Mooiste huisie tussen die bome wat ernstig aandag kort.

Baboons Gift is die mooiste huisie met die lekkerste stoep in die bome, maar die plek kort ernstige onderhoud en 'n goeie skoonmaak. Dit reën binne op die bed en op die tafel op die stoep a.g.v. lekkasies. Die gasgeyser benodig 'n goeie diens en die kragstelsel ook. Daar is goggas wat in daardie rietdak nesgemaak het en orals uitkruip. Gelukkig het ek Doom saamgevat. Die badkamer het amper 'n gogga-mat gehad, so baie was daar. As die dak oorgedoen word, die geyser en kragstelsel gediens word, en die plek goed geskrop word, sal ek weer gaan. Baie behulpsaam, maar kon ook net soveel doen omtrent die krag en geyser. Ek het nie my 3de aand gebly nie, want ek het nie kans gesien vir 'n koue stort en die kragstelsel wat heelnag skreeu nie.

Most beautiful house among the trees that seriously needs attention.

Baboons Gift is the most beautiful house with the nicest porch in the trees, but the place needs serious maintenance and a good cleaning. It is raining inside on the bed and on the table on the stoep because leaks. The gas geyser needs a good service and so does the power system. There are bugs that have nested in that thatched roof and are crawling out everywhere. Fortunately, I brought Doom with me. The bathroom almost had a bug carpet, so many there were. If the roof is redone, the geyser and power system are serviced, and the place is well scrubbed, I will go again. Very helpful, but could only do so much about the power and geyser. I didn't stay my 3rd night because I didn't want a cold shower and the power system screaming all night.

Great atmosphere.

Breathtakingly beautiful. The hiking trail is a little overgrown and the hot water in the shower is a little tricky to work out, but overall just everything!

Quite, peaceful, stunning views, rustic, remote.

Always amazing. I have been there 3 times now and each time is better than the last. No signal, which is perfect. Stunning views. Has a hot tub, which is the best part. Definitely going back again. One of my favourite places to go for a remote getaway.

Baie rustig en lekker gebraai op die buitebraai en stoep - 'n wenner.

Baie rustig en 'n ideale plek om weg te kom van alles - selfone, TV, ens. Die gasgeyser en stort kort egter baie dringend aandag. Ons het volgens versoek glad nie aan die geyser gestel nie, maar kon net eenkeer vir sowat 40 sekondes 'n warm stort geniet in die drie dae se verblyf. Die geyser skakel aan, maar gaan nie bokant 18C nie. Die gasstofie vat ook 'n leeftyd om net twee koppies water te kook.

Translate to English.

Very quiet and nice barbecue on the outdoor barbecue and stoep - a winner.

Very peaceful and an ideal place to get away from everything - cell phones, TV, etc. However, the gas geyser and shower need very urgent attention. As requested, we did not go to the geyser at all, but could only enjoy a hot shower once for about 40 seconds during the three days' stay. The geyser turns on but does not go above 18C. The gas stove also takes a lifetime to boil just two cups of water.

Mooiste natuur en stilte.

Die enigste probleem was die 10h00 uitgaan, so my vrou kon dit ongelukkig nie beleef nie, want sou dan moes sit en wag vir 5 ure op 'n ander plek.

Godgelooflike ervaring om so naby aan jou Skepper se skepping te kon wees.

Weens onvoorsiene omstandighede buite ons beheer (stormweer) moes ons noodgedwonge vinnig oppak Sondagaand. Daar is geen selfoonopvangs en dit het onophoudelik gereën, so ons het binne 'n uur klaar gepak en 7 uur Sondagaand teruggery Kaap toe. Ons het net betyds teruggekom, anders was ons ook van die mense wat vasgevang was met die oorstromings. Ons beveel die verblyf met die grootste vrymoedigheid aan as jy wil "connect" met God en Sy skepping. Hier kan jy vir seker weer herlaai. Jy het die nodige geriewe om te doen wat jy tuis ook kon doen as dit by etes kom. Alles is daar. Jy mis nie eens jou luuksighede van jou huis nie. Daar is 'n heerlike kaggel asook 'n gasverwarmer. In die somer is daar baie meer aktiwiteite om aan deel te neem, soos fietsry en die staproetes doen, asook die voëls bewonder, en die pragtige plantegroei.

