Rustig en heerlik, naby die natuur. Ons het die bobbejane in die berge gehoor, maar hul het nie naby gekom nie.

Peaceful and lovely, close to nature. We heard the baboons in the mountains, but they didn't come close.
We really had a great time. It made me long for my growing up days on the farm. Our hostess was very nice and informed us about the location and how things worked in a timely manner. There was up to battery power in the "load shedding" time. The kitchen was so cozy, we had a great time around the table with the view of the pond. Thank you very much, Lenie, for the nice visit, I hope we will be back soon. Oh yes, I almost forgot about the dear Diesel. This dog has the heart of a lion, he looked after us as if we were his owner. We enjoyed him terribly. He goes for walks with us and in the evenings he goes to do his inspections around the house. Too cute.

Quiet and rustic.
The house is located at the top of the mountain and you have lovely views of the farm and farm pond. It's peaceful but not suitable for young children (no grass area and small porch). Note that although there is 'Netflix' on the TV, you must use your own account to subscribe.

Difficult to describe the tranquility and silence. One "hears" the silence. Night sounds nice to listen to. See the firmament clearly at night. Place is located in such a way that various attractions are around, many places to see. All facilities needed are available in the house, as well as outside. Will definitely go again.

Hi Hannah, so glad you enjoyed your stay at the Uilhuisie. Sorry about the carport shade, the wind took it off and my husband replaced it last week. Me and my family go for regular swims in the dam. The water can be a bit chilly, and if you don't mind the mud, it's quite refreshing. Thank you for your beautiful review. Please come and visit again.

Ek is jammer dat jy stof gehad het. Ons probeer ons bes om dit altyd so skoon en netjies as moontlik aan gaste te gee, maar omdat dit op plaas geleë is, en ons maar die tyd van die jaar baie wind kry, kom daar soms weer stof in.

Cute little farmhouse surrounded by beautiful nature. It has a lot of potential but needs maintenance and sprucing up.
The location is picturesque. The cottage is very close to the mountain, with a view over the pond and farm landscape. The cottage has a lot of character, with thick walls, a large fireplace/fireplace and antique furniture. We were welcomed with a nice tin of biscuits. The stars at night are incredibly beautiful. There were gas plates but no matches or lighter. The one faucet in the bathroom could not be opened. The tub leaks when the water line reaches the drain outlet. There are only sheets on the single beds. There was only one towel available. The kitchen sink only has a cold tap. The fridge froze our food.

Our stay at Uilhuisie was fantastic. The silence under the mountain was fantastic. My children thoroughly enjoyed the pond and in the evenings the night sky was close by and the conversation around the fire was a highlight. We were next to the pond in the hottest part of the day when Lenie, the hostess arrived with delicious ice cold watermelon. The watermelon didn't last long. I will gladly return to Die Uilhuisie.

The Uilhuisie was perfect for our family's needs - mother and father and four-year-old boy. The place was clean and not once did we feel unsafe. The hostess, Lenie, was excellent - especially when our car broke down on the way there. She let us know not to stress and sent messages all the time to see how we were progressing. She even put out an extra trampoline for my son - he thoroughly enjoyed it. For him, the trampoline and the 'weekend dog' were the highlight of the weekend. We will definitely stop at the Uilhuisie again.

The Uilhuisie is a cute little house in a beautiful location with a nice view and a lovely pond to swim in.
We enjoyed our stay. It was difficult to sleep in the bedroom when the wind was blowing strongly - there was a lot of noise with the roof panels. The manager was very friendly and helpful and made an effort to sort out problems. I feel R500 per night is too much for the simplicity of facilities and small space of the house. I also think the house should be cleaner on arrival. Our favorite activity was swimming in the lovely water of the pond while the children played with pond clay. The view is incredible.
