Wat 'n unieke ervaring.

Wat 'n aangename verrassing en unieke ervaring was die Butlers Rail antieke treinwa. Die dekor komplimenteer steeds die outentieke styl van die treinwa. Die goeie gehalte linne, glase en koffiebekers was 'n groot pluspunt. Dit was een van ons mees unieke verblyfervarings. Die eienaars het 'n passie vir dit wat hulle doen. Dankie vir al die bederfgoedjies, beskuit en hout. Ons sien uit na die volgende besoek aan Butlers Rail en kan dié verblyfervaring met volle vertroue aanbeveel.

What a unique experience.

What a pleasant surprise and unique experience the Butlers Rail antique train car was. The decor still compliments the authentic style of the train car. The good quality linen, glasses and coffee mugs were a big plus. It was one of our most unique stay experiences. The owners have a passion for what they do. Thanks for all the treats, biscuits and wood. We look forward to the next visit to Butlers Rail and can recommend this accommodation experience with full confidence.

N ongelooflike ervaring.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike ervaring, om op 'n trein te slaap met 'n baie mooi uitsig op die natuur. Jakals se hoor en natuurlik plaasdiere. Die gasvrou ontvang jou vriendelik en wys met trots die pragtige trein wat so mooi in sy oorspronklike vorm behou is.

It was an incredible experience, to sleep on a train with a very beautiful view of nature. Jackals' hear and of course farm animals. The hostess receives you kindly and proudly shows the beautiful train that has been so beautifully preserved in its original form.

Fantastiese verblyf, herinneringe aan kinderjare se treinritte.

Unieke verblyf naby die N12. Treinwa is luuks ingerig met goeie kwaliteit beddegoed, handdoeke, lugreëling en alles wat jy nodig kan kry. Wonderlike plaaservaring, ons het die rustigheid geniet. Se groete vir Zulu, Biscuit en Sky.

Iets heeltemal anders. Neem 'n mens terug in die verlede. Heerlike oornag.

Dit was 'n heerlike en interessante oornagverblyf. Die gasvrou was vriendelik en het na elke behoefte van ons omgesien. Ons het dit baie geniet om weer in 'n outentieke treinwa te slaap, want as jongmense het ons baie trein gery. Wonderlike herinneringe! Die wa is keurig opgeknap en ingerig met alle moderne geriewe.

It was a lovely and interesting overnight stay. The hostess was friendly and looked after our every need. We really enjoyed sleeping in an authentic train car again, because as youngsters we traveled a lot by train. Wonderful memories! The wagon has been carefully renovated and furnished with all modern conveniences.

Lieflike plek om oor te bly. Rustigheid vanself op 'n plaas. Gasvrou gaan uit haar pad om jou tuis te laat voel. Sal definitief weer hier oorbly.

Wonderlik.

Ongelooflike ervaring, so bitter uniek. Baie mooi plaas en moes baie fotos neem om almal te wys. Slegs een voorstel nie kritiek nie. Ons het redelik laat daar aangekom en moes ietsie gaan soek om te eet. Ek het baie sleg gevoel om so laat in die aand te pla vir toegang tot die perseel. Moontlike oplossing is 'n hek met 'n kode, want ek weet gaste ry soms weg met 'n remote. Slegs 'n voorstel. Baie lekker gebly.

Wonderful.

Incredible experience, so bitterly unique. Very nice place and had to take a lot of photos to show everyone. Only one does not suggest criticism. We got there quite late and had to go find something to eat. I felt very bad for bothering to enter the premises so late at night. Possible solution is a gate with a code, because I know guests sometimes drive away with a remote. Only a suggestion. Very nice stay.

Lovely find. Children would love this experience.

We had a lovely two-night stay in this quaint accommodation concept. Host Deon is very affable and approachable, and added to our enjoyment by taking us on a sightseeing trip around his farm. We appreciated the air-conditioning, more so because this was solar powered. A note if you are two couples travelling together - there's not much privacy, so know each other well enough to be comfortable with that.

A special experience.

This is a special place, an old rail carriage (ex Drakensberg) has been converted into accommodation. It has 2 compartments with a double bed in each, a spacious sitting and eating area, a toilet, and a separate shower. Both sleeping compartments have a small sink. All in the original atmosphere of an old-fashioned train carriage. Our stay was very pleasant and quiet. The farm is situated next to the N12, and one can faintly hear the road traffic. For train enthusiasts, the bonus is to possibly hear and see a train go past. We were lucky to have seen the Rovos Rail going by.

Dit was vreeslik lekker. Die eienaars was ook so behulpsaam en baie aangenaam. Die kinders was excited en ons het baie lekker geslaap. Sal Butlersrail vir enige een aanbeveel.

Dit was so rustig en kon regtig lekker relax om die vuur en air. Dit het die hele treinwa lekker koud gemaak. Alles was daar wat ons nodig gehad het. 10 uit 10.
