Beautiful mountains, rivers, waterfalls and forests.

The main bedroom has a waterfall view. Epic fireplace inside with ample wood. Caught bass in the dam. Awesome place to get completely away from the rat race.

Mooi omgewing, huis kort aandag en skoonmaak.

Omgewing is baie mooi en rustig, huis is effens verwaarloos en kort bietjie aandag, maar het niks tekortgekom nie.

Nice environment, house needs attention and cleaning.

Surroundings are very beautiful and peaceful, house is slightly neglected and needs some attention, but nothing was lacking.

Baie lekker vakansie met asemrowende uitsigte!

Die ligging is perfek vir 'n rustige wegbreek in die mooi berge. Daar is genoeg mooi op die plaas dat jy nooit hoef rond te ry nie. Die huis is baie goed toegerus en presies wat mens kan verwag van 'n plaashuis (nie "fancy" nie, maar 'n lekker leefhuis). Daar is geen krag nie, maar die sonpanele hou die ligte aan en die gas-geiser en yskas-vriekas is baie gerieflik. Daar is baie stapplek op die plaas self - oor die berge en onder na die rivier toe. Merlyn is baie gaaf en behulpsaam. Ons beplan reeds nog 'n trippie om die natuurskoon in die somer ook te sien.

Very nice holiday with breathtaking views!

The location is perfect for a peaceful getaway in the beautiful mountains. There is enough beauty on the farm that you never have to drive around. The house is very well equipped and exactly what one can expect from a farmhouse (not "fancy", but a nice living house). There is no power, but the solar panels keep the lights on and the gas geyser and fridge-freezer are very convenient. There is plenty of walking on the farm itself - over the mountains and down to the river. Merlyn is very nice and helpful. We are already planning another trip to see the natural beauty in the summer as well.

Unhappy

I was not informed that you should not travel to this location with a sedan. That once you arrive you will not be near any shops. The roads are very bad to the nearest town - Himeville. Your sedan will get stuck on the driveway, and you will not be able to call for help as their is no cellphone reception so you will have to walk for about 4 km to the nearest farm. You might find shepherds along the way to assist you, but they will need to first attend to their cows before helping you.

Amazing place to get away.

Tired of your everyday tourist destination? This is an amazing place that hides you from the rest of the world and gives you time to reset. Highly recommend!

Rustigste 10 dae van ons lewens.

Ons het vanaf die 27 Desember 2016 tot en met die 5 Januarie 2017 by Bride's Veil Chalet tuisgegaan, wat 'n besondere belewenis om so na aan die natuur te kon lewe. Besonderse gasvryheid beleef van Merlyn en haar man. Ongerepte natuurskoon, een middag 'n Elandkoei en kalf amper oor ons stoep geloop vanuit die vallei bergop. Hier kan jy van tyd en mens vergeet en ontspan.

Most peaceful 10 days of our lives.

We stayed at Brides Veil Chalet from 27 December 2016 until 5 January 2017, and what an incredible experience to be able to be so close to nature. Exceptional hospitality from Merlyn and her husband. Undisturbed natural beauty, one afternoon an Eland cow and her calf almost walked over our veranda from the valley up the mountain. Here you forget about time and just relax.

Swak, het toe nie eers daar geslaap nie. Ek sal dit vir niemand aanbeveel nie.

Wat 'n teleurstelling! Ek sal niemand in so 'n vervalle en vuil plek laat bly nie! Het foto's om te bewys, vriende en familie kon hul oë nie glo wat hul op die foto's gesien het nie. Als is vervalle! Plek benodig 'n make-over, als kom uit Noag se Ark en is vuil! Plek buite in die natuur is mooi, dankie Here daarvoor! Ons het nie kans gesien om op daai vodde ou bed te slaap en banke te slaap/sit nie en het onmiddellik in ons kar geklim en huis toe gery. Hulle behoort skaam te kry.

Bad, didn't even sleep there. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

It was a disappointment! I wouldn't let anyone stay in such a rundown and dirty place! Have photos to prove it, friends and family couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the photos. Everything is rundown! Place needs a makeover, everything comes from Noah's ark and is dirty! Out in nature it is beautiful, thank goodness! We didn't want to sleep on that old bed and to sit/sleep on the coaches and immediately got in our car and went home. They should be ashamed.
