Amazing, spectacular, well rested.

After a long day of driving, there is no better place to stay. The tents are clean and have everything you could need. The hosts are excellent and welcomed us with open arms. We will definitely stay there again.

Juweel in die Karoo!

Ons wens ons kon hulle 'n sterre gee! Was vir seker nie ons laaste kuier hier nie. Cheryl is ongelooflike gasvrye mense. Loer gereeld in om te hoor of alles nog in orde is. Het hier gekamp deur een woeste storm (ongeskeurde oorleef) ha ha ha. Wil eintlik nie hê mense moet die juweel ontdek nie en dit net vir jouself hou. Ek weet sommer nou al ons gaan nog baie hier kom kamp! Dankie julle 2 vir lekker kuier.

Jewel in the Karoo!

We wish we could give them a star! Wasn't our last visit here for sure. Cheryl is incredibly hospitable people. Check in regularly to see if everything is still okay. Camped here through one ferocious storm (survived unscathed) ha ha ha. Actually don't want people to discover the gem and just keep it to yourself. I know right now that we will be camping here a lot more! Thank you both for a nice visit.

Excellent!

A large tent, with a kingsize bed, a fridge, camping cutlery and plates, a gas plate: very comfortable, camping style stay. We sat under the afdakkie and enjoyed the quiet, and watched a storm move in. When it did rain we were nicely dry. Showers and ablutions are squeaky clean. Cheryl was most helpful with info about the best roads in the area. Thank you! You might see us again soon!

Irma, baie dankie vir jou resensie. Dit word opreg waardeer. Ons sien uit daarna om julle weer hier by die Bosvarkie te verwelkom.

Ervaring vir kinders wat nie aan kampering gewoond is nie.

Dit was lekker. Die reën het verhoed dat ons kon braai.

Absoluut puik.

Ons was baie vriendelik verwelkom. Cheryl en Mac is awesome mense. Alles in die huisie was ongelooflik skoon en netjies. Die badkamers is baie netjies en skoon. Lekker in die swembad gechill met die onuithoudbare hitte. Beslis 'n plekkie om te besoek. Doen die moeite en ry daar langs. Kampeerplek ook beskikbaar.

We were welcomed very kindly. Cheryl and Mac are awesome people. Everything in the house was incredibly clean and tidy. The bathrooms are very neat and clean. Chilling in the pool with the unbearable heat. Definitely a place to visit. Make the effort and drive by. Camping space also available.

Met die solar is die staanplek fantasties. Alles is netjies en skoon.

Die eienaars is vriendelik en behulpsaam, en gaan uit hul pad om dit gerieflik te maak. Dit is stil en rustig in die omgewing in 'n lekker plaasatmosfeer. Ek het baie lekker daar gestaan en sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel vir my vriende.

Dit is 'n fantastiese wegkomnaweek, ware gesinstyd gehad en die gasvryheid was tops.

Die tente was mooi skoon, daar was vars 5l koue bottelwater, wifi en baie vriendelike dies, daar was skoon beddegoed met elkeen van ons voorsien van 'n mooi vars handdoek. Die storte en badkamers was baie netjies en skoon. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het was beskikbaar. Dankie Cheryl ons sien julle beslis weer.

Rustig en ontspanne.

Ek het 'n baie aangename tyd geniet. Cheryl en Max is wonderlike mense en hulle het my baie welkom laat voel. As jy net wil ontspan en die natuur en omgewing wil leer ken, is Die Bosvarkie die ideale plek om te begin.

Uitstekend, gasvry, heerlike kuier.

Bosvarkie is dié plek om te stop. Met 'n warm verwelkoming, tot skoon netjiese geriewe, dié beste burgers op aarde, jip, beter as Spur en Steers, die swembad, die geselskap van die eienaars, alles was en is net tops. Bekostigbare kroeg met yskoue drink goed. Nee wat, hier wil jy stop en nooit weer aanbeweeg nie. Tops.

Bosvarkie is the place to stop. With a warm welcome, to clean and tidy facilities, the best burgers on earth, yep, better than Spur and Steers, the swimming pool, the company of the owners, everything was and is just top notch. Affordable bar with ice cold drinks. No what, here you want to stop and never move on again. Tops.

Ongelooflik lekker, baie stil en rustig.
