Tranquility of the flowing river is very soothing.

Stay was enjoyable and peaceful. The place needs regular cleaning and fumigation. Personally, I feel that the sink should have been in the kitchen, not way over there, fifteen steps away. It's inconvenient.

Not worth the price we paid.

The view was spectacular. The chalet itself is very nice. Nobody helped us with our luggage. Nobody welcomed us at the chalet itself, only very quickly at reception. The chalet was full of spiders and cockroaches. The chalet was also not cleaned properly and all the bins were not emptied. However, we did have absolute privacy. The road was in a very bad state. We loved the setup of the chalet. We will, however, never go there again!

Incredibly relaxing.

The nature, birds and water that you hear running does one's soul so much good. I would just suggest that they replace the seats on the benches — sit very deep and on the springs.

'n Plek waar jou siel kan rus.

Ons was vier volwassenes wat in die winter daar gekuier het. Die fantastiese uitsig, ruim vertrekke en kaggel was goed vir rus en ontspan. Dit was te koud om op die stoep te braai. Dit sal help as jy jou eie droë hout kan bring, want die oord het net nat hout gehad. Ons gasvrou was flink en behulpsaam toe ons probleme met warm water ondervind het. Sterk aan te beveel. Onthou net dat gewone sedan motors met lae suspensie nie eintlik daar kan ry nie.

A place where your soul can rest.

We were four adults visiting in the winter. The fantastic view, spacious rooms and fireplace were good for rest and relaxation. It was too cold to braai on the stoep. It would help if you could bring your own dry wood as the resort only had wet wood. Our hostess was quick and helpful when we had problems with hot water. Highly recommend. Just remember that regular sedan cars with low suspension can't actually drive there.

Around the Pot gaan ry, so net aande by huis gewees.

Ontvangs was baie vriendelik en het dadelik kom groet en nodige inligting verskaf - huisies was mooi skoon, dankbaar vir hout en blits by beide kaggel en braaiplek. Wens ons kon meer deur dag daar wees, die natuurskoon rondom rivier is besonders, ons beplan reeds ons somerwegbreek met vriende sodat ons die swembad/braai-areas beter kan benut. Net bietjie opbouende kritiek: daar was rotte/muise in een van die huise, ons woon op 'n kleinhoewe so weet huisies in die veldarea is maar geneig om besoekers te kry - dalk net kyk daarna. Batterye in een van die afstandbeertoestelle lyk of 'n hond dit gekou het. Die banke in ons huisie is bietjie lam gesit al - dalk tyd vir nuwe. (Kilimanjaro).

Went for a drive around the pot, so only been at home in the evenings.

Reception was very friendly and immediately came to greet and provide necessary information - cottages were nice and clean, grateful for wood and lightning at both fireplace and barbecue area. Wish we could have been there more during the day, the scenery around the river is exceptional, we are already planning our summer break with friends so we can make better use of the pool/braai areas. Just some constructive criticism: there were rats/mice in one of the houses, we live on a small holding so know that houses in the field area tend to get visitors - maybe just look at it. Batteries in one of the remote bearers look like a dog chewed them. The sofas in our little house are a bit worn out - maybe time for new ones. (Kilimanjaro).

Pragtig, asemrowend, maar bietjie gevaarlik ook.

Ek sal definitief terugkeer. Dis baie mooi. Al probleem was sein en ek's Vodacom. Wat baie weird is. Want Vodacom werk altyd, al is dit loadshedding. Gesukkel nou en dan om ontvangs in die hande te kry vir assistance. Daar was 'n slang by die buitestort. So ek sal aanbveel dat die bosse rondom die huis bietjie verwyder moet word, dis tot teen die huis se mure. En die water het verhoed dat mens kan bad want dis bruin en koud omdat dit werk met gas. So daar is 'n tekort aan warm water. Maar ek love die plek buiten daai foutjies. Die grondpad tot daar en tot by die huise is verskriklik. So next time moet ek kom met 'n 4x4, want 'n normale standaardkar sal definitief seerkry op die grondpad en ook die pad vanaf reception tot by jou huis. But still I love Aloe️.

