Was baie lekker gewees.

Het baie lekker gebly, al die geriewe was puik. Daar is net te min rigtingaanwysings na die Kliphuis toe.

It was very nice.

Had a very nice stay, all the facilities were great. There are just too few directions to the Kliphuis.

Voor die kaggelvuur in die Koue Bokkeveld.

Ons verblyf by Kliphuis @ Slangboskloof was heerlik gewees. Groot vuurherd / kaggel. Oorvloed vuurmaakhout is voorsien. Volledig toegeruste kombuis. Omgewing met dam en berge is baie mooi. Baie rustig. Ideaal vir 'n naweek wegbreek. Geen sein en geen WiFi, wat ek persoonlik waardeer het.

In front of the fireplace in the Koue Bokkeveld.

Our stay at Kliphuis @ Slangboskloof was wonderful. Large hearth / fireplace. Plenty of firewood was provided. Fully equipped kitchen. Environment with pond and mountains is very beautiful. Very calm. Ideal for a weekend getaway. No signal and no WiFi, which I personally appreciated.

Idilliese ligging nie so idilliese verblyf nie! Nie die geld werd nie!

Die ligging is idillies, maar die huisie nie soveel nie. Die huis het baie onderhoud nodig; die stoele was stukkend, die sambreel was gebroke sowel as die stort. Die toeknyproosters was oud en stukkend. Die huis was nie ordentlik skoon gemaak toe ons daar aangekom het nie; die vorige mense se gemors was nog in die asblikke en die vlieë het ons kos uit ons monde uit ge-eet (ek het nog nooit soveel vlieë in my lewe gesien nie, so vat maar 5 kannes Doom saam). Die plek het soveel potensiaal, maar die toestand van die huis laat dit in die steek! Skoonmaakmiddels sou waardeer word as 'n basiese gegewe. Vir die prys wat ons betaal het en vir wat ons gekry het, sou ek dit nie aanbeveel nie. Ek weet mens betaal vir die view, maar dan wil jy ook die waarde in die verblyf sien!

Idyllic location, not so idyllic accommodation! Not worth the money!

The location is idyllic, but the house not so much. The house needs a lot of maintenance; the chairs were broken, the umbrella was broken as well as the shower. The shutters were old and broken. The house had not been properly cleaned when we arrived; the previous people's rubbish was still in the bins and the flies were eating our food out of our mouths (I have never seen so many flies in my life, so take 5 cans of Doom with you). The place has so much potential, but the condition of the house lets it down! Cleaning products would be appreciated as a basic given. For the price we paid and for what we got, I would not recommend it. I know you pay for the view, but then you also want to see the value in the accommodation!

Hallo Giorgio

Baie dankie dat u die tyd geneem het om u ervaring met ons te deel. Ons waardeer regtig u eerlike terugvoer, want dit help ons om ons diens en geriewe te verbeter.

Ons is baie jammer om te hoor dat u verblyf nie aan u verwagtinge voldoen het nie. Ons wil graag reageer op die kwessies wat u genoem het:

Ons vra om verskoning vir enige ongerief wat deur die toestand van die huisie veroorsaak is. Ons sal die gebroke stoele, sambreel, stort en toeknyproosters dadelik aanspreek om seker te maak alles is in werkende toestand.
Wat skoonmaak betref, is dit glad nie die standaard wat ons vir ons gaste wil stel nie. Ons sal hierdie saak dringend met ons skoonmaakspan bespreek om te verseker dat so iets nie weer gebeur nie.
Ons neem kennis van die oorlas wat die vlieë veroorsaak het. Ons het reeds sommige maatreëls in plek gestel soos 'n outomatiese gif 'dispenser' en lokvalle buite op die perseel.
Ons sal ook oorweeg om skoonmaakmiddels as standaard by ons huisie beskikbaar te stel, soos deur u voorgestel.
Ons verstaan dat u meer waarde vir die prys verwag het, en ons is jammer dat ons nie daarin geslaag het om aan daardie verwagtinge te voldoen nie. Ons hoop opreg dat ons in die toekoms die geleentheid sal kry om u ervaring te verbeter en te wys dat ons erns maak met ons gaste se terugvoer.

Baie dankie vir u eerlike opmerkings en ons wens u alles van die beste toe.

Vriendelike groete,
Aletmarie Gibson

Dit was ongelooflik lekker om bietjie weg te breek uit die stads gewoel en die absolute rustigheid en stilte te kon geniet en ontspan.

Die kliphuis is perfek as jy wil wegkom uit die geskare en gejaag van elke dag om rustigheid en stilte te kan geniet en om werklik tyd as gesin saam te kan spandeer sonder die afleiding van TV en selfone.

It was incredibly nice to break away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the absolute peace and quiet and relax.

The stone house is perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to enjoy peace and quiet and to really spend time together as a family without the distraction of TV and mobile phones.

The house is a very rustic farm house. The hot water was a bonus as were the beds. The setting is stunning.

The house could do with a few more necessities - there were no hooks nor hanging rails to dry towels or wet clothes. The lights didn't work in many of the rooms and there was only one bedside lamp so it made reading difficult at night. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Arrived on a wet afternoon, left the next day in the dry.

I only received the T&Cs the day before I arrived. Some of the information is not on the website or differs from the website. The firewood was outside in the rain - no matches, no blits, no paper. Nice to have a loadshedding schedule - we don't even know what area/zone Kliphuis is in. The bed linen had what looked like water stains - not so nice on white linen. Watery hand soap in the bathroom.

Heerlik ontspan.

