Ons het so lekker gerus by Blackwood Farms, dit is pragtig daar. 'n Mens voel so tuis en daar is alles wat jy nodig het. Die hondekinders is ook so pragtig. Sal definitief weer kom kuier.

Hoogs aanbeveel vir romantiese wegbreek.

Hartlik verwelkom deur Carol, Charles en die honde. Uiters skoon en goed toegeruste huisie met al die klein details wat maak vir 'n heerlike tyd op die plaas. Ons het 'n heerlike, stil naweek geniet en bring volgende keer die kinders saam vir stap en fietsry. Baie dankie aan julle.

Lieflike, stylvolle en rustige kothuis.

Wat 'n plesier was die kothuis! Dit is op 'n werkende plaas, heeltemal onafhanklik van Eskom. Met lieflike uitsigte en waar jou siel kan rus en herstel. Dit is op die voet van 'n koppie en ons het daar gestap met die plaashonde, en ek wens ek kon 'n week daar bly. Dis gasvrou was baie vriendelik en die plek was uitgerus met absoluut alles wat mens nodig het!

Lovely, stylish and peaceful cottage.

What a delight the cottage was! It is on a working farm, completely independent of Eskom. With lovely views and where your soul can rest and recover. It is at the foot of a hill and we walked there with the farm dogs, and I wish I could stay there for a week. The hostess was very friendly and the place was equipped with absolutely everything you need!

The perfect retreat!

We had a wonderful weekend on this farm. The cottage has a fantastic view, and was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The hosts, Carol and Charlie, were friendly and hospitable and we enjoyed the dogs and farm animals. We could go for hikes on the farm and relax on the stoep. The cottage is well equipped with attention to detail, and the beds are warm and cosy. The fireplace was a bonus! Will definitely visit again.

Pragtige omgewing met mooiste uitsig. Lekker om te stap op die plaas. Dierbare honde wat jou mooi oppas en lekker saamstap. Plek om diep asem te haal en heerlik te rus. Baie netjies en smaakvol gemeubileer. Sal weer gaan kuier!

Pragtige omgewing wat beskikbaar gemaak word deur 2 baie gasvrye mense vir enigiemand wat rus en vrede soek.

Ons het 'n heerlike naweek beleef. Wat 'n plesier om die dag met koffie en beskuit op die stoep te begin en die plaasgeluide te hoor, die roep van kolganse en ander voëls. En in die aand te sien hoe die beeste huis toe kom, die perd wat kom probeer om die hek oop te maak vir 'n skelm besoek. Hierdie is 'n werkende plaas met rustige verblyf vir die gaste. En naby genoeg aan Clarens en Fouriesburg om bietjie "window shopping" te doen. Selfs 'n besoek aan Afriski is maklik haalbaar.

Beautiful surroundings made available by 2 very hospitable people for anyone looking for peace and quiet.

We had a wonderful weekend. What a pleasure to start the day with coffee and biscuits on the porch and hear the sounds of the farm, the call of geese and other birds. And in the evening seeing the cattle come home, the horse coming to try to open the gate for a rogue visit. This is a working farm with peaceful accommodation for the guests. And close enough to Clarens and Fouriesburg to do some window shopping. Even a visit to Afriski is easily achievable.

Asemrowende uitsig, sielsrus en vriendelike diens.

Hier sal ons weer afpak vir rus en vrede. Die Cottage is silwerskoon met gehaltelinne. Die houtstoof in die Cottage maak die aande lekker warm en snoesig. Die uitsig is onbeskryflik mooi. Vriendelike en bedagsame eienaars wat na al ons behoeftes omgesien het. Ons het gaan stap op die plaas en het vir geen oomblik onveilig gevoel nie. Ons was ook net 30 km van Clarens af en kon sommer gou vir die dag daar gaan kuier. Baie dankie Carol.

We were also only 30 km from Clarens and could easily visit there for the day. Thank you very much Carol.

