Fantastiese blyplek op 'n mooi plaas met die beste stoep en braaiplek.

Dit is 'n perfekte wegbreekplek. Ons het vreeslik lekker gekuier, veral op die stoep by die braaiplek. Die uitsig oor die plaas is ongelooflik mooi en daar is 'n baie rustige gevoel in die lug. Die huis is baie goed ingerig om baie gemaklik te bly en kuier.

Fantastic place to stay on a beautiful farm with the best stoep and braai area.

It is a perfect getaway. We had a really good time, especially on the stoep by the braai place. The view over the farm is incredibly beautiful and there is a very peaceful feeling in the air. The house is very well equipped to stay and visit very comfortably.

Baie mooi, mooi uitsig en stil. Wonderlik!

Wonderlike plek! Stil, rustig, mooi en "serene". Jy voel onmiddellik tuis met al die klein bederfides wat jy in die kaste en op die tafel kry. Definitief aan te beveel, ons sal baie graag wil teruggaan. Die stilte as jy slaap en wakker word soggens is heerlik!

'n Oase in die natuur.

Ons gesin is lief vir die Elgin area vir 'n naweek weg. Die Uilhuijs is goed geleë om maklik besienswaardighede in die area toe te besoek, maar is ook idillies genoeg om sommer net die hele naweek te ontspan en te wees! Die plekkie is goed toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het, die dekor is pragtig en die uitsig vanaf die stoep by die braai area vat die koek! They are vriendelike en behulpsame

Pragtig, rustig, gemaklik en met alles wat mens nodig het om 'n goeie breek te hê van die stad se gejaag.

Ons kuier was goed georganiseerd van bespreking tot sleutel af gee. Die kuier was die lekkerste wat ons in 'n lang tyd ervaar het. Die uitsig en boorde is so mooi, kan heel dag sit en net kyk. Daar was 'Eskom loadshedding', maar ons het nie eens agter gekom nie. Alles wat jy nodig het en nog meer is daar! Kan dit regtig aanbeveel, volgende keer boek ek vir ten minste 'n week en vat die bergfietse definitief saam. Ons was 4 groot mense en was nie in mekaar se pad nie. Het net lekker gekuier! Sien julle gou weer.

Beautiful, peaceful, comfortable and with everything one needs to have a good break from the city's hustle and bustle.

Our visit was well organized from booking to handing over the keys. The visit was the most enjoyable we have experienced in a long time. The view and orchards are so beautiful, can sit all day and just look. There was 'Eskom loadshedding', but we didn't even notice. Everything you need and more is there! Can really recommend it, next time I'll book for at least a week and definitely take the mountain bikes with me. We were 4 big people and were not in each other's way. Just had a great time! See you again soon.

Ons het 'n heerilike rustige naweek so in die appelboorde gehad saam met ons kinders.

Uilhuijs is uitstaande in alle aspekte. Dit is nie net volledig toegerus nie, alles is van hoogstaande gehalte. Die plek is onberispelik skoon en ons het selfs 'n groot sak hout gekry om te gebruik. Beurtkrag kom hier ook voor maar ook hiervoor is daar gesorg en ons het deurentyd ligte gehad. Daai gasstoof is n wenner! Die kommunikasie van Leanne was ook uitstekend en ons het welkom gevoel van die eerste oomblik af. En ons het die groot stoep met die pragtige uitsig geniet van vroegoggend tot in die aand. Ons beveel Uilhuijs onvoorwaardelik aan.

We had a wonderful peaceful weekend in the apple orchards with our children.

Uilhuijs is outstanding in all aspects. It is not only fully equipped, everything is of high quality. The place is immaculately clean and we were even given a large bag of wood to use. Load power also occurs here, but this was also taken care of and we had lights all the time. That gas stove is a winner! The communication from Leanne was also excellent and we felt welcome from the first moment. And we enjoyed the large porch with the beautiful view from early morning until evening. We recommend Uilhuijs unconditionally.

Secluded, comfortable, superbly equipped farm cottage with wonderful views and ambience.

This farm stay, 2-bedroom cottage is exceptionally well equipped. Hostess Leanne has provided many thoughtful amenities, and the kitchen is well equipped for summer or winter stays. The cottage is up a private road on a working apple farm, and nestled amongst mature pine trees, with lovely views across the Elgin Valley. A deep undercover patio with couches and dining table for summer evenings or indoor dining and wood stove for chilly winter nights. Close to wine farms, the Elgin Railway Market, this is a must stay retreat.

We had the most fabulous stay. Hosts were incredibly hospitable and accommodating, the house itself is beautiful and very well-equipped. The environment is quiet and relaxing. There's bad cell phone reception and the wifi is a bit weak - but certainly not a problem and does not take away from a perfect stay. We'll be back.

