Uit ʼn ander wêreld, nedisyne vir die siel.

Ons verblyf was uit ʼn ander wêreld, die stilte en natuur was iets wat mens net van hoor, maar nooit self deel van is - tot ons hier gekuier het. Sal ons weer gaan? As ons kon, sou ons elke maand daarnatoe gaan.

Peaceful and romantic getaway for a couple.

Cederkloof definitely lives up to what is advertised. I have not been to any other place so quiet, private, and peaceful. The sweet-smelling air, the singing birds, and the privacy make for an idyllic retreat with a partner.

Rustig, lekker en ontspanne.

Ons het dit baie geniet om daar die naweek te spandeer. Die jacuzzi het gewerk en was vir ons aangesit voor ons opgedaag het. Daar is aircon in die eenhede en dit het ons gered, want dit kan baie warm word in daai gebied.

Overall bad experience. I also.

This place has an amazing concept and with the jacuzzi makes this place ideal for a lovely relaxation stay. Unfortunately for us, we found a mouse in cottage 1, alerted Alex, he didn't seem too concerned. He searched for the mouse briefly, to no avail. I think this made us rather uncomfortable throughout the stay. I wish we could have been moved to maybe a different cottage if there was one available. On our first night the heating system was not working at all and on the second day, Alex seemed to have just cleaned the dust off the filters, which I think should have been done prior and the heating system checked before we checked in. We had a faulty wine opener, no wine glasses to use and the general cleanliness of the place was poor, including the bathrooms. I understand the rustic look is what you are going for but I feel just basic cleanliness is necessary. Lastly, I think at least 1 bag of firewood needs to be included on day one then additional to be charged. Unfortunately, we stayed over when the temperatures were extremely low and needed at least 2 bags of firewood on the first night. Luckily I had ordered prior, otherwise we would have been extremely cold. Also, please recommend the use of SUV/4X4 cars for the area.

Lovely anniversary stay with our little Yorkie.

We had a lovely stay at Cederkloof. When we arrived, the jacuzzi was ice cold, but we managed to get hold of the manager and he adjusted the temperature for us to warm up the jacuzzi. The cottage was also not ready at 14:00 for check-in due to a late check-out by the previous guests, but we were not informed about this beforehand. The place is very clean, it is perfect for a couple and has all the goodies you need for a short stay. The nature is beautiful and it is pet friendly, which we enjoyed with our little Yorkie. There are a lot of mosquitoes. We got quite bitten and we had no repellant. Please take your Peaceful Sleep spray with you. The emails to the bookings email take a while to respond, but eventually, they do respond. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and braais on the stoep. We had a lovely anniversary celebration despite all the mosquito bites LOL. The WiFi only worked on the first day. The second day we had no WiFi.

Extremely disappointing, not what you expect going by the website.

We were extremely disappointed with Cederkloof Botanical Retreat. We were 10 people on a cycling trip. We arrived to find construction work taking place, no lights working, no management to assist on site, power off due to damaged cables, eventually sorted after many phone calls. Still a temporary unsafe connection left. Rooms were dark and dingy, two of the five rooms were interleading without en suite so the occupants of one had to wake the occupants of the other if they wanted to access the bathroom! My room at the back of the house was dark and damp, with only one measly light, no bedside lights, bathroom flooded when it rained, access door jammed so we had to access the house via another bedroom. The outside couches on the verandah were wet and falling apart. Generally, the house is in a state of disrepair and not what you see on the website.

Cederkloof Botanical Retreat 's response

Hi, many thanks for this feedback. With the extraordinary amount of rain Citrusdal has received, breaking the 100-year record, for the first time ever the water levels at the resort rose to a new high, causing extra maintenance. Being cut off from Citrusdal due to the Olifants River that blocked the town, it was a complicated week of getting maintenance done and electricians to the resort as everything was cut off and the transport of suppliers and staff was extremely complicated. Our manager was on site during your stay as per the hot tub that we made ready for you after your cycling. We are truly sorry that you arrived at one of our most difficult times and could not enjoy the rest and calmness that the resort has to offer. All maintenance has been done and repaired since your visit.

Baie cozy en gerieflik.

Dit was baie lekker en goed ingerig. Net 'n voorstel is dat mens vooraf in kennis gestel word van watter eenheid joune is. Ons het gesukkel om te weet waar om in te check en die sein is sleg totdat mens die WiFi kan aansit om die regte persoon te kontak.

'n Heerlike wegbreekgeleentheid.

Ons huisie was baie oulik, netjies en keurig gemeubileer. Soggens en in die namiddag kon ons die heerlike geur van lemoenbloeisels geniet terwyl ons in die jacuzzi ontspan het. Ons foxterrier het net so baie van die plek gehou, veral wanneer ons die staproetes aangedurf het. Ons beplan om binnekort weer daar 'n draai te maak.

Dit was baie lekker.

Ek sal net verkies dat die rooster vir braai and die pot wat buite was, skoongemaak word. Ek sou ook voorstel dat die borrelbad meer private gemaak word. Die plekkie langs aan se parkering kyk reg op die stoep, so dalk 'n hek/deur op sit.

Jy is tussen die pragtige berge rondom jou en die natuur se stilte. Die voëllewe is volop en ons het soggens en smiddae hulle dopgehou terwyl ons braai op die stoep.

