Pragtige natuur, eintlik lekker sonder selfoonopvangs.

Oorgenoeg spasie vir ons uitgebreide gesin van 7. Warm water, elektrisiteit en pragtige natuur. Bietjie ver uit vir net een aand, twee aande sal lekker wees om die plaas se natuur ten volle te geniet (staproetes).

Karoo-wegbreek.

Dit was ons 2de besoek aan Waterval Plaas, ons is met soveel warmte ontvang, dit het gevoel of ons na familie toe gaan. Ons seuntjie (2 jaar) is omtrent bederf met draadkarre en het homself flou gespeel in die Karoovlaktes. Dit was koud en reënerig maar ons kon steeds gaan stap en het heerlik by die kaggel gekuier. Heerlike warm stort en bed. Verseker die moeite werd vir iemand wat lief is vir die Karoo.

Karoo getaway.

It was our 2nd visit to Waterval Farm, we were received with such warmth, it felt like we were visiting family. Our boy (2 years old) was pretty much spoiled with wire carts and played himself silly in the Karoo plains. It was cold and rainy but we were still able to go for a walk and had a great time by the fireplace. Lovely hot shower and bed. Definitely worth it for someone who loves the Karoo.

Lieflike Karoo ervaring.

Diep in die Karoo sal jy rus vind. Lekker gasvryheid sal jy saam jou vriende geniet. Die stilte maak dat jy die lewe meer waardeer en die staproetes is waar jy 'n pad kan stap. Met geen opvangs word daar bande gevorm wat mens vir ewig sal hou! Wonderlike natuurlewe maak dat jy nie verlang na die stad nie.

Deep in the Karoo you will find rest. You will enjoy good hospitality with your friends. The silence makes you appreciate life more and the hiking trails are where you can walk a path. With no catching up, bonds are formed that will last forever! Amazing wildlife makes you not long for the city.

Magnificent farm stay. Gryhuisie is quirky and set in a lovely garden. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly.

The road to the farm is quite long and a bit rough. It takes about 40 minutes to an hour to travel from the main road to the farm. You can drive the road in a saloon but a car 4x4 is best suited for the road.

Beeldskone gasteplaas in die middel van die Camdeboo.

Ons het wonderlike gasvryheid ervaar by die Waterval Farm-Stay-plaas. Die eienaars was behulpsaam en baie goeie geselskap. Dis 'n beeldskone ligging met vele stappies om te doen en diere om te sien. Berei jouself ordentlik voor voor jy die grondpad inry so dat jy alles wat jy sal nodig hê, het vir jou tydperk hier en nie onnodig hoef uit te ry nie.

Escape to bliss, rest and peace.

Waterval is a hidden gem. Just the right place for an escape. So peaceful. Herdershuisie is a charming old Sheperd's house filled with historic memories. Kerkhuisie was the old sheperd's church. Both renovated keeping the farm feeling alive. When you go to the farm you really escape from it all, which include TV and WiFi, offering you time to connect with yourself and your loved ones. Booked 3 nights on our way to coast. Wish we booked for a longer period. This will be part of our holidays going forward. Thank you Ansie and Johan.

Wonderlike Karoo-ervaring van natuur en plaasomgewing.

Ons wou op 'n plaas bly eerder as in Graaff-Reinet self, en hierdie was vir ons 'n ideale oornagplek op pad Bergkwagga Nasionale Park toe. Dit was lekker om die outydse plaasopset te kon beleef en die Karoo-natuurskoon en dierelewe. Die grondpad op pad plaas toe na donker, die waterval die volgende oggend en die ongelooflike agterpad-roete Bergkwagga toe daarna. Die grondpad is plek-plek nogal sleg, maar die moeite werd. Die kouefront het ons swemplanne bederf, maar ons het die kaggel geniet! Die kaggel het nogals redelik gerook binne die huis, so dalk 'n skoorsteenprobleem wat uitgesorteer moes word. Ons het in Schoeman se Kothuis oornag. Waterval Farm-Stay is definitief aan te beveel, en ons sal enige tyd weer daar bly.

Wonderful Karoo experience of nature and farm environment.

