Very quiet outside the bustle of a small holding with plenty of space and extremely friendly hosts.

We felt very at home with a very friendly reception in our own language by Riki, and we were surprised with the spaciousness and accessories in the unit. There was even an indoor braai, braai accessories, wine glasses and a bottle opener rarely found in self-catering units that are not familiar with our South African culture of braai and good Cape wine. Everything one could possibly need was available, security was sufficient, we had our own alarm remote control at our disposal and even the dogs on the yard further contributed to the general feeling ...

Thanks so much, Riki, we would love to come again!

Baie rustig buite die stadsgewoel op 'n kleinhoewe met baie spasie en uiters vriendelike gasheer.

Ons het baie tuis gevoel deur baie vriendelike ontvangs in ons eie taal deur Riki, en ons was verras deur die baie spasie en toebehore in die eenheid. Daar was selfs 'n binne-braai, braai-toebehore, wynglase en 'n botteloopmaker wat mens selde aantref in selfsorg-eenhede wat nie vertroud is met ons Suid-Afrikaanse kultuur van braai en goeie Kaapse wyn nie. Alles wat mens moontlik kon nodig kry, was daar beskikbaar, sekuriteit was voldoende, ons het ons eie alarm-afstandbeheer tot ons beskikking gehad en selfs die honde op die werf het verder bygedra ...

Baie dankie, Riki, ons sal graag weer wil kom!

Was uitstekend en rustig met gasvryheid van eienaar van plek.

3 aande geslaap by rustige area, slegs kamer, plek sonder enige kamers as jy kinders saamvat.

Vinnige wegbreek.

Vir 'n vinnige wegbreek nie te ver van die Noordelike voorstede is dit perfek.

Wonderful, old fashioned farm-style hospitality and an enormous room, with close proximity to Cape Town, Paarl and Stellenbosch.

Spacious, clean, traditional farm atmosphere, lovely kitchen (well-appointed).

Rustige plaasatmosfeer.

Lekker paar dae ontspan in 'n rustige plaas atmosfeer.

Baie nice rustig en vriendelike tannie.

Met aankoms was ek baie vriendelik verwelkom. Ek hou van die hele idee van in die middel van êrens en nêrens. Ek het plek gesoek om te rus na my lang dag van werk en dit is wat ek gekry het sonder twyfel. Dankie baie.

Walking distance from wedding venue. Very comfortable and neat.

We were welcomed by a very friendly lady. The place has everything you need. Large, open living area.

Loopafstand vanaf trou-venue. Baie gerieflik en netjies.

Baie vriendelike vrou wat ons verwelkom het. Die plek het als wat mens benodig. Groot, oop leefarea.

Instantly felt at home. Friendly service and well furnished.

Wonderful farm atmosphere, tranquil and very friendly service. Well furnished, spacious and I enjoyed it when the puppies came to visit. Very good value for money, can strongly recommend it for a get away.

Onmiddellik tuis gevoel, vriendelike diens en goed toegerus.

Heerlike plaas-atmosfeer, rustig en baie vriendelike diens. Goed toegerus, spasieus en het dit veral geniet toe die hondekinders kom inloer! Baie goeie waarde vir geld, kan sterk aanbeveel vir bietjie wegkomkans.

Rustig met genoeg hout om te braai en hitte te gee.

Dit is goed geleë en binne bereik van N1, net 5 minute. Baie attraksies in omgewing.

Nice and clean, quiet place, close to everything!

I really enjoyed being Martha's guest! She spoils you with delicious rusks, as well as a proper Garies friendliness! It is nice and quiet, yet very close to Paarl and Cape Town. Shops in Klapmuts are just around the corner. I will really recommend it to an individual, as well as a whole family!

Heerlik skoon, stil plek, naby alles!

Ek het dit baie geniet om Martha se gas te wees! Sy bederf mens met heerlike beskuit, asook egte Garies vriendelikheid! Dit is heerlik stil, maar tog naby die Paarl en die Kaap. Winkels is net om die draai, by Klapmuts. Ek sal dit regtig aanbeveel vir die enkeling asook 'n hele familie!

Friendly host lady and she made us feel so at home.

The apartment is a large room surrounded by windows, so it's quite cold in winter. There is a fireplace/braai in the one corner with enough wood. One of the single twin beds is a tad short for a teenager. Only equipped with microwave, no stove. Spacious, modern bathroom. The host went out of her way to make sure everything was fine.

Baie vriendelike gasvrou en ons het baie welkom gevoel.

Die woonstel is een reuse kamer met vensters rondom, dus kan nogal koud word in die winter. Daar is 'n kaggel/ braai in een hoek van die kamer met genoegsame houtvoorraad. Een van die enkelbeddens is 'n bietjie kort vir 'n tiener. Daar is slegs 'n mikrogolf, geen stoofplate nie. Die badkamer is ruim en modern. Die gasvrou het uit haar pad uit gegaan om seker te maak dat ons gemaklik is.

Got some great rest.

We were treated to a warm welcome. Clean and neat accommodation. We had a great stay and we got some proper rest. We recommend Tuinhuis.

Baie lekker geslaap.

Met aankoms was ons hartlik verwelkom. Verblyf gewys wat skoon en netjies was. Ons het lekker gebly en gerus. Sal Tuinhuis aanbeveel.

Not what we expected from the photos.

Owners were not even aware of our booking. Parking about 30 m from the entrance on the other side of the building. Unsafe, no burglar bars. Power failure at about 20:00, never came on again. We didn't sleep well as there were constant hitting and scraping on the roof. We got up at 6 the next morning to get ready to leave. Couldn't prepare anything to eat or make coffee or shower as only 2 candles were available. We had to pack in the dark as the power was still off and left at 6:30. Don't think we'll make use of this facility again.

