Beautiful location with so much to do and a breath of fresh air.

Check-in was easy and simple. The accommodation is beautiful, and my family and I enjoyed every moment of it. It was the perfect way to start the new year. The unit had everything we needed. It could have been better cleaned, especially with all the spiders, but since we are a simple family that loves the outdoors, it was a perfect place to stay. Just to mention, it would have been nice if it was mentioned that there are no plugs, so even though we took our own solar lights because our baby does not like the dark, we couldn't charge them in efforts not to run out of light during the night. But other than that, everything was beautiful and perfect. The accommodation will definitely be seeing me and my family again.

Was a nice warm woodland visit.

We enjoyed the visit. Reception at the gate was very pleasant. The place has a lot of potential but really needs a lot of attention. Ice/Freezer did not work, water was brown, some of the dishes were dirty in the cupboards and the gas stove's flame distribution was a problem. Furthermore, we had a good time.

Fun.

Bos Hotel should at least have some means of transportation to the pools and playgrounds, upgrade solar systems because the lights go off before time, and also come up with a plan for charging points. Otherwise, the stay was great.

If you don't like camping, this is not the place for you. Solar lights are dead by 7:30 in the evening. There is not a gas lamp or candle in sight. There is a comforter on the bed for summer. We almost died from the cold. No extra blankets. Bath water was just that cold.

Apart from the camping experience, the place is neat and clean. If you're into that sort of thing, bring flashlights and lamps. Couldn't fault the cleanliness. 8 out of 10 for cleanliness.

Lekker rustige atmosfeer.

Ons gesin het vir die langnaweek weggebreek. Alles was daar wat ons nodig gehad het. Die restaurant by die hoofkompleks het net nie alles gehad wat ons bestel het nie en die winkel se voorraad was maar beperk en nie altyd oop nie.

Met die nodige aandag en bietjie opknap sal dit puik wegbreek wees.

Ligging is pragtig, geen van vorige comments vanaf 2021 aandag al gekry nie. Blyplek glad nie skoon nie, beddegoed onder was vuil en baie oud en modder bobbejaanspore nogsteeds teen mure. Geen kennisbord of iets oor die gas gebruik of selfoon laaiers nie. Yskas heel naweek gelek, stort buite badkamer maak sopnat. Stoele buite by die vuur is gedaan en so ongemaklik. Lig bo die vuur werk ook nie. Voorstel dat julle mense vooraf in kennis stel dat daar geen hout beskikbaar is op die perseel nie, moes al die pad terugry. Restaurant se ure is ook nie korrek nie, gewys dis Sondagoggende oop, lank daar rondgesoek maar dit was toe en moes ons iewers anders gaan vir ontbyt.

With the necessary attention and a little renovation it will be a great getaway.

Location is beautiful, none of previous comments from 2021 have received attention yet. Accommodation not clean at all, bedding downstairs was dirty and very old and mud baboon tracks still on walls. No notice board or anything about gas usage or cell phone chargers. Fridge leaked all weekend, shower outside bathroom soaking wet. Chairs outside by the fire are done and so uncomfortable. Light above the fire doesn't work either. Suggest that you notify people in advance that there is no wood available on site, had to drive all the way back. The restaurant's hours are also not correct, they said it was open on Sunday mornings, looked around for a long time but it was closed and we had to go somewhere else for breakfast.

Ek en my gesin het die paasnaweek baie geniet. Die eenheid was mooi skoon en alle benodigde was voorsien eetgerei, beddegoed, braai gerei en sports toerusting vir tennis en put-put.

Ons gesin was vriendelik verwelkom met ons aankoms by die hoof hek. Die eenheid was baie netjies en skoon braai-area was netjies. Die gasgeyser en yskas is in goeie werkende kondisie en ons het geen moeilikheid gehad nie. Die restaurant staff het baie goeie diens gelewer al was hul besig met 'n funksie by die onthaal saal. Die sports terrein en swembaddens was baie skoon en word baie goed na om gesien. Die Cronje gesin sal definitief weer by Bos Hotel 'n lekker rustige weg breuk kom geniet.