Die huisie se meubels kort aandag. Daar was ook nie braaihout en ys met aankoms nie. Eienaar geensins met ons gekommunikeer nie. Alexander was egter daar en kon ons inlig om hout en ys te koop.

Werklike verwyder van die alledaagse gewoel.

Cederkloof was vir ons werklik 'n heerlike paar dae in die berge tussen sitrusboorde. Heeltemal verwyder van die alledaagse gewoel. Groot verskydenheid voëllewe ook te sien. Naby genoeg om van daar af daguitstappies te doen na die Stadsaal-grotte en om by die padstalle allerlei eetgoed te kan koop. Die huisies is goed ingerig met elkeen sy eie borrelbad. Ons wil graag erkenning gee aan Allexander die bestuurder. Hy gee werklik om vir sy gaste en is altyd vriendelik!

Real removed from the everyday hustle and bustle.

Cederkloof was a really lovely few days for us in the mountains among citrus groves. Completely removed from the everyday hustle and bustle. Great variety of bird life to see too. Close enough to make day trips from there to the Stadsaal caves and to be able to buy all kinds of food at the paddocks. The cottages are well furnished, each with its own hot tub. We would like to acknowledge Alexander the manager. He really cares about his guests and is always friendly!

Overall stay was good, however the Owner was very rude and disrespectful.

We got married the Saturday and left for the retreat Sunday afternoon for a quick honeymoon getaway. We travelled from Cape Town and got to the retreat just after 21:00. There is no mobile signal on the retreat and it was also load shedding when we got there. As the booking page does not specify which unit our stay was in, we figured we'd pull up to reception and find out. It was already dark so visibility was poor. I pulled up to reception and knocked on the door with no response. The manager on duty's phone number was on the door but as mentioned there was no mobile signal at the retreat. After exhausting all options I decided to hoot to get someone's attention. We were really just trying to get to our unit. The owner comes out of the house basically yelling at me as I tried to explain to her that I knocked, there was no signal, visibility is poor, and the website did not specify which unit to go to (and even if it did, I still wouldn't have found the unit as visibility was poor). I asked her politely to calm down because we just trying to get to our place. The disrespect towards me was unreal. I've booked on the website many times before, and not once was I disrespected in this manner. She rudely told me that her kids are sleeping and there are other guests. We were also guests and we just got there and that was the welcome we received. The manager then showed up and she rudely told the manager, "Alexander speak to these people!" as if we were trash. So now hear me out, it is not in my nature to be hooting in front of people's places, that was honestly the last resort. You are in the hospitality industry and your booking in times are from 14:00 to 122:00. We got there before 22:00, so we expected to be assisted upon arrival. The rudeness and disrespect from this owner was unreal. The manager then escorted us to our unit. The manager was very friendly. Everything about this place was absolutely amazing, we enjoyed our honeymoon. So my advice, before you hit the gravel road to the retreat there's a phone number on the board. Call and ask to speak to Alexander (the manager). Do this before you turn right into the retreat, as mentioned there's no signal. Have Alexander await you upon arrival so that you avoid interaction with the extremely rude owner at all cost. She should be ashamed of herself. Small-town mentality looking down on other people. Ms owner, I really hope you read this review, your attitude stinks and you have no way to speak to people.

The stay was good and relaxing, lovely place to go.

I saw the manager who saw us on a few occasions, never even greeted us, nobody did, except the cleaning lady going to the other units. I know there was a wedding on Easter weekend and they were busy but a hello and welcome would have been acceptable. We sent Thomas a WhatsApp to ask if large dogs were allowed in the pool, but did not get an answer. There was a gent, his 2 daughters and this large retriever who all jumped in the pool and it was not pleasant, the dog would come to you and the hair was in the pool and lots of splashing, it happened one day.

It's changed.

The location is amazing and the views are just what we wanted. Unfortunately, small things were noticed to have changed from our previous stay and this is down to the change of ownership. Upon arrival, there was no wood to braai as promised when booking, this is no longer part of the booking agreement but we were never informed. We had to ask for items like glasses that were not available. The braai grid was filthy having not been cleaned, areas of the house had been superficially cleaned but were still not 100%. The jacuzzi was ok but took a very long time to heat and had a leak that caused it to lose water all the time. We had a lovely time but felt disappointed by these little issues that are not expected due to the high pricing of the house. We hope that the new ownership will look into the above and improve. We have been to the retreat multiple times and have always been extremely happy and have never had the above issues.

Ligging mooi, maar netheid nie so wonderlik nie.

Dis 'n baie mooi area, maar dit was nie baie skoon nie. Die aircon wou nie koud maak nie en toe my man die filters uithaal, was dit niks minder as aaklig vuil nie. Al die potte moes ons weer was voor ons dit kon gebruik. Die bed is ook nie onlangs weggeskuif en skoon gemaak nie. Gasbottel was leeg en die twee sakke hout wat hulle sê beskikbaar sal wees, was ook nie daar nie. Toe ek bel om uit te vind, het hul my vertel dis R50 'n sakkie hout. Jacuzzi was darem mooi skoon en in werkende toestand gewees.

Location nice, but cleanliness not so great.

