Rus en vrede in die pragtige sederberge.

Die verblyf by De Pakhuys is geleƫ in pragtige natuur, skoon, die huisie is goed toegerus, privaat en het ook 'n woodfired hottub. Ons het heerlik daar gebly.

Ongekende vrede.

Die grootsheid van die omringende berge was kos vir die siel. Die voorstelling van aktiwiteite soos uitgesit vir drie dae (vier nagte) was perfek.

Unprecedented peace.

The grandeur of the surrounding mountains was food for the soul. The representation of activities as laid out for three days (four nights) was perfect.

Comfortable and relaxing.

We stayed in Olienhuis, which was lovely. The view from the stoep is beautiful, and there was an amazing variety of birds. The house was tastefully furnished, and the beds were comfortable. We will be back, but this time for 2 nights.

Relaxing.

The location was fantastic. The cottage was okay. I did not realise it would be attached to a home which was occupied by a family. There was quite a lot of noise. There was no TV, and it would have been nice to have at least enough wood for a fire when you arrive.

Baie lekker stil wegbreek met 'n salige hot tub.

Ons het dit baie geniet. De Pakhuys was goed toegerus met 'n groot gasstoof, braaigeriewe, lekker gemakstoele en daai heerlike KolKol hot tub. Pasop net, twee pakkies hout maak dit heeltemal te warm, ons moes koue water gooi. Die rotstekeninge roete by die plaas daarnaby was ook baie mooi.

Very nice quiet getaway with a blissful hot tub.

We enjoyed it very much. De Pakhuys was well equipped with a large gas stove, braai facilities, nice easy chairs and that delicious KolKol hot tub. Just be careful, two packs of wood make it way too hot, we had to pour cold water. The petroglyph trail at the farm nearby was also very beautiful.

Pleasant stay close to nearby attractions but particular room a bit overpriced.

Recommendation would depend on a friend's need. Our room was adequate for our needs, but the shower was not cleaned after previous occupants and some things such as the sink and taps are in need of an upgrade. Bed linen was clean and the bed was comfortable, though. Outside braai has a stunning setting and view.

We love the Cederberg where we can find peace with such natural beauty day/night.

I love Bokmakirie cottage. It is beautifully situated with wonderful surroundings and peace and quiet, but the cottage needs better cleaning and certainly some renovations are required. The shower basin needs to urgently be repaired. But overall, our 2-night stay was wonderful.

Asemrowende natuur, luukse tent en privaat.

De Pakhuys (Kuru tent) waar ons tuis gegaan het was baie goed ingerig tussen pragtige rotsformasies en baie privaat. Die personeel het ekstra moeite gedoen om ons te akkommodeer met buitengewone versoeke. Ons kom beslis weer. Die waterval was beslis 'n lekker uitstappie.

Pragtig.

Die area is pragtig. Die verblyf was stil en netjies, en die buitestort was 'n wenner. Wat ons wel beter sou verwag is. 1. Klein afrondings - die skoonmaakgoeters wat net so op die stoep gelos is, die stukkende vensterraam teen die klippe staangemaak en defekte ritssluiter op die tentpaneel. 2. Voorsorg vir loadshedding - kerse, gas/battery-lantern sou handig gewees het. 3. Beter aanduidings oor die afstand na die waterval - het amper in die laatmiddag probeer soontoe stap wat met die skrapse roete-aanwysings en naderende donkerte 'n fiasko sou gewees het.

Beautiful.

The area is beautiful. The accommodation was quiet and tidy, and the outdoor shower was a winner. What we would expect is better. 1. Small finishing touches - the cleaning stuff left on the porch just like that, the broken window frame propped up against the stones and defective zipper on the tent panel. 2. Precautions for loadshedding - candles, gas/battery lantern would have been handy. 3. Better indications about the distance to the waterfall - almost tried to walk there in the late afternoon which with the sketchy route indications and approaching darkness would have been a fiasco.

Eenheid kort heelwat onderhoud.