God-believing experience to be so close to your Creator's creation.

Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control (stormy weather), we were forced to pack up quickly on Sunday evening. There is no cell phone reception and it rained non-stop, so we packed up within an hour and drove back to Cape Town at 7 o'clock Sunday evening. We came back just in time, otherwise we would also have been among the people caught in the floods. We recommend the stay with the greatest boldness if you want to "connect" with God and His creation. Here you can reload for sure. You have the necessary facilities to do what you could do at home when it comes to meals. Everything is there. You don't even miss your luxuries of home. There is a lovely fireplace as well as a gas heater. In the summer there are many more activities to take part in, such as cycling and hiking, as well as admiring the birds and the beautiful vegetation.

Buitenstekloof Mountain Cottages het ons wildste verwagtinge oortref!

In die 2 dae wat ons hier was, het dit gevoel asof ons vir 'n week lank op vakansie was. Die natuurskoon is absoluut asemrowend. Om op so manier deel te word van die natuur - aanvoelbare stiltes, pragtigste voëlgeluide, kabbelende waterstrome, sonsondergange wat prentjiemooi is en 'n sterreprag wat onbeskryflik is! Die hoogtepunt was natuurlik die verhitte swembadjie! Wat meer wil jy dan nou hê? As jou behoefte is om batterye te laai, is Buitenstekloof Mountain Cottages jou antwoord!

Thank you for your review, Bernadette! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay.

We have already taken steps to heat the hot tubs more efficiently during these cold winter months, by supplying each hot tub with a lid, as almost 65% of the heat is lost from the top.

Depending on your needs, we always have more wood for sale and available - we recently bought Rooikrans which is by far the most popular braai wood the Western Cape, and will also improve the efficiency of heating up the hot tub.

We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Dit is 'n pragtige huisie vir twee. Alles wat jy soek is daar. Die bed slaap so lekker. Dit het ongelukkig gereën so ons kon nie al die staproetes doen of die hot tub benut nie. Sal weer soontoe gaan.

Waarsku dat hout nodig gaan wees vir hot tub en stel voor dat dit vooraf gereël en betaal word. Hulle noem van hout, maar nie dat jy hele klomp gaan nodig hê nie. Wingerdhout brand ook te vinnig. Al voorstel wat ek het.

This is a beautiful cottage for two. Everything you are looking for is there. The bed sleeps so well. Unfortunately it rained so we couldn't do all the hiking trails or use the hot tub. Will go there again.

Warn that wood will be needed for hot tub and suggest that it be arranged and paid for in advance. They mention wood, but not that you're going to need a whole lot. Vine wood also burns too quickly. All suggestion I have.

Ons sit wel 'n krat vol houtblokkies uit vir die warmbad om mee af te skop, maar beplan om die wingerdhout met doring of bloekom te vervang wat dan lekker lank sal brand.

Old style home in beautiful setting.

The house could do with some maintenance but we feel it was worth every cent! Sadly the dam was almost empty. Lovely big fridges. Wonderful to be in nature with no WiFi or cell reception to distract. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful retreat into nature

We decided to get away from the city for a few days, and chose the cottage because it has no WiFi signal. Much to our surprise, even our teenage daughters loved the holiday - enjoy walking, riding their bikes, paddling on the dam and just relaxing - and even asked to stay a few extra nights. The cottage is rustic but charming, and the setting is exquisite.

Wat 'n fantastiese ligging vir rus en vrede.

Die huisie is pragtig en net wat 'n mens nodig het. Die uitsig van oral is asemrowend. Ons het heerlik gaan stap en fiets gaan ry. Die enigste wat ons nog sou wou doen, was swem/roei, maar die swemgat/dam is nie heeltemal geskik daarvoor nie.

Hi Margaux

Thank your for your positive review - we are glad you enjoyed your stay.

For swimming and relaxing, we installed private hot tubs at each cottage - should you prefer, they can also be used as normal plunge pools for swimming and cooling down. We also provided a small boat at the dam for relaxing on the water.

We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

Heeltemal wat ons nie verwag het nie.