Beautiful, breathtaking, but a bit dangerous too.

I will definitely return. It's very beautiful. All problem was signal and I'm Vodacom. Which is very weird. Because Vodacom always works, even if it is loadshedding. Difficulty now and then to get hold of reception for assistance. There was a snake by the outdoor shower. So I would recommend that the bushes around the house should be removed a bit, that's up to the house's walls. And the water prevented one from being able to bathe because it is brown and cold because it works with gas. So there is a shortage of hot water. But I love the place apart from those mistakes. The dirt road up there and up to the houses is terrible. So next time I have to come with a 4x4, because a normal standard car will definitely get hurt on the dirt road and also the road from reception to your house. But still I love Aloe️.

Setting good, but most of resort inaccessible. Access road worst we’ve ever encountered.

Units were spacious and reasonably equipped, but they were not clean and the units looked as if they needed maintenance urgently. The units were well situated, but the river was choked with aliens and there was no access to it. Would not return or recommend it to anyone.

Vinnige wegbreek van die stadslewe in die middel van die natuur langs die rivier.

Baie lekker ruim eenheid (Drakensberg) en ons kon lekker kuier op die groot stoep met braaigeriewe en swembad. Uitkyk op die Breederivier is beeldskoon.

Die plek kort aandag. Houtwerke kan doen met skuur en nuwe laag vernis. Die plek het verf nodig. Baie kakkerlakke. Sitkamermeubels sal moet vervang word, dis afgeleef en stukkend. Beddegoed kan ook doen met nuwes. ’n Diep skoonmaak word aanbeveel.

Dit was 'n rustige wegbreek omring deur natuurskoon en die mooie Breederivier.

Die ontvangs was vriendelik en die rustigheid van die rivier en die voëls het ons weer laat asemskep. Die omgewing is onvergeetlik mooi en die uitsig vanaf die eenheid was regtig 'n bonus. Die eenheid was skoon en netjies en ruim, maar van die kombuisware kan opgeknap word.

Pros and cons with our stay.

The houses, layouts, facilities etc. were very good and provide over and above what one needs for a holiday. We were 15 friends and booked 4 houses for 2 nights and the accommodation, location and views were tremendous. We all felt, however, that the units are a bit tired and in need of a good touch up in terms of maintenance, general upkeep and a lot of cleaning! Whilst clean bedding and linen is supplied, the general state of baths, floors, cupboards, crockery, counter tops, cooking utensils, trays, boards and so on, is in great need of a spring clean and, in some cases, replacement. We appreciate that times have been tough with Covid, but cleanliness is paramount.

I would recommend Aloe Ridge yes, its just the spiders and the scorpions freaked me out a bit. It would have been nice to have been given a heads up about it. We found 1 scorpion by the swimming pool and another by the bath, and 3 very evil looking huge spiders. The ants were also ridiculous. We still enjoyed our stay, we loved the view and the peacefulness.

Uitsig oor rivier en natuur was asemrowend.

Rigting-aanwysings was goed en daar was 'n vriendelike ontvangs. Die wooneenheid was netjies en baie ruim. Die uitsig oor die rivier en die natuur rondom was asemrowend. Die gekabbel van die water het die gemoed kalmeer. Sal wel voorstel dat die hoof slaapkamer se matras vervang word en 'n skêr by die eetgerei ingesluit word.

Wat ‘n goudstuk!

Die plek is geleë op ‘n ongelooflike plek, jy kyk uit oor die Breede Rivier omtrent uit alle vensters. Baie ontspannend en perfekte wegbreek. Sal aanbeveel om eerder nie met ‘n kar te gaan nie, die laaste stuk soos jy by Aloe Ridge is, is baie sleg. Andersins wens ek ons kon elke week daarheen gaan!

