Peaceful, working farm stay!

The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I had not realised it was so close to the main house, but in general this was not a problem. There is a lovely cafe and farm shop on the property, which I recommend. The property has a large number of outdoor activities - swimming, hiking, biking, birding. It was a lovely location to stay. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Centrally located, easy-to-access, tranquil farm stay.

We had a lovely (although fleeting) stay. We came to swim the Ebenezer Mile and needed an easy-to-access place to spend one night. This venue was ideal as it is close to the main road, central to the area, and no 4x4 needed. It would be a great place to spend a longer time. We would have enjoyed doing more open water swimming in the lake and dam, and visiting all the lovely Magoebaskloof attractions.

Heerlik en verfrissend.

Fantastiese ligging en die plekkie is stil en vreedsaam. Die area het heelwat om te doen en sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel. Met die reën het ons darem 'n mooiweersdag gehad om die plaas te verken.

Ok, not the best, at least it has a good view.

The location sent via SMS takes you to the incorrect area. The WiFi does not work. The cupboard is infested with dead ants. The bunk beds were not stable, so we could not utilize both; one person ended up sleeping on the couch. One of the pillows and the bedding in the queen-sized bed had spots of blood on it. Only two towels left out for four guests. The house does need a repaint.

Kuier was rustig en ontspanne.

Die huisie kort 'n bietjie verf. Die linkerkantste wasbakkraan was los. Die kothuis het net 'n bad. Sou 'n stort verkies. Daar was spinnerakke op die klippe by die kaggel. Die omgewing is beeldskoon en die gasheer vriendelik.

The cottage needs some paint. The left hand basin faucet was loose. The cottage only has a bath. Would prefer a shower. There were cobwebs on the stones by the fireplace. The surroundings are picturesque and the host friendly.

We had lovely walks around the farm accompanied by 2 eager, well disciplined dogs.

The kitchen is well equipped, bedding was comfortable and warm. Power was intermittently off due to loadshedding and probably weather, but a good led light and candles were provided. Please note that no coffee, tea or hairdryer is provided. Stay was comfortable nonetheless due to fireplace, gas stove, and we had no issues with warm water.

Uiters goeie ligging vir Magoebaskloof-omgewing. Ons het vir drie nagte gebly en het elke dag 'n reis na onder andere: Haenertsburg, Zakwala en so paar staproetes ingewerk. Die huisie bied alles wat mens benodig met 'n ongelooflik mooi uitsig, perfek vir lekker kuier.

Ons was baie gasvry verwelkom deur die eienaars van die plaas en hulle het vinnig ons kom help as ons iets benodig het. Baie goeie diens. En oulike hondjies wat mens kom groet in die oggende.

Extremely good location for Magoebaskloof area. We stayed for three nights and included a trip to Haenertsburg, Zakwala and some hiking trails every day. The house offers everything you need with an incredibly beautiful view, perfect for a nice visit.

We were very hospitably welcomed by the owners of the farm and they quickly came to help us if we needed anything. Very good service. And cute puppies that come to greet you in the mornings.

We will stay there again - Rose Cottage and Turaco are my 2 picks for Haenertsburg/Magoebaskloof.

Had some issues with hot water availability. Stay was too short to give a comprehensive review - we were in and out and attended a wedding so we were there for very short periods of time.

Retreat in the garden.

We enjoyed a quiet and peaceful week on the farm. The cottage was well- equipped, just needed a toaster. And offered a stunning view of Ebenezer Dam, offered very comfortable sleep and a cozy fireplace on colder nights. Although the cottage is close to the farm house, it was still private and we barely saw the owners. Staff are friendly and on call, if one needs assistance!

'n Wonderlike wegbreek wat volkome aan al ons vereistes voldoen.

Die kothuis is volledig toegerus, netjies en ruim. Die uitsig deur die vensters en vanaf die stoep stel nie teleur nie, en die menige voetslaan opsies is gemaklik binne bereik. Daar is baie om te doen in die omgewing as jy aktief is, en hierdie kothuis is so aantreklik as jy rustig wil tuisbly en die dam, woude en voëls geniet. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en wonderlik hanteer deur die gasheer. Julle sien ons beslis gou weer!

Pragtige uitsigte.

