Dit was fantasmagories. Lieflike plek, sal definitief weer gaan.

Ons het die strawberry kamer geboek maar geëindig in die Old Barn. Dit is baie mooi plek met baie ruimte groot genoeg vir hele gesin. En baie vriendelike gasheer.

Thanks Angelique, see you again sometime. Regards, Mark

Beautiful old farmhouse.

We only needed a few hours of rest after our long journey, what we got was an entire character filled farmhouse with the opportunity to go into the farm's apricot orchards and eat fresh off the tree, it's certainly value for your money and built for people that are laid back, humble and unpretentious. Huge fireplace for winters.

Hi Christiaan,

Thank you for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay, maybe we will see you in the future again.

Die rustigheid was perfek.

Die ligging van die plaas is perfek en die "Cabin" waarin ons gebly het was regtig voldoende aan ons behoeftes. Dit was netjies en ruim gewees en die uitsig oor die berge en die wingerde was baie mooi gewees. Definitief waarde vir die prys.

Baie dankie Philip, ons waardeer dit. Mark

It was filthy and old accommodation.

We stayed in an old, dirty cabin. The kitchen was absolutely filthy with nests in the drawer and shelves. The blankets had bugs on them and it was extremely cold due to lack of insulation. I would not recommend it.

Chantelle O

Baie karakter met die mooiste uitsig.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, was net vir een aand en wens ons kon langer gebly het om die plek ten volle te geniet. Baie goeie waarde vir geld, ruim en histories. Ons sal weer daar bly.

Dankie Chantelle, ons waardeer dit!

Asemrowend.

Ek beveel die plek aan vir as jy wil wegbreek uit die gejaag van die stadslewe en net jouself weer wil vind. Die omgewing en uitsig vanuit jou kamer is asemrowend. Ek gaan beslis weer terug. Dit is stukkie ongerepte natuur pragtig. Hou so voort Mark, beste wegbreek nog.

Rustig.

Dit was in die houthuis wat baie gerieflik, netjies, aan die kant, en stil was. Ek het buite op die stoep gesit en goed opgeskryf terwyl ek oor die wingerde aan die oorkant van die dam uitkyk. Ek het gekom om in die Boland Senior Gholf by die Robertson gholfbaan te speel en dit was die perfekte plek om te ontspan, oor my rondte te gaan, en voor te berei vir die volgende dag. Daar is 'n grondpad by die heuwel op vir 'n lekker draffie.

Peaceful.

I was in the bungalow which was very comfortable, neat and tidy and quiet. I sat outside on the stoep and wrote up my things while looking across at the vineyard across the dam. I came to play in the Boland Seniors Golf at the Robertson golf course and it was the perfect place to relax, go over my round and prepare for the following day. There is the gravel road winding up the hill which gave a nice little training run.

Good value for money.

We just stayed one night. It was a very nice place to get away for a weekend. The farm atmosphere is perfect if you just need quiet.

Goeie waarde vir geld.

Ons het net een nag oor geslaap. Dis 'n baie lekker plek om vir 'n naweek weg te breek. Die plaas-atmosfeer is perfek as jy net stilte nodig het.

Terrible. Didn't even stay.

Were taken to the "cottage" when we arrived. Log cabin with one room and a zinc shower is a better description. Fully-equipped kitchen is a separate wooden structure with gas stove. We chose not to stay. Doesn't fit description in ad. Big disappointment.

Swak. Het nie oor gebly nie!

Met ons aankoms is ons na die "cottage" geneem. Houthuis met een vertrek en sinkstort is beter beskrywing. Volledig toegeruste kombuis is aparte houtstruktuur met gasstofie in. Verkies om nie daar te bly nie. Dit wat op advertensie staan is nie wat jy kry. Groot teleurstelling.

Hi Corna,

I am really sorry that you were not satisfied with the accommodation. It is really important to familiarize yourself with all the information beforehand, hence why there is full disclosure with regards to pictures and descriptions. One can even request further information before finalising a booking. I would ask you to re-visit Lekkeslaap and you will see that the accommodation is exactly as depicted.

Heaven on earth.

Me and my wife stayed at Almondbury. Both of us are nature lovers and just loved the little cabin where we stayed. We only spent one night and will definitely return there in the future, but then for at least one week. It's not a 5 star log cabin, but for those who enjoy nature it is perfect. More than perfect! I would even prefer to go without electricity there since the water is heated by a gas geyser. The gravel road to the farm is not too bad, but my car is not the biggest fan of gravel roads.

Hemel op aarde.