This is a working cattle farm with a unique herd. Plenty of places to walk, farm animals to see and interesting things to learn. The cottage is beautiful with great attention to detail. This farm is near the highest vineyard in South Africa, close to Clarens and the Golden Gate National Park.

It's difficult having to sum up in just a few words!

We had an amazing 4 days! My partner and I definitely recommend the lovely Blackwoods Cottage Farm. It truly felt like home away from home, outside the noisy, busy city life, surrounded by peace and quiet partnered with the beautiful mountains and active farm life. We stayed in the antique cottage and I must say our whole expectation was immeasurably exceeded by how beautiful everything was. The vintage feel, stone walls, neatness, the decor, the views - all amazing. I look forward to returning in the future to visit my family away from home. 20 to 30 minutes drive from Clarens. Definitely a must for the lover of nature seeking peace and serenity, and a break from city life.

Hierdie is nou 'n wegbreek juweel. Die rustigheid, asook die huisie se netheid was ongelooflik.

Ons het so tuis gevoel. Carol en Charlie het soveel moeite met ons gedoen. Die huisie het soveel ekstras ingehad, van melk in die yskas tot seep, asook stortseep. Die linne, handdoeke was van die beste. Ons gaan dit beslis een van ons gereelde wegbreekplekkies maak. Die stilte en veiligheid is van onskatbare waarde. Geen twyfel nog die beste akkommodasie waarin ons gebly het! Hierdie is die lekkerste ingerigte akkommodasie waarin ons nog ooit was en ons reis baie. In die winter fantasies met sy kaggel asook die mooi skylights dat jy die Vrystaat-sterre kan beleef. Die vars, netjiese huisie het ons harte gesteel. Uitstekende waarde vir geld. Die pad na die huisie is ook baie mooi om te ry. Die huisie se breekgoed asook voorraad in is alles wat jy nodig het en soveel meer. Kan die akkommodasie hoog aanbeveel. Wonderlike gasheer en gasvrou wat soveel moeite vir mens doen.

We felt so at home. Carol and Charlie put so much effort into us. The cottage had so many extras, from milk in the fridge to soap, as well as shower soap. The linen, towels were some of the best. We will definitely make this one of our regular getaway spots. The silence and safety are priceless. No doubt the best accommodation we have stayed in! This is the nicest appointed accommodation we have ever been in and we travel a lot. In the winter fantasies with its fireplace as well as the beautiful skylights that you can experience the Free State stars. The fresh, neat house stole our hearts. Excellent value for money. The road to the cottage is also very nice to drive. The cottage's breakware as well as stock in it is everything you need and so much more. Can highly recommend the accommodation. Wonderful host and hostess who make so much effort for you.

Heerlike tyd in die berge op 'n pragtige werkende plaas.

Blackwoods Farm is op die voet van pragtige berge, ons het by die berg gaan opstap en daar is soveel natuur om te aanskou. Die plaas self het koeie, perde, honde, hoenders, katte en 'n vark wat rondloop in die woud - meer as genoeg diere vir jou om te aanskou en die honde gaan stap saam met jou! Daar is 'n plaasdam met 'n boomswaai. Die cottage het 'n heerlike warm vuurmaakplek en privaat stoep met uitstekende sonsondergang elke aand. Daar is hout vir jou braai en die kombuis is behoorlik toegerus. Die kamers het net die beste duvet en warm, fluffy, komberse. Vra Carol om jou meer van die area te vertel en onthou hier het dinosourusse geloop. Ons wens ons kon langer bly en gaan ons nuwe hondmaatjies mis!

Great time in the mountains on a beautiful working farm.

