Wow.

I'm definitely saving this one on Google Maps. Farmstay. Beautiful mountain views. Everything you need. Close to Swellendam. Don't look for (Die Skaapkraal) when navigating. Die Skaapkraal is actually just the name on the cottage on the farm. A little confusing but the provided pin location did take us almost to the front door.

Heerlik, 'n belewenis!

Dit was 'n belewenis om die pragtige berg, wit ooievaars en ander voëls te sien, die koeie ook baie mooi met hulle sagte oë, wimpers en swart neuse! Ook die hitte as ons vuur maak in die oop haard wanneer dit koud is buite! Ons het baie lekker gebly!

Baie mooi, skoon en netjiese verblyf.

Ons het dit baie geniet. Dit is baie mooi, skoon en netjiese verblyf. Sal enige tyd weer daar kom oorbly. Wanneer dit beurtkrag is, kan mens nie stort nie, omdat die pompie wat met elektrisiteit werk vir die drukking van die water, dan nie werk nie. Dit is al wat 'n probleem was. Die kombuis het ook alles in wat mens nodig het. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike verblyf!

We enjoyed it very much. It is very nice, clean and tidy accommodation. Will stay there again anytime. When it is load shedding, one cannot take a shower, because the pump that works with electricity to pressurize the water does not work. That's all that was a problem. The kitchen also has everything you need. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!

Pragtige ligging, landskap uitsig en privaatheid.

Beslis 'n goeie opsie om te ontspan en die omgewing te verken. Die huisie is goed toegerus alhoewel daar 'n paar goed is wat onderhoud nodig het (ligte en stukkende botteloopmakers). Die plaas is uitstekend geleë naby Swellendam en op die hoofweg na ander dorpe in die gebied. Die uitsig vanaf die stoep en privaatheid is groot pluspunte.

Beautiful location, landscape view and privacy.

Definitely a good option to relax and explore the surroundings. The cottage is well equipped although there are a few things that need maintenance (lights and broken bottle openers). The farm is excellently located near Swellendam and on the main road to other towns in the area. The view from the porch and privacy are big pluses.

By Appelsbosch vind 'n mens sielsvrede!

Appelsbosch Farm Cottage is 'n verskriklike mooi plek. Die Melkstal is heerlik groot met genoeg plek vir 'n hele gesin (ons beplan om ons kinders saam te neem in die somer!). Dit is net 'n paar kilometer se ry na al die plekkies wat ons wou besoek. Dit is so stil en rustig op die plaas met die mooiste sonsopkomste en ons het goed uitgerus. Ons het gebruik gemaak van die binnebraai en die WiFi en Neflix was 'n bonus! Ons sal definitief weer Appelsbosch Guest Farm besoek.

At Appelsbosch one finds peace of mind!

Appelsbosch Farm Cottage is a hauntingly beautiful place. The Melkstal is wonderfully large with enough space for a whole family (we plan to take our children with us in the summer!). It is only a few kilometers drive to all the places we wanted to visit. It is so quiet and peaceful on the farm with the most beautiful sunrises and we rested well. We made use of the indoor braai and the WiFi and Neflix were a bonus! We will definitely visit Appelsbosch Guest Farm again.

Die akkommodasie is basies maar stylvol. Ligging op 'n werkende melkplaas met fantastiese uitsigte op die Swellendamberge. Lekker stoepie en gerieflike meubels, binne vuurmaakplek ens. Lekker plek vir kinders met fietse en grasperke met baie speelplek.

Gerieflik, netjies en skoon!

Ons het heerlik gebly, maar die Saterdagaand toe ons wou gaan stort was daar nie 'n druppel water nie. Die mans het probeer om by die tenk te kyk wat die probleem is maar kon niks regkry. Ons het maar net so afgevee en gaan slaap en gehoop dit is reg die volgende oggend maar steeds was daar geen druppel water nie. Na rukkie het dit gelyk of die koue water darem flouerig deurkom maar nie 'n druppel warm water nie. Hulle sal vir seker vir toekomstige gaste moet laat kyk na die water - dit is baie ongerieflik gewees. Gelukkig het ons net een aand gebly en het die mans die Sondag gaan swem by my oom-hulle. Andersins was die verblyf heel lekker, skoon en netjies. Ons moes egter Sondag die skottelgoed so los weens die feit dat daar geen water was nie - Jammer!

Comfortable, neat and clean!