Our family was warmly welcomed upon our arrival at the main gate. The unit was very neat and clean braai area was neat. The gas geyser and fridge are in good working condition and we had no problems. The restaurant staff provided very good service even though they were busy with a function at the reception hall. The sports grounds and pools were very clean and very well looked after. The Cronje family will definitely come again to Bos Hotel to enjoy a nice, peaceful break away.

Utopia Resort is beautiful, nice play area and pools. Accommodation itself not great.

The number given was incorrect for the contact person and had one digit too many. Instructions were to notify Armand 10 - 15 minutes prior to arrival and someone would meet you at the gate. We were outside for close to 45 minutes, eventually finding that the keys had been left at security. The contact person did not answer his phone or communicate with us at all. One door in the unit didn't open at all, the fridge doesn't work properly and the unit wasn't very clean. No information brochure, no map and no communication at all from the host!

Die oord is lekker, maar die eenheid is nie op standaard nie.

Inligtingstuk benodig om te sê wat moet jy saam bring, word aanbeveel. Bv. 'n gaslamp en kerse, die sonkrag is nie voldoende nie, veral in bewolkte weer. Daar kort redelik 'n klompie aandag aan die plekkie.

The resort is nice, but the unit is not up to standard.

Information sheet required to say what you need to bring with you is recommended. E.g. a gas lamp and candles, the solar power is not sufficient, especially in cloudy weather. The place needs quite a bit of attention.

Utopia is a beautiful place to stay, the house was not exactly what we expected.

It is a place with a lot of potential to make it a super place to stay. Enough details need to be upgraded. If the price was less, it would have been more acceptable.

Die omgewing is pragtig met netjiese swembaddens, tennisbane en restaurant.

Die eenheid Boshotel waarin ons tuisgegaan het, was egter uiters teleurstellend. Die Boshotel benodig 'n opgradering. Die badkamer en hele eenheid se teëls is baie oud en voldoen nie aan die standaarde vir uitverhuring aan vakansiegangers nie. Die linne op die beddens en handdoeke is van swak gehalte en het al beter dae geken. Daar is ook nie ekstra komberse nie. Gelukkig het ons, ons eie saamgeneem. Die eenheid kort ook 'n deeglike skoonmaak. . Die tuinstoele is baie oud en verweer en kan ten minste doen met 'n lagie verf. Die ekstra badkamer buite se stort is baie klein en ongerieflik. Die water van die stort is óf te warm, óf te koud en kan moeilik gereguleer word. Die verblyf was uiters teleurstellend!

The surroundings are beautiful with neat swimming pools, tennis courts and restaurant.

However, the Boshotel unit we stayed in was extremely disappointing. The Forest Hotel needs an upgrade. The bathroom and entire unit's tiles are very old and do not meet the standards for letting to holidaymakers. The linen on the beds and towels are of poor quality and have seen better days. There are also no extra blankets. Fortunately, we took our own. The unit also needs a thorough cleaning. . The garden chairs are very old and weathered and could at least do with a coat of paint. The extra bathroom outside shower is very small and inconvenient. The water from the shower is either too hot or too cold and can be difficult to regulate. The stay was extremely disappointing!

Ek het eerstens 'n naamlose WhatsApp van die eienaar gekry om my motorregistrasienommer te gee. Toe ek kla, het hy gesê dis sodat die hekwag my kan inlaat.

Hy het nooit moeite gedoen om ons te ontmoet of seker te maak dat ons tuis is nie. Ek sou beslis oor die dun en onvoldoende beddegoed vir die winter gekla het. Daar is geen waarskuwing in die eenheid dat bobbejane 'n probleem is nie. Hoewel die kombuisdeur met 'n Yale-slot sluit, kon die boonste skuifdeur nie sluit nie en was los in sy raam. Ons het net drie nagte van die vyf voorafbetaalde nagte geslaap, toe die bobbejane ingebreek en ongeveer R600 kruideniersware verwoes het. Gegewe die eienaar se ongasvryheid en onbetrokkenheid, het ek nie gekla nie, maar eerder die tyd gebruik om tuis te kom. 'n Week later hou hy steeds sy lae profiel: sonder verskoning, sonder verduideliking. Werklik swak, veral in die lig dat die toerismesektor erg onder Covid-toestande gely het.

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

First, I got an anonymous WhatsApp from the owner to give my car registration number. When I complained, he said it was so the gate guard could let me in.