We wanted to stay on a farm rather than in Graaff-Reinet itself, and this was an ideal stopover for us on our way to Bergkwagga National Park. It was nice to be able to experience the old-fashioned farm setting and the Karoo natural beauty and animal life. The dirt road on the way to the farm after dark, the waterfall the next morning and the incredible back road route to Bergkwagga afterwards. The dirt road is quite bad in places, but worth it. The cold front spoiled our swimming plans, but we enjoyed the fireplace! The fireplace still smoked quite a bit inside the house, so maybe a chimney problem that needed to be sorted out. We spent the night in Schoeman's Cottage. Waterval Farm-Stay is definitely recommended, and we would stay there again anytime.

Paddadam was one of the best self-catering units we have ever stayed in. It has a lot of character and has everything one needs. Was fantastic to be able to relax in front of a nice fireplace. We enjoyed the stargazing and the waterfall. Was sorry we didn't book longer.

Out of this world tranquillity.

Unbelievable sense of peace and isolation in this special place. Nice walks and roads to ride mountain bikes. Cottage excellently equipped. We took our two big dogs and it was no issue at all. Owner is great at communicating and accommodating. Wonderful stop for a night and ideally more.

Pragtige, veilige omgewing met 'n unieke aanvoeling vir reisigers.

Die herdershuisie is 'n baie unieke huislike plekkie om in te bly. Ons het regtig die eenvoudige en baie keurige uiteensetting van die huisie geniet. Baie vriendelike ontvangs en hulle gaan uit hulle pad om jou tuis te laat voel. Sal dit regtig aanbeveel vir mense wat van die rustigheid van die Karoo hou. Sal beslis weer eendag daar wil oorslaap.

Beautiful, safe environment with a unique feel for travelers.

The shepherd's cottage is a very unique homely place to stay. We really enjoyed the simple and very exquisite layout of the cottage. Very friendly reception and they go out of their way to make you feel at home. Would really recommend it to people who like the tranquility of the Karoo. Will definitely want to stay there again one day.

Asemrowend mooi.

Wat 'n ontdekking! 30 km buite Graaff-Reinet, op my plaas. Ons kothuis het geen elektrisiteit gehad nie, net kerse en lampe. Net soos ons dit wou hê. Vuur gemaak, vleisie gebraai. Hout opgesit en lank in die nag ingekuier. Die mooiste sterrehemel wat bo jou ontvou. Johan en sy vrou is bobaas-gashere. Baie dankie julle. 'n Ware belewenis in 'n stukkie hemel hier in ons eie land!

Breathtakingly beautiful.

What a discovery! 30 km outside Graaff-Reinet, on my farm. Our cottage had no electricity, just candles and lamps. Just the way we wanted it. Made a fire, fried meat. Put up wood and lingered long into the night. The most beautiful starry sky that unfolds above you. Johan and his wife are boss hosts. Thank you very much. A real experience in a piece of heaven here in our own country!

It was an overnight stay with a toddler.

A very peaceful farm environment out in the dry Karoo. The cottage had that 'outydse' vibe. Outside was very pretty with potted plants and quirky decor. There were friendly cats, chickens and meerkats to see and swings for our grandson to enjoy. We enjoyed the walk to the waterfall with its very unusual rock formation. My husband enjoyed the more strenuous walk up to God's Balcony. I slept very well in the warm, comfortable bed. Johan was a helpful, friendly host.

Waterval Farm offers a dream break away for the entire family to the Karoo!

If you are looking for tranquillity away from the busy life; if you want to experience the charming simplicity of the Karoo in the winter, this is the place for you. We hiked to the mountain, Gods Balcony, with its astonishing views, visited the Valley of Desolation, read and played games in front of the fire place, sat around the open fire at night and watched the stars. So much for the kids to do - and for them to experience a working farm with all the animals.

Wonderlike plek, tipies Karoo-atmosfeer stil rustig , baie mooi omgewing veral na goeie rëens

Die plaas is afgesonderd met goeie behuising vir elke smaak, die regte plek om net weer bewus te word van ons afhanklikheid van die Here en natuur, net weer te rewind en te weet daar is plekke in ons land waar plaaslewe en die gasvryheid van die eienaars jou behoorlik laat tuis voel en sommer langer wil vertoef. 'n Ware gem om te besoek in die Karoo, maar al die nodige fasiliteite is daar.

Wonderful place, typical Karoo atmosphere quiet peaceful, very beautiful surroundings especially after good rains

The farm is isolated with good housing for every taste, the right place to just become aware of our dependence on the Lord and nature, just to rewind and know that there are places in our country where farm life and the hospitality of the owners make you feel right at home and simply want to stay longer. A real gem to visit in the Karoo, but all the necessary facilities are there.

