Uitsonderlike omgewing en akkommodasie.

Ons was aangenaam verras met die kothuis (Zebra), netjies en goed toegerus. Oorgenoeg hout was voorsien om die koue met die kagel te verdryf. Die omgewing is pragtig, rustig en sielverrykend. Sterre was pragtig, want daar is geen lugbesoedeling. Die stap na die waterval was nogals taai, net oor 1 uur tot daar se taai stap. Maar dit was die moeite werd. Ons Beagle hond het die naweek net so geniet. Beslis aan te beveel. Dankie tog vir geen selfoon sein, kon die fone wegsit en die omgewing inneem.

Exceptional setting and accommodation.

We were pleasantly surprised with the cottage (Zebra), neat and well equipped. Ample wood was provided to drive away the cold with the stove. The surroundings are beautiful, peaceful and soul-enriching. Stars were beautiful because there is no air pollution. The walk to the waterfall was quite tough, just over 1 hour until there's a tough walk. But it was worth it. Our Beagle dog enjoyed the weekend just as much. Definitely recommend. Thank goodness for no cell phone signal, could put the phones away and take in the surroundings.

Lovely well equipped cottage. Beautiful surroundings. Kind attentive staff.

Not only was the cottage well equipped with everything we needed, but it was also great to see that there was even provision for animals (bowls, leashes). Lots of firewood was more than enough for the rainy weather we experienced. Loved the closeness of the farm animals and the staff was very attentive and kind when we arrived to ensure we were settled in. We loved seeing the wild animals being fed and the waterfall and rockpool. Communication was great. We advise alternative roads because of the rain. Easy, no-fuss process. We will definitely be back.

Bo Kouga is 'n fantastiese familie-wegkomplekkie!

Daar is geen sein nie - ons het gelag, gekuier, gespeel en gesels soos nog nooit vantevore nie! Die uitsig is asemrowend! Ons het die staproete aangevat en dit was tough op ons stadsjapies maar ook die waterval werd! 'n Hidden gem! Die akkommodasie is topklas en plain and simple in een. Dit was lekker gemaklik en pragtig in een woord! Daar is bokke, diere, skapies, kajakke, damme, natuur uit 'n sprokie! Ons sal vir seker weer gaan! Dit was die lekkerste, rustigste drie dae wat ons nog gehad het! Pret en rus soos nog nooit tevore nie! Die plekkie is so mooi versteek, dit is 'n stukkie paradys doer in die berge versteek!

Bo Kouga is a fantastic family getaway!

There is no signal - we laughed, hung out, played and talked like never before! The view is breathtaking! We took the walking route and it was tough on our city jays but also worth the waterfall! A hidden gem! The accommodation is top class and plain and simple all in one. It was nice and comfortable and beautiful in one word! There are goats, animals, sheep, kayaks, ponds, nature from a fairy tale! We will go again for sure! It was the most enjoyable, peaceful three days we have ever had! Fun and rest like never before! The place is so beautifully hidden, it's a piece of paradise hidden away in the mountains!

Afgeleë, rustig en pragtig.

Baie lekker paar dae daar spandeer in Desember. Die padaanwysings was perfek en baie duidelik. Die paaie was verspoel weens die baie reën so die eienaar het my 2 dae voor ons aankoms op hoogte gehou met vordering deur die paaie administrasie om die paaie oop te stoot. Die eienaar was bereid om volledige terugbetaling te doen maar ons het besluit om te wag en sien of die paaie oopgemaak word en dit was! Ons was baie gelukkig om daar te kuier en die opsigter Tyler was baie vriendelik en het ons bygestaan met enigeiets. Daar was slegs een regteige koue aand maar Tyler het gesorg dat daar oorgenoeg droë hout beskikbaar was vir die kaggel (en vir die braai). Fantastiese plek vir mense wat so bietjie rus vir hul siel soek.

Secluded, peaceful and beautiful.

Very nice few days spent there in December. The road directions were perfect and very clear. The roads were washed out due to the lot of rain so the owner kept me updated 2 days before our arrival with progress by the roads administration to push the roads open. The owner was willing to give a full refund but we decided to wait and see if the roads were opened and they were! We were very happy to visit there and the caretaker Tyler was very friendly and assisted us with anything. There was only one really cold evening but Tyler made sure that there was plenty of dry wood available for the fireplace (and for the barbecue). Fantastic place for people looking for some rest for their soul.

'n Wonderlike wegbreektyd in pragtige natuur.

