I simply loved the nature except the mopani worm or mopani moth screaming 24/7, but other than that it was perfect.

Hi Liezel, I'm glad you enjoyed the nature so much. I apologise for the screeching of the mopani moth, but that is, unfortunately, also a part of the nature around us. Kind regards, Myrs

Ongelooflike voël lewe en die naggeluide van die bos is uit die boonste rakke met die nagape wat die heelnag gesels. Myra is ook 'n aangename gasvrou.

Sprokiesmooi. Goed ingerig. Voel soos huis. So goed ontvang.

Myra het ons met soveel liefde ontvang. Alles was net perfek. Ons het alles gehad wat ons nodig het. Ons huisie was goed ingerig. Lekker gerieflike bed. Skoon. Mens kon in die aand op die lekker stoep sit en net al jou sorge vergeet saam met die uile en die nagapies. Wat 'n lekker ervaring. Die huisie is soos 'n sprokie in 'n woud. Beslis iets om te belewe. Ons sien julle gou weer!

Fairytale beautiful. Well appointed. Feels like home. So well received.

Myra received us with so much love. Everything was just perfect. We had everything we needed. Our cottage was well furnished. Nice comfortable bed. Clean. In the evening you could sit on the cozy porch and just forget all your worries with the owls and the night owls. What a nice experience. The cottage is like a fairy tale in a forest. Definitely something to experience. We'll see you again soon!

Hang af wat soek jy.

Dis rustig en veilig. Baie netjies, maar baie mufwerige reuk. Dis seker te verstane omdat dit in die bos is, ek weet nie. Honeymooners en romantiese naweek, sal ek sê ja. Mense met kinders, sal ek sê nee. Padaanwysings is deurmekaar gegee op die webtuiste. Toe ons ry, het ons ook nie geweet waar ons sleutel moet los nie. Bed het lekker geslaap. Selfoon sein is baie swak/geen.

Depends what you're looking for.

It's quiet and safe. Very neat, but very musty smell. It's probably understandable because it's in the woods, I don't know. Honeymooners and romantic weekend, I would say yes. People with children, I would say no. Road directions are mixed up on the website. When we drove, we didn't know where to leave our key either. Bed slept well. Cell phone signal is very weak/none.

Hi Liezel
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Wat die muwwe reuk betref, dit is nie binne die kothuis nie, maar omdat ons kothuis in 'n vlei-area is, is daar wel 'n muskus reuk van die bos. Wat die kinders betreff, omdat dit 'n oopplan is, kan dit 'n probleem wees vir mense, maar ons gaste met kinders het dit nog nie 'n probleem gevind nie. Padaanwysings is moeilik aangesien die GPS mense kan verwar, maar ons help graag. Wat ons selfoonsein betref, ons WiFi kode se opvangs is uitstekend en ons gee dit graag vir ons gaste. Vriendelike groete.

Unieke woudervaring.

Baie dankie aan Myra wat ons met soveel gasvryheid ontvang het en jou heerlike tuisgebakte beskuit. Die argitektoniese ontwerp van die huisie en sy dek in die bos maak dit baie besonders. Die mingerhoutbome en varings in die woud gee baie karakter aan die verblyf.

Many thanks to Myra for receiving us with such hospitality and your delicious home-baked biscuits. The architectural design of the cottage and its deck in the woods make it very special. The mingerwood trees and ferns in the forest give the accommodation a lot of character.

Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring in die pragtigste woud en idilliese cottage.

Waterbessiebos Cottage het absoluut al ons verwagtinge bevredig en oortref. Dis 'n pragtige cottage wat toegerus is met alles wat jy nodig het. Dis absoluut idilies en was perfek vir ons huweliksherdenking. Dis rustig in die pragtigste woud, maar wel ook naby genoeg aan soveel toeriste aantreklikhede. Myra en haar man is dierbare, gasvrye mense en ons sal enige tyd Waterbessiebos Cottage aanbeveel en ook weer gaan besoek.

