Opregte boere gasheer, alles was perfek!

Baie lekker gebly, soveel so dat ons 'n ekstra nag gebly het. Die huisie, braai, verhitte bad was puik, maar die natuurskoon is van die beste in die land.

Very nice stay, so much so that we stayed an extra night. The cottage, barbecue, heated bath were great, but the scenery is some of the best in the country.

Ontspannend, stil en netjies.

Die eienaars het uit hul pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel. Daar is 'n kampie voor huis gespan om ons hondjie binne te hou. Ek het selfs malva poeding en balonne vir my verjaarsdag gekry. Ons dogtertjie het die skape, ponies, kayaking en visvang baie geniet. Sal vir seker weer gaan!

Relaxing, quiet and tidy.

The owners went out of their way to make us feel at home. There is a camp set up in front of the house to keep our puppy inside. I even got marshmallow pudding and balloons for my birthday. Our little girl really enjoyed the sheep, ponies, kayaking and fishing. Will go again for sure!

N Ongelooflike plekkie, ons kom definitief terug hiernatoe een van die dae.

Wat 'n heerlike naweek. Net die regte plekkie vir 'n naweek se wegbreek. Die huis is netjies en alles wat jy nodig het, is klaar daar. Die uitsig is ongelooflik mooi, die hot tub was heerlik ontspannend. Gasvryheid gee ek 100%, het moeite gedoen om te sorg dat ons gerieflik was en soveel ekstra moeite gedoen om die naweek lekker te maak.

What a lovely weekend. Just the right place for a weekend getaway. The house is tidy and everything you need is already there. The view is incredibly beautiful, the hot tub was wonderfully relaxing. I give hospitality 100%, made an effort to make sure we were comfortable and made so much extra effort to make the weekend enjoyable.

Uitsonderlike verblyf.

Ons was in die koudste en natste week van die Julie by Besi si Nesi maar het wonderlik gekuier met die gasheer en gasvrou wat werklik uitsonderlike moeite doen. Die kombuis is uitsonderlik toegerus met alles wat jy enigsins mag nodig kry. Die kamers het verwarmers wat reeds gebrand het toe ons daar aankom. Die gasheer en gasvrou het baie moeite gedoen om seker te maak ons is beskerm teen die nat en koue en gereeld kom vra of alles nog reg is. Ons sal graag in warmer weer wil gaan kuier omdat die omgewing so pragtig is.

Exceptional stay.

We were at Besi si Nesi in the coldest and wettest week of the July but had a wonderful time with the host and hostess who really make an exceptional effort. The kitchen is exceptionally equipped with everything you could possibly need. The rooms have heaters that were already burning when we got there. The host and hostess went to great lengths to make sure we were protected from the wet and cold and often came to ask if everything was still okay. We would love to visit in warmer weather because the surroundings are so beautiful.

Relaxed bliss.

Our stay was nothing short of exceptional. We had the most relaxing time with the most accommodating hosts. From the unspoilt views and privacy, to the hot tub and fire pit, we were pleasantly surprised with how beautiful and well-equipped Besi se Nesi is. We are already booked to return (even more nights this time)! Highly recommended!

Excellent hosts, peaceful, beautiful views.

My wife, daughter and I stayed for seven days over New Year with our dogs. Amazing place! Private, safe, pet friendly, and beautiful nature. The view over the dam, mountains and valley is stunning. At night, stars are bright, no light pollution. Peaceful, yet there is always something to do like swimming or rowing in the dam. Town is 10 km away. The hosts are excellent and helpful. They attended to our needs promptly and even took time out of their busy day to take us on a challenging hike to a beautiful waterfall with our dogs. Great fun was had by all. Facilities are clean and braai area is great with wood provided. The grass terraces are beautiful and immaculately maintained. I even saw two otters playing on the slipway on our last night which was very special. Best value for money I have experienced in a long time.

Pragtige verblyf, moet net asb. beddens vervang.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, die uitsigte was wonderlik en die huisie het meestal alles gehad wat nodig is. Ons grootste probleem was dat die beddens regtig nie goed is nie, beide ek en my maat het baie gesukkel om te slaap en het rugpyn gehad na die tydjie daar, wat 'n jammerte is.

Heerlike rustige wegbreek.

Die lang naweek het die stilte en herlaai gegee waarvoor ons gehoop het. Die spasie was heerlik en baie geniet om in die dam te swem. Ons honde het die spasie net so baie geniet. Die huisie het alles gehad wat nodig is vir die naweek. Die eienaars is vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Rustig - presies wat ons nodig gehad het.

Ons is vooraf deur die gasheer gekontak en het presies geweet hoe om tot by die perseel te kom. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en tydens ons verblyf was hulle beskikbaar met inligting oor dinge om te doen in die omgewing. Die verblyf is volledig toegerus en selfs hout en vuuraanstekers word voorsien. Alles was baie skoon en netjies, selfs kunstig. Ons het die uitsig oor die dam en die rustige omgewing ten volle geniet en binne 'n dag begin ontspan. Beslis 'n besoek werd.

Quiet - exactly what we needed.

We were contacted in advance by the host and knew exactly how to get to the premises. We were received kindly and during our stay they were available with information about things to do in the area. The accommodation is fully equipped and even wood and fire lighters are provided. Everything was very clean and tidy, even artistic. We fully enjoyed the view of the dam and the peaceful surroundings and started to relax within a day. Definitely worth a visit.

Peaceful scenic setting.

Besi si Nesi is a lovely cottage hidden out of main routes. Surprisingly beautiful setting overseeing a large dam. Peaceful and safe. The cottage is comfortable with everything you need for a restful holiday. Close to Swellendam town and to Bontebok Nature Reserve.
