Eenvoud het sy eie elegansie.

Die huisie was lieflik en goed toegerus vir 'n naweek weg. Heerlik in die dam geswem en kon lekker met die honde stap. Sal weer in die toekoms wil kom.

Simplicity has its own elegance.

The cottage was lovely and well equipped for a weekend away. Had a wonderful swim in the pond and was able to walk the dogs. Will want to come again in the future.

Tranquility at Basterskloof.

We stayed at the stone cottage. My old spaniel really appreciated that there were no stairs to climb. The younger spaniel and I loved swimming in the dam. We also walked to the top dam. The vegetation is absolutely stunning. The house has everything one needs, and our host was very helpful. This trip was special.

Had a very peaceful visit.

We had a nice stay and were grateful that the dogs could come with us. Was only a little disappointed in the pool which was very dirty that we couldn't swim in it with all the frogfish. Maybe not something to advertise then.

It was a lovely winter escape close enough to Cape Town and far enough to feel like you were getting away from it all. Was a lovely cottage even got to forage for pine mushrooms.

Absolute rustigheid!

Basterskloof voldoen aan alles wat vir ons belangrik is. Stilte, mooi natuur, 'n mens voel vêr van alles af en tog is jy eintlik baie na aan alles. Die feit dat ons net 45 minute hoef te ry van ons huis af in Somerset Wes in 'n ander "wêreld" te wees, en dat ons diere welkom is, is vir ons van onskatbare waarde. Jacobus het ons baie welkom laat voel.

Baie lekker en 'n fantastiese omgewing.

Alles was goed gereël vir ons. Baie mooi en skoon huisie met 'n baie lekker atmosfeer. Pragtige omgewing, die berge, proteas en damme. Ons kon werklik baie rustig word. Ons het vir vier dae heerlik gebly en lekker geslaap. Die huisie kort 'n paar klein goed soos 'n paar glase, kurktrekker en 'n paar hakke aan die muur vir jou klere, maar dit was nie hinderlik nie.

Everything was well arranged for us. Very nice and clean house with a very nice atmosphere. Beautiful surroundings, the mountains, proteas and ponds. We could really relax. We had a wonderful stay for four days and slept well. The cottage lacks some small things like some glasses, corkscrew and some hooks on the wall for your clothes, but it wasn't a hindrance.

Pragplaas!

Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet! Daar is hope staproetes op die plaas met 'n verskeidenheid natuur om te beleef. Daar is ook diere vir die kinders om te sien. Ons het geroei op die dam en elke aand gebraai. In die aande hoor mens die brul van leeus om mee aan die slaap te raak. Lieflike mense wat die plaas besit, baie privaat en stil - sal beslis weer kom!

Really nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I went with my dog and we had a great time swimming in the dam and hiking up the mountain. The owners were really nice and helpful too. Only downside is it gets a bit windy, so you may want to check the weather forecast before booking.

Ongelooflike wegbreek.

Pragtige kliphuis waar ons gebly het tydens die swaar reën wat die Kaap getref het. Met die aansteek van die binnebraai (met 'n krat hout wat Jacobus gaaf genoeg was om gratis te voorsien) was die huisie so warm en snoesig dat ons gemaklik kon kos voorberei met al die nodige geriewe, eetgerei en toerusting wat voorsien was. Was ook gelukkig genoeg om die volgende dag die bootjie te kon uitneem op die dam, rustig te kon dobber en luister hoe leeus in die verte brul. Amper ons laat voel asof ons is in die Krugerwildtuin is, maar geseënd genoeg om nog in die Kaap te wees met die Hottentots-Holland berge in die agtergrond. Ons kom definitief weer terug, en bring vriende die keer saam.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Amazing getaway.