Bad se prop seƫl nie - water loop aanhoudend uit. Stort dreineer nie effektief nie - water dam op, staan naderhand in poel water wat dan later afloop oor plaveisel. Kombuiseetgerei en borde nie op standaard nie. Verskeie gebreekte teƫls om eenheid. Oud, afgeleefde en vuil kussings op stoele. Afdak op riete by stort verweer. Kombuisvensters vuil.

Glad nie beĆÆndruk met die verblyf nie.

Arriveer daar om orals te sien jy moet self skoonmaak en jou vuilgoed saam met jou neem anders word jy beboet. Jy moet sorg dat alle skottelgoed gewas en weggepak word anders word jy beboet. Om die minste te sĆŖ, ek het in al my baie jare van reis nog nooit so iets teĆ«gekom nie. Ek moes met die vuilgoedsak na my volgende bestemming reis.

Arrive there to see everywhere you have to clean yourself and take your rubbish with you or you will be fined. You must ensure that all dishes are washed and packed away otherwise you will be fined. To say the least, in all my many years of traveling I have never encountered anything like it. I had to travel with the garbage bag to my next destination.

Beste oorslaapplek in Sederberge.

Ons is spyt ons het nie nog 'n nag oorgeslaap nie. Plek is ongelooflik. Tussen olyfboorde op 'n plaas. Die plek is netjies skoon en modern. Ruim genoeg. Die Grasdak en seile gee die plek ook 'n goeie atmosfeer. Dit is baie stil en geen geraas. Plek is goed toegerus om kos te maak. Perfekte plek om te gaan rus.

Ideale wegbreek as mens wil wegkom van die gejaagde lewe.

Ons het die stilte baie geniet. Die fasiliteite is baie netjies en goed ingerig. Ons het een staproete op die plaas gedoen en dit was beslis die moeite werd. Enigste negatiewe punte wat ek kan noem is die katte wat heeltyd by die huisie is, inkom en vir kos bedel. Verder het ons nie warm water gehad nie en alhoewel ek die foutiewe gas geyser aangemeld het, was daar geen optrede of terugrapportering oor die kwessie nie.

Ideal getaway if you want to get away from the hectic life.

We really enjoyed the silence. The facilities are very neat and well appointed. We did one hiking trail on the farm and it was definitely worth it. Only negative points I can mention are the cats that are always at the cottage, come in and beg for food. Furthermore, we had no hot water and although I reported the faulty gas geyser, there was no action or feedback on the issue.

Wonderlike wegbreek, heerlik gerus.

Ligging is prentjie mooi, Sederberge is spesiaal. Net twee klein dinge, ons stort het nie 'n deur gehad nie en ons was baie bekommerd oor die houtvloere. Daar is geen skoonmaakdienste nie, byvoorbeeld jou braai en kaggel word nie skoon gemaak nie, dis moelik om dit self te doen want daar is nerens om dit weg te gooi nie. Jou vullis moet jy saam met jou neem. Die kaggel en verwarmer is lekker veral vir die winter. Sal beslis aanbeveel.

Location is picture perfect, Sederberge is special. Just two small things, our shower didn't have a door and we were very concerned about the wooden floors. There are no cleaning services, for example your braai and fireplace are not cleaned, it is difficult to do it yourself because there is nowhere to throw it away. You must take your rubbish with you. The fireplace and heater are nice especially for the winter. Would definitely recommend.

Cederberge ja, maar nie vir 'n familiewegbreek nie. Meer gemik op die tipiese kliƫnt wat in die kampeerterein bly - ernsitige rotsklimmers!

Vooraf Whatsapp gekry oor reĆ«lings as ons arriveer. Tog wou ons graag uitvra oor die area, maar daar was geen personeel die hele naweek te siene nie. Het ook nie op Whatsapp-boodskappe reageer om uit te vra oor staproetes in die area nie. Die Blokhuys was skoon, maar badkamer (toilet) het skoonmaak nodig gehad. Daar is nie vooraf vir ons gesĆŖ ons moet ons vullis self verwyder as ons gaan nie en as ons dit daar los moet ons 'n fooi van R200 betaal. Ook as ons enige skottelgoed los om gewas te word. Dit kon miskien vooraf gekommunikeer geword het. Die kontakpersoon by die kampeerterrein wat ons uiteindelik gekry het om vir ons die kloofroete aan te dui het, het ons halfhartig met sy toon in die sand die roete verduidelik. Die roete was oorgroei en laaste deel nie aangedui nie, want blykbaar het sy verf opgeraak toe hy die roete merk. Dit het veroorsaak dat ons met kinders ons eie roete uit die kloof moes kry wat op stadiums baie gevaarlik was. Wat aangedui word in hulle boek as 'n 2 uur-stap het in 'n 4 uur-stap ontaard a.g.v. die kwaliteit en swak aanduiding van die roete. Sou dit glad nie vir families aanbeveel nie.