Back to nature getaway!

Although it takes approx 40 mins to get there from Graaff-Reinet due to the gravel road, this makes it the ideal getaway. Although I'm South African, I have lived in Taipei for 10 years and an old University friend from France came to spend time with his South African family and we decided to go on a roadtrip. We both wanted to spend time together under the stars, catching up and recalling good memories, outside around the fire, no electricity or modern distractions, just us with a guitar and delicious local meat bought from butcheries in town, perfect for a braai! We stayed in the only cottage that is off the grid and perfect for outdoor living. We enjoyed the isolation and the hikes on the property like God's Balcony, it was just breathtaking! Although Waterval is not for everyone, it was exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend it to those looking to get away from civilisation and reconnect with what's really important, free of modern distractions. Ansie and Johan Malherbe were the perfect hosts! Kind, generous and full of information and insight into the area. I would definitely go again.

Far from the maddening crowd!

The road to Waterval is not ideal for a regular sedan vehicle, but upon arrival, all was forgotten! The location and accommodation are so charming, the owners welcoming and the stars breathtaking. Due to the drought, we were encouraged to save water. If Waterval is lovely without water, we can only imagine how lovely it would be after the rain! We will definitely be back!

Puik plaasverblyf.

As jy hou van 'n regte plaas ver van die lawaai van die dorp of hoofpad, is die ligging puik. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons het die staproetes geniet. Die sterrehemel is baie mooi sigbaar so ver van die dorp se ligte. Ons was bevoorreg om die laaste dag reën te ervaar in die Karoo. Ons sal graag wil teruggaan wanneer dit goed gereën het en die Karoo op sy mooiste is. Dit sal 'n voorreg wees om te sien as die waterval met volle mag afkom.

Great farm stay.

If you like a real farm away from the noise of the town or main road, the location is great. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the hiking trails. The starry sky is very nicely visible so far from the town lights. We were privileged to experience rain on the last day in the Karoo. We would like to go back when it has rained well and the Karoo is at its most beautiful. It will be a privilege to see if the waterfall comes down in full force.

Glad nie toegerus vir 8 mense nie. Slegs een badkamer met net 'n stort en toilet, baie moeilik met klein kinders.

Ongelukkig was hierdie plek nie toegerus vir 8 mense nie, nie eens te praat van kinders nie. Slegs 1 toilet wat nie eers spoel sonder dat ons water in die bak moes bygooi nie. Baie baie klein yskas, ons vleis wat ons wou braai die aand het nie eens ingepas nie. Geen ys op perseel nie, al is dit baie warm. Droog en 30 km-grondpad tot by die huisie. Ook nie geskik vir jou troeteldiere nie.

Very very small fridge, our meat that we wanted to grill that night didn't even fit. No ice on premises, even though it is very hot. Dry and 30 km dirt road to the cottage. Also not suitable for your pets.

Waterval Farm-Stay 's response

Gelukkig is 99% van ons gaste baie gelukkig na 'n besoek aan Waterval. Ek het nie begrip hoe 'n huis beter toegerus moet word nie, aangesien elke ander gas wat ons nog in Kerkhuis verwelkom het tevrede was met die geriewe. Dit sluit die heerlike groot
werf waar troeteldiere heerlik kan baljaar in. Droogte, ja dit is steeds droog, warm ja, dit is somer in die Karoo. Van ons kant af, waardeer ons dit regtig baie as gaste die huisie so skoon moontlik probeer hou, maar in hierdie geval moes van die matte, meubels tot die matrasse nadat die betrokke gaste uit is, skoongemaak word! Dit bly vir ons 'n heerlike voorreg om gaste wat die plaas en die Karoo waardeer hier te verwelkom.

Quiet and amazing night time skies.

Off the beaten track. Very peaceful and kids will love the farm environment. Very quiet and with no ambient light, the night time skies are amazing. Very well furnished and quaint little houses. The 8 sleeper is plenty big enough and affords privacy. The road is bad for the first 8 km, but then really opens up on some spectacular Karoo scenery. Definitely a welcome stop on our trip from Sedgefield to Johannesburg.

