Ons het nie gekry waarvoor ons gevra het nie.

Netjiese plekkie, gerieflik vir 2 volwassenes. Dit het net 1 dubbelbed, geriewe is nie geskik vir meer as 2 mense nie. Benodig 'n high ride of 4x4 voertuig om daar te kom.

We didn't get what we asked for.

Neat place, comfortable for 2 adults. It only has 1 double bed, facilities are not suitable for more than 2 people. Need a high ride or 4x4 vehicle to get there.

Joubertskraal Farm 's response

Dear Christie, thank you so much for your review. We're really sorry that there was a misunderstanding about the sleeper couch in the lounge. The error made by our staff member won't be repeated, and we are very thankful that you're satisfied with our attempts to rectify the situation. We strive to provide excellent customer service and we hope this anomalous rating will not deter prospective guests - and please, do get in touch if you wish to query the nature of the misunderstanding. Looking forward to seeing you back someday on our farm Christie, with a sleeper couch this time. Warm regards, Saskia & Anton.

Mooier as mooi!

Ń Ongelooflike ervaring! Die rit na die kothuis is besonders. Ry stadig en geniet dit. Die kothuis en uitsig is mooier as die fotos. Die kommunikasie skitterend en die moeite met klein goedjies soos vars blommetjie maak dit spesiaal. Ons gaan vir seker terug - en vir langer!

Ń Incredible experience! The drive to the cottage is special. Drive slowly and enjoy it. The cottage and view are more beautiful than the photos. The communication is brilliant and the effort with small things like fresh flowers makes it special. We are going back for sure - and for longer!

An absolutely perfect off-the-grid remote environment.

We enjoyed the beautifully renovated authentic farmhouse with every attention to detail that you could think of. Saskia was very helpful and friendly. The environment, remoteness, and the space to unwind, relax, and disconnect from the outside world were inspiring.

Lieflik. Ontspannend. Rustig.

Die Joubertskraal-kothuis is 'n stukkie hemel! Die atmosfeer is ontspanne en gemaklik. Die eenheid self is ongelooflik netjies en lieflik afgerond. Die pad na die eenheid toe is rof, maar dit moet nie jou afsit van die rit nie, want dit is beslis 'n wonderlike ervaring!

The Joubertskraal cottage is a little piece of heaven! The atmosphere is so relaxing and comfortable. The unit itself is incredibly neat and has lovely finishes. The road to the unit is rough, but don't let that put you off the drive, because it is definitely a wonderful experience!

The cottage is charming and beautifully presented, the walks on the farm are breathtakingly beautiful and the hosts are amazing, not least of all in their balance of making sure you are taken care of while ensuring you are left to enjoy the peace.

'n Perfekte plekkie om van die wêreld afgesny te wees.

As jy soek na 'n plek waar jy nie met 'n selfoon, TV en WiFi te doen wil hê nie, dan is Joubertskraal die plek vir jou. Die geskiedenis agter die Pepper Tree Cottage is merkwaardig. Die vars groente uit Saskia se "veggie patch" was iets besonders. Dan die kolestofie bring kleintyd-heringeringe terug, ons het elke aand kos gemaak op die kolestofie. Ons dae was vol van fietsry en stap in die berge en daardeur baie wild gesien. Saans het ons na die sterre gekyk. Baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid, julle het 'n wen resep beet. Hou so aan!

A perfect place to be cut off from the world.

If you are looking for a place where you don't want to deal with a mobile phone, TV and WiFi, then Joubertskraal is the place for you. The history behind the Pepper Tree Cottage is remarkable. The fresh vegetables from Saskia's "veggie patch" were something special. Then the charcoal stove brings back childhood memories, we cooked food on the charcoal stove every night. Our days were full of cycling and walking in the mountains and thus saw a lot of wildlife. In the evening we looked at the stars. Thank you very much for your hospitality, you have a winning recipe. Keep it up!

Geskiedkundige huisie, versteek in die klowe.

Historiese en baie goed toegeruste huis in 'n pragtige, nou valleitjie. Ideaal vir 2 mense wat hou van afsondering en gerief. Die bos vars groente en kruie in die kombuis was 'n wenner. Jammer ons kon nie langer bly om die staproetes te verken nie.

Historic cottage, hidden in the ravines.

Historic and very well equipped house in a beautiful narrow valley. Ideal for 2 people who like seclusion and comfort. The bunch of fresh vegetables and herbs in the kitchen was a winner. Sorry we couldn't stay longer to explore the hiking trails.

Nice place, damn far to drive in over beautiful mountains.

Place is beautifully restored, friendly manager, everything was 100%. I wish there were burglar bars in front of the windows because anyone would be able to climb through, even if the possibility is very small, even that plastic, translucent type would make one sleep more soundly. Will come round again, but this time with a 4x4 in case it's wet and slippery.

Stylvol, gerieflik, smaaklvol, rustig, vars en skoon, absoluut fantasties.

Ons was verwelkom met 'n vuurtjie wat brand, die koolstofie was aan om die huisie te verhit. Ons het laat daar aangekom so Edward het ons stoele reg gesit by die vuurtjie terwyl die sterreprag vir ons gewag het. Ons het die tyd weg van die stad geniet.

Die pragtige gerestoureerde huis is volledig toegerus en die bad was 'n besonderse bederf. Die koolstoof vir hitte het ons teruggevat na kuiers by ouma en oupa. Die gasheer was vriendelik en ontvangs was baie verwelkomend. Die kinders het die ruimte en die berge baie geniet.

The perfect getaway.

Our stay at Joubertskraal Farm was everything and more than we hoped for. Saskia made us feel welcome even before we arrived on the farm - her communication with us was super. The cottage was absolutely charming. We loved everything about it. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, the lovely walks, sitting on the stoep just watching the day goes by. Hein loved the mountain bike routes. Anton made sure we had the most amazing fire wood and braai. It was a wonderful weekend away. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Saskia, Anton and Murray-John.
