Shocking.

Terribly disappointed and feel aggrieved as what is advertised online is not what is factually available.

Privaat en naby aan natuur.

Netjiese houthuisies wat goed toegerus is. Dit is teen die dam aan die rand van die plaas naby aan die berge, baie mooi omgewing. Pad na eenheid is beter aangedurf met 'n 4x4 of bakkie, sloepies gevul met water te diep vir selfs hoër karre. Ons het wel 'n probleem gehad met die warm water en daar was nie krag nie. Die eienares was wel baie behulpsaam en het ons gehelp. Bring eerder ys en ligte saam vir ingeval, andersins gaan ons beslis weer kom, lieflik!

Private and close to nature.

Neat wooden houses that are well equipped. It is by the dam on the edge of the farm close to the mountains, very beautiful surroundings. Road to unit is better ventured with a 4x4 or bakkie, sloops filled with water too deep for even taller cars. We did have a problem with the hot water and there was no power. The owner was very helpful and helped us. Better bring ice and lights just in case, otherwise we'll definitely be back, lovely!

Manjifiek!

Ons is nou nog stomgeslaan deur die absolute sprokiesmooi omgewing en die betowerende hoë berge wat die mooiste agtergrond vir die pragtige en gerieflike houthuise skilder. Foto's doen die hutte en omgewing daar glad nie geregtigheid nie. Ons kan nie wag vir ons volgende besoek nie.

We are still stunned by the absolutely fairytale-like surroundings and the enchanting high mountains that paint the most beautiful background for the beautiful and comfortable wooden houses. Photos do not do the cabins and surroundings justice at all. We can't wait for our next visit.

Als was great buiten die kaggel.

Die rook trek geensins soos dit moet met die kaggel nie, so mens kan dit glad nie gebruik nie. Dit was nog so effe bruikbaar toe ons die los glas in die deur gesit het, maar die los glas het toe ook nie gehou nie en gebreek. Ek was geskok wat die goed wat 'n groot trekpleister vir die cabin is, nie reggemaak word nie. As jul dit regmaak kom bly ek baie graag weer daar!

Als was great outside the fireplace.

The smoke doesn't smoke the way it should with the fireplace, so you can't use it at all. It was still somewhat usable when we put the loose glass in the door, but then the loose glass didn't hold and broke. I was shocked that the things that are a big draw for the cabin are not fixed. If you fix it, I would love to stay there again!

Voel asof jy duisende kilometers ver is van die stad.

Wonderlike wegbreek bestemming. Die eenheid was skoon, en ons het 2 dae lank geen ander gaste gesien nie! Hemels. 'n paar klein veranderinge kan die ervaring nog beter maak: 'n roeibootjie of kano vir elke eenheid sal die kinders (en grootmense) vir ure besig hou, die sonpanele kan maar bietjie vergroot word om vroëer en vinniger die batterye te laai, en die warm water in Kliphout was 'n probleem.

Translate to English.

Feel like you are thousands of kilometers away from the city.

Wonderful getaway destination. The unit was clean, and we didn't see any other guests for 2 days! Heavenly. a few small changes can make the experience even better: a rowing boat or canoe for each unit will keep the kids (and adults) occupied for hours, the solar panels can be slightly enlarged to charge the batteries earlier and faster, and the hot water in Kliphout was a problem.

The place is beautiful and the log cabin is comfortable.

There should be more hiking trails. The fireplace does not work effectively when it is cold, this is a vital item to warm up the place.

Awesome spot! Bit difficult to get there without a 4X4. Hiking routes aren't well marked out, we ended up getting lost.

The area is very beautiful. The accommodation is average, but clean and had everything one may need.

There were a few issues. Is there a shooting range nearby? On the Friday evening there was very loud gunshots continuing for about an hour (not peaceful, but I am aware not on your property). Although we were the only people staying in Platbos (the other 2 cabins empty), on the Saturday evening 5.30pm, 4 SUV vehicles with many people and many children, parked on the dam wall in front of us. They pulled out deck chairs for their sundowners, the children all swam (and screamed and shouted), they played a guitar and generally made a lot of noise. They were there for about 1.5 hours. On the Saturday morning, my daughter and I wanted to hike to the waterfall. There is a sign to the waterfall below the dam. We followed this, but it came to a dead end after about 5 m. We then walked from behind cottage no1, following a hiking sign. This also came to a dead end. Eventually we found a path and managed to follow your red dots. This was mostly fine, but the path is extremely overgrown and we got extremely scratched and cut by all the fynbos. I believe that, as you advertise this hike on your website, it should be better managed. The waterfall was lovely and worth the effort.

