Lieflike kuierplek vir gesinswegbreek.

Ons was baie beïndruk met die verblyf by The Hidden Valley. Die hutte is stylvol en gemaklik ingerig met alles wat nodig is. Die omringende natuurskoon was pragtig.

Heerlike wegbreek.

Wow, ons naweek was 'n heerlike wegbreek. Die eenheid is waarlik ten volle ingerig, alles wat jy nodig het en heerlike koffie. Die bemarkingsfoto's is mooi, maar die eenheid en omgewing is nog mooier. Ons is al klaar reg om nog 'n naweek by die akkommodasie te bespreek.

5 x sterre vir die pragtige plek.

Wat 'n pragtige juweel van 'n mooi plek! Ek sal dit vir enige persoon aanbeveel. Daar was geensins iets waaroor ons kon kla nie, alles was netjies en mooi en meer as genoeg van wat ons nodig gehad het vir die naweek. Natuurskoon is pragtig. Eienaars doen regtig baie moeite en is baie gasvry. Sal beslis weer daar wil bespreek in die toekoms. Regtig 'n plek waar jou siel kan rus vind.

There was absolutely nothing we could complain about, everything was neat and pretty and more than enough of what we needed for the weekend. Nature is beautiful.

Great location, beautiful view from the cabin. The place is like paradise to me.

My husband and I enjoyed the breathtaking nature surrounding the place, we rode bikes, took a walk along the river and enjoyed a nice evening braai just gazing at the stars and listening to the sound of nature. Our host Frans is kindhearted. What a generous host, his warm hospitality made our stay a pleasure. The room was supremely comfortable.

The Hidden Valley is een van die lekkerste plekkies wat ons nog op die webtuiste bespreek het. Die cabin het alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Dis prentjiemooi en reg op die rivier. My man kon vlieghengel en ek het lekker gaan stap. Frans gee baie om vir sy gaste. Ons sal weer gaan kuier.

Vir ons was dit 'n wondelike tyd van afskakel, rus, die natuur geniet en herlaai.

Frans en Louise is so gasvry, vriendelik en bedagsaam. Hulle doen beslis die ekstras om dit so gerieflik moontlik en spesiaal te maak - voel sommer dadelik tuis. Die chalet is skoon en mooi en toegerus met alles wat nodig is (geen beurtkrag nie). Die rivier is ongelooflik en die staproete langs die rivier en natuurlik die mooi bome het ons geniet. Vir die natuurliefhebbers sal ek dit beslis aanbeveel.

For us it was a wonderful time to switch off, rest, enjoy nature and recharge.

Frans and Louise are so hospitable, friendly and considerate. They definitely go the extra mile to make it as comfortable as possible and special - feel right at home. The chalet is clean and beautiful and equipped with everything you need (no load shedding). The river is incredible and we enjoyed the walking trail along the river and of course the beautiful trees. For the nature lovers I would definitely recommend it.

Lieflike plek om batterye te herlaai.

Frans en Louise het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel. Die plekkie het als wat mens nodig het met 'n paar ekstra bederfies, en is baie smaakvol toegerus. Die fietsry, en ontspan met binnebande op die rivier, asook visvang, in 'n pragtige, rustige omgewing, was net wat ons nodig gehad het.

Heerlik!

Ons het 'n heerlike naweek gehad by Hidden Valley. Lekker rustig in die natuur. Ons het gaan stap, fiets gery en ontspan in die rivier op die tubes - tubes en fietse word voorsien. Die eerste aand se braaihout was ook ingesluit. Asook vars plaaseiers in die yskas en vars vrugte in die kamer, en 'n bak vol tuisgebakte gemmerkoekies. Kan beslis The Hidden Valley vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

Delicious!

We had a lovely weekend at Hidden Valley. Nice and quiet in nature. We went walking, cycling and relaxing in the river on the tubes - tubes and bikes are provided. The first night's braai wood was also included. As well as fresh farm eggs in the fridge and fresh fruit in the room, and a bowl full of home-baked gingerbread cookies. Can definitely recommend The Hidden Valley to anyone.

Dit was 'n ervaring om so na aan die natuur te wees. Vreedsaam.

Die huisie het als wat jy nodig het, al die geriewe in die natuur. Ons was verwelkom en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Die stilte is ongelooflik en jy kan behoorlik rus weg van die gejaagde lewe. Die eienaars doen baie moeite. Ons het dit ongelooflik baie geniet.

Ongelooflike natuur, baie netjies en goed vir die siel.

Frans en Louise is wonderlike gashere, hulle doen baie moeite om seker te maak mens voel tuis. Die houthuisies is baie gerieflik, skoon en netjies. Baie gemaklike beddens en moderne binneversiering maak dit baie smaakvol. Dit is 'n ongelooflike natuurtoneel met skoon rivier waar mens met tubes en canoe's kan verken, die kinders geniet dit. Dit is baie privaat en stil, mens kan die al die geluide van die natuur en voëls geniet. Dit was vir seker een van ons gunstelingplekke om te kuier.

Rustig, wonderlike natuurskoon.