I stayed at Waterval Farmstay in the Kerk Huisie with six friends. It was a bright and easy space to stay in with a wonderful fireplace in the kitchen. We were supplied with many blankets to stay warm and it quickly started feeling like home. I couldn't recommend staying here more! Besides the long drive on gravel road to the farmstay, it was all absolutely delightful.

A wonderful revitalising Karoo farm break.

We loved our stay here. We brought along food for the entire time and spent our days on the farm: hiking up to God's balcony and the waterfall, mountain-biking, sheep and lamb watching and chilling. Best views of the night skies from the herdershuisie and a friendly rooster that kept us company.

Paddadam-huisie is werklik ‘n unieke ervaring!

Waterval se ligging is werklik uniek! Ons het Paddamhuisie, selfs in die winter as baie besonders en enig in sy soort beleef. Ansie was ‘n baie goeie gasvrou en het vandat ons bespreek het, gesorg dat sy kontak behou en al ons vrae beantwoord. Ons 3 honde was welkom, dis vir ons die belangrikste van alles! Die stilte, die natuurskoon en unieke detail is kosbaar.

Our three dogs were welcome and that is what is most important to us\1 The quiet, scenery en unique details was precious.

A gem in the mountains.

Not knowing what to expect, we embarked on the scenic drive off the main highway, up into the mountains, we drank in our surroundings as we ascended the gravel road towards our destination. On arrival we were rewarded with a quaint house, spotlessly clean and decorated to the extent that it could keep any age of person occupied for quite a while. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even with the interruption of load shedding, in fact after being supplied with 2 solar lanterns, we sat outside and enjoyed the perfect evening, having a braai under the stars.

Ons het die rustigheid in die natuur, sterre skouspel saans en die gerustheid van 'n veilige omgewing geniet as 'n oorslaapbestemming op pad terug na Gauteng, na 'n redelke bedrywige vakansie.

Die grondpad was soms bietjie sleg, maar gelukkig is ons daaroor gewaarsku. Ons het baie wild gesien. Die herdershuisie laat ons dink aan Oupa se plaashuis. Dié is volledig toegerus met alles wat nodig is. Heerlik onder die koelte van die soetdoring gerus en saans die sterre gekyk. Die stilte en donkerte saans was net wat ons nodig gehad het. Ons het die baie geniet.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet of nature and the stars. This is the perfect place to stay over on your way back to Gauteng after a busy holiday.

The gravel road was bad at some times, but luckily we were warned about this before hand. We saw a lot of game. The cottage reminded us of our grandfathers farm house and had everything that we needed. We relaxed under the shade of the trees and gazed at the stars at night. The peace and quiet en the darkness at night was exactly what we needed. We loved it.

Oase in die Karoo.

Dankie Ansie en Johan vir die lekker kuier wat ons gehad het. Die Schoeman's-huis gee die gevoel van ware plaasverblyf. Ons het lekker ronde gestap. Die klim na God's Balcony was absoluut die moeite werd. Pragtige uitsig! Kinders het die swem in die swembaddam baie geniet. Alles het ons behoeftes voorsien.

Hier kon ons net "wees" en die ongelooflike gasvryheid, die stilte, die sterre en wonderlike natuurskoon beleef!

Waterval Farm-Stay en sy mense is definitief aan te beveel! Ons het nog nooit sulke gasvryheid beleef by enige ander plek waar ons gebly het nie. Om die detail van die decor (nie net binne nie maar ook buite) te beskryf is moeilik want daar is min byvoeglike naamwoorde om dit oor te dra - keurig, uniek en huislik. Ons kon regtig net "wees" en het batterye gelaai en ontspan onder die Karoo-sterre en volmaan! Paddadam (alhoewel baie warm omdat dit Desember was) is absoluut uniek en 'n belewenis. Al die ander "cottages" is egter ook onbeskryflik! Alhoewel die pad na Waterval nogal sleg was is die "prys" aan die einde daarvan die moeite werd! Definitief sal ons teruggaan en kan dit aanbeveel. Dankie Johan en Ansie vir julle moeite en gasvryheid - julle voel soos familie en nie gasheer/-vrou nie! As jy wil rus en tyd met jouself en jou geliefdes spandeer, is Waterval die plek!

Here we could just "be" and experience the incredible hospitality, the silence, the stars and wonderful scenery!

