Pleasant stay.

We had a pleasant stay and will call again. Located out of town so you can enjoy the quietness of nature.

Rustig, vreedsaam, sielsverrykend.

Uit die staanspoor was die kommunikasie nog voor ek ingeboek het fantasties, met aanwysings, telefoonnommers en besonderhede. By aankoms was ek vriendelik gegroet, gewys waar my verblyf is en die basiese inligting van die perseel gegee. Die rustigheid en netheid het my in vervoering. Ek het dadelik tuis en veilig gevoel - asof ek by jarelange vriende bly. Ek sal definitief weer daar aanklop vir verblyf en met groot liefde verblyf aanbeveel daar.

Calm, peaceful, soul-enriching.

From the outset the communication even before I checked in was fantastic, with directions, phone numbers and details. On arrival I was greeted kindly, shown where my accommodation was and given the basic information of the premises. The tranquility and cleanliness captivated me. I immediately felt at home and safe - like I was staying with long-time friends. I will definitely call there again for accommodation and recommend accommodation there with great love.

Baie pragtig en rustig en stil en veilige akkommodasie.

Douglas Drift is 'n absolute aanbeveling. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik en ordentlik en hou hulle plek baie skoon. Die plekkie is bietjie uit die dorp so daar is rustigheid sonder enige geraas.

Douglas Drift is an absolute recommendation. The owners are very friendly and decent and keep their place very clean. The place is a bit out of town so there is tranquility without any noise.

Baie oulik en goed ingerig!

Na ons net moes sukkel om iemand in die hande te kry om te sê ons gaan laat wees was dit tog die moeite werd! Baie dankie aan die eienaar wat geduldig vir ons gewag het tot amper 12 uur die nag en ons hartlik welkom geheet het al was dit vrek koud buite! Die warm kamer, koffie en bed was net wat ons nodig gehad het! Ons sal definitief weer by julle tuisgaan!

After struggling to get hold of someone to say we were going to be late it was worth it! Many thanks to the owner who patiently waited for us until almost 12 o'clock at night and gave us a warm welcome even though it was damn cold outside! The warm room, coffee and bed were just what we needed! We will definitely stay with you again!

Pragtige ligging, skoon en netjies.

Douglas Drift is in 'n pragtige omgewing geleë. Die gemeenskaplike kombuis het alles wat mens nodig het en is 'n heerlike kuierspasie. Die eienaars doen ekstra moeite om mens tuis te laat voel, soos die warmkombers op die heerlike snoesige bed.

Douglas Drift is located in a beautiful area. The communal kitchen has everything one needs and is a great space to cook together. The owners make an effort to make you feel at home, like the warm blanket on the lovely cuddly bed.

Koud, maar lekker in die berge.

Diens was baie goed gewees en vriendelik genoeg. Kombuis is baie modern en netjies en 'n mens mag gebruik maak daarvan. Ek stel voor hulle sit verwarmers/muurverwarmers in die kamers om dit warmer te maak. Ons het gevries van die koue omdat ons nie glo of dink dit is veilig om elektriese komberse aan te skakel nie. Ek stel ook voor hulle gee meer opsies van verskillende kussings sodat jou nek nie seer is die volgende dag veral ná 'n lang rit nie. Verder was die diens baie goed gewees en kon lekker sit en braai in privaatheid.

Cold, but nice in the mountains.

Service was very good and friendly enough. Kitchen is very modern and neat and one may use it. I suggest they put heaters/wall heaters in the rooms to make it warmer. We froze from the cold because we don't believe or think it's safe to turn on electric blankets. I also suggest they give more options of different pillows so your neck doesn't hurt the next day especially after a long ride. Furthermore, the service was very good and I was able to sit and grill in privacy.

Perfect for guests who will not stay longer than two nights in Underberg.

Although the place is close to everything, it is far because the road is not really suitable for any car other than a 4x4. The area is beautiful and the view is really something for the books.

Rustig, lieflike uitsig oor die rivier.

Ons het heerlik gekuier op Douglas Drift en met die ander gaste gesellig gekuier in die gemeenskaplike kombuis.

Die ideale privaat vakansiestop naby die berg!

Pragtige uitsig met 'n oggendstappie na die rivier het heerlik verras. Knus, goeie beddegoed en netjiese plekkie met al die nodige ablusies in plek. Die kombuisdeel was volledig toegerus en was geen probleem nie, want ons was alleen. Ons was meestal uit so dit was lekker om by die 'huis' te kom en mekaar se geselskap te geniet. Baie vriendelike eienaars. Sal weer oorbly.

The ideal private holiday stop close to the mountain!

Beautiful view with a morning walk to the river was a wonderful surprise. Cosy, good bedding and neat place with all the necessary ablutions in place. The kitchen area was fully equipped and was not a problem because we were alone. We were mostly out so it was nice to come "home" to enjoy one another's company. Very friendly owners. Will stay there again.

The address is 10 Scottson Road, not 12 Douglas View. Clean, comfortable and affordable.

We enjoyed our stay at Douglas View, the accommodation was clean, comfortable and affordable. Close to the shops and Sani Pass. The owner allowed us to store our motorcycles in a safe place, which made us very happy.

'n Pragtige plek, rustig, veilig, fantastiese gasvryheid!

Ons het ons verblyf op Douglas View vreeslik baie geniet. Wonderlike, gasvrye mense. Niks was vir hulle te veel moeite om ons verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak nie!