Jammer om te hoor dat jy "n negatiewe belewenis by ons gehad het. Ons het pas oorgeskakel na sonkrag juis om dit meer gerieflik vir ons gaste te maak tydens kragonderbrekings, maar ervaar nog groeipyne en alhoewel ons 'n gasgeyser het, het die pomp se waterdruk verswak met 'n kragonderbreking. Ons werk daaraan om dit te verbeter. Ons gasstoof is splinternuut en moet net korrek aangeskakel word. Daars geen verf in die kothuis nie. Die houtpaneelwerk is behandel met 'n akriel "wash" en geseel met 2 lae vernis om die houtgryn nog te sien. en kry baie komplimente daarvoor.
Die kothuis is ontwerp as 'n semi-boservaring en word as sulks bemark. Dit is gelee tussen hoe inheemse bome wat dit relatief koel hou en 'n waaier help om verdere verkoeling te verskaf, sonder om die ambience te versteur deur 'n lugreelaar.

Onbeskryflike rustigheid en natuurprag!

Ons sal die plekkie aan almal baie sterk aanbeveel! Die kliëntediens was puik en die eienaars het uit hulle pad uit gegaan om ons welkom te laat voel. Die houthuis sit 'n paar meter bo 'n lieflike groen erf in die middel van 'n digte woud. Die ligging voel baie privaat en eenkant. Dit was 'n plesier om te kon slaap tussen deur die bosgeluide. Die geriewe binne die huis was meer as voldoende met 'n pragtige badkamer en praktiese kombuisie om by te kan kos maak. WiFi het dinge maklik gemaak om in kontak te kon bly met die buitewêreld.

Indescribable tranquility and natural beauty!

We would highly recommend the place to everyone! The customer service was great and the owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The log house sits a few meters above a lovely green yard in the middle of a dense forest. The location feels very private and secluded. It was a pleasure to be able to sleep among the sounds of the forest. The facilities inside the house were more than adequate with a beautiful bathroom and practical kitchen to be able to cook. WiFi has made things easy to stay in touch with the outside world.

We apologise for not having an aircon and neither a TV as we felt that is not conducive to the whole ambiance of our place. We do have a fan and the cottage is situated under the shade of magnificent indigenous trees. We also did not paint out the cottage, but instead used an acrylic varnish wash to bring out the wood grain.

What you expected is what you got - wonderful.

The photos of Waterbessiebos Cottage are beautiful and often they set a false sense of expectation. Happy to say that what you saw in the photos is just as beautiful as it is in reality. A very serene setting that is ideal for a couple to just break away, read a book, drink coffee and get to know each other again. Will certainly put this on my list of favourites!

Ons het dit verskriklik baie geniet. Die huisie is pragtig binne, skoon en netjies. Alles is tot jou beskikking. Mooiste plantegroei en bosgeluide in die aand. Die eienaar gaan uit haar pad om jou welkom te laat voel. Ek en my man sal definitief weer gebruik maak van die kothuis.

Romantiese wegbreek in die woud.

Waterbessiebos is 'n plekkie reg uit 'n sprokiesverhaal. Ek en my verloofde het dit so geniet! Dit is pragtig. Die ligging is ideaal en die huisie is skoon en netjies. Ons het geen tekort gehad aan iets nie. Myra is 'n wonderlike gasvrou, ongelooflik vriendelik en tegemoedkomend. Ons sal beslis terugkeer.

Dit was pragtig! Dit voel of ons vir 'n naweek in die Amazone was, in luukse gerief.

Dit is die plek om heen te gaan as jy wil wegkom van die dorpslewe. Romanties en privaat. Ons het puik diens en ondersteuning ontvang en kon vir niks meer gevra het nie. Die was baie veilig en dit het gevoel soos verblyf in die middel van 'n woud. Groot oopskuifvensters laat die bosgeluide binnekom. Van binne lyk die boomhuis soos 'n luukse hotel.

So na aan die natuur as wat kan kom!

