Stunning location and great value for money.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brambleberry. The log cabins are great value for money, with the most amazing views of the lake and forest.

Heerlike niksdoen verblyf.

Ons het heerlik gebly, die uitsig op die dam is onverbeterlik, die rustigheid uitstekend, en die stilte hemels.

Dis 'n "gem' van 'n pekkie.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang by die hek. Ons eenheid was netjies met vars water. Daar was braaihout en ons kon net rustig sit en die uitsig geniet. En die ligging was uitstekend.

A peaceful wooden home on the lake, best place to refresh your soul!

What a wonderful gem to stay over on our way back to Jhb. The unit is equipped with everything you would need for a night or a week! So peaceful to sit on the deck and listen to the frogs at night and birds in the morning. And the host is a star, so friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Dit was okay vir 1 nag.

N groot gemors wanneer dit reën met so baie modder rondom die huis. Beddegoed en gordyne is oud. Sal help as daar beter aanwysings is waar mens afdraai. Die bestuurder daar was baie behulpsaam en ons het baie goeie diens vanaf hom gekry.

Peace and tranquility at this hidden gem!

What an incredible escape we had! The location at Brambleberry was simply breathtaking, offering tranquility and the delightful serenade of birds in the adjacent forest. Dewald provided us with a fantastic and friendly welcome and guided us through the experience. The Lakeside Cabin was immaculate, exuding a cozy ambiance, and the recently added deck overlooking the dam was nothing short of spectacular. Despite the frigid temperature the night we arrived, a generous supply of dry firewood awaited us beside the fireplace. The details could go on and on, but for now, we express our gratitude and our desire to return for another visit!

Pragtige familie woning met 'n adembenemende uitsig.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier by Brambleberry. Ons was 'n groot klomp mense en al 7 van ons en al ons bagasie het maklik in die huis en slaapkamers ingepas. Die dek onder en bo is perfek vir vroegoggend koffie en onder ook lekker vir 'n laatmiddag braai. Die uitsig is adembenemend. Ons kon nie van die huis af visvang nie a.g.v. grasse in die dam, maar daar is ander nabygeleë damme wat ons kon besoek. Dewald was 'n wenner. Hy het ons baie mooi gehelp met ons aankoms met bagasie, hy is baie vriendelik en het uit sy pad gegaan om ons verblyf by Brambleberry gemaklik te maak. Ons sal vir seker weer kom kuier.

Beautiful family home with a breathtaking view.

We had a great time at Brambleberry. We were a large group of people and all 7 of us and all our luggage easily fit into the house and bedrooms. The deck below and above is perfect for early morning coffee and downstairs also nice for a late afternoon barbecue. The view is breathtaking. We couldn't fish from home because grasses in the pond, but there are other nearby ponds that we could visit. Dewald was a winner. He helped us very nicely on our arrival with luggage, he is very friendly and went out of his way to make our stay at Brambleberry comfortable. We will definitely visit again.

Versteekte juweel.

Die super vriendelike gasheer het ons baie tuis laat voel. Daar was genoeg hout vir die kaggel. Die Lakeside Cabin is pragtig en skoon met 'n lieflike uitsig. Dalk kan daar net 'n spieël aangebring word in die slaapkamer. Dit was 'n besonderse plek vir 'n cosy kuier.

Rustic to falling apart.

There was a person staying in our unit when we arrived. Load shedding does not allow a water pump, so no hot shower or bath when you arrive if it is load shedding. Microwave turntable broken. Caretaker was a champ.

Brambleberry 's response

Dear Gavin

Thank you for bringing these points to our attention which we will address immediately. However, we do remind you that we advised you on 15 May via email that loadshedding does currently affect our water pumps but we normally run the generator to accommodate morning & evening bath and meal times if loadshedding is in affect. If this was not done we apologise and will take it up with our caretaker. We are currently looking into alternative energy sources to overcome the water pump issue.

Regarding the microwave this was not brought to our attention and we still are unaware of this regardless of many guests since your departure but will investigate immediately.