It's a very nice area, but it wasn't very clean. The aircon wouldn't cool and when my husband took out the filters, it was nothing less than horribly dirty. We had to wash all the pots again before we could use them. The bed has not been moved and cleaned recently either. Gas bottle was empty and the two bags of wood they say will be available were not there either. When I called to find out, they told me it was R50 a bag of wood. At least Jacuzzi was clean and in working condition.

Ligging en fasiliteite baie nice. Privaatheid en deurgee van inligting pateties.

Ons was 'n groot groep en wou almal saam bly. Daarom het ons die opstal bespreek. Gedurende hierdie tydperk was daar permanente beweging van staff wat in en uitklok om goedere te kom haal of wegsit. Hierdie in en uit by ons blyplek was sonder waarskuwing of bespreking. Gedurende tye waar daar gebraai word, stap staff deur ons gesprek om by uit te kom waar hulle moet wees. Hierdie was glad nie aan ons deurgegee nie en het baie ongemaklikheid veroorsaak. As ons bewus was dit die geval gaan wees sou ons dit nooit bespreek het nie. As jy op 'n webreek gaan verwag jy privaatheid en rustigheid. Die aanduidings was ook swak. Daar was meer as 6/7 gaste wat by ander huisies gebly het op die perseel wat gedink het die Opstal was die reception. Dus het hulle aan ons deure geklop of net ingeloop om in te check of om ys en hout te koop. Ons wat ook daar is vir 'n wegbreek moes aan hulle dan verduidelik hoe om te werk te gaan. Die Opstal is 'n unieke eenheid en bied baie maar die bestuur daarvan is 'n groot vraagteken. Dit het veroorsaak dat ons ongemaklik is en nie kon ontspan soos ons verwag het nie. Dit het jou ook soms onveilig laat voel want daar is heeltyd mense in en uit wat jy geen idee van het nie.

Location and facilities very nice. Privacy and passing on information pathetic.

We were a big group and all wanted to stay together. That's why we booked the homestead. During this period there was permanent movement of staff checking in and out to collect or put away goods. This in and out of our place of residence was without warning or reservation. During roasting times, staff walk through our conversation to get to where they need to be. This was not passed on to us at all and caused a lot of discomfort. If we had known this was going to be the case we would never have discussed it. When you go on a web break you expect privacy and tranquility. The indications were also poor. There were more than 6/7 guests staying at other cottages on site who thought the Homestead was the reception. So they knocked on our doors or just walked in to check in or to buy ice and wood. We who are also there for a break then had to explain to them how to proceed. The Homestead is a unique unit and offers a lot but its management is a big question mark. This caused us to be uncomfortable and unable to relax as we expected. It also made you feel unsafe at times because there are people in and out all the time that you have no idea about.

Peace and serenity and a moderately challenging hike.

We had a blissful and relaxing stay, disconnected from the world. We were upgraded to the 'honeymoon cottage' due to a double booking. Please upgrade the honeymoon cottage. It is decidedly unromantic in its layout! Allowing pets in a 'botanical retreat' is questionable, as one expects pristine nature. Ditto the cat/dog hair on the blankets? I would also lose the TV. The cottages are perfectly equipped with everything needed for a comfortable visit. Just enjoy the silence.

Had a fantastic time on a 3 night stay.

We stayed at cottage number 10, beds were warm and good quality bedding, air conditioning in each bedroom if needed, no indoor fireplace in this cottage but we were not cold. Fresh coffee beans and grinder for early morning coffee watching the birds as we sat on the stoop, even had 2 woodpeckers on a tree close by. Nice 7 km hike up around the mountains and shorter walks to do also. We will come back and maybe try the hot tub next time. We could not find a corkscrew to open wine but we always travel prepared so it was not a problem for us, a few more wine glasses would help there were only 3 white wine glasses and one was cracked. Flowers in the rooms a nice touch, building renovations going on did not disturb us at all, these things have to be done and I think it will be worth a second visit when complete. The hot tub was ready to use even though we did not ask for it to be, Freddy was as helpful as he could be telling us about the hikes although a map would be a plus in the time to come. Very quiet, peaceful place and lots of night stars.

Was baie lekker en rustig. Die omgewing is pragtig en die huisie goed toegerus.

Is 'n rustige omgewing waar mens goed kan rus in die pragtige omgewing. Die stap roete was goeie oefening met 'n baie mooi uitsig. Die roete-bordjies aan die begin kort dalk net weer so bietjie 'n verf, maar met al die klipbakens het ons die pad heel goed gevind. Ek dink ook net dit sal dalk nice wees om dalk iemand te ontmoet wat daar werk. Dit was heel fine met ons om direk na die huisie toe te beweeg en weer ook so net uit te gaan, maar soms soek mens net daai aanrakingspunt met die mense by wie jy 'n plek huur. Maar verder was ons verblyf baie lekker en die rus was goed gewees. Baie dankie.

Was very nice and peaceful. The surroundings are beautiful and the cottage well equipped.

Is a peaceful environment where one can rest well in the beautiful surroundings. The walking route was good exercise with a very nice view. The trail signs at the beginning might just need a little paint, but with all the stone beacons we found the way very well. I also just think it might be nice to maybe meet someone who works there. It was very fine with us to move directly to the house and go out again, but sometimes you just look for that point of contact with the people you rent a place from. But otherwise our stay was very nice and the rest was good. Thank you very much.

Great getaway for a short weekend in nature.

