We are very organized good sleepers and are punctilious, but we also respect the fact that people are different and therefore as a rule we do not comment on our accommodation experiences.

Farm visit with the children.
The house has everything you need for a nice weekend away. Close enough to Malmesbury if you need to go shopping soon. The house gives you an old farmhouse feel with a newly redone bathroom and beautiful farmhouse kitchen. Small details just make it extra special - farm bread, rusks, enough tea, coffee and sugar. The honesty "minibar" is also very convenient - wood, flash, extra drinks, crackers etc for if you might have forgotten them.

Quick getaway for one night close to home.
We had a great time staying here! It is so peaceful on the farm. There is every possible luxury you can think of! The hostess bakes the most delicious rusks! We even played board games on the porch. The layout is open plan so you should be comfortable with an open bathroom if you come to stay here. The only "constructive criticism" we might give to the owners is the layout of the barbecue area. There are two units next to each other that share a braai area. Luckily we were there alone that night so it didn't bother us but I think the logistics will be a bit difficult if you are staying there with strange people. The porch and braai area are shared so you won't really have privacy. My suggestion would be that they maybe put a partition on the stoep between the two units and maybe set up another braai place on the other side of the stoep.

Dassenheuwel Farm Stay 's response
Hallo Inge,
Dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer. En ons is bly jy het jou kuier hier op die plaas geniet.
Ons is in die proses om planne te maak om die braai area op te deel. Daar is net baie faktore wat in ag geneem moet word, wat gaste miskien nie aan dink nie, soos die brandgevaar van 'n enkele vonk, omdat ons hooi/kafstoor baie naby aan die kothuise is, en 'n vonk of 2 groot skade kan maak, met 'n hele jaar se voer wat tot niet kan brand.... ;(
Dan is daar ook die uitsig wat belemmer gaan word indien ons 'n afskorting bou.... So, ons werk aan 'n oplossing sodat almal dit steeds kan geniet!!
Gelukkig probeer ek meestal dat daar nie te veel vreemde mense langs mekaar in die kothuise bly nie, ek sal eerder laat mense privaat wees, en die ander een "toemaak" vir daardie tyd. Of dan is dit ook meestal vriende wat wel kan saamkuier, wat langs mekaar bly en saam bespreek..
Ek hoop dit antwoord jou vrae?
Groetnis en hoop om julle weer gou te sien.

Die ideaal sou wees as julle in die Farm Stay kon bespreek, maar dit was reeds vol bespreek. En ook het julle op 'n naweek kom kuier wat dit omtrent stormweer was. In somermaande of gewone wintersaande is daardie braaiplek weer heerlik omdat jy kan uitkyk oor die hele werf.
Ek hoop tog julle kom kuier weer eendag vir ons, en dat julle dan bietjie die Farm Stay uit probeer met sy binnebraai of as dit mooiweer is, geniet almal die groot stoep by die kothuise met sy mooi uitsig of onder in die groot tuin by die Farm Stay.

If you are looking for a place to feed the soul, Dassenheuwel Farm Stay & Cottage is it!
Firstly I want to thank Kobus and Lida for the hospitality. We felt welcome from the beginning. They made a good first impression. We arrived there in the dark and it was an unbelievable view when we woke up the next morning and went outside. You have a beautiful farm. Everything is neat and clean. There is so much life in this place. You can see how much time went into it. The Flower Cottage we stayed in was remarkable. Everything that you need is there. The cottage is beautiful and you feel at home from the start. Beautiful and suitable decor. It was modern 'boeresjiek' for me. This place is a gem, you don't want to share it with anyone. We enjoyed the quiet of the farm, we were able to make a fire and braai, gaze at the stars with a warm cup of coffee and homemade rusks (we were treated by this). It is life at its best. We felt so relaxed after our stay there, even though it was just one night. Can only think what a couple of nights here will feel like. You are special people and your farm definitely reflects it. Thanks again, we will definitely see you in the future.

The hostess makes far more effort than is expected of 5 star. We even got a nice warm home-baked bun. The room is modern and stylish. The environment is peaceful and quiet.

It was like being on my own farm, among the animals and hospitable people.
We didn't know what to expect, but great was our surprise when we landed there. From the welcome chocolates to the extra blankets on the porch was more than we expected. Then I'm not even talking about the delicious home-baked rusk and homemade jam. All the tea, coffee etc. was more than we expected. The farm life was my highlight, all the little lambs jumping like that in the late afternoon! It was so wonderful to be able to watch the new little calf's first steps! And then the trip up the mountain to watch the sunset! It was truly value for money. There are so many extras, too many to mention. Thank you very much.