Kyk uit vir die GV65 nommer (GV64 is'n hoenderbesigheid en duidelik gemerk) en nie vir Waterbessiebos Cottage aanwysings nie wanneer die afdraai vanaf die R528 gesoek word. Waterbessiebos is prentjiemooi en mens hoor die natuur se musiek daar met voëls, 'n donkie in die verte en uile wanneer die son sak. Die eenheid is van hoogstaande gehalte en dienooreenkomstig toegerus. As jy werklik wil rus kom gerus hierheen maar die ligging maak dit ook perfek om as basis te dien vir verkenning van die omgewing wat baie het om te bied. Die erf is omhein en toegang word verkry deur 'n elektriese hek. Die swembad is nie by die eenheid geleë nie maar wel gerieflik naby. Stap gerus deur die asemrowende mooi tuin en waardeer al die harde werk wat al daar gedoen is. Myra is fantastiese wonderlike gasvrou en ons sal graag terugkeer na Waterbessiebos sodra daar weer 'n geleentheid is.

As close to nature as can be!

Look out for the GV65 number (GV64 is a chicken business and clearly marked) and not for Waterbessiebos Cottage directions when looking for the turn off from the R528. Waterberry forest is picturesque and you can hear nature's music there with birds, a donkey in the distance and owls when the sun goes down. The unit is of high quality and equipped accordingly. If you really want to rest feel free to come here but the location also makes it perfect to serve as a base for exploring the surroundings which have a lot to offer. The yard is fenced and access is gained through an electric gate. The swimming pool is not located at the unit but is conveniently close by. Feel free to walk through the breathtakingly beautiful garden and appreciate all the hard work that has been done there. Myra is a fantastic wonderful hostess and we would love to return to Waterbessiebos as soon as there is another opportunity.

'n Argitek-ontwerpte boomhuis!

Waterbessiebos Cottage is die perfekte manier om van alles te vergeet. Dit voel of 'n mens heeltemal afgesluit is van die buitewêreld en net kan ontspan tussen die bome en varings. Ons sal definitief teruggaan - ons beplan klaar ons volgende wegbreek na die boomhuis. Dis 'n luukse in die bos!

Ongelukkig was ons net vir 1 nag in die omgewing, maar sal beslis wil teruggaan. Die rustigheid in die bos is onbeskryflik en vir 'n paar dae se "unwind" is daar nie 'n beter bestemming nie. Ongelooflik netjies, stil en absoluut ideaal om net jouself te vind.

'n Stukkie paradys.

Die ideale plek om te ontsnap van die daaglikse harwar. Vanaf die eerste oomblik wat ons ingestap het, het ons welkom gevoel. Myra het spesiaal moeite gedoen met 'n ekstra matras en wat 'n lekker verrassing was die sjokolade op elkeen se handdoek wat spesiaal uitgepak was op elkeen se slaapplek. Die natuur en pragtige tuine het tot ons sielsrus bygedra.

The nature and beautiful gardens contributed to our peace of mind.

Very nice stay in a modern cottage.

The cottage is unbelievably pretty and modern, surrounded by a forest-like garden. We really enjoyed the relaxing stay. Will definitely go there again.

Absolute feetjieland met baie privaatheid.

Dit was nou baie lekker. Wens ek kon 'n week daar bekostig. Mens het soveel privaatheid omsingel in natuur. Ons was twee meisies alleen en het steeds baie veilig gevoel met die eiendom wat goed omhein is. Ek sal verseker die plekkie voorstel, daar is niks waaroor ons kan kla nie. Net feetjieland van begin tot einde, fantasties!

Absolute fairyland with a lot of privacy.

This was a lot of fun. Wish that I could afford a week there. One has so much privacy surrounded by nature. We were two girls on our own and still felt very safe because of the property that is fenced in. I will definitely recommend this place, there is nothing that we can complain about. Just fairyland from beginning to end, fantastic!

Heerlik rustig.

Ons het die rustigheid van die natuurlike bos baie geniet tog was die plekkie maklik bereikbaar en glad nie ver van die besienswaardighede nie.

Lovely and peaceful.

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the natural bush a lot, and yet the place was easily reached and not far from the attractions.

Magical!