Beautiful stone house where we stayed during the heavy rain that hit the Cape. When we lit the indoor barbecue (with a crate of wood that Jacobus was kind enough to provide free of charge), the house was so warm and cozy that we could comfortably prepare food with all the necessary amenities, cutlery and equipment that were provided. Was also lucky enough to be able to take the boat out on the dam the next day, float quietly and listen to lions roaring in the distance. Almost makes us feel as if we are in the Kruger National Park, but blessed enough to still be in the Cape with the Hottentots-Holland mountains in the background. We will definitely come back again, and bring friends with us this time.

Onaangenaam en ongemaklik.

Daar was ongelooflik baie vlieë. Soveel so, dat ons deur 5 vliegvangers in 2 aande gegaan het, dat daar letterlik nie meer plek op een van die linte was vir 'n vlieg om op te land nie en ons het 'n hele bottel gif uitgespuit. Ons verstaan natuurlik dat dit in die natuur is, maar ons voel ook dat die Gashere beheer oor die vlieëplaag moet neem. Dit was absoluut onaangenaam en 'n mens kon glad nie kosmaak of eet of sommer net sit in die huis (of eers buite nie), sonder dat die vlieë in 'n swerm op jou toesak nie. Ongelukkig was daar verder ook geen braaibak vir die vleis nie, geen slaai- of tjipsbak nie (ons moes letterlik ons slaai in 'n oondkastrol maak), geen handseep in die badkamer nie - ten spyte van die feit dat ons vir 3 aande bespreek het en slegs 4 enkele vuurhoutjies om die vuur mee aan te steek. Al het ons vir 3 aande bespreek, het ons teruggekeer huis toe na slegs 2 aande as gevolg van die vlieë. Ons sal ongelukkig glad nie terugkeer in die toekoms nie.

Unpleasant and uncomfortable.

There were an incredible amount of flies. So much so, that we went through 5 flycatchers in 2 nights, that there was literally no more room on one of the ribbons for a fly to land on and we sprayed out a whole bottle of poison. Of course, we understand that this is in the wild, but we also feel that the Hosts need to take control of the fly infestation. It was absolutely unpleasant and one could not cook or eat at all or just sit in the house (or even outside) without the flies descending on you in a swarm. Unfortunately there was also no grill for the meat, no salad or chip bowl (we literally had to make our salad in an oven casserole), no hand soap in the bathroom - despite the fact that we booked for 3 nights and only 4 single matches to light the fire. Even though we booked for 3 nights, we returned home after only 2 nights because of the flies. Unfortunately we will not be returning at all in the future.

Basterskloof 's response

Vlieë is 'n natuurlike voorkoms. Ons boer organies en probeer om nie gifstowwe te gebruik nie. Vuurhoutjies, skottels en panne is beskikbaar indien gaste enige iets nodig het wat nie in die kothuisie is nie of vergeet het om saam te bring. Ons is 24 uur op die plaas en tot die gaste se diens. Dit is immers 'n selfsorg eenheid. Ek weet dit is nie altyd maklik om by boerdery omstandighede aan te pas nie. Jammer vir die ongerief.

Ons het die kuier verskriklik geniet. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel. Baie netjies en asemrowende uitsigte.

DIe huisies is bietjie nader aan mekaar as wat ons gedink het, maar dit was steeds baie privaat. Heerlik met die 4x4 pad teen die berg opgestap.

We enjoyed the visit very much. Would definitely recommend it. Very neat and breathtaking views.

THE cottages are a bit closer together than we thought, but it was still very private. Lovely walk up the mountain with the 4x4 road.

Heerlike stil plek om net after skakel en jou batterye te herlaai.

Die akkomodasie is puik met alles wat jy nodig het. Alles is skoon en netjies, en mens voel sommer tuis met die intrapslag. Die bergpaadjies is lekker om te ry as jy die geskikte voertuig het en 'n ekstra bonus is dat jy enige an alle paadjies mag verken. Enigste ding wat die verblyf sal verbeter is 'n plekkie om jou klere uit te pak! Net 'n paar rakkies en 'n hangplek vir warm baadjies sal wonderlik wees.

