Gasvry, veilig, asemrowende natuur.

Baie lekker, rustig en veilig gebly. Asemrowende plaas. Gasvrou baie gasvry en lig jou in oor die geskiedenis van die omgewing met stawende literatuur en uitstalling van artefakte. Sal enige tyd aanbeveel.

'n Belewenis.

Sal baie graag wil teruggaan daarna toe en langer kuier. Die gasvrou is 'n fenominale vrou. Dit wat sy op die plaas vermag en die kennis wat sy oordra is baie interessant. Uitroei van black wattels, hervestiging van inheemse bome, gras ens. Plantekennis, Mahem bewaring. Berge 3 kante. Die mooiste tonele. Kamer en diens meer as uitstekend. Baie dankie, Phyll.

An experience.

Would love to go back and stay longer. The hostess is a phenomenal woman. What she accomplishes on the farm and the knowledge she conveys is very interesting. Eradication of black wattles, relocation of native trees, grass etc. Plant knowledge, Mahem conservation. Mountains 3 sides. The most beautiful scenes. Room and service more than excellent. Thank you so much, Phyll.

Dit was 'n besonder aangename ervaring om by hierdie spesiale verblyfplek aan die voetheuwels van die Drakensberg te oornag.

In die snerpende koue het die gasverwarmer en die elektriese komberse meegehelp om 'n snoesige atmosfeer te skep. Wat 'n pragtige badkamer! Die R396-pad vanaf Maclear na Woodcliffe laat egter veel te wense oor.

It was a particularly pleasant experience to spend the night at this special accommodation in the foothills of the Drakensberg.

In the biting cold, the gas heater and the electric blankets helped to create a cozy atmosphere. What a beautiful bathroom! However, the R396 road from Maclear to Woodcliffe leaves much to be desired.

A peaceful retreat away from city life.

We had a wonderful stay at Woodcliffe. We stayed 2 nights, but could easily have stayed a week. Good beds and bedding and warm electric blankets made for a comfortable nights sleep. The Jetmaster fireplace worked wonderfully. Lovely place to sit outside and braai and the views were just breathtaking. We hope to be back soon!

Wonderful, beautiful surroundings with lots of activities.

Woodcliffe cottage is right in the mountains and has numerous activities on hand. Cottage is warm and friendly - a wonderful place to spend a few days relaxing and enjoying your surroundings. The road from Maclear can be a bit of a challenge, but you are warned about this beforehand.

Asemrowende natuurskoon. Vars berglug. Salige sielsrus.

Hierdie kothuis, vermoed ek, word deur menige reisiger onderskat. Dit is die perfekte oornagplek om Naudesnek Pas te ervaar. Die ernstige 4x4-roete is 'n moet, asook een van of al die staproetes as die tyd dit toelaat. Oorgenoeg hout, vriendelike gashere en die skoon lug en koue maak dit 'n item vir jou emmerskoplys. Ek beveel die plek beslis aan. Jy kan 'n aangename verrasing te wagte wees.

Breathtaking scenery. Fresh mountain air. Blissful soul rest.

This cottage, I suspect, is underrated by many a traveller. It is the perfect overnight stop to experience Naudesnek Pass. The serious 4x4 route is a must, as well as one or all of the walking routes if time permits. Plenty of wood, friendly hosts and the clean air and cold make it an item for your bucket list. I definitely recommend the place. You may be in for a pleasant surprise.

Gerieflike verblyf in fatastiese natuurskoon area.

Ryan en sy vrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam met die aanvanklike kommunikasie oor ons verwagte aankomstyd en aanwysings, sowel as die ontvangs en raad / advies tydens ons kort verblyf. Die plaas is asemrowend. Verblyf is baie netjies, gerieflik, goed toegerus en privaat. Ons het in die tuinwoonstel gebly. Ons sal baie graag weer wil teruggaan en meer tyd daar spandeer en die plaas en area beter verken! Dankie Woodcliffe!

The farm is breathtaking. Accommodation is very neat, comfortable, well equipped and private. We stayed in the garden apartment. We would love to go back again and spend more time there and explore the farm and area better! Thanks Woodcliffe!

Ideale plek om die pragtige omgewing te geniet.

Ek en my vrou op 'n wegbreek langnaweek, het 4 aande in die Cottage gebly. Pragtige area. Die aande steek jy 'n vuurtjie aan met die geluide van kransvoëls, beeste en jakkelse. Ons het die dag staproetes deur die Drakensberge geniet! Swem in helder, skoon poele. Naude's Nek was ook mooi om te sien. Grondpad Rhodes toe, sal ek net genoeg tyd los. Die pad is maar vol gate, maar baie mooi roete. Die cottage het al die basiese benodighede. (Soos wat jy in plaas huisie sal kry).

The ideal place to enjoy the beautiful area.

My wife and I took a getaway over the long weekend and stayed 4 night in the cottage. Beautiful area. At night you light a fire with the sound of the birds, cattle and jackals. In the day we enjoyed some hiking trails in the Drakensberg mountains! Swim in clear, clean pools. Naude's Nek was also beautiful to see. For the gravel road to Rhodes, I would just set aside enough time. The road is full of potholes but a beautiful route. The cottage has all the basic necessities (like you would find in a farm house).