Ideal location for what I needed, i.e. access to Oak Valley for Wines2whales.

Cottage was smaller than it looks on the pictures. Definitely not a place for two adult couples. We were falling over each other. The shower is tiny, no bath and the hot water in the shower didn't work, it was a hit-and-miss affair to get it to work. The cottage is totally off the grid, no cellphone reception, which may be okay for some, but wasn't for us, we needed to continue to work even though I was away riding mountain bikes. While there is wifi, it was very slow and unavailable during loadshedding as there is no generator for the cottage. Owner should state clearly that there is no cellphone reception and no generator so, in the case of LS, you will be uncontactable for 2 hours.

Tranquility on an apple farm.

We had a wonderful weekend at Uilhuijs. The cottage is beautifully appointed with soft furnishings of the highest quality. The bottomless pile of wood was very welcome as the weekend was very chilly. A visit to Charles Fox is a must, as well as a trip to the Elgin Market. Rick and Leanne are quick to respond to questions and are very accommodating. We will definitely visit again in the summer!

Privaat en rus vir die siel.

Uilhuijs was presies wat ons nodig gehad het om te rus. Dis in 'n pragtige hoekie van 'n appelplaas geleë met uitsonderlike uitsigte, die gesing van voëls en die sagte gesuis van wind in die bome. Die heerlike, groot stoep was goed benut en die houtstofie binne was elke aand gebruik. Dankie vir die hope hout wat voorsien was. Daar was ook bederfies soos koekies, beskuit, vrugte en melk vir ons gelos. Daar is alles wat mens kan nodig hê in terme van breekware/kookgeriewe en die kamers is baie snoesig met paneelverwarmers (opsioneel) en lieflike beddegoed. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en kommunikasie was goed. Uilhuijs is beslis op my short list en ons sal weer wil gaan kuier en vriende saamneem om dit te beleef.

Private and rest for the soul.

Uilhuijs was exactly what we needed to rest. It's located in a beautiful corner of an apple farm with exceptional views, the singing of birds and the soft whistling of wind in the trees. The lovely, large veranda was well used and the wooden stove inside was used every evening. Thanks for the piles of wood that were provided. There were also treats such as cookies, biscuits, fruit and milk left for us. There is everything one could need in terms of crockery/cooking facilities and the rooms are very cozy with panel heaters (optional) and lovely bedding. We were received kindly and communication was good. Uilhuijs is definitely on my short list and we will want to visit again and take friends with us to experience it.

Heerlike, rustige kuier in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Ons het onmiddelik tuisgevoel na die eienaars se vriendelike verwelkoming en was aangenaam verras met die kwaliteit meubels, linne en toerusting. Die heerlike bederfies op die tafel was 'n bonus!

Absolutely incredible.

The cottage is located in a secluded portion of the farm, providing privacy while one still gets the wonderful sight of the trees blossoming. The hosts are lovely. Both of them went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. Cannot recommend it enough!

Rustige, snoesige juweel tussen appelboorde.

Rick en Leanne se gasvryheid strek verder as die wyn-bederf, brownies en vol vrugtebakke. Die hele atmosfeer in Uilhuijs spreek van 'n gasvrou wat aan alles gedink het. Die huis is smaakvol en ten volle toegerus. Mens raak nie moeg vir die uitsig nie en die appelboorde is 'n belewenis.

Fantastiese Akkommodasie!

Ek het die Uilhuijs bespreek vir my troue in Elgin op 20 Maart 2021. Dit was regtig 'n fantastiese blyplek en is perfek vir 'n romantiese wegbreek-naweek. Dit is baie privaat en die dekor is selfs mooier in lewende lywe as op die foto's. Leanne was 'n uitstekenede gasvrou en was baie tegemoetkomend. Ons het baie welkom gevoel! Ek sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat Elgin besoek!

Absolute natuur skoonheid op sy beste.

Ons het 'n heerlike rustige vakansie gehad by Uilhuijs. Ons was omtrent bederf met ons aankoms. Wens ons kon elke oggend op die gras lé en die wolke kyk, die arende in die lug, die pragtige natuur. Die dek en braai area wat uitkyk op die mooiste uitsig, was beslis 'n hoogtepunt. Ons het heerlik gaan stap. Die huis is baie goed ingerus. Ons het niks gekort nie. Uilhuijs is beslis onder ons gunstelinge gestoor.

