Phenomenal.

Our stay at Bibi's Joy Self-catering House was nothing short of extraordinary, and we can't sing enough praises for the owners, Peter and Bibi, as well as the dedicated workers, Cedric and Gail. From the moment we stepped in, it was evident that every inch of this haven was crafted with love and care. The meticulous attention to detail, from the well-maintained surroundings to the beautifully arranged flowers by Cedric and Gail, created an atmosphere of serenity. Our days were filled with enchanting activities, from star gazing to connecting with the local wildlife by feeding the nearby goats, cows, and horses. Hiking up the riverside trail and cycling around the town provided adventure and breathtaking views. The garden, a haven for diverse birdlife, added a touch of nature's charm to our experience. Our heartfelt thanks to the owners and staff for their warm hospitality and for curating such a beautiful and comfortable retreat. This holiday home truly allowed us to disconnect from the world and create cherished memories. We express our gratitude and eagerly anticipate our next visit to this slice of heaven. Thank you, Peter, Bibi, Cedric, and Gail, for making our stay exceptional.

Relaxed and chilled.

Everything is convenient, a warm and cozy atmosphere. I felt safe because we were only women and kids loved the outside. I will definitely stay longer next time.

Really enjoyable.

Bibi's Joy Self-catering House is really a hidden gem offering great value for money. Fabulous dining room and kitchen with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Great base to explore the area. Don't miss the walk which starts behind the cottage. The host was a gracious host, communicated well, and made sure we had everything we needed.

Alles was in orde en het heerlik gekuier. Slegs brandhout was sopnat.

Indien droë hout voorsien word sal die skoonmaker 'n groter inkomste vir haarself verdien, want gaste sal dan meer sakke hout gebruik.

Everything was in order and had a great time. Only firewood was soaking wet.

If dry wood is provided, the cleaner will earn a greater income for herself, because guests will then use more bags of wood.

Gesin en kleinkinders.

Peter en sy mense was baie gasvry. Ons het werklik gevoel ons is by ons eie huis maar tog weg van die huis. Plek was netjies. Beddegoed warm, het soos 'n droom geslaap. Kleinkinders het al die voëltjies geniet en sowel om buite te speel. Die kaggels was 'n ekstra bonus. Baie, baie dankie vir die voorreg wat ons gehad het om daar te bly.

Family and grandchildren.

Peter and his people were very hospitable. We truly felt like we were at our own home yet away from home. Place was neat. Bedding warm, slept like a dream. Grandchildren enjoyed all the birds and also playing outside. The fireplaces were an added bonus. Many, many thanks for the privilege we had to stay there.

Ongelooflike verblyf met meet as wat jy nodig het. Die gratis hout was 'n bonus.

Waar die eienaars wel aandag kan gee is die warmwatertoevoer na die storte. Ons sowel as ons vriende het in beide storte ervaar dat die een oomblik het jy warm water en die volgende oomblik is die water yskoud en dan weer warm. Dit gebeur, al word geen ander kraan oopgedraai nie, andersins is dit 'n pragtige plek.

Amazing accommodation with everything you need. The free wood was a bonus.

Where the owners can pay attention is the hot water supply to the showers. We as well as our friends have experienced in both showers that one moment you have hot water and the next moment the water is ice cold and then hot again. This happens, even if no other tap is turned on, otherwise it's a beautiful place.

Piece of Heaven.

This is my second stay at this establishment and the peace and tranquility is what is appreciated. The unit caters for all the cooking needs and large open spaces both indoor and outdoor, so perfect for a small group or family. It's great value for money and very neat and clean. It's a perfect getaway from the busy city life.

Was baie lekker.

Dit is nie geskik vir meer as 3 paartjies nie, daai opslaanbeddens is baie ongemaklik en die groot glasdeure moet ten minste iets kry wat jy saans kan toetrek en die beddegoed was ook baie min. Die linnekaste was gesluit. Die natuur was lieflik, kos vir jou siel.

Was very nice.

It is not suitable for more than 3 couples, those folding beds are very uncomfortable and the large glass doors should at least have something you can pull over at night and the bedding was also very little. The linen closets were locked. Nature was lovely, food for your soul.

Rustig en vol vrede.

Dit is werklik baie rustig reg teen die berg. Loop in die vrede in binne die bos. Die inligting wat jy sien is wat jy kry.

Calm and full of peace.

It is really very peaceful right on the mountain. Walk in peace into the forest. The information you see is what you get.

Rustig en weggesteek!

Aangenaam verras deur die huislike ruim kothuis en pragtige omgewing. Bertie, die opsigter, kommunikeer gereeld, kom groet en kyk dat alles reg is. Wens ons kon langer bly!

Lekker netjiese huis, goed toegerus, mooi omgewing, naby N2.

Lekker huis vir 2 paartjies of 4 mense. Plek vir meer is bietjie beperk. Eienaars het baie moeite gedoen om ons groep van 8 te akkomodeer. Goed toegerus met binnebraai, groot tafel, gerieflike meubels, kaggel. Buitetafel sou handig gewees het. Lekker stap- en fietsrypaaie.

Nice and tidy house, well equipped, nice surroundings, close to N2.

Nice house for 2 couples or 4 people. Space for more is a bit limited. Owners went to great lengths to accommodate our group of 8. Well equipped with indoor grill, large table, comfortable furniture, fireplace. Outside table would have been handy. Nice walking and cycling paths.

Rustig, wonderlike troeteldiens vriendelike plek, ideaal vir die wat niks wil doen nie!

Goed toegeruste, rustige troeteldier vriendelike plek. Volledig omheinde erf met 'n pragtige tuin wat ideaal was vir ons Boston Terriers om rond te snuffel. Het dit baie geniet.
