Rustig en lekker.

Ons was op soek na 'n plek, naby aan Pretoria, maar in die bos. Alles was mooi netjies, en "rustic". Ons het regtig lekker gebly. Alle navrae is vinnig beantwoord. Daar is genoeg plek vir stap of fietsry. Ons sal oorweeg om weer te gaan.

Quiet and nice.

We were looking for a place, close to Pretoria, but in the bush. Everything was pretty neat, and "rustic". We had a really nice stay. All inquiries were answered quickly. There is enough space for walking or cycling. We would consider going again.

Tranquil and relaxing.

We had a relaxing weekend and enjoyed our stay. Thank you for promptly filling the water tank when it was empty.

Very private, only people at the dam. Lots of firewood. Plain, but very good value for money.

Only small problem is that the canoe in the photos is not safe to use.

Ons was redelik teleurgesteld.

Die Damhuis het aandag nodig. Die hessian by die voordeur is geskeur. Die laaie in kombuis en kamers is stowwerig en mankoliekerig. Die gekraakte glasblad in die kombuis is onaanvaarbaar. Die dak in die kamer met 2 enkelbeddens lek. Daar is nie gemaklike stoele vir buite nie. Ons was gedwing om die generator te gebruik terwyl ons eintlik bosveldstilte gaan opsoek het. All in all is R1000 per nag hopeloos te veel vir wat Die Damhuis bied. Ek sal die verblyf nie by vriende aanbeveel nie. Jammer Johan.

We were quite disappointed.

The Dam House needs attention. The hessian at the front door was torn. The drawers in the kitchen and rooms are dusty and smelly. The cracked glass top in the kitchen is unacceptable. The roof in the room with 2 single beds is leaking. There are no comfortable chairs for outside. We were forced to use the generator while we actually went to seek out bushveld silence. All in all, R1000 per night is hopelessly too much for what Die Damhuis offers. I would not recommend the accommodation to friends. Sorry John.

Stil en rustig as jy net wil wegbreek van die stad.

Baie rustig, genoeg hout vir die winter koue en braai, en kuier om die vuur. Het dit baie geniet. Sal beslis weer gaan in die somer vir voëlkyk.

Quiet and peaceful if you just want to get away from the city.

Very quiet, enough wood for the winter cold and barbecue, and hanging out around the fire. Enjoyed it a lot. Will definitely go again in the summer for bird watching.

Dankie dit was regtig n aangename naweek al was dit nat en modderig van die baie reën.

Alles netjies en skoon. Dankie Johan dat jy uit jou pad gegaan het om ons te akkommodeer met kragopwekkers as ons dit sou nodig kry maar die sonkrag sisteem was 100% voldoende al was daar niks son nie! Sal definitief weer gaan en die visse byt lekker! Sal net versoek dat doringbome bietjie snoeiwerk nodig het aangesien dit die visvang bemoeilik het en dak in spaarkamer het gelek a.g.v. die baie reën! Verder was alles netjies.

Thank you, it was a really pleasant weekend even though it was wet and muddy from the lot of rain.

Everything neat and clean. Thank you Johan for going out of your way to accommodate us with generators if we needed them but the solar system was 100% sufficient even though there was no sun! Will definitely go again and the fish are biting! Would only request that thorn trees need some trimming as they made fishing difficult and roof in spare room leaked due to the lot of rain! Other than that, everything was neat.

Klein kinders se droomvakansie.

Dis die eerste keer in 20 jaar wat ons nie opstaan met 'n seer lyf gedurende vakansie nie. Ons het heerlik geslaap. Die kinders het visgevang in die dag en nag. Die vis byt lekker en die vis wat jy uittrek lyk in goeie kondisie. Hulle het meestal kaalvoet geloop en net hier en daar 'n doring uit die voet getrek as hulle van die loopareas afdwaal. Ek het nog nooit so baie Rummicup gespeel soos daar nie, my kinders was mal oor dit. Daar is 'n klein lekplekkie in die boot maar as jy op jou knieë en voete sit dan bly jou agterstewe droog maar dis dalk iets waarna gekyk kan word. Die brukkie / dock se planke kort bietjie aandag en die hele huisie kort 'n goeie skoonmaak. Daar groei ook 'n plant oor die paadjie af na die dammetjie wat verwyder moet word. Dis in die pad as jy in die donker agter 'n bytende visstok aan hardloop. Dis natuurlik in die bos so wees bedagsaam op onwelkome gaste soos ons bruin huisslang wat in die kombuiskas vir ons gewag het en die hele plaas se vlieë wat aansluit vir ete as dit voor 6pm is. Maar all in all het ons heerlik gekuier en liedjies gesing om die bon fire en visgevang, bootjie gery, fietsgery, gestap, beeste gesien, die mooiste maanopkoms oor die stil water wat die maan weerkaats. Dit was heerlik en baie spesiaal met kosbare familie oomblikke. Ek sal dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat nie bang is vir 'n paar goggas nie.

