Waarde vir geld, Chalet (Cloud) baie skoon en goed toegerus.

Chalet baie mooi skoon, ongelukkig die grasperk voor die Chalet vol sigarette stompies en hondegemors wat die mense wat voorheen daar was nie optel nie. Ek verstaan nie hoe mense optree nie, dink asb. aan die mense wat na julle van die perseel gebruik maak.

Value for money, Chalet (Cloud) very clean and well equipped.

Chalet very nice and clean, unfortunately the lawn in front of the Chalet is full of cigarette butts and dog waste which the people who were there before do not pick up. I don't understand how people behave, please think. to the people who use the premises after you.

Wonderlike uitsig, wonderlike vuurmaakplek.

Ek weet nie so mooi van 'fly fishing' nie - ek koop my vis by die supermark. Maar as jy hou van lekker vuurmaak in die winter, en 'n pragtige uitsig uit jou slaapkamer, dan is hierdie plek vir jou.

Schaefers' Halt 's response

Dear Mr Human

We are very sorry to hear about you uncomfort. 98% of our guests love the trains passing by and we have (as new owners) for 9 months not received any complaints regarding the train. We have no control over this however I will make sure that we mention this on our website to inform future guests that there are trains passing by during the night and day. Our CLOUD cottage as u might have seen is far up the hill and will offer u a weekend there should u want to come back to this beautiful area again.

Ongelooflik rustig, veilig, ligging fantasties. Huisies beste opsie. Dierevriendelik was belangrikste oorweging.

Ek sal weer teruggaan en alleen self hier bly. Kombuis so bietjie meer goed nodig maar mens kan klaarkom daarsonder, dalk onderdakbraaier nodig - kan baie reën daar.

Great weekend away with stunning views!

We had a great weekend and loved that it was dog friendly. Our only suggestion is that they put a fence around the railing on the stoep so that small dogs can’t get out in the front.

Dit is baie rustig daar. Omring deur natuurskoon. Pragtige uitsig uit die hoofslaapkamer .

Wat ons die meeste opgeval het was hoe netjies en goed die huis toegerus is, veral die kombuis. Die eienaar, Trevor en sy vrou Sharon was baie vriendelik en jou sommer gou laat tuis voel.

I step out into mountains and turn to the forest.

The view from each angle is breathtaking, there is no image that could capture the beauty from each window and door. We were tucked away into nature. We had a fire burning throughout the stay and fished at one of the dams on the property. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and we're already planning our next stay.

Heerlike wegbreek!

Ons het lekker gebly by Schaefer’s Halt! Trevor en Shanon is ‘n wonderlike, huislike gasheer en -vrou en gee werklik om vir jou gemak. Die eenheid was goed ingerig met 'n paar “personal touches”. Mooiste uitsig oor die heuwels. Was ook so lekker om ons viervoetige kinders te kon saamneem. Die visdamme het goeie voorraad en die perseel het mooi staproetes.

Could be better.

This beautifully situated self catering cottage has a great view over the mountains, picturesquely placed right in front of the unit. The beauty is interrupted by a busy R540 main road with increased traffic on weekdays. The unit has the basic finishes that you would expect with a few extras. The unit we were in could have done with a good cleaning and a little more maintenance over the years. Some of the appliances could be upgraded and modernised. The units are not serviced so be sure to budget for that if you were planning on an extended stay.

Rustige en gesellige plekkie met mooi natuurtonele.

Ons het gebly in "The Snug". Dit was 'n baie lekker, private plekkie vir die eerste twee daggies van wittebrood. Die uitleg van die huisie is baie gesellig en gerieflik. Daar was selfs hout om mee te braai. Dis 'n entjie van enige dorp wat beteken dat alles wat jy nodig het jy reeds vooraf moet saambring soos kos. Daar is ook nie eetplekke of ander besienswaardighede in die omgewing nie en daar is 'n treinspoor naby met so drie of vier treine 'n dag wat verbykom. Dit was lekker om in die oggende langs die dam te sit en na die klein vissies te kyk en daar is ook visse wat mens kan vang en braai. Daar is 'n paadjie teen die heuwel met 'n mooi uitsig en 'n dennebos waar ons lekker gestap het. Dankie vir die lekker verblyf.

Quiet and cozy place with beautiful natural scenes.

We stayed in "The Snug". It was a very nice, private place for the first two days of honeymoon. The layout of the cottage is very cozy and comfortable. There was even wood to braai with. It's a long way from any town, which means that you have to bring everything you need in advance, such as food. There are also no places to eat or other attractions in the area and there is a train track nearby with about three or four trains a day passing by. It was nice to sit next to the pond in the mornings and look at the little fish and there are also fish that you can catch and fry. There is a path up the hill with a nice view and a pine forest where we had a nice walk. Thank you for the nice stay.

But other than that, we can't really complain about anything. We will stay there again.

Schaefers' Halt offers peace, tranquility, beautiful views and comfortable lodging 15 minutes away from glorious Dullstroom. It is a wonderful place to stay. The owners are friendly, helpful and non-invasive. It is reasonable in price and offers everything for a weekend get away.