The cottage is the perfect size for a couple to relax and enjoy a weekend in nature. The stars were incredible - and even better when viewed from the jacuzzi. There are a few hiking trails that are well marked and a great activity for any skill level. There might be an event venue because we could hear music and partying on Friday night, but that was over by 23:00 and the rest of our stay was quiet and relaxing - great for reading and spending quality time together.

Baie mooi omgewing en cottages is baie privaat, netjies en skoon. Oor die algemeen 'n lekker ervaring, maar daar is definitief 'n paar verbeteringe wat gemaak kan word om die gaste se ervaring nog lekkerder te maak.

Soos genoem is ons ervaring oor die algemeen lekker gewees, maar ek wil graag 'n paar voorstelle maak. Bespreking: Die bespreking/foto's is misleidend omdat ek gedink het ek het 'n sekere eenheid geboek, maar toe 'n ander eenheid gegee is 'n paar dae voor die bespreking. Ek was baie ongelukkig omdat ek juis 'n ander eenheid as nr 9 wou gehad het a.g.v. persoonlike redes (het al voorheen in die eenheid gebly). Dit sal lekker wees soos by ander plekke waar jy 'n sekere eenheid bespreek (met sekere views, om nie elke keer in dieselfde eenheid te bly nie, ens.). Ook, ek het redelik min informasie ontvang in die tyd voor ons datums van verblyf (watter eenheid is vir jou geboek, waar om sleutel en hout te kry, aanwysings, ens. maar soos ander plekke dit doen). Hout: Dit sal baie lekker wees as daar klaar een of twee sakke hout beskikbaar is by die eenheid met aankoms (as mens laat in die donker aankom wil ons nie 'n werker gaan soek by die tente nie). Die hout is ook baie duur as mens dit vergelyk met ander soortgelyke plekke. Badkamers by die swembad: Dit sou lekker wees as die badkamers by die swembad oopgesluit was. Jacuzzi: Dit sou lekker wees om die jacuzzi se temperatuur te stel, raak te warm as dit aan bly vir die borrels. Ander: Braairooster en wynoopmaker was gebreek.

Very nice surroundings and cottages are very private, neat and clean. Overall a nice experience, but there are definitely some improvements that could be made to make the guests' experience even better.

As mentioned, our experience was generally pleasant, but I would like to make a few suggestions. Booking: The booking/photos are misleading as I thought I had booked a certain unit but was given a different unit a few days before the booking. I was very unhappy because I wanted a unit other than No. 9 because personal reasons (have stayed in the unit before). It would be nice like at other places where you book a certain unit (with certain views, not staying in the same unit every time, etc.). Also, I received quite a bit of information in the time before our dates of stay (which unit was booked for you, where to get key and wood, directions, etc. but as other places do). Wood: It would be very nice if there were already one or two bags of wood available at the unit upon arrival (if you arrive late in the dark we don't want to go looking for a worker at the tents). The wood is also very expensive when compared to other similar places. Bathrooms at the pool: It would be nice if the bathrooms at the pool were unlocked. Jacuzzi: It would be nice to be able to set the jacuzzi's temperature, it gets too hot if it stays on for the bubbles. Other: Grill and wine opener were broken.

Okay.

Some cockroaches and had a fly problem, had to purchase my own insect killer. My cottage jacuzzi was not as private as I would have liked. One shower drain was a little blocked. Front door did not close flush. No one at reception to welcome or take to flat or advise how things worked. No one at reception the whole weekend. Jacuzzi was too hot to use first night.

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for your taking the time to write a Review, you were very un-sure from the Tuesday when I received your 1st call, and I did explain to you how things work with COVID and our Protocol with the Check inn, should I haven't done that I would have understand, given such a review , after we arranged everything for you, everyday new towels, black bag everything you asked for we did that for you. I even brought you some candles the Friday evening for the flies.

I am very sorry that you experienced Cederkloof in such a way you are describing it to be.

Once again we take everything in consideration and will always improve our Standards.

Ongelooflik.

Dis rustig en privaat, natuur is beeldskoon. Die huisie was ruim, hoë plafonne, bed en beddegoed was hoë gehalte. Die feit dat daar geen sein is nie, is 'n pluspunt. Hulle het die slaapbank opgemaak vir my kinders, wat regtig lekker was. Borrelbad was aan toe ons daar aankom, wat 'n bederf. Ons sal verseker terug wees. Een van my gunsteling plekke waar ek al ooit gebly het. 4 klein voorstelle: ons het geen skêr of haardroër gesien in die huisie nie. Miskien kan daar ook swem handdoeke vir die borrelbad wees en 'n badmatjie, want die vloere kan glibberig wees met die in en uit spring uit die Jacuzzi.

Unbelievable.

It's peaceful and private, nature is beautiful. The cottage was spacious, high ceilings, bed and bedding were of high quality. The fact that there is no signal is a plus. They made up the sofa bed for my kids, which was really nice. Hot tub was on when we got there, what a treat. We will be back for sure. One of my favorite places I've ever stayed. 4 small suggestions: we didn't see any scissors or hair dryer in the cottage. Maybe there could also be swimming towels for the hot tub and a bath mat, because the floors can be slippery with jumping in and out of the Jacuzzi.

Die perfekte wegbreek.

