Peaceful and relaxing.

We had such an amazing time at Blesberg. We went for hikes, spent some time with the animals and went canoeing in the dam. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Awesome!

The boys had a blast fishing. They want to come back when the dam is fuller. They also loved the zip line. If I can suggest more lights outside as it was difficult to braai in the dark.

Perfect weekend away.

We had a great time in the Ivy cottage! The location is breathtaking, and there's always something to do on the farm. All staff are friendly and very helpful. We took our large dog along, and everyone treated him like family. We will be back soon!

Lovely cottage with everything one needs!

The Blesberg Farm Cottages is a lovely, cute cottage that has everything one needs. We were very excited about the fresh farm milk that was provided to us. Our kids loved the paddle boats on the dam. We could have easily stayed longer but unfortunately had to leave due to school starting soon. However, we will be back for sure!

Plaas lewe op sy beste. Groot pret!

Amazing om die plaas lewe te beleef. Kinders het uitgepit in die bed geklim elke aand. Dus wel nie almal se smaak nie, want dit is 'n plat op die aarde plaas-kothuis met net die benodigste. Daar is vlieë en die wonderlike reuk van 'n plaas, maar as jy verby dit sien, is dit 'n juweel van 'n plek. Die dammetjie met bootjies was 'n wonderlike pluspunt.

Place life at its best. Great fun!

Amazing to experience the farm life. Children climbed into bed exhausted every night. So not everyone's taste, because it is a down to earth farm cottage with only the essentials. There are flies and the wonderful smell of a farm, but if you see past that, it's a gem of a place. The little pond with boats was a great plus.

Ongelooflik mooi!

Ek het geensins verwag dit is so mooi soos wat ons beleef het by Blesberg Farm Cottages nie! Ons sal vir seker weer soontoe gaan en die ander staproetes aandurf. Die 1.9 km roete is sprokiesmooi en 'n blouduiker ooi het ons ook verras toe sy uit die bosse spring en voor ons verby hardloop!

Incredibly beautiful!

In no way did I expect it to be as beautiful as what we experienced at Blesberg Farm Cottages! We will definitely go there again and try the other hiking trails. The 1.9 km route is fairytale beautiful and a blue diver ewe also surprised us when she jumped out of the bushes and ran past us!

Really enjoyable.

We really enjoyed our stay, can't really complain about anything. The dam is great, the farm animals around the cottages are lovely for the younger kids. It was a pity that we couldn't go to the dairy, but it is understandable from a safety point of view. We had a great stay.

Baie lekker geslaap en pratige uitkykpunte gesien.

Baie lekker geslaap en pratige uitkykpunte. As ek 'n voorstel kan maak, kort daar dalk net 'n spieël met tafeltjie vir die vrouens wat wil make-up en lig by die aamwysings bordjies vir mense wat in die aande arriveer, maar andersins is daar geen klagtes.

Slept very well and saw nice viewpoints.

Very good sleep and nice viewpoints. If I can make a suggestion, maybe there is only a mirror with a small table for the women who want to put on make-up and light by the signposts for people who arrive in the evenings, but otherwise there are no complaints.

Twee baie ontspanne dae by Blesberg spandeer, kwaliteit-gesinstyd.

Uitsig is pragtig, die dam, plaasdiere, skoon lug en al die aktiwiteite daar was 'n fees!

Outydse kothuis op 'n beeldskone plaas!

Die plaas en uitsigte is asemrowend. Lekker dam, staproetes en plaasdiere. Jy kan heerlik braai op die stoepie en die uitsig geniet. Grasgroen Natal heuwels op hul beste! Die kothuis en dekor is baie outyds en nie baie skoon nie. Geen kommunikasie of diens nie. Maar die skoonheid van die natuur maak dit die moeite werd.

Old fashioned cottage on a beautiful farm!

The farm and views are breathtaking. Nice pond, hiking trails and farm animals. You can have a delicious braai on the stoepie and enjoy the view. Grass green Natal hills at their best! The cottage and decor is very old fashioned and not very clean. No communication or service. But the beauty of nature makes it worth it.

Teleurstellend.

Verkeerde huis was skoongemaak met aankoms. Skoonmaker moes sleutel gaan haal en het toe gou gevee. Bed in hoofkamer is kliphard. Daar is geen deure voor vertrekke, slegs gordyne. Sitkamerstel se kussings is 1 bank kliphard en die ander 1 vrek sag. Het glad nie gemaklik geslaap of gesit en kuier nie.

