Ons het 'n baie aangename tyd beleef. Net jammer van die slegte grondpad om by die plek uit te kom.

Unieke huisvesting en baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige gashere. Ek beveel net aan dat die advertensie melding moet maak van die feit dat daar 'n redelike lang, lelike stuk grondpad gery moet word. Ek sou nie gegaan het as ek dit geweet het nie.

We had a very pleasant time. Just a pity about the bad dirt road to get to the place.

Unique accommodation and very friendly and helpful hosts. I just recommend that the ad mention the fact that there is a fairly long, ugly stretch of dirt road to drive. I wouldn't have gone if I had known.

The Funny Farm Shire 's response

The gravel road is 3.4 kilometres and the condition varies depending on when Eden Roads grade. Generally the road is graded every 4 to 6 weeks.

Lord of the Rings-tema.

Ses nagte in Hobbit House by Funny Farm Shire gebly (oor Kersfees) saam met familie - baie mooi, fantasiese uitsig en baie rustig. Het die Lord of the Rings-tema verblyf/plaas en staproetes baie geniet (my hond ook! Beste walkies!) Baie vriendelike en behulpsame hosts ook. Groot private/omheinde tuin.

Lord of the Rings-tema.

Stayed six nights in Hobbit House at Funny Farm Shire (over Christmas) with family - very beautiful, fantastic view and very peaceful. Really enjoyed the Lord of the Rings themed accommodation/farm and walks (my dog too! Best walkies!) Very friendly and helpful hosts too. Large private/fenced garden.

We had a wonderful stay at The Shire.

The house was clean and spacious, and fully equipped to make our stay very comfortable. The property was fully enclosed which enabled us to take our little dog. That area is beautiful, a great getaway, close to the sea, and forest walks. The owners were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely go back when we next visit the area.

Ons het dit baie geniet.

Die uitsig oor Langvlei is baie mooi en die roep van die visarende is die "cherry" op die koek.

We enjoyed it very much.

The view over Langvlei is very beautiful and the call of the osprey is the "cherry" on the cake.

As resident in an urban concrete jungle, it was such a luxury to have that wide expanse of lawn.

My dogs loved running around on it, and encountering the (neighbour's) horses. The cottages are "hobbit-themed" and whether that appeals or not it is certainly well-built, charming, and well laid out. The stoep extends from the living area and we spent the cooler parts of the day on it, enjoying that lawn.

Peaceful and relaxing.

Fantastic accommodation if you like nature and silence. Reception was hospitable and friendly. Recommendation: take all necessities with you, a bit far from shops.

So pragtig en rustig - wonderlik!

Ons het ons verblyf werklik geniet. Ons huisie was skoon en netjies. Die natuurskoon is onbeskryflik en die sterreprag het ons sonder woorde gelaat. Tessa en Jerry was vriendelik, hulpvaardig en het ons tuis laat voel.

Perfect place to forget everything!

Everything was perfect! Would be even better if there was a bathroom door.

Plaaslewe by die see.

Lekker gesellig gebly in die Hobbit House. Die roep van die visarende en die uile het elke braai net meer spesiaal gemaak. Ligging is ideaal vir 'n rustige vakansie by die see.

Farm life by the sea.

Had a nice cozy stay in the Hobbit House. The calls of the ospreys and the owls made every braai just more special. Location is ideal for a peaceful holiday by the sea.