Waterfall Farm-Stay and its people are definitely to be recommended! We have never experienced such hospitality at any other place we have stayed. To describe the detail of the decor (not only inside but also outside) is difficult because there are few adjectives to convey it - exquisite, unique and homely. We could really just "be" and recharge our batteries and relax under the Karoo stars and full moon! Frog Pond (although very hot because it was December) is absolutely unique and an experience. However, all the other "cottages" are also indescribable! Although the road to Waterfall was quite bad, the "prize" at the end of it is worth it! We will definitely go back and can recommend it. Thank you Johan and Ansie for your effort and hospitality - you feel like family and not host/wife! If you want to rest and spend time with yourself and your loved ones, Waterfall is the place!

Die eienaars, Ansie en Johan het ons dadelik laat tuis voel op aankoms. Die stilte en natuur is fantasties. Na 'n lang reis van Pretoria op pad Mosselbaai toe word hierdie definitief een van my gunsteling-oorslaapplekkies en sal dit aan enige iemand aanbeveel.

Heerlike oorslaap in Karoo-paradys.

'n Pragtige Karoo-plaas waar die rustigheid jou oorval en jy heerlik kan ontspan. Ons is baie hartlik ontvang en Grys Huisie is 'n pragtige netjiese en skoon huisie. Ons het net een nag gebly en sal vir seker volgende keer meer as een nag oorslaap. Hierdie oorslaap was baie goeie waarde vir geld. Volgende keer sal ons ook die staproetes probeer.

A beautiful Karoo farm where the tranquility overcomes you and you can relax. We were very warmly welcomed and Gray Cottage is a beautiful neat and clean cottage. We only stayed one night and will sleep over more than one night for sure next time. This stay was very good value for money. Next time we will also try the hiking trails.

Wegkom in die berge.

Waterval Farm-Stay is vir die van ons wat wil wegkom van die gejaag van die lewe, 'n bietjie wil rustig raak en wil vergeet van selfone en televisie. Die omgewing is baie rustig en daar is lekker stap- en klimroetes op die plaas. 'n Mens het nodig om so nou en dan af te skakel, Waterval is die perfekte plek om dit te doen. Die pad maak dit ongelukkig moeilik vir die BMW's en Audi's met lae-profielbande, maar dit is deel van die "charm" van Waterval, dit is nog in die ongerepte natuur. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier. Die gasheer was baie vriendelik en ons het niks kortgekom gedurende ons kort verblyf daar.

Get away in the mountains.

Waterval Farm-Stay is for those of us who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, want to relax a bit and forget about cell phones and television. The surroundings are very peaceful and there are nice walking and climbing routes on the farm. One needs to switch off every now and then, Waterval is the perfect place to do that. The road unfortunately makes it difficult for the BMWs and Audis with low-profile tires, but that's part of the "charm" of Waterfall, it's still in pristine nature. We will definitely visit there again. The host was very friendly and we lacked nothing during our short stay there.

Fantasties.

Paddadam is ideaal om te rus en weg te breek van die moderne leefstyl. Boeklees by kerslig en vuur in die kaggel, vat ons Afrikaners terug na ons wortels en dit voel lekker. Daar is heelwat om te doen op die plaas in terme van MTB, stap en 4x4, alhoewel ons meestal net gestap het. Die sterre in die aand was asemrowend en dit het gevoel of mens daaraan kan vat, so helder en skoon is die lug. Johan was baie gasvry en daar is in al ons behoeftes voorsien. Ons sal probeer om dit 'n jaarlikse instelling te maak.

Fantastic.

Frog Dam is ideal for resting and breaking away from the modern lifestyle. Reading books by candlelight and a fire in the fireplace takes us Afrikaners back to our roots and it feels good. There is quite a lot to do on the farm in terms of MTB, walking and 4x4, although we mostly just walked. The stars in the evening were breathtaking and it felt like you could touch them, so clear and clean is the sky. Johan was very hospitable and all our needs were met. We will try to make this an annual institution.

Fantastic farm with amazing walks. Herdershuisie was not good value, Gryshuisie is worth it.