Ons het baie tyd op die stoep deurgebring en ook 'n bietjie gestap. Die weer was perfek en die damme was vol. Die kombuis is goed toegerus. Soos ander al genoem het, alhoewel daar slaapplek is vir baie mense, is dit redelik oopplan vir die ander wanneer jy meer mense het. Die [accommodation_name] is weg van die hoofplaaswerf en dus privaat en stil. Dit het aan ons doel voldoen vir 'n klein wegbreek.

Great relax.

We spent a lot of time on the porch and also did some walking. The weather was perfect and the ponds were full. The kitchen is well equipped. As others have mentioned, although there is sleeping space for many people, it is quite open plan for the others when you have more people. The [accommodation_name] is away from the main farmyard and therefore private and quiet. It served our purpose for a small getaway.

Rus en vreedsaamheid, perfek om kwaliteitfamilietyd te spandeer, prentjiemooi natuurskoon.

Heerlik vir buitelugstap en verken met troeteldiere, geen geraas, geen mense in sig of enige steurings nie, net doodse stilte en die natuurgeluide met 'n ongeëwenaarde sterreruim saans. Ware stukkie paradys.

Rustic cabin in beautiful setting.

The farm is stunning. You can enjoy long walks or bike rides or dam swims. No fish in dams for fishermen. Water level low after summer months. Kitchen well equipped. Had problems with an empty water tank on the last day. No Wi-Fi or phone reception near the house. Quiet and restful spot. Bokkies and ducks to view.

Die kaggel werk nie en maak die hele huis vol rook. Ons het na een dag vertrek (een dag vroeg). Die huis was te koud en donker.

Die huis is slegs geskik in die middel van die somer. Die kaggel werk nie en maak die hele huis vol rook. Die huis is slegs geskik vir 'n familie of groep wat nie privaatheid vra nie, aangesien die slaaparea in 'n oopplan-area is, behalwe een slaapkamer wat apart is. Die kombuisarea en die sitkamer het nie plafonne nie en is dus dubbelvolume. Om hulle warm te kry of hou is nie moontlik nie, veral ook omdat die agterdeur (of is dit die voordeur?), nie dig sluit nie. Die kombuis het geen vensters nie, behalwe die een klein venster hoog bo in die gewelmuur van die dubbellevolume gebou.

The fireplace does not work and fills the whole house with smoke. We left after one day (one day early). The house was too cold and dark.

The house is only suitable in the middle of summer. The fireplace does not work and fills the whole house with smoke. The house is only suitable for a family or group that does not ask for privacy, as the sleeping area is in an open plan area, except for one bedroom which is separate. The kitchen area and the living room do not have ceilings and are therefore double volume. Getting them warm or keeping them is not possible, especially also because the back door (or is it the front door?), does not close tightly. The kitchen has no windows, except for one small window high up in the gable wall of the double volume building.

Trap wat na loft toe gaan is onveilig en loodreg. Onveilig vir klein kindertjies en oumense.

Het vreeslik lekker gekuier by kaggel binne-in die huis. Met hout wat voorsien was. Pragtige damme en uitsig vanaf stoep. Baie stil omgewing. Berguitsig maak dat dit 'n rustigheid oor mens bring.

Stairs leading to the loft are unsafe and perpendicular. Unsafe for small children and the elderly.

Had a great time by the fireplace inside the house. With wood provided. Beautiful ponds and view from porch. Very quiet environment. Mountain view makes it bring a calmness over one.

Pragtige plek.

Heerlik gekuier behalwe dat ons loadshedding gehad het van 18h00 tot 22h30 en weer die volgende oggend van 08h00 af. Sal aanbeveel dat daar Meer alternatiewe beligting moet wees. Ons het gelukkig kopliggies en flitse gehad. Was egter baaie koud ook maar die binne kaggel het darem effens gehelp. Sal weer gaan.

Beautiful place.

Great time except that we had load shedding from 18h00 to 22h30 and again the next morning from 08h00. Would recommend that there should be more alternative lighting. Luckily we had headlamps and flashlights. It was also very cold, but the indoor fireplace helped at least a little. Will go again.

Rustige wegbreek.

Baie mooi natuuromgewing met berg- en dam-uitsig op 'n werkende plaas. Ideale wegbreeknaweek om te herlaai vir die laaste deel van 2021. Die kommunikasie van die eienaar was baie goed. Die werkers was ook baie behulpsaam.

Heerlike mini-wegbreek in die mooiste omgewing met natuurskoon en vistas.

Heerlik gekuier op 'n koue en nat naweek met die vuurherd wat ons warm gehou het. Baie mooi omgewing en uitsigte met baie goeie fasiliteite. Ons het so erg baie vuur gemaak in die vuurherd dat ons rookseine die vallei vol moes sigbaar wees. Dit sal wel goed wees vir die volgende besoekers as die eienaars die kaggel kan bekyk siende dat daar moontlik ander gevleuelde bewoners nes gemaak het aan die bokant en die kaggel met tye erg binnekant toe gerook het.

Delightful mini-break in the most beautiful surroundings with natural beauty and vistas.

Lovely visit on a cold and wet weekend with the hearth that kept us warm. Very nice surroundings and views with very good facilities. We made so much fire in the hearth that our smoke signals had to be visible all over the valley. It would be good for the next visitors if the owners could look at the fireplace, seeing that there may have been other winged inhabitants nesting on the top and the fireplace sometimes smoked badly inside.

Location was awesome. We spent a lot of good family time together.

It's a pity that we couldn't swim in the dam. Also, bear in mind that the main water pump for the dam is situated 50m away from the stoep and is very noisy - all day and all night.
