Rustig. Ons het baie lekker gebly, en sal weer graag daarheen wil gaan, dis privaat, stil en uniek.

Dis al ons tweede keer. Sal net graag aanbeveel dat hulle nie onnodig die pomp afsit nie.

Restful. We had a great stay, and would love to go there again, it's private, quiet and unique.

It's already our second time. Would just like to recommend that they don't turn off the pump unnecessarily.

Great place for an overnight stay.

Accommodation is clean and looks great, wouldn't stay longer than 1 or 2 nights as there isn't much to do on the property. If you are looking to stay longer and want to do stuff then would have to venture out of the property for hikes.

Was 'n heerlike wegbreek in die natuur!

Ons het die privaatheid van die bungalow baie geniet en het heerlik gekuier op die stoep en heerlik geslaap. Die personeel was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

It was very relaxing and secluded as there were no other guests. The wildlife was nice to see up close.

The staff were friendly, but we didn't really see or hear much of them. They greeted me on arrival and the security guard/ground worker was very friendly and helpful.

Teleurstellend, onnet, onveilig en afgeleef.

Die pad is bykans onbegaanbaar met 'n diep dam water waardeur mens verplig is om te ry omdat daar geen ompad is nie. Ons het onveilig gevoel aangesien daar nie behoorlike heinings is nie, alhoewel 'n wag blykbaar patrolleer. Die eenheid self was nie afgestof nie, met spinnerakke orals. Die beddegoed was vuil en die geiser het nie behoorlik gewerk nie. Ons was aangewese op koue water. Ons was baie teleurgesteld en wou al die eerste aand teruggaan huis toe. Ons het toe maar self skoongemaak en probeer om die beste van 'n slegte saak te maak. Die enigste pluspunt was dat die dame behulpsaam was om die padaanduidings te gee. Ons voel dat ons te veel moes betaal vir 'n plek wat nie op standaard was nie.

Disappointing, untidy, unsafe and shabby.

The road is almost impassable with a deep pool of water through which one is obliged to drive because there is no detour. We felt unsafe as there are no proper fences, although a guard seems to be patrolling. The unit itself was not dusted, with cobwebs everywhere. The bedding was dirty and the geyser was not working properly. We were dependent on cold water. We were very disappointed and wanted to go back home the first night. We then cleaned up ourselves and tried to make the best of a bad situation. The only plus point was that the lady was helpful in giving the directions. We feel that we had to pay too much for a place that was not up to standard.

Very friendly staff and welcoming.

The place has a huge potential for outdoor activities, like horse riding, animal tours and quad biking. Provide shaded parking areas for the cars. Network coverage is an issue and so is the provision of free WiFi.

Perfek vir henneparty.

Ons het die naweek as groep van 14 dames by Deruxa Cottages gewoon vir 'n henneparty. Die plek was baie skoon en netjies maar mens kan sien dit raak oud. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en het baie goed met ons gekommunikeer. Dit is die ideale plek vir so groot groep en partytjie. Mens as groep alleen daar sonder iemand wat pla.

Perfect for a hen party.

We stayed at Deruxa Cottages as a group of 14 ladies for a hen party this weekend. The place was very clean and tidy but you can see it is getting old. The staff were very friendly and helpful and communicated with us very well. It is the ideal place for such a large group and party. One as a group alone there without anyone bothering.

One big mess.