Alhoewel die plekkie pragtig en afgeleë is, alles mooi skoon en netjies in die huisie is, was dit tog teleurstellend om te sien dat die foto's op die webwerf glad nie ooreenstem oor hoe dit werklik was nie. As 'n mens hoor van 'n mountain pool wat 10 meter van jou huisie af is, neem jy aan dit is 'n swembad vir kinders. Nie eers te praat van die pragtige foto's wat op die webwerf is waar kinders op die rivier met 'n kano baljaar nie, dit bestaan glad nie. Sal die plekkie aanbeveel vir 'n honeymoon couple, maar glad nie vir 'n gesin met kinders nie. Die beskrywing vandat daar 'n "goodie-bag" vir alle gaste in die cottage wag, vergeet hulle om te sê dat jy vir die items moet betaal wat jy gebruik.

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

Totally what we didn't expect.

Although the place is beautiful and remote, everything is nice clean and tidy in the cottage, it was disappointing to see that the photos on the website did not correspond at all to how it really was. If you hear about a mountain pool that is 10 meters from your house, you assume it is a pool for children. Not to mention the beautiful photos that are on the website of children frolicking on the river with a canoe, they do not exist at all. Would recommend the place for a honeymoon couple, but not at all for a family with children. The description since there is a "goodie-bag" waiting for all guests in the cottage, they forget to say that you have to pay for the items you use.

Ons het lekker gekuier en berge was mooi.

Daar kort bordjies om aan te dui waar om af te draai, want amper die voertuig beskadig om deur doringtakke te moes ry. Julle het pragtige prente van water en mense roei en dis geriewe waarvoor ons betaal het, toe is daar niks water nie. Dis oneties en vals bemarking, julle moet 'n aanduiding sit om te sê daar is nie water in die dam nie.

There are no signs to indicate where to turn off, because almost damaging the vehicle to drive through thorn branches. You have beautiful pictures of water and people rowing and those are facilities we paid for, then there is no water. It's unethical and false marketing, you should put a sign to say there is no water in the pond.

Rustig.

Daar is 'n paar dinge wat ek net onder bestuur se aandag bring. 1. Die brandblusser is 6 jaar laas gediens en is op verkeerde plek geplaas. Agter voordeur aan bracket sou meer bekombaar wees. 2. Die oppervlakte van sement is taai en goed sit vas. Veral waar stofie staan. 3. 'n Vlieplak sal handig wees. Ek glo nie iemand pak vlieëdoder in nie. 4. Gordyn by stort se venster is 'n moet asb. Verder is dit baie lekker om daar te kuier.

Restful.

There are a few things that I just bring to management's attention. 1. The fire extinguisher was serviced 6 years ago and was placed in the wrong place. Rear front door to bracket would be more obtainable. 2. The surface of cement is tough and sticks well. Especially where there is dust. 3. A fly stick will come in handy. I don't believe anyone packs fly killer. 4. Curtain at the shower window is a must please. Furthermore, it is very nice to visit there.

Baie mooi natuurskoon. Nie geskik vir naweekverblyf nie.

Ja, ek kan dit aanbeveel vir die natuurskoon, maar ek sal dit nie aanbeveel vir 'n hele naweek nie. Batterykrag is nie voldoende nie. Wintermaande is baie koud om te stort. Stort is hopeloos te groot en oop met gasgeyser wat ook nog sukkel om by te bly. Dink nie dit was die prys werd nie. Kasdeur in kombuis het af geval. Ou gordyne. Nie baie moeite en tyd of geld is aan die plekkie spandeer nie. Gelukkig het ons net daar geslaap en was heeldag uit, anders weet ek darem nie hoe die sonpanele en gas dit sou hou nie.

Beautiful scenery. Not suited for weekend accommodation.

Yes, I can recommend it for the scenery, but I wouldn't recommend it for a whole weekend. Battery power is not sufficient. Winter months are very cold to shower. Shower is too big and open with gas geyser that is still struggling to keep up. Don't think it was worth the price. Kitchen door in kitchen fell off. Old curtains. Not much effort and time or money was spent on the place. Luckily we just slept there and were out all day, otherwise I didn't know how the solar panels and gas would keep up.