We arrived at about 17:00 with light snow falling, absolutely amazing, and headed off to the Herdershuisie, which looked cute. The fireplace in the lounge area, with 1 bed in it, smokes terribly as the wooden lintel smoulders after a while and the whole room fills with smoke. The door and windows of the house don’t seal, so you get freezing air into the house all through the night. There are are no ceilings in Herdershuisie, so it’s freezing in winter and must cook you in summer. No complementary firewood is supplied with the house. You have to buy wood at R25 a bag . We went through 7 in night one night, as the kids slept in front off the fireplace in the kitchen area and burnt all the wood to stay warm. The shower is a joke, 5 fine sprinkles and the gas geyser is either to hot or off, plus we had no hot water on the last night. I checked out Gryshuisie before the next guests arrived. This is what I would have expected at Herdershuisie. The walks on the farm are beautiful and the hike to Gods Balcony is a must with its spectacular views. I would not stay in Herdershuisie for free, especially for 4 nights.

Min plekke soos die om te gaan vergeet van alles. Baie moeite wat die eienaar gedoen het om die verblyf privaat en gerieflik te maak. Waterval is ver uit die dorp en mens kan nie die plaas en omgewing ten volle waardeer deur net een nag te bly nie. Hulle sal ons weer sien vir 'n langer tyd.

Toaddam is a nice overnight stop.

The place is nice and tidy, and very cutely furnished. However, I would not say that it is ideal for travelers who drive a long way - as the additional 33km farm road from Graaf Reinet sounds short but is not that short, and it has to be tackled in and out, which adds quite a bit of extra travel time. If you want to enjoy this experience - maybe extend your trip by a day or two.

Oase in die middel van die Karoo.

Gasvryheid oorweldigend, netjies, volledig toegerus en die grootste bonus is geen selfoonsein, behalwe WiFi by ontvangs as jy nou regtig moet. Het heerlik gerus en ontspan. Neem kennis dat die grondpad van amper 30 km 'n beproewing vir enige voertuig behalwe 'n bakkie of 4x4 sal wees. Die uiteinde maak dit egter meer as die moeite werd. 'n Oase op die voorstoep van "God's balcony".

Salig om te kon oornag waar g'n selfoon sal werk nie.

Salige Karoogasvryheid waar g'n selfoon sal kan werk nie. Alles was netjies en skoon met ons aankoms, en ons gasheer en -vrou was vriendelik. Gryshuisie is geskik vir 'n klein gesin, met al die basiese geriewe wat met 'n kothuis tesame gaan. Die badkamer is besonders ruim. Die waterval wat oor die koepelvormige ysterklip spoel behoort skouspelagtig te wees wanneer dit weer reën. Wanneer die lug ooptrek, is die sterrehemel bokant die werf aanskoulik, met geen dorpsligte in sig nie. Maak net die deure en ruite toe wanneer jy die verskeie staproetes gaan aandurf, want die kese is geslepe en kom sommer vroegoggend uit die bergveld uit.

Blessed to be able to spend the night where no cell phone will work.

Blissful Karoo hospitality where no cell phone will be able to work. Everything was neat and clean upon our arrival, and our host and wife were friendly. Gryshuisie is suitable for a small family, with all the basic amenities that go with a cottage. The bathroom is particularly spacious. The waterfall that cascades over the domed ironstone should be spectacular when it rains again. When the sky clears, the starry sky above the wharf is vivid, with no town lights in sight. Just close the doors and windows when you go on the various hiking trails, because the kese are cunning and come out of the mountain field early in the morning.

Mooi mooi mooi, oulike huisie, stunning plaas en meerkatte!

Die huis is silwerskoon, alles is daar wat jy nodig het, tot wasgoeddraad en pennetjies. Plaas bietjie ver uit die dorp, so mense moet in gedagte hou dat daai 27 km lange grondpad omtrent lank voel, maar die plaas maak dit die moeite werd. Die eienaars is stunning en baie verwelkomend, die mak meerkatte is fantasties om te sien. Huisie is baie lekker om in te bly, ek sal vir seker weer eendag hiernatoe terugkom. Definitief die moeite werd. Bietjie te veel ornamentjies in die huis, maar dit het my nie gepla nie, die omgewing en lekker linne het opgemaak daarvoor. Die kinders het wel gekla oor hulle matrasse op die enkelbeddens, dit was baie pap, maar dit is 'n kleinigheidjie!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful, cute house, stunning farm and meerkats!

The house is spotlessly clean, everything you need is there, even clothesline and pins. Farm is a bit far out of town, so people should keep in mind that the 27 km long dirt road feels pretty long, but the farm makes it worth it. The owners are stunning and very welcoming, the tame meerkats are fantastic to see. House is very nice to stay in, I will definitely come back here again one day. Definitely worth it. A little too many ornaments in the house, but it didn't bother me, the environment and nice linen made up for it. The children did complain about their mattresses on the single beds, they were very soft, but that's a small thing!