Lovely quiet place to just switch off and recharge your batteries.

The accommodation is great with everything you need. Everything is clean and tidy, and you feel right at home as soon as you step inside. The mountain paths are fun to drive if you have the right vehicle and an added bonus is that you can explore any and all paths. Only thing that would improve the stay is a place to unpack your clothes! Just a few shelves and a place to hang warm jackets would be great.

Relaxing. Tranquil. Peaceful. Quiet.

Quaint mountain cottage next to a dam in Botrivier. The most relaxed we have been in a long while - there is something about this place that let's you escape the daily grind from the second you arrive. The pics of the cottage don't do it justice. The perfect place to kick back and relax. We brought our dogs along and they had more fun than us. This place is perfect for dogs.

Netjiese, waarde vir geld verblyf in n pragtige omgewing.

Ons winterslangnaweek het 'n storm, reënboog op reënboog en 'n heerlike winterson opgelewer. Daar was kans vir binne en buite braai, guitar en teken, stappies deur die woud, teen koppies uit en roei op die dam. Sprokies-sampioene, perde, bokkies, paddas, groenkopkoggelmanders. Ons gaan definitief weer!

We will definitely go again!

Ons het dit baie geniet. Ek was verras met die klein dinge soos 2-ply toiletpapier, vuurhoutjies en kers asook goeie potte en panne. Vat maar jou eie drinkwater saam. Ons het ook die leeubrul in die stille aand gehoor wat op 'n buur plaas bly. Baie verras. Dankie vir 'n lekker kuier, oom Koos.

Rustigheid naby vele avonture.

Die rondawel was perfek vir die 2 van ons. Dit is langs die hoofhuis, maar ons het nooit eers dit agtergekom nie. Die tuin skei die twee. En die groot swembad reg langs die rondawel vir 'n aanwins. Ons het verblyf gesoek naby vriende van ons. Dit was perfek. Het ook opgery na die ander houthuisies en die twee damme. Die area is pragtig. Gasvryheid was ongelooflik. Ek beveel dit sterk aan.

Tranquility close to many adventures.

The rondavel was perfect for the 2 of us. It is next to the main house, but we never even noticed it. The garden separates the two. And the large swimming pool right next to the rondavel for an asset. We were looking for accommodation near friends of ours. It was perfect. Also drove up to the other log cabins and the two ponds. The area is beautiful. Hospitality was amazing. I highly recommend it.

Wild en afgesonder.

As jy jou eie ding op jou eie manier wil doen dan is hiedie 'n unieke plek daarvoor. Neem genoeg (kos) saam sodat dit nie nodig is om die berg-pad te veel te navigeer nie. Ons klein sedan - wat redelik laag ry - kon die pad baasraak, solank ek buite op die uitgetrapte spore van die grondpad gebly het. As die ander hut ook bespreek sou gewees het - dan sou dit die gevoel van 'een-met-die-wildernis-wees' minder intens gemaak het, maar nie afbreek gedoen het aan die unieke ervaring nie. Neem stapskoenne saam. Daar is paaie vir 'n bergfiets. As jy in styl wil sonbrand bring 'n lilo saam. Die roeiboot werk heerlik. Bring die sonsambreel en kamp-stoele saam vir dam piekniek. Ons het buite op die stoep geslaap (daar is plek vir 'n waghond) maar ons het baie gerus geslaap (sonder ons 'Wagter'). Vir voëlkykers is daar 'n spesiale gesig wat saans afspeel (dalk net in die somer) maar wat liefs 'n geheim moet bly.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Wild and secluded.

If you want to do your own thing in your own way then this is a unique place for that. Take enough (food) with you so that there is no need to navigate the mountain road too much. Our little sedan - which rides pretty low - could handle the road as long as I stayed out on the ruts of the dirt road. If the other cabin would have been booked too - then it would have made the feeling of 'being one with the wilderness' less intense, but not detract from the unique experience. Take walking shoes with you. There are trails for a mountain bike. If you want to tan in style bring a lilo. The rowing boat works great. Bring the parasol and camping chairs for a pond picnic. We slept outside on the porch (there is room for a guard dog) but we slept very well (without our 'Guard'). For bird watchers there is a special sight that takes place at night (perhaps only in summer) but which should preferably remain a secret.