Cederkloof is die perfekte wegbreek as jy wil wegkom van die geraas. Jy kan jouself besig hou met staproetes op die perseel of jy kan net op die stoep sit en voëlkyk. Die jacuzzi is gereed wanneer jy daar aankom, en jy kan sommer dadelik begin ontspan. Daar is nie sein by die huisies nie, so jy kan behoorlik afskakel. En as jy regtig die buitewêreld moet kontak is daar WiFi by ontvangs. Baie dankie aan Anja, Yvette en die span! Ons sal beslis terug wees!

The perfect getaway.

Cederkloof is the perfect getaway if you want to get away from the noise. You can keep yourself busy with hiking trails on the premises or you can just sit on the porch and bird watch. The jacuzzi is ready when you get there, and you can start relaxing right away. There is no signal at the cottages, so you can switch off properly. And if you really need to contact the outside world there is WiFi at reception. Many thanks to Anja, Yvette and the team! We will definitely be back!

Natuurskoon, skoon en netjies.

Ons was aangenaam verras deur die oord. Beeldskone natuur met ongelooflike natuurlike tuine en sterreprag snags. Die huis was pragtig skoon en alle creature comforts was beskikbaar. Ook die eerste plek waar ons ordentlike wyn- en koeldrankglase gekry het. Komplimentêre koffiebone en rooibostee word voorsien in die huis. Die jacuzzi op die stoep is heerlik. Die diens en gasvryheid is noememswaardig. Dit was heerlik om ons hond te kon saamneem waar so so welkom was. Die onthaallokaal met swembad is prentjiemooi vir ‘n mediumgrootte-funksie. Mens kan vir ure gaan stap, ons het ook gestap tussen die sitrusboorde. Ons sal vir seker teruggaan.

We were pleasantly surprised by the resort. Picturesque nature with incredible natural gardens and starry night. The house was beautifully clean and all creature comforts were available. Also the first place we got decent wine and soda glasses. Complimentary coffee beans and rooibos tea are provided in the house. The jacuzzi on the veranda is lovely. The service and hospitality are noteworthy. It was lovely to be able to take our dog with us where it was so welcome. The reception room with swimming pool is picture-perfect for a medium-sized function. You can walk for hours, we also walked between the citrus groves. We will go back for sure.

Daar was effe verwarring oor die kostes van die Jacuzzi. Het toe op die ou end nie ekstra betaal vir die gebruik van Jacuzzi nie. Ons het baie gehou van die ethos van Cederkloof, kon wel nie lekker die herwinningsprojekte ondersteun nie - slegs een vuilgoeddrom en wou nie herwinning los buite laat rondlê nie.

This is a perfect getaway to help unwind from the day to day city life. The tranquility and calmness was amazing to just switch off from the rest of the world for a few days.

Lovely location and the cottage (the honeymoon suite in our case) is well stocked with most necessities.

However a little TLC is required in order to fully provide the accommodation expected. Examples are outside light hanging by its wire, badly warped metal grate in inside fireplace. The previous guests had broken the bottom bottle shelf in the fridge and as we were 4 adults and 2 infants, we really needed something a little bigger. I called Anya and she arranged rapid delivery of a replacement fridge within a couple of hours. Very impressive service!

Die ligging is asemrowend. Maar die huisie se badkamer laat veel te wense.

Ons het in Kothuis 2 gebly en die stort se mure was so morsig vuil. Die badkamer se mure aan die onderkant makeer n verf/teëls want dis ook vuil. Ek weet dis n landelike gebied maar die vlieë was so oorweldigend. Geen doom of insekdoder beskikbaar. Die skoonmakers het vergeet van ons, ons moes toe self skoon handdoeke en toiletpapier gaan haal by die kantoor. Geen WiFi beskikbaar in die kothuis nie, so enige iets wat jy benodig moet jy na die kantoor ry want daar is ook geen sein.

The location is breathtaking. But the cottage's bathroom leaves much to be desired.

We stayed in Cottage 2 and the shower walls were so messy and dirty. The bathroom's walls at the bottom need some paint/tiles because they are also dirty. I know it's a rural area but the flies were so overwhelming. No doom or insecticide available. The cleaners forgot about us, so we had to fetch clean towels and toilet paper from the office ourselves. No WiFi available in the cottage, so anything you need you have to drive to the office as there is no signal either.

If you like to spend time outdoors and love fynbos, then this is the place to go to. There are beautiful hiking trails and a labyrinth. The jacuzzi on your doorstep, is relaxing and refreshing.

Sad but true.

The first evening we did not have a working jacuzzi, the facilities didn’t have wine glasses (probably because of the jacuzzi and people breaking it? Perhaps plastic?) and the wood was wet so had to make alternative plans for food. I appreciate that Eskom told them that power will be out until 6pm, due to repairs to the power station - also just a little strange that exactly the same excuse was used last time we visited. The facilities are getting a bit run down and dirty looking. Door handles are grubby, top of the fridge is sticky-dusty so are the window sills. The bed is clean and comfortable. That’s probably what counts. The dishes were not dried off, plates still had water in them and were put away wet. The toilet kept on running as it’s leaking and is rather noisy when trying to sleep. The valve doesn’t turn off even if you turn the tap closed. The place is perfectly functional but it’s not what it used to be. The garden has grown beautifully and I wish the rooms reflected the same magnificence as the garden of late. Perhaps some care would do the trick.