It's a pity you didn't call me direct immediately when you had these problems as we definitely would have addressed them and ensured you had a better experience. We have and do always pride ourselves on providing a great guest experience.

Tranquility at its best.

We enjoyed the most amazingly tranquil getaway. A true gem if you want to escape from the noise and distractions of your everyday life. The owners are most kind and considerate; the staff on-site is friendly and caring, and the cabins are comfortable and fully equipped. Will absolutely recommend this place to everyone as a definite must!

Wegbreek met vrou en kinders.

Ons het skielik op die plek besluit na ons dit op die webtuiste gesien het. Tot ons spyt het dit nie aan ons verwagtinge voldoen nie. Foto's is baie oud. Die meer is omtrent toegegroei met watergras. Aanwysingsbord by ingang het takke en blare voor. Al ligpunt was Colin wat ons mooi ontvang het. Huis was vuil, merke op vloere, stof onder die mat. Spinnerakke orals. Eetgerei, stomp messe, geen blikoopmaker. Geen water tydens beurtkrag nie (ons was nie ingelig hieroor nie). Orals is los skroewe en skarniere. Daaglikse tarief belaglik vir wat jy kry. Die huis het definitief TLC nodig. Ons sal nie weer die Middellande besoek nie. Daar is nog baie om te noem, maar ons was baie teleurgesteld.

Break away with wife and children.

We suddenly decided on the place after seeing it on the website. Unfortunately, it did not live up to our expectations. Photos are very old. The lake is almost overgrown with water grass. Signboard at entrance has branches and leaves in front. All bright spot was Colin who received us nicely. House was dirty, marks on floors, dust under the carpet. Cobwebs everywhere. Cutlery, blunt knives, no can opener. No water during load shedding (we were not informed about this). There are loose screws and hinges everywhere. Daily rate ridiculous for what you get. The house definitely needs TLC. We will not be visiting the Midlands again. There are many more to mention, but we were very disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback. It is always appreciated and keeps us on our toes and updated on things we do not see or are not told about as we do not live on site. Brambleberry is a genuine farm experience and in 20 years our guests have always appreciated it for what it is. We unfortunately have no control over trees, branches, when leaves or branches fall, grass in the dam from upstream cattle farms (a problem in the entire area) or insects, including spiders. This is part of nature and the reason our guests love the experience. Load-shedding is a massive problem no one in the country can control and has affected many guest houses, but we do have a 100KVA 3-phase generator, to run the water pumps during peak times and other appliances so this will be addressed with our manager who should have liaised with you and run the generator. We do however provide drinking water and flushing water when the generator is off. What we can address however is housekeeping issues and this will be taken up with our cleaning staff. We apologise for this which is not our standard. We were not aware of issues with cutlery or loose hinges or screws and will immediately get our handy man out to attend to them. Once again all feedback is appreciated and valued and motivates us to improve. Thank you.

This is a very nice place. Would like to have stayed longer, but maybe next time. Very peaceful, nice view and atmosphere. Only drawback was the dirt road when we got there, but also taking in consideration that it was raining and the road was not really suitable for a car. Colin was great and very helpful. Overall, very nice place!

Thank you for staying with us. We value your review. Unfortunately we have a severe amount of rain and even though it is a short 900m we do understand, however we happy to say that it has dried out and is currently much better and cars have been accessing us.

Plek waar jou siel rus.

Eerste keer dat ons in die groot lodge bly. Fantasties, fantasties, fantasties. Collin het ons verwelkom en die plek kon jy deur 'n ring trek. Skoon, netjies en die mooiste blomme oral geplaas. Ons was 'n groep van 14 mense op pad na 'n MSC Cruise in Durban, maar hierdie was beslis die hoogtepunt van die naweek. Dit is werklik waar tyd stil staan en jou siel tyd kry om te rus. Baie dankie aan Bev vir die reëlings en die gasvryheid. Julle is die beste.

Thank you for staying with us for you one night stay. We appreciate your comments. Whilst we appreciate your honest review we would like to ask you to please email us details of the old and dirty furniture, as both the denim couch and recliner are newly upholstered in denim and should they have been made dirty by a previous guest we need to address it accordingly. We are especially confused as no one has highlighted this after your stay and the unit has been fully booked.

