Stil, opreg, avontuur, goed vir die siel.

Stil plat op die aarde plekkie. 'n Wegbreekplek sonder afleiding. Lekker geleë naby rivier met pragtige uitsig.

Het dit geniet.

Lieflike plekkie vir die winter ja. Ons was daar in Februarie en dit was verskriklik warm in die aand. Sal aanbeveel dat die eienaar miskien 'n herlaaibare waaier ook in die eenheid sit.

Our stay at Old Sam's Cottage was absolutely amazing.

We had such an amazing stay at Old Sam's Cottage. We enjoyed the peacefulness, watching the animals, especially the zebra who strolled in front of the house so peacefully. The cottage was so neat, and it takes you back to the olden days as there is no electricity and everything works with gas. Till this day, we are longing back to our stay at Old Sam's Cottage. I would definitely recommend Old Sam's Cottage if you want a break from the fast life in the city.

Farm life - Off the grid.

The stay was pleasant. The WiFi could be better, but the idea of being off the grid to relax was well achieved. There were games to play, stars to watch, and wildlife to see. There was a lot of braai to enjoy. It was possible to buy wood, but only cash was accepted.

Onvergeetlike naweek.

Om verskeie redes was die naweek onvergeetlik. Die huisie was so mooi en lekker ingerig, baie dankie! Ons het so tuis gevoel en die mooi omgewing ingeneem en waardeer. Dit was ook die naweek van 25 September 2023 vloede in die Wes-Kaap. Waar ons met aankoms nie die rivier kon sien nie, het ons Maandagoggend 25 Sept wakker geword met 'n rivier wat met 'n geweldige spoed afkom en tot in die wildskampie stoot. Al manier om by ons uit te kom was met 'n trekker. Alle kontak was per WA. Cecilia en Boeta het so mooi na ons gekyk, selfs kos met die trekker na ons gestuur. Hierdie was next level gasvryheid. Die kliëntedienssterre hierbo is nie genoeg nie, sou hulle 'n 10 uit 5 gee. Ons sal dit nooit vergeet nie en ons sal vir seker weer terugkeer.

Unforgettable weekend.

The weekend was memorable for several reasons. The house was so beautiful and nicely furnished, thank you very much! We felt so at home and took in and appreciated the beautiful surroundings. It was also the weekend of 25 September 2023 floods in the Western Cape. Where we could not see the river on arrival, we woke up on Monday morning 25 September to a river coming down with tremendous speed and pushing into the game camp. All way to get to us was with a tractor. All contact was via WA. Cecilia and Boeta looked after us so well, even sending us food with the tractor. This was next level hospitality. The customer service stars above are not enough, would give them a 10 out of 5. We will never forget it and we will return again for sure.

Salige rustigheid vir behoorlike afskakeltyd.

Old Sam's Cottage is die ideale opsie vir enigeen wat wil wegkom van die gejaag. Die huisie is pragtig en gerieflik ingerig vir 'n kort, of langer verblyf. Die uitsig vanaf die stoep en braai-area is lieflik, en heerlik vir kuier tot laataand. Ons het lang ente geloop op die plaaspaaie met die mooiste uitsigte, en ook gaan afkoel met die kano by die rivier. Alhoewel die huisie geen elektrisiteit het nie, was dit goed ingerig met gas en koordlose ligte. Naby aan die dorp en besienswaardighede, as 'n mens inkopies wil gaan doen of die area wil verken. Die gasvrou, Cecilia, was deurgaans beskikbaar en het moeite gedoen om ons tuis te laat voel.

Blissful tranquility for proper shutdown time.

Old Sam's Cottage is the ideal option for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle. The cottage is beautifully and comfortably furnished for a short or longer stay. The view from the stoep and braai area is lovely, and great for hanging out until late at night. We walked long distances on the farm roads with the most beautiful views, and also went to cool off with the canoe by the river. Although the cottage has no electricity, it was well appointed with gas and cordless lights. Close to town and attractions, if one wants to go shopping or explore the area. The hostess, Cecilia, was available throughout and made an effort to make us feel at home.

The ultimate escape from the city.

