Wonderlike stilte, & hoë gehalte uitsig om lekker uit te rus.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by DeMist Cottage - Old Bearie. Ons sal ook aanbeveel dat hul WiFi & 'n TV installeer, want ons beplan om ons kinders volgende keer saam te neem.

Wonderful silence, & high quality view to rest well.

We had a great stay at DeMist Cottage - Old Bearie. We would also recommend that they install WiFi & a TV as we plan to bring our kids next time.

Geweldige mooi omgewing.

Die omgewing is geweldig mooi en dit was interessant om te sien waar die lemoene en nartjies vandaan kom.

Great beautiful environment.

The surroundings are extremely beautiful and it was interesting to see where the oranges and daffodils come from.

Slightly disappointing.

The house was neat and the outside braai area was a nice feature. However, the cutlery was dirty and needed to be washed before use, same with the plates. The pans are all beyond use and some have rust and all Teflon has come off. No toaster! Bedding clean and good quality, but the beds are shocking, all matrresses slant or fall in in the middle. Entrance mat inside house was already dirty and muddy upon arrival. Old used pairs of stockings also found in first bedroom, I'm speechless. Maybe more for a young crowd that only drinks, braais and falls over. Also, hardly any water pressure in the shower. Was quite disappointed.

Lekker ontspan by die lapa-area.

En lekker geselsies met die eienaar het ons lekker tuis laat voel. Goeie ligging as jy deur die Baviaanskloof wil gaan. Alles goed toegerus.

Kuierhuis in die vallei.

Uitstekende en vriendelike diens ontvang. 'n Juweel van 'n huis in Patensie. 'n Lekker, kuier plaashuis atmosfeer.

Cottage in the valley.

Received excellent and friendly service. A gem of a house in Patensie. A nice, cozy farmhouse atmosphere.

Gesellig, insiggewend en karaktervol.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en die braaiplek was heerlik gesellig. Die huis praat van mense met humor, karakter en stories. Veral die badkamer vreeslik geniet. Die sitrusboord se geur was vrolik al om ons. Sal beslis weer kom.

Cosy, informative and full of character.

We were received very kindly and the braai place was wonderfully cozy. The house speaks of people with humor, character and stories. Especially enjoyed the bathroom. The citrus orchard's scent was cheerful all around us. Will definitely come again.

Netjies en goed ingerigte huisie.

Beveel huisie aan. Ek stel voor dat eienaar let op die veiligheid van die gaste. Geen veiligheidshekke of diefwering voor vensters nie.

Lekker oornagverblyf tussen lemoenboorde op pad ná 'n lang dag se ry deur die Baviaanskloof.

Dit was ons tweede besoek aan DeMist - Old Bearie, gedurende verskillende tye van die jaar. Dit is baie knus, kreatiewe gastehuis. Ons wil net graag voorstel dat die eienaars dakwaaiers of losstaande waaiers vir elke vertrek voorsien. Dit was baie warm tydens ons onlangse verblyf. Een waaier was onvoldoende. Die eienaar het slegs die verblyf oopgesluit en op 'n stadium net geskakel om te sê sy sien ons het ingetrek. 'n Fisiese besoek en ontmoeting sou beslis meer waardeer word.

Nice overnight stay between orange groves on the way after a long day's drive through the Baviaanskloof.

This was our second visit to DeMist - Old Bearie, during different times of the year. This is a very cozy, creative guest house. We would only like to suggest that the owners provide ceiling fans or stand-alone fans for each room. It was very hot during our recent stay. One fan was insufficient. The owner only unlocked the accommodation and at one point only called to say she saw we had moved in. A physical visit and meeting would definitely be more appreciated.

Baie lekker.

Ons het heerlik gebly en baie lekker vuurtjie gemaak elke aand in die Lapa. Johansie, julle plekkie is tops en dit was lekker om deur 'n venster te kyk wat nie toegemaak is met allerhande diefwerings nie.

We had a wonderful stay and made a very nice fire every night in the Lapa. Johansie, your place is top notch and it was nice to look through a window that was not closed with all kinds of burglar bars.

Baie gerieflik, baie netjies en die uitsig onverbeterlik.

Alles was perfek ... van die ontvangs deur Jansie, die silwerskoon huisie en beddens, die pragtige lapa en die fantastiese uitsig oor die vallei, die lemoenboorde en berge was alles deel van 'n perfekte kuier! Baie dankie.
