Beautiful area but too off grid for us!

Hi Rolien, we are glad that you enjoyed the beautiful setting and nature all around.
People love to get away from it all, especially nature lovers, but we can understand if it is too off-grid for you. As indicated, it is a plunge pool, not a normal swimming pool, and often our guests swim in the farm dam filled with fountain water. The absence of microwaves and hair dryers is clearly communicated with our confirmation email well before arrival.
As for communication, should you need help, WiFi is available a short drive or walk from Pomegranate at the entrance to the kloof. We have accommodated multiple families with children who absolutely loved the setting and surroundings and had the best time exploring and having fun.
Blessings

Most beautiful house among the trees that seriously needs attention.
Baboons Gift is the most beautiful house with the nicest porch in the trees, but the place needs serious maintenance and a good cleaning. It is raining inside on the bed and on the table on the stoep because leaks. The gas geyser needs a good service and so does the power system. There are bugs that have nested in that thatched roof and are crawling out everywhere. Fortunately, I brought Doom with me. The bathroom almost had a bug carpet, so many there were. If the roof is redone, the geyser and power system are serviced, and the place is well scrubbed, I will go again. Very helpful, but could only do so much about the power and geyser. I didn't stay my 3rd night because I didn't want a cold shower and the power system screaming all night.

Beautiful scenery, but house dilapidated and not clean. Disappointing.
I would like to recommend it because the setting is beautiful, but the house is dilapidated and a safety risk. Doorknobs are broken, chairs are broken, boards are broken from liners and a big risk if you step on them. The scenery is beautiful, but the house needs serious renovation and therefore it is not worth the money. My friends were disappointed.

Underwhelming. Would not return.
Buitenstekloof Pomegranate Homestead 's response
Thank you for your review, Yolanda. Our nature-loving guests love the beautiful setting in the mountains and especially getting away from cell reception, to really switch off, relax and connect with each other. We have never found frogs in the homestead. The homestead was thoroughly cleaned the morning before your arrival, but as it was raining the whole weekend, an odd spider might have found refuge to escape the rain. We always ask our guests to let us know as soon as they have a problem or need assistance, so that we can address and solve the problem as soon as possible. We hope you enjoyed your complimentary bottles of wine. Blessings, Marié.

Very quiet and nice barbecue on the outdoor barbecue and stoep - a winner.
Very peaceful and an ideal place to get away from everything - cell phones, TV, etc. However, the gas geyser and shower need very urgent attention. As requested, we did not go to the geyser at all, but could only enjoy a hot shower once for about 40 seconds during the three days' stay. The geyser turns on but does not go above 18C. The gas stove also takes a lifetime to boil just two cups of water.

Totally what we didn't expect.
Although the place is beautiful and remote, everything is nice clean and tidy in the cottage, it was disappointing to see that the photos on the website did not correspond at all to how it really was. If you hear about a mountain pool that is 10 meters from your house, you assume it is a pool for children. Not to mention the beautiful photos that are on the website of children frolicking on the river with a canoe, they do not exist at all. Would recommend the place for a honeymoon couple, but not at all for a family with children. The description since there is a "goodie-bag" waiting for all guests in the cottage, they forget to say that you have to pay for the items you use.

Lovely old farm house with tons of character.
We had a wonderful time at Pomegranate Cottage. My only criticism would be to provide a few battery lights that have already been charged. The power goes off pretty early and if we didn't bring our own lights, we would be immersed in darkness. The shower heads should also be looked at and beds are fairly old, but one expects that of that old farmhouse. Apart from the above, people are very friendly, the house is clean and tidy and is the ideal getaway from city life with no cellphone signal, electricity, etc.

There are a few things that I just bring to management's attention. 1. The fire extinguisher was serviced 6 years ago and was placed in the wrong place. Rear front door to bracket would be more obtainable. 2. The surface of cement is tough and sticks well. Especially where there is dust. 3. A fly stick will come in handy. I don't believe anyone packs fly killer. 4. Curtain at the shower window is a must please. Furthermore, it is very nice to visit there.

There are no signs to indicate where to turn off, because almost damaging the vehicle to drive through thorn branches. You have beautiful pictures of water and people rowing and those are facilities we paid for, then there is no water. It's unethical and false marketing, you should put a sign to say there is no water in the pond.

Beautiful scenery. Not suited for weekend accommodation.
Yes, I can recommend it for the scenery, but I wouldn't recommend it for a whole weekend. Battery power is not sufficient. Winter months are very cold to shower. Shower is too big and open with gas geyser that is still struggling to keep up. Don't think it was worth the price. Kitchen door in kitchen fell off. Old curtains. Not much effort and time or money was spent on the place. Luckily we just slept there and were out all day, otherwise I didn't know how the solar panels and gas would keep up.

The location was beautiful, but the accommodation was disappointing.
Unfortunately there were a few jackals that spoiled the weekend. The roof leaks in various places in the cottage. On the first night only the bedroom and bathroom had working lights. The curtains in the room fell of many times. The bedroom does not have a door, which makes the room cold and if there is more people it leaves a privacy issue. The bathroom has two uncovered windows, which makes it uncomfortable. On a positive note, the location is exceptional, especially if one wants to climb the mountain tops in the moonlight.