Lieflike ou plaas huis met tonne karakter.

Ons het 'n wonderlike rustige tyd gehad by Pomegranate Cottage. My enigste kritiek sal wees om dalk 'n paar batteryliggies te verskaf wat reeds gelaai is. Die krag gaan redelik vroeg af en as ons nie ons eie ligte saamgeneem het nie, sou ons in donkerte gedompel wees. Die stort koppe kan dalk ook na gekyk word en beddens is taamlik oud, maar mens verwag dit half van so ou plaashuis. Buiten bogenoemde is die mense baie vriendelike, die huis is skoon en netjies en dit is die ideale wegbreek van die stadslewe met geen selfoonsein, elektrisiteit, ens.

Lovely old farm house with tons of character.

We had a wonderful time at Pomegranate Cottage. My only criticism would be to provide a few battery lights that have already been charged. The power goes off pretty early and if we didn't bring our own lights, we would be immersed in darkness. The shower heads should also be looked at and beds are fairly old, but one expects that of that old farmhouse. Apart from the above, people are very friendly, the house is clean and tidy and is the ideal getaway from city life with no cellphone signal, electricity, etc.

Beautiful, unspoilt and peaceful.

For those who like a quiet and secluded spot, this is perfect. The gas fridge needs work. It does not keep items sufficiently cold. Alright for a day or two but not longer than that.

Vir diegene wat hou van rustigheid en stilte is hierdie verblyf perfek. Die gas yskas gee wel probleme.

A tranquil, beautiful piece away from all normal life and bringing you back to nature.

A stunning weekend get away. The bird life is wonderful and the sound of nature calls. Nice hikes and a great get away if you want to just relax and rejuvenate or perfect to go with friends for fun filled hikes and getting back to nature.

Lovely place and very quiet, but the accommodation is unfortunately neglected.

The cottage has clearly been set up splendidly and generously some years ago. It has a lovely porch, good layout with a generously sized bed and bathroom. Unfortunately it currently shows clear signs of neglect with little attention to maintenance or care and gives the distinct impression that owners/management have lost interest in the business. Herewith a list of some of the issues: fish moths in pots and pans, kitchen floor was grimy, no plugs in kitchen zinc so one could not wash dishes properly, kitchen plumbing was shoddy, incomplete cutlery, gas heating of water kicked out after 2 minutes, dirty cloths seem to have been used to clean surfaces and left dirt marks on e.g. cupboard doors, solar electricity lights and chords have been badly installed, mattresses have lost their form and we turned them over to get a firmed feel, magazines were old (2011). The most annoying issue, however, was the electricity inverter which had a buzzing ventilator that disturbed the splendid silence twice per minute.

Skitterend en sielsverkwikkend!

Wat 'n heerlike wegbreek in die berge! Hier kan jy werklik ontspan en terugkeer na die meer basiese dinge in die lewe. Die verblyf is eenvoudig, tog netjies, alhoewel die huisies binne kan doen met 'n lagie verf. Alhoewel mens nou nie dit juis raaksien wanneer jou gedagtes vasgevang raak deur die berge wat jou omring nie! Die wynproe, wat ingesluit is by die verblyf, is heerlik.

Dazzling and soul-invigorating!

What a lovely getaway in the mountains! Here you can truly relax and return to the more basic things in life. The accommodation is simple, yet neat, although the cottages inside could do with a coat of paint. Although you don't really notice it when your mind gets caught up in the mountains that surround you! The wine tasting, which is included in the stay, is delicious.

Pragtige uitsigte. Heerlike gasverwarmer. Die beste kaggel/binnebraai.