Blackwoods Farm is at the foot of beautiful mountains, we went for a walk up the mountain and there is so much nature to see. The farm itself has cows, horses, dogs, chickens, cats and a pig roaming the forest - more than enough animals for you to see and the dogs to walk with you! There is a farm pond with a tree swing. The cottage has a lovely warm fireplace and private veranda with excellent sunsets every evening. There is wood for your braai and the kitchen is properly equipped. The rooms have only the best duvet and warm, fluffy, blankets. Ask Carol to tell you more about the area and remember dinosaurs walked here. We wish we could stay longer and will miss our new dog friends!

Ontsettend mooi, baie stil en almal hou van 'n klein beitjie plaas.

Die plek het my verras vir hoe mooi dit is. Ongelooflik skoon, uitstekend toegerus met toebehore. Dis plek is geleë net so bo die voet van die berg, wat die aande en oggende baie aangenaam maak. Verwag om grondpad te ry by die berg op, ek kon dit stadig en gemaklik doen met 'n lugruikmotor. Ek kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie. As jy nie van plaas hou nie, stel ek nie die voor aan jou nie.

Stunningly beautiful, very quiet and everyone loves a little farm.

The place surprised me for how beautiful it is. Incredibly clean, excellently equipped with appliances. This place is located just above the foot of the mountain, which makes the evenings and mornings very pleasant. Expect to drive dirt road up the mountain, I was able to do it slowly and comfortably with an air sniffer. I can't wait to go back. If you don't like farm, I don't suggest it to you.

Nie soos verwag nie.

Die perseel se honde is welkom. Maar daar word nie gesê dat die eienaars 4 groot boerboeltipe honde het wat wel nie te vriendelik is nie. My hondjie is met aankoms gebyt. Met dit moes ons die 3 dae kortknip en die volgende dag terugkeer huis toe na ons veearts. 'n Duur les geleer.

Not as expected.

The premises' dogs are welcome. But it is not said that the owners have 4 large boerboel type dogs which are not too friendly. My puppy was bitten on arrival. With that we had to cut the 3 days short and return home to our vet the next day. An expensive lesson learned.

Beautiful cottage, amazing view and peaceful place.

We can recommend Blackwood cottage with all our heart. It is very tastefully decorated, everything you need is there, very comfortable. It is the perfect place to unwind. So many possibilities to go for a walk or just relax on the lovely stoep and enjoy the view. Carol and everybody on the farm were so welcoming and friendly. We felt very much at home. Thank you!

Rus en vrede in die mooiste omgewing.

Blackwoods Farm Cottage is die perfekte wegbreek. Eienaars is gasvry en byderhand, maar respekteer privaatheid. Ek sal beslis weer daarheen wil gaan, maar vir langer as net 'n naweek. Dis 'n plek vir sielerus.

Asemrowend!

Wow, ons het ons verblyf by Blackwoods ontsettend baie geniet! Die plaas is so mooi en die kothuis het 'n asemrowende uitsig oor die vallei. Die kothuis is netjies en skoon, en dit is so mooi ingerig met alles wat jy kon benodig. Bev het ons met ope arms verwelkom, en Carol en Charlie (die eienaars) was net so gasvry gewees. Ons het die twee honde, Rose en Jasper, se geselskap baie geniet. Boonop was daar baie oulike katte, perde, beeste, skape en selfs 'n vark wat ons vermaak het. Ons was net 3 aande daar gewees, maar ons het so lekker ontspan dit het gevoel of ons 'n week daar was! Ons sal Blackwoods Farm Cottage vir ieder en elk aanbeveel wat 'n breek van die stadslawaai nodig het. My enigste klagte is dat ons nie langer kon gebly het nie!

Breathtaking!

Wow, we really enjoyed our stay at Blackwoods! The farm is so beautiful and the cottage has a breathtaking view of the valley. The cottage is neat and clean, and it is so nicely furnished with everything you could need. Bev welcomed us with open arms, and Carol and Charlie (the owners) were just as hospitable. We really enjoyed the company of the two dogs, Rose and Jasper. In addition, there were many cute cats, horses, cattle, sheep and even a pig that entertained us. We were only there for 3 nights, but we relaxed so much it felt like we were there for a week! We would recommend Blackwoods Farm Cottage to anyone who needs a break from the city noise. My only complaint is that we couldn't have stayed longer!

