I would recommend it to anyone of my friends and colleagues. It is situated in a very beautiful area.

Ons was baie beïndruk met die eenheid, veral die kombuisgedeelte. Ons waardeer ook al die noodsaaklike inligting wat ons ontvang het voor ons aankoms. Sal beslis weer daar oorslaap.

A peaceful stay.

The place is clean, beds are comfortable and the host manages communication throughout. The bedding is clean, and always fresh. We also appreciate the availability of fresh drinking water in the fridge. Thank you for the hospitality.

This place is an absolute gem. Management is well organized. Service, facilities and support is excellent. It has all the facilities one needs and is a wonderful place for a getaway. Looks new and I'm wondering if there are plans for a pool- that will be great.

Pragtig versorgde Country Lodge. Gasheer en personeel weet wat hulle doen, hulle mag maar! Dankie, Div. Jy het regtig uit jou pad gegaan om ons verblyf 'n plesier te maak. 'n Klein kas-tipe kitchenette kan 'n groot aanwins in die kamers wees.

Nice clean room.

We stayed in the rooms, not the chalets. I missed a bit of crockery and cutlery. Two plates, knives and forks would be a good addition to this lovely room. All the other (10 to be exact) rooms we stayed in on our road trip over 6000 km, had some kitchenware. The manager was very friendly. He kept in touch with is on the road. His instructions were very clear and he opened the lapa for us to braai. The place is halfway from Gauteng to Durban. So its a good location to stay. The Kit Kats were nice welcoming gifts.

Baie aangenaam en lekker rustige omgewing.

Dankie Kolla en Schalk vir die vriendelike en aangename atmosfeer wat julle daarstel. Ook vir die netjiese fasiliteite. Julle plek is uitstekende waarde vir geld en julle sal ons beslis in die toekoms weer sien. Ek kan julle ten sterkste aanbeveel as oorslaapplek vir vakansiegangers en beveel aan dat mense 'n dag of twee oorbly om die ryk geskiedenis van die omgewing te ontdek en julle ontspanningsgeriewe te benut.

Baie dankie aan die vriendelike personeel van Fort Mistake. Ons het gerieflik gebly en is 'n persoonlike gunsteling om bietjie weg te breek. Die plaas-atmosfeer en beeldskone natuur maak dit 'n uitsonderlike belewenis. Dis 'n rustige en gerieflike verblyf opsie tussen Ladysmith en Newcastle.

Pragtige plekkie en sal beslis weer hier wil kuier.

Die eienaars was ongelooflik behulpsaam en het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons so tuis as moontlik te laat voel. Hulle het soveel ekstras gedoen, selfs vir ons 'n heerlike mieliebroodjie gebak vir die braai. Ons kon vryelik op die plaas kom en gaan soos ons wou. Hoewel hulle nog besig is om te ontwikkel was ons geensins daardeur geraak nie. Hulle sal ons vir seker weer sien wanneer ons in daardie rigting kom. Beslis 'n wenner!

Beautiful place and would definitely like to visit here again.

The owners were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to make us feel as at home as possible. They did so many extras, even baked us a delicious cornbread for the barbecue. We were free to come and go on the farm as we pleased. Although they are still developing, we were not affected by it in any way. They will surely see us again when we come in that direction. Definitely a winner!

Fantasties!

Baie netjies en baie moeite gedoen deur hulle. Sal beslis weer daar gaan bly en kan dit enige tyd aanbeveel. Enigste ding is net dat 'n mens dalk iets wil warm maak en eet en daar is nie iets soos 'n mikrogolfoond nie. Colla het egter moeite gedoen om wel tydelik 'n mikrogolfoond vir ons te bring. Waardeer die moeite!
