have stayed in lots of farm self-catering establishments and Balie'sGat is by far the most peaceful and relaxing venue. Things could change if the site is full, but the owners are very hands on and stipulate that other guests must be taken into consideration. Our cabin, Klipbokkie, had everything we needed and just how we like it. Glamping in wonderful surroundings.

Perfect for a remote getaway.

The location is perfectly suited for a remote getaway from all forms of distractions and allows you to totally remove yourself from the hustle and bustle of modern life. There is no reception which is perfect! Only had time to explore the two watering holes, but the water was pristine and refreshing. The views from the top of the ridge are breathtaking. Highly recommended.

Vir hierdie plek so diep in die berge sal ek weer kom kuier.

Diep in die Koue Bokkeveld-berge lê 'n juweel. As jy die kronkelende sandpaadjie so afgery kom snak jy so bietjie-bietjie na jou asem, jy kan nie die mooi alles op een slag inneem nie. Jy moet 'n paar keer kyk. In die huisie is alles mooi, en die groot skuifdeur laat die buite binnetoe kom. En dan rus jy. En neem net in.

For this place so deep in the mountains I will visit again.

Deep in the Koue Bokkeveld mountains lies a gem. When you drive down the winding sandy path like this, you gasp for breath, you can't take in all the beauty at once. You should watch a few times. Everything in the house is beautiful, and the large sliding door lets the outside in. And then you rest. And just take in.

Doodstil, pragtig, middel van nêrens perfek!

Was wonderlik, die roete af in die kloof is so mooi ─ 4x4 aanbeveel. Die Klipbokkie huisie was baie netjies met die groenste gras wat jy al ooit gesien het! Die hitte was nie 'n probleem nie, die sproeiers om die huis koel dit lekker af en in die aand raak dit lekker koel in die kloof. Die waterpoele naby is ook 'n lekker manier om af te koel. Ys en hout word daagliks vir jou afgelewer tot op jou stoep. Was wonderlik.

Dead quiet, beautiful, middle of nowhere perfect!

Was great, the route down into the gorge is so beautiful ─ 4x4 recommended. The Klipbokkie house was very tidy with the greenest grass you have ever seen! The heat was not a problem, the sprinklers around the house cool it down nicely and in the evening it gets nice and cool in the gorge. The water pools nearby are also a nice way to cool off. Ice and wood are delivered to your doorstep daily. Was great.

Stayed in Grysbokkie and Klipbokkie. Can not get better. Fantastic.

It was absolutely fantastic. Clean, neat, stunning views, good walks, swemgat was great, rugby good, no cell phone reception which is fantastic. Facilities, all you need. Marius and Yvonne are such good people. The lawn at the camping site and around the two cottages and lovely thick green grass. The best place to go for a break-away.

Our stay at Balie's Gat was amazing. This place is so beautiful! We went in spring but the days were rather hot already - but don't worry, there are beautiful rock pools where you can refresh yourself. Marius and his wife are super nice hosts. I'm looking forward to come back for more days in the rock pools, hikes and next time motorbike trips through the beautiful mountains! Thanks for having us.

Beste naweek in die mooiste natuurskoon.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike naweek. Ons het die privaatheid en natuurskoon baie geniet. Die hut (klipbokkie) was baie skoon, netjies en goed toegerus. Ons het na die rotspoele gestap en dit baie geniet, dit is skoon en pragtig. Die sterre in die aand is ook onvergelykbaar met enige iets wat jy in die stad sal kry. Daar is geen elektrisiteit of selfoonsein nie, dit maak vir 'n wonderlike wegbreek. Yvonne-hulle is baie vriendelik en akkomodeer mens graag, hulle verkoop ook die heerlikste konfyte, ens. Die pad daarheen is 'n avontuur, maar pragtig, 'n bakkie is 'n moet! Dit is die ideale plek vir 'n huweliksherdenking, maar ook 'n naweek weg saam met vriende. Ons sal beslis terugkeer.

Best weekend in the most beautiful scenery.

It was an incredible weekend. We really enjoyed the privacy and the scenery. The cabin (klipbokkie) was very clean, neat and well equipped. We walked to the rock pools and enjoyed it very much, it was clean and beautiful. The stars in the evening are also incomparable to anything you will find in the city. There is no electricity or cellphone signal, which makes for a great getaway. Yvonne and co are very friendly and can accommodate you, they also sell the most delicious jams, etc. The road to it is an adventure, but beautiful, a bakkie is a must! This is the ideal place for a wedding anniversary, but also a weekend away with friends. We will definitely return.

Perfect spot for a restful and tech-free getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at Balie'sGat. The road in is amazing, but also makes you understand why they recommend high clearance vehicles. There are a number of places to swim in the river, and we are looking forward to returning and exploring further. There are also a number of walks on the farm. We stayed in one of the cabins, Klipbokkie, which was a really lovely spot. I would recommend bringing some form of shade in the summer months, and if you need to have tech items charged, it's worth bringing some form of solar charger with you.