He never bothered to meet us or make sure we were home. I would certainly have complained about the thin and insufficient bedding for the winter. There is no warning in the unit that baboons are a problem. Although the kitchen door closes with a Yale lock, the upper sliding door could not close and was loose in its frame. We only slept three nights out of the five prepaid nights, when the baboons broke in and destroyed about R600 worth of groceries. Given the owner's inhospitality and indifference, I didn't complain, but instead used the time to get home. A week later, he is still keeping a low profile: no apology, no explanation. Really poor, especially considering that the tourism sector has suffered badly under Covid conditions.

Dit is 'n natuurresevaat, almal weet dat daar bobbejane en Blou aapies is.
Die gaste het die bo deur en vensters oop gelos. Nadat die bobbejane daar deur is het die gaste hul goed gepak en net die sleutels op die hek gelos sonder om 'n woord te se.

Die instansie waar die Bos Hotel is, is fantasties en daar is baie om te doen vir die kinders.

Die kinders het baie lekker gekuier. Die sonpanele is baie klein met die gevolg dat slegs 'n selfoon gecharge kon word. Dit is glad nie gerieflik uitgelê wat die kombuis aanbetref nie, en ek sal nie weer soontoe gaan teen die prys wat ons betaal het nie, dit is nie die moeite werd nie.

Teleurstellend.

Die Bos Hotel was vuil en onnetjies. Die drein is verstop en loop voor die voordeur uit. Die eienaar lees slegs boodskappe maar daar is geen terugvoering nie. Geen usb punte om fone te laai. Buitetoilet se lig werk nie. Deur by die stoep se handvatsel is stukkend. Eetgerei en potte was nie skoon nie. Badkamermatjies baie vuil. Die Bos Hotel kan beslis doen met 'n ordentlike skoonmaak en heelwat herstelwerk. Nie die geld werd nie.

Disappointing.

The Bos Hotel was dirty and untidy. The drain is blocked and runs out in front of the front door. The owner only reads messages but there is no feedback. No usb points to charge phones. Outside toilet's light does not work. Door by the stoep's handle is broken. Cutlery and pots were not clean. Bathroom mats very dirty. The Bos Hotel could definitely do with a decent clean and a lot of repairs. Not worth the money.

Dit is wat jy daarvan maak.

Vir 'n gesin van 5 is hierdie akkommodasie net-net te klein en kan beknop raak. Die ligging is goed en nader aan die ekstra fasiliteite soos die restaurant en swembaddens. Die eetgerei is van uiterste swak gehalte. Die drein in die buitebadkamer is verstop, asook die drein vanaf die kombuis se uitlaatpyp. Die eenhede is redelik naby mekaar en daar is nie die uitsig wat mens sou verwag nie. As dit nie reën nie het die kinders wel baie speelplek en mens kan die natuur geniet. Die restaurant op die perseel is uitstekend en die putt-putt-baan in goeie kondisie. Dit sou lekker gewees het om 'n dokument in die eenheid te hê wat alle "doendinge" bevat het soos staproetes of tye wat die winkel en restaurant oop is, byvoorbeeld.

It's what you make of it.

For a family of 5 this accommodation is just too small and can get cramped. The location is good and closer to the extra facilities like the restaurant and swimming pools. The cutlery is of extremely poor quality. The drain in the outside bathroom is blocked, as is the drain from the kitchen exhaust pipe. The units are quite close to each other and there is not the view one would expect. If it's not raining, the children do have plenty of space to play and you can enjoy nature. The on-site restaurant is excellent and the putt-putt course in good condition. It would have been nice to have a document in the unit that contained all "things to do" such as walking routes or times the shop and restaurant are open, for example.

Not very pleasant.

No info given on checkout procedures or what to do with garbage. Unit was dirty and we cleaned the braai ourselves from the previous guests. Not very impressed. Would rather camp in that case.

A lovely, budget-friendly stay.

There is so much to do within the estate (camping, swimming, braai facilities, conference facilities, a chapel, putt-putt, tennis, and the library) definitely value for money.

Ons het 14:00 aangekom en slegs een aand oorgeslaap.

