Heerlike wegbreek in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Ons verkies om meestal in selfsorgeenhede te bly wanneer ons wegbreek. Ons eenheid by Fonteinskloof het alles wat mens moontlik sou nodig hê gehad. Michael was 'n goeie gasheer en het die ekstra myl gegaan om seker te maak alles is reg. Ons kon hom met gemak kontak indien ons hulp/inligting nodig gehad het. Ons jong dogters, 8 en 6 jaar oud, kon veilig rondbeweeg en het die swembad volop benut, al was dit effens koel.

Lovely break in a beautiful setting.

We prefer to stay mostly in self-catering units when we go away. Our unit at Fonteinskloof had everything one could possibly need. Michael was a great host and went the extra mile to make sure everything was ok. We could easily contact him if we needed help/information. Our young daughters, 8 and 6 years old, were able to move around safely and made full use of the pool, even if it was a bit cool.

Our visit to Fonteinskloof exceeded our expectations. Accommodation was clean on arrival, and welcoming. We enjoyed the game drive with our 2 year old and was amazed at the size and beauty of the entire farm. We will definitely be back for another stay, with more family/friends.

Baie aangename ervaring, goeie geriewe vir oud en jonk, persoonlike aandag wonderlik.

Het regtig baie lekker gekuier. Pragtige omgewing naby Swellendam en omliggende dorpe. Geriewe was uitstekend en die eienaar en bestuurder was baie gasvry en hulpvaardig. Wildrit was ook 'n hoogtepunt. Geriewe so beplan dat dit gebruik kan word onder alle weersomstandighede. Omgewing veilig.

Die ongerepte natuurskoon en die pragtige eko-huis het ons vir 'n 6 geslaan, ongelooflik!

Baie dankie Michael wat ons ontvang het, ons het sommer van begins af tuis gevoel. Ons was 'n groep van 8 persone en het sommer almal met my Isuzu dubbel kajuit gery en agter in het my suster en ons vriendin Annelise en die mooie Helga gesit, en op pad na die eko-huis waarna Michael ons vergesel het, was die drie dames op hul knieë, soos honde wat karre jaag, om na al die wild te kyk soos ons deur die wild kampe gery het, soveel so dat Annelise haar kop teen die kappie van die bakkie gestamp het oor die ruwe paadjie na bo waar die pragtige rustic ekohuis op ons gewag het. Dit is dan daar waar 'n ongelooflike naweek van saam kuier en gesels en die verwondering van die natuurskoon op ons gewag het. Ons was sprakeloos gelaat, korreksie, van ons was sprakeloos, en dan was daar dié wat alles wat hul sien in woorde in 'n stemtoon van verbasing en verwondering omgeskakel het, wow kyk hier julle, kyk die perdjies, ag moeder ma, en so het dit aangegaan. Baie dankie Fonteinskloof, dit was voorwaar 'n onvergeetlike wegbreek na 'n juweel van 'n plek wat jul daar teen die voet van die Langeberge koester, ons kom kuier vir seker weer. Groete van die Weskus pêlle.

The unspoiled natural beauty and the beautiful eco house hit us for a 6, amazing!

Thank you very much Michael for welcoming us, we felt at home right from the start. We were a group of 8 people and simply all drove with my Isuzu double cab and in the back sat my sister and our friend Annelise and the beautiful Helga, and on the way to the eco-house after which Michael accompanied us, the three ladies on their knees, like dogs chasing carts, to look at all the game as we drove through the game camps, so much so that Annelise bumped her head against the hood of the van over the rough path to the top where the beautiful rustic eco house was waiting for us. It is then there that an incredible weekend of visiting and talking together and the wonder of the natural beauty awaited us. We were left speechless, correction, some of us were speechless, and then there were those who put everything they saw into words in a tone of surprise and wonder, wow look here you, look at the little horses, oh mother mother, and so on it went on. Thank you very much Fonteinskloof, it was truly an unforgettable getaway to a jewel of a place that you cherish at the foot of the Langeberge, we will definitely come to visit again. Greetings from the West Coast pals.

Fonteinskloof Farm 's response

Hi Stefan ,

Thanks so much for using Fonteinskloof. I really hope that I will meet you in the future. Thank you very much for your review. This is greatly appreciated. I was a little disturbed to see that our cleanliness rating was weak and I would really appreciate if you could assist me in attending to the areas that were not properly cleaned as we have prided ourselves on cleanliness but were unfortunately not present and I would like to indicate to Michael the areas we can improve on. Thanks once again for visiting Fonteinskloof and all the best to you and your family .
Regards
William (Billy) O'Grady