Disappointing.

Wrong house was cleaned on arrival. Cleaner had to go get key and then quickly swept. Bed in main room is rock hard. There are no doors in front of rooms, only curtains. Living room set's cushions are 1 bank rock hard and the other 1 damn soft. Didn't sleep or sit comfortably at all.

Def nie soos dit op webwerf is nie.

1ste se hul nie vir jou jy ry deur n informele nedersetting nie. Die pad vanaf die plaashek kan jy nie met n gewone klein kar meer ry nie. die fotos op jul webwerf oor hoe die pad en huisie lyk is vals die cottage waarin ons gewoon het was weke laas skoon gemaak. ek sal dit vir niemand aanbeveel nie. Sekerlik moet jul so elke 3 maande na die plekke gaan kyk want jul naam word aan sulke plekke gebind. Die persoon op die whatsapp nommer kan glad nie met mense praat nie hy is ongeskik. Gelukkig het ek my eie afdroog lap gevat want daardie was baie vuil. Die 2 plaatstoof praat ek nie eers van nie.

Def not like it is on website.

1st they don't tell you you are driving through an informal settlement. You can no longer drive the road from the farm gate with an ordinary small car. the photos on your website about what the road and house look like are fake, the cottage we lived in was cleaned a few weeks ago. I would not recommend it to anyone. Surely you have to check the places every 3 months because your name is linked to such places. The person on the whatsapp number cannot talk to people at all, he is disabled. Luckily I took my own drying cloth because that one was very dirty. I'm not even talking about the 2 plate stove.

Die plekkie is 'n juweel en sal weer daar oorslaap en selfs langer!

Die kothuis is pragtig en die kinders (10 & 8) het die ponies geniet reg langs ons asook die bokke naby. Die dam uitsig is so mooi asook die uitsig vroeg oggend met sonsopkoms vanaf die stoep. Die lekkerrr plaasmelk in die yskas was een groot verrassing! Die vuurherd was heerlik die aand. kan die plekkie beslis aanbeveel!

The place is a gem and would stay there again and even longer!

The cottage is beautiful and the children (10 & 8) enjoyed the ponies right next to us as well as the goats nearby. The dam view is so beautiful as well as the view early in the morning with sunrise from the porch. The delicious farm milk in the fridge was a big surprise! The hearth was delicious in the evening. can definitely recommend the place!

Een van die mooiste, rustigste and genotvolle ervarings.

Ideaal vir 'n rustige, ontspannende, intieme wegbreek om net weer te herkalibreer. Die plaaslewe is verfrissend, die vars plaasmelk in die yskas was ongelooflik, die uitsigte is asemrowend, staproetes is briljant uitgelê en die dam is so mooi. Ons het lekker geroei en waarlik 'n lekker tyd in geheel.

Ideal for a quiet, relaxing, intimate getaway to just recalibrate. The farm life is refreshing, the fresh farm milk in the fridge was amazing, the views are breathtaking, the hiking trails are brilliantly laid out and the pond is so beautiful. We had fun rowing and a really good time overall.

Beautiful stay and memories created.

We are a large family and always want to celebrate Christmas together. It is always difficult to find self-catering accommodation which is big enough to accommodate all of us. We were blessed to find Blesberg at the last minute. We booked the Manor House and 1 cottage. The main manor house is a gorgeous and huge home, beautifully decorated and spacious. Everyone in the family was blown away as the pictures didn't do it any justice. We had a great stay, though it was raining. We managed to stay warm with enough firewood supplied for the fireplaces and heaters in the bedrooms. I would definitely like to come back and hopefully, the weather is nice and warm so that we can enjoy the outdoors more. I will recommend this to my friends and anyone who wishes to stay here. The hosts were also very nice and accommodating to our requests prior and during the stay. We had a beautiful Christmas holiday and would definitely return should the opportunity arise!

Very nice, private, peaceful, exactly what one would expect from a farm atmosphere. Beautiful scenery.

The place was very beautiful, exactly the farm atmosphere you expect, bed and linen amazingly comfortable, I would only recommend a mosquito net for the flies which is understandable to be so close to the cows, beautiful scenery, only the oad that leads to it was a bit of a challenge with our vehicle.

Lovely farm stay.

We did not receive any check-in information from the host. After arriving at the gate, we realised we do not have the code and had to drive back until we had a cellphone signal and then struggled to get hold of the host. After solving the problem, we had a lovely stay with all the heifers, ponies, and goats all around the cottage.
