DanielsHoogte Private Reserve

Exceeding expectations.

We had a wonderful time in spite of cold, wet weather. Our host was superb, friendly and helpful. The cottage was comfortable and cozy. We had some marvelous hikes and showed us the location of some special finds on the reserve. Can't recommend this more highly.

Awesome.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die stap op die plaas, die rustigheid en vreedsaamheid is 'n wonderlike belewenis. Sal enige tyd weer teruggaan. Baie dankie, vir u gasvryheid.

Very beautiful place with the most amazing views over Velddrif and St Helena Bay. A most terrific host, Daniel!

We will be back. A great place and a great host.

Baie geniet.

Pragtige en rustige omgewing. Vinnige bespreking. Vriendelike gasheer. Karaktervolle verblyf wat voldoen het aan behoeftes.

My lewensbatterye is weer gelaai.

Uitsonderlike ligging. Ideaal om te ontsnap van stedelike gewoel.

Enjoyed the solitude and the views.

Enjoyed the stay, having been there 45 years ago. Almost a previous lifetime ago. It is expensive for what you get.

Baie rustig.

Baie geniet. Mooi plek. Doodstil. Pragtige natuur. Vreeslik gekukkig.

Beautifully peaceful getaway with magnificent views, hiking, game, bushmen paintings etc. The perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life! Daniel and his wife are lovely hosts.

The accommodation was adequate for our needs, the indoor braai being a necessary bonus. The only negative is that the mattresses desperately need to be replaced as they are terribly uncomfortable. A nice sheltered veranda to sit on would also have been appreciated.

Very peaceful.

Good place to be off the grid.

'n Fantastiese wegbreek na die paradys!

Berg met pragtige uitsigte, see, valleie, klowe en doer ver Tafelberg in die agtergrond. Baie cosy akkommodasie.

Quiet beautiful views.

Stayed in Aristea, 6 people. Lovely views from the balcony of St Helena Bay and Dwarskersbos and below the owner's house. From the house you can go on self hiking trails as their is no specific hiking route. Except for the farm road that after a kilometer or two comes to a security gate. If you happy with quietness and no splash pool or aircon/fan then you will adapt well. En-suite toilet roll holder and maybe a folded braai grid and having the fridge switched on a day before arrival would be pleasant. Also note you are told to take your refuse and drop off in town on your way out. Owner should maybe just attend to some details. The pillows provided are not adequate and kitchen round table tilts to one side as we experienced our cooldrink bottles taking a dive at one stage so decided not to use it further on our stay. Otherwise a place to go and experience yourself.

Baie lekker en rustig.

Mooi rustige stil omgewing. Lekker in natuurskoon deurgebring.

Nature at its best! What a view!

Walking into the cabin, a cosy fire was lit. Sounds of nature surrounded us, no crazy technology or the frenzy of people - just nature and the most beautiful views anyone can ask for. This is exactly what we wanted - to get away from it all. An adventure! From the beautiful Nguni cattle, to the baboons calling each other, amazing bird sightings and absolutely stunning fauna and flora - we could fully immerse ourselves in it all. A private family-friendly getaway. What I loved most about our stay is that we had everything we needed. We were asked in advance to bring our own bedding, towels and wood as the shops are not just around the corner. Special permission was given for our small dog, very well leash-trained and socialised. We could get there with a regular vehicle. Nice hot showers. Cosy farm atmosphere. Very happy travellers indeed. Thank you to our amazing hosts!

Nostalgiese verblyf met aangename gasheer.

Ongelooflike sonsondergang, rustige natuur in 'n veilige plaasomgewing met besonderse uitsigte en genoeg spasie om rustig te wandel tussen die fynbos. Verskillende verblyfopsies beskikbaar, bespreek volgens jou behoefte en voorkeur.

Stil, vrede en rus vir die siel.

Fantastiese ligging, rustiek, maar alles wat jy nodig het. Eienaar was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Heerlik gekuier, sal beslis weer gaan!

Indien eenvoud en wegkom uit die gedruis van die stad vir jou 'n prioriteit is, dan is hierdie die plek om te wees.

Ons het die rustigheid en natuur baie geniet. Die witkruisarende, boesmantekeninge en ongelooflike uitsigte is 'n groot bonus.

Pragtige uitsig in chalet teen die berg.

Oom Danie was baie vriendelik en het uit ons baie spasie gegee vir ons romantiese tydjie weg. Die huisie was eenvoudig maar het presies gehad wat ons nodig gehad het. As jy 'n stille wegbreek kans soek waar jy kan gaan stap, bietjie wilde diere sien (ons het Rooibokke, wilde hase, baie roofvoëls, bobbejane en meer gesien) en bietjie rus en vrede soek waar niemand jou kan kry nie is hierdie die plek vir jou.

Die omgewing was wonderlik as mens uit die stad wil wegkom, die verblyf was ondergemiddeld en buitensporig duur vir dit wat gebied word.

Die omgewing en afgeleë posisie was onverbeterlik. Ek het egter vir die prys 'n baie beter versorgde en afgeronde plek verwag. Die beddegoed, handdoeke, vadoeke en los matte is glad nie op standaard nie. Die geyser het gelek en die water wou nie warm word nie. Heeltemal te hoog geprys vir baie basiese geriewe. Kan bysê dat die eienaar ons 'n ekstra aand teen halfprys aangebied het - wat nog steeds te duur was.

Bietjie teleurstellend.

Die plek was nie baie netjies nie en stof was op mure. Daar was 'n stukkende sinkplaat in die binnebraai om die as op te vang. Teen daardie prys sou 'n mens verwag linne en handdoeke is ingesluit, maar moes ekstra daarvoor betaal.

Outstandingly beautiful scenery, comfortable, though rustic dwelling, awesome sunsets, and wonderfully warm, friendly, helpful host.

Daniel is the epitome of the genial host, but went even further by giving my husband a 'regmaker' for his upset stomach. Our son, two little granddaughters and ourselves, walked and climbed over the amazing rocky terrain, gazing in awe at the stunning scenery we encountered at every ascent. Our granddaughters especially loved making friends with the calf, Blommie, and Tombe, the gentle Ridgeback dog. Daniel, justifiably proud of his mountain empire, drove us to out of the way places and regaled us with many interesting tales of life in die Hoogtes. We all thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and came home refreshed by the peace and pure air of DanielsHoogte.

Perfekte rustieke kampplek weg van almal en deel van die natuur!

Wil dit amper 'n geheim hou want daar is min plekke oor waar mens so kan wegbreek van alles en almal af en die kamp plek vir mens self kry. Die ligging is fantasties en ons het die eerste middag 'n Gevlekte Ooruil saam met ons in die grot gehad. Pragtig. Die kampterrein was ook baie netjies en die storte en toilette was baie skoon. Gaan definitief weer 'n draai daar gaan maak. Eienaar was ook baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Tussen nêrens en êrens, bo op 'n berg met 'n uitsig wat skrik vir niks!

Ons het vir vier dae op DanielsHoogte gebly, net buite Aurora. Teen die berg op, weggesteek van die geraas van die stad. Lekker kothuis met ongelooflike uitsigte: net die regte plek om te ontspan. Sal definitief terugkom!