Where to start? I thought I was spoiling my fiance by going away on his birthday. Instead, we stayed at home. The manager of Deruxa contacted me on the Friday morning to confirm what time we would be arriving, but made no further arrangements. We followed Google Maps directions to the gate of Deruxa and arrived around 6:30pm. Arriving at the gate, we didn't know what next? There was also no signal to be able to make a call. We drove back to the tarmac and then dialed Deruxa's number - which was provided to us. The Deruxa number went to voicemail twice (after it first rang) and then a friendly man from the website answered our call. While we were on the phone with him, the person from Deruxa called us back and asked us to wait at the gate - there is a person on his way to unlock it. This was about 19:15. The lady who handed us our key mentioned that Eskom had been working on their cables since 1pm that afternoon and that the power should arrive later that evening. I immediately wondered why they didn't let us know - even before we were on our way there - that there was no power? The house was cute and tidy. The cutlery and kitchenware were very basic - and full of cobwebs. I quickly cleared the cobwebs, before my spider-phobic fiancee saw it - after taking a video first because I couldn't believe it. There was little to no signal at the place, as well as no WiFi or room service (cleaning of the place throughout the day). There were flashlights in the place, but they shone for two hours before giving up. The power didn't come on until about 2am the next morning and then we were wide awake because all the lights had been turned on at the switches by, possibly, the cleaner. On Saturday we went to Cullinan. Among other things, we should have gone to buy ice, because all our ice for the weekend had melted the night before when the power was out. It was a terrible struggle to get to the Deruxa gate, because we didn't have a key for the gate. We had to drive again to a place with a little signal and then try to get hold of the number and then drive back to the gate again and wait there until someone came to open for us. We then asked the person who came to unlock the gate if we could borrow his key to come back to Deruxa in the afternoon. On our return there was a power cut/ "loadhedding" (100% understandable) and we decided to wait for the power to arrive before we started making dinner. The power came on around 7:00 p.m. After that there was a quick thunderstorm and then the power went out again (I repeat - again) after being on for less than an hour. We called the Deruxa number and the lady on the other end of the phone did not want us to believe that the power was not on. She kept saying that she was going to give us a "half refund", but the "refund" wasn't our problem - the lack of electricity was! Just to create background - we live in Equestria in Pretoria East, about 40 min from Deruxa. We don't get power outages/ "loadshedding" and we didn't have any power outages that weekend in Equestria either. If I would have known our birthday getaway was going to be without electricity, I would have bought a tent from Makro for half the getaway cost and camped in our backyard. In hindsight, this is a funny story for us to tell around a barbecue fire, but no - I wouldn't recommend Deruxa to anyone.

Baie potensiaal, maar is verwaarloos.

Geen back-up vir die krag wat af is nie. Geen warm water. Daar is 'n 4 ster-sertifikaat op muur, maar dit is ver daarvan af. Regtig mooi bungalows, net nie skoon nie. Die japonne het kolle op, die stort is vuil,aircon lek. Geen asblikke by die swembad en braai-area nie en daar was drankblikke oral gewees. Die parkering vir voertuie het geen beskutting nie. Stowwerige kamer. Geen sein nie.

Lots of potential, but has been neglected.

No backup for the power that is down. No hot water. There is a 4 star certificate on wall but it is far from it. Really nice bungalows, just not clean. The gowns have stains on them, the shower is dirty, aircon leaks. No bins at the pool and braai area and there were drink cans everywhere. The parking for vehicles has no shelter. Dusty room. No signal.

Network connectivity is generally poor in the area, one has to make sure to inform establishment prior to arrival. Entire stay was great and safe, especially because they have night guard patrol.

Baie rustig, mooi wild, min padjies om te ry, geen steak-messe, geen braai-bakke.

Sal aanbeveel dat hulle 'n klein winkel op die perseel het net vir hout en ys. As jy weet kliënte begin 2 uur inklok, moet nie eers 20 oor 2 die hek kom oopsluit nie, veral nie as daar loadshedding is en jy niemand in die hande kan kry nie. Sleep meer paaie op die plaas sodat die wildsrit vir langer as 5min kan hou. Kry steak-messe, braai-bakke en braaitange wat nie stukkend is nie asook 'n snybord in die kamers. Skoonmaakgoed is ook maar skaars, ons het 1 lappie ontvang. Sort die geyser uit by die Stable Cottage, want die water was heeltyd koud. Waarsku mens dat sekuriteit heeltyd met sy fiets om ry, mens skrik mens dood as hy skielik net verby kom. Bied kamerdiens aan. Bietjie meer aandag aan die kleiner detail. Verander die beskrywing van kamers op die webwerf, die werknemers op die plaas ken slegs die name van die kamers (Eland, Impala, Stable, ens. ). As jy weet jy kry gaste, maak asseblief seker die swembad is blou en nie groen nie. Maar verder baie nice venue vir 'n "batcholers party" - nie op die oomblik geskik vir gesins- of familiebyeenkomste nie. Vir wat ons ontvang het sou ons op ander plekke R350 per aand per kop betaal het.

Very peaceful, beautiful wildlife, few roads to drive, no steak knives, no braai bowls.

