Rest, peace and beautiful views!
We had a fantastic and peaceful stay at Amohela ho Spitskop Country Retreat & Conservancy. We were a family of 6 with 2 dogs and stayed in Mongoose. The unit was neat, spacious, well equipped and private. There are nice walking and cycling routes on the farm and the dogs really enjoyed the open spaces. There is little to no mobile phone reception at the units. The stretch of tarmac road from Marquard (R708) to the farm's turnoff (about 10 km) is full of potholes and then there is about 18 km of dirt road. We really enjoyed the weekend.

Good Day Pierre,
I have gone through our website from beginning to end and cannot find where breakfast is offered - I see on the website breakfast on request is offered in only the garden bedrooms Cornwallis and Nguni- these do not have self-catering facilities. If you can indicate where this is offered, so that we can correct this straight away so as not to cause confusion for any other guests, and apologies to you for any confusion.
Staff were out cleaning cottages every day over the weekend you were here - our hugest apologies if you did want cleaners - they were certainly available to any of the cottages who requested cleaning.
We certainly hope all else was to your satisfaction - we do our very best to be sure guests to Amohela ho Spitskop have the best time and experience.
Regards
Allen Jennifer & Staff.

Francolin is a beautiful well equipped place (just bring your own corkscrew!). Large room consisting of kitchen, sitting area, sleeping area and bathroom area with lovely claw foot bath and large shower (toilet is separate). Quiet, no city noise and private. The dusk walk up the hill with ancient stone steps for a beautiful view was lovely. Grilling under the open sky full of stars is a privilege! The house was just bitterly hot (it was February) but we immediately opened everything and by bedtime it had cooled down. Take mosquito repellant with you and enjoy nature!

Very quiet, nice view.
I always look at photos first and what impressed me about the photos on the site was the lovely outdoor patio with furniture, in front of each room, even in the garden! We stayed in Guinea Fowl but when we arrived there was only a table on the porch in front of the living area. When I inquired about this I was informed that the furniture in the photos was indeed spread around the house, and had been taken out to take the photos. This means that if you want to sit outside in front of your own room you have to move the furniture out first! However, all the furniture was not even in the house, but the hostess did provide it the next day. I mention this for future visitors who, like me, expect to get what you see on the photos of the accommodation.

I would like to reply in English if I may, to answer Eloise and apologies if you were in any way inconvenienced, maybe an explanation will suffice.
To photograph cottages one does move furniture around to suit, some white wicker chairs from each bedroom as well as the coffee table, table and chairs that do stay on the verandah were used to take verandah pictures. The chairs are lightweight and can be moved anywhere on the verandah to suit. The missing furniture, one wicker bedroom chair taken for cleaning was returned to the cottage. We do thank you for noting this though, and will clearly think more "out the box" for future photographing.

Very neat and peaceful farmhouses with wonderful nature scenes and also stars in the evening. Not too far from nearest towns Clocolan and Ficksburg.

I really enjoyed my stay, and slept so well. The bed, bedding and pillows are so soft and comfortable. The man who received us was very friendly and made us feel right at home. Unfortunately, the dirt road to there is quite long and not very nice, not made for a small car like mine. Maybe something to consider for the future, is a small bar fridge in the room, to keep one's food and water cool? And maybe a fan, the room can get quite warm. But I had a really nice stay.

It was incredible.
An incredible experience from the Eastern Free State. The houses were very neat and clean. Cottages are far enough apart so we had nice privacy. The surroundings are breathtaking and incredible views of the Malutis. No TV and very little cell phone reception but that's exactly why we chose the place. Will go back again for sure. Jenny and Allan had also been very friendly and hospitable.