Cederberge yes, but not for a family break. Aimed more at the typical customer staying in the campsite - serious rock climbers!

Whatsapped in advance about arrangements when we arrive. Still, we wanted to inquire about the area, but there were no staff to be seen all weekend. Also did not respond to Whatsapp messages asking about hiking trails in the area. The Log Cabin was clean, but bathroom (toilet) needed cleaning. We were not told in advance that we had to remove our rubbish ourselves when we left and if we left it there we had to pay a fee of R200. Also if we leave any dishes to be washed. Perhaps it could have been communicated beforehand. The contact person at the campsite who we finally got to point us to the gorge route half-heartedly explained the route to us with his toe in the sand. The trail was overgrown and the last part was not marked because apparently he ran out of paint when he marked the trail. This caused us with children to find our own route out of the gorge which was very dangerous at stages. What is indicated in their book as a 2 hour walk turned into a 4 hour walk due to the quality and poor indication of the route. Would not recommend for families at all.

Heerlik ontspan!

Huisies is baie goed ingerig, als wat ons nodig gehad het. De Pakhuys was ons laaste stop na 'n week van kamp in die Kgalagadi en dit was so lekker om in 'n sagte bed te slaap met vars handdoeke en die warmkombers was 'n heerlike bederf. Ons het alreeds ons volgende trip terug De Pakhuys toe beplan! Sien jul gou weer!

Absoluut 'n belewenis. Lieflike huisie met alles wat nodig is. Bokmakierie is tussen reuse klip en rotse. Pragtige uitsig. Jacuzzi was 'n bonus met net so 'n mooi uitsig. Staproete is beslis 'n moet! Teerpad tot by die plaashek. Ideaal vir mense wat Cederberg wil beleef sonder om grondpad te ry.

Oorgebly in Schaapkraal tent/kothuis. Pragtige eenheid. Buitebraai, en met die koue front, het ons alles gehad wat nodig was- kaggel, lugversorger, verwarmer en elektriese komberse. Groot bed, pragtige badkamer en goed ingerigte kombuis. Gaan defnitief weer terugkom in die somer. Baie staproetes, bergklim, natuurskoon, swem in plaasdam, privaatheid.

Swembad, dam, waterval, berge, bome - pure genot.

Fantastiese wegbreek met net die regte balans van rus tot meer as genoeg om te doen. Die hike tot by die waterval was wonderlik, die natuur en berge het ons weggevoer van alle ander dinge op aarde. Dis waarlik pragtig. Lafenis was verkry in die dam waar kinders heerlik kon baljaar. Die swembad onder die mooie groen bome het ons keer op keer verwelkom. Kwaliteittyd saam met gesin en brakkie-lief in 'n verskriklike groot en ruim huisie met kaggel wat wink vir 'n winterkuiertjie ook. Sien jul vir seker gou weer.

Fantastic getaway with just the right balance of rest to more than enough to do. The hike to the waterfall was wonderful, the nature and mountains took us away from all other things on earth. It's truly beautiful. Lafenis was found in the pond where children could have fun. The pool under the beautiful green trees welcomed us again and again. Quality time with family and brakkie lover in a terribly large and spacious house with a fireplace that beckons for a winter visit as well. See you again soon for sure.

Weereens 'n heerlike verblyf op De Pakhuys.