Would recommend that they have a small shop on site just for wood and ice. If you know customers start checking in at 2 o'clock, don't come and unlock the gate until 20 past 2, especially if there is loadshedding and you can't get hold of anyone. Drag more roads on the farm so that the game drive can last longer than 5 minutes. Get steak knives, braai bowls and braai tongs that are not broken as well as a cutting board in the rooms. Cleaning products are also scarce, we received 1 cloth. Sorted out the geyser at the Stable Cottage, because the water was cold all the time. You are warned that security is constantly driving around with his bike, you are scared to death if he suddenly just passes by. Offer room service. A little more attention to the smaller details. Change the description of rooms on the website, the employees on the farm only know the names of the rooms (Eland, Impala, Stable, etc.). If you know you will have guests, please make sure the pool is blue and not green. But otherwise very nice venue for a "batcholers party" - not currently suitable for family or family gatherings. For what we received we would have paid R350 per night per head in other places.

Peaceful breakaway.

Deruxa Cottages is perfect for a family getaway. There's lots of space and the environment is tranquil - the perfect break from the city. The kitchen utensils could be improved slightly, but aside from that, we had the perfect night away!

Die plek is in so 'n verwaarlooste toestand en bitter vuil gewees.

Die plek was regtig uiters vuil en oud (beddegoed stukkend, banke stukkend). Die messe- en vurke-laaie was so vuil binne dat ons nie eers daar die tweede aand geëet het nie. Dit was regtig grillerig. Alles om die plek is verwaarloos. Gras teen huisie is nie gesny nie, die braai-area was baie slordig. Daar is 'n gas geyser in die badkamer met geen uitlaatpype na buite nie (dit is onwettig), as jy krane oopdraai ruik jy die hele tyd net gas - mens kan doodgaan van daai gasse. Ek het Saterdagoggend in 'n yskoue stort gestort en Saterdagaand die helfte van die bad getap en toe ek voel toe was die water yskoud. Krag het afgegaan Vrydagaand 6 - 9 - daar was geen solar lig/kers of niks in die eenheid nie - dit was pikdonker. Ek moes toe na 30 min die bediende bel sodat sy vir ons 'n lig kon bring sodat ons net ons kos kon klaarmaak. Self-catering sonder enige opwasgeriewe met warm water? Hoe werk dit - jy kan glad nie skottelgoed was nie - daar is 'n buitewasbak sonder warm water? Weet nie hoe het die bediende die skotteldoeg gewas het nie? Neem aan met die koue water in die buitewasbak - ek dink dis die rede dat die cutlery en crockery in die eenheid bitter vuil was. Ag nee man, ek is bitter teleurgesteld. Ons wou eintlik Saterdagoggend terugry, maar toe sê ek vir my man ons het baie geld betaal - ons kan nie net ry nie. Baie vuil lakens met kolle orals - dit was regtig een van die slegste verblyfervarings vir ons in 'n lang tyd. Vieslik en morsig vuil met 'n oop asgat - stukkende stoel, gemors wat oral lê en plante en bosse wat alles toegroei. As hulle die plek vir R200 'n nag adverteer sal ek sê ja - maar R950 per nag is regtig baie geld en dan verwag mense 'n plek wat skoon en netjies is. Dit was regtig disgusting!

The place was in such a neglected state and very dirty.

The place was really extremely dirty and old (bedding broken, couches broken). The knife and fork drawers were so dirty inside that we didn't even eat there the second night. It was really creepy. Everything around the place is neglected. Grass against the house was not cut, the braai area was very untidy. There is a gas geyser in the bathroom with no exhaust pipes to the outside (this is illegal), if you turn on the taps you only smell gas the whole time - you can die from those gases. I showered in an ice cold shower on Saturday morning and filled half the bath on Saturday night and when I felt it the water was ice cold. Power went out Friday night 6 - 9 - there was no solar light/candle or anything in the unit - it was pitch dark. I then had to call the maid after 30 min so she could bring us a light so we could just finish our food. Self-catering without any washing-up facilities with hot water? How does it work - you can't wash dishes at all - there is an outside sink with no hot water? Don't know how the maid washed the dishes? Assume the cold water in the outside sink - I think that's the reason the cutlery and crockery in the unit were very dirty. Oh no man, I'm bitterly disappointed. We actually wanted to drive back on Saturday morning, but then I told my husband we paid a lot of money - we can't just drive. Very dirty sheets with stains everywhere - this really was one of the worst stay experiences for us in a long time. Filthy and messy dirty with an open ash hole - broken chair, rubbish lying everywhere and plants and bushes overgrowing everything. If they advertise the place for R200 a night I will say yes - but R950 a night is really a lot of money and then people expect a place that is clean and tidy. It was really disgusting!