Tranquil gem in the woods.

Brambleberry is an experience I can highly recommend. The cabin facilities are basic, but more than sufficient. The little fireplace warms the cabin to a cosy temperature during winter evenings. Waking each morning to the sound of birds in the trees, a view of the dam and all surrounding nature can destress any individual. Bev and Ollie are wonderful people with great recommendations for the local food or spots of interest. They're willing to help out with local arrangements and information, thanks Bev for the number of the sport's masseuse to ease those post-race niggles.

Asemrowende uitsig, lekker koud, maar die kaggel het ons warm gehou.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang, ons is gehelp om ons goedjies uit te laai. Die hut word daagliks skoongemaak, hout word voorsien vir die kaggel. Ons het heerlik ontspan voor die kaggel, asook op die stoep wat uitkyk oor die meer en al die voëls.

Oorslaap op pad terug vanaf Natal kus na Gauteng.

Pragtige hutte langs 'n meer, knus weggesteek in die Natal Midlands. Selfs in die winter hoor mens soveel voëls, en selfs uile in die nag. Lieflike kaggel in sitkamers, verwarmers in die kamers. Vol DStv. Hulle was bereid om vir ons die generator aan te sit tydens beurtkrag, waardeer dit baie. Wens ons kon langer tyd daar spandeer om in die natuurprag te gaan rondloop en meer van die vele voëls te leer ken. Ons gaan vir seker weer soontoe en onsself meer tyd gee daar. Hulle werk nog daaraan om WiFi te installeer.

Overnight on the way back from Natal coast to Gauteng.

Beautiful lakeside cabins, tucked away snugly in the Natal Midlands. Even in winter you hear so many birds, and even owls at night. Lovely fireplace in lounges, heaters in rooms. Full DStv. They were willing to turn on the generator for us during load shedding, much appreciated. Wish we could spend more time there to walk around in the natural beauty and get to know more of the many birds. We will definitely go there again and give ourselves more time there. They are still working on installing WiFi.

Heerlike, rustige atmosfeer op mooi plek.

Die huisie is gerieflik toegerus met alles wat nodig is vir 'n ruskans. Die diens was onberispelik en vriendelik. Die enigste negatief is swak selfoonsein en daar is nie internetverbinding nie, hoewel dit ook 'n pluspunt kan wees. Regte waarde vir geld!.

Die houthuisie so op die dam is pragtig en dit was verbasend lekker warm binne in hierdie koue weer.

Maak maar net seker dat jy die regte voertuig het om by die huisie te kom wanneer dit reën! Ons lekker gekuier en die opsigter daar het mooi na ons gekyk, dankie! Ons kon ook braai op die balkon terwyl dit reën. Dit was koud, maar daar is heeltemal genoeg warm beddegoed en ons het lekker geslaap. Van die goed soos die stoof is 'n bietjie oud, maar dit het nie regtig gepla nie. Die kraanwater is nie regtig geskik vir drink nie, maar die opsigter het gesorg vir oorgenoeg vars water om te gebruik.

The wooden house on the pond is beautiful and it was surprisingly nice and warm inside in this cold weather.

Just make sure you have the right vehicle to get to the cottage when it rains! We had a great time and the caretaker looked after us well, thank you! We could also barbecue on the balcony while it was raining. It was cold, but there is plenty of warm bedding and we slept well. Some of the things like the stove are a bit old but it didn't really bother. The tap water is not really suitable for drinking, but the caretaker made sure there was plenty of fresh water to use.

Baie lekker.

Die pad na die huis is net een groot gemors en ons moes reëlings tref om ons motorfietse by die Nottingham Hotel to parkeer en vervoer terug na die huis want die pad is so sleg dat 3 motorfietse geval het en baie skade aan gerig. So daar moet duidelik gesê word dat dit word nie aan beveel word dat motorfietse daar moet gaan a.g.v. die pad. As dit nie vir die pad was nie, glo ek ons sou een naweek per maand van die plek gebruik gemaak het.