Die akkommodasie was aanvaarbaar vir die een aand se oorslaap. Sal dit egter nie vir 'n langer periode kan aanbeveel nie. Dit was toevallig 'n baie koue aand en indien ons nie die weervoorspelling dopgehou het nie, sou ons 'n bitter koue aand beleef het. Daar is nie voorsiening gemaak vir koue aande met die beskikbaarheid van ekstra komberse nie. Ons was drie volwassenes en sou beter voorbereiding in terme van die 12 V-laaigerief vir selfone waardeer het. As ons 'n noodsituasie gehad het, was ons in die moeilikheid. Daar was nie warm water nie. Ons kon wel water kook vir koffie, maar as ons meer as 3 was sou die grootte van die ketel 'n probleem gewees het. Die ligging van die akkommodasie is in 'n pragtige reservaat en sou dit in die somer gewees het, sou ons definitief van die swemgeriewe gebruik gemaak het, alhoewel dit 'n hele entjie van die akkommodasie af is. Die akkommodasie het ongelooflike potensiaal en net 'n bietjie TLC in terme van blygerief vir die inwoner sal kliënte aanspoor om terug te gaan.

We arrived at 14:00 and only stayed one night.

The accommodation was acceptable for the one night's sleepover. Would not be able to recommend it for a longer period though. It happened to be a very cold evening and if we hadn't watched the weather forecast, we would have experienced a bitterly cold evening. No provision has been made for cold evenings with the availability of extra blankets. We were three adults and would have appreciated better preparation in terms of the 12 V charging facility for cell phones. If we had an emergency situation, we were in trouble. There was no hot water. We could boil water for coffee, but if we were more than 3 the size of the kettle would have been a problem. The location of the accommodation is in a beautiful reserve and had it been in the summer we would definitely have used the swimming facilities, although it is quite a distance from the accommodation. The accommodation has incredible potential and just a little TLC in terms of resident comfort will keep customers coming back.

Peace, tranquillity clean mountain air and water that tastes so good.

Great trails to walk, a stunning river with clear water, great playground and pool for the grandchildren. And wildlife on your doorstep.

Teleurstellend.

Hoofslaapkamer baie klein en linne van swak gehalte, en geen platlaken. Plek is deurtrek met spinnekoppe, ons het letterlik 'n spinnekop nes onder ons kopkussing gekry en moes dit eers spuit. Muskiete pla baie en daar is niks voorsien vir dit en geen kragproppe vir muskietmasjien. Sonpanele gee slegs krag vir beligting en USB poort. Huis warm bedags met geen waaier nie. Yskas maak nie doeltreffend koud en lyk nie soos op foto nie. Boonste skuifdeur gaan van spoor af. Oord se swembaddens baie mooi met pragtige en rustige omgewing, sal wel beter gras wou hê om die swembaddens.

Disappointing.

Master bedroom very small and poor quality linen, and no flat sheet. Place is full of spiders, we literally found a spider's nest under our pillow and had to spray it first. Mosquitoes bother a lot and there is nothing provided for it and no power plugs for mosquito machine. Solar panels only provide power for lighting and USB port. House hot during the day with no fan. Refrigerator does not cool efficiently and does not look like in photo. Upper sliding door goes off track. Resort pools very nice with beautiful and peaceful surroundings, would have liked better grass around the pools.

A family getaway, lots to entertain the youngsters and we enjoyed a walk by the river, pools and other activities.

Rustic comfort. Fridge didn't work properly. Needs fans in all rooms in the heat. Can't leave doors/windows open due to monkeys. Perhaps some security bars or chicken wire so you can leave them open to ventilate the house.

Good day. Unfortunately, we are off the grid. That mean fans won't work. We will look into it to put something at the Windows to open it at night although the monkeys do not move around after dark.

Armand was vreeslik gaaf, wens ons kon nog langer kuier!

Bietjie issue met gas van die yskas gehad, maar niks wat ys en coolerbokse nie kon uitsort nie. Nie regtig warm water gehad nie, maar ons is in die bos en nie veel daaroor geworry nie. Was warm genoeg om in koue water te stort. Het dit baie geniet.

Armand was very kind, wish we could visit even longer!

Had a bit of an issue with gas from the fridge, but nothing that ice and cooler boxes couldn't sort out. Didn't really have hot water, but we are in the woods and not too worried about it. Wash warm enough to shower in cold water. Enjoyed it a lot.
