Rest and recharge.
Had a great time and it was so quiet and peaceful. Dam a bit far from home but that's ok. Owner immediately filled a section that was a bit difficult to drive through and was then able to get there easily. Fridge doesn't get very cold forgot to mention this to owner. Other than that, everything was great. Thanks for the pleasant weekend.

Graham, dit was baie lekkel om julle so vinnig te ontmoer. Ons is dankbaar julle kon lekker rus en die stilte weg van die stad geniet. Die dam is ongeveer 1.5km weg van die huis. Indien mens nader wil wee is daar heerlike kam staanplek met badkamer en krag. Dit kan dalk volgende keer 'n gerieflike opsie vir julle wees.
Ek het groot waardering laat je se oor yskas, ons maak dit dadelik reg.
Dankie dat julle so aangename gesin was.

Weekend getaway.
The directions from Anzelle helped a lot so that we didn't take the wrong path. We were received very hospitably, and it was nice to go for a walk on the farm. Unfortunately it rained all Saturday, but we made a fireplace and played board games, (Anzelle even sent us games). Thank you Duncun for the help with the kombi's battery, as well as the extra ice, we really appreciated your hospitality and help. Emden Bass is a lovely break from the city. We would love to come back again to use the bass pond.

Daar is nie 'n ordentlike kombuis met 'n wasbak nie.
This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.
There is no decent kitchen with a sink.
There are only kitchen cabinets and a sink with cold water where you have to walk through a room to get to the sink. The kitchen cupboards and plates are therefore very far apart and there is only a small sink with cold water for washing dishes. It was very inconvenient when the house is full of people.

Baie dankie vir u resensie. Ons waardeer die terugvoer. Ons sal aandag daaraan gee. Ons wil wel noem die borde, ketel, mikrogolf, messe, vurke en alles wat in kombuis pas is in kombuis. Die opwas is wel op die stoep met eetkamer, braaier en sitkamer. Maar die fotos wys dit ook duidelik. So U sou dit vooraf kon sien. Ons het ook die dag voor aankoms n video gestuur wat 100% die uitleg wys. Ons hart is wel dat gaste nie skottelgoed moet was nie en daarom doen ons staff dit. Ons wil hê ons gaste moet plaas beleef. Ons vra om verskoning dat dit vir julle ongerieflik was. Baie dankie vir u terugvoer.

Quiet, neat and clean accommodation.
We had a great stay at Emden Bass. Everything was very clean, and very well organized, we were received kindly. The farm is quiet and safe with beautiful views and a very nice garden. It's quite a bit of dirt road to drive - no problem for a vehicle with good ground clearance, but smaller sedans may struggle a bit in places.

Don't judge someone by their jacket.
Great lack of proper kitchen facilities (ice/freezer, proper stove). When it's cold or raining hard, you won't be able to cook. Without the porch off and you can make a very nice dining/hanging out place. The atmosphere on the farm is peaceful. Take a lot of wood and Doom because it is used a lot, medical box, hospital is far, if someone gets injured. Fortunately, we at least tried to make the best of the situation. Will not go again because what you get does not justify the price compared to other places in the same price range. Bushwagons will be able to camp at the dam.

Tranquility as it can only be on a farm.
We were very hospitably received by Anzelle, a lovely person. She made us feel very much at home and if something was missing it was not a problem for her, The Melkstal is well furnished and we as a family had a wonderful stay.

Very quiet and beautiful view.
Although we booked just to have a place to sleep and use bathroom there were good and bad points: Good points - nice place, clean rooms, comfortable and very quiet if you want some quiet time. Bad points - the sheep hospital is right next to the rooms which attracts flies to the unit specially with the dead sheep lying there as well we saw the people on arrival to give the key and never again even checked out by key in by letting go and driving. So we just made do with toilet paper and the town is far away. I would just suggest letting people know that it is around 20 km of sandy road that you don't drive there with a road bike or low car. But I have to say that the positive definitely outweighs the negative and so I would advise any person to go and stay there.

Baie dankie vir jou opbouende boodskap. Ons gee in toekoms aandag daaraan om ons diens sodoende te verbeter. Ons waardeer dit.
Omdat julle Mighty Men toe was, was julle vroeg soggens uit en baie laat in die aand terug (soms na 22:00). Dit het maar veroorsaak laat ek jul nie gesien het nie. Ons gastehuis het 'n baie streng Sondag reël. Nie ons of ons arbeiders werk Sondae nie. Dit word in die huis se lêer ook so uiteengesit. Gaste boek op Sondae so laat as wat hulle wil uit. Tydens inboek noem ons vir gaste om ons te kontak indien hul enige iets kort.
Hier is 'n uitreksel waarin die grondpad se inligting aangedui word. Dis jammer jy't dit gemis toe jy bespreek het.
"Die asemrowende ongerepte mooi van die Oos Vrystaat sal jy nie op die teerpad kry nie, dit sal jou n opoffering van n klein stuk grondpad kos. Diep in die berge in waar jy gekoester sal word met stilte, vrede en spasie. Jy sal Plaas beleef, beeste, skape, perde, voëls, visse en alles wat daarmee saamgaan. Hier speel mense kaart, boereplaas, skaak, kinders stap vrylik rond. Ry zipline, swem. Speel klavier op stoep. Dis die plek waar jy net kan wees.......
Die plaas is sowat 19 km vanaf die Vrystaatse dorpie Fouriesburg geleë (12 km hiervan is grondpad). Emden is net 'n kort motorrit vanaf die Caledonspoort-grenspos in Lesotho.
Ons het 3 instansies
1. Hoofhuis
2. Die Melkstal
3. Kampering"
Groete,
Anzelle

Nice stay, but it wasn't worth it.
The owners are very friendly and we had a great time. There are some features that made the stay very difficult. - There is a 15km dirt road which is not indicated anywhere - No cell phone reception - no Wifi (Only one person gets wifi in case of emergency) - No stove - No sink in kitchen (Well outside - but only with cold water. We had to boil the kettle to wash dishes) - Wall heaters are available, but the rooms are so large, they have no impact. - One bathroom between 10 people is a bit bad - Each room has 2 double beds - for 4 adults to share a room is difficult. - The living room is outside - (We were there in winter) which was cold and uncomfortable. (You also share the living room with 4 dogs - we were dog people and didn't mind but can imagine that it might annoy other people) I originally chose the place because it was cheaper than staying in Clarens and thought it would be nice to stay in the mountains - but the drive there (thank goodness we had a 2x4 at least), how far it is , which you get for over R1000 a night was not worth it. I would have rather paid a little more and stayed closer with more comfort in rooms, bathrooms and even had kitchen facilities.
