Brambleberry Lakeside Cabin

Baie rustig en lekker

Dit is 'n baie rustige plek waar ons op die stoep kon sit, eet en gesels en die natuur om ons kon inneem.

Lovely stay in a beautiful, peaceful setting.

We know the Midlands area well and this was a wonderful find. We had a lovely stay and the setting was beautiful. I will definitely recommend this accommodation to friends.

Great location, everything we needed.

My wife and I enjoyed a few days at Brambleberry in early August, a perfect midlands getaway during those chilly winter months. It was easy to find, close to many of the midlands attractions, but felt far away enough from anything resembling hustle and bustle. Plenty of firewood was supplied. We would walk out of the cabin, around the lake and into the forest and create our own path. The staff were great and left us alone unless we needed anything. We would recommend this to anyone, and will be definitely be back.

Een van die vreedsaamste mooiste plekke waar ons was.

Dit is prentjiemooi buite, die omgewing ruik lekker dit voel veilig, ons 5 jarige kleinkind het kom vra of ons die hele vakansie kan kuier! Ek kan nie wag om die winter daar te wees om die kaggel aan te steek nie! Puik!

A piece of heaven.

Peaceful, place is clean and neat. We'll definitely come again.

Rustigheid en pragtige natuurskoon. Verblyf baie gerieflik.

Dennis (bestuurder) verdien ‘n medalje. Nadat ‘n boom oukersnag op ons cabin geval en toegang tot ons verblyf totaal vernietig het, het hy ons in die vroeë oggendure kom help om uit die huis te kom en opgegradeer na die groot huis. Hy moes die hele Kersdag en gesinsdag werk om die trappe na die cabin te herstel en die boom op te saag en te verwyder. Ten spyte van die groot skrik het ons steeds heerlik gerus. Jammer daar is nie vis in die meer nie.

Op soek na 'n uitsonderlike wegbreek in 'n idilliese omgewing met 'n waarborg van kwaliteit familietyd? Hierdie landelike plekkie bied die beste weg van stadsgewoel.

Die ontvangs was hartlik. Dankie aan Colin. Vir die twee tieners was die dataopvangs 'n uitdaging. Maar het verseker ons kon lekker saam kuier. Volledige DStv het opgemaak. Vlieë was plaag maar hoor dat dit oor die algemeen in die distrik oorneem die tyd van die jaar in Desember. Die Spar was uitverkoop met spuitgif en plakke. Prag area, weer het ons vermaak met mis en reëns en sonskyn afwisselend. Boot roei was 'n hoogtepunt asook wandelings in die woud.' n Lekker belewenis met genoeg van die basiese om onsself gemaklik te kon inrig. Nota aan bure: by so rustige plek, los gerus maar die harde musiek by die huis. Dit weerklank erg en die natuur hier het sy eie sang. Die besoek is een vir die album. Dankie!

Excellent stay at the lodge.

Collin, the manager was very helpful. The lodge was excellent in every way except the whole Nottingham area was infested with flies unfortunately, with all the issues Colin made it a comfortable stay. The dam and views, the greenery and birds were excellent viewing.

Goeie ligging, maar het aandag nodig.

Sien sterre.

Heerlike rustige atmosfeer, voëlliefhebbers sal mal wees oor die plek, sal definitief plekkie aanbeveel!

Vir wegbreek en jouself vind, is hierdie ideaal! Alle bykomstighede wat jy gebruik in jou eie huis is daar. Kaggel vir die winter kan heel romanties wees. Atmosfeer heel rustig, mal oor uitsig, so idillies! Sal definitief weer kom. Dankie Ollie, Bev en Colin!

Pragtige uitsig vanuit die cabin oor die dam.

Die Lakeside Cabin is bietjie knap vir 4 mense, maar het wel voldoen aan al die behoeftes. Die meubels in die sitkamer is relatief nuut, maar die bed in die hoofslaapkamer moet vervang word aangesien dit na die middel lê. Met aankoms was ons bietjie onseker wat aangaan, maar die werkers het ons gehelp en later het die bestuurder ook hom kom voorstel. Selfoon-opvangs is maar redelik swak wat help om die rustige natuurskoon te waardeer. Ek sal wel aanbeveel dat 'n waaier in die plek gesit word en miskien kyk om die panne te vervang in die kombuis. Ons sal beslis weer hier kom kuier.