Stilte, berge, sterre.

Ons het vir twee nagte in Klipbokkie gebly. Die skoonheid van die sederberge, die stilte (selfs al is die ander blyplek en kampterrein naby is dit steeds stil en privaat) en die plesier van buite sit, vuurmaak en sterrekyk was onoortreflik. Ons sou verskriklik graag langer wou bly! Wat ons sou aanbeveel vir gaste wat die area besoek: 1. ‘n skadunet; 2. insekweerder (muskiete, miggies en vlieë is deel van die natuur, maar ‘n omgewingsvriendelike weerder verminder die bytplekke:) 3. ‘n voertuig wat vierwielaangedrewe is, is ‘n moet!

Silence, mountains, stars.

We stayed in Klipbokkie for two nights. The beauty of the cedar mountains, the silence (even if the other lodge and campsite are close by it is still quiet and private) and the pleasure of sitting outside, making a fire and stargazing was unsurpassed. We would very much like to stay longer! What we would recommend to guests visiting the area: 1. a shade net; 2. insect repellant (mosquitoes, midges and flies are part of nature, but an environmentally friendly repellant reduces the number of bites:) 3. a four-wheel drive vehicle is a must!

Perfekte naweek wegbreek vir bietjie stilte

Baie lekker gewees. Sal dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat wil wegbreek van die stad. Bring net baie muskietweermiddel saam. Marius en Yvonne was baie hulpvaardig en help graag uit om dit lekker te maak vir die gaste.

Very comfortable, clean and with beautiful surroundings.

We were a little disappointed to discover the cabin we stayed in was near to the campsite - it appeared from the website to be somewhere on top of the mountain. But in any event this was not a problem. Lovely walks with stunning flowers and bird life. Found some excellent rock pools to dunk in up in the kloof just behind the cabin.

Presies wat ek wou gehad het.

Vriendelike en hulpvaardige gashere. Baie dankie, Marius, vir jou hulp met my pap wiel. Lekker plek om weg te kom van die stad af veral as jy jou SUV so 'n bietjie wil toets. Alles wat jy nodig het is daar en dis skoon. Lekker eenvoudig! Ons beveel dit sterk aan!

Friendly and helpful hosts. Thank you very much, Marius, for your help with my flat tyre. Nice place to get away from the city especially if you want to test your SUV a bit. Everything you need is there and it's clean. Nice and simple! We strongly recommend it!

See stars.

We went in search of dark skies for the meteor shower. The shooting stars showed up! It was chilly with the snow on the mountains, definitely a summer destination but if its the stars you are after winter is the time to go.

Beautiful and tranquil destination.

The two wooden cottages were comfortable and clean. Basically equipped, but we did not have a need for anything else. Our hosts were friendly and available to chat and tell us about the farm and area. We had a wonderful weekend bird watching, 4x4 drive and hiking. The road to Balie'sGat is definitely for high clearance vehicles and the 4x4 trail we did offered some spectacular views.

Skakel totaal af!

Vir die natuurliefhebber. Met reën sal dit nie moontlik wees om te eet/kos voor te berei nie, aangesien daar nie toe kombuis is nie, slegs afdak, maar verder is dit pragtig ingerig!

Totally shut down!

For the nature lover. With rain it will not be possible to eat/prepare food, as there is no kitchen, only a roof, but otherwise it is beautifully furnished!

Asemrowend.

Dit was regtig 'n ervaring, sal die plekkie definitief weer besoek, die kabin was uitsonderlik skoon en goed toegerus, die sterrekyk was iets uit 'n fliek uit. Die gasvryheid en besorgdheid van Marius was baie waardeer.

Breathtaking.

It was a real experience, will definitely visit the place again, the cabin was exceptionally clean and well equipped, the stargazing was something out of a movie. The hospitality and concern of Marius was much appreciated.

Ideale ontvlugting van die gejaagdheid en gedruis van die beskawing.

Die huisies is baie netjies ingerig en slim beplan en daar was niks wat ons benodig het nie. Die groen gras by die huisies, asook die heerlike swemgate was 'n lafenis vir ons droogte-geteisterde Kapenaars! Die diens is uitsonderlik en die vars vrugte, konfyte, heuning en ingelegde produkte is besonder lekker! Ten spyte van die plantegroei wat verwoes was deur onlangse brande was daar verbasend baie voëlsoorte.

Ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of civilisation.

The little houses were very neat and well planned and we didn't lack anything. The green grass at the units, as well as the lovely pools, were refreshing to us drought stricken Capers! The service is excellent and the fresh fruit, jams, honey and preserved products were wonderful! Despite the vegetation that was destroyed by recent fires, there were surprisingly many bird species.