Pragtige uitsigte. Gemaklike tuiste vir 2 mense. Heerlike gasverwarmer, was 'n redding in die koue. Pragtige bedlinne. Die huisie was mooi skoon. Die beste was die wonderlike kaggel/binnebraai wat goed trek. Daar was die volgende oggend geen reuk of teken dat daar die vorige aand gebraai was nie. Baie goeie gasyskas, tweeplaatgasstofie. Warmwater- en kouewatertoevoer baie goed. Toilet werk goed. Stort baie goed. Iets om te oorweeg is 'n klein tafel en 2 stoele in plaas van die halwe vaatjie. Die volgende het aandag nodig: die bed moet binnekort vervang word, daar is 'n los spons bo-op die matras, die sitkamer is uiters ongemaklik, maak jou rug seer. Moes op kampstoele sit, gelukkig het ons ons kampstoele by ons gehad. Ons stel byvoorbeeld voor om die lae bankie en 2 hangmat-stoele uit te haal en eerder 2 gemaklikes in te sit. 'n Mens moet op jou skoot eet. So dit kan 2 gemaklike regop stoele wees. Was stoep se plastiese stoele en staaltafeltjie. Vir behoud mag die eienaar dalk wil oorweeg om die waterpype by die kombuis en stort vas te maak teen die muur. Dit is pragtige waterpype. Oor die algemeen 'n pragtige plek, sal graag weer wil besoek.

Beautiful views. Lovely gas heater. The best fireplace/indoor grill.

Beautiful views. Comfortable home for 2 people. Lovely gas heater, was a lifesaver in the cold. Beautiful bed linen. The house was very clean. The best was the wonderful fireplace/indoor barbecue that draws well. The next morning there was no smell or sign that there had been a roast the night before. Very good gas cupboard, double plate gas stove. Hot and cold water supply very good. Toilet works well. Showers very well. Something to consider is a small table and 2 chairs instead of the half barrel. The following needs attention: the bed needs to be replaced soon, there is a loose sponge on top of the mattress, the living room is extremely uncomfortable, hurts your back. Had to sit on camp chairs, luckily we had our camp chairs with us. For example, we suggest taking out the low bench and 2 hammock chairs and putting in 2 comfortable ones instead. One must eat on one's lap. So it can be 2 comfortable upright chairs. Wash stoep's plastic chairs and steel table. For conservation, the owner may want to consider fixing the water pipes at the kitchen and shower to the wall. These are beautiful water pipes. Overall a lovely place, would love to visit again.

Buitenstekloof Mountain Cottages 's response

Heinrich, ons is bly julle het die naweek geniet en lekker gerus.
Baie dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer en ook aanbevelings - ons neem dit ter harte en sal beslis daaraan aandag gee. Net ter inligting, die eksta spons op die bed is 'n eierdopmatras wat meer gerief en sagtheid verskaf vir die persone wat 'n sagter matras verkies, en in die winter ook meer hitte verskaf.
Ons sien uit daarna om julle binnekort weer terug te verwelkom om die opgraderings te kom geniet!

Baie lekker goedkoop wegbreeknaweek vir iemand wat 'n lekker breuk soek!

'n Heerlike verblyf en wegbreeknaweek! Dit was heerlik om sonder krag en net die basiese behoegtes te kon bly! Die solar krag was groot hulp, maar ook die gastoevoer was baie lekker! Dit was heerlik om weg te kom van selfone en weer in aanraking te kon wees met die natuur! Ons kyk uit vir die volgende wegbreek!

Ligging pragtig, maar verblyf self was teleurstellend.

Daar was ongelukkig verskeie klein jakkalsies wat die naweek bederf het. Die dak lek op verskeie plekke in die kothuis. Daar was slegs op die eerste aand ligte in die slaap- en badkamer. Die gordyne in die slaapkamer het telkemale afgeval. Die slaapkamer het nie 'n deur nie en dit maak die kamer nogal koud en indien daar nog mense sou wees, kan privaatheid problematies raak. Die badkamer se twee onbedekte vensters is ook nogal ongemaklik. Op 'n positiewer noot was die ligging iets besonders veral as mens saans die maan oor die bergtoppe sien uitklim.

The location was beautiful, but the accommodation was disappointing.

Unfortunately there were a few jackals that spoiled the weekend. The roof leaks in various places in the cottage. On the first night only the bedroom and bathroom had working lights. The curtains in the room fell of many times. The bedroom does not have a door, which makes the room cold and if there is more people it leaves a privacy issue. The bathroom has two uncovered windows, which makes it uncomfortable. On a positive note, the location is exceptional, especially if one wants to climb the mountain tops in the moonlight.

Die huise is nie soos op die advertensie nie, skep verwarring. Miskien is die prentjie van ander huise.