Cederkloof Botanical Retreat 's response

Dear Willem.
The power outages are debilitating to businesses as you might know. To say that we use it as an excuse does not make any sense, but it is also incorrect. We contacted you more than 24 hours before your arrival that there was a scheduled power interruption due to maintenance by Eskom. This interruption ended within an hour of your arrival and the correction seems to have eliminated non-load shedding interruptions in power on the line that serves our immediate area.
Our cottages are stocked with stemless and high-quality wine glasses, same as our whiskey and beer glasses, and are chosen above-stemmed wine glasses due to the danger of breakages around the pool.
We have been doing and will continue to do upgrades and maintenance to our cottages for your peace and comfort. My sincere apologies if there were details unattended to in your unit, we will take steps to correct those.
Warm regards
Yvette

The cleanliness of the unit can be improved. Daily servicing of the unit does not take place as advertised (one needs to request in advance if required) the administration that goes with the request is not simple and easy, as there is no phone signal at the unit.

Scenically beautiful and peaceful location.

Although everyone's needs and expectations are different, but this was the perfect place for us. We enjoy the outdoors, nature and peace and quite and this place has it all. As a specialist on Cape botany, I can only congratulate you on your indigenous garden and replanting of cedars, well done. The attention to detail in the cottage needs to be mentioned. Where in a self-catering establishment will you get coffee beans, a grinder and a plunger! We will certainly be back for a longer stay, one night on the way back from a flower trip was far too short.

A really beautiful place to stay. The cottages are very well equipped and little extras like a bag of wood and firelighters make the difference. Very friendly owners who sell a nice assortment of herbal teas and medicines.

Beveel dit ten hoogste aan.

Die verblyf was alles wat ons gehoop het. Ons het lekker gestap, ontspan in die Jacuzzi's, en die huisies en natuur geniet. Dis wonderlik dat ons viervoet-kinders saam kon gaan. Ons kom graag weer.

Al wat jy moet doen is opdaag en die res is ontspanning, ontspanning en ontspanning. Die natuur en die sterre is jou bure en vir meer kan jy nie vra nie. Ons sal definitief gereeld uitspan hier.

A gem in the Cederberg.

What a magical place to stay. Everything was perfect, from the friendly, informative hosts to the beautiful cottages and amazing view. What a pleasure to stay at this beautiful establishment. The Jacuzzi was just perfect after long and difficult mountain biking rides. The cottage was very well equipped, perfectly clean and had everything we needed. Loved the very eco-friendly theme of the place and the natural gardens are just stunning. The added bonus of braai wood on arrival was a very thoughtful gesture. I can't wait to return!

We really enjoyed our stay and the location is great - close to Cape Town but it feels a million miles away once you are there. We will definitely go again. Some more information in the house about where the hiking trail is, some restaurants in the area, or other things to do in the area will be very useful.

Net wat die dokter sou voorskryf!

'n Mens is partymaal teleurgestel as die werklikheid nie die advertensie fotos gestand doen nie, maar nie hierdie keer nie. Ons was bevoorreg om huisie nr 4 (die honeymoon-huisie) bespreek te kry, en het bietjie meer vir hom betaal as die ander, maar dit was elke sent werd. Alles was pragtig skoon, met verwelkomende veldblommetjies en sepies in mooi houers. Die Jacuzzi was klaar aan die gang en die uitsig van daar oor julle netjies fynbos tuin en berge het ons soos konings laat voel. Groot glasdeur aan die voorkant en vensters wat tot by die dak strek aan die agter kant by die badkamer gee jou 'n onbelemmerde uitsig reg rondom. Hier is duidelik moeite gedoen om seker te maak jy ervaar jou omgewing binnekant ook. En in absolute privaatheid. Wel gedaan aan die nuwe eienaars. Julle het 'n wenresep daar beet.

Just what the doctor would prescribe!

One is sometimes disappointed when the reality does not live up to the advertising photos, but not this time. We were lucky enough to get cottage no. 4 (the honeymoon cottage) booked, and paid a bit more for it than the others, but it was worth every penny. Everything was beautifully clean, with welcoming wildflowers and soaps in pretty containers. The Jacuzzi was already running and the view from there over your neat fynbos garden and mountains made us feel like kings. Large glass door at the front and windows that reach up to the roof at the back in the bathroom give you an unobstructed view all around. Effort has clearly been made here to make sure you experience your surroundings inside as well. And in absolute privacy. Well done to the new owners. You guys have a winning recipe there.

Natuurskoon, rustig, 'n moet vir wanneer jy rus vir jou siel soek!

Cederkloof Botanical Retreat was waarlik 'n belewenis! Ons was 'n groep van 5 mense waarvan twee Duitsers was. Almal het die natuurskoon en rustigheid geniet. Die verblyf was baie goed toegerus en niks was kort nie. Die grootste bonus was die pragtige sterrehemel wat in die aande voor ons verskyn het, dit was asemrowend! En dan ook die rotstekeninge was regtig besonders. Die eienaar is self baie lief vir die natuur en het ons vergesel na die tekeninge op die plaas. Daar is ook liefling honde wat baie rustig is, maar liefdevol. Ons sal beslis weer terugkom!