Dit bly altyd lekker om hier te kuier. Hierdie was my derde verblyf. Die omgewing is asemrowend en die ligging ideaal om 'n groot deel van die sitrusomgewing asook die Weskus te besoek. Die huis was baie ruim met 'n heerlike kuierstoep en braai. Die ontvangs was vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Thys, baie dankie dat jy dit wat jy het, deel met die publiek. De Pakhuys bied altyd iets nuuts om te ontdek. Die stap op die plaas bring om elke hoek 'n nuwe ontdekking. De Pakhuys sien ons beslis weer!

Ons eie plekkie in die bos.

Ons gaan jaarliks weg vir ons beplanning vir die jaar. Ons het 'n plekkie gesoek waar ons stil kon wees. Hierdie plek was perfek. Die naaste bure is meer as 100m weg. Dit het letterlik gevoel of ons alleen in die bos was en ons kon goed fokus. Baie dankie.

We go away annually for our planning for the year. We looked for a place where we could be quiet. This place was perfect. The nearest neighbors are more than 100m away. It literally felt like we were alone in the woods and we could focus well. Thank you very much.

Wonderlike natuurskoon.

Ons het twee nagte in Kleine School1 gebly, dus nie op die plaas. Die grootpad loop agter die huisie verby, maar dis maklik om daarvan te vergeet op die braaistoep aan die agterkant, met uitsig op die manjifieke berg. Verblyf is nie luuks, maar alles was baie skoon en ons het niks kortgekom. Dit was koud en ons het die lekker warm beddegoed en 'n verwarmer waardeer. Die twee slaapkamers is klein, met geen kaste. As jy nie omgee om uit jou sak te leef is dit ook gou vergete. Ons hondekind kon ook saamgaan, dus was het ons bly vir die omheining om die groot erf. Met 'n ompaadjie voor om kan jy berg toe stap of tussen die fynbos en paadjies rondstap, waar ons hondekind kon bokspring van vreugde. Na twee dae het ons tuis gevoel op die vriendelike erf sou graag bietjie langer wou bly. Daar is baie om te sien en beleef.

Wonderful scenery.

We stayed two nights in Kleine School1, so not on the farm. The main road passes behind the house, but it's easy to forget about it on the barbecue patio at the back, with a view of the magnificent mountain. Accommodation is not luxurious, but everything was very clean and we lacked nothing. It was cold and we appreciated the nice warm bedding and a heater. The two bedrooms are small, with no wardrobes. If you don't mind living out of your pocket, this is also soon forgotten. Our dog could also go with us, so we were happy for the fence around the large yard. With a detour in front you can walk to the mountain or walk around between the fynbos and paths, where our dog could jump for joy. After two days we felt at home on the friendly farm and would have liked to stay a little longer. There is a lot to see and experience.

Wonderlike tyd saam met my meisie.

Die plek was ongelooflik en kalmeer ā€˜n mens se siel. Ek en my meisie het wel ā€˜n cabin gehuur en dit was great - totdat mense besluit het om hul tent op te stel reg langsaan (eintlik teen aan) ons blyplek, al is daar hoeveel hektaar grond waar mens kan gaan kamp. Een van die meisies het die oggend na ons toe gekom en gesĆŖ ons moes sagter wees wat nogal baie entertaining was, want ons het die plek gehuur en kan nie skuif nie. Dit het baie gereĆ«n so ons was maar binne en het vir ons nuwe bure ā€˜n nice performance gegee met ā€˜n nuwe song gemaak uit krukke en potte. Dit het nie ons verblyf gespoil nie though, want die hele ervaring was ongelooflik. Diens is uitstekend: Ons moes ā€˜n oproep gemaak (geen Vodacom sein) het en een van die besitters van De Pakhuys het my sommer uitgehelp al was dit na werksure. Baie dankie vir als en ons sal definitief weer kom kuier.

Wonderful time with my girlfriend.

The place was incredible and calms one's soul. My girlfriend and I did rent a cabin and it was great - until people decided to set up their tent right next to (actually against) our place of residence, even though there are how many hectares of land where you can camp. One of the girls came up to us in the morning and told us to be gentler which was quite entertaining as we rented the place and couldn't move. It rained a lot so we stayed inside and gave our new neighbors a nice performance with a new song made from crutches and pots. It didn't spoil our stay though, because the whole experience was amazing. Service is excellent: We had to make a call (no Vodacom signal) and one of the owners of De Pakhuys helped me out even though it was after working hours. Thank you very much for everything and we will definitely visit again.