Sielsgeluksalige vrede met die wonderlikste landskap van sandsteenformasies.

Die wonderlikste sandsteenformasies gekomplimenteer deur golwende grasgroen heuwels. Vrede op aarde waar jy wakker word met beeste wat bulk en proesende perde. Die ideale sentrale verblyf om die Oos-Vrystaat te verken.

Rustig, voedsel vir die siel.

Blackwoods Farm Cottage is pragtig ingerig en baie netjies. Die stilte, asemrowende natuurskoon en plaasdiere, maak van dit 'n uitsonderlike ervaring vir die wat ontvlugting soek van die stad se gejaag. Die dag van ons vertrek, was gevul met hartseer, want die kothuis het soos ons eie tuiste begin voel.

One of the most peaceful places on earth.

If you are looking for peace and tranquillity then this is definitely the place to go. The only sounds you hear are the animals and the wind blowing through the trees. The view is beautiful. This is the perfect place to break away from the busy city life. The unit itself was excellent, it is spacious yet cosy. It is well equipped with everything you need and more and very clean. It felt like a home away from home. The staff, especially Bev, was extremely friendly and welcoming - even the animals came to say hello a few times. Our little city dogs also had a wonderful time on the farm and enjoyed experiencing the animals and running around freely on the farm. We had a wonderful stay and will be back soon.

A peaceful haven with a 360° panoramic view.

The road leading up to the cottage is an adventure in itself - the surroundings are awesome and peaceful and the beautiful sunrise and sunset are wonderful. The cottage is charming, neat as a pin, has comfy beds with crisp clean linen and just simply homey. It's the best 'hidden secret' I have found to date.

As ek moeg word vir die lewe in die stad, gee my Blackwoods Farm Cottage.

Dit was 'n wonderlike naweek. 'n Klein entjie uit Fouriesburg, maar geen geraas, net plaasgeluide. Die huisie is wonderlik en prakties ingerig, daar is tot 'n stoompot in die kas. Oorgenoeg komberse vir koue nagte, asook 'n kaggel met genoeg hout. Heerlike atmosfeer. Die eienaars, opsigter en werkers is uiters vriendelik, maar maak nie inbreek op jou privaatheid nie. Uit elke venster is 'n wonderlike uitsig. Vrystaat op sy beste. As jy opsoek is na rus en vrede, is dit die plek vir jou.

When I'm tired of the city life, give me Blackwoods Farm Cottage.

It was a wonderful weekend. A short distance from Fouriesburg, but no noise, only farm sounds. The house is wonderful and equipped in a practical way. There's even a pressure cooker in the cupboard. More than enough blankets for the cold evenings as well as a fireplace with enough wood. Lovely atmosphere. The owners, caretaker and workers are terribly friendly, but do not disturb your privacy. From every window is a wonderful view. Free State at its best. If you are looking for peace and quiet, then this is the place for you.

Wonderlike verblyf in die Maluti berge.

Die huisie is ideaal geleë, met 'n pragtige uitsig oor die berge en vallei. Mooi meubels en fasiliteite, baie netjies. Die perde loop rond verby die stoep. Daar is vriendelike honde en katte, en beeste, hoenders en ganse. Werklik 'n klassieke Vrystaatse plaas. Die bestuurder het ons op elke manier gehelp. Ek wil net voorstel dat 'n naambordjie by die afdraaipad aangebring word. Waarde vir geld!

Wonderful stay in the Maluti mountains.

The cottage is ideally located, with a beautiful view of the mountains and valley. Nice furniture and facilities, very tidy. The horses walk around past the porch. There are friendly dogs and cats, and cattle, chickens and geese. Truly a classic Free State farm. The manager helped us in every way. I just want to suggest that a sign be put up at the turn off road. Value for money!