Remote luxury.
If anyone wants to know how a guesthouse should be run, go here. We travel a lot and stay in many guesthouses - Allen and Jennifer's system works like a clock. Everything works. Everything is in place, even when Allen arrives in his bakkie to take you to your place. We stayed in Porcupine Cottage. Lovely. King size bed with views of the mountains and hills from every room. And one can actually sit on the comfortable living room furniture and deck chairs, and not on pull-out couches or old patio furniture. We sat on the veranda until dark. It's quiet until you hear the sounds of the owls later. Keep it up Jennifer and Allen - you have it under your thumb! A big tick in our favourites box! N.S .: The dirt road may be a bit rough, but okay even for a flat car. Remember, it's a farm road and leads to tranquillity. Just blow your tires down to 1.5 bar and drive slowly. Call beforehand and ask Allen which is the best road from your area, because there are 3 options. We were stupid and drove unnecessarily far.

Hi Andre en Petro, Groot dankie vir die mooi woorde, ons is regtig bly julle het die geniet, we work hard at making things the best we can, and its wonderful to get such lovely feedback. That extended veranda at Porcupine is amazing, and we love the bit about the owls, they are much treasured here at Amohela and eat many rats mice and gerbils, no poisons used or needed at this Conservancy. Look forward to the next visit. Allen Jen and Staff.

Quiet and tidy.
The cottages are very neat and fully equipped, here and there there may be small parts where there could be more focus on cleaning (light switches, shower) and then the sofas were a bit dirty, but it was mostly clean. The roads are also just bad and I wouldn't recommend tackling it with a car (4x4 is ideal). It is ideal if you want to get away from city life (the signal is also bad), which is not a negative thing, the most beautiful view of the Maluti mountains. The cottage has a beautiful fireplace that creates a lovely atmosphere and helps with the cold of the Eastern Free State. I would definitely recommend Amohela and would stay there again if I ever get the chance again.

Good accommodation, but the road to get there is a thriller.
The house is fantastic and neat and clean and it's absolutely in the middle of nowhere. There is also no cell phone signal all the time, so don't think anyone can get in touch with you. The signal drops out as in "No Service". The dirt road is unbelievably bad and if you don't drive a big pickup, you shouldn't try it. Your car is going to crash and you're going to have flat tires. If you are a mosquito lover, this is the place to go to catch them. There are thousands. Maybe there are also friends of the pigeons who want to catch them for pets, because they ring all night long on the house's tin roof. Sounds like war.

Hi Dawie, it is always sad if guests have some problems when they come to Amohela.
We do have free Wi-Fi at the reception area, especially as we have patchy reception, available from 08:00 to 19:00.
We have had the highest rainfall for the month of March since 1948 in this area, and unfortunately our roads have taken a hiding, and cannot be graded when it's so wet. Same for the mosquito's. We do spray for the mosquito's but it has to stop raining for us to spray and the rain has been relentless. There is a little plug-in mosquito repellent machine in every cottage for the mosquito's, and all the beds have nets. We suggest to guests that they bring mosquito repellent, we do try but sometimes nature gets the better of us. Come and visit in July, the roads will have been graded, if there is anything coming from the sky its likely to be snow, and the mosquito's will have disappeared. Regards, the team at Amohela.

The cottage was not cleaned to our normal standard and we apologized for any inconvenience to guests. We did ask the guests if they would like a refund, but that we would prefer to rectify the problem and have happy visitors, which they agreed to. We went above and beyond to rectify, and the cottage was spotless and clean and shining and smelling of sunshine when we were complete, and guests thanked us and said they were very happy with the result and a full refund of 1 day was made to the guests.

We never experienced this level of comfort before, absolutely everything you need for a getaway is provided in the unit. Hotel standard. Beautiful furniture and soft down linen. Even though the area is peaceful and beautiful it is not close to any beautiful towns. But if you're looking for luxury, look no further.

Very peaceful.
It was nice to breathe in the fresh air. The place was clean and neat on arrival. The house has everything you expect from a self-catering unit. We were welcomed by the owner and he was nice enough to show us the cycling and hiking routes around the property. The house unfortunately fronts east, so the sun gets you out of bed quite early and it's better to go for drives during the hottest times of the day. As soon as night falls, it is absolutely stunning to look at the stars while you socialize by the boma. It would be great to have a few suggestions on activities in the house. Maybe 4x4 routes? Restaurants? Seeing as I have children, maybe a farm with animals to keep the young ones entertained. Apart from that I will definitely recommend it.