Ek en my vroutjie het by Almondbury oorgeslaap. Ons is albei natuurmense en was gaande oor die houthuisie waar ons geslaap het. Ons het net een aand daar oorgeslaap en gaan vir seker weer teruggaan soontoe vir ten minste een week. Dit is nie 5 ster log cabin nie, maar vir mense wat hou van dit om in die natuur te wees is dit perfek. Meer as! Ek sou selfs verkies om sonder krag te gaan daar siende dat die warm water van 'n gas-geyser af kom.

Tranquil and beautiful.

It was a welcome change from the city. Very tranquil, clean and beautiful. All of the antiques in the house makes one miss the old farm life. Warm welcome. We will definitely recommend this place. It really is a nice"kuier" house. Thank you very much!

Rustig en pragtig.

Dit is 'n welkome verandering van die stad. Baie rustig, skoon en pragtig. Al die oudhede in die huis laat 'n mens terug verlang na die "ou plaaslewe". Vriendelike ontvangs. Ons sal definitief die plekkie aanbeveel. Dit is nou regtig 'n lekker "kuier"-huis. Baie dankie!

Lovely place, very basic accommodation. Not at all like the photos.

Even though the farm is beautiful, the 2 "cabins" are really basic and the photos are misleading, because they're not "cabins" at all. The toilet didn't work and the sliding dood went off it's rails when we opened it. The bed was very uncomfortable. We were glad when the weekend came to an end.

Pragtige plek, baie basiese verblyf. Glad nie soos op die foto nie.

Alhoewel die plaas pragtig is, is die 2 "cabins" regtig basies en die foto is misleidend, want dit is nie van die "cabins" nie. Die toilet het nie gewerk nie en die skuifdeur het van die relings afgeval as jy dit oopmaak. Die bed was baie ongemaklik. Ons was bly toe die naweek verby was.

Had I been aware of a problem with the sliding door, we could have sorted it out immediately. Likewise the fact that you were not satisfied, I can assure you that had you let me know, I would have been quite happy to give you a partial refund in order for you to find suitable, alternative accommodation.
I do, however, challenge you on your comments about the pictures not being correct, I am not sure what pictures you had looked at but it obviously was not ours. I ask you to re-visit the site and look again because both the descriptions and the pictures are a 100% true reflection of both Strawberry and Almond cottages and this can be validated by anyone.

Asemrowend mooi.

Dit was werklikwaar asof mens teruggegooi was in tyd met al die ou-goed in die huis. Regtig pragtig. Ons enigste probleem was dat mens deur 'n baie lelike gebied moet gaan om daar uit te kom en as oud-Gautengers was dit vir ons waarskuwingstekens wat gemaak het dat ons nie regtig kon ontspan nie. Die area waardeur mens moet ry om daar te kom is ook vreeslik vuil met rommel wat orals rondlê - selfs in die waterslote. Dit sal waardeer word as sulke goed voor die tyd uitgewys word aan kliënte, want ons het so amper omgedraai en gekanselleer.

Dit was regtig lekker, baie lekker uitgerus.

Die verblyf en vakansie was regtig lekker. 'n Verestoffer om van die spinnerakke ontslae te raak was bietjie nodig. Maar verder was alles skoon, kombuis was ruim, leefarea was ruim, en baie rustig. Plus die area het baie plekke en interessanthede om te besoek.

'n Wegbreek van die samelewing.

Dit is die perfekte plek as jy wil wegbreek saam jou geliefde of gesin. Daar is so te se geen ontvangs nie so julle kan mekaar se geselskap geniet sonder die foon wat heeltyd lui. Al die nodige geriewe is daar. Dis 'n baie ruim huis vol oudhede.

Pleasantly surprised!

We only stayed at Almondbury for one night. It was a beautiful old house, stunning antiques and very comfortable even though it was mid-winter. Mark was very friendly and helpful and Daisy, the dog, added an extra friendly touch. We plan to go again, staying a few nights as the location is very central. We have already recommended them to friends.

Dit was baie rustig, maar ek was teleurgesteld in die eenheid waarin ons ingebly het.

Dit is 'n houthut, baie netjies binne, was maar koud vir die tydperk wat ons daar oornag het. In die somer sal dit seker baie meer warmer wees. Dit was nie die prys werd nie en kon goedkoper gewees het.

Twee aande oorgeslaap tydens besoek aan Robertson-/Bonnievale-wynroete.

Definitief nie beïndruk nie. Huis kort opknapwerk ... Stof, spinnerakke, miere in suiker, speserye 10 jaar terug verval, ens.

Weeklange vakansie tussen die berge in Robertson. Genoegsaam, ontspannend en lui lekker.

Sal ook defnitief weer wil gaan bly in die stalhuis, net vir langer. Die kinders het die groot huis met krakerige houtvloer baie geniet. Ons gesin het elke aand tot laat voor die kaggel gekuier en glad nie die TV gebruik nie.