Teleurgesteld.

Eerstens, het ons 40 minute gewag vir die eienaar om vir ons die hek oop te maak. Dit word geadverteer as "in Dinokeng" wat totaal onwaar is. Hierdie is 40 minute, of 20 km, buite Dinokeng geleë. Die eenheid self was redelik skoon, maar dit het gelyk of die badkamermatjies 10 jaar laas gewas is. Daar was ook nie voldoende eetgerei nie. Die braaigeriewe was nooit skoongemaak nie en 'n ou, vrot mop het ons daar verwelkom. Dit was nogal 'n oogseer. Deruxa Cottages het ook as 'n geheel herstelwerk en basiese onderhoud op die eenhede nodig. Dit wil-wil uitmekaar val. Die foto's is uiters misleidend. Regtig teleurgesteld. Beveel hierdie verblyf vir niemand aan nie.

Disappointed.

First, we waited 40 minutes for the owner to open the gate for us. It is advertised as "in Dinokeng" which is totally untrue. This is located 40 minutes, or 20 km, outside Dinokeng. The unit itself was reasonably clean, but the bathroom mats looked like they hadn't been washed in 10 years. There were also not enough cutlery. The braai facilities were never cleaned and an old, rotten mop welcomed us there. It was quite an eyesore. Deruxa Cottages also needs repairs and basic maintenance on the units as a whole. It will-will fall apart. The photos are extremely misleading. Really disappointed. Do not recommend this accommodation to anyone.

It was a beautiful location though we were a bit disappointed.

We waited for one hour before someone opened the gate for us, then upon getting to the cottage we were handed the key with no further information. We had to call the staff back to ask for an extra bed for our child and how the gas geyser worked, as well as other 'housekeeping' items. The kitchen was usable, but not fully stocked with the necessary utensils needed. The bed was comfortable and the view spectacular. A place to go if you are looking for rustic peace and quiet.

Not as private as shown in photos.

Houses all look at each other. Guests in small houses were played very loud and noisy music. Quite a distance from Dinokeng itself. Banks very dirty and creepy. Very few pots and kitchen utensils.

We rested and visited very well. The rooms were nice and clean and well appointed. The braai area and swimming pool were also lovely to use. People were very friendly. We will be sure to visit again!

Baie netjies en mooi, maar klein perseel en min geriewe. Dit val buite die Dinokeng Wildreservaat en moet ongeveer 20 km ry tot by Dinokeng Reservaat, Nyati Gate en 'n verder 5 km tot by Self Drive Route, om groot wild te sien. Deruxa het well 'n paar rooibokke, blouwildebeeste and volstruise wat ons met ons aankoms verwelkom het.

Very neat and beautiful, but small site and few facilities. It falls outside the Dinokeng Game Reserve and has to drive about 20 km to Dinokeng Reserve, Nyati Gate and a further 5 km to Self Drive Route, to see big game. Deruxa has some redbucks, blue wildebeests and ostriches that welcomed us on our arrival.

Perfect place for a weekend getaway with friends.

The family bungalow offers everything to spend a great getaway with friends or family. But the highlights definitely are the braai area, the swimming pool and the pool area. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are spacious and clean.

For anyone wanting a getaway close-by, this would be perfect if there was more manager involvement. The venue lacks organisation and requires some TLC as it is starting to become rundown.

The accommodation was comfortable. However, the lack of crockery, cutlery and glassware was frustrating which could easily be resolved if the staff have an inventory of what is required for two people sharing. I do not consider sharing to mean one mug, one teaspoon, one champagne glass. Also advertised as a romantic getaway, pity there were no wine glasses to enjoy a glass of wine nor any side plates or a bowl to make a salad, not that there was a knife you could use to make a salad. Fortunately, I always bring my own wine glass and sharp knife from previous experiences. I did request a bowl, side plate and a plate to put our braai meat on and it was supplied. On the plus side, having the wildebeest and ostrich stroll past every day was a privilege, the bed was comfortable and the security that patrolled at night was comforting.

