Beautiful, peaceful camping experience.

We had a wonderful, quiet stay at this beautiful farm. It was a bit of a bumpy drive down the gravel road, but worth it for the views!

Heerlike Paasnaweek!

Ons weet nie regtig waar om te begin nie. Vooraf was Ryna so behulpsaam met alle vrae wat ek gehad het. Wat 'n wonderlike naweek met fantastiese geriewe, luuks en toeganklik. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het was beskikbaar. Hout te koop op die plaas, 'n massiewe sak teen 'n baie billike prys. Heerlike 4x4-roete om te ry met die pragtige natuurskoon. Die lekkerste was die rustige kamp-atmosfeer en my gunsteling om wakker te raak met voëls wat chirp, lammetjies en bokkies wat jy hoor en die haan wat kraai. Wou nie afskeid neem van hierdie plaas nie. Dankie Kosie en Ryna, julle gaan ons beslis binnekort weer sien! Ons siele is gevoed na die naweek.

Have a great Easter weekend!

We don't really know where to start. Beforehand Ryna was so helpful with all questions I had. What a great weekend with fantastic facilities, luxurious and accessible. Everything we needed was available. Wood for sale on the farm, a massive bag at a very reasonable price. Great 4x4 route to drive with the beautiful scenery. The most enjoyable was the peaceful camp atmosphere and my favorite was waking up to birds chirping, lambs and goats you hear and the rooster crowing. Didn't want to say goodbye to this farm. Thank you Kosie and Ryna, you will definitely see us again soon! Our souls are fed after the weekend.

Lekker rustige, mooi, troeteldiervriendelike plek met baie voëls.

Netjiese grasperke op die staanplekke. Geriewe is basies en skoon maar voldoende. As die oord vol raak sal die geriewe seker onder druk kom. Die eienaars moet seker net besoekers vooraf in kennis stel om hul eie drinkwater en toiletpapier saam te bring.

Nice peaceful, beautiful, pet friendly place with lots of birds.

Neat lawns on the pitches. Amenities are basic and clean but adequate. If the resort fills up, the facilities will surely come under pressure. The owners should probably just notify visitors in advance to bring their own drinking water and toilet paper.

Great stay, beautiful place.

Beautiful view and surroundings with a lovely large grassed campsite. A really relaxing and quiet overnight stay en route to the Eastern Cape. We wish we had booked an extra night or two and will definitely go back.

Bietjie uitdagend vir ou motorhome. Mooi en rustig.

Ek is bly ons was daar, maar as ek twyfel of ek dit sou waag as ek die pad vooraf geweet het. Die grondpad van Albertinia was gangbaar teen 30 km/u en nie te lank nie. 15km. Die laaste dip na die rivier toe was erg, maar ek het al geleer dat die opdraende makliker is. Die kampplek was baie mooi, maar ook effe afdraende. Die kampplek was baie lekker en rustig. Slegs een mede-besoeker. Die omgewing is indrukwekkend langs die rivier. Die ablusie was in opknap, maar ons kon een ongehinderd gebruik. Die warm stort het bietjie geduld geverg. Gas. Dus bietjie rof vir ons, maar ek is bly ons was daar.

A bit challenging for old motorhomes. Nice and quiet.

I'm glad we were there, but if I doubt I would have ventured if I knew the way beforehand. The dirt road from Albertinia was passable at 30 km/h and not too long. 15 km. The last dip to the river was bad, but I've already learned that the ascent is easier. The campsite was very beautiful, but also a bit downhill. The campsite was very nice and peaceful. Only one co-visitor. The setting is impressive along the river. The ablution was under renovation, but we could use one unimpeded. The hot shower required some patience. Gas. So a bit rough for us, but I'm glad we were there.

Die staanplek het baie spaasie en die omgewing was perfek.

Vuurmaakhout en drinkwater is beskikbaar by die kantoor. Verder hoef jy self voorsiening te maak vir alles. Daar is genoeg om jou besig te kan hou met stap, swem en fietsritte. 'n Ekstra badkamer of twee sou nie mis gaan nie

The stand has plenty of space and the setting was perfect.

Firewood and drinking water are available at the office. Furthermore, you have to provide for everything yourself. There is enough to keep you busy with walking, swimming and cycling. An extra bathroom or two wouldn't go amiss

Ongelooflike rustige naweek in die natuur.

Ons het 'n wonderlike Paasnaweek geniet op die plaas met die plaasdiere wat om ons wei. Die omgewing en die kampterrein was skoon en netjies gewees. Ek was bietjie teleurgestel met al die honde wat toegelaat was op die kampterrein, wat na vrye wil rond gehardloop het sonder enige halsbande. Ons het op 'n stadium 7 honde getel. Die bergfietsroetes was besonder mooi. Ons sal vir seker weer kom kuier.

Unbelievably peaceful weekend in nature.

We enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend on the farm with the farm animals grazing around us. The surroundings and the campsite were clean and tidy. I was a bit disappointed with all the dogs that were allowed on the campsite, running around at will without any collars. At one point we counted 7 dogs. The mountain bike trails were particularly beautiful. We will definitely visit again.

Baie lekker plekkie!

Buiten die koue was dit 'n awesome wegbreek. Baie rustige plekkie en ongelooflike mooi natuurlewe het ons omring. Sal beslis weer gaan. Ek dink net daar moet 'n spotlight iewers wees, dalk nie té helder nie, maar helder genoeg om rondom jou te sien. Die sterreprag is verstommend mooi.

Besides the cold, it was an awesome getaway. Very quiet place and amazingly beautiful wildlife surrounded us. Will definitely go again. I just think there should be a spotlight somewhere, maybe not too bright, but bright enough to see around you. The starry skies is amazingly beautiful.

Aangenaam.

Die badkamers is bietjie ver van die onderste staanplekke, asook die kragpunte. Ons het nie geweet dat daar geen drinkwater sou wees by die kamp nie ─ die besprekings kon dit net gestipuleer het. 'n Selfbedien/ 'honesty' boks kan bygesit word en hout, water en ys kan beskikbaar gestel word vir kampers. Dan hoef mens nie al die pad terug te ry Albertinia toe as jy dit dalk vergeet het nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Pleasant.

The bathrooms are a bit far from the lower pitches, as are the power points. We did not know that there would be no drinking water at the camp ─ the reservations could only have stipulated that. A self-serve/ 'honesty' box can be added and wood, water and ice can be made available for campers. Then you don't have to drive all the way back to Albertinia if you might have forgotten it.

Dit is in 'n begin-stadium. Dames en mans gebruik dieselfde toilettte en storte. Ek hou glad nie daarvan nie.

Daar is nie kragpunte nie. Die toilette en storte word deur mans en dames gedeel. Die deure van die toilette en storte is kort, as jy verbyloop en iemand kyk in die rigting, kan jy alles sien. Ek gee nie om as die dames en mans apart is nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

In its start-up phase. Ladies and gents use the same toilets and showers. I didn't like that at all.

There are no power outlets. The showers and toilets are shared by ladies and gents. The doors of the toilets and the showers are short, so if you walk by and someone is facing your way you can basically see everything. I wouldn't have minded if the ladies and gents were separated.