Very nice.

The road to the house is just one big mess and we had to make arrangements to park our motorbikes at the Nottingham Hotel and transport them back to the house because the road is so bad that 3 motorbikes fell and caused a lot of damage. So it must be clearly stated that it is not recommended that motorcycles should go there due to the road If it wasn't for the road, I believe we would have used the place one weekend a month.

Brambleberry is die mees huislike scenario vir saamwees met familie, en sprokiesagtig.

Enkele onderhoud behels die krane in die onderste stort en bad. 'n Voorraad vullissakke kan die asblik buite die agterdeur taamlik spaar. Die brandhout vir die vuurherd is klam. Alles is oorkombaar en die uiteinde is 'n fenomenale mooi ervaring. Die elektriese heining kort instandhouding, maar die sekuriteit was deurgaans optimaal. Die grondpad is in rybare kondisie. Ligging is fantasties.

Brambleberry is the most homely scenario for being with family, and fairytale-like.

Some maintenance involves the faucets in the lower shower and tub. A supply of garbage bags can save the trash outside the back door quite a bit. The firewood for the hearth is damp. Everything is surmountable and the end is a phenomenally beautiful experience. The electric fence needs maintenance, but the security was optimal throughout. The dirt road is in drivable condition. Location is fantastic.

Nottingham Road se versteekte juweel.

Die reeks houthuisies is in 'n privaat woud met uitsigte oor 'n natuurryke dam. Die plekkie bied absolute sielskalmte met die paddakoor in die aande en die voëltjies in die dag. Definitief 'n plek om te besoek.

The lodge was full of charm and was a comfortable Stay.

The main lodge was a welcome upgrade thank you, it was comfortable and clean, especially the beds. Colin was always helpfull when asked for assistance. The trout fishing was a surprise, good size trout in excellent condition. With regard to the kitchen and bar appliances, they are in need of some urgent maintenance. The outdoor verandah's wooden railings need some attention as they are not secure. Overall a good stay, but with some general maintenance it will become a great place to visit.

Hi Jason

Thank you for your open and honest review. We are so happy that you had an enjoyable stay with us.

Unfortunately we were badly affected by the restrictions of COVID, and suffered a severe loss of revenue and used all of our funds to support our staff during the period. This has resulted in our maintenance programme being delayed some what. In addition our trusted maintenance / wood working gentleman that was in the process of fixing the wooden decks / railings, sadly passed away from COVID.

Now that things are beginning to return to normal our maintenance programme will start again as we recover financially, etc.

We hope to see you again soon.

Ollie

Aan die voet van 'n meer lê hierdie juweeltjie. Wat 'n lekkerte om so deel van die natuur te kon wees.

Clinton het ons met groot entoesiasme verwelkom. Hy is van Zimbabwe en uiters behulpsaam en vriendelik. Ons was ma en dogter met 2 kleinkinders onder 5 jaar. Clinton het ons gehelp met die aflaai van ons bagasie en weer met op pak. Hy het ook in die middel van die nag kom help toe ons per abuis die Noodknoppie gedruk het wat op 'n baie onpraktiese plek langs die badkamer sit. (dalk my enigste negatiewe kommentaar). Sal graag weer daar oorslaap.

At the foot of a lake lies this little gem. What a pleasure to be able to be so part of nature.

Clinton welcomed us with great enthusiasm. He is from Zimbabwe and extremely helpful and friendly. We were mother and daughter with 2 grandchildren under 5 years. Clinton helped us unload our luggage and pack it up again. He also came to help in the middle of the night when we accidentally pressed the Emergency Button which is in a very inconvenient place next to the bathroom. (perhaps my only negative comment). Would love to stay there again.

Absolutely fantastic!

