Disappointing.

No electricity, minimal light and almost no water.

Die fasiliteit word nie behoorlik instandgehou nie en het agteruit gegaan vanaf 'n vorige besoek.

Ons het voorheen die Vetkuil jagtershutte besoek aangesien dit 'n rustige Karoo-omgewing is. Die fasiliteite was egter hierdie keer stowwerig, yskaste het nie behoorlik gewerk nie en het 'n onaangename reuk gehad. Die waterpype na die hutte is in verval en word met stukke binneband aanmekaar gehou. Kort nadat ons daar arriveer het, het die waterpyp buite die watertenk gebars. Ek het die eienaar en sy vrou probeer skakel op die nommers waarmee ons vroeër die dag met hulle gepraat het. Die selfone het gelui, maar daar was nie antwoord nie en niemand het ook teruggeskakel nie. Ek het die pyp met 'n stuk binneband en draad wat ek in die veld gevind het herstel sodat ons water in ons eenheid het. Hierdie was 'n vermorsing van kosbare tyd wat ek wou spandeer het om in die veld te gaan stap. Toe ek wel net voor donker deur die veld kon gaan stap, was daar plek-plek drankbottels en blikke waarop teiken geskiet is in die veld. Die gas-geyser in die ons eenheid het ook nie gewerk nie en koue storte was ons voorland. Hierdie was uiters teleurstellende verblyf.

The facility is not properly maintained and has deteriorated since a previous visit.

We had previously visited the Vetkuil hunters huts as it is a peaceful Karoo environment. However, this time the facilities were dusty, fridges did not work properly and had an unpleasant smell. The water pipes to the cabins are in disrepair and are held together with pieces of inner tube. Shortly after we arrived there, the water pipe outside the water tank burst. I tried to call the owner and his wife on the numbers we had spoken to earlier in the day. The cell phones rang, but there was no answer and no one called back either. I repaired the pipe with a piece of inner tube and wire I found in the field so we have water in our unit. This was a waste of precious time that I would have spent walking in the field. When I was able to go for a walk through the field just before dark, there were drink bottles and cans on which targets had been shot in the field. The gas geyser in our unit also didn't work and cold showers were our foreland. This was an extremely disappointing stay.

Rustig en so mooi.

Ons was op pad van Nelspruit Strand toe besig om te verhuis. Het 'n aand daar oorgeslaap. Was regtig so rustig daar en pragtige sons ondergang. Kinders het hulself gate uit geniet. Sal vir seker terug gaan met n groep vriende en familie vir 'n jagnaweek.

Skokkend dat mense geld vra vir so plek.

Die kamer is piepklien vir 6 mense. Die water het nie gewerk nie. Daar is die krag nie. Daar was goggas in die bed. A.g.v. die water wou toilet die spoel nie. Dit was die aakligste plek wat ek in my lewe gebly het.

Shocking that people ask money to stay as such a place.

Dankie vir u terugvoer, ons kry baie besoekers jaarliks, manlik, vroulik, asook met kinders, mense geniet die rustigheid van plaaslewe. Ons het op geen stadium krag geadverteer nie, ons beskrywing noem sonkrag en gas stoof en yskas. Weereens regtig jammer u het nie die"off the grid"" plaas akkommodasie geniet nie.

Baie rustig in die natuur. Ons het 'n oorslaapplek gesoek wat troeteldiervriendelik is. Ons het 2 groot honde wat saam vakansie hou en Vetkuil was absoluut ideaal. Die eenheid het alles in wat mens benodig vir 'n oorslaap en alles was skoon en netjies.

As jy moeg gereis is, en lekker nagrus wil he, is hierdie verblyf nie aan te beveel nie.

Baie teleurgesteld. Na baie ure op die pad het mens nie lus om kragopwekker aan die gang te probeer kry om warm water te hê vir stort nie. Die kakkerlakke neem die plek oor, dit was tot in die beddens.

Rustige omgewing, maar baie basiese akkommodasie.

Die kamer was nie besonders netjies nie en die geriewe is yl, maar dit pla seker nie die tipiese jagter nie. Wat wel in Vetkuil se guns tel is die ongelooflike rustige omgewing en natuur. Hoe langer ons daar was hoe beter het dit geraak. 'n Mens sien die springbokke wei in die verte vanaf die stoep. Die eienaar het laatmiddag vir ons die "donkie" aan die gang gesit sodat ons warm water kon hê. Op die ou einde was dit 'n interessante ervaring, maar volgende keer sal ek waarskynlik 'n jagkamp vermy.

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

Quiet surroundings, but very basic accommodation.

The room wasn't particularly tidy and the amenities are sparse, but that probably doesn't bother the typical hunter. What does count in Vetkuil's favor is the incredibly peaceful environment and nature. The longer we were there the better it got. One sees the springbok grazing in the distance from the porch. The owner started the "donkey" for us late in the afternoon so that we could have hot water. In the end it was an interesting experience, but next time I will probably avoid a hunting camp.

If you are a hard core hunter type individual this place is for you, not for the tired and weary traveler looking an overnight stay.

Traveled down to the Western Cape and needed an overnight stay for myself, partner and two dogs. Unless you are a hardcore hunter type individual and enjoy roughing it up I would not recommend this establishment. Apart from the peace and quiet of the Great Karoo and a stunning sky full of stars we found the accommodation very raw and rough, with no warm water in the morning for a shower with absolutely no water pressure. We could not wait to move onto our next destination in order to have a few more basic requirements and cleanliness.

Dit was 'n wonderlike plaaservaring! Sal dit enige tyd weer doen. Baie dankie.

Dit is beslis die moeite werd om die sowat 23 km uit die dorp te ry: weg van stadslawaai. 'n Mens weet nie van ander mense nie, net van skape, springbokke en uile wat vroegoggend roep. Wat 'n belewenis!

It is definitely worth driving the approximately 23 km out of town: away from city noise. One does not know about other people, only about sheep, springboks and owls that call early in the morning. What an experience!
