Tranquil and stunning views. Highly recommended!

The setting was serene and beautiful. The Dairy cottage was comfortable and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our time away. The host was friendly and most helpful and obliging. I would definitely return. Old Balgowan farm is not too far from the Midmar dam.

Baie lekker gekuier. Alles is in plek wat jy nodig kan hê.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en gebraai. Die plek het 'n pragtige uitsig en alles wat jy dink jy kan nodig het is reeds beskikbaar in elke cottage.

Had a great time. Everything is in place that you could need.

We had a great time hanging out and grilling. The place has a beautiful view and everything you think you might need is already available in each cottage.

Very enjoyable.

The rooms are clean, service is great. It is so peaceful and the kids could keep themselves busy paddling on the dam, and running around the farm.

Lovely stay with all the comforts required.

Well received by Vicki, the cottage is neat and clean with all facilities as advertised. Enjoyed a leisurely walk on the farm and snuggled up at the indoor fireplace on a cold night.

Baie lekker geriewe. Die gerief van gas wanneer daar beurtkrag is was wonderlike!

Lekker gekuier! Skoon geriewe met goeie diens van eienaars - ons het ons per abuis toegesluit in die eenheid en hulle het vinnig kom help. Sonkrag ligte vir beurtkrag, gas en al die aandag aan detail tel mens op. Lekker baie bordspeletjies ook beskikbaar wat ons geniet het. Seuns het die het hangmat/stoel geniet as deel van ontspanning.

Very nice facilities. The convenience of gas when there is load shedding was great!

Have a nice time! Clean facilities with good service from owners - we accidentally locked ourselves in the unit and they came to help quickly. Solar lights for load shedding, gas and all the attention to detail one notices. Lots of board games also available which we enjoyed. Boys enjoyed the hammock/chair as part of relaxation.

Nietjies, skoon en vriendelike ontvangs.

Twee keer oorgeslaap. Dairy cottage en Fishermans cottage. Beide baie gerieflik en goed toegerus. Baie skoon. Vicki het ons vriendelik ontvang en gaan uit haar pad om mens te help. Kan hulle met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel.

Fantastic stay on a beautiful working farm.

The cottage is located in a beautiful valley with surrounding hills and dams. It is a working farm so we visited the horses, ponies and hand-reared calves and got to feed them all, which made the kids very happy. It did rain the whole time we were there, but that didn't damper our fun and enjoyment, but I would recommend some gum boots if rain is expected. The fireplace came in very handy to help dry out the wet socks and shoes. Vicki was very friendly and even helped out with milk that we had forgotten. The stove is gas which is very helpful for the dreaded loadshedding times.

Woorde sal Old Balgowan Farm nie volledig beskryf nie.

Wanneer 'n oorslaap met jou praat, dan moet jy luister. Old Balgowan Farm. Vra nie of jy weer sal kom nie. Old Balgowan Farm sê dat jy baie sal verlang as jy weg bly. Dit is baie, baie rustig. Die stilte praat met jou. Baie dankie Vicki we enjoyed the wishing well experience. Great venue.

Words will not fully describe Old Balgowan Farm.

When a sleepover talks to you, you have to listen. Old Balgowan Farm. Don't ask if you will come again. Old Balgowan Farm says that if you stay away you will miss it a lot. It is very, very peaceful. The silence speaks to you. Thank you very much Vicki we enjoyed the wishing well experience. Great venue.
