Could not be improved on in terms of comfort, convenience and feeling welcome.

Carmiel is the most gracious hostess we've met for a long time. She made a point of checking on all our needs and joining us for a chat (without in any way impinging on our privacy). We felt by the time we left that we were friends with her. She personally served us a delicious breakfast the day we left. We had what was essentially a whole house to ourselves (originally built for Carmiel's parents-in-law), equipped with every mod con. Sitting on our private stoep admiring Carmiel's magnificent Water-wise garden, planted with spectacular succulents as befits the mainly dry climate at Patensie, enhanced the whole experience.

Heerlike verblyf. Ruim, skoon en netjies. Baie goed toegerus.

Die woonstel is in 'n lieflike tuin met pragtige plante en voëls. Kamers het beïndruk met handig bruikbare muurproppe. Genoeg en maklik verkrygbaar.

Gasvrye verblyf in Gamtoosvallei.

Gasvrye en vriendelike ontvangs deur eienaar. Tuin is 'n lushof! Ontbyt was puik. Sal beslis weer daar bly en aanbeveel by familie en vriende.

'n Huis weg van die huis.

Ons was heerlike verras met die netjiese en pragtige plek! Ruim kamers en sitkamer met 'n groot skerm televisie met volle DStv. Boonop het die vriendelike gasvrou ons gul ontvang en die vars melk, vrugtesap en waatlemoen was 'n heerlike lafenis op 'n baie warm dag. Boonop is daar 'n pragtige, privaat stoep wat uitkyk oor die mooi vallei. Volgende keer bly ons langer! Ideale plek om die Baviaanspoort vanaf te ontdek!

A home away from home.

We were pleasantly surprised with the neat and beautiful place! Spacious rooms and lounge with a large screen television with full DStv. In addition, the friendly hostess received us generously and the fresh milk, fruit juice and watermelon were a delicious treat on a very hot day. In addition, there is a beautiful, private veranda overlooking the beautiful valley. Next time we stay longer! Ideal place to discover the Baviaanspoort from!

Gasvryheid. Huislike gerieflikheid en bederf linne met 10 uit 10 netheid.

Vriendelike ontvangs met 'n warm plattelandse gasvryheid. Dankie vir goeie advies om ons verblyf en ervaring van Patensie onvergeetlik te maak. 'n Fees en waarde vir geld om in 'n eenheid te bly waar netheid en gerief as belangrike geag word.

Ons het terdeë geniet en die beskrywing van die plek op die internet doen nie die plek eer nie.

Dit is veel meer mooier in lewende lywe en ons kleinkind was in sy noppies. Dit was 'n baie lekker ervaring. Ons was heel stom geslaan deur die gas vryheid van die eienaars van Highview gaste huis. Die plek was baie netjies en skoon. Die dorpie het nie veel aktiwiteite nie maar die stilte en die gasvryheid van die mense maak op vir daai tekort.

Translate to English.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the description of the place on the internet does not do the place justice.

It is much more beautiful in living bodies and our grandson was in his element. It was a very nice experience. We were completely dumbfounded by the guest freedom of the owners of Highview guest house. The place was very neat and clean. The village does not have many activities, but the silence and the hospitality of the people make up for that deficit.

Waarde vir geld, gerieflik geleë, baie netjies, besondere gasvryheid!

Highview Guesthouse is bied baie gerieflike, goed ingerigte, netjiese en gehalte-akkommodasie! Alles wat nodig is vir selfsorg is daar en daar is lugversorging in die kamers en ook voorsiening vir wanneer dit koud sou wees. Wi-Fi is ook beskikbaar. Hierdie akkommodasie bied ABSOLUTE waarde vir geld. Die huis word uiters netjies in stand gehou en is gerieflik vir groter groepe ook. Ons het baie lekker hier tuisgegaan en hierdie akkommodasie plus die gasvrou verdien 5 sterre!

Value for money, conveniently located, very tidy, exceptional hospitality!

Highview Guesthouse offers very comfortable, well-furnished, neat and quality accommodation! Everything needed for self-catering is there and there is air conditioning in the rooms and also provisions for when it would be cold. Wi-Fi is also available. This accommodation offers ABSOLUTE value for money. The house is extremely neatly maintained and is convenient for larger groups as well. We had a great time staying here and this accommodation plus the hostess deserve 5 stars!

Mooi rustige, skoon en netjiese plek.

Wonderlike mense wat net wil hê jy moet tuis voel. Na 'n lang dag wat ons Gamkaskloof en Baviaanskloof gery het, was die rustigheid so welkom. Alhoewel elke kamer sy eie televisie het, het ons dit nie eers aangesit nie, want die rustigheid was vir ons genoeg. Ek het in die mooiste tuin gaan sit, by 'n watervalletjie en net die skoonheid om my met waardering beleef. Die plekkie is 'n spieëlbeeld van die pragtige mensies wat daar bly.

Nice quiet, clean and tidy place.

Wonderful people who just want you to feel at home. After a long day driving Gamkaskloof and Baviaanskloof, the tranquility was so welcome. Although each room has its own television, we didn't even turn it on because the tranquility was enough for us. I sat in the most beautiful garden, by a small waterfall and just experienced the beauty around me with appreciation. The place is a reflection of the beautiful people who live there.