Was baie lekker. Sal weer gaan as die staproete beskikbaar is.

Toe ons by die Cabin aankom was die deur gesluit. Ek het die nommer geskakel wat die webtuiste vir my gestuur het. Die dame het vir my gesê dat ons moet kom inboek by die lodge se ontvangs wat 15 minute se ry was. Niemand het op enige stadium vir my gesê dat dit moet gebeur nie. 45 minute later was ons terug by die cabin met die sleutel. Ons het spesiaal daar bespreek om die staproete te doen na die waterval toe. Tot ons ontsteltenis was die staproete nie toeganklik nie. Na 100 m se stap het dit doodgeloop en kon ons nie verder stap nie, wat 'n teleurstelling.

Was very nice. Will go again if the hiking trail is available.

When we arrived at the Cabin the door was locked. I called the number the website sent me. The lady told me that we should check in at the lodge's reception which was a 15 minute drive. At no point did anyone tell me that this had to happen. 45 minutes later we were back at the cabin with the key. We specially booked there to do the walking route to the waterfall. To our dismay, the hiking trail was not accessible. After 100m of walking it stopped and we couldn't walk any further, what a disappointment.

Ongelooflike verblyf, uitstekende waarde vir geld.

Die vars broodjie met aankoms was 'n aangename verrassing. Die huisie is baie goed toegerus met aandag op detail. Fantastiese ligging, prentjiemooi. Sal vir seker weer daar gaan bly. Enigste negatief is dat ophangplek vir handdoeke handig sal wees, maar andersins ongelooflike mooi verblyf.

Fantastiese ligging in die natuur, rustig weg van die gewoel.

Pad na kajuite benodig opgradering vir normale voertuig gebruik. Geelhoutkajuit het lek waar kaggel deur die dak gaan. Deur van kaggel seel nie 100% nie. Toiletspoelmeganisme van toilet soms foutief en stop nie die spoeling automaties nie. 'n Roeiboot per kajuit word aanbeveel, en sal waardevolle aktiwiteit en plesier verskaf.

Road to cottages needs an upgrade for normal vehicle use. Yellowwood cottage has a leak where the fireplace goes through the roof. Door of the fireplace doesn't seal 100%. Flush mechanism of the toilet is sometimes faulty and doesn't automatically stop the flush. A row boat per cottage is recommended, and will offer valuable activity and pleasure.

Feels like you are overseas.

Staying over at Platbos Log Cabins was such a wonderful experience on our honeymoon! Staying on the dam was so relaxing - the views and the peace and quiet is out of this world. We loved being so close to nature. The cabins are also very comfortable and romantic, especially if you put the fire place on and celebrate with a bottle of wine. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Asemrowende uitsig en stilte weg van die alledaagse gedruis.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die huisie was goed toegerus, ons kon lekker op die stoep sit en ontspan. Het die Slanghoek-vallei geniet en in die bergpaadjies rondstap. Ontbyt by die restaurant was heerlik en die vars broodjie met aankoms was 'n aangename verrassing!

Breathtaking view and silence away from the everyday noise.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was well equipped, we could sit on the veranda and relax. Enjoyed the Slanghoek Valley and walking around the mountain paths. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious and the fresh bread on arrival was a pleasant surprise!

Die mooiste en rustigste plek wat ons al besoek het.

Platbos Cabins is baie netjies en skoon en het alles wat mens nodig het. Die rustigheid doen iets vir die siel. Die natuurskoon is asemrowend. Ons sal definitief terug wees. Miskien 'n oorweging om die uitkloktyd veral op Sondae te verander na 12h00. 'n Naweek is te kort om die mooi plek ten volle te verken.

Platbos Cabins are very neat and clean and have everything you need. The tranquility does something for the soul. The scenery is breathtaking. We will definitely be back.

Weg van alles.