Rustigheid vanself en pragtig!

Die pad was effens sleg en baie steil, het met 'n klein karratjie gegaan en gesukkel om terug te ry met die opdraende. Was lanklaas by so mooi en rustige plek, net jammer die beddgoed was nie skoon nie.

Gerieflik en ontspannend.

Baie lekker rustige privaat verblyf net pad moet bietjie opgeknap word.

Lovely location, however we found that a lot of work needs to be done/updated. The place has potential.

The location is stunning, as all 3 cabins overlook the dam, with lots of ducks and birds around it was lovely to sit out on the deck and relax. However, it was just my mom and I staying at the cabin, there was only the manager on the property who welcomed us as we arrived and some workers who were fixing one of the cabins. Unfortunately we didn't feel safe as the property is quite far off the road and there isn't really anyone around. The front door did not lock as the lock was faulty, luckily there was wooden type of security gate in front of the door which locked. We tried to lock our bedroom door but that didn't lock either. With us being two women alone in a cabin that didn't lock, we felt very vulnerable and didn't get much sleep. The place has so much potential, but unfortunately is a bit run down. its definitely a great holiday for a large group or family but i would not recommend it for individuals on their own.

Overwhelming. You get more than you expect.

The house is large and well appointed with beautiful lake views. It has everything you'd need. The fire was packed and lit in the fireplace. The braai was packed and lit. Bedding was lovely and the beds comfortable. We were 3 ladies on a motorcycle trip through 4 countries and were tired and dusty. We felt welcome and warm and spoiled. The place is beautiful. We were upgraded to the main house which is large for 3 ladies. A lovely place close to restaurants and Notties.

We loved our stay in this peaceful and happy place, with all the comforts of home.

It was easy to make this booking and the owners were friendly and responsive. The accommodation delivered everything we were expecting. We really enjoyed our stay.

Pragtige wittebrood-verblyf.

Ons het ons verblyf in die kajuit liefgehad. Ons het 'n hele paar spinnekoppe in die huis teëgekom, wat nie regtig iemand se skuld is nie. Maar Colin was super, en het 'n warm vuur reggehad vir ons toe ons aankom. Die grondpad kan 'n bietjie verraderlik wees vir 'n voorstedelike sedan, maar ons het reggekom, want dit was droog. (Ek kan indink dat die heuwel 'n bietjie moeilik kan wees in nat weer.) Die meer was mooi, alhoewel 'n bietjie mistiger en vol onkruid as wat in die foto's getoon word. Maar ons het 'n goeie verblyf gehad, en het lekker geëet by Nottinghamweg. Kyk net uit vir slaggate, veral naby die dorp.

Die akkommodasie het nie aan ons verwagting voldoen wat deur die ligging geïnspireer is nie.

Die ligging is 'n privaat vallei. Dit is baie meer intiem as wat mens sou verwag. Gevolglik trek die klank van stemme en musiek so duidelik dat die afstand tussen die 3 eenhede omtrent nie saakmaak nie. Daar loop ook gereeld goedere-treine langs die perseel verby wat deur die hele vallei gehoor kan word. Die eienaars was nie teenwoordig nie, en daar blyk min riglyne te wees vir die optrede en bedaagsaamheid van gaste.

This was the best 1 night sleep over - wish we could stay longer!

We received excellent customer service from the staff at Brambleberry, even before we arrived, upon our arrival and as we were leaving. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and very well equipped - and the view of the dam and plantations was amazing. Very peaceful and quiet. We would love to visit Brambleberry again and bring friends along to perhaps then stay in the bigger cabin and stay for 2 nights or longer!

Most beautiful pine forest, you could get lost there, doesn't feel like it's South Africa!

We were literally speechless when we arrived, it was like a hidden cottage between pine forests. Would definitely go again one day, only negative thing was that the kettle did not work and there was no water the 2nd day we were there. But we didn't report it, we were back on the road early, but would've likes to start the cold foggy morning with hot coffee.