We had a wonderful stay, but on Saturday night when we wanted to take a shower there was not a drop of water. The men tried to look at the tank to see what the problem was but could not find anything. We just wiped it off and went to sleep hoping it would be fine the next morning but still there was no drop of water. After a while it seemed that the cold water came through at least faintly but not a drop of hot water. They will have to have future guests look at the water for sure - it was very inconvenient. Luckily we only stayed one night and the men went swimming with my uncle on Sunday. Otherwise, the stay was very nice, clean and tidy. However, we had to leave the dishes like that on Sunday due to the fact that there was no water - Sorry!

Heerlike verblyf op 'n rustige netjiese, skoon plaasatmosfeer! Verwelkomingsbroodjie met plaasbotter en konfyt was heerlik. Eenheid baie goed toegerus, kan te enige tyd aanbeveel!

Baie netjies en skoon met mooi, vars linne.

Ons was 'n familie van 10 en het lekker gerieflik almal saam gebly. Die grondpad was nie sleg nie, net baie klipperig en nie regtig bedoel vir 'n klein/luukse motor nie.

Ongelooflike mooi omgewing en die blyplek was baie spesiaal.

Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet en dit is regtig 'n sprokie mooi omgewing. Ek dink nie die kombuis is heeltemal voldoende vir selfsorg nie, maar dit was heeltemal voldoende vir 2 mense vir 'n paar nagte. Die kamers is baie netjies en dit is naby genoeg aan die dorp. Sal dit verseker aanbeveel vir ander.

Unbelievably beautiful surroundings and the place to stay was very special.

We really enjoyed our stay and it really is a fairytale beautiful setting. I don't think the kitchen is quite adequate for self catering, but it was quite adequate for 2 people for a couple of nights. The rooms are very neat and it is close enough to the town. Will definitely recommend it to others.

'n Plesier!

Dit was werklik aangenaam. Die ontvangs was hartlik, die verblyf was netjies en goed toegerus, die uitsig is lieflik, die stap in die veld teenaan die berg is werklik iets besonders. Die koeie en melkery was 'n groot bron van fassinasie, veral vir die kinders. Die kuiers om die kombuistafel langs die ingeboude braai was onvergeetlik. Sal Appelsbosch beslis aanbeveel.

A pleasure!

It was really pleasant. The reception was warm, the accommodation was neat and well equipped, the view is lovely, the walk in the field towards the mountain is truly something special. The cows and dairy were a great source of fascination, especially for the children. The visits around the kitchen table next to the built-in braai were unforgettable. Would definitely recommend Appelsbosch.

Pragtige plekkie.

Appelsbosch is a versteekte juweel. Die plekkie het 'n egte plaasgevoel - die reuk, die ligging en die klanke. Die plekkie het ons verwagtinge oorskry. Met aankoms het ons ook 'n tuisgebakte plaasbroodjie ontvang, toegedraai in 'n doek en 'n mandjie geplaas met konfyt. Die hele ondervinding was so besonders en spesiaal. Presies wat ons nodig gehad het. Ek sal die plekkie beslis aanbeveel en weer daar gaan kuier.

Appelsbosch is a hidden gem. The place has a real farm feel - the smell, the location and the sounds. The place exceeded our expectations. On arrival we also received a home-baked farm sandwich, wrapped in a cloth and placed in a basket with jam. The whole experience was so unique and special. Exactly what we needed. I would definitely recommend the place and visit again.

Net wat die dokter voorgeskryf het!

Watter heerlike ervaring, toe ons arriveer kom die gasvrou daar aan met varsgebakte brood en konfyt; die ontvangs is regtig hartlik en warm; dis 'n werkende plaas, so hulle is altyd daar en byderhand as die gaste iets nodig het. Ek en Lynelle (Meiring) het dit regtig geniet; ons moes wegkom van ons onderskeie areas net om weer asem te haal en te herlaai vir die week wat voor was. Die omgewing is so mooi soos 'n prentjie, die kothuis is ten volle toegerus, netjies, skoon, keurig gemeubuleer; ek kan regtig die plekkie aanbeveel; ek het terloops al 'n ander vriendin verwys; hoop sy kom daar uit! Doen so voort Carina en JJ; julle het 'n wenresep beet; volgende keer bly ons langer en vang 'n vissie in die dam.

Lynelle (Meiring) and I really enjoyed it; we needed to get away from our respective areas just to catch our breath and recharge for the week ahead. The surroundings are as beautiful as a picture, the cottage is fully equipped, neat, clean, nicely furnished; I can really recommend the place; I already referred another friend by the way; hope she gets out of there! Keep it up Carina and JJ; you have a winning recipe; next time we stay longer and catch a fish in the pond.