Die foto's op die webtuiste is effe misleidend - die kothuise is baie nader aan die rivier. Die ligging is wonderlik, en die natuur is letterlik op jou voorstoep! Geniet graag die binnebandry op die rivier - mits dit baie gereën het stroomop! Ons beveel dit baie sterk aan. Die huisies is baie goed ingerig met alkes wat jy kan nodig hê, en die badkamers is met baie insig uitgelê!

Dit was lekker rustig, net nie lekker in die aand. Want die goggas pla en dan moet jy net in die kamer bly. En met die oppak was dit nie maklik met al die swaar goed op by die trappe want die voertuig ver van die hit af.

Hidden Valley is geleë in 'n pragtige area, die naweek was egter versuur deur 'n nors oom Frans wat glad nie vriendelik of gasvry voorkom nie.

Die oom het ons 'n paar keer oor die naweek kom besoek. Het glad nie ons privaatheid geniet nie (privaatheid wat mens van 'n naweek weg verwag). Die GPS koördinate is glad nie korrek nie, ons het in ons kanon in verdwaal. 'n WhatsApp location was toe gestuur wat ons ook na die verkeerde plek toe gevat het. Ons het Vrydagaand eers half 9 by die Hidden Valley aangekom. Frans kan 'n ding of 2 leer van gasvryheid en vriendelikheid. Die kort kort inloer van die oom was onnodig, kon glad nie ons privaatheid geniet nie. Ons sal die plek nie weer besoek nie.

Hidden Valley is located in a beautiful area, however the weekend was soured by a grumpy uncle French who does not appear friendly or hospitable at all.

The uncle came to visit us a few times over the weekend. Didn't enjoy our privacy at all (privacy one expects from a weekend away). The GPS coordinates are not correct at all, we got lost in our canon. A WhatsApp location was then sent which also took us to the wrong place. We didn't arrive at the Hidden Valley until half past 9 on Friday night. French could learn a thing or 2 about hospitality and kindness. The short visit of the uncle was unnecessary, could not enjoy our privacy at all. We will not visit the place again.

Dankie vir jou terugvoering. Dit maak ons ​​hartseer dat julle gevoel het dat ons inbreuk maak op julle privaatheid op die twee geleenthede wat ons kom kyk het of alles goed gaan met julle en of daar iets is wat julle nodig het. Ons is 'n klein kampie en ons probeer verseker dat ons persoonlike aandag aan ons gaste gee.
Ja, dit was baie jammer dat julle nie die aanwysings wat ons verskaf het gevolg het nie en dus verdwaal het. Daarom stuur ons altyd gedetailleerde aanwysings aan gaste en vra hulle om versigtig te volg. Ons is jammer dat julle nie ag geslaan het op ons waarskuwing dat gaste nie net Google moet gebruik omdat Google nie die beste roete na ons verskaf nie en dit lei tot 'n baie frustrerende ervaring.

Silwerskoon, pragtige natuurskoon en aangename gasheer.

As jy graag voëls kyk, dan is hierdie die plek om skaars voëls te sien. Dit is stil en uitstekend toegerus - van koffie tot muskietweermiddel. Die rivierwoud is pragtig en sou jy nog wil roei of fietsry is daar nogal fietse en 'n kano vir jou gebruik.

Amazing, relaxing, peaceful and very pleasant.

My friend and I stayed at this amazing gem of a place this weekend for my birthday getaway which I celebrated on the 9th Aug. We loved everything about this place, I enjoyed walking along the river though it proved how unfit I was. The sound of the river flowing is to die for. Our host Frans is super hospitable and really made us feel welcome and for that we are grateful. The cabin was so cozy and it was a home away from our homes. We will definitely fly the hidden valley flag so high. The only thing I'd recommend is to use a high profile vehicle as the dirt road has some very challenging rough parts for low profile vehicles, however, that doesn't change the fact that I loved everything about this place. Frans and Louise you guys are lucky for having such an amazing place.

What a fabulous little place, right on the banks of the Breede River!

The Hidden Valley is the kind of place where you'd like to bring your family for a whole holiday. There's two cottages, very well appointed, and then that slow-flowing river. For the little ones, there is the stretch right in front of the cottages where the river is very shallow and where they can safely play. A bit further on are lovely deep pools that would be great in summer. The cottages have everything you need to float, canoes, tubes, you name it. There's also an undercover deck with lovely sofas and a big kitchen where the whole group can relax and play some of the board games on offer. The place is idyllic and for bird-watchers it's a paradise. Frans and Luise are also great hosts.

Lekker naweek by Hidden Valley.

Ons het aanvanklik die artikel in die koerant gesien en besluit om dit te probeer. Soos my man gese het, nie Hidden Valley nie maar Hidden Eden. Ons het so lekker gebly en die eienaars is vriendelik en behulpsaam. En ja die voëllewe is ongelooflik. Ek het sommer 10 voëls by my lysie gevoeg en was so gelukkig met die Bosloerie as een. Daar is ook lekker staproetes en jy kan met hartelus van al jou ekstra energie ontslae raak. Hier is jy naby aan die natuur en kan jy kan vergeet van die donkerwolk wat die virus oor ons hang.

