Cheval Vapeur

Amazing.

It was very peaceful. Thank you to the host as well for accommodating us. Definitely will be back.

Pleasant.

The stay was pleasant and exciting with all amenities found.

Perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle.

Enjoyed the tranquil environment.

Love this place, will definitely come again.

The only problem was the room was not cleaned. But the staff fixed it really quickly with the best, friendly service.

The horses as a morning view was the best part of our stay.

When we arrived the cabin we booked had been given to other people, however, after the wait, Thumeka made arrangements for an alternative place that was well-equipped and she was available for any queries we had. Thank you Thumeka and Eric for making our stay great.

Fantastiese wegbreek van die stadslewe en geraas.

Laaste kuier op Chavel Vapeur was soveel keer beter en relaxing as die eerste paar keer.

Ek sal die gastehuis beslis nie aanbeveel nie.

Alhoewel die ontvangsdame baie vriendelik en behulpsaam was, was die kamers in 'n baie swak toestand. Ek verstaan dis 'n plaasatmosfeer, maar ek glo op webtuiste is duisende mense wat op plase woon, wie se huise nie vol vlieë is nie. Ons kon ook nie regtig slaap nie, want die gordyn maak nie die venster toe nie, so die lig skyn heeltemal deur van buite. Die badkamer, wat 'n paar chalets moet gebruik, is nie binne in chalets soos geadverteer word nie. Dit bring mee dat jy in die aand moet uitgaan om 'n toilet te besoek. Dis duidelik dat die eienaars nie belangstel om die chalets op te gradeer nie, terwyl dit eintlik 'n baie lekka blyplek kon wees.

Aaklig.

Die plek was vuil en die omgewing stink.

Tranquil, cosy and remote.

Got lost at first. But when arriving it was fun and cosy. The staff are amazing and the privacy is great.

Mind blowing!

This is the perfect place if you are stressed, depressed, overworked and anxious. It's relaxing and calming and helps you clear your mind.

My stay was great, I love the serenity and services.

Cheval Vapeur was a great getaway for myself and spouse, as we got married the Thursday night and chose Cheval Vapeur, because it suited our pockets as it was Affordable and good sevices was ended, I would recommend Cheval Vapeur to all my friends and families. Go well Cheval Vapeur.

There was no hot water in the shower, the bathrooms are a walking distance from the rooms.

The rooms are poorly maintained as a result one the windows next to the bed was not closed throughout the night.

Dit was baie rustig ek sal weer wil gaan, om elke oggend op te staan daar was 'n plesier.

My kinders het hulle geniet en foto's geneem op die perd. Ek het ook 'n klomp foto's geneem.

Gerieflik en gesellig.

Goeie diens en volkome bystans vanaf Eric en vrou. Ligging perfek en is 'n wegbreek van geraas van stad.

Goeie tyd gehad,.

Ek't betaal vir 14 mense, 1 moes weens gesondheid kanselleer. Van die 3 cabins, kon ons net 2 gebruik. Die 3de een was toegesluit, wat beteken 6 mense het nie slaapplek gehad nie, en moes die perseel verlaat en gaan slaapplek vind.

Baie lekker stil en rustig.

Rustige atmosfeer, geen geraas.

Pleasant, calm and quick getaway.

The pictures don’t do justice to the place and loved it all.

Moes ander akkomodasie soek.

Onveilig, plek val uitmekaar. Glad nie geskik om by oor te bly nie.

Lekker private rustige kuier.

Ek het die rustige plaasatmosfeer en vriendelike diens geniet.

Okay.

Needs a heater, it was very could.

Veilig en rustig.

Die kuier was baie lekker. Die dame en haar eggenoot wat ons ontvang het was baie professioneel en behulpsaam.

It was great to be there, environment is therapeutic.

Refreshing environment with kind and lovely staff.

Not friendly.

Initially things were fine, but throughout the stay I had trouble contacting my host, certain things I requested did not happen such as removing the rat from my room. I did not expect a 5-star stay, but certainly do expect customer service. Would not recommend based on customer service.

See below.

On arrival we felt so at home already. It is shocking how quiet this place is and thinking Vanguard is a stone throw away, crazy right! I cannot wait to visit again. Yes it's old, yes there are spiders and yes, it is a farm, don't judge a book by its cover. Thank you Thumeka and Eric for a wonderful experience we will see you soon.