We had a lovely peaceful holiday at Uilhuijs. We were pretty much spoiled upon our arrival. Wish we could lie on the grass every morning and watch the clouds, the eagles in the sky, the beautiful nature. The deck and braai area overlooking the most beautiful view was definitely a highlight. We went for a lovely walk. The house is very well equipped. We lacked nothing. Uilhuijs is definitely saved among our favorites.

Fantasties, uniek en perfek!

Uilhuijs is 'n besonderse wegbreek in die hartjie van die Elgin vallei. Die ongelooflike detail in elke vertrek maak die verblyf ekstra spesiaal. 'n Mens kan rerig net jou klere pak en gaan asemskep, gaan rus, gaan her-okus. En na 'n jaar soos 2020 kan jy beslis weer hier hoop gaan vind. Hierdie besonderse plek sien ons beslis weer en weer en weer. Dankie vir elke stukkie detail van die beskuit, vars appels en pere, vars bos blomme en alles meer. Julle het ons beslis bederf.

The Uilhuijs was an all-around great experience. There is amazing attention to detail given to all aspects of the stay. Enough of everything is available in the unit from blankets, towels, and even a CD in the CD player for music, making our stay as pleasant as possible.

'n 'Gem' in Grabouw!

Die Uilhuijs is regtig perfek vir enige seisoen. Ons het een mooiweersdag gehad waar ons lekker op die stoep (met 'n uitsig oor die vallei) kon ontspan. Die volgende dag het dit weer heeltyd gereën, maar ons kon toe heerlik binne voor die kaggel sit en kuier. Die verblyf is uiters stylvol gemeubileer en goed toegerus. Rick en Leanne was die toonbeeld van gasvryheid en het ons dadelik welkom laat voel. Uilhuijs sien ons beslis gou weer!

A 'Gem' in Grabouw!

The Uilhuijs are really perfect for any season. We had one fine weather day where we could relax on the stoep (with a view of the valley). The next day it rained all the time again, but we were then able to sit inside in front of the fireplace and visit. The accommodation is extremely stylishly furnished and well equipped. Rick and Leanne were the epitome of hospitality and immediately made us feel welcome. Uilhuijs will definitely see you again soon!

Prentjiemooi verblyf in asemrowende omgewing.

Dit lyk of hierdie huis in 'n appelboord uit 'n Tuis-tydskrif geknip is. Pragtige, gemaklike en duursame meubels en dekor, met 'n fantastiese uitsig oor appel- en peerplase en damme. Baie vriendelike gasvrou wat aan alles gedink het - tot klein kombersies wanneer dit 'n bietjie koeler raak as mens buite sit. Persoonlike detail maak 'n mens dadelik welkom voel. Heerlike groot oond. Die kaggel werk fantasties en maak die huisie snoesig warm. 'n Mens sal 'n week net hier kan bly en rus met 'n leesboek, of 'n mens kan die omgewing verken en avontuur gaan opsoek (bergfietsry, canopy tours, wynproe). Ek kan Uilhuijs definitief aanbeveel!

Picturesque accommodation in breathtaking surroundings.

This house in an apple orchard looks like it was cut out of a Home magazine. Beautiful, comfortable and durable furniture and decor, with a fantastic view of apple and pear farms and ponds. Very friendly hostess who thought of everything - down to small blankets when it gets a little cooler when you sit outside. Personal detail makes one feel welcome immediately. Great big oven. The fireplace works fantastically and makes the house cozily warm. One can stay here for a week and rest with a reading book, or one can explore the surroundings and go in search of adventure (mountain biking, canopy tours, wine tasting). I can definitely recommend Uilhuijs!

Wonderful and relaxing stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Uilhuijs. The cottage is well set out with good quality amenities and fittings. The decor is bright and cheerful yet elegant. The cottage is located on top of a hill with wonderful views overlooking the farm areas, orchards and dams. The stoep/balcony is a wonderful place to spend one’s days relaxing and just soaking up the views and enjoying the peace and quiet. There were lots of unexpected treats which our hosts provided like fresh fruit, rusks, wine, beautiful flowers, and added extras in our fridge. How very thoughtful and generous!

So mooi en rustig!

Die Uilhuijs het ons verwagtinge oortref. Dis goed toegerus, netjies, en smaakvol versier. Die omgewing en uitsig is pragtig. Ons sal beslis weer daar wil gaan bly!

Asemrowende uitsig!

Die Uilhuijs is pragtig tussen die appelboorde geleë met die aller mooiste uitsig oor die vallei en dam. Die huis self is met soveel sorg en smaak gemeubileer. Die linne is van hoogste gehalte en net mooi als wat mens nodig het is daar. Maar daai stoep!! Dit is waar mens jou dae wil begin en eindig. Wat n voorreg was dit nie om heerlike dae daar te kon spandeer saam met my geliefdes nie. Leanne en Rick is die beste gasheer en -vrou wat ons nog in n lang tyd ontmoet het. Kommunikasie was van die begin af flink en duidelik. Kan nie wag om weer hier n draai te gaan maak nie. Bederf jouself met 'n paar dae by die Uilhuijs en kyk uit vir die eekhorinkies en uile! Was 'n fees vir die gemoed.