'n Baie aangename wegbreekplek. Dit voel werklik of mens ver weg van alles is. Ons was die enigste mense in die houthuise, die nader twee was leeg, dit sal moontlik nie so rustig wees as mens bure het nie. Hartseer hoe leeg die dam is. Neem maar ter harte die voertuig met 'n hoë asafstand wat aanbeveel word, die grondpad is nie moeilik nie, maar nie geskik vir 'n lae sedanmotor nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Away from everything.

A very pleasant getaway. It really feels like you are far away from everything. We were the only people in the wooden houses, the closer two were empty, it might not be so peaceful when you have neighbours. Sad how empty the pond is. Just take to heart the high wheelbase vehicle that is recommended, the dirt road is not difficult, but not suitable for a low sedan car.

Stunning views and brilliant accommodation.

What a stunning setting and incredible views. The linen is top class and the cabin is beautiful and it was spotless. Highly recommended if solitude and (mostly) peace and quiet is what you are looking for. Sadly the water level in the dam was low but I could still do some fishing and swimming although SUP'ing was a little pointless. Just keep in mind that fridge space is limited as it is a camper fridge.

Die pad is baie rof en kan 'n bietjie aandag geniet. Nie te min, dit dra by tot die gevoel dat 'n mens ver weg van die stad en sy kommer is, al is dit net 1 uur en 15 minute se ry van die lughawe af. Die hutte is mooi gebou en goed behou.

The nature, the location and the cabin were very good. They have to check and clean the septic tank more often. For a half of the price that we paid for our weekend at Platbos Log Cabins we received better service at some other places that we book via TravelGround.

Pragtig en rustig, baie netjies!

Die plekkie is amazing. Enigste probleem was dat ons 10 uur die aand voetstappe buite ons huisie op die stoep gehoor het en flitsligte gesien het. Ons het die noodnommer gebel wat hul vir ons gegee het en net die voice mail het opgekom. Ons het nie 'n oog toegemaak die laaste aand nie en weet nou nog nie wie dit was nie. Dit sal goed wees as hulle een of ander veiligheidsmaatreël kry.

The place is amazing. Only problem was that at 10 o'clock in the evening we heard footsteps outside our cottage on the porch and saw flashlights. We called the emergency number they gave us and only the voice mail came up. We didn't close an eye last night and still don't know who it was. It would be good if they get some kind of security measure.

Baie rustig en mooi tussen die Slanghoekberge.

Die ontvangs was puik, en die huis was baie skoon en netjies. In die aand kan jy op die stoep sit en bietjie vergeet van die wêreld daar buite, dis 'n goeie tyd om weer te bind met jou gesin. Alhoewel dit somer was (begin Desember) het daar 'n lekker koel briesie gewaai en mens voel veilig om met jou vensters oop te slaap. Die klim teen die berg op na die waterval is 'n bietjie uitdagend, maar die moeite werd. Dankie, sal die plek weer besoek.

Very peaceful and beautiful between the Slanghoek mountains.

The reception was great, and the house was very clean and tidy. In the evening you can sit on the porch and forget about the world outside, it's a good time to bond with your family again. Although it was summer (beginning of December) there was a nice cool breeze and you feel safe sleeping with your windows open. The climb up the mountain to the waterfall is a bit challenging, but worth it. Thanks, will visit the place again.

It was awesome! My wife can't wait to go back. The cabins are beautifully built and comfortable. The arrival was handled exellently at the reception office. The cabin was lovely well kitted out, interesting, quaint and peacefull. It was very clean and we had everything we needed. There were great small but significant touches, like a bottle of sparkeling wine in the fridge and enough charcoal for two nights braai. The stars at night were bright and clear. My wife loved the place, and put an excellent post on Facebook, to which there was a huge response.

Platbos Log Cabins is wonderlik. Die ligging is perfek en die eenheid self is "great". Die enigste probleem is dat daar te min warm water is met baie min druk so as mens 'n groep is raak dit 'n groot probleem. Dit is nie goedkoop verblyf nie, so mens voel jy sou darem skoon wou wees.

Platbos Log Cabins are great. The location is perfect and the unit itself is "great". The only problem is that there is too little hot water with very little pressure so if you are in a group it becomes a big problem. It's not cheap accommodation, so you feel you would at least want to be clean.