Baie lekker.

Word aanbeveel vir 'n vrye tyd.

Baie vuil kamer, nie geweet ek kom nie.

Vir die prys moes ek seker geweet het dit gaan maar 'n slegte ervaring wees. Daar was ou bierbottels in die kamer, daar was ou roomys in die yskas, jammer maar mense kan nie daar woon nie, maak dit eerder R200 duurder en maak seker alles is ten minste skoon.

Had a great weekend.

Cheval Vapeur was a great place and had a great view with loads of open space. The people and staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we need. I even got to touch a horse for the first time. I can't wait for the next trip back and endless more bookings with Cheval. 100% safe and child friendly.

We enjoyed our stay at Cheval.

The location is convenient, not too far. It was okay staying in Johan. But next time I would stay in chalets of 400.

Good, but there is an issue of water and a toilet in the house.

It was good place, the issue of no water and a toilet in the house did not sit well with me.

Not pleasant at all.

The farm was hard to locate and was far from everything, full of spiders and had no hot water and the bathroom was 50 m away. No lights outside at night.

Rustig en vriendelik.

Ons was 10, maar hulle het uit hulle pad gegaan om vir ons plek te maak. Baie eenvoudig, maar skoon en vriendelike ontvangs. Ons sal definitief volgende jaar weer daar bespreek.

Everything was great, would recommend anyone.

Place was clean and was great.

Dié plek is nie soos adverteer word nie.

Dis onnet, onhigiënies, ongerieflik, onveilig en boonop alles behalwe soos dit voorgestel word op die foto's. Groot teleurstelling.

Rustigste twee dae in my lewe.

Ek het dit regtig baie geniet. Dis weg van alles, stil, netjies, alles wat 'n natuurliefhebber wil hê in 'n oord opgesom.

Dit was 'n interessante ervaring.

Dit was 'n interessante ervaring wat nie sommer vergeet sal word nie.

Awesome.

Only problem is that the bathroom is to far from the cottage to walk in the middle of the night but other then that is was freaking awesome.

Peaceful.

Had a peaceful night's sleep and the place is quiet. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

Disgusted.

Really disappointed. First got lost as the road only has one board by the main gate. Our car got stuck in the sand. As for the living ways: very unhygienic. Ablution points get padlocked at night making it very difficult to go to the loo at night with kids. Yes, you do get a key, but very frustrating trying to open a lock when a toddler has to go urgently. The place has flies all over. You cannot sleep during the day or make food at night as the flies are everywhere. The carpets in the cabin are so so dirty, your feet get black walking on it barefoot. Bathrooms are not kept clean even if they say they do. It's dusty, has spider webs and bad smell too. We came back more than a week earlier than booked and lost a week's paid accommodation. I couldn't anymore. To top it off even after using 2 cans of doom in 4 days and Toilet Duck every time I went to the loo, it was still unhygienic. I do not know how in the world this place can advertise itself even after all the bad reviews. Will not refer anyone to this place ever.

Baie rustig en gemaklik.

Ek was eers vol twyfel omdat dit moeilik was om die plek te kry. GPS het ons gelei na die asgate en 'n persoon daar het gesê dat ons die 4de motor was wat daar na die plek kom soek het. Eers daar gekom, het ons heerlik gekuier en was vriendelik ontvang. Die personeel is baie behulpsaam. Ek sal weer daar gaan slaap. Absoluut uitstekende waarde vir geld.

Uiters teleurstellend.

Verblyf lyk glad nie soos foto's op website nie. Baie, baie misleidend. Wendyhuis se sinkplate op dak was los en het heelnag opgelig soos die wind gewaai het, het niks geslaap nie. Tuinmeubels buite by braai-area was vuil en stoele verrot mens kon nie daarop sit nie dit sal breek.

Baie rustige plekkie en laat die mense jou baie welkom voel, baie bedagsaam. Regtig waarde vir geld en voel baie veilig.

Almal is baie bedagsaam en baie behulpsaam. Ons voel baie veilig en vriende wat kuier geniet dit net so baie. 'n Baie rustige plekkie om net weg te kom van jou alledaagse lewe en sal enige tyd weer kuier. Dit is regtig waarde vir geld en is dit ideaal vir kinders ook.

Very nice farm experience.

