Lekke mense, 'n lekker plek weg van alles.

Baie lekker gebly langs die rivier. Dat die rivier geloop het, was 'n bonus. Uitstekend vir voëlkyk - sou langer wou bly, sal nog eendag weer.

Nice people, a nice place away from it all.

Very nice stay by the river. That the river was running was a bonus. Excellent for bird watching - would have liked to stay longer, will do again one day.

Not for me.

Not what the accommodation booking and pictures pretend to be. "Lodge" in the name is misleading, which is actually a hunting lodge. Not what you expect when you book travel accommodation on Lekkerslaap. There was an empty soda bottle on the bed, which does not indicate proper cleaning. . Kettle in room - no plug in kitchen. Sickly old cats who keep staring at you for food; so are the dogs that are right there. Place needs a braai tong and/or crab stick.

Met motorfietsmaats na Nieu-Bethesda en onderweg terug by Bhejane oornag.

Website-beelde en realiteit klop nie. 3 persone in tent by rivier en 1 in huisie daarnaas. Tent baie basies en byna soos destyds in die weermag. Huisie nie eers 'n glas of koffiefasiliteite nie. Ook geen stoel om binne of op klein stoep te sit nie. Oppervlakkige lodge-tipe detail soos horings teen die buitemuur, maar in ons geval 'n wanvoorstelling. Ook geen wild te sien of aanbod om te sien nie. Behalwe vir heerlike vleis en slaai verskaf deur eienaars 'n teleurstellende ondervinding.

With motorbike buddies to Nieu-Bethesda and on the way back at Bhejane overnight.

Website images and reality do not match. 3 persons in tent by river and 1 in cottage next to it. Tent very basic and almost like back then in the army. Cottage not even a glass or coffee facilities. Also no chair to sit inside or on small porch. Superficial lodge-type detail such as horns on the outer wall, but in our case a misrepresentation. Also no wildlife to see or offer to see. Apart from delicious meat and salad provided by owners a disappointing experience.

Tussen niks en nêrens, so 'n lekker still oornag na die jaar se gejaag.

Pragtige en stille omgewing, die akkommodasie was soos wat dit geadverteer is. Die sterrenag en berge was asemrowend. Geen selfoonopvangs maak dit die ideale plekkie om weg te kom van tegnologie en die lewe se gejaag. Dit was 'n heerlike verfrissende oornag na 'n lang pad van JHB af op pad Kaap toe.

Between nothing and nowhere, such a nice still overnight after the year's rush.

Beautiful and quiet setting, the accommodation was as advertised. The starry night and mountains were breathtaking. No cell phone reception makes it the ideal place to get away from technology and the hustle and bustle of life. It was a lovely refreshing overnight stay after a long drive from JHB on the way to Cape Town.

The summary on Lekeslaap is misleading and the accommodation is only suitable for those who prefer rustic, prefer camping.

More suitable for hunters than families.

I did not realise that Bhejane is a hunting game farm.

We went primarily for the game farm and there were almost no animals as it is a hunting game farm so the animals are very skittish. We only saw two buck which we could not make out as they ran away from us so fast. Otherwise it is beautiful and the hosts where very friendly.

Bhejane Game Reserve 's response

Good day, Sonja due to the draught and visit in January with the degrees over 40, it is understandable that you did not see many animals in the veld. We only hunt in winter time, so I do not think that has anything to do with the fact that you did not see any animals.
Thank you for your support

Perfekte plek om te herlaai en die natuurskoon te geniet.

Dis 'n pragtige area en die eienaars is lieflike mense. Ons het in die lodge gebly. Dis basies 2 aparte kamers (2 enkelbeddens met 'n badkamer en 'n gemeenskaplike buite-kombuis en braaiplek). Dit was slegs ons en die uitsig is fantasties. Ek dink wel dit sal ongemaklik wees as daar vreemde mense in die kamer langsaan bly. Ek sal graag weer wil kom oorbly vir meer as net een nag!

Perfect place to recharge and enjoy the scenery.

It's a beautiful area and the owners are lovely people. We stayed in the lodge. It's basically 2 separate rooms (2 single beds with a bathroom and a common outdoor kitchen and braai area). It was just us and the view is fantastic. I do think it would be awkward if there were strange people staying in the next room. I would love to stay again for more than just one night!

Boswegbreek sonder tegnologie. Herlaai daardie batterye!

Ons het heerlik herlaai by Bhejane en 4 nagte voel soos twee weke se rus. Dit is wat mens hier doen: skakel heeltemal af van die buitewêreld. Phillip en Adriana is 'n uitstekende span en het ons baie welkom laat voel. Probeer gerus hulle tuisgebakte, vars, warm plaasbrood! Ons beveel ook die wildrit aan. Ek is nie seker dat dit duidelik op die web is hoeveel mense per chalet gehuisves kan word nie. 4 of 5 gaste kan met gemak in 'n Chalet gehuisves word aangesien elkeen twee kamers het. Ek stel voor hierdie word goed met Phillip en Adriana gekommunikeer.

Forest getaway without technology. Recharge those batteries!