Die enigste negatiewe aspek is dat ons nie langer gebly het nie! Ek en my vrou het 4 aande spandeer en het eerlikwaar met swaar harte van die plaas af vertrek. Die dam is pragtig, ons het elke oggend gaan fietsry - daar is genoeg ryplek op die plaas en om die dam. Ons het meer as genoeg hout gehad vir die kaggel, die restaurant op die plaas is puik, die plaaseienaars en personeel is almal vriendelik en behulpsaam. Selfs "Starbuck", die hond op die plaas, is vriendelik. Dit was 'n fantastiese week en ons kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie.

Stunning views.

Such a pity we couldn't stay longer! My wife and I stayed 4 nights and we left the farm with heavy hearts. Beautiful dam, went cycling every morning - you can cycle on the farm and round the dam. More than enough wood for the fireplace, excellent restaurant on the farm, the owners of the farm and the staff are really friendly. Even "Starbuck" the dog is such a friendly doggie. What an awesome week we can't wait be back.

Great location, but cottage missing finer touches.

We stayed at Turaco while attending a wedding in the area. The location and views of the cottage is superb and I would in all likelihood return. However we missed some of the finer touches that would have made the stay more enjoyable. We arrived late Friday afternoon to a freezing cottage. While there were big logs in the fireplace there was no blitz or newspaper to get the fire going. The gas heater did not have a gas cylinder. While the owners were away the weekend we were there we would be skeptical to book if they were home, as the cottage's bedroom windows and door look out onto their home. This means you would have to keep everything dark and closed up if you wanted privacy in the bedroom. There is also no mirror with enough light to do make up or your hair. It's a minor issue, but if you are here for a wedding and want to look your best, it's important. There is also no shower and the bed's mattress needs replacing as you sink into the middle. We were looking forward to taking a hike on the farm as we read about a waterfall in one of the reviews, but there was no info in the cottage regarding on-farm activities. The cottage has an amazing selection of books and if we were not there for a wedding we would have spent the whole weekend reading! I've mentioned a lot of negatives, but considering the overall feel and location of the cottage, we did have an enjoyable stay and the cottage is quaint, neat and spacious.

Baie mooi en goeie waarde vir geld.

Het elke oomblik geniet tydens my verblyf. Dit is 'n baie mooi en rustige omgewing, wat perfek is vir 'n naweek weg van die stad. Die warm kaggel en lekker "blue berry muffins" was die hoogtepunte!

Beautiful and good value for money.

Enjoyed every moment of my stay. It is in a beautiful and tranquil area which is perfect for a weekend getaway from the city. The warm fireplace and delicious blueberry muffins were the highlights!

Netjies maar nie privaat nie.

Turaco is baie goed geleë met 'n nice uitsig, en goeie diens. My enigste probleem is dat dit nie privaat is nie, en reg langs 'n residensie (die plaashuis) geleë is. Sommige mense hou van totale privaatheid soos ek, en ek dink net hulle kan dit noem op hulle blad dat dit nie 100% privaat is nie.

Neat but not private.

Turaco is very well located with a nice view, and good service. My only problem is that it is not private, and is located right next to a residence (the farmhouse). Some people like total privacy like me, and I think only they can mention on their page that it is not 100% private.

Farm Cottage.

As jy 'n plekkie soek waar dit net jy en die natuur is, is hierdie plekkie vir jou. Die uitsig is asemrowend mooi, en die blomme orals om jou verwelkom jou nog meer. Die vars bloubessie-sap smaak net na meer. Jy verloor jouself as jy die werk van God se hande aanskou deur af te stap na die waterval. Baie dankie vir die ervaring! Ons het dit geniet om deel te kon wees van so 'n spesiale plekkie.

Farm Cottage.

If you are looking for a place where it is just you and nature, this place is for you. The view is breathtakingly beautiful, and the flowers all around you welcome you even more. The fresh blueberry juice just tastes like more. You lose yourself when you witness the work of God's hands by walking down to the waterfall. Thank you very much for the experience! We enjoyed being part of such a special place.

Pragtige ligging en 'n baie gerieflike cottage.