Ek het reeds 'n verslag na Buitenkloof gestuur. Hier was ook geen ys beskikbaar nie want die gasyskas was nie lank genoeg voor ons aankoms aangeskakel nie. Die vrieskas het wel gewerk. Badkamer en stort het nie skoon gelyk/gevoel nie. Geen gordyn nie. Ek kon nie stort nie want miskien het ek nie die gas gebruik verstaan nie, maar elke keer as ek die koue kraan oopdraai om die water te reguleer dan gaan die gas dood. Baie gesukkel en toe gelos. Die dak het gelek en water op my vrou se voete, papnat gewees, moes toe ander plan maak.

The houses are not as advertised, creating confusion. Maybe the picture of other houses.

I have already sent a report to Buitenkloof. There was also no ice available here because the gas cooler had not been switched on long enough before our arrival. The freezer did work. Bathroom and shower did not look/feel clean. No curtain. I couldn't take a shower because maybe I didn't understand how to use the gas, but every time I turn on the cold tap to regulate the water, the gas goes off. Struggled a lot and then left. The roof was leaking and water was on my wife's feet, soaking wet, then had to make other plans.

Verblyf was nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Die omgewing is prentjiemooi. Ons het in die Baboons Gift Cottage tuisgegaan omdat ons 'n gesin van 5 is. Ons was ontnugter deur 1 slaapkamer met 'n dubbelbed en 'n enkelbed en slaapbank in 'n baie klein leefarea/kombuis. Ons moes self die enkelbed opmaak. Die slaapbank se 2 matrasse het nie gepas nie, gevolglik moes ons dogtertjie op die matras op die vloer slaap. Daar was slegs 1 duvet en 2 komberse vir ons 3 kinders beskikbaar. Die tweede aand het die gaste langsaan vir ons komberse geleen. Slegs 4 stoele by toonbank waar ons moes eet en a.g.v. die vrieskas was daar net sitplek vir 3. My seuns moes op die matras sit en eet. Dis 'n pragtige klein cottage in 'n baie mooi omgewing, maar heeltemal te klein vir 5 mense, soos geadverteer. Dis ideaal vir slegs 2 persone soos die cottage langsaan (wat presies dieselfde grootte is). Met matras op vloer, slaapbank wat ons moes skuif dat alles inpas, was daar weinig beweegspasie. En omdat dit baie koud was, was dit moeilik. Gelukkig was ons baie min daar a.g.v. sportverpligtinge.

Accommodation was not what we expected.

The surroundings are picturesque. We stayed in the Baboons Gift Cottage because we are a family of 5. We were disappointed by 1 bedroom with a double bed and a single bed and sofa bed in a very small living area/kitchen. We had to make the single bed ourselves. The sofa bed's 2 mattresses did not fit, so our little girl had to sleep on the mattress on the floor. There was only 1 duvet and 2 blankets available for our 3 children. The second night the guests next door lent us blankets. Only 4 chairs at the counter where we had to eat and because the freezer only had seating for 3. My boys had to sit on the mattress and eat. It's a beautiful little cottage in a very beautiful setting, but way too small for 5 people, as advertised. It's ideal for only 2 people like the cottage next door (which is exactly the same size). With a mattress on the floor, a sofa bed that we had to move so that everything would fit, there was little room to move. And because it was very cold, it was difficult. Fortunately we were there very little because sports commitments.

Die rustigheid van die natuur was hemels!

Plekkie was heel netjies. Gelukkig het ons voorsiening gemaak van die nodige! Ek het net my "view" gesoek soos adverteer. Bietjie bekommerd oor die veiligheid aangesien cottages so ver binne is en geen signal en daar nie rêrig n control gate is nie. Mountain pool nie rêrig vir swem nie maar bietjie vuil gelyk. Anders was ons tuiste baie lekker en rustig. Die diens wat ons ontvang het was baie goed!

Otherwise our home was very nice and quiet. The service we received was very good!

Teleurgesteld.