Very basic campsite - would recommend as single night stopover only.

It is a campsite set up for rock climbers from all over the world, and is fit for purpose as a base from which to rock climb. Cabins right on top of each other- we could literally hear the people next door chatting softly to each other. One of us is a snorer - kept the other cabins awake. One of the other cabins had small children who were in our campsite as much as their own. No locks on doors, not even on two of the ladies toilets. No toilet paper. No taps near the cabins - had to get water from the ablutions. No views from cabin except back of another cabin. Really noisy on Saturday night- people partying all over the place. Take ear plugs and water. But nice braai, clean accommodation, beautiful area, lovely dogs, great walks, awesome flowers, very amusing weaver birds, and apparently - Brilliant rock climbing.

De Pakhuys 's response

Dear Marianne,
Thank you for the review.
You chose the basic budget option, which is the campsite cabins. We do offer wonderful private accommodation with all the luxury you can think off and we suggest you consider booking one of those next time. We checked the ladies and the toilets do lock, I am not sure what you are referring to. None of the cabins looks onto each other, again not sure what you are referring to. We do not supply toilet paper which is clearly stated on our website. The cabins have a freshwater tap right in front of it, maybe you just missed it. We have a strict no music policy after 21:00. Unfortunately, some people do not always respect rules and they need to be reported on which we always act immediately. I am glad you enjoyed the wonderful nature, the walks and the Cederberg rock.

Beautiful and peaceful. The cottage was roomy and fully equipped.

We really enjoyed the stay. Bergvlei Cottage was convenient and comfortable. It had everything necessary, one only has to bring food and clothes (and wood or charcoal, although that is available at the reception). The night sky was phenomenal since there is almost no light pollution and it was a new moon. One can choose to spend time at the Pakhuys and hike in the area or go further afield. It is a nice base for northern Cederberg outings.

Eenvoudige huisies, maar skoon en netjies.

Vir die prys kry jy veilige en skoon akkommodasie in 'n "cabin" en moet alles verder saamneem. Jammer die wind het verskriklik gewaai toe ons daar was, maar daaraan kan die bestuur niks doen nie. Die fasiliteite is maar dieselfde as om te kamp, maar die bestuur was baie hulpvaardig.

Friendly people who can tell about the surroundings, neat, but the never-ending barking of four small dogs on the school house yard made the stay experience very uncomfortable.

Friendly people who can tell about the surroundings, neat, but the never-ending barking of four small dogs (apparently we were declared archenemy by the Jack Russell in charge) on the school house yard made the stay experience very uncomfortable. I trust the other accommodation on the farm will ensure a better experience. Without the dogs, Christmas time there would be perfect.

Beste Naomi

Dankie vir die terugvoer Naomi. Dit sou gaaf gewees het as jy die hondjie probleem dadelik onder my aandag gebring het, dan kon ek onmiddelik 'n plan maak en jy die Kersfees geniet het. Ek was ongelukkig onbewus daarvan. My bejaarde moeder, wat in die een kothuis agter woon, het die twee hondjies opgepas namens my suster van die Kaap, wat hul weens omstandigehede, nie kon saamneem nie. Dit was slegs vir 4 dae en ek glo die goedjies was nie gewoond aan ander mense nie en seker heel uit hul gemaksone. Jammer daaroor en ek sal nie weer toelaat dat hulle daar opgepas word nie.

Beste groete, Thys Kruger.

Very much disappointing.

Good place, good magnificent views, great kitchen but unfortunately no safety measures. Bushes surrounded chalet make it difficult to just leisure around. First encounter with dangerous spider (bobbejaanspinnekop) as we unpack when we arrived, couldn't open windows because of moths, mosquitoes, flies and other insects. 2 more dangerous spiders on departure. Maybe if they clear the area around the Blokhuys. I am a lover of nature but don't like to watch out for danger every minute of the day and especially at night. Wanted to visit the shop but it was closed due to some reason. I never saw, let alone met Thys, some kind of welcoming! So yes, never again, although I will recommend it to others cause they might feel not feel the same as I.