Cederkloof Botanical Retreat was truly an experience! We were a group of 5 people, two of whom were Germans. Everyone enjoyed the scenery and tranquility. The accommodation was very well equipped and nothing came short. The biggest bonus was the beautiful starry sky that appeared before us in the evenings, it was awesome! And also the rock paintings were really special. The owner himself loves nature and has accompanied us to the drawings on the farm. There are also darling dogs who are very calm but loving. We will definitely come back again!

Ons het Cederkloof geboek as deel van ons wittebrood en het dit geweldig baie geniet. Die huisies is goed toegerus. Ons het in kothuis 2 gebly, dit was rustig en privaat. Dit is wonderlik om in die jaccuzzi te sit met die braai vuurtjie wat langs jou brand, terwyl jy die sonsondergang bewonder. Ons sal hierdie plekkie vir almal aanbeveel.

Fantastiese verblyf, atmosfeer en ligging!

Ons gaan beslis weer kom en vir 'n langer tyd bly. Alles is net perfek - die verblyf is skoon, netjies, gemaklik. Beddegoed is om in te droom! Fasiliteite in die huis kom niks kort nie en die aandkuier - eers by die Jacuzzi en daarna by die vuur en op die stoep is ontspanne. Die vroeë oggend stilte en uitsig is helend vir 'n mens se siel.

Lekker gerus in pragtige en rustige omgewing.

Huisie nr 1 netjies en goed toegerus. Daar kort egter bietjie onderhoud ons Jacuzzi se deksel was vol krake, voordeur se knip wou nie altyd oopmaak en van die "grout" tussen die teëls het losgekom. Andersins het ons baie lekker gebly veral die kaggel geniet op 'n baie koue aand. Het dit ook geniet om die voëls dop te hou.

House no. 1 neat and well equipped.

Otherwise we had a great stay, especially enjoyed the fireplace on a very cold evening. Also enjoyed watching the birds.

Pragtig en rustig.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by Cederkloof! Die ligging is pragtig met al die sitrusbome. Ons het ook baie lekker gestap op die een staproete. Al negatiewe kommentaar wat ek het is dat die plekkie bietjie soos vuurrook geruik het weens die kaggel in die huisie. Maar bygesê is ek baie sensitief vir rookreuke. Verder het ons dit baie geniet!

We had a great time at Cederkloof! The location is beautiful with all the citrus trees. We also had a great time walking on the one hiking trail.

Furthermore, we really enjoyed it!

Pragtige, rustige omgewing en baie goed toegeruste huisie.

Die huisie se uitleg is goed en dit gee 'n gevoel van ruimte. Omgewing absoluut pragtig en baie moeite word ingesit om inheemse plante orals opo die terein gevestig te kry. 'n Ware lushof in die natuur. Goeie linne en matras. Goed toegeruste kombuis en lekker kuierstoep. Lekker koffiebone met maler en 'plunger', 'n ware onverwagse bonus! Die versorging (netheid) van die teëlvloere kan bietjie meer aandag kry. Baie aangename, hulpvaardige en vriendelike ontvangs.

The care (cleanliness) of the tiled floors could receive a little more attention. Very pleasant, helpful and friendly reception.

Blissful nature, with a few snags.

Cederkloof is wonderfully located - neatly tucked away on the hills of Citrusdal. We stayed in unit 6 and upon arrival around 7 pm, the key was left in the door as promised. The unit smelt strongly of fire which was a bit overwhelming. Overall the unit was well equipped with all that is needed for self-catering. A big disappointment was discovering that our Jacuzzi would not switch on, in spite of wall plug being on. We contacted Yvette and she showed up at our unit within 5 minutes (she lives on site at unit 10). This was great and we were quickly told that the guests who had stayed over the night before must have switched off the Jacuzzi on the Jacuzzi's power box as opposed to the wall plug as instructed. We were delighted and looked forward to a night under the stars in the Jacuzzi. This too, was not to be. Next disappointment was the Jacuzzi subsequently not heating up. It remained on for more than 2 hrs and remained cold. We alerted Yvette who promised that someone would come out in the morning. The Jacuzzi debacle continued on until 5 pm the following day, meaning we had essentially lost a night and a full day of use of the Jacuzzi (which may I add, was the primary reason we had chosen Cederkloof). Nevertheless, following the efforts of 3 maintenance guys, the Jacuzzi was fixed around sunset, and we tried to make the most of the time we had left. Hats off to Yvette who expressed her sincerest apologies and made great strides to make up for the time we had lost. Our experience quickly turned around and Yvette was more than willing to grant us additional time on the Sunday which we made full use of. Cleanliness of the bathroom was the only real negative I walk away with. The shower was in dire need of a scrub - grime and mould was very visible, tiles along the bath and walls were dirty, wash basin too needed a good scrub, and the floors were in need of a good sweep and mop. Minor changes and improvements on cleanliness will undoubtedly allow for an even better stay! (Lastly, though promised, cleaning services on the Saturday morning did not in fact pitch). In spite of it all, I would definitely return. Positive and fair feedback can only lead to future enhancements and advancements.

Beste plek as jy wil wegbreek van die stad se "hustle and bustle".