'n Aangename plek, netjies en skoon met 'n rustige atmosfeer en baie gasvrye eienaars.

Ek en my vrou met ons twee twintigers kinders het dit baie geniet met die rustige omgewing. Daar is baie stapplek sou jy dit wou doen en die natuur is pragtig. Netjiese wooneenheid met genoeg spasie vir 'n redelike kuier. Enigste iets wat gepla het was die padgedruis wat bietjie naby is.

Schaefer's Halt is 'n pragtige, natuurskone plek waar jy weer kan asemhaal.

Ons het in die Snug oorgeslaap wat 'n knus, aardse en verwelkomende plekkie is met 'n pragtige uitsig oor twee van die damme op die plaas, asook die heuwels van die Hoogland Kronkeling. Dit bied uitstekende waarde vir geld en rus vir jou siel. Ons enigste "hiccups" was dat die Snug 'n klein bietjie naby aan die hoofpad en spoorlyn is, so die omgewing is nie 100% sonder verkeerdruisings nie. Ook, dis bietjie ver om uit die dorp te ry en die pad in die nag is maar bietjie donker en gevaarlik om te ry. Ten spyte van hierdie tekortkominge, het ons lekker gekuier en goed uitgerus. Volgende keer neem ek 'n visstok saam, want Schaefer's Halt is beslis 'n visserman (of -vrou) se droom.

Schaefer's Halt is a beautiful, scenic place where you can breathe again.

We slept in the Snug, which is a cosy, earthy and welcoming place with a beautiful view of two of the ponds on the farm, as well as the hills of the Hoogland Kronkeling. It offers excellent value for money and rest for your soul. Our only hiccups were that the Snug is a little close to the main road and railway, so the environment is not 100% noise free. Also, it's a bit far to drive out of town and the road at night is a bit dark and dangerous to drive. Despite these shortcomings, we had a good time and were well rested. Next time I'll bring a fishing rod, because Schaefer's Halt is definitely a fisherman's (or woman's) dream.

Lieflike plek!

Ek het my seuns (6,9,11) en hulle nefie (12) na Schaefers Halt geneem vir heerlike vlieghengel. Daar is 3 heerlike groot damme en die kinders kon dit geniet en dit is heel veilig. Waarvan ek gehou het is dat "catch en release" toelaatbaar is (of jy kan die vis hou), wat dit die ideale plek maak. Hulle is geleë so 27 km van Dullstroom, so dis heel maklik om die oggend in Dullstroom te spandeer en heerlik te eet. Die cottage is egter heeltemal toegerus om selfsorg te wees en ons het heerlik vuur gemaak en kos gemaak op die stoep om die sonsondergang te waardeer. Die enigste nadeel is dat dit nogal naby die besige pad is en mens kan die verkeer hoor en sien. Die plek is egter sowaar waarde vir geld en sal beslis dit aanbeveel en weer daar tyd kom spandeer. Baie dankie and Trevor en Sharon vir hulle wonderlike gasvryheid! Gaan geniet Shaefers' Halt!

Lovely place!

I took my sons (6,9,11) and their nephew (12) to Schaefers Halt for some great fly fishing. There are 3 lovely large ponds and the children could enjoy them and it is very safe. What I liked is that "catch and release" is allowed (or you can keep the fish), which makes it the ideal place. They are located about 27 km from Dullstroom, so it's very easy to spend the morning in Dullstroom and eat deliciously. However, the cottage is fully equipped to be self-catering and we had a lovely fire and cooked food on the veranda to appreciate the sunset. The only downside is that it is quite close to the busy road and you can hear and see the traffic. However, the place is really value for money and would definitely recommend it and spend time there again. Many thanks to Trevor and Sharon for their wonderful hospitality! Go enjoy Shaefers' Halt!

Snoesig in die "Snug"!

Dis bitter min dat akkommodasie beter is en lyk in die 'regte lewe' as op foto's. Maar dis die geval met Schaefers' Halt. Die eenhede is pragtig, volledig toegerus en bied alles wat mens kan nodig he vir 'n naweek wegbreek in Dullstroom. Ons sal graag teruggaan in die somer om in die damme te baljaar! Belangrik om op te let dat die eenheid slegs gediens word met vooraf reëling - ons sal volgende keer beter beplan in hierdie verband.

Cozy!

You don't often find accommodation that is beter and looks beter in the "real life" than the pictures. But with Schaefers' Halt this is the case. The units are beautiful, fully-equipped and provides everything you need for a weekend getaway in Dullstroom. We want to go back in summer to enjoy the dams! Please note that the unit is only serviced by prior arrangement - next time we will plan a bit better in this regard.

Die oulikste Liewe Heksie huisie met alles wat jy benodig om 'n koel wintersnaweek vriendelik warm te geniet. Lekker gebraai, lekker warm geslaap met die kaggel in die hoek en genoeg hout vir beide. Ongelukkig was die matras bietjie uitgelê. Maar dis die enigste verbetering wat gedoen kan word, alles anders was beter as perfek.
