Natuurskoon en rustigheid.

So mooi en rustig. Honde het baljaar op die gras en in die rivier. Afgeskakel en die natuur beleef!

Nature and tranquility.

So beautiful and peaceful. Dogs frolicked on the grass and in the river. Switched off and experienced nature!

Beautiful setting, peaceful and totally relaxing.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Die Skoolhuisie. Peace and quiet and a beautiful retreat from the busy city life. The hospitality of the owner was exceptional, and nothing was too much for her to ensure that our stay was perfect. Although there was no cellphone or WiFi at Die Skoolhuisie, the owner allowed us to use her WiFi at the adjoining Pizza Place.

Great.

John was there to show me around when I arrived and lit the donkey so I could have a hot shower. Quaint and simple, but great to get away from the hustle and bustle. Such an unusual lovely little place is Die Skoolhuisie and Prince Alfred Pass is beautiful to drive. The bathroom is separate, but the bedroom and kitchen are all one large room. Lovely fireplace inside for cold days/nights and a fireplace on the stoep with a good view.

Eenvoudig gegrond.

Rustige, gerieflike verblyf binne 'n geskiedkundige ruimte. Sielsverkwikkend as jy daarvan hou om jouself te grond.

Quiet, comfortable accommodation within a historic space. Soul refreshing if you like to ground yourself.

Was te kort. Sou langer wou bly en rustigheid geniet.

Die Skoolhuisie het aan ons verwagtinge voldoen. Ek was bietjie siek en kon nie die mooi plekkie so geniet soos ek sou wou nie. My man het die stoepsittery en vuurmaak baie geniet. Daar is soveel heerlike storieboeke. Ek het 'n maand daar moet bly om als te kan lees. Die dubbelbed slaap heerlik. John is baie vriendelik en het ons mooi gewys hoe als werk. En tip: moet net nie verwag om dadelik 'n warm bad of stort te kan neem nie. Die donkie moet daarvoor eers gestook word. Regte ouwêreldse ervaring.

Was too short. Would have liked to stay longer and enjoy tranquility.

The School House met our expectations. I was a little sick and couldn't enjoy the beautiful place as much as I would have liked. My husband really enjoyed sitting on the porch and making a fire. There are so many wonderful story books. I had to stay there for a month to be able to read everything. The double bed sleeps wonderfully. John is very friendly and showed us how als works. And tip: just don't expect to be able to take a hot bath or shower right away. The donkey must first be stoked for that. Real old world experience.

Off the grid, farm style house.

Off the grid. Enjoyed the donkey to make warm water. Indoor fireplace with wood provided was my favourite.

Baie dankie vir die wonderlike aandjie.

Nostalgies. Prins Albert pas was 'n wondelike ervaring op sy eie. Die Skoolhuisie was die beloning. Vriendelike ontvangs, die donkie was reeds aangesteek vir warm water, hout gekap vir 'n vuurtjie, solarliggies in plek en ons kon net afpak en lekker rustig ontspan. Die Skoolhuisie kom niks tekort nie en kan dit beslis aanbeveel vir gaste wat bereid is om van "luxuries" vir 'n wyle te vergeet. Baie dankie, "Die Skoolhuisie", ons het lekker gebly.

Thank you very much for the wonderful evening.

Nostalgic. Prince Albert pass was a traumatic experience on its own. The Schoolhouse was the reward. Friendly reception, the donkey was already lit for hot water, wood chopped for a fire, solar lights in place and we could just pack up and relax. Die Skoolhuisie lacks nothing and can certainly recommend it to guests who are willing to forget about "luxuries" for a while. Thank you very much, "Die Skoolhuisie", we had a great stay.

Awesome.

Dit was 'n heerlike ervaring by Die Skoolhuisie, goeie ligging en uitsig op die pas! Alles wat nodig is, was daar en die swembad was welkom op 'n warm middag.

Beautiful drive to a peaceful destination.

We used this as a stop over destination on a road trip to Sedgefield from Johannesburg. Die Skoolhuisie is the perfect location to stay over for anyone wanting to experience the scenic drive of the Prince Alfred pass. Totally off grid, peaceful and comfortable.

Ongelooflike plekkie net diep geskiedenis en wonderlike uitsig. Die pas is pragtig.