'n Heerlike tyd waar ons diskonnekteer het van die buite-wêreld sodat ons weer kon konnekteer met onsself. Pragtige natuurskoon. Die kothuis is gerieflik ingerig en baie netjies. Ons honde-kinders het die stappies geniet en was veilig en toegekamp terwyl ons ontspan het. Lieflike kaggel binne en genoeg hout het ons lekker laat kuier selfs met die koue en nat weer. Ons sal beslis weer kom kuier.

A wonderful time away in beautiful nature.

A wonderful time where we disconnected from the outside world so that we could reconnect with ourselves. Beautiful scenery. The cottage is comfortably furnished and very tidy. Our dog-kids enjoyed the walks and were safe and snug while we relaxed. Lovely fireplace inside and enough wood allowed us to have a good time even with the cold and wet weather. We will definitely visit again.

Rustige, asemrowende omgewing.

Dit is die mooiste plek tussen berge en die suikerbosse is in blom. Ons het waterval toe geloop en oral vergaap jy jou aan die natuurskoon. Die huisie is knus en goed toegerus en elke dag het die groot skilpad en die katte kom dagsê. Ons sal vir seker weer daar gaan uitrus.

Great stay, very pet friendly! Completely closed off yard with lawn, dogs loved it.

Only advice I can give to travellers is to try and plan their trips to do the last 20 km during daylight. The dirt road is drivable for any normal car with a responsible driver, lowered suspension sports cars or vehicles with very low front spoilers might have issues.

Plek vir natuurliefhebbers, weg van die gejaagde rotresies.

Weggesteek tussen berge en valleie met die mooiste uitsig vanuit kothuis 5. Die plaas en kothuis is ruim en ons het niks kortgekom nie. Tyler was hulpvaardig en ons drie nagte was eintlik te kort, selfs al het ons 2 van die 3 aande gesukkel om die warm water te beheer met die laedruk-geiser. Ons woefkind het dit net so baie geniet! Dit was goed om nie selfoonsein te hê nie. Pak genoeg kos en vergeet vir 'n wyle van die res van die wêreld. Die sebras en elande se voertyd was spesiaal en die stilte van die nag op gerieflike beddens was 'n groot bederf. Die pad waterval toe vir 'n onfikse soos ek was moeilik, die laaste klim oor rotse en los klippe, maar ek is dankbaar vir die mooi natuurskoon wat ons kon verken. Daar's pragtige rotsformasies, proteas, waterstroompies en 'n yskoue poel by die waterval se eindbestemming om moeë voetjies in af te koel. Neem maar 'n stapstok saam vir 'n hupstootjie. Saans was die kaggelvuur, maan en sterre 'n bonus en hierdie versteekte wegbreek word aanbeveel vir ieder en elk.

Place for nature lovers, away from the hectic rat race.

Tucked away between mountains and valleys with the most beautiful view from cottage 5. The farm and cottage are spacious and we lacked nothing. Tyler was helpful and our three nights were actually too short, even if 2 of the 3 nights we struggled to control the hot water with the low pressure geyser. Our tomboy enjoyed it just as much! It was good not having cell phone signal. Pack enough food and forget about the rest of the world for a while. The zebras' and moose's feeding time was special and the silence of the night on comfortable beds was a great treat. The road to the waterfall for an unfit person like me was difficult, the last climb over rocks and loose stones, but I am grateful for the beautiful scenery we were able to explore. There are beautiful rock formations, proteas, water streams and an ice-cold pool at the waterfall's final destination to cool off tired feet. Just take a walking stick with you for a boost. In the evenings the log fire, moon and stars were a bonus and this hidden getaway is recommended to everyone.

Absoluut asemrowend

Gemaklike kuier, werklik mooi, atmosfeer is rustig en goed vir die siel. Die inry op die grondpad was ongelukkig in die donker, maar die pad was in uitstekende toestand soos grondpaaie kom. As ek die tyd gehad het sou ek maklik nog 'n paar dae gebly het.

Ons het 'n onvergeetlike Kersnaweek saam met familie gevier by Bo Kouga Mountain Retreat en dit was 'n groot fees!

Die kamers en kothuise was almal ruim en netjies en goed toegerus met die nodige kombuistoebehore en breekware ens. Die omgewing is asemrowend mooi en die tuine en gronde rondom die kothuise baie mooi versorg. Baie dankie aan Tyler wat 24/7 op bystand was en gehelp het toe die watertoevoer na een van die kothuise opgeraak het! Ons waardeer dit ongelooflik baie dat jy jou Kersnaweek vir ons opgeoffer het! Ons sal definitief Bo Kouga vir almal aanbeveel wat vir n paar dae wil wegbreek van die Tuinroete se besige strande en net wil "asemhaal" en die diep stilte van die Klein Karoo eerstehands wil ervaar.

