Dit was 'n onvergeetlike paar dae in 'n prentjie mooi plek.

Kan nie dink dat daar sulke asemrowende mooi plekke bestaan nie. Die eenheid het alles wat mens kan nodig kry en nog meer. Geen foto kan mens wys hoe mooi die uitsig werklik is nie. Van ons aankoms is ons op die hande gedra en almal is so behulpsaam en vriendelik. Met mense wat elke dag inkom en skoonmaak kan mens werklik rus en geniet wat daar alles is om te doen. Daar is hout en ys beskikbaar, so dis nog minder goed om oor bekommerd te wees.

It was an unforgettable few days in a picture-perfect place.

Can't imagine that such breathtakingly beautiful places exist. The unit has everything one could need and more. No photo can show how beautiful the view really is. From our arrival we were taken care of and everyone is so helpful and friendly. With people coming in and cleaning every day you can really relax and enjoy what there is to do. There's wood and ice available, so that's even less good to worry about.

Jozini-meer op sy mooiste.

Asemrowende uitsig, stilte, pragtige tuine, bospaadjie na die jetty, hulpvaardige Tsepo op die boot. Dit was alles onverbeterlik en regtig die effense off the beaten track werd.

Lake Jozini at its most beautiful.

Breathtaking view, silence, beautiful gardens, forest path to the jetty, helpful Tsepo on the boat. It was all unbeatable and really worth the slightly off the beaten track.

Altyd die aantrekking om weer terug te gaan.

My tweede keer by Cycad. Vrede, vriendelikheid en invloed om te besef jy is nou met vakansie. Atmosfeer wat geskep word is "om weer terug te gaan". Ek beveel dit ten sterkste aan om daar te stop en te oornag, maak nie saak of jy op pad is na Kosibaai of Mosambiek, gun jouself 'n "pitstop".

Always the attraction to go back again.

My second time at Cycad. Peace, friendliness and influence to realize you are now on holiday. Atmosphere created is "to go back again". I highly recommend stopping there and staying the night, no matter if you are heading to Kosiba or Mozambique, treat yourself to a "pit stop".

Beeldskone natuur. Die silwerskoon water waar jy die visse kan sien. Ons het die wonderlikste diens ontvang met aankoms, asook regdeur ons verblyf was die diens en atmosfeer wonderlik en wou ons nog langer bly. Die bootritte was ook onvergeetlik en wonderlik.

Hierdie is 'n besonderse plek om te gaan rus. In die bos tog langs die water. Niemand pla nie. Alles wat jy nodig het is daar. David en Bianca is "awesome". Laat 'n mens welkom voel vanaf jy arriveer tot ons moes huistoe gaan. As jy wil Tiervisvang is dit die plek.

Ongelooflik!

Wat ‘n ongelooflike plek, ons het ons kuier baie geniet. Die diens is fantasties. David die eienaar het goed na ons omgesien, hulle maak seker dat jy alles het wat jy benodig. Die vuur was elke dag gepak, hulle het vir ons ys voorsien. Die huisie was mooi en baie skoon, hulle is ook goed toegerus met al jou visvang benodigdhede. Ek sal die plek vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

'n Onvergeetlike ervaring by 'n ongelooflike "setting".

Ons het 'n fantastiese naweek in hierdie stukkie paradys gehad. Die ligging en uitsigte is onverbeterlik. Vriendelike en baie ontspanne gasheer en -vrou plus baie vriendelike personeel maak dit 'n besonderse lekker plek om te gaan ontspan. Bonus is dat daar genoeg ys en hout is plus die vlot\boot vir 'n vaart op die dam gekombineerd met tiervisvang maak dit nog beter. Pad is 'n uitdaging, maar voeg tot die avontuur by.

We had a fantastic weekend in this piece of paradise. The location and views are unbeatable. Friendly and very relaxed host and wife plus very friendly staff make it a particularly nice place to go and relax. Bonus is that there is enough ice and wood plus the raft\boat for a cruise on the dam combined with tiger fishing makes it even better. Road is a challenge but adds to the adventure.

Was 'n baie lekker wegbreek. David het uit sy pad uit gegaan om ons te ontvang. Die bootrit was baie mooi. Sal dit voorstel vir enige iemand wat wil weg kom uit die stad se geraas en die natuur skoon geniet. Die huisie waar ons gebly het was netjies en goed toegerus.

Baie nice plek. Ver te duur vir wat mens kry. Kamers mooi geleë maar swak toegerus. Ou beddegoed ens.

Cycad Rock is op 'n pragtige plek geleë. Dis baie jammer dat dit te duur is. R1200 vir 2 per dag. Ongelukkig moet mens dit opweeg teen wat jy daarvoor kry. Net 'n mooi kothuis op 'n mooi plekkie en 'n amazing uitsig, maar die plekkie is swak toegerus - een handdoek, geen kaste in kamers nie en baie ou beddegoed. Die eienaar is 'n baie nice, gawe, vriendelike persoon. Kan amazing wees.

Cycad Rock is located in a beautiful location. It's a shame that it's too expensive. R1200 for 2 per day. Unfortunately, you have to weigh that against what you get for it. Just a nice cottage in a nice place and an amazing view, but the place is poorly equipped - one towel, no wardrobes in rooms and very old bedding. The owner is a very nice, kind, friendly person. Could be amazing.