Pragtige ligging en baie gerieflike cottage. Eienaars is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Cottage baie naby aan die hoofhuis. Indien jy jou troeteldier saamneem, maak seker jou vierpotige vriend kom goed oor die weg met ander honde, want ons tweetjies was nie gelukkig om 'n nuwe maat te maak nie – ten spyte daarvan dat die maatjie regtig vriendelik was. Daar is ook nie grensdrade nie. Gelukkig het die eienaars uit hul pad gegaan om die probleem op te los en daarvoor is ons baie dankbaar. Mens word ook heerlik bederf met “blueberry muffins”!

Beautiful location and a very comfortable cottage.

Beautiful location and very comfortable cottage. Owners are friendly and very helpful. Cottage very close to the main house. If you bring your pet with you, make sure your four-legged friend gets along well with other dogs, because our two were not happy to make a new friend - despite the fact that the friend was really friendly. There are also no boundary wires. Fortunately, the owners went out of their way to solve the problem and for that we are very grateful. One is also deliciously spoiled with "blueberry muffins"!

Turaco Farm Cottage is 'n verfrissende en aangename ervaring. Die plek spel rustigheid in 'n pragtige landskap.

Verblyf in Turaco Farm Cottage is aan te bevele. 'n Aangename snoesige verblyfplek. Binnekant is die dekor eenvoudig, maar mooi en aangenaam. Toebehore is volledig en in 'n goeie werkende toestand. Ek sou van 'n stort gehou het - een wat so in die vallei af kyk. Buitekant kort die stoepe 'n oor-doen en die kothuis self 'n hele paar kanne verf. Die eerste stel trappe direk van die parkeerplek af na die huis kort kundige aandag - 'n stuk of ses trappe van elk om en by 400 mm (vier honderd milimeter) hoog is onooglik, skep 'n gevaar en klim moeilik. Aangesien dit 'n klam en nat klimaat is, kan plaveisel vir die parkeerplek vir die enkele voertuig wat daar moet staan oorweeg word - dit kan maar 'n modderige spul afgee. Lekker gebly!

Turaco Farm Cottage is a refreshing and enjoyable experience. The place spells tranquility in a beautiful landscape.

Accommodation in Turaco Farm Cottage is recommended. A pleasant cozy place to stay. Inside, the decor is simple, but nice and pleasant. Accessories are complete and in good working order. I would have liked a shower - one that looked down the valley like that. Outside, the porches need a re-do and the cottage itself needs several coats of paint. The first set of stairs directly from the parking space to the house needs expert attention - a stretch of six steps each around 400mm (four hundred millimeters) high is unsightly, creates a hazard and is difficult to climb. As this is a damp and wet climate, paving could be considered for the parking space for the single vehicle that needs to be parked there - it can just give off a muddy mess. Nice stay!

Fantastic location and views and great for dogs!

We had a lovely time - the cottage really suited our needs. The views were stunning. Great location for bird watching and lovely to let the dogs run through the pine forests. Hospitality was excellent! Jon and Jean were on the ball and the small extras such as blueberry muffins (at no extra cost) were just wonderful. They even offered to look after our two dogs if we wanted to go into Haenertsburg. We will definitely be going back later in the year.

Rustig en ontspanne met alles wat ek nodig gehad het net daar.

Dit was die ideale naweek saam met my ma. Die kothuis is toegerus met alles wat nodig is. Die bloubessiepastei met ons vertrek was 'n spesiale verrassing. Ons het elke oomblik geniet. Die eienaars is gawe mense. Hulle het ons welkom en tuis laat voel.

Baie pragtige uitsig. Lekker stap- en visvangplek. Goed geleë.

Die kothuis is baie netjies en word daagliks gediens. Daar is lekker stapplek, veral na die bokant van die waterval. Lekker visgevang in die meer. Die klein stoepie het ongelukkig geen dak nie, maar daar is 'n pragtige uitsig daarvandaan. Sal beslis weer soontoe gaan.

The cottage we stayed in has such old-English charm, from the fireplace to the carefully selected literature offering. It looks out over the dam and we spent the whole evening on the porch watching the stars. We will be back soon!

Ons en ons kinders het heerlik gebly en gekuier in die uiters netjiese kothuis met die pragtigste tuine. Die natuurskoon is asemrowend - en moenie vergeet om die sterreprag saans te betrag nie! 'n Swem in die waterval is 'n MOET!

Ek glo in die somer sal dit nog mooier wees met al die lieflike krismas rose en blomme wat nou swaar gekry het met die winter koue. Sal dit aanbeveel.