Ons het regtig baie lekker gebly in huisie nr 2. Die huisie was heel op die punt en dis perfek vir privaatheid én dis volledig ingerig met als wat jy sal nodig hê. Ons het regtig baie lekker gebly. As daar één ding is wat ons graag sou wou verander, is dit die feit dat daar nie 'n buitelig teen die buitenste muur is waar die braai-area is nie. Maar dis letterlik al wat ons sou wou verander.

If there is one thing we would like to change, it is the fact that there is no outside light on the outside wall where the braai area is. But that's literally all we would like to change.

Baie rustig, ontspannend met geen geraas van die stad nie.

Wat is dan nou lekkerder as om op die stoep in 'n Jaccuzi te lê en bubbly drink met geen geraas van mense, voertuie of selfone wat lui nie en uit te kyk na veld en berge. Definitief die beste plek om te ontspan en van die res van die wêreld te vergeet.

Cederkloof Botanical Retreat was nou beslis een van die beste keuses in verblyf wat ons nog ooit gemaak het! Die kothuise is perfek en het alles wat jy sal benodig vir 'n tydjie weg. As jy iewers soek om in die natuur jou batterye te herlaai, is hierdie beslis die plek vir jou! Ek en my man sal enige tyd weer terug gaan!

Cederkloof Botanical Retreat was definitely one of the best choices in accommodation we have ever made! The cottages are perfect and have everything you will need for a time away. If you are looking for somewhere to recharge your batteries in nature, this is definitely the place for you! My husband and I would go back again anytime! Many thanks also to the staff who put a lot of effort into a special gift for our birthdays.

Really stunning setting.

We absolutely loved staying here. The bird life, the walks, the views, the quiet, the Jacuzzi, it was all lovely. Very peaceful. We didn't want to go home.

Dit was onbeskryflik lekker, ek wil sommer vooruit bespreek vir keer elke maand.

Ek was vir werk in Citrusdal en het die lekkerse rus vir die siel gehad by Cerderkloof Botanical Retreat. Die huisie is fantasties met alles en meer wat 'n mens sou nodig hê vir 'n wegbreek. Ek gaan definitief probeer vooruit bespreek 1 keer elke maand of 2 om myself te bederf. Ek glo enige iemand wat hier kom oorbly sal tuis voel en nie wil terugkeer na die wegbreek nie.

It was indescribably nice, I just want to book in advance for once every month.

I was in Citrusdal for work and had the delicious rest for the soul at Cerderkloof Botanical Retreat. The cottage is fantastic with everything and more that one would need for a getaway. I'm definitely going to try to book in advance 1 time every month or 2 to treat myself. I believe anyone who comes to stay here will feel at home and not want to return after the break.

Pragtige stilte met 'n heerlike Jacuzzi warmbad.

In die natuur is 'n klein huisie met alles wat mens nodig sou hê. Heerlike groot bad in die huisie, groot vuurmaakplek en ruim kombuis, maar beste van als is die Jacuzzi buite langs die braaivuur.

Beautiful silence with a lovely Jacuzzi hot tub.

In nature is a small house with everything one would need. Lovely big bath in the house, big fireplace and spacious kitchen, but best of all is the Jacuzzi outside next to the barbecue.

Fantastic stay in a beautiful environment. Great for birders!

What a beautiful location. The night we stayed there was a beautiful storm but it was lovely and cozy inside with the fireplace. Everything you need is provided - even delicious coffee beans provided with a grinder to make a fresh cup of coffee! We will definitely be back!

Heerlike naweekwegbreekplek!

Ons as gesin het dit vreeslik geniet in die buitelug. Dit was 'n bonus om jou troeteldier te kan saambring. Rustige atmosfeer en skoon en netjiese geriewe. Ons sal definitief weer hier bespreek.

Het dit geniet.

Die plekkie wat ek bespreek het was toegeken aan iemand anders en ons is 'n goedkoper huisie gegee. Ek was eers baie teleurgesteld. Om op te maak vir die goedkoper huisie het hulle die gebruik van die Jacuzzi verniet gegee. Die Jacuzzi moet net herstel word, want dit kan nie juis warmer gemaak word nie.

Enjoyed it.

The place I booked was given to someone else and we were given a cheaper place. Initially, I was very disappointed. To make up for the cheaper house they gave free access to the Jacuzzi. The Jacuzzi just needs a fix, as it does not heat up at the moment.

Heerlik en ontspannend.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die ligging en uitsig was perfek en ons het lekker in die aande langs die Jacuzzi gebraai. Ons het wel gesiglappies gekort en 'n hakkie of twee buite die stort sou dit maklik maak om jou handdoek daar op te hang, maar verder het ons baie lekker gebly.

Lovely and relaxing.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location and view were perfect and we enjoyed having a braai in the evenings next to the Jacuzzi. Some face towels and hooks to hang towels would have been useful, but other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous little cottage with everything that we needed (for a self-catering unit.) Massive bed with fresh, crisp linen. Lovely hike - (but could be signposted just a little better.) Hope I get to visit again!

Hallo Mandy, Thank you for your visit and for the review. I will certainly check and improve on the signage for the hikes, than you for the heads-up. We hope to see you back here soon. Warm regards, Yvette

Baie mooi uitsig en wonderlike omgewing.

Fantastiese atmosfeer, heerlike Jacuzzi, hout om mee te braai. Kan dalk net beter beligting in die huis kry sodat mens 'n boek kan lees.
