Lekker rustig in die bos.

Ons het 'n amazing rustige tyd gehad. Die huisie was goed ingerig reg langs die rivier. Ons het meestal gaan stap saam met die honde en net die natuurskoon geniet. Die buite-stort is n wenner!

Unieke verblyf in fantastiese vakmanskap.

Hierdie 4 huisies is deur Rob en 'n klein spannetjie mense gebou en getuig van baie verbeeldingrykheid en die hoogste vakmanskap. Dit voel amper soos om in 'n klein skepie te bly. Twee huisies is half in die woud (en het al fresco storte) en twee staan meer in die middel van 'n grasperk wat uitkyk oor die woud. Mens het 'n verder uitsig van laasgenoemde twee. Ons het so lekker gebly dat ons die verblyf met 'n nag verleng het.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Unique accommodation in fantastic craftsmanship.

These 4 houses were built by Rob and a small team of people and testify to a lot of imagination and the highest craftsmanship. It almost feels like staying in a small ship. Two cottages are half in the forest (and have al fresco showers) and two stand more in the middle of a lawn overlooking the forest. One has a further view of the latter two. We had such a nice stay that we extended the stay by a night.

Absoluut ’n juweel.

Dit was ’n ongelooflike ervaring. Dit voel of jy diep in die woud bly en wil net kort-kort loer of daar nie kabouters is nie. Mens is te bang om te praat want jy kan dalk die natuur se harmonie versteur. Die gekabbel van die stroompie het dit so rustig gemaak. Die buitestort was ’n absolute juweel. En al die mooi voëls. Ons gaan definitief weer daar kuier

Absolutely a gem.

It was an incredible experience. It feels like you live deep in the forest and only want to peek every now and then to see if there are any goblins. One is too afraid to speak because you might disturb nature's harmony. The babbling of the stream made it so peaceful. The outdoor shower was an absolute gem. And all the beautiful birds. We will definitely visit there again

The loveliest place we have ever stayed at. Romantic, by the stream, virtually in the indigenous forest. We had a healthy storm that night which knocked out the power, but it just added to the ambiance.

Rob Scott showed me his precious bulb collection and made me an enthusiast. I would go there again tomorrow if I could.

Rustig, stil, lekker ontspanne. Baie mooi omgewing.

The Shire was iets heeltemal anders. Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet, die stilte, die ongelooflike mooi ligging en omgewing laat jou lekker ontspan, ons het die staproetes deur die woud baie geniet en dit was mooi en veilig. Ons het ook gehou van die inligting binne ons huisie wat ons meer van die geskiedenis en omgewing vertel het. Die eienaars en staf was gasvry, vriendelik en akkommoderend. Ons sal dit verseker aanbeveel aan vriende en familie.

The Shire was something completely different. We really enjoyed our stay, the silence, the incredibly beautiful location and surroundings let you relax, we really enjoyed the hiking trails through the forest and it was beautiful and safe. We also liked the information inside our cottage which told us more about the history and surroundings. The owners and staff were hospitable, friendly and accommodating. We will certainly recommend it to friends and family.

Dit was wonderlik en asemrowend.

'n Mens vergeet die natuur en die diere daar buite as jy in die stad bly. Tegnologie neem oor en daar is nie kommunikasie in die huishoudings nie. Die naweek het vir my en my man baie goed gedoen en ook tyd gemaak vir gesels sonder selfone, laptops, TV ens. Ons kon oor alles weer soos ouds gesels. Ek beveel regtig enige iemand aand om hierna weg te breek. Die mense is vriendelik en so behulpsaam.

I really recommend anyone to break away after this. The people are friendly and so helpful.

Magical stay in a beautiful cottage.