De Pakhuys 's response

Dear Patricia,
I am glad you enjoyed the view and the cottage, sorry to hear that a spider made your stay miserable. Our cottages are situated in the Cederberg wilderness and chances are good that you will encounter an insect or two during your stay, most of which are not life threatening at all. We do supply a can of bug spray in the kitchen cupboard. The shop to which you refer must be the seasonal campsite office, open every year from May to September. I am sorry we did not get to meet, I took a break to Jeffreysbay for that particular week. My son, Michal, was on the farm the entire time and I am sure he looked after you well. Hope to welcome you back soon!

Glad nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Volgens ons bespreking moes ons by Witkruis gebly het. Ons was by Bokmakierie ingeboek. Met aankoms was die krag nog nie aan by die eenheid nie so die yskas was nie koud nie. Was omtrent eers die volgende oggend koud. Daar was geen ekstra komberse in die eenheid nie. Daar is nie deurgegee dat daar nie selfoonopvangs is nie. Eers as jy by die eenheid kom vind jy dit uit. Ook nie toegang tot die WiFi nie, ons is te ver van die kantoor af. Ons stort se mixer kraan het nie gewerk nie. As jy hom op mediumhitte sit, sit die gas geyser af so jy stort of brand warm water of yskoue water. Gasstoof sonder enige vuurhoudjies of lighter in die eenheid. Ons verblyf was regtig nie aangenaam nie. Al wat ons verblyfbespreking deurgegee is, geen kinders toegelaat. Niks anders. Eers in die blyplek word inligting deurgegee dat daar nie selfoonopvangs ens. is nie.

Not at all what we expected.

According to our booking we should have stayed at Witkruis. We were booked into Bokmakierie. Upon arrival the power was not on at the unit so the fridge was not cold. Wasn't cold until the next morning. There were no extra blankets in the unit. It was not communicated that there is no mobile reception. You only find out when you get to the unit. Also no access to the WiFi, we are too far from the office. Our shower's mixer tap didn't work. If you put it on medium heat, the gas geyser turns off so you shower or burn hot water or ice cold water. Gas stove without any matches or lighter in the unit. Our stay was really not pleasant. All our accommodation booking was passed on, no children allowed. Nothing else. Only in the place of residence is information passed on that there are no cell phone receptions etc. is not.

Beste Lorina,

Ek is jammer en verbaas om te hoor dat jy die een aand se verblyf nie so aangenaam gevind het nie.

Die biedouin eenhede is, soos aangedui met bespreking, 'n "glaming" ondervinding. Die cabins is nie so luuks soos die ander eenhede wat ons aanbied nie, daarom betaal jy ook aansienlik minder. Hulle is spesifiek eenkant, privaat en in die natuur - baie mense verkies dit om soms net weg te breek van die moderne wĆŖreld af en net te sit en tuur oor die ongelooflike natuurskoon om hierdie eenhede!

Die geyser is op gas en ons het wel 'n gedetaileerde verduideliking op die koffietafel oor hoe jy moet maak om hom effektief te gebruik - miskien het jy dit net gemis. Ek sal seker maak dat dit meer opsigtelik is.

Jammer oor die yskas, die skoonmaak personeel moes dit afgeskakel het om skoon te kan maak.

Ons het wel selfoon opvangs op die plaas en Wi-Fi is beskikbaar by die swembad area, sowat so 300m van die eenhede waarin julle tuisgegaan het af.

Kom gerus terug, ontspan en spandeer 'n paar dae in hierdie wonderlike deel van ons skepping.

Groete,
De Pakhuys

Baie rustig.

Dit is lekker rustig en weg van die stad se woelinge maar dan moet jy in 'n groep gaan. Die rede hiervoor. Ons het in 'n mate onveilig en onrustig gewees weens die feit dat daar nie eens selfoonopvangs is nie. Wat doen jy in die geval van nood? Tweedens kon die cabins se deure nie van binne sluit nie. Hoe slaap jy met 'n oop deur? Met die gevolg het ons met die lig aangeslaap en dus teen 4 uur die oggend al opgepak en gery het. Ek voel die cabins moet ten minste van binne kan sluit.