Ons verblyf by Waterbessiebos Cottage was absoluut onvergeetlik. Die kothuis is gerieflik ingerig, gemaklik en baie netjies. Die groot skuifvensters bied 'n onbelemmerde uitsig oor bos. Die stilte is tasbaar en laat jou vergeet van die wêreld daar buite. Die badkamer is besonders en ek het 'n lang en ontspanne bad geniet. Ek het lekker gesit en boeklees op die bank voor die venster, maar het so deur die lees aan die slaap geraak a.g.v. die rustigheid en van die natuur om my. Myra is 'n baie goeie gasvrou en het vir ons van al die besienswaardighede in die omgewing vertel. Die woefies wat vir ons kom kuier het, was natuurlik vir ons 'n pluspunt. Aande in die bos is 'n belewenis. Terwyl ons lekker op die dek gebraai het kan jy die uile en nagapies hoor roep. Hier hoor jy letterlik as die blare val, so stil is dit. Waterbessiebos Cottage is kos vir die siel. Ek gaan beslis weer kom.

Baie lekker.

Lekker om so tussen die bosse en bome wakker te word. Die absolute stilte was amper eers vreemd. As jy die geluid van 'n blaar hoor val, dan weet jy ons stedelinge hoor ander geluide en dit is nie die geluide van die natuur nie. So vir my was dit 'n lekker ervaring. Die venue se ligging is ideaal, want jy is baie naby aan die dorp, Tzaneen, en jy kan uitry vir die dag om bv. Duiwelskloof te gaan sien. Op pad soontoe kan jy die grootste kremetartboom gaan besigtig. En dan weer terug na Magoebaskloof se kant na die Waterval. Sal die plekkie aanbeveel as jy die rustigheid van die natuur wil ervaar. Die eienaars van die "Cottage" is ook baie vriendelik, behulpsaam en laat jou toe om in hulle pragtige tuin rond te stap.

Very nice.

It was great waking up surrounded by bushes and trees. The absolute silence was strange at first. You know you are truly in nature when you can even hear leaves falling! A great experience! Ideal location close to Tzaneen and you can take a day trip to Duiselskloof. On your way there you can have a look at the largest baobab tree. And a great waterfall on your way back to Magoebaskloof. Definitely recommend this place if you want to relax in nature. Friendly, helpful owners and you are allowed to walk around in their beautiful garden!

'n Baie gesellige plekkie in 'n pragtige omgewing!

Ons het baie lekker gekuier by Waterbessiebos Lodge. Die tuine is pragtig, die huisie smaakvol en netjies, en heerlik privaat! Al aanbeveling wat ons kan maak, is 'n groter asblik in die huis en tweepuntproppe vir selfoonlaaiers ens.

Inderdaad 'n plekkie vir 'n paartjie!

Baie goed indien jy as paartjie wil wegbreek, jouself vind en gehalte tyd saam deur te bring. Vir 'n romantiese wegbreek en om tyd saam met jou geliefde te spandeer is Waterbessiebos definitief die plek om te kies. Alhoewel Waterbessiebos geheel en al privaat en afgeleë en basies is, is dit tog naby genoeg aan die dorp en ander vermaaklikheid sonder dat dit 'n beslommernis is. Ons sal Waterbessiebos weer besoek en beveel dit hoogs aan.

A place for a couple indeed!

Very good if you want to get away as a couple, find yourself and spend quality time together. For a romantic getaway and to spend time with your loved one, Waterbessiebos is definitely the place to choose. Although Waterbessiebos is completely private and remote and basic, it is still close enough to town and other entertainment without being a hassle. We will visit Waterbessiebos again and highly recommend it.

Besonderse blyplek!

Wat 'n lekker plek, in die mooiste, rustigste omgewing! Die kothuis is baie netjies en goed ingerig met al die selfsorg-benodigdhede waaraan jy kan dink. Ontvangs deur die Vissers was baie hartlik en ons het lekker saam met hulle gekuier, die trou-"venue" verken en selfs die koue swembad (in Augustus!) aangedurf.

What a nice place, in the most beautiful, peaceful environment! The cottage is very neat and well furnished with all the self-catering necessities you can think of.