The Shire is simply magical. Tucked away in a clearing, surrounded by forest, at the foot of the mountain range, the little, wooden cottages are beautiful! I love the fact that everything was handcrafted by the owners, it just gives them this extra magical feeling. You can feel passion and love that went into creating these marvelous cottages, which are very spacious as well. There are hiking trails available for those who love nature and walks, and it is situated close to Forest Way where there is a picnic area and more hiking trails up to the waterfalls. The Shire, even though it is quite out of town, it is still not too far should you need to get anything from the shops there (taking approximately 15 min to get to any one shop). The nights are particularly magical, in the sense that the night sky is breathtakingly beautiful. I have never seen so many stars in the sky before. We spent the evenings gazing up at the sky, looking out for shooting stars. With the rolling mountains, forests, and quaint little houses, it is aptly named the Shire. I will definitely be making a return visit to this magical place. I loved every moment of it.

Wonderlike omgewing, lieflike atmosfeer in die chalet, vriendelike diens.

Die ontwerp van die chalets is iets besonders, binne en buite. 'n Mens voel gekoester deur die interieur met sy afrondings, spitsdak en die keurige houtwerk. Dit opsigself is 'n kunswerk! Die nabyheid van die inheemse bos en 'n bergstroom skep ook 'n heerlike atmosfeer van kalmte en skoonheid. Pragtige groot geelhoutbome, watervalle op die voetslaanpaaie en die geluide van baie voëls dra by tot hierdie ervaring van onbelemmerde skoonheid. Die vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid van die eienaars span die kroon!

Wonderful surroundings, lovely atmosphere in the chalet, friendly service.

The design of the chalets is something special, inside and out. One feels cherished by the interior with its finishes, peaked roof and the exquisite woodwork. That in itself is a work of art! The proximity of the native forest and a mountain stream also creates a wonderful atmosphere of calm and beauty. Beautiful large yellowwood trees, waterfalls on the footpaths and the sounds of many birds add to this experience of unobstructed beauty. The kindness and helpfulness of the owners is the crowning glory!

Ek het dit baie geniet: netjiese verblyf en lieflike omgewing!

Ek het alleen een nag oorgeslaap en dit ideaal gevind. Ek kon gaan stap in die bospaaie en die stilte en natuur geniet. Die eenheid was goed ingerig vir my behoeftes. Ek sal beslis saam met vriende weer kom.

I really enjoyed it: neat accommodation and lovely surroundings!

I only stayed one night and found it ideal. I could go for a walk in the forest paths and enjoy the silence and nature. The unit was well appointed for my needs. I will definitely come again with friends.

Die mooiste plek!

Sal die plekkie baie sterk aanbeveel vir almal wat rus nodig het. Die huisie is so interessant en pragtig ingerig. Die gasvryheid is onverbeterlik!

Verblyf was perfek. Dankie!

Ons het 'n bietjie gesukkel om die plek te kry aangesien daar nie 'n bord langs die pad was nie (die oorspronklike pad het verspoel). Ons het egter telefonies reggekom. Dankie.

Stay was perfect. Thank you!

We had a little trouble finding the place as there was no sign along the road (the original road was washed away). However, we managed by phone. Thank you.

Beslis 'n plek waar mens kan asemskep en herlaai.

Alhoewel ons vir 2 nagte bespreek en betaal het, was ons van plan om net een nag oor te bly en dan die lang pad aan te pak terug Johannesburg toe. Maar, nadat ons by die Shire aangekom het, het ons dadelik van plan verander en 2 nagte oorgebly. Almal het ons vriendelik ontvang, ons het die heerlikste vars vrugte en brood by Rob-hulle gekoop, die huis was skoon en netjies, en ons het heerlik gaan stap in die woud by Shire. Kan dit gerus aanbeveel vir enigeen wat in die Stutterheim-omgewing is. Onthou om te vra vir een van die twee lodges met die bosstorte wanneer julle bespreek!

Definitely a place where you can catch your breath and recharge.

Although we had booked and paid for 2 nights, we intended to stay only one night and then make the long journey back to Johannesburg. But, after arriving at the Shire, we immediately changed our minds and stayed 2 nights. Everyone received us kindly, we bought the most delicious fresh fruit and bread from Rob, the house was clean and tidy, and we went for a lovely walk in the forest at Shire. Can easily recommend it to anyone in the Stutterheim area. Remember to ask for one of the two lodges with the forest showers when you book!