We had a wonderful recharge at Bhejane and 4 nights felt like two weeks of rest. This is what one does here: completely switch off from the outside world. Phillip and Adriana are an excellent team and made us feel very welcome. Feel free to try their home-baked, fresh, warm farm bread! We also recommend the game drive. I am not sure that it is clear on the web how many people can be accommodated per chalet. 4 or 5 guests can be accommodated in a Chalet with ease as each has two rooms. I suggest this is well communicated with Phillip and Adriana.

Baie teleurgesteld.

Die plek was vuil en onaangenaam geruik. Die eienaar het vergeet ons kom. Die toilet het nie gewerk nie en die water in die stort loop nie weg nie. Ons moes eers alle kombuistoerusting was voordat ons dit kon gebruik. Dit was definitief nie waarde vir geld nie. Ons was baie teleurgesteld.

The place was dirty and smelled unpleasant. The owner forgot we were coming. The toilet did not work and the water in the shower did not drain. We had to wash all kitchen equipment before we could use it. It was definitely not value for money. We were very disappointed.

Fantastiese mense, die rustigheid self, mooi Karoo plaas!

Die vrou wat die plek bestuur/besit is waarlik 'n fantastiese mens. Daar was 'n misverstand met ons verblyf en sy het ons toe met 'n glimlag van 'n kampplek na 'n chalet toe opgradeer sonder om ekstra te vra. Ons was baie dankbaar en het baie lekker gebly. Fantastiese uitsig, baie stil en rustig, goeie geriewe in die chalet. Sal dit verseker aanbeveel. Baie dankie vir die moeite en gasvryheid, mag die Here julle oorvloedig seën in 2017!

The woman who runs/owns the place is really a fantastic person. There was a misunderstanding with our booking and she upgraded us from a camping spot to a chalet with a smile without asking any questions. We really appreciated it and we had a great stay. Fantastic view, very quiet and relaxing, good facilities in the chalet. Will definitely recommend. Thanks for your trouble and hospitality, God bless in 2017!

Wat 'n plesier om hier by Bhejane te kon bly.

So rustig ingenes in die "bosveld" van die Karoo. Prentjie mooi. Ek sal vir enige iemand voorstel wat daarvan hou om weg te kom van die stad se gedruis om hier 'n draai te kom maak. Ons het diere en voëls gesien van ons stoep af en die berge voor tent het ons betower, veral toe ons daar wakker word. Die "biltong-steaks" is 'n moet en kan gekoop word by die eienaar. Vriendelike, gasvrye eienaars wat hou van gesels, lekker braai en 'n prentjie mooi toneel. Wat meer wil jy he?

What a pleasure to stay at Bhejane.

Peacefully nestled in the "bushveld" of the Karoo. Picture perfect. I will recommend it to anyone who likes getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city noise, to pay this place a visit. We saw animals and birds from the patio and the mountains in front of our tent amazed us, especially when we woke up. The "biltong steaks" are a must and can be bought from the owner. Friendly, hospitable owners who likes a chat, a nice braai and picture perfect scenery. What more could you want?

Meer 'n eindpunt-verblyf as 'n oorslaapplek.

Pragtige omgewing en salige stilte. Ongelukkig geen wild gesien omdat die bosse baie ruig is en waterdrinkplek ver is van die lodge. Die lodge is meer ingestel op mans wat net sou vleis braai en die kombuis-geriewe kan dus verbeter. Die pad-aanduidings is nie duidelik. Dit is 32 km op 'n swakkerige sement-pad van Willowmore na Steytlerville en dan 10 km op 'n goeie breë grondpad (korrek aangedui op die aanwysings tot sover), maar dan moet jy afdraai op 'n kleinerige grondpad (goeie toestand vir 'n sedan) met geen aanwysings vir verdere 10 km.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

More of a terminus stay than a stopover.

Beautiful surroundings and blissful silence. Unfortunately no wildlife seen because the woods are very thick and the water drinking place is far from the lodge. The lodge is more geared towards men who would only grill meat and the kitchen facilities can therefore be improved. The road signs are not clear. It is 32 km on a poor cement road from Willowmore to Steytlerville and then 10 km on a good wide dirt road (correctly indicated on the directions so far), but then you have to turn off on a small dirt road (good condition for ' n sedan) with no directions for a further 10 km.

Vriendelike ontvangs en skoon en netjiese plek!

Vir tentekamp in die bos is die opset regtig baie lekker. Die eienaar het ons vriendelik ontvang en persoonlik na die blyplek geneem. Alles was skoon en netjies. Dit is baie stil en veilig. Kids was mal oor die uitsig en stilte. Bonus is geen selfoonontvangs. Die enigste negatiewe aspek is die pad van Willowmore af. Die pad is maar sleg en ek sal nie 'n gewone kar aanbeveel nie. Eerder 'n groterige SUV of bakkie.

Friendly reception and clean and tidy place!

For tent camping in the woods, the setup is really, really nice. The owner received us kindly and personally took us to the accommodation. Everything was clean and tidy. It is very quiet and safe. Kids loved the view and silence. Bonus is no cell phone reception. The only negative aspect is the road from Willowmore. The road is bad and I wouldn't recommend an ordinary car. Rather a larger SUV or van.