Breathtaking view!

The Uilhuijs is beautifully situated between the apple orchards with the most beautiful view over the valley and dam. The house itself is furnished with so much care and taste. The linen is of the highest quality and everything you need is there. But that porch!! This is where you want to start and end your days. What a privilege it was to be able to spend wonderful days there with my loved ones. Leanne and Rick are the best host and wife we have met in a long time. Communication was prompt and clear from the start. Can't wait to visit here again. Treat yourself to a few days at the Uilhuijs and look out for the squirrels and owls! Was a feast for the soul.

Onvergeetlik!

Seker een van die mooiste en rustigste plekkies ooit. Ligging is idillies en so rustig. Leanne en Rick was so gasvry. Net die plek om te herlaai. En naby al die "must do's" in Elgin. Kom definitief terug. Wat 'n juweel.

Probably one of the most beautiful and peaceful places ever. Location is idyllic and so peaceful. Leanne and Rick were so hospitable. Just the place to recharge. And close to all the "must do's" in Elgin. Definitely come back. What a gem.

Rustige wegbreek met geen stres.

Uilhuijs se dekor en meubelering is van 'n hoë gehalte en smaakvol gedoen. Die huis het alles wat 'n mens benodig en die uitsig was asemrowend vanaf die vertrekke en die lang stoep, voor die huis. As 'n mens 'n rustige wegbreek benodig is Uilhuijs die perfekte opsie.

Peaceful getaway with no stress.

Uilhuijs' decor and furnishings are of high quality and tastefully done. The house has everything one needs and the view was breathtaking from the rooms and the long porch, in front of the house. If you need a peaceful break, Uilhuijs is the perfect option.

Fantasties.

Die mooiste plek. Goed ingerig, goeie linne, goeie kombuis toerusting en bederfies soos beskuit, melk en ys plaas dit in 'n ander klas. Die eienaars is vreeslik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons kan dit defenitief aanbeveel en sal self graag weer daar bly.

The most beautiful place. Well furnished, good linen, good kitchen equipment and treats like biscuits, milk and ice cream put it in another class. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. We can definitely recommend it and would be happy to stay there again.

'n Ongelooflike naweek in 'n pragtige, goed ingerigte huisie - fantastiese ligging!

Ons was opsoek na 'n lekker wegbreeknaweek en dis presies wat die Uilhuijs gebied het. Ons was so aangenaam verras met die ongelooflike natuurskoon, en die huisie is verskriklik mooi en gemaklik ingerig. Die kaggel is 'n wenner. Die gasheer en -vrou was baie vriendelik en was ons nie bly oor die onverwagte, varsgebakte beskuit wat daar ook was nie. Alles was net fantasties en daar is ongelooflike "attention to detail". Ons het heerlik op die plaas rondgestap. Wat 'n onvergeetlike naweek, bitter baie dankie. Ons sal weer en weer gaan.

An amazing weekend in a beautiful, well appointed cottage - fantastic location!

We were looking for a nice weekend getaway and that's exactly what the Uilhuijs offered. We were so pleasantly surprised with the incredible scenery, and the cottage is beautifully and comfortably furnished. The fireplace is a winner. The host and wife were very friendly and weren't we happy about the unexpected, freshly baked rusks that were also there. Everything was just fantastic and there is incredible "attention to detail". We had a lovely walk around the farm. What an unforgettable weekend, thank you very much. We will go again and again.

Dit was heerlik rustig. Pragtige huisie!

Dit was 'n beautiful plek met al die geriewe in die huis wat 'n mens nodig het. Die gashere is super vriendelik en behulpsaam. As jy vir 'n naweek net batterye wil herlaai, beveel ek hierdie plek sterk aan!

Magical valley experience.

A last minute breakaway which we had only a couple days to plan turned into a magical stay in the most peaceful and stunning cottage, the cottage is decorated beautifully inside and out with everything you will need and the resident owl family was so friendly showing off their new addition to us in the trees next to the cottage. The gorgeous predator birds are always soaring in the skies above you, the tiny finches singing beautiful songs and even the guinea fowls with their load calls just before the sun sets is any nature lovers ideal outdoor spot to sit back, switch off from technology and just soak up all this beautiful valley has to offer. We would go back again anytime, thank you to the owners for being so welcoming!