What a gold piece!

The place is located in an incredible place, you look out over the Breede River from almost all windows. Very relaxing and perfect getaway. Would recommend not to go with a car, the last stretch as you are at Aloe Ridge is very bad. Otherwise I wish we could go there every week!

Baie mooi omgewing, baie goeie geriewe.

Ruim, goeie geriewe. Negatiewe in ons geval: Broodrooster wat nie werk nie. Braairooster wat beter dae geken het.

Rustig en ontspanne met 'n pragtige uitsig oor die rivier.

Ons het heerlik gekuier by Aloe Ridge. Drakenberg was so te sê perfek met die lieflike kaggel, braai en swembad op die dek. Die en suite badkamers is stylvol gedoen. Al nadeel was dat een van die kamers se badkamer se water net vir 'n paar minute warm was en dan word dit yskoud. So ons moes toe ons en suite idee laat vaar en 'n badkamer deel met ons vriende.

Quiet and relaxing with a beautiful view of the river.

We had a great time at Aloe Ridge. Drakenberg was so to speak perfect with the lovely fireplace, braai and pool on the deck. The en suite bathrooms are stylishly done. Only downside was that one of the rooms' bathroom's water was only hot for a few minutes and then it became freezing cold. So we then had to abandon our en suite idea and share a bathroom with our friends.

Great wegbreek van die stadsgewoel, maar met alle luukshede wat jy kan begeer.

Die plek is regtig baie smaakvol en luuks, met alles wat jy sou kon begeer vir 'n lekker, luukse wegbreek van die stadsgewoel. Die laaste entjie na die ontvangs is die pad egter baie sleg en ek sou dit nie aanbeveel vir 'n gewone sedanmotor, wat nie hoë grondvryhoogte het nie. Die enigste negatiewe kommentaar wat ek sou kon lewer, is dat die gas ongelukkig opgeraak het die aand, na die afsnytyd vir oproepe na die onderhoudspersoneel en ons dus die aand en volgende oggend nie die stoof kon gebruik of warm water gehad het vir stort/bad nie. Mens sou verwag dat die instandhoudingspersoneel die gasvlak sou kontroleer voordat nuwe mense inkom in die eenheid.

Great getaway from the city hustle and bustle but with all the luxuries you could desire.

The place is really tasteful and luxurious, with everything you could want for a nice, luxurious getaway from the hustle and bustle. The last stretch on your way to reception, however, the road is very bad and I would not recommend it for a regular sedan, which does not have high ground clearance. The only negative comment I could make is that the gas ran out the night after the cut-off time for calling the maintenance staff so we couldn't use the stove or hot water for the shower the next night and next morning.

Die ligging van die huise is onverbeterlik en die swembad definitief 'n groot pluspunt.

Dankie vir 'n heerlike asem skep naweek in die natuur weg van die stad se woel en werskaf. Die huis is regtig goed ingerig met alle huishoudelike toestelle wat 'n mens nodig het vir 'n lekker wegbreek en die private swembadjie is natuurlik 'n groot pluspunt. Chané se vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid vanaf sy ons welkom geheet het tot ons vertrek was ook voortreflik. Let net wel soos ook in die advertensie genoem dat die laaste kilometer of wat se grondpad nie geskik is vir 'n motor met 'n baie lae grondvryhoogte nie, alhoewel ek met 'n Toyota Avanza geen probleme ervaar het nie.

The location of the houses is unbeatable and the swimming pool definitely a big plus.

Thank you for a wonderful breath-taking weekend in nature away from the city's hustle and bustle. The house is really well equipped with all household appliances that one needs for a nice break and the private pool is of course a big plus. Chané's friendliness and helpfulness from the time she welcomed us to our departure was also excellent. Just note, as mentioned in the ad, that the last kilometer or so of dirt road is not suitable for a car with very low ground clearance, although I experienced no problems with a Toyota Avanza.

