Ontspannend.

Dit is 'n heerlike plek vir 'n ontspannende wegbreek. Al wat net bietjie sleg is - daar word aangedui dat daar 'n oond is, maar daar is nie. Slegs 'n konveksie-oondjie. Die kombuistoebehore, vir 'n selfsorgeenheid, is ook redelik beperk. Verder was die kuier baie lekker en die huis netjies en skoon!

Relaxing.

It is a lovely place for a relaxing break. All that is just a little bad - it is indicated that there is an oven, but there is not. Only a convection oven. The kitchen equipment, for a self-catering unit, is also quite limited. Furthermore, the visit was very nice and the house neat and clean!

Ruim en gesellig.

Rustige plaasatmosfeer, met hope spasie in die huis. Moderne kombuis was 'n plesier om in te werk. Die tafeltennis en pooltafel het vir ure se genot gesorg.

Ideale wegbreek.

Wonderlike wegbreek met vriende om die gedruis van die stad agter te laat. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het in terme van fasiliteite en omgewing. Pragtige natuurskoon gekombineered met 'n hemelse rustigheid.

Asemrowende sonsondergang en -opkoms vanaf die Herehuis.

Die rustigheid en mooi natuurskoon op die plaas afgerond met fantastiese fasiliteite in die ruim huis was die rede dat ons heerlike gesintyd saam gehad het. Die ligging is perfek. Alles super netjies en skoon. Huis bo verwagting goed toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het. Sonja, was selfs van voor ons aankoms baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dankie Sonja! Ons gaan vir seker weer kom kuier.

We will definitely visit again.

Wonderlikste rustigheid op aarde!

Wat kan ek sê, dis 'n stukkie hemel op aarde. Dit was so lekker ons wou nie huis toe gaan nie. Charity is 'n engel en help met alles. Sonja is so vriendelik gewees en albei het ons so tuis laat voel. Dis 'n absolute moet om daarso te gaan vir 'n wegbreek. Jy sal nooit spyt wees nie. Dis fantasties.

Dream weekend!

The house was very beautiful and homely, it was sparkling clean, you can eat off the floor. It has anything you could possibly think of and more, the staff Charity and Elias go beyond the call of duty to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Thank you very much to Sonja for allowing us to watch the rugby semi finals even though we had to check out, we really and truly appreciate your kindness and hospitality and for that we are grateful. We shall surely be back!

Baie lekker maar buitebraai sal nog lekkerder wees.

Sonja van Melk Houte Bosch sal ek aanbeveel. Was baie lekker en sy het gereeld kontak met ons gemaak om uit te vind of alles reg is daar. Het baie lekker gekuier en rondgestap op plaas. Baie veilig gevoel daar.