Little children's dream holiday.

It's the first time in 20 years that we don't get up with a sore body during vacation. We slept great. The children fished during the day and night. The fish are biting nicely and the fish you pull out looks in good condition. They mostly walked barefoot and only here and there pulled a thorn out of their foot when they strayed from the walking areas. I have never played as much Rummicup as there, my kids loved it. There is a small leak in the boat but if you sit on your knees and feet then your stern stays dry but it might be something that can be looked into. The brukkie / dock's boards need some attention and the whole house needs a good cleaning. There is also a plant growing over the path down to the pond that needs to be removed. It's in the way when you run after a biting fishing rod in the dark. Of course it's in the woods so be considerate of unwelcome guests like our brown house snake that was waiting for us in the kitchen cupboard and the whole farm's flies that join in for dinner if it's before 6pm. But all in all we had a great time and sang songs around the bon fire and fished, boated, cycled, walked, saw cattle, the most beautiful moonrise over the still water that reflects the moon. It was delicious and very special with precious family moments. I would recommend it to anyone who isn't afraid of a few bugs.

'n Ongelooflike verassing, pragtig uitgerus, skoon met alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Definitief aan te beveel vir 'n keer vriende naweek. Alhowel die pad naby is is die geraas nie so erg nie en heeltemal aanvaarbaar. Beslis op my lys vir 'n toekomstige besoek.

Heerlike naweek wegbreek.

Die Damhuis is goed ingerig, netjies en goeie waarde vir geld. Ons kon heerlik rus en die kinders het die dam met kano baie geniet. Ons het gesukkel met die water en krag, maar Johan was onmiddellik beskikbaar om als reg te maak. Vat miskien drinkwater saam. Sal definitief weer wil gaan.

The Damhuis is well furnished, tidy and good value for money. We were able to rest wonderfully and the children really enjoyed the pond with canoe.

Dit was 'n heerlike om in die natuur te kon ontspan.

Die Damhuis is 'n oulike wegbreekplekkie vir mense wat uit die stad wil kom en nie te ver wil ry nie. Dit is bekostigbaar en goed ingerig en voldoen aan 'n mens se basiese behoeftes. Die feit dat die dam ook loopafstand is, is 'n pluspunt. Die verkeer is hoorbaar van die pad af en kan wel steurend wees vir diegene wat na absolute stilte soek. Andersins kan ons dit met graagte aanbeveel.

It was wonderful to be able to relax in nature.

The Damhuis is a nice getaway spot for people who want to get out of the city and don't want to drive too far. It is affordable and well appointed and meets one's basic needs. The fact that the dam is also within walking distance is a plus. The traffic is audible from the road and can be disturbing for those looking for absolute silence. Otherwise, we can happily recommend it.

Baie rustig, ontspannend en 'n heerlike tydjie weg gewees.

Plekkie mooi binne, watervlak was bietjie laag, maar dis maar die natuur, mooi vis gevang, baber en karp, sal enige tyd aanbeveel, net nie seker vir kleintjies nie, dink dorings sal pla en nie veel vir kinders om hul mee besig te hou, vir grootmense en couples, fantasties. Dankie julle.

Was 'n uitstekende naweek nie te ver om te ry nie.

Ons was ontvang met ope arms. Die huisie het als wat mens nodig het. Daar was meer as genoeg vuurmaak hout vir vir drie aande. Die kinders het op 'n nuwe vlot gespeel op die dam en in die kano gery as hulle nie die visstokke beman nie. Ek sal Die Damhuis enige tyd aanbeveel en ons as gesin sal beslis weer daar gaan vir vir 'n naweek.

Was an excellent weekend not too far to drive.

We were received with open arms. The house has everything you need. There was more than enough fire wood for three nights. The children played on a new raft on the pond and rode in the canoe when they weren't manning the fishing rods. I would recommend Die Damhuis anytime and we as a family would definitely go there again for a weekend.

Baie rustige atmosfeer met vriendelike diens.

Dit is die ideale plek vir 'n naweekwegbreek met 'n baie rustige atmosfeer. Die eienaars het ons vriendelik en gasvry ontvang. Die eenheid het alles wat nodig is. Ons het die bordspeletjies vreeslik geniet en was ook gelukkig om 'n hele paar visse uit te trek. Ten spyte van die pad wat langs die plaas verby loop, is dit vir seker 'n plek wat ek sal aanbeveel.