We celebrated an unforgettable Christmas weekend with family at Bo Kouga Mountain Retreat and it was a great celebration!

The rooms and cottages were all spacious and tidy and well equipped with the necessary kitchen utensils and crockery etc. The surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful and the gardens and grounds around the cottages are very well maintained. Many thanks to Tyler who was on standby 24/7 and helped out when the water supply to one of the cottages ran out! We really appreciate you sacrificing your Christmas weekend for us! We would definitely recommend Bo Kouga to everyone who wants to break away from the Garden Route's busy beaches for a few days and just want to "breathe" and experience the deep silence of the Klein Karoo first hand.

Teleurstellend.

Ons het vir vier aande bespreek, maar het na die eerste aand opgepak en gery. Ons sal voorstel dat mense ingelig word dat dit 'n lang grondpad is na Bo-Kouga en die enigste winkels vir kos ens. is 'n verdere 10 km uit na Uniondale. Die eienaar was nie daar, en daar was 'n paar baie, baie honger jong katjies. Die persoon wat ons 'ontvang' het sou later terugkom met 'n toeristevorm. Dit het nooit gebeur.

Disappointing.

We booked for four nights but packed up and drove after the first night. We would suggest that people be informed that it is a long dirt road to Upper Kouga and the only shops for food etc. is a further 10km out to Uniondale. The owner was not there, and there were some very, very hungry young kittens. The person who 'received' us would return later with a tourist form. It never happened.

Bo Kouga Mountain Retreat 's response

Hello Michelle,
You booked for 4 nights and on the day of arrival phoned to say you would only arrive on the third day. With your booking confirmation, I sent you detailed directions to the farm where I indicated we are 29 km from Uniondale.
When you booked, you booked a self-catering cottage. The staff thought you might have brought too little food when you asked them if they could make you some food. If we were on the farm that weekend we would have invited you to dinner but unfortunately, we were not.
The staff also checked if everything was okay and if you were settled and you did not mention any concern.
Regarding the cats, they do get excited around mealtime when people come up to them. I apologise that your trip did not work out as you had planned and wished.

Pragtig.

Netjiese plek waar mens werklik kan afskakel. Ons het die kaggel geniet, asook die stoep met sy besonderse uitsig. Belangrik om te weet: Dis net-net te ver uit die dorp om sommer net winkel toe te ry, koop alles vooraf. Daar is 'n groot yskas met genoeg plek. Die kombuis het slegs 'n stoof en mikrogolf met 'n grill-funksie, geen oond nie. Ons het dit geniet om sonder sein en WiFi te wees. Die beskikbare speletjies het vir genoeg pret gesorg.

Neat place where you can really switch off. We enjoyed the fireplace, as well as the porch with its exceptional view. Important to know: It's just too far out of town to just drive to the store, buy everything in advance. There is a large fridge with plenty of space. The kitchen only has a stove and microwave with a grill function, no oven. We enjoyed being without signal and WiFi. The available games provided enough fun.

Al wat jy hoor is die natuur - op hierdie rustige plaas gesels net die plaasdiere!

Zebra Cottage is goed geleë met 'n uitsig oor die plaas en omliggende heuwels. Dis die ideale plek vir hond se kind om saam te kom vakansie hou met die omheinde erf. Kothuis is netjies en goed toegerus met 'n heerlike stoep vir kuier en braai. Dis heerlik om na die waterval met sy mooi poele te gaan vir 'n piekniek en afkoel. Die onfikses moet liefs met 'n 4x4 ry tot by die parkering en daarvan 150 m loop (trek maar eerder stapskoene aan om oor die rif te kom). Die wild is gewoond aan mense en drentel normaalweg rondom hul voerbakke rond sodat mens hul goed kan bekyk. Heerlike plek om net te ontspan en die minimum te doen.

All you hear is nature - on this peaceful farm only the farm animals are talking!

Zebra Cottage is well situated with a view over the farm and surrounding hills. It's the ideal place for a dog's child to come and spend a holiday with the fenced yard. Cottage is neat and well equipped with a lovely porch for visiting and braaiing. It's lovely to go to the waterfall with its beautiful pools for a picnic and cool off. The unfit should preferably drive a 4x4 to the parking lot and walk 150 m from there (put on walking shoes instead to get over the ridge). The wildlife are used to people and normally hang around their feeding bowls so that you can look at their stuff. Great place to just relax and do the bare minimum.

Baie ver pad om in te ry met baie hekke en geen sein. Borde was nie duidelik nie en ons het heeltyd getwyfel of is ons op regte pad.