Very relaxing.

It was so peaceful away from the city buzz but you have to go in a group. Reason: Felt a bit unsafe and jumpy because there isn't even cellphone reception. What if something happens? Secondly the cabin doors don't lock from the inside. How can you sleep with an open door? So we kept the light on and by 04:00 in the morning we packed our bags and hit the road. I think guests should at least be able to lock the cabins from the inside.

Dankie vir die terugvoer. Dit gebeur nogal dat mense van die stad sukkel om af te skakel hier by ons, misdaad in die stad jaag julle almal op 'n knop. Ons is bevoorreg om in 'n "zero misdaad" en rustige omgewing te woon. Ons is darem nie so afgesonder nie en het wel MTN opvangs, of u kon gerus van die Wi-Fi in die kamp gebruik gemaak het teen 16mb spoed. Verder woon ek slegs 500 m weg, in die onwaarskynlike geval van nood. Bring gerus julle vriende en kom kuier weer.

Dit was absoluut wonderlik. Die cabin waarin ons gebly het en die omgewing het my stoutste verwagtinge oortref.

Soveel om te sien. Ervarings vir 'n leeftyd! Sonder 'n besoek aan Clanwilliam se besienswaardighede het mens geen rykdom nie. Die wĆŖreld hier in Clanwilliam is waarlik uniek.

Op reis met my eggenoot en 2 volwasse kinders het ons net een nag oorgebly. Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang deur Thys en ons huis het alles gebied wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons sal beslis weer kom.

Beautiful area with so much to explore.

Really enjoyed De Pakhuys - the cottages are all very far apart so it feels like you are alone on the farm. Also, there is so much to explore in the area and the waterfall is beautiful. Great countryside - lots of different hiking and exploring options. Thys, the owner, was very accommodating.

Pragtige wegbreek!

Dis die perfekte plek vir as jy wil wegbreek. Die omgewing het my asem weggeslaan. Van die berge tot die sterre. Die watervalle was soos die hoogtepunt van als. Die Cabin self was baie gemaklik en dit was heeltyd onder skadu.

Asemrowend mooi.

Lieflike natuurskoon, baie mooi. Kampplekke is teen die rotse en tussen die bome. Die plaas gevoel is oorweldigend en maak jou wil begin boer. Bestuur baie akkommoderend en vriendelik. Die kort grondpad na die kantoor en eenhede is hier en daar bietjie onvriendelik vir 'n lae kar wat 'n sleepwa trek. Geen toegangbeheer, jy kan in en uit sonder deur toe hekke te beweeg.

Breathtakingly beautiful.

Lovely scenery, very beautiful. Campsites are against the rocks and among the trees. The farm feeling is overwhelming and makes you want to start farming. Management very accommodating and friendly. The short dirt road to the office and units is here and there a bit unfriendly for a low car pulling a trailer. No access control, you can enter and exit without moving through closed gates.

'n Weggesteekte gem waar mens net kan ontspan.

Ons was die 1stes om in 1 van die nuwe Safari-tente te kon bly. Daar skort niks met die tent as sulks nie maar as guinea pigs is daar net 2 issues wat aandag aangegee moet word vir die toekoms: sorg dat die gasyskas 'n dag voor die tyd aangesit is en daar kort 'n brandblusser in die tent (veiligheid met vuurmaak 'n groot risiko vir 'n brand want geen sement blad en baie los droeƫ gras). Maar overall 'n baie lekker en goeie ervaring en Thys was baie behulpsaam (om ons gasyskas aan die gang te kry) en vriendelik.

A hidden gem where one can just relax.

We were the 1st to be able to stay in 1 of the new Safari tents. There is nothing wrong with the tent as such, but as guinea pigs there are only 2 issues that need attention for the future: make sure that the gas box is put on a day before the time and there is a lack of a fire extinguisher in the tent (safety with fire a big risk for a fire because no cement slab and a lot of loose dry grass). But overall a very nice and good