Very good getaway if you want to get out of the city. Lights needs attention, no light outside the stable cottage. T kitchen equipment needs attention. The gas geyser in the stable unit needs attention. Other than that, a very good experience.

Very nice setting. Loved the fireplace as it was cold at night.

The signage indicating it is a bit worn and needs to be clearer, drove past the signage twice before I actually phoned the number on the booking form as the number on the board was non-existent. On arrival we found the geyser in our units tripped the power, the staff moved us to another unit within minutes.

Die beste plekkie om weg te kom van die stadslewe.

Die mense wat daar werk was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die plek was so skoon en netjies. Dit was so lekker om aan die slaap te raak en wakker te word met die geluid van natuur en geen klanke van die stadslewe nie. Die plekkie het 'n baie 'rustic feel' maar die badkamers was ook modern, wat vir ons 'n baie goeie kombinasie is. Dit was die beste plekkie om vir 'n aand weg te gaan. Baie dankie.

Lekker maar ook teleurstellend in een sin

Die feit dat die plek nie in Dinokeng is nie maar so geadverteer word was 'n groot teleurstelling, hulle sal ook die tipes verblyf beter moet verduidelik. Verder was die verblyf baie netjies en baie mooi, die waterdruk was wel 'n baie groot probleem gewees, met twee van die kamer met amper niks en een met heeltemal niks. Die werkers en sekuriteit was fantasties, die mense het uit hulle pad vir ons gegaan met enige versoek. Voorstelle, laat weet daar is ys beskikbaar, verkoop normale hout asook bondels vir mense wat hou van om 'n bosveld vuur sit. Dink die plek het soveel meer potensiaal. Maar dit gesê het ons lekker gekuier, maar ons is gemaklike mense, dink nie almal gaan so voel nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Nice but also disappointing in one sense

The fact that the place is not in Dinokeng but is advertised as such was a big disappointment, they will also need to explain the types of accommodation better. Furthermore, the accommodation was very neat and very nice, the water pressure had indeed been a very big problem, with two of the rooms with almost nothing and one with absolutely nothing. The workers and security were fantastic, the people went out of their way for us with any request. Suggestions, let them know there is ice available, sell normal wood as well as bundles for people who like to sit around a forest fire. Think the place has so much more potential. But that said we had a good time, but we are easygoing people, don't think everyone is going to feel that way.

Lekker gerus, daar is wel goed wat ek dink kan verbeter.

Beligting buite was baie swak en het opgelet dat daar wel liggies is maar wat nie werk nie, die maan het ook nie geskyn oor die naweek nie so ons het van selfoonliggies moes gebruik maak. Basiese benodighede soos kerse, skottegoed was sponsie, asbakkies, 'n braaitang, graaf, ordentlike messe, asblik met 'n deksel en selfs ekstra swartsak ens. Glo ek kan 'n bydra maak tot 'n uitsetekende selfsorg-eenheid.

Don't worry, there are things that I think can be improved.

Lighting outside was very poor and noticed that there were lights but that didn't work, the moon didn't shine over the weekend either so we had to use cell phone lights. Basic necessities such as candles, dish washing sponge, ashtrays, a braai tong, shovel, decent knives, dustbin with a lid and even extra black bag etc. Believe I can make a contribution to an excellent self-care unit.

Fasiliteite is daar, maar afgeskeep by Family Cottage.

Dit lyk of daar 'n tyd was dat dit 'n mooi plek was, maar nou kom dit maar afgeskeep voor. Lyk nie of iets vervang of reggemaak word nie, en dis klein dingetjies wat pla (bv. stort wat nie dreineer nie, skottegoedwassser wat daar staan - maar nie werk nie, oondglas wat gebreek is en die lys gaan aan). Ons het nogtans lekker gebly (dalk omdat ons goeie geselskap gehad het). Die wildebeeste en diere wat rondloop was lekker om te sien.