Bathroom and shower did not look/feel clean. No curtain. I couldn't take a shower because maybe I didn't understand how to use the gas, but every time I turn on the cold tap to regulate the water, the gas goes off. Struggled a lot and then left. The roof was leaking and water was on my wife's feet, soaking wet, then had to make other plans.

Waarde vir geld in 'n ongekunstelde natuurlike omgewing.
Vanaf ons bespreking tot ons vertrek het ons 'n uitstekende tydjie gehad, selfs met die gemiddelde temperatuur wat 37° was. Ons het darem oorleef met koeldrank, ys en waatlemoen. Ons het in Witkruis gebly, wat goed genoeg vir ons was, die stort en gastoestelle werk goed en 'n bonus, wat die ander kothuise nie het nie, is die asemrowende alom-uitsig oor die bergreekse. Die toegangspad, 'n enkelpad, is in 'n goeie toestand met aftrekplekke om ander voertuie verby te laat gaan. Aangesien dit die feesseisoen was, was inkopies in Robertson nogal 'n ervaring (lees nagmerrie). Die hike na die waterval is 'n moet en 40% van die roete is onder skadubome deur. Daar is nie selfoonsein nie, so jy kan nie heeldag vasgegom aan jou skerm sit nie, en net die natuur en stilte eerder geniet. Ons gaan binnekort teruggaan en sal vriende en familie na die Homestead neem. Dankie aan Johan en Marie vir die pragtige wegbreek-venue wat hulle voorsien en in stand hou.

We were quite disappointed with our accommodation at Rooipensie. The accommodation was booked for 4, but 2 people shared the queen-size bed while the 2 other guests had to share a sleeper couch in the lounge. There was bedding for the couch. We only got 1 roll of toilet paper for 4 people for 2 nights! There's solar power, but the light went off after 20 minutes after sunset and only 2 candles were provided (which were burned down by the end of the first evening). The geyser just heated some of the time and sometime not at all. There was no hot water the later morning! We had to pour river water in the toilet bowl to flush it and brush our teeth with bottled water. Extremely disappointing experience.

Accommodation was not what we expected.
The surroundings are picturesque. We stayed in the Baboons Gift Cottage because we are a family of 5. We were disappointed by 1 bedroom with a double bed and a single bed and sofa bed in a very small living area/kitchen. We had to make the single bed ourselves. The sofa bed's 2 mattresses did not fit, so our little girl had to sleep on the mattress on the floor. There was only 1 duvet and 2 blankets available for our 3 children. The second night the guests next door lent us blankets. Only 4 chairs at the counter where we had to eat and because the freezer only had seating for 3. My boys had to sit on the mattress and eat. It's a beautiful little cottage in a very beautiful setting, but way too small for 5 people, as advertised. It's ideal for only 2 people like the cottage next door (which is exactly the same size). With a mattress on the floor, a sofa bed that we had to move so that everything would fit, there was little room to move. And because it was very cold, it was difficult. Fortunately we were there very little because sports commitments.

Nie weer nie. Ligte werk nie, een cottage geen warm water of yskas nie.

Not again. Lights don't work, one cottage no hot water or fridge.
Even though I knew there is no electricity, lights and hot water are promised. The lights worked for exactly 20 minutes and then not anymore, even if you plug the red wire in during the day to charge. No extra candles are even provided. One can not even call because there is no cellphone signal and if your cellphone is dead you can't charge it. The people who were there with us only stayed 2 out of the 3 nights en then decided to drive back to Pretoria. Kitchenware and furniture are in a poor condition. Not even a plug for the basin in the bathroom.

Die plek is vuil en was geensins gediens nie.

The place is dirty and was not serviced in any way.
They confuse rustic with dirty and poor workmanship, wiring hanging from walls everywhere. It is in no way worthy of your name.

Peace for the soul
If you miss the peace and quiet of the old farm house then this place is made for you, if you just want to chill on the patio the entire day. The kitchen area can do with a good spring cleaning. The mountain pool is overgrown and the dam has been taken over by the waterblommetjies. The walking trails aren't indicated clearly at the start and is also overgrown.

The peace and quiet and privacy is indescribable.
The tranquility of nature between the mountains is wonderful, but the cottages and the surroundings haven't had any attention in a while. The fridge was out of order, the hot water only works now and then and the sink's tap leaked continuously. The rock pool looks like something out of a horror film and the dam is completely taken over by pondweed and the cano is leaking. You will only be able to take on the walking trail if you have a panga and an axe. The photos in the advertisement is very misleading, because it is not what it looks like now at all. With a little work and attention, the Buitenstekloof Cottages will be a fantastic destination and I will definitely want to go back for a visit.

Peaceful.
Everything was lovely in the bush and nice and peaceful, but the Baboon Cottage is definitely not equipped for 4 adults as advertised! There was little water when we were there, so we weren't able to swim.
