Lovely place.

Would only recommend a daily cleaning, as we were out early and arrived late back each day. Also the bar maybe being open and perhaps a small shop to buy water, wood etc.

Dit was baie lekker, die enigste ding wat ek die eienaar sal op wil attent maak, is dat hy na die warmwaterdruk in die log cabin eenhede sal moet kyk.

Dit was glad nie aangenaam om daar te stort of te bad nie, want die warmwaterdruk was so laag, dat jy nie kon stort nie en die bad het die water al koud by die tyd wat die bad genoeg water in het om te kan bad. Ons het dit onder Marius se aandag gebring, maar het geen verbetering gesien nie.

It was very nice, the only thing I would like to point out to the owner is that he will have to look at the hot water pressure in the log cabin units.

It was not at all pleasant to shower or bathe there, because the hot water pressure was so low, that you could not shower and the bath water was already cold by the time the bath had enough water in it to be able to bathe. We brought this to Marius' attention, but saw no improvement.

Hulle kan dalk daaglikse skoonmaakdienste aanbied teen addisionele fooi.

Baie lekker stil en rustig.

Net bietjie ver van teerpaaie en geen aanwysings langs die grondpad of teerpad se afdraai nie.

Very quiet and peaceful.

Just a bit far from tar roads and no directions along the dirt road or tar road turn off.

Baie rustig en veilig met al die nodige.

Die geriewe was soos wat ek verwag het. Daar was 'n rustige atmosfeer. Bring wel jou eie braaihout en ys saam. Die bokke is mak en loop naby die chalets.

Very quiet and safe with everything you need.

The amenities were as I expected. There was a peaceful atmosphere. Do bring your own braai wood and ice. The goats are tame and walk near the chalets.

Baie lekker gebly.

Baie oulike huisie met mooiste uitsig oor die dam. Daar was gelukkig geen besoekers saam met ons by die dam nie wat dit lekker stil gemaak het. Die musiek vanuit die kroeg was egter steurend (nie gepas vir 'n wildsplaas nie), so ons was bly toe beurtkrag aanbreek en dit hul stil gemaak het. Die grondpad soontoe was baie mooi onderhou.

Very nice stay.

Very cute house with the most beautiful view over the dam. Luckily there were no visitors with us at the dam which made it nice and quiet. However, the music from the bar was disturbing (not appropriate for a game farm), so we were glad when load shedding came and it silenced them. The dirt road there was very well maintained.

Dit was baie lekker. Personeel was baie vriendelik.

Ek sal graag 'n voorstel maak dat hul 'n mikrogolfoond en sout en peper in die wittebroodsuite moet sit. Alles was baienbetjies, en die personeel baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Dit is so 'n rustige atmosfeer.

Nature has blessed this place with enticing, scenic beauty.

Our stay at this place was really worth it. The place itself is located in a beautiful area, totally isolated resort. We were a group of 16 individuals and it accommodated us perfectly. The reception and care we received from the owner were incredible. Thank you for making our stay as great as it was. I will be definitely coming back to this location.

Pragtig en baie ontspanne, was baie lekker.

Ek was baie verras met hoe mooi dit is daar. Personeel was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ek sal nie skroom om weer daar te gaan oornag of selfs 'n naweek daar te gaan kuier nie. Die geriewe is van die bestes wat ek nog by so 'n plek gesien het. Was baie lekker en ontspannend. Kan lekker familietyd hê en 'n mens nader aanmekaar bring. Baie dankie.

The facilities are some of the best I have seen at such a place. Was very nice and relaxing. Can have nice family time and bring one closer together. Thank you very much.

Fantastiese wegbreek uit die stad.

Baie mooi en skoon eenhede. Die grasdak eenhede laat n mens voel soos indie bosveld. Sal beslis weer kom kuier!