Absolutely amazing getaway. No signal, no electricity, no disturbances, the real way to unwind, relax and bond with your loved one. Was an honour to stay at a legend's cottage, the picture of Old Sam with a beaming smile is the perfect welcome and had me saying for 4 nights straight. "Dankie Oom Sam. jou legend!" The owners and staff are lovely people, real genuine hospitality shown by their eagerness to help when I left the car keys in the ignition and ran down the battery. This place is will see my wife and me again in future.

'n Rustige plek waar jy jouself weer kan vind.

'n Wegbreek van die stad se lawaai. Waar jy wakker word met voëlgesang en vars lug. 'n Sterrehemel wat jou na jou asem laat snak. Kraakvars linne en netjiese verblyf. Sagte kerslig maak die aande kalm. As jy wil afskakel van alles en almal is dit die plek om te wees.

Siele rus.

Ekstra ligte gekry. Blomme ook gekry om welkom te sê. Gasvrou baie vriendelik - laat jou baie tuis voel. Daar kry 'n mens regtig rus die liggaam en siel. Die donkie geniet - laat jou regtig voel jy is weg van die gewoel van die stad. Baie in die omgewing om te sien. Ons was deur na De Hoop en het baie wild gesien, bo en behalwe die elande, sebras en springbokke wat ons by Old Sam's gesien het. Die WiFi was die Vrydag heeltyd maklik om "in te log", maar het gesukkel die Saterdag - ek gee dit nog steeds 'n 5, want dit was nie 'n noodsaaklikheid vir ons nie, dit was maar net 'n ekstra - daarom dit nie nodig gesien om te noem vir die Cecilia nie. Alles was baie lekker! Inteendeel het ons gegaan vir 'n totale wegbreek. Sal weer gaan.

Got extra lights. Also got flowers to say welcome. Hostess very friendly - makes you feel very at home. There one really rests the body and soul. Enjoy the donkey - really makes you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Lots to see in the area. We were through to De Hoop and saw a lot of wildlife, on top of the moose, zebras and springboks we saw at Old Sam's. The WiFi was easy to "log in" all the time on Friday, but struggled on Saturday - I still give it a 5 as it wasn't a necessity for us, it was just an extra - so this saw no need to mention for the Cecilia. Everything was very nice! On the contrary, we went for a total getaway. Will go again.

Rustig, stil, mooie natuurskoon. Regte plek om te gaan vir stilte en ontspanning weg van die samelewing.

Die plek is skoon, alles is daar wat 'n mens nodig het. En dit die perfekte plek vir as jy 'n rustige wegbreekplekkie soek van die besige samelewing. Dit die plek om jou kop skoon te kry. Ek moet sê daar was even genoeg hout vir braai en vir die donkie. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel en julle sal my en my eggenoot definitief weer daar sien inboek. Die mense is baie vriendelik daar en het ook kom kyk of ons okay is. Alles is puik.

Woorde- en asemloos, dis rerig bittermooi en rustig.

Dit was 'n naweek wat ek beslis enige tyd oor sal wil hê, wild gesien, gekano en 'n pragtige plaas deur en deur geniet en ook gaan stap. Eerste keer ook beleef hoe 'n weerligstraal slaan teen 'n kragpaal, asook waar 'n weerlig slaan en in 2 gesplit word. Plekkie is rerig baie mooi en stilte wat my laat sag slaap in die aande, asook ons het 2 aande om lekker gesit en praat op die stoep en waar ons ook 'n bietjie bederf was met nagsterre.

Speechless and breathless, it's really bittersweet and peaceful.

It was a weekend I would definitely want to have over any time, seeing wildlife, canoeing and thoroughly enjoying a beautiful farm and going for walks too. Also experienced for the first time how a lightning bolt strikes a power pole, as well as where lightning strikes and splits in 2. Plekkie is really very beautiful and quiet which makes me sleep soundly in the evenings, as well as we spent 2 evenings sitting and talking on the stoep and where we were also a little spoiled with night stars.

Ongelooflike wegbreekoase.

Ek het my kuier by Old Sam's Cottage baie geniet. Die stilte en rustigheid was heerlik. Die kothuis was netjies, skoon en goed toegerus. Die ligging is naby genoeg aan die dorp vir benodighede, maar ver genoeg om te vergeet van die stad se gewoel. Die bergfiets-sirkelroete was ook ’n fees.Ek kan beslis hierdie kothuis aanbeveel en kan nie wag om weer daar te gaan kuier nie.

Incredible getaway oasis.