Dit was nie wat ons verwag het nie (volgens foto's).

Eienaars was nie bewus van ons bespreking nie. Voertuigparkering +- 30 m vanaf ingang aan anderkant van gebou. Onveilig - geen diefwering. Krag het afgegaan omtrent 20:00 en nooit weer aangegaan. Ons het die nag nie goed geslaap, want daar was voortdurend 'n gekap en geskuur op die dak. Ons het om 6:00 die volgende oggend weer opgestaan om klaar te maak, kon nie ete voorberei, koffie maak of stort (slegs twee kerse was beskikbaar), moes in die donker inpak (krag was nogsteeds af) en het ongeveer 06:30 weer vertrek.

Jammer oor die ongerief met die krag , Hannes. Daar was ongelukkig n probleem met die Eskom toevoer . n Boom het op die buurplaas op die kragdrade geval tydens die storm en n totale kragonderbreking veroorsaak . Ongelukkig het julle oorgebly tydens die ergste winterstorm wat in jare die Kaap getref het .Die geraas op die dak was los takke ens wat rondgewaai is . Ons sal probeer om in die toekoms beter voorsorg te tref .

Felt at home on arrival.

You can see that both a man and woman provide their insights with the putting together of the living unit. We immediately felt at home and could relax for 4 days and explore the area. Hospitality was top notch. Ockert and Christa, thanks for everything you did for us.

Het tuis gevoel sommer met die aankoms.

Kan sien dat beide 'n man en vrou het hulle insette gegee met die saamstel van die wooneenheid. Ons het onmiddellik tuis gevoel en kon vir vier dae heerlik ontspan en die omgewing verken. Gasvryheid uit die boonste rakke. Ockert en Christa, baie dankie vir als wat julle gedoen het.

Relaxing and peaceful.

Very quaint place, especially with small children who don't want to sleep alone. No TV which is a big bonus. Good family time. Very friendly and helpful owner.

Rustig en vreedsaam.

Baie oulike plek veral met klein kinders wat nie alleen wil slaap nie. Geen TV wat 'n groot bonus is. Lekker familietyd. Baie vriendelike en behulpsame eienaar.

We were treated like kings! Lovely farm getaway on a working farm.

1. Arrival: We were welcomed not as strangers, but as family. The house was neat and clean with the fans already switched on to make the room a bit cooler on a swelteringly hot day. 2. The kitchen: The fridge had been filled with milk, ice and water. A big bowl with home-made rusks, and all the coffee, tea, rooibos tea and sugar we could need for our stay, was provided. The kitchen part was well equipped. There was even insect poison! Even though there is no stove, we found that the electric pan and microwave was more than sufficient. 3. The living ...

1. Arrival: We were welcomed not as strangers, but as family. The house was neat and clean with the fans already switched on to make the room a bit cooler on a swelteringly hot day. 2. The kitchen: The fridge had been filled with milk, ice and water. A big bowl with home-made rusks, and all the coffee, tea, rooibos tea and sugar we could need for our stay, was provided. The kitchen part was well equipped. There was even insect poison! Even though there is no stove, we found that the electric pan and microwave was more than sufficient. 3. The living and sleeping areas: Unique architechture with eclectic furniture. A mixture of modern pieces, family artefacts and Swedish wooden furniture. The coloured cement floor helped a lot during the heat wave. 4. Bathroom: Modern and very spacious. Fully equipped with user items. 5. For dog lovers it was nice to be visited by six dogs - not all at once though. The presence of the dogs ensured a feeling of safety. We even went to bed one night without closing the door, nevermind locking it! 6. The owners and staff on the farm were friendly and helpful. The owner even filled the cement pool so that we, two city slickers, could have a swim! What an experience! Summary: It was the perfect weekend for us, a good base from which we could explore Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. I really hope we get the chance to stay at Tannie Martha's place again.

Ons is op die hande gedra! Heerlike plaasvakansie op 'n werkende plaas.

1. Aankoms: Ons is verwelkom asof ons nie vreemdelinge nie, maar familie was. Die huis was netjies en skoon, met waaiers wat reeds aangeskakel was om die vertrek op 'n bitter warm dag koeler te maak. 2. Die kombuis: Die yskas was gevul met melk, ys en water. 'n Groot bak tuisgebakte beskuit, en al die koffie, tee, rooibostee en suiker wat ons vir die verblyf nodig gehad het, is voorsien. Die kombuisgedeelte was baie goed toegerus. Daar was selfs insekgif beskikbaar! Alhoewel daar nie 'n stoof is nie, het ons die braaipan en mikrogolf meer as voldoende ...

Die woon- en slaapvertrek: Unieke argitektuur met eklektiese meublement: 'n Vermenging van moderne stukke, familie-artefakte en Sweedse houtmeubels. Die gekleurde sementvloer het baie gehelp tydens die hittegolf. 4. Badkamer: Modern en baie ruim. Volledig toegerus met verbruikbare items. 5. Vir hondeliefhebbers was dit lekker om deur ses honde besoek te word - dit was darem nie almal op een slag nie. Die teenwoordigheid van die honde het 'n gevoel van veiligheid versterk. Ons het selfs een nag geslaap sonder om die deur eers toe te maak, wat nog te sê van om dit te sluit. 6. Die eienaars en personeel op die plaas was deurgaans vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die eienaar het selfs die sementdam volgemaak sodat twee stadsjapies daarin kon swem! Wat 'n belewenis! Opsommend: Dit was vir ons 'n perfekte naweek, 'n goeie basis vanwaar om Kaapstad, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek en die Paarl te verken. Ek hoop regtig dat ons weer die geleentheid sal kry om by Tannie Martha te kan bly.