Dit is alles behalwe 5 ster gehalte, maar die beste blyplek, so gemaklik en na aan die natuur.

Dit is nie wat ons verwag het nie, maar het alle verwagtinge oorskry. As jy graag op die hande gedra wil word is dit nie vir jou nie, as jy soos ons, na aan die natuur wil leef en dit geniet, kan ons beslis hierdie plek aanbeveel. Baie primitief maar tog so lekker. Jy weet jy is in die natuur, op 'n plaas en niks wat pla nie. Ons sal beslis weer 'n plan maak om daar oor te bly, hierdie keer beslis vir meer as net een nag.

This is not what we expected, but exceeded all expectations. If you want to be pampered, it's not for you. If you love life and would like to be close to nature, we can definitely recommend this place. Very primitive but great. You'll know you are in nature, on a farm and there is nothing bothering you. We will definitely make a plan to stay here again, for more than one night next time.

A lovely, secluded, safe hideaway with very friendly hosts.

I intended to show a German visitor a South African farm. The small house we were renting was tastefully furnished in a classic / antique style. It also had an open fireplace and the hosts provided us with wood from the farm. Our accommodation and the nearby farmhouse were lovingly well maintained demonstrating the extra care and dedication of the owners. Unfortunately, due to the recent draught in the area, the waterfall and the natural pool were close to dry. Yet there is a swimming pool next to the farmhouse embedded in a lovely rose garden. If you are looking for a countryside breakaway Waterval Farm-Stay can only be recommended and is definitely worth accepting the gravel road leading to it, making it a quiet and safe hideaway. It lived up to all my expectations. Me and my German visitor enjoyed it tremendously.

Heerlike plaasverblyf met baie verrassings!

Maak seker dat wanneer jy afdraai na Erasmuskloof, jy die meterlesing op jou motor dophou. Die pad is nogal 'n uitdaging en omdat ek nagelaat het om die kilometers dop te hou, het ek 'n paar keer amper besluit om om te draai! Maar ek is so bly ons het nie. Dit is regtig die heerlikste, stilste plaaskuier ooit! Ek wens so ons het meer tyd as een nag gehad om hier te kuier. Die huisie is pragtig met soveel persoonlike detail, heerlike angorabokhaar komberse - baie luuks! En dan kom die verrassings - twee van die oulikse, vetste meerkatte wat jy ooit kan hoop om te ontmoet. En hulle is mak! Die eienaars is baie interessante mense met vele stories om na te luister. Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring om 'n meerkat te kon vashou! Dankie vir 'n heerlike kuier.

Ensure that when you turn off to Erasmuskloof, you keep an eye on the kilometer-meter on your car. The road is quite a challenge and because I forgot to check my kilometers, I almost chose to turn around a few times! But I am so happy that I didn't! It is truly the nicest, quietest farm stay ever! I so wish I had more time than just one night to spend at this place. The house is beautiful with so much personal detail, lovely angora-hair blankets - very luxurious! And then come the surprises - two of the cutest, fattest mongoose you could ever hope to meet. And they are tame! The owners are very interesting people with lots of stories for you. It was a wonderful experience to be able to hold a mongoose! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

It's a great place but the facilities let us down.

We were overwhelmed with the warm atmosphere upon our arrival. However, we couldn't take a hot shower and the morning before we left the kettle couldn't boil. The electricity was unstable. Our daughters were scared because of men who were next to their room at night and shone into the rooms with flashlights.

Vars lug, vriendelike mense, mooi plek.

Dit was lekker om na 'n lang rit van Johannesburg af te kan terugsit en rus op die groen gras in die skadu van groot bome. Johan en Ansie is gawe mense wat kom groet as jy aankom. Die kinders was dadelik op en weg om na al die plaasdinge te gaan kyk. Die rit in was lank, maar die moeite werd!

Fresh air, friendly people, beautiful place.

It was nice to be able to sit back and rest on the green grass in the shade of big trees after a long drive from Johannesburg. Johan and Ansie are nice people who come to greet you when you arrive. The children were immediately up and away to look at all the farm things. The drive in was long, but worth it!

Rustige wegbreek!

Baie vriendelike gashere. Wonderlike, stil omgewing waar mens weer kan stil raak en die natuur geniet asook die plaaslewe. Die jongmense het die perde baie geniet.