We spent 4 nights/5days at Brambleberry Lodge and it exceeded our expectations! The setting is absolutely idyllic, so peaceful and tranquil. But the unexpected bonus is that it is actually so close to so many places on the Midlands Meander. Colin, the manager was lovely - nothing was too much trouble for him, and his manner is very pleasant indeed. He is a real asset. Originally we had booked the 8 sleeper as there were 8 of us, but then upgraded to the 16 sleeper which was really fabulous! A lot of outside space on the deck and the bedrooms and bathrooms very comfortable indeed. All in all, we had a magical visit and would love to come back in the future. Thank you!

Beautiful surroundings and lake. Perhaps a warning for low suspension vehicles especially during rainy season, the roads are a bit dodgy, rutted and slippery. Also cabin is in need of a bit of exterior maintenance due to weathering the elements in the years gone by. Oven needs an upgrade.

Dear Vanessa,

We thank you for staying with us and value your comments. Since staying with us in March, our road has been upgraded and concrete strips have been added, which now accommodate nearly all vehicles. The interior of the cabin is in the process of being upgraded which includes the stove/oven, which we are converting to gas. The exterior maintenance will also be undertaken shortly. Unfortunately, our maintenance schedule and upgrades have been severally affected by our loss of revenue during COVID and will take some time to balance out but it is always our goal to provide guests with the best possible experience.

We hope to see you again soon.

What a quiet, peaceful and secluded place. What a wow.

My only concern was the water pump that never stops although it can only be heard in the evening because of the quietness. The service from Collen though you'd simply turn a blind eye to minor issues like that. I have already recommended friends of this rare beauty I have discovered and will continue to do so.

Dear Mariska,

Thank you for the review. There were so many changes with your booking and others due to COVID and we changed yours on multiple occasions. With the original booking being made 11 December 2020 and you finally staying with us on 22 December 2021.

Your original booking was for our Lakeside Cabin and that was the unit that you stayed in. We did accommodate the guests you invited for the braai with additional seating.

Should we have overlooked a refund to you, this was purely in error and not how we operate as a business or family.

Please make contact with us and we will ensure that your refund will be made.

I am sure that this is easily sorted out.

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!

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!

Looking for an exceptional getaway in an idyllic setting with a guarantee of quality family time? This rural spot offers the best escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The reception was warm. Thanks to Colin. For the two teenagers, the data collection was a challenge. But made sure we could have fun together. Full DStv made up. Flies were a pest but heard that it generally takes over in the district the time of year in December. The Spar was sold out with spray paint and stickers. Beautiful area, weather has entertained us with mist and rain and sunshine alternately. Boat rowing was a highlight as well as walks in the forest.' A nice experience with enough of the basics to be able to set ourselves up comfortably. Note to neighbors: in such a peaceful place, please leave the loud music at home. It reverberates badly and the nature here has its own song. The visit is one for the album. Thank you!

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.

Tranquility and beautiful scenery. Accommodation very comfortable.

Dennis (driver) deserves a medal. After a tree fell on our cabin on Christmas night and completely destroyed access to our accommodation, he came to help us get out of the house in the early hours of the morning and upgraded to the big house. He had to work all Christmas Day and Family Day to repair the stairs to the cabin and saw up and remove the tree. Despite the great fright, we still rested wonderfully. Sorry there are no fish in the lake.

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.

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.

Beautiful view from the cabin over the dam.

The Lakeside Cabin is a bit tight for 4 people, but it met all the needs. The furniture in the living room is relatively new, but the bed in the master bedroom needs replacing as it lies towards the middle. On arrival we were a bit unsure what was going on, but the workers helped us and later the manager also came to introduce himself. Mobile phone reception is quite poor which helps to appreciate the peaceful scenery. I would recommend putting a fan in the place and maybe looking at replacing the pans in the kitchen. We will definitely visit here again.

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.

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.

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.

We were upgraded to the main house which is large for 3 ladies. A lovely place close to restaurants and 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The accommodation did not meet our expectation inspired by the location.

The location is a private valley. It is much more intimate than one would expect. As a result, the sound of voices and music resonates so clearly that the distance between the 3 units almost doesn't matter. There are also frequent goods trains passing by the premises which can be heard throughout the valley. The owners were not present, and there seemed to be few guidelines for the conduct and consideration of guests.

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.

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.
