Kos vir die siel in 'n lieflike omgewing en gerieflike verblyf.

Netjiese, goed toegeruste huis in 'n lieflike omgewing. Gasvrou baie behulpsaam en doen moeite om besoek lekker te maak. Volop voeltjies en troppe wildsbokke naby die huis. Kan hierdie kos vir die siel aanbeveel.

Food for the soul in lovely surroundings and comfortable accommodation.

Neat, well-equipped house in a lovely setting. Hostess very helpful and makes an effort to make the visit enjoyable. Plenty of birds and herds of antelope near the house. Can highly recommend this food for the soul.

Ons het vreeslik lekker by die Wiid's gebly! Die akkommodasie is netjies en skoon, wens ons het meer tyd daar spandeer.

Dit was befok.

Dit was my laaste oornagplek vir my vakansie voordat ek teruggekeer het Gauteng toe. Dit was die hoogtepunt van die vakansie, definitief sal ek weer daar gaan slaap.

Beste waarde vir geld!

Fantastiese plek! Die foto's kom nie naby hoe mooi dit in werklikheid is nie. Daar is 'n watergat en soutlek net 'n paar meter van die huis af. Silwer skoon en gemaklik. Die natuur is ongelooflik mooi en ongerep. Ons wens ons kon langer bly.

Best value for money!

Fantastic place! The pictures don't come close to how beautiful it is in reality. There is a waterhole and salt lick just a few meters from the house. Silver clean and comfortable. The nature is incredibly beautiful and untouched. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Awesome! Almost afraid to tell how great it was! Want it all for myself!

Our stay was simply great! I wanted a good start to our annual Christmas holiday, but instead we got an awesome start. 5 days' rest in one night. Very secluded, very quiet, beautiful nocturnal sounds, majestic view of the Milky Way.

Dankie Riaan vir die mooi review. Altyd vir ons lekker as ons gaste die rustigheid kan ervaar.

Alle verwagtinge is oortref. Só só die moeite werd. Slaap ten minste 2 aande.

Soveel wilde diere gesien. Bring verkyker en spotlight. Huisie is baie baie goed toegerus. Beste wat ons nog ervaar het. Stilte is tasbaar. Probeer in winter besoek. Daar is 'n lekker plaasdammetjie om in af te koel in die somer. Moet ten minste 2 dae oorbly. Life is a journey not a destination. Maak Witgatboom deel van jou journey wanneer jy weer Kaap toe kom en N12 gebruik.

All expectations were exceeded. So worth it. Sleep at least 2 nights.

Saw so many wild animals. Bring binoculars and spotlight. Cottage is very very well equipped. Best we have ever experienced. Silence is palpable. Try to visit in winter. There is a nice farm pond to cool off in in the summer. Must stay at least 2 days. Life is a journey not a destination. Make Witgatboom part of your journey when you come to Cape Town again and use N12.

Juweel van 'n plek.

Baie oulike goed ingerigte plekkie. Dit was net wat die siel nodig gehad! Die gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan met 'n geskenkie (biltong) op die bed en dan was daar lekker beskuit en koffie gereed vir ons. Hout was ook reeds afgelewer toe ons daar aankom. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike unieke ontspanningsjuweel van 'n plek. Sal enige tyd dit aanbeveel! Jul sien ons gou weer!

Gem of a place.

Very cute well appointed place. It was just what the soul needed! The hostess went out of her way with a small gift (biltong) on the bed and then there were nice biscuits and coffee ready for us. Wood was also already delivered when we got there. Thank you so much for a wonderfully unique relaxing gem of a place. Would recommend anytime! You will see us again soon!

A lovely remote spot in the Karoo. Very well-appointed cottage. We only stayed one night but would recommend a 2-night stay as there are lovely walks in the veld and a wonderful place to unwind.

'n Kuier in die wintermaande sou verkieslik gewees het.

Ons het lekker gebly ten spyte van die hitte. Die rigting aanwysers is swak en die aanwysings deur gasheer verskaf kon doen met groter en duideliker padtekens. Die kragomskakelaar (inverter) in die kombuis raas wat bietjie steurend is. Damwater vol slyk.

A visit in the winter months would have been preferable.

We had a nice stay despite the heat. The direction indicators are poor and the directions provided by the host could do with bigger and clearer road signs. The power converter (inverter) in the kitchen is noisy which is a bit disturbing. Dam water full of mud.

Witgatboom Verblyf 's response

Johann, dankie vir jou terugvoer. Wat aanwysings betref, het ek met LekkeSlaap opgevolg en versoek dat hul hul aanwysings moet wysig, ons sien egter nie wat hul vir gaste deurgee.

Dis hoekom ek vooraf vir my gaste aanwysings van my kant stuur wat ek versoek hul moet volg. Julle eerste gaste wat met aanwysings gesukkel het. Jammer daaroor.

Die Karoo hitte is maar sleg in die somer en nie almal kan daarmee saamleef.

Wat die plaasdam betref, is dit daar om eerstens diere water te gee. Ongelukkig is dit onmoontlik om dit so skoon soos 'n swembad te hou as dit in die veld staan.

Ons neem kennis van al jou punte en ons streef om voordurend te verbeter en te vernuwe.

Hoop ons kan jul eendag weer huisves.

Groete

A peaceful stay. The many thorns were a little frustrating but it's the Karoo.

A wonderful place to be in the wilderness but you definitely need a 2x4 or 4x4 bakkie to travel in and out.

Hier rus jou siel, hier herontdek jy jouself! Hier kry jy nuwe waardering vir die lewe. Jy word van voor af dankbaar! Dans spore in die stof, swem in die dam, gesels, lag en kuier tot laataand! Staan 2 uur op om die ongelooflike sterrehemel te beleef. Staan op as 'n nuwe mens! Sal vir seker aanbeveel! Van die inboek, aanwysings, geriewe, als 5 ster! Julle sien ons definitief weer!

Dance tracks in the dust, swim in the pond, talk, laugh and socialize until late at night! Get up at 2 o'clock to experience the incredible starry sky. Arise as a new man! Would recommend for sure! From the check-in, directions, facilities, all 5 star! You will definitely see us again!

Beautiful and peaceful hideaway!

We only had a one-night stay, but left feeling renewed. The neat and beautifully decorated accommodation at Witgatboom Verblyf had everything we needed and showed careful consideration for its occupants. The evening was so relaxing - barbecuing in the huge fire pit and chatting until late under the full moon. We will definitely stay there again if we travel that way! But next time, we'll be sure to stay for more than one night!

The owners are saints. Don't forget your SUV or 4x4 or at least something higher than a Corolla. This is a mesmerising destination! I would recommend this stay to anyone young and old the silence and fresh air of the Karoo will give you peace of mind body and soul.

A gem in the middle of the bush.

We travel a lot, this beautiful, well organised house is one of the best we have stayed in. Completely off the grid, plenty game right next to the house. You dont see anyone, so organized, we never even met the owner. Away from people and very peaceful.

Wat 'n ongelooflike mooi, netjiese en skoon plek. Ons sal definitief terug gaan soontoe. Dis absoluut stunning om kwaliteittyd saam met jou geliefdes daar te spandeer in die stilte van die natuur.

Huisie is pragtig, netjies en skoon. Geriewe is alles daar en alles wat mens nodig het. Waardeer die skoon linne en handoeke met 'n spesiale sjokolade op elke bed. Dis die klein goedjies wat die lewe spesiaal maak.