Rustige wegbreek met ons troeteldiere in 'n pragtige toegeruste kliphuisie.

Basterskloof is na genoeg aan Botrivier vir proviand maar ver genoeg van dorpsgeluide om te ontspan, stap, lees en rus. Die gebrul van die leeus en kraanvoëls wat kom nagsê by die dam was baie spesiaal tydens ons 5-nag-verblyf. Ons het die klipgeboude braai buite goed ingespan in die aande en die kaggel binne in die kliphuisie was ideaal toe die motreën val. Die yskassie was amper te klein vir die tyd wat ons gebly het, maar oom Jacobus was vriendelik en behulpsaam om te help met vriesspasie (iets om in gedagte te hou vir gaste wat 'n paar dae oorbly).

This review is being shown in its original language.

Peaceful getaway with our pets in a beautifully equipped stone cottage.

Basterskloof is close enough to Botrivier for provisions but far enough from town sounds to relax, walk, read and rest. The roar of the lions and cranes that come to say night at the dam was very special during our 5-night stay. We made good use of the stone-built braai outside in the evenings and the fireplace inside the stone house was ideal when the drizzle fell. The small fridge was almost too small for the time we stayed, but Uncle Jacobus was friendly and helpful in helping with freezer space (something to keep in mind for guests staying a few days).

Dit was ongelooflik lekker.

Die plek is baie netjies en baie privaat! In die aande kan 'n mens luister hoe die eende en voëls in die dam baljaar. Ek sal dit weer probeer. Die eienaar is baie vriendelik! Dankie vir 'n onvergeetlike naweek!

It was incredibly fun.

The place is very neat and very private! In the evenings one can listen to the ducks and birds frolicking in the pond. I will try it again. The owner is very friendly! Thank you for an unforgettable weekend!

Magical. Just magical.

We stayed in Berghut 1. The hosts are super friendly and the cottage is at the most amazing location with a beautiful dam right in front. Small boat to bob around in. Had amazing runs and swims in the dam. Peaceful. Bliss. The cottage is so pretty en perfectly equipped with an inside fireplace as well. Cannot wait to go back. I do a lot of travelling and this was certainly a highlight if you looking to just chill in the peace and quiet of nature with blue cranes at sunset on the dam's edge. Perfect place to unwind.

Skoon, stil en afgesonder.

Meer en beter as wat ons verwag het. Die huisie was skoon, mooi en afgesonder. Die eienaars was vriendelik en altyd beskikbaar. Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel!

Wonderful place to stay if you want to get away from it all.

This is one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed in. It is lovely and peaceful with a gorgeous view and has everything you will need. Although it feels remote - which is great - it is actually very close to Franschhoek, Hermanus and Kleinmond. The place is even better than the picture.

Wonderlike verblyfopsie.

Ons het baie lekker hier gebly en uitgerus. Private verblyf met alles wat mens nodig het langs 'n dam. In die aande kan mens selfs leeus hoor roep vanaf 'n nabye plaas.

Great accommodation option.

We had a great time staying here and resting. Private accommodation with everything you need next to a dam. In the evenings one can even hear lions calling from a nearby farm.

Ons soek reeds vir die volgende geleentheid om te gaan.

Baie netjiese en goed toegeruste huisie omring deur die pragtige natuurskoon van Botrivier. Die gebrul van die buurman se leeus in die nag was nogal besonders. Ons sal beslis weer gaan!

We are already looking for the next opportunity to go.

Very neat and well-equipped house surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Botrivier. The roar of the neighbor's lions at night was quite special. We will definitely go again!