Rustig en baie mooi met genoeg hout vir lekker braai!

Dankie vir al die hout wat deel is van die bespreking. Diens was uitstekend, Cherne het ons baie mooi gehelp en die huis is bitter mooi, luuks en gerieflik. Die ys in die vrieskas is ook 'n bonus. Hier kon ons afskakel en ontspan. Lekker staproetes langs die rivier as 'n mens moeg gerus is. Die grondpad moet 'n mens maar stadig aanvat met 'n gewone lae motor, maar dis die moeite werd!

Quiet and very beautiful with enough wood for a nice barbecue!

Thanks for all the wood that is part of the discussion. Service was excellent, Cherne helped us very well and the house is extremely beautiful, luxurious and comfortable. The ice in the freezer is also a bonus. Here we could switch off and relax. Nice walking trails along the river if you are tired and rested. You have to take the dirt road slowly with a normal low car, but it's worth it!

Fantasties!

Aloe Ridge is alles en meer as wat jy sien en lees .Die ligging is asemrowend mooi. Ons het in Everest huis gebly, alles was perfek. Sal Aloe Ridge enige tyd aanbeveel vir mense wat wil ontspan en familie of vriende tyd geniet, lekker braai en die natuur se stilte geniet. Kamers is baie gerieflik en skoon en die kombuis/ of eefarea het alles en meer as mens nodig het.

Rooms are convenient and clean, and the kitchen or living room is equipped with everything you may need.

'n Plek waar jy waarlik kan wegbreek en net ontspan.

Pragtige uitsig van heuwels en rivier. Net hartseer dat rivier se watervlakke laag is. Swembad, binne en buite huis is skoon. Alhoewel daar een kraan is wat 'n filter het om water te suiwer om te drink, adviseer ons nogsteeds om eie drinkwater te bring. Ry ook net stadig met jou voertuig. Verder kan ons nie negatief praat van Aloe Ridge want dit was baie lekker! Dankie!

A place where you can really break away and just relax.

Stunning view of the hills and the river. Just sad that the water level is so low. Swimming pool, inside and outside the house all clean. Although there was one tap with a filter to purify water for drinking, we recommend that you bring your own drinking water too. Drive slowly with your vehicle. We can't say anything else negative about Aloe Ridge, because it was great! Thanks!

Ek sal Aleo Ridge ten sterkste aanbeveel. Dis in 'n pragtige omgewing, die diens was uitstekend en die personeel baie gasvry. Wat ek wel sal voorstel is dat gaste ten alle tye hulle eie drinkwater saamneem.

Rustig.

Dit was buite seisoen en ons het 'n laer tarief betaal. Mal oor die huise, baie gerieflik, maar ek sou graag wil hê daar moet meer aandag geskenk word aan die eetgerei (kyk dat dit skoon is) - vorige gaste los nie altyd alles skoon nie. Braairoosters was opgeroes en onbruikbaar (kan meer aandag geniet) en ook ons hoofslaapkamer se gas-geyser wou nie behoorlik werk nie - het die idee gekry dat die dame weet van al die foute, maar dit gesê dit was baie, baie lekker, baie gerieflik - mal oor die swembad by elke huis. Besoek gerus Aloe Ridge.

Tranquil.

It was out of season and we paid lower rates. Love the houses, but the cutlery needs some attention (make sure it is clean) - previous guests don't always do the dishes properly. Braai grills were rusty, we couldn't use them (needs attention) and the gas geyser in the main bedroom doesn't function properly - got the idea that the lady knew about all of this. That said, we had a very nice time, very comfortable, lovely pool at each house. Pay Aloe Ridge as visit.

Die omgewing is asemrowend. Die huisie self was baie goed toegerus en luuks. Ek kan aan niks dink wat ontbreek het nie. Die diens van die personeel was uitstekend. Ek beplan om definitief terug te kom hierheen en baie vriende saam te bring.
