A "lekker" overnight spot for us.

We had a very pleasant stay. Arrived late afternoon and tired from the day's activities. The hostess was very pleasant and had our supper waiting for us. The rooms are neat and tidy and quite comfortable.

Dit was lekker.

Ons is baie goed behandel deur die gasheer en gasvrou. Die area is baie mooi en die blyplek was skoon en smaaklik gemeubileer. Hulle het ook baie kersies (cherries) en kersie produkte.

Baie mooi kampplekke met genoeg geriewe en pragtige berg- en staproetes.

Boomryk, privaat, gelyk en grasbedekte staanplekke met groot en kleiner braaigeriewe. Heerlike warme stort, opwas- en ablusiegeriewe naby. Kersieboorde in bloei is iets om te aanskou! Die staproete bergop en weer anderkant af is vol verrassings soos uitsig na alle kante toe, boesmantekeninge, rotsskeure, "bobbejaankettings" en inligtingbordjies by baie van die inheemse bome en plante. Die roete is uitstekend uitgemerk en maklik om te volg. Ons het 'n heerlike naweek daar spandeer.

Very nice campsites with enough facilities and beautiful mountain and hiking trails.

Tree-rich, private, level and grass-covered pitches with large and smaller braai facilities. Lovely hot shower, washing up and ablution facilities nearby. Cherry orchards in bloom are something to behold! The hiking trail up the mountain and back down the other side is full of surprises such as views in all directions, bushman drawings, rock crevices, "baboon chains" and information boards near many of the native trees and plants. The route is well marked and easy to follow. We spent a lovely weekend there.

Ons het ons verblyf vand drie dae baie geniet. Baie mooi omgewing. Vriendelike gasvrou, netjiese skoon blyplekkies. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Ons het laat arriveer maar is nog steeds vriendelik ontvang. Die chalets was skoon en netjies gevind. Die ontbyt die volgende paar dae was baie aangenaam en meer as genoeg. Ons het die voorreg gehad om die verpakking van die kersies te besigtig. Die omgewing en die tuin is baie mooi met die berg as agtergrond. Baie dankie aan Carina vir 'n aangename verblyf.

We arrived late but were still warmly received. The chalets were found clean and tidy. The breakfast the next few days was very pleasant and more than enough. We had the privilege of viewing the packaging of the cherries. The surroundings and the garden are very beautiful with the mountain as a background. Many thanks to Carina for a pleasant stay.

Die verblyf en gasvryheid was puik.

Alles was baie netjies en skoon en ons is baie gasvry ontvang. Carina is 'n gasvrou duisend en het spesiaal vir my gestremde seun krummelpap gemaak toe sy hoor dat hy baie daarvan hou. Ons het lekker gekuier, en het baie geleer by die oom oor wynmaak in sy wynkelder. As jy in daardie rigting gaan, gaan soek die mense op jy gaan nie spyt wees nie, dis nou regte plaas gasvryheid.

The accommodation and hospitality were great.

Everything was very neat and clean and we were received very hospitably. Carina is a wonderful hostess and made crumbed porridge especially for my disabled son when she heard that he liked it very much. We had a great time, and learned a lot from the uncle about winemaking in his wine cellar. If you go in that direction, go find the people you won't regret it, it's real farm hospitality.

Convenient half way between Durban and PE via Golden Gate.

The 4 kms along a corrugated dirt road was worth the effort after arriving at a beautiful and serene place, welcomed by Corinne. Had the website been clearer I would have hired the cottage with braai area attached to it for three persons and put two of the children in the main house. But as it turns out, the braai facility was made available to us, even though all stayed in the big house.

Baie netjiese en lekker rustige blyplek.

Heerlik gebly, net jammer ons tydjie daar was hopeloos te kort. Carina het alles in haar vermoë gedoen om ons tuis te laat voel. Het selfs die winkel spesiaal Sondagoggend oopgesluit sodat ons van die kersie produkte kon proe. Sal baie graag daar wil bly vir langer sodat ons die voetpad to bo op die berg kan gaan stap en na die rotstekenings kan gaan kyk. Kan dit baie beslis aanbeveel. Die blyplek is netjies en skoon en uitstekende waarde vir geld.

Had a wonderful stay, just a pity our time there was hopelessly too short. Carina did everything in her power to make us feel at home. Even opened the shop specially on Sunday morning so we could taste some of the cherry products. Would really like to stay there for longer so we can walk the footpath to the top of the mountain and look at the petroglyphs. Can definitely recommend it. The accommodation is neat and clean and excellent value for money.

Dit was baie lekker en rustig.

Alles wat ons wou gehad het is daar, was in groep van 8 mense en alleen op die kamparea so niemand is gepla nie. Dis lekker dat die plek so klein is dan is daar nie te veel mense op die oord nie. Die eienaar het vir ons die Sondagoggend voor ons gery het die kafeteria oopgemaak sodat ons van die produkte kon koop om saam te neem wat ons baie waardeer. Water was ten alle tye warm in die stort/wasarea. Die swembad het ons almal baie geniet in die hitte, lekker groot/skoon.

Everything we wanted was there, were a group of 8 people and alone in the camping area, so we weren't bothered by anyone. It's nice that the place is so small and that there aren't too many people in the resort. The owners opened the cafeteria for us on the Sunday morning before we left so we could buy some products, we appreciated that a lot. Water was warm at all times in the shower area. The swimming pool is very nice in the heat, big and clean.

Lekker stil en rustig.

Ons wou tent opslaan om te oornag, maar het dit toe gelos en agterin ons bakkie geslaap omdat daar `n jong Retriever (as ek dit reg het) hond rond was. Ons was bang die hond sou teen die tent opspring met sy pote en skade aanrig - dalk onnodig versigtig, want ons kon seker maar die eienaar gevra het om die hond vas te maak. Die tentstaanplekke was lekker gelyk en groot genoeg - ons het `n enkelkajuit-bakkie en sleepwaentjie gehad. Die ablusie netjies en skoon en die water warm. Daar was nie ander kampeerders nie, dus was die fasiliteite alles ons s'n met elektriese ligte en braaiplek (neem jou eie rooster en hout saam). Daar is wel 'n entjie grondpad om daar te kom, maar nie 'n probleem nie.

Nice quiet and peaceful.

We wanted to pitch a tent to spend the night, but then left it and slept in the back of our van because there was a young Retriever (if I have it right) dog around. We were afraid the dog would jump up against the tent with its paws and cause damage - perhaps unnecessarily careful, because we could probably have asked the owner to tie the dog down. The tent pitches were nice and level and big enough - we had a single cab van and trailer. The ablution neat and clean and the water warm. There were no other campers, so the facilities were all ours with electric lights and barbecue (bring your own grill and wood). There is a bit of dirt road to get there, but not a problem.