I'd recommend Cheval Vapeur. I love the ranch theme. John and Colleen are very warm and welcoming. Excellent hospitality. Will definitely be back soon.

Interesting farm experience.

Definitely an interesting experience, guests coming here should not expect luxury. If you are up for a raw experience of farm-life, this is the place to come, price matches the accommodation offered.

Ongelooflik sleg.

Dis 'n skewe shack sonder water. Daar is 'n stort en toilet 'n paar honderd meter verder.

Value for money, rustic, getaway.

John and Colleen were extremely friendly and welcoming. The farm is a rustic, down-to-earth, value for money experience for those who love horses and nature. We enjoyed our experience and would recommend this venue highly! The horses were so wonderful to be around and the timber cottage was a delight with all our needs met: toaster, kettle, oven and even amazing art. Will definitely be back!

Heerlik rustig om weer jou siel te vind.

Baie dankie. Dit het my goed gedoen om in die natuur en tussen die perde te wees. John was binne minute daar om te help toe ek oor iets geskakel het. Ek beplan beslis om weer soontoe te gaan.

Absolute teleurstelling.

Foto's op webtuiste en wat werklik daar is, is baie bedrieglik, sal dit vir niemand aanbeveel nie.

Excellent!

The owners are wonderful. Loving and warm. They cared for my son and I. Taught us a lot about horses. My son even did some horse riding.

A lovely farmstyle adventure.

I loved the place! This is not for snooty city types that want to watch TV etc. But if you love the outdoors this is most pleasant.

An interesting experience.

Cheval Vapeur has the potential to be a great destination. Chalets nestled midst a working horse farm, with beautiful sunsets while we enjoyed our braai. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Driving out to various destinations and back from different directions was a bit of a challenge.

Uiters swak en teleurstellend. Verdien geen sterre net minuse!

Pasop. Absolute wanvoorstelling op advertensie. Swak, vuil, "horders" nes.

Ek is baie vertroud met plase maar het nog nooit soveel vlieë beleef nie.

Vlieë en ablusiegeriewe baie, baie onsmaakllik. En laat instansie na elektriese installasies omsien.

Wat 'n teleurstelling!

Dit was n aaklige ondervinding. Ons sal nooit in my lewe weer daarheen gaan nie. Die plek is in die informele nedersetting geleë, met 'n vreeslike reuk. Afgeskeep en nie versorg nie, vaal en nie gaste vriendelik nie. Glad nie in die toestand van haar foto's nie. Baie teleurgesteld!

Gemaklik en rustig.

Rustig en stil met 'n mooi uitsig op Tafelberg. Dit was ook netjies en skoon.

Plattelandse aardsheid en "rustic".

Sal nie in almal se smaak val nie, maar teen dié tariewe is dit heel gemaklik. Klein houthuisies met buite ablusiegeriewe was nogal 'n belewenis! My vrou en ek het in die woonstelle gebly en het die antieke meubels baie waardeer. Die hele opset is funksioneel en goed geskik vir 'n paar aande se oorslaap en gebruik as basis om die area te verken.

Besonders aangenaam.

Onmiddellik tuis en gemaklik gevoel.

Glad nie soos verwag nie.

Dit was 'n ou Wendy-huis, wat voel of hy insak na die kant toe as jy in hom loop. Die aande was baie onrustig met karre wat jaag. Mevrou muis het in die kombuis vir ons gewag. Daar was rommel op die terrein. Sigaretstompies was in die toilette. Maar wat verwag jy vir R100 per persoon. Die eienaars is wel vriendelik, en hulpvaardig.

Gevoel van kamp met styl.

Die huisie is klein, maar toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het as mens sou kamp. Dit is netjies en het genoeg plek om buite te kan sit of om rond te loop. Die kinders het dit baie geniet om tussen die perde te wees, hulle kon hulle voer en kon elke dag ingeloer het by hulle gunstelinge. Die toilet en stort huisie was netjies en is privaat, mens hoef dit nie met 'n klomp vreemde mense te deel nie. As jy van perde hou, is dit die plek om by te gaan bly. Ons het baie veilig gevoel en het dit regtig baie geniet.

Verblyf was baie lekker en die natuur baie mooi.

Sal dit aanbeveel by almal wat hou van stilte en die natuur. Eie vervoer belangrik. Stil en rustig. Vriendelike mense.

Great experience!

Great experience! Thank you.