Have a great weekend at Hidden Valley.

We initially saw the article in the newspaper and decided to give it a try. As my husband said, not Hidden Valley but Hidden Eden. We had such a nice stay and the owners are friendly and helpful. And yes the bird life is amazing. I just added 10 birds to my list and was so happy with the Bosluerie as one. There are also nice hiking trails and you can get rid of all your extra energy to your heart's content. Here you are close to nature and can forget about the dark cloud that the virus hangs over us.

Beste vakansie in 63 jaar.

Ek kan jou niks vertel nie, jy moet dit ervaar. Die eienaars is ongelooflik vriendelik en ons kan geen slegte terugvoering gee nie. Ons hoop om saam vriende weer voor einde Desember 2021 te gaan.

Wonderlike, rustige wegbreek langs die Blyderivier.

Ons het elke oomblik by Hidden Valley geniet. Die eienaars het so baie moeite gedoen om seker te maak dat jy niks meer nodig het nie en het aan alles gedink. Jy kan sien dat hulle baie omgee vir die plek en dit is wonderlik om daarin te kan deel. Die ligging is pragtig langs die rivier tussen die massiewe bome.

Wonderful, peaceful getaway along the Blyde River.

We enjoyed every moment at Hidden Valley. The owners have put so much effort into making sure you don't need anything more and have thought of everything. You can tell they care a lot about the place and it's great to be able to share in it. The location is beautiful next to the river among the massive trees.

Indeed it is a hidden valley. We enjoyed our stay tremdously.

What a experience. This gem in Hoedspruit is just awesome. The hosts are the best. Friendly, making sure everything is fine, joined us in river rafting and caring. The cabins are exceptionally well maintained, the furniture excellent and there is everything one needs. We did river rafting with tubes and fished - even caught bass which we released and the the paths next to the river is well maintained. A good spot for birding - even saw the Pel's fishing owl in flight.

Wonderlike kuier in die natuur, weg van die stad se lawaai.

Asemrowende natuurskoon langs die pragtige Blyderivier met verskeidenheid van vis, voëls en wildlewe. Die chalets was eenvoudig tog stylvol ingerig en baie prakties en baie skoon. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik, gasvry en behulpsaam. Ideale wegbreeknaweek indien jy soek na 'n bietjie afsondering in die skone natuur.

Wonderful visit in nature, away from the city's noise.

Breathtaking scenery along the beautiful Blyde River with variety of fish, birds and wildlife. The chalets were simply yet stylishly furnished and very practical and very clean. The owners are very friendly, hospitable and helpful. Ideal weekend getaway if you are looking for a bit of seclusion in beautiful nature.

Bederf naby die natuur. Baie aandag aan detail.

Hidden Valley is 'n besonderse mooi plek. Baie aandag gegee aan detail om die kuier so lekker en gemaklik as moontlik te maak. Alles is aan gedink - selfs 'n paar opsies van kanoes om die rivier te kan geniet. Lekker kuierplekkies onder groot bome. Behoorlike kos vir die siel. Kinders het dit ook baie geniet. Visvang ook heerlik. Ons sal definitief weer kom.

Pamper yourself close to nature. Lots of attention to detail.

Hidden Valley is a particularly beautiful place. Much attention paid to detail to make the visit as pleasant and comfortable as possible. Everything has been thought of - even some options of canoes to enjoy the river. Nice places to hang out under big trees. Proper food for the soul. Children also really enjoyed it. Great fishing too. We will definitely come again.

Rustige wegbreekkans op die oewer van die Blyderivier.

Hierdie is die perfekte wegbreekgeleentheid van die stadslewe. Daar is net twee houthuisies by The Hidden Valley, so as jy ander mense wil sien gedurende jou kuier, moet jy hulle saambring. As jy nie mense verkies nie, is die wild volop in die natuurreservaat waar enige wandeling deur die park versekerd is van 'n ontmoeting met 'n kameelperd of sebra. Die huisies kyk uit op die Blyderivier, waarvan mens 'n hele strook het waarlangs, waarin en waarop jy kan gaan ontspan met staproetes, poele en binnebande waarmee jy kan afdryf op die rivier. In Hoedspruit se hitte, is die afkoel van 'n laatmiddag swem broodnodig. Frans en Louise het hier 'n stukkie van die bos omskep in 'n tuiste wat mens mens nie kan miskyk gedurende jou verkenning van die Blyderiviervallei nie. Ek kan nie wag om weer te gaan kuier nie.

Peaceful getaway on the banks of the Blyde River.

This is the perfect getaway from city life. There are only two cabins at The Hidden Valley, so if you want to see other people during your visit, you should bring them along. If you don't prefer people, wildlife abounds in the nature reserve where any walk through the park is guaranteed to meet a giraffe or zebra. The cottages overlook the Blyde River, along which you have a whole strip where you can go and relax with hiking trails, pools and inner tubes with which you can float down the river. In Hoedspruit's heat, cooling off from a late afternoon swim is much needed. Frans and Louise have transformed a piece of the forest into a home that one cannot overlook during your exploration of the Blyde River Valley. I can't wait to visit again.