It looks like there was a time when it was a nice place, but now it just looks neglected. Nothing seems to be replaced or fixed, and it's small things that bother (eg shower that doesn't drain, dishwasher that is there - but doesn't work, oven glass that is broken and the list goes on). We still had a good time (perhaps because we had good company). The wildebeest and animals walking around were nice to see.

'n Lekker wegbreek in die middel van die bos.

Dit was heerlik om daar te wees en die plekkie was mooi skoon en netjies. Dankbaar vir die eenheid wat effens afgeleë was en naby genoeg om te stap na die swembad toe. Die staff is baie vriendelike en behulpsaam. Aanbeveling vir die buitelug-stort: Halflyf-skuiling te bou sodat mens steeds die natuur kan geniet, maar nie totaal en al in die oopte stort nie. Aanbeveling vir die ingang: Dateer asb. die bord op met die nuutste kontaknommer, asook was ons nogal onseker oor wie ons ontmoet en hoe om in die plaas te kom (meer duidelikheid met die aanwysings sal waardeer word). Baie dankie Deruxa, julle sal ons weer sien!

A nice getaway in the middle of the forest.

It was lovely to be there and the place was nice and clean. Grateful for the unit which was a bit remote and close enough to walk to the pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Recommendation for the outdoor shower: Build a half-body shelter so that one can still enjoy nature, but not completely shower in the open. Recommendation for the entrance: Please update. the board with the latest contact number, as well as we were quite unsure about who we were meeting and how to get into the farm (more clarity with the directions would be appreciated). Thank you very much Deruxa, you will see us again!

Het die veld en diere in ’n rustige omgewing geniet.

Was ook bly dat dit nie oorvol was nie. ’n Voorstel is om dalk perde in te bring vir ritte.

Enjoyed the field and animals in a peaceful environment.

Was also glad it wasn't overcrowded. A suggestion is to perhaps bring horses in for rides.

Rustige wegbreek in die bos saam met vriende.

Ons was ’n groep van 9 volwassenes en 4 kinders en het die plaashuis en twee van die kothuise bespreek. Die plaashuis is baie ruim en goed toegerus (die kombuis is bietjie skraal toegerus) en alles was skoon en netjies. Ons het ’n heerlike, rustige tyd gehad en daar is genoeg spasie dat niemand onder iemand anders se voete is nie. Die staff was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam en het uit hulle pad gegaan om seker te maak ons is gerieflik en het alles wat ons nodig het. Ons het selfs so paar bokkies gesien. Dit is naby genoeg uit die stad vir ’n vinnige wegbreek maar ook ver genoeg dat jy voel jy weg van die stad se geraas. Ons het reeds besluit om volgende jaar vir langer te gaan.

Peaceful getaway in the woods with friends.

We were a group of 9 adults and 4 children and booked the farmhouse and two of the cottages. The farmhouse is very spacious and well equipped (the kitchen is a bit sparsely equipped) and everything was clean and tidy. We had a lovely, peaceful time and there is enough space that no one is under anyone else's feet. The staff were friendly and very helpful and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We even saw a few goats. It's close enough out of the city for a quick getaway but also far enough that you feel like you're away from the city's noise. We have already decided to go for longer next year.

Ideale plek vir klein funksies.

Ons het my dogter se 21ste gereel by Deruxa. Alles was so lekker opgestel en die kuierplekke en akkommodasie is baie gerieflik. Sal beslis weer groepkuiers by hulle reël.

Dit was perfek vir dit waarvoor ons nodig gehad het. Dit kon skoner wees, maar ons het dit darem steeds geniet.

Ons het die Farm House en een Executive Cottage bespreek vir een aand oor die naweek. Met aankoms het 'n dame ons rondgewys en oral vir ons oopgesluit. Die Farm House was nie so skoon soos ons dit wou hê nie en van die gaste het gekla oor insekte in die beddegoed en vullis in die badkamers. Dit was ook duidelik dat daar nie voor ons aankoms vinnig gevee of gewas was nie, want daar het blare en klein hopies grond rondegelê reg oor die huis. Die skottelgoedwasmasjien is ook buitewerking so ons het self die skottelgoed gewas voor ons gery het. Ten spyte van die netheid en die insekte, bly dit 'n goedgeleë en bekostigbare wegbreekplekkie. Dis net jammer dat die foto's op hul webtuiste nie rerig pas by wat mens kry as jy daar aankom nie.

