What an amazing weekend in a very beautiful part of SA.

The hosts, Laetitia and Geert, went out of their way to make our stay as memorable as possible. From the regular communication in the run-up to our arrival to the welcoming committee of 7 donkeys and the final goodbye when we departed, they were the most gracious hosts. Breakfast at the coffee shop on the premises was excellent and was only eclipsed by the selection of Belgian beers we were able to sample, courtesy of our host and beer aficionado, Geert. Although the gravel road from Dullstrom to Tonteldoos is not for the fainthearted, you are rewarded with the absolute tranquillity and beauty of your destination, The Silver Kudu. Thanks for a wonderful weekend and we will definitely be back!

Absoluut fantasties!

Die eienaars is die gaafste mense wat ek in 'n lang tyd ontmoet het en hulle kon nie genoeg doen vir ons nie. Dit was 'n heerlike ervaring en een wat ek hoop ons weer sal kan beleef. Daar is ook 'n koffiewinkel wat ligte etes bedien wat werklik goed was. Die hele naweek was net perfek!

Absolutely fantastic!

The owners are the nicest people I have met in a long time and they couldn't do enough for us. It was a wonderful experience and one that I hope we will be able to experience again. There is also a coffee shop that serves light meals which was really good. The whole weekend was just perfect!

Die ou kerkie is pragtig gerestoureer. Alles wat jy nodig het en hope rustigheid en stilte.

Baie dankie Leatitia en Gert (en Molly) vir julle warm gasvryheid. Ons sal definitief weer kom kuier as ons in die omgewing is.

Wat 'n lekker plek om net vrede vir die siel te vind.

Wanneer jy 'n wegbreek en blaaskans nodig het van die besige stad is The Silver Kudu beslis die plek om te gaan asem skep. In die stilte van Tondeldoos het ons lekker saamgekuier, lekker plekke besoek in die omliggende area en as gesin tyd spandeer. Ek sal beslis The Silver Kudu aanbeveel.

What a nice place to just find peace for the soul.

When you need a break and a break from the busy city, The Silver Kudu is definitely the place to go to catch your breath. In the silence of Tondeldoos we had fun together, visited nice places in the surrounding area and spent time as a family. I would definitely recommend The Silver Kudu.

Skoon, netjies, snoesig.

Die donkies wat kom kuier is 'n oulike verrassing. Yskas bietjie klein vir 6 mense se vleis/kos en ys maar manageable. Die koolstoof is lekker snoesig en breek die ergste koue verder is die stilte en spasie en rustigheid 'n groot pluspunt veral as mens wil rus en kuier. Kamers ruim skoon en netjies. Badkamer is lieflik met die heater binne wil mens amper nie iemand anders 'n kans gee nie. Die eienaars is verskriklik behulpsaam en oulik! Onthou dis 'n lang grondpad dorp toe so probeer maar alles saam neem (kos verband).

Clean, tidy, cuddly.

The donkeys that come to visit are a cute surprise. Fridge a bit small for 6 people's meat/food and ice but manageable. The coal stove is nice and cozy and breaks the worst cold, furthermore the silence and space and tranquility is a big plus especially if you want to rest and visit. Rooms spacious clean and tidy. Bathroom is lovely with the heater inside you almost don't want to give someone else a chance. The owners are incredibly helpful and cute! Remember it's a long dirt road to town so try to take everything with you (cost of mortgage).

A peaceful, beautiful little cottage, with the most welcoming hosts.

We felt so welcomed and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, sunsets, as well as the visits from the friendly donkeys.

Rustig. Stil omgewing. Pragtige uitsig.

'n Perfekte wegbreek vir 'n kuiernaweek saam met die gesin. Skoon en gemaklik met 'n stofie vir koue aande, naby genoeg aan die gewoel van Dulla, maar ver genoeg om niks en niemand om jou te sien nie. Die mak donkies het die geleentheid net nog meer spesiaal gemaak.

Restful. Quiet environment. Beautiful view.

A perfect getaway for a weekend getaway with the family. Clean and comfortable with a blanket for cold evenings, close enough to the hustle and bustle of Dulla, but far enough to see nothing and no one around you. The tame donkeys only made the event even more special.

Baie netjies en mooi.

Baie mooi, netjies en skoon. Die kinders kon hulle musiek so hard luister soos hulle wou sonder dat hulle iemand pla. Grondpad bietjie sleg. Sal nie die pad aandurf met n gewone kar nie.

Very nice, neat and clean. The children could listen to their music as loud as they wanted without disturbing anyone. Dirt road a bit bad. Will not take to the road with an ordinary car.

Lekker rus en vrede.

Besonderse natuurskoon reg aan jou voete, stilte wat jou hart gelukkig maak en jou siel die nodige blaaskans gee van die stad se gejaag. Daarby is Geert & Laetitia besonders vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons sal almal weer daar kom kuier.

Special natural beauty right at your feet, silence that makes your heart happy and gives your soul the necessary break from the city's rush. In addition, Geert & Laetitia are particularly friendly and helpful. We will all visit there again.

Weg van TV, weg van lawaai, skoon en koel lug.

Geert en Laetitia het ons dadelik tuis laat voel. Dit was baie lekker om net te kan sit en gesels, braai, stap en fiets te ry. Geen TV het gehelp dat kinders weer kind word! Moet nie met te lae motor die pad aanpak nie, maar die grondpad was geskraap en heel goed genoeg vir 'n bakkie. Tonteldoos het 'n plattelandse kroeg, koffiewinkel en algemene handelaar.

Away from TV, away from noise, clean and cool air.

Geert and Laetitia immediately made us feel at home. Was so nice to just sit and talk, braai, stroll and ride bicycles. The absence of TV made our children become children again! Don't tackle the road with a vehicle that's too low. However, the gravel road was scraped and well suited for a bakkie. Tonteldoos has a countryside bar, coffee shop and general dealer.
