Rustig, weg van geraas en steurnis.

Rustig, weg van geraas en steurnis, enigste probleem is die sein vir selfoonopvangs is baie swak. Die plek beskik oor vol DSTV, maar of die sien of die dekodeerder gee probleme, dus byna geen TV opvangs.

Quiet, away from noise and disturbance.

Quiet, away from noise and disturbance, only problem is the signal for cell phone reception is very weak. The place has full DSTV, but either the viewer or the decoder gives problems, so almost no TV reception.

Baie mooi uitsig en lekker staproete.

Baie rustige plek met pragtige ligging en vriendelike diens. Lekker staproetes in die koppies en langs die rivier af. Die huisie het waarskynlik houe gevat tydens lockdown en het bietjie onderhoud nodig.

Very nice view and nice walking route.

Very peaceful place with beautiful location and friendly service. Nice walking routes in the hills and along the river. The cottage probably took a beating during lockdown and needs some maintenance.

Beautiful place.

Had a relaxed stay. Beautiful setting. Cottage fully equipped. Wooden floors need some attention. Locals in the area do play music until the early hours, unfortunately.

Blissful and serene stay.

The cabin is even more beautiful in person, all the kitchen and braai equipment required was available. Nice hiking trail available, beautiful scenery and more than sufficient privacy. Good host.

Die mooiste uitsig en die cottage het werklik alles wat 'n mens nodig het.

Die cottage het 'n pragtige uitsig, mooi berge en 'n pragtige waterval. Die hondjies het die skape en bokke vreeslik geniet, die ontvangs was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die rustigheid en vars lug was wonderlik.

The most beautiful view and the cottage really has everything one needs.

The cottage has a beautiful view, beautiful mountains and a beautiful waterfall. The dogs really enjoyed the sheep and goats, the reception was friendly and very helpful. The tranquility and fresh air was wonderful.

Huis is gaaf, maar het meer verwag.

Niks vis in die dam nie, en dis 'n forelplaas. Nie eers 1 in die dam voor die huis nie. Mense wat daar bly sien ons probeer vang, maar niemand sê niks. Toe ek vra "is hier vis", toe weet hulle self nie. Niks skoonmaakdiens nie.

Translate to English.

House is nice but expected more.

No fish in the pond, and it's a trout farm. Not even 1 in the pond in front of the house. People who live there see us trying to catch, but nobody says anything. When I asked "is there fish here", they themselves did not know. No cleaning service.

Galil Farm Cottage 's response

Terrible sorry you were so disappointed, but we don't market as a trout fishing 🎣 farm and our regular guests like the cottage to themselves that is why it's not serviced.

Ongelooflik netjies met geen probleme. Sal dit sterk aanbeveel.

Dit was so netjies en rustig. Sal dit vir enigiemand aanbeveel as hulle na stilte en rus soek. Net 'n waarskuwing: Sorg dat jy alles klaar gekoop het, want die tolpad is duur tensy jy nie bang is om grondpad te ry Dullstroom toe nie. Maar regtig waarde vir jou geld.

Incredibly neat with no problems. Would highly recommend it.

It was so neat and peaceful. Would recommend to anyone looking for peace and quiet. Just a warning: Make sure you've bought everything, because the toll road is expensive unless you're not afraid to drive the dirt road to Dullstroom. But really value for money.

Rustig, pragtige natuurskoon! Huisie baie goed toegerus.

Het ons verbly vreeslik geniet. Manne het ongelukkig geen vis gevang nie, nie eers 'n byt nie. Maar die uitsig oor die berge en die diere op die perseel was ongelooflik. Sal baie graag in die winter soontoe wil gaan om mis oor die berge en heerlike kaggelvuur in die huisie te ervaar. Sal definitief die plek aanbeveel.

Peaceful, beautiful scenery! Cottage very well equipped.

We really enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately men caught no fish, not even a bite. But the view of the mountains and the animals on the premises was incredible. Would really like to go there in the winter to experience fog over the mountains and lovely log fire in the cottage. Would definitely recommend the place.

Great stay.

One of my family members is in a wheelchair. Was concerned about entrance to cottage. Owner went the extra mile and even built an ramp to get into the cottage. Enjoyed the stay.

Rustige naweek in pragtige natuur.

Baie netjies en gerieflik.

Dit was so aangenaam om laataand daar aan te kom en so welkom te voel. Die kaggel was reeds gepak. Ons moes net die vuur aansteek en ontspan. Die uitsig en natuurskoon is pragtig. Ons sal definitief weer gaan. Net jammer geen forel gevang nie.

It was so nice to arrive late night and still feel so welcome. The fireplace was already stacked. We just had to light the fire and relax. The views and scenery were beautiful. We will definitely go again. Unfortunately we didn't catch any trout.

Wonderlike naweek.

Pragtige ligging. Huis is netjies en skoon, maar kort bietjie werk in plekke. Kombuis kort meer beligting en hout dek moet reggemaak word a.g.v. los planke. Andersins definitief die moeite werd. Julle sal ons weer sien!

Baie mooi en rustig, ideale wegbreek saam met gesin of vriende.

Luuks en gemaklik, home away from home. Alles wat jy nodig het is daar. Baie ruim en lekker leefhuisie. Warm in die winter en baie netjies, baie goed ingerig. Fantasties vir 'n rustige wegbreek, klein seuntjies geniet die buite speel om die dam en klim in die berg vreeslik. Kan ook lekker gaan stap en fietsry. Sal beslis weer gaan!