Die eenheid was skoon, maar die meubels is oud en verwaarloos. As jy op die bank gaan sit, val jy in 'n gat. Die stortgordyn is baie oud en grillerig en lappe/draperings voor vensters is vodde. Dit kort 'n ernstige opgradering. Kan nie vergelyk met ander oorslaapplek waar ons geslaap het en dieselfde betaal het nie. Ek sou graag wou weet dat dit ons 'n uur sou neem van die afdraai tot by die plaas. Die kilometers is naby, maar dit neem lank om daar uit te kom.

Very far to drive with lots of gates and no signal. Signs were not clear and we were constantly doubting whether we were on the right track.

The unit was clean but the furniture is old and neglected. If you sit on the couch, you fall into a hole. The shower curtain is very old and creepy and rags/drapes in front of windows are ragged. This requires a serious upgrade. Can't compare to other accommodation where we slept and paid the same. I would have liked to know that it would take us an hour from the turn-off to the farm. The kilometres are close, but it takes a long time to get there.

Amazing experience!

Having travelled and stayed in many self-catering places over the years, I must say that Bo Kouga are one of only a handful of self-catering places in the country that can really say that they are pet friendly. We were extremely impressed by the sturdy fences around the cottage which allowed us to relax while the dogs explored. Ian met us when we arrived and must be one of the kindest people we have met in a long time. He made us feel right at home from the moment we got there. Zebra Cottage itself is equipped with everything you need and very comfortable. We spent most of our days reading on the veranda which overlooks the valley, sat chatting by the fire at night and loved the walk to the mountain pools and waterfall. There is no cellphone signal, which was great! Using a strong router we were able to pick up relatively steady MTN signal strong enough to send emails and work from there though. If we are ever in the region again, we will definitely go back to Bo Kouga, it really was one of the best experiences we have had during our entire holiday.

Fanatiese plek, definitief 'n plek om te rus.

'n Vreeslike mooi plek en die eienaar/bestuurder is baie bedagsaam. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Lieflike goed ingerigte kothuis met asemrowende uitsig!

Perfekte plaas wegbreek naby aan George. Die kothuise is pragtig en gerieflik met prentjiemooi uitsigte. Veilige omgewing waar kinders kan baljaar en die buitelug geniet. Dat ons twee honde kinders kom saamkom was bonus!

Aangename aand daar deurgebring, alles goed toegerus en volledig, en baie netjies en skoon.

Dis ver om vanaf teerpad tot daar te ry, verkieslik met 'n SUV, maar die stedelinge sal seker hou van 'n wegbreek in die natuur. Ons het nie tyd gehad om die omgewing te verken nie, maar die wandelpaaie lyk aanloklik. Die akkommodasie self perfek.

Had a pleasant evening, everything was well-equipped and very neat and clean.

It is a long drive on the road, especially with a SUV, but the city folk will enjoy the break-away in nature. We didn't have time to explore the surroundings, but the walkways are very tempting. The accommodation is perfect.

Sielskos

As jy rustigheid vir jou siel soek is hierdie net die plek. Dankie tog daar is min selfoon opvangs, want dit laat jou toe om heeltemal af te skakel en die natuur en stilte in te drink. Zebra cottage it pragtig, dit is luuks met alles wat jy sou benodig. Dit was heerlik koud so 'n glasie wyn voor die kaggel was 'n groot bederf. Dankie aan die eienaars dat julle jul stukkie hemel met ons ander deel. Ons kan nie wag tot ons weer kan gaan nie!

Soul food

If you are looking for tranquility for your soul, this is just the place. Thank goodness there is little cell phone reception, because it allows you to switch off completely and drink in the nature and silence. Zebra cottage it beautiful, it is luxurious with everything you would need. It was deliciously cold so a glass of wine in front of the fireplace was a great treat. Thank you to the owners for sharing your piece of heaven with the rest of us. We can't wait until we can go again!

Dit was die perfekte, stil wegbreek.

Ons het in Zebra gebly. Die eienaars het werklik aan alles gedink. Die kaggel (insluitend die groot hoeveelheid hout) het gesorg vir 'n gesellige atmosfeer in die huisie. Die elektriese kombers en vere duvets was 'n groot pluspunt. Die stilte en natuurskoon was presies wat ons nodig gehad het. Jenga het ook gesorg vir verdere vermaak. Ons sal dit vir almal aanbeveel.

It was the perfect quiet getaway.

We stayed in Zebra. The owners really thought of everything. The fireplace (including the large amount of wood) ensured a cozy atmosphere in the cottage. The electric blanket and feather duvets were a big plus. The silence and scenery was exactly what we needed. Jenga also provided further entertainment. We would recommend it to everyone.