Baie rustige naweek gehad.

Dit was baie koud, maar ons het om die vuur gekuier en warm gebly. Ons het 'n kort stappie ingepas na watervalle. Oor algemeen was dit baie lekker. Ons is baie vriendelik verwelkom. Die huisie waarin ons gebly het is reg langs die hoofhuis. Ek sou 'n klein bietjie meer privaat wou wees. Daar is bietjie min pakplek in kombuis siende dat dit selfsorg is en ons al ons kos vir die naweek saamgevat het. Die slaapplek is baie lekker en ons het meer as genoeg ekstra komberse gehad vir die koue. Ek sal Waterval Farm-Stay aanbeveel vir 'n naweek se wegbreek. Dis glad nie luuks nie, maar nog steeds baie lekker.

Had a very peaceful weekend.

It was very cold, but we hung out around the fire and stayed warm. We fit in a short walk to waterfalls. Overall it was very nice. We were welcomed very kindly. The cottage we stayed in is right next to the main house. I would like to be a little bit more private. There is little storage space in the kitchen considering that it is self-catering and we have packed all our food for the weekend. The sleeping place is very nice and we had more than enough extra blankets for the cold. I would recommend Waterfall Farm-Stay for a weekend getaway. It's not luxurious at all, but still very nice.

Lekker verblyf!

Die munisipale verantwoordelike grondpad verdien aandag, maar die verblyf op die plaas was ongelooflik! Ons het met verwagting arriveer, en die verwagting was spoedig oortref en ons het verlaat met emmers vol herinneringe! Elke besonderse detail van ons verblyf was ongelooflik. Die gasvryheid was 'n aangename lafenis en die diere en geluide op die plaas 'n fees! Ons gaan beslis weer daar kom kuier!

Nice stay!

The municipally responsible dirt road deserves attention, but the stay on the farm was incredible! We arrived with expectations, and expectations were soon exceeded and we left with buckets full of memories! Every special detail of our stay was amazing. The hospitality was a pleasant experience and the animals and sounds on the farm a feast! We will definitely visit there again!

Awesome place

We spent 2 nights at Gryshuisie. The experience of being on the farm with no cellphone signal and no disturbances alone is worth the trip. The owners go out of their way to accommodate you, even going so far as to arrange items we left behind to be returned to us. Between the horse rides, goats, tame meerkats and swimming in the farm pool both children(8 and 13 years) were never bored. A true gem. We will definitely be returning time and again.

Excellent

We visited Gryshuisie for a 2 night stay mid-July. The hosts are very friendly. Lots to do on farm and lots to see, the staff are also very friendly and helpful. We did some horse riding, saw lots of animals and had a relaxing weekend, because we love outdoors and 4 x 4 rides, the 27 kilos on the "non tarred" road was no problem. People that do not love the out doors should not bother. This is for the people that loves a challenge, not for boring ghost souls!! Awesome weekend!

Alhoewel ons net een aand oorgebly het, was dit 'n wonderlike ervaring. Die rustigheid weg van alles en almal, die omgewing, die atmosfeer in die huisie, die gasvryheid van Johan en Ansie ... Dit is die 27 km se grondpad deur Erasmuskloof werd! Gaan beleef dit! Gaan asem dit in!

Awesome hospitality in the best setting for a quiet and comfortable stay - We'll be back!

From the initial enquiry to the final good-bye it was a great experience. The patrons are so passionate about what they do and offer. We will change our holiday plans to be able to stay longer as we would love to do the walks on the farm and explore the area. In this quiet serene setting, without even a cellphone to bother you, the soul gets to rest. The rooms are spacious and of high standard. We would recommend this facility to all our friends with similar interests. Check the road conditions in the rainy season with the owners before you arrive.

Ons het die pragtige plaas baie geniet.

Die gryshuisie is die allermooiste plekkie op 'n besonderse plaas. Die eienaars en plaaswerkers was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Ons het veral die draffie in die grondpad baie geniet. Die roete na die plaas is pragtig, maar dalk 'n bietjie lank vir haastige reisigers.

The little gray house is the most beautiful place on a special farm. The owners and farm workers were very friendly and helpful. We felt right at home. We especially enjoyed the run in the dirt road. The route to the farm is beautiful, but maybe a little long for travelers in a hurry.