I really enjoyed my stay at Old Sam's Cottage. The silence and tranquility was wonderful. The cottage was neat, clean and well equipped. The location is close enough to the town for necessities, but far enough to forget about the hustle and bustle of the city. The mountain bike circular route was also a feast. I can definitely recommend this cottage and can't wait to visit again.

Baie lekker gebly!

Die huisie is skoon, netjies en toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het. Die uitsig vanaf die stoep, asook die voëllewe was amazing. Ons het baie lekker geroei in die rivier en die bulte op die plaas uitgedraf, ons 2 scottie-kinders het dit net so baie geniet. Die rustigheid en stilte van die area was 'n bonus!

Rustig.

Ons het ons naweek by Old Sam's Cottage geniet, maar hierdie plek sal my ongelukkig nooit weer sien nie. Die stort was een te veel vir my! Om die donkie te stook is maklik en dit maak die water heerlik warm. In die badkamer is die storie heel anders! Daar is geen druk in die kraan nie, so die water drup-drup net deur die stortkop - dit maak dit feitlik onmoontlik om behoorlik te stort. Ons het 'n blikemmer van die kombuis gevat, dit vol water gemaak by die wasbak en dan gebruik om ons self af te spoel. Die warm water is bruin en dit voel vuil - daar is sediment (of iets anders, ek weet nie) in die water wat agter bly op jou vel en jou hare. Dit is aaklig! Die stort se water het ook nie weggeloop nie, so na een persoon "gestort" het was die badkamer se vloer sopnat. Ons het ook 'n hande-handdoek in die badkamer gemis. Die beskrywing van die plek noem dat daar 'n binnenshuise braai (i.e. kaggel) is, maar dit is verkeerd. Daar is slegs 'n buite-braai - die is darem onderdak en beskut teen die wind. Ek kan darem sê dat die plek mooi skoon was en en al die kombuis toebehore wat ons nodig gehad het was daar. Ek stel voor toekomstige besoekers vat hul eie flitse en liggies saam aangesien die wat verskaf word nie genoeg is nie.

Restful.

We enjoyed our weekend at Old Sam's Cottage but unfortunately this place will never see me again. The shower was one too many for me! Boiling the donkey is easy and it makes the water deliciously warm. In the bathroom, the story is quite different! There is no pressure in the faucet, so the water just drip-drip through the shower head - making it virtually impossible to shower properly. We took a tin bucket from the kitchen, filled it with water at the sink and then used it to rinse ourselves. The hot water is brown and it feels dirty - there is sediment (or something else, I don't know) in the water that is left behind on your skin and your hair. It's horrible! The shower's water didn't drain either, so after one person "showered" the bathroom floor was soaking wet. We also missed a hand towel in the bathroom. The description of the place mentions that there is an indoor braai (i.e. fireplace), but this is incorrect. There is only an outdoor braai - at least it is covered and sheltered from the wind. At least I can say that the place was nice and clean and all the kitchen accessories we needed were there. I suggest future visitors take their own flashlights and lighters as the ones provided are not enough.

Ons het ongelukkig geen klagtes van jul ontvang gedurende die tyd wat jul op die plaas gekuier het nie. Ek kon dan die druk dadelik uitsorteer, n hande-handdoek bring en ekstra ligte. Die water is vir n ruk bruin totdat die eerste water deurloop. Ek sal egter aandag aan alles gee. Ek is jammer ons huis het nie aan jou verwagting voldoen nie.

Wonderlike wegbreek uit die stad.

Ons was aangenaam verras met hoe lekker ons in hierdie klein, maar goed toegeruste huisie gebly het. Dit was koud en reënerig toe ons daar was, maar die beddegoed was heerlik snoesig. Daar is 'n gasverwarmer wat ons nie eers nodig gehad het om te gebruik nie. Wees voorbereid daarop daar daar met tye geen selfoonontvangs is nie, alhoewel daar gratis Wi-Fi is. Ons was vir basies die helfte van ons 3 dae heeltemal sonder sein. Die donkie maak die water heerlik warm, mens moet net geduldig wees - kan tot 3 ure vat. Dus, as jy hou van al die stadsgeriewe van elektrisiteit, gaan hierdie dalk nie vir jou werk nie, maar vir ons was dit heerlik. Moet wonderlik wees as mens in die somer nog in die rivier ook kan swem en roei.

