Comfortable, peaceful.
Definitely good value for money. The cottage is well equipped for what we wanted. We had 2 dogs together and it didn't cause any problems. The driveway was a problem though. We were quite heavily loaded and due to the rain stuck the trailer in the mud. We had to get help to get out and then found a safe place for the pram from someone else. It would be a good idea to put a good layer of gravel in the driveway to avoid sticking. But otherwise we had a great stay and would definitely go there again. The directions were good.

Very pleasant and comfortable. The weather just wasn't good - raining all the time.
From the outside the barn doesn't look too good, but the inside is very nicely decorated. They might pour or pave a cement patio. We would have loved to use the beautiful barbecue area, but rain cut short many plans. Only complaints, there was no coffee and matches, and no lighters for the candles.

Hierdie plek is vir jonger mense. Die trap op na slaapplek is uiters steil en snags moet mens van bo af kom om badkamer te gebruik.

This place is for younger people. The stairs up to the sleeping area are extremely steep and at night you have to come down to use the bathroom.
It was raining when we got there. We wanted to sit outside on the porch, but couldn't because water came through the porch. The porch was soaking wet and muddy. The place is beautifully located in a rural setting, but in the evening you have to drive to the places to eat, because it is not central enough to walk. With load shedding, streets were also very dark.

Rustig en stil, maar Nieu-Bethesda is nie meer wat dit was nie.

Translate to English.
Peaceful and quiet, but New Bethesda is not what it used to be.
Perfect place to rest especially if you are traveling with your pet. No more restaurants were available so let people know to bring something to eat in advance. Middle of winter and the hearth was smoking so had to sleep with a window open which half misses the point. Other than that, everything was very polite.

Stayed for one night, is something different but pleasant.
Stayed calm. Can go for a nice walk down here to the village and ideal for someone traveling with a dog. Just a suggestion, it would be good if something like a small concrete stone could be thrown under the porch canopy to avoid the mud.

Oh, the place stole my heart! I felt like Heidi in Grandpa's mountain cabin when we lay on our loft bed at night! It's precisely the otherness that caught my attention when I was looking for accommodation in Nieu-Bethesda. Wish we could have stayed longer, nothing was missing. The night after our arrival, both Naudesberg and Lootsberpas were covered in snow, but Kapokbos was provided with a fireplace, gas heater. oil heater, electric blanket and heating wall panel.

If I could, I would stay longer than one night. Maybe about five more nights. Or more. The Kapokboskuur is a wonderful place. So peaceful and calm and the perfect blend between rustic and modern. Plus, it's terribly beautiful. Especially the window that opens in the room with a view of fields and mountains. Will definitely return for more nights next time.

Practically, it was not a user-friendly stay for us.
I realize that accommodation is a very personal thing and accept that other visitors may differ from me. Convenience and value for money is also a relative matter, but given such places in the market and that we travel frequently and use this type of accommodation we at least have a good idea of what is available comparatively. Unfortunately, for us, it was one of our less good experiences.

Kapokbosskuur is a surprising place in a village full of character.
We really enjoyed the stay at the Kapokbosskuur, and are happy to recommend it. The owner was accommodating in allowing us to take our two dogs with us, and followed up frequently with messages. The Kapokbosskuur is located on the edge of the village, and is easily accessible on foot to the core. If you are looking for absolute silence, the night noise of the neighborhood may be disturbing. The kitchen is neatly equipped with the essentials. Although we were aware of it, a microwave would have come in handy. The owner was also helpful in leaving wood for us by the fire pit outside, although we couldn't get our hands on a braai tong. The place is so full of character and unique that a complimentary little garden might do the trick. We can confidently recommend this place, and will definitely use it again in the future. Thanks to Reinet and her team.

Beste Nerina
Dankie vir jou moeite om terugvoering te gee oor jou verblyf by die Kapokbosskuur. Ek is jammer jy was nie tevrede nie.
Net 'n paar punte om ander reisigers helderheid te gee oor wat om te verwag. In die beskrywing op LekkeSlaap se webtuiste van die Kapokbosskuur, sal jy sien daar word nie melding gemaak van 'n mikrogolfoond of vuur hout nie. Ek voorsien dit nie normaalweg nie, maar sou jy vra sal ek dit met graagte voorsien het. Ek het vir jou gesê jy is welkom om my enige tyd te kontak sou jy iets nodig hê. Daar is ook verskeie winkels op die dorp waar jy wel kan vuur hout koop. So ook sou ek met graagte 'n ander vadoek gebring het alhoewel ek weet die vadoek was nie net skoon nie, maar ook vars.
Ek kan jou verseker die stort was nie nat nie, en daarom vuil nie, niemand het nog of sal ooit deur die vloer val nie.