Ons was redelik teleurgesteld in ons verblyf by Rooipensie. Die akkommodasie was geboek vir 4 mense, maar 2 mense het 'n koninggroote bed gehad met en suite badkamer, terwyl die ander 2 op 'n 'sleepercouch' in die sitkamer moes slaap. Daar was geen beddegoed verskaf vir die bank. Ons het net een rolletjie toilet papier ontvang vir 4 mense vir 2 nagte! Daar was solar power, maar die ligte het saans net 20 minute gehou na die son gesak het, en daar was net 2 kerse verskaf (wat na die eerste aand al op gebruik was). Die geyser het partymaal warm gemaak, en partymaal nie en die laaste oggend was daar geen water! Ons moes rivier water in die toilet bak gooi om die toilet te trek en ons tande met gebottelde water borsel. Uiters teleurstellende ondervinding.

Disappointed

We were quite disappointed with our accommodation at Rooipensie. The accommodation was booked for 4, but 2 people shared the queen-size bed while the 2 other guests had to share a sleeper couch in the lounge. There was bedding for the couch. We only got 1 roll of toilet paper for 4 people for 2 nights! There's solar power, but the light went off after 20 minutes after sunset and only 2 candles were provided (which were burned down by the end of the first evening). The geyser just heated some of the time and sometime not at all. There was no hot water the later morning! We had to pour river water in the toilet bowl to flush it and brush our teeth with bottled water. Extremely disappointing experience.

Alhoewel ek weet dat daar nie elektrisiteit is nie, word ligte en warm water deur gas belowe. Die ligte het presies 20 minute gebrand en dan werk dit nie meer nie, ongeag of jy die "rooi" draadjie deur die dag inprop om te laai. Geen ekstra kerse word eers verskaf nie. 'n Persoon kan ook nie bel nie, want daar is geen selfoonopvangs nie en as jou foon pap is, kan jy dit ook nie daar laai nie. Mense wat saam ons daar was het net twee aande uit die drie gebly en toe maar besluit hulle ry terug Pretoria toe. Kombuisware en meubels is oor die algemeen in swak toestand. Nie eers wasbakprop in badkamer nie.

Not again. Lights don't work, one cottage no hot water or fridge.

Even though I knew there is no electricity, lights and hot water are promised. The lights worked for exactly 20 minutes and then not anymore, even if you plug the red wire in during the day to charge. No extra candles are even provided. One can not even call because there is no cellphone signal and if your cellphone is dead you can't charge it. The people who were there with us only stayed 2 out of the 3 nights en then decided to drive back to Pretoria. Kitchenware and furniture are in a poor condition. Not even a plug for the basin in the bathroom.

Die plek is vuil en was geensins gediens nie.

Hulle verwar rustic met vuil en swak vakmanskap, bedrading hang orals teen mure af. Dis geensins julle naam waardig nie.

The place is dirty and was not serviced in any way.

They confuse rustic with dirty and poor workmanship, wiring hanging from walls everywhere. It is in no way worthy of your name.

Baie rustig en mooi.

Die kothuis is gerieflik en mens het niks meer nodig nie. Die inry van Witkruis is moeilik om met 'n kar te ry en ek het eerder onder die oprit parkeer. Daar is nie sout en peper nie, al word dit in die leêr genoem. Die kothuis kan doen met nuwe beddegoed. Ons het baie lekker ontspan.

Peaceful and beautiful.

Convenient cottage and you need nothing more. The driveway was difficult driving so I rather parked my car at the bottom of the driveway. No salt and pepper, although it was mentioned in the folder. New linen would be nice. We had a relaxing time.

Lekker rustig, perfekte plek vir 'n wegbreeknaweek.

Rustigheid. Perfek vir 'n wegbreeknaweek. Afgesluit van die besige stadslewe. Baie privaat, baie mooi.

A perfect get-away from the city and media.

Enjoyed a wonderful weekend away to recharge. A peaceful, tranquil stay in the wilderness, surrounded by mountains. Stargazing in the still of the night - an awesome experience.

Value for money in a rustic nature environment.