Wonderful getaway out away from the city.

We were pleasantly surprised with how nice we stayed in this small but well equipped cottage. It was cold and rainy when we were there, but the bedding was lovely. There is a gas heater that we didn't even need to use. Be prepared for there being no cell phone reception at times, although there is free Wi-Fi. For half of the 3 days we were basically without signal. The donkey warms the water, you just have to be patient - can take up to 3 hours. So, if you love all the city facilities of electricity, this might not work for you, but for us it was great. Must be great if you can swim and row in the river in summer.

Goed vir die siel.

Die cottage is perfek vir enige een wat wil ontspan. Ons was daar op 'n koel naweek, maar sal graag weer wil gaan vir langer sodat ons van die kano's kan gebruik maak. Die huisie is was lekker, maar ons was bietjie in die donker gelaat. Daar was nie aanwysings of verduideliking van die gasstofie en donkie (om stort water warm te maak) nie. En 'n tekort aan kerse en 'n warm kombers. Daar was ook nie tee of melk nie net 'n leë melkhouer. Ek het nie terugvoer gekry op enige eposse voor ons bespreking nie. Gelukkig maak die rustigheid, pragtige omgewing, netjiese huisie en lekker beddegoed op vir die tekortkominge. Sal beslis weer gaan!

Good for the soul.

The cottage is perfect for anyone who wants to relax. We were there on a cool weekend but would love to go again for longer so we could use the canoes. The house was nice, but we were left a bit in the dark. There were no directions or explanation of the gas stove and donkey (to heat shower water). And a shortage of candles and a warm blanket. There was also no tea or milk just an empty milk container. I did not get feedback on any emails prior to our booking. Fortunately, the tranquility, beautiful surroundings, neat house and nice bedding make up for the shortcomings. Will definitely go again!

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Wens ons kon langer kuier om die cottage en omgewing te geniet.

Die cottage is baie lekker ingerig en vir die wat lekker wil wegbreek van stad, krag en TV is die plekkie ideaal. Dink dit kan lekker wees tussen die wild. Wil net aanbeveel dat roete na Old Sam's Cottage beter op internet asook op aanwysings met bevestiging gestuur word. Die afstande op bevestigingsnota is totaal verkeerd. Van Bredasdorp se kant is ongeveer 6 km na spoor en 600 meter voor Karsrivier. Van Swellendam se kant af is dit 600 meter na Karsrivier. Draai in by gruisspad by koördinate S34º29'28.6" E020º05'24.4". Sodra afgedraai ry reguit aan tot jy by dubbele wildkamp se hek aan die regterkant kom. By die hek is twee borde met Old Sam's Cottage. Koördinate vir Old Sam's Cottage is S34º29'42.0" E020º07'07.7".

We had a very nice stay. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the cottage and area more.

The cottage is very nicely equipped and for those in need of a getaway from the city, power and TV, this place is ideal. I think it can be very nice between the game. Just want to recommend that the route to Old Sam's Cottage as well as the directions need to be better and sent with confirmation of the booking. The distances on the confirmation note is completely incorrect. From the Bredasdorp side it's approximately 6 km after the tracks and 600 m before the Kars river. From the Swellendam side it's approximately 600 m after the Kars river. Turn into the gravel road at coordinates S34º29'28.6" E020º05'24.4". As soon as you've turned off you keep straight until you get to the double windmill's gate on the right hand side. At the gate there are two signs with Old Sam's Cottage on. Coordinates of Old Sam's Cottage is S34º29'42.0" E020º07'07.7".

Dit was heerlik gewees en ons is regtig verbaas deur die netheid van die plek.

Die elande in die oggend was 'n ware plesier. Die oud en luuks is fantasties! Kom beslis weer.

Puik!

Vars, skoon en die gasvryheid het ons uit die veld geslaan. Ons het motorfiets probleme gehad en was vinnig deur Cecilia en Boeta uitgesorteer. Ons het met 'n plesier 'n ekstra nag gebly.

Great!

Fresh, clean and the hospitality blew us away. We had motorcycle problems and were quickly sorted out by Cecilia and Boeta. We were happy to stay an extra night.

Ons het 3 baie lekker nagte hier deurgebring. Baie gerieflik naby die dorp maar tog privaat.

Dankie vir die vriendelikheid en gasvryheid. Ons kom beslis weer.
