Dear Etienne
Thank you for your review. Our manager Colin is indeed an absolute star. We apologise for the unpredictable situation of the tree falling and thankfully had an open unit to move your family too. You will be pleased to know that we stocked the dam with 1000 fingerlings (Brown & Rainbow) last week and are keeping an eye on them and hope that 'catch and release' will be available again soon.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Brambleberry.
Regards,
Ollie

Rustigheid vanself en pragtig!
Brambleberry Lakeside Cabin's response
Dear Nico
Thank you for your feedback which we really value. We have been hit recently by severe storms and this has resulted in the current state of our road. This is not normally the case and Transnet is in the process of rehabilitating the problem, as it is as a result of the railway line.
We are pleased to advise that all the bedding has been replaced this past week.
We are extremely glad to hear that you enjoyed the cabin and environment. We call it our 'little piece of paradise'.
We hope to see again soon.
Regards,
Ollie

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

It is always beneficial to receive feedback as sometimes it highlights things we are unaware of, and obviously we love our guests to be happy and visit again, of which our return rate is extremely high.
We have investigated the door locks as this appears to be an new issue but they all appear to be in order. However, for peace of mind the sliding security doors are all custom made with built in reinforced steel burglar guarding, invisible to the eye, but 100% safe, and supported by the full electric fence surrounding the dam and all accommodation and parking. We are most fortunate to boast a 100% safety record in over 15 years of hosting guests.
The benefit of the peace and tranquillity in an idyllic setting is the compromise for feeling alone and has been appreciated by many single and couple visitors, both young and old over the years. The cabin style facilities are designed to match the country feeling and we try to avoid the glitz and glamour of hotels but we understand that the experience is different for everyone. While our country style get away is laid back and relaxed we always take feedback into consideration and will certainly address any issue that may render your experience anything but out of this world. Keep helping us make things better.

Oorweldigend. Jy kry meer as wat jy verwag.
Die huis is groot en goed ingerig met 'n pragtige uitsig oor 'n meer. Die huis het alles wat jy nodig het. Die vuur was gepak en aangesteek in die kaggel. Die braai was gepak en aangesteek. Beddegoed was heerlik en die beddens gemaklik. Ons was 3 dames op 'n motorfietsreis deur 4 lande en was moeg en stowwerig. Ons het welkom en warm gevoel en bederf. Die plek is pragtig. Ons is opgegradeer na die hoofhuis wat groot is vir 3 dames. 'n Heerlike plek naby restaurante en Notties.

Lovely honeymoon stay.
We loved our stay in the cabin. We did encounter quite a few spiders in the house, which I suppose can't really be helped. But Colin was super, and had a roaring fire ready and waiting for us when we arrived. The dirt road in can be a little treacherous for a suburban sedan, but we managed ok, as it was dry. (I imagine that hill out could be a tad tricky in wet weather.) The lake was pretty, albeit a bit murkier and weedier than shown in the picture. But we had a great stay, and had some good eating at Nottingham Road. Just look out for potholes, esp near the town.

Dear Brett
Thank you for choosing Brambleberry to celebrate your honeymoon. We thank you for your review and valued feedback.
The road and the dam are currently not at their best due to 2 massive storms that we have had in the recent weeks. We are sure that you saw the number of trees that have been upended, etc. In addition to the mud issue, we are also battling an alien grass that stems from upstream which we understand is from a dairy farm. The natural flow of the river into & out of our dam make this a very difficult situation to rectify, despite us having spent huge amounts of money trying. We believe that most of the dams on our route are dealing with the same problem. We hope to reach a resolution in the area shortly.
We really hope to see you again soon.
Kind regards
Ollie

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

We respect that our venue cannot meet everyone’s expectations but always welcome comments of any nature. With a zero-disappointment target, this feedback is only the second of this nature in many years but motivation to take note and do whatever we can to improve the experience even more. Perhaps the intimacy is not for everyone, but never a problem in the past, so we will take note to highlight this asset more in our communication. The tranquility, peace of the location and absolute beauty is what attracts so many guests back year after year, including titled dignitaries from overseas.
The quiet of the valley is nature’s recipe and the peaceful lumbering of the trains in the distance is viewed as soothing and unobtrusive and of course part of the Midlands Valley, but once again we will highlight this more. The freedom to enjoy the time in our paradise without restriction or need for major rules is one of our major assets, as most guests love the freedom to do their own thing, in our informal, but warm and inviting countryside log accommodation. We rarely have need to pamper self-catering guests but where needed, requests of any nature are in the capable hands of our Manager Colin, who receives nothing but rave reviews from all guests as he caters to their every need within the safe and secure environment.

Mooiste dennewoud, raak weg daar binne, voel nie of dit in Suid Afrika kan wees nie!
Ons was letterlik spraakloos toe ons arriveer het, dit was soos ‘n weggesteekte kothuis, tussen dennewoud. Sal beslis eendag weer wil gaan, al wat 'n nadeel was, was die ketel het nie gewerk nie, en daar was geen water die 2de dag wat ons daar was nie. Maar ons het dit nie aangemeld nie, ons was vroeg in die pad weer, maar sou graag die koue mistige oggend met warm koffie wou begin het.