It was perfect for what we needed it for. It could be cleaner, but at least we still enjoyed it.

We booked the Farm House and one Executive Cottage for one night over the weekend. On arrival a lady showed us around and unlocked everything for us. The Farm House was not as clean as we wanted it to be and some of the guests complained about insects in the bedding and garbage in the bathrooms. It was also clear that there had not been a quick sweep or wash prior to our arrival, because there were leaves and small piles of dirt lying around right over the house. The dishwasher is also out of order so we washed the dishes ourselves before we drove. Despite the cleanliness and the insects, it remains a well-located and affordable getaway spot. It's just a shame that the photos on their website don't quite match what you get when you get there.

Sien onder.

Lekker, netjiese plaashuis vir groot groep mense. Als wat nodig is vir aand of twee. Dink net hul moet bietjie meer kyk na hul kombuisgeriewe, nadat ons ingeklok het, moes ons eers gaan vra vir die dame aan diens op die perseel vir glase, bakke ens. Dink hul moet beter ingelig word en sorg dat die aantal breekware ens. wat nodig is vir groep mense beskikbaar moet wees, dat mens nie nodig het om te moet vra vir als nie. Potte het nie deksels nie, ens. Maar verder was dit baie netjies en skoon en die persoon aan diens Lerato het gesorg dat als netjies is. Klein goedjies wat ons hul definitief net moet na kyk wat nodig is in en om die huis. Bv. van die vensters het glad nie eers gordyne of blinders gehad nie. Vreemd.

Nice, neat farmhouse for large group of people. All that is needed for an evening or two. Just think they should look a little more at their kitchen facilities, after we checked in, we first had to ask the lady on duty on the premises for glasses, bowls etc. Think they should be better informed and ensure that the number of crockery etc. what is needed for a group of people must be available, so that one does not need to ask for anything. Pots do not have lids, etc. But other than that it was very neat and clean and the person on duty Lerato made sure everything was tidy. Small things that we definitely just have to look at that are needed in and around the house. E.g. some of the windows didn't even have curtains or blinds. Strange.

Not what we expected.

The pictures look very nice but the place does not look like the pictures. The place is quite clean but curtains are dirty and look neglected. We requested wood and got none. The website says there is a place to eat but there isn't. Nor anywhere to buy anything. The dirt road was also very bad.

Pleasant stay in clean, quiet house.

It was a pleasant stay with very quiet surroundings. The wildlife walking around and the views were optimal for relaxation. The house was spotless and additionally cleaned daily. The kitchen was somewhat under-equipped with cutlery. Signal was also a problem but is excellent if you want to completely switch off. Rooms are all spacious and a bonus is having sufficient bathrooms for all guests. Large common areas served well for everyone to be able to 'kuier' together. Overall it was a great stay and was well enjoyed by all.

The visit was very nice and the children enjoyed the house.

The rooms and bathrooms are very nice, neat and clean. The kitchen could improve. Cupboards are broken and there is not enough crockery at all. For example, there is no meat bowl, not even porridge bowls or bowls to serve food in. Of the whole house, the kitchen was disappointing. The pool table's sticks were also all broken and the DStv did not want to work. The one glass sliding door's lock was broken and could not close. At least there was security all night which helped.

Baie netjies en lekker.

Die GPS-location wat mens van Google af kry is nie reg nie en het ons nogal deurmekaar gehad. Maar as mens nog so 3 km aanry is daar duidelike borde wat aandui waar mens moet draai. By die venue aangekom is die hekke nie baie verwelkomend nie. Maar die venue self is regtig lekker, die lapa area is ideaal vir verjaarsdae met 'n volledig toegeruste kombuis. Die staf het ons regtig baie mooi gehelp. Ons was net dames en het baie veilig gevoel met die sekuriteitswag wat heeltyd verby gekom het.

Very neat and nice.

The GPS location that you get from Google is not right and confused us quite a bit. But if you drive another 3 km there are clear signs indicating where you should turn. Arriving at the venue, the gates are not very welcoming. But the venue itself is really nice, the lapa area is ideal for birthdays with a fully equipped kitchen. The staff really helped us very well. We were just ladies and felt very safe with the security guard passing by all the time.