From booking to departing we had a super time, even with the average temperature being 37 degrees, which we mitigated through cold drinks, ice and watermelon. We stayed in Witkruis which was good enough for us, the shower and gas appliances working well and a bonus, which the other cottages do not offer, a stunning all round view of the mountain ranges. The access road, a single lane, is in good condition with laybys to let other vehicles pass. Being the festive period shopping in Robertson was an experience (read nightmare). The hike to the waterfall is a must and 40% of the trail is under shady trees. There is no mobile phone connection to lead you into temptation of sitting on your device all day, instead of enjoying nature and quiet. We are going back soon and will take family and friends to the Homestead. Thank you to Johan and Marie for providing and maintaining such an escape venue.

Waarde vir geld in 'n ongekunstelde natuurlike omgewing.

Vanaf ons bespreking tot ons vertrek het ons 'n uitstekende tydjie gehad, selfs met die gemiddelde temperatuur wat 37° was. Ons het darem oorleef met koeldrank, ys en waatlemoen. Ons het in Witkruis gebly, wat goed genoeg vir ons was, die stort en gastoestelle werk goed en 'n bonus, wat die ander kothuise nie het nie, is die asemrowende alom-uitsig oor die bergreekse. Die toegangspad, 'n enkelpad, is in 'n goeie toestand met aftrekplekke om ander voertuie verby te laat gaan. Aangesien dit die feesseisoen was, was inkopies in Robertson nogal 'n ervaring (lees nagmerrie). Die hike na die waterval is 'n moet en 40% van die roete is onder skadubome deur. Daar is nie selfoonsein nie, so jy kan nie heeldag vasgegom aan jou skerm sit nie, en net die natuur en stilte eerder geniet. Ons gaan binnekort teruggaan en sal vriende en familie na die Homestead neem. Dankie aan Johan en Marie vir die pragtige wegbreek-venue wat hulle voorsien en in stand hou.

Rustig

Alles heerlik in die bos en lekker rustig, maar die Baboon Cottage is verseker nie ingerig vir 4 grootmense soos dit adverteer is nie! Daar was baie min water toe ons daar was, so geen swemgeriewe.

Peaceful.

Everything was lovely in the bush and nice and peaceful, but the Baboon Cottage is definitely not equipped for 4 adults as advertised! There was little water when we were there, so we weren't able to swim.

Rustigheid vir die siel

As jy verlang na die ou plaas se rustigheid is hierdie jou plek, dit is te sê as jy heeldag op jou stoep wil sit. Kan aandag gegee word aan die skoonmaak van die kombuis area. Die mountain pool is toegegroei en die waterblommetjies het behoorlik die dam oor geneem. Die wandelroetes nie duidelik gemerk waar dit begin nie en is ook baie toegegroei.

Peace for the soul

If you miss the peace and quiet of the old farm house then this place is made for you, if you just want to chill on the patio the entire day. The kitchen area can do with a good spring cleaning. The mountain pool is overgrown and the dam has been taken over by the waterblommetjies. The walking trails aren't indicated clearly at the start and is also overgrown.

Die rustigheid en privaatheid was onbeskryflik lekker!

Die rustigheid in die natuur tussen die berge was wonderlik maar die kothuise en omgewing het duidelik lanklaas aandag geniet. Die yskas was buite werking, die warmwater verhitting werk net nou en dan, en die wasbak se kraan het aanhoudend gelek. Die "rock pool" lyk soos iets uit 'n gruwel film, die dam is toegegroei met waterblommetjies en die kano lek. Die voetslaan pad sal jy net kan aandurf met 'n panga en 'n byl. Die foto's wat as advertensie gebruik word is baie misleidend want dis glad nie hoe dit nou daar lyk nie. Met net 'n bietjie werk en aandag kan Buitenste Kloof kothuise 'n fantastiese bestemming wees en ek sal self ook weer daar gaan kuier.

The peace and quiet and privacy is indescribable.

The tranquility of nature between the mountains is wonderful, but the cottages and the surroundings haven't had any attention in a while. The fridge was out of order, the hot water only works now and then and the sink's tap leaked continuously. The rock pool looks like something out of a horror film and the dam is completely taken over by pondweed and the cano is leaking. You will only be able to take on the walking trail if you have a panga and an axe. The photos in the advertisement is very misleading, because it is not what it looks like now at all. With a little work and attention, the Buitenstekloof Cottages will be a fantastic destination and I will definitely want to go back for a visit.