The surroundings and farm are beautiful, peaceful and quiet. It was wonderful to experience the farm animals and life. Kobus spoiled my father specially and took him around the farm. The house is neat, tasteful and extremely comfortable and fully equipped. We hardly wanted to go home again and are already planning the next visit, so that we can sit on the porch again early in the morning and drink coffee, and enjoy the farm and silence and Lida's fresh bread with jam. Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend!

We had a lovely overnight rest in this tasteful unit!
The unit is stylishly finished and we wanted for nothing. Even though it was self-catering units, there were rusks and muesli, coffee, tea and milk. It was a pity that we as a married couple had to share the patio and braai area with strangers - not quite something you look forward to on a getaway. We would thus suggest that the patio is divided so that each unit has privacy and so that there is space for each unit to have their own braai. We did make use of the opportunity and freedom to go walking far in the beautiful nature and just breathe the fresh air.

Hallo Riana,
Dankie vir die terugvoer, en ons is bly dat julle die verblyf en die plaas geniet het.
Aangaande die braaifasiliteit, meeste van die gaste wat in die kothuise oorbly, bly meestal net 1 of 2 nagte oor, aangesien hier klomp onthaalplekke in die omgewing is, en die meerderheid by troues of feeste gaan kuier, of sommer lekker gaan uiteet in die Vallei....
Wat ek voorstel is dat indien jy heeltemal privaat wil wees, gaan die onderste gastehuis (Dassenheuwel Farm Stay) perfek wees vir jou behoeftes. Dit beskik oor 'n binnebraai, lekker buitebraai/boma onder die bome in 'n groot private tuin.... Daar sal jy kan rustig kuier en alleen wees, en niks hoef te deel met "vreemdelinge" nie.... Die Farm Stay is ook heeltemal apart van die kothuise.
Ons het wel al mense in die kothuise gehad wat mekaar nie ken nie, en maar om die beurt braai en kuier op die stoep, en ook dié wat daar en dan vriende maak en sommer saam kuier.....
Groete en dankie vir die ondersteuning.

Hallo Benita,
Ons is jammer oor jou 'slegte' ervaring, veral omdat jy al voorheen by ons oorgebly het.
Vir die stukkie pad wat "sinkplaat" is, dis die SDR se gedeelte wat hulself in stand moet hou (ons mag nie), en hulle kom dit gereeld binne 'n sekere siklus skraap. Die res van die pad (wat ons s'n is), skraap onsself en die pad is eintlik in 'n baie goeie kondisie. Die eenheid word elke 2e dag gediens, wat ook by julle die geval was. Die selfoon sein is maar waarmee ons almal saamleef op 'n plaas, maar dis slegs in sekere vertrekke in die gastehuis waar nie selfoon sein is nie, buite is orals selfoon sein. Die ou huis se mure is baie dik, daarom is die sein swak in die huis, maar buite baie goed. (Ons het selfs nie eers meer Telkom lyne nie, ons kom net reg met selfone). Die enkele spinnerakke waarvan jy praat, kom oornag, spinnekoppe kom en gaan, en 'n spinnerak word binne minute gebou, dit was heeltemal skoon die oggend voor jy ingekom het. Die deure en sif deure moet toegehou word om die spinnekoppe en vlieë uit te hou, ons het jou daaroor gewaarsku, maar die deure was steeds oop.
Die plaas word elke dag ten minste een keer gepatrolleer deur ons plaaswag en die polisie, so, ons veiligheidsmaatreels is heeltemal in plek. Die noodnommer van die plaaswag is ook in die huisie aangebring, miskien het jy dit net nie gesien nie??
Die reëls en regulasies is maar by baie plekke, maar aangesien jy 'n ekstra persoon ingebring het, waarvoor jy nie bespreek het nie (jou bespreking was vir 2 volwassenes en 2 babas), en ook nie waarvoor ek jou gekwoteer het nie, en jy toe daarna ekstra moes betaal, kry ek die idee jy is kwaad oor die ekstra betaling. Dis jammer dat jy sosiale media gebruik om jou misnoeë uit te spreek, ons het reeds per epos alles uitgesorteer.
Jammer dat mens so moet reageer, maar soos jy kan sien, al die ander gaste, honderde van hulle, bly altyd baie lekker, en het geen probleem met enige iets in die huis of op die plaas nie. Miskien moet julle, n.a.v al jou teleurstellings eerder nie op 'n plaas in die vervolg bespreek nie.
Dis ons lewe, en baie mense is mal daaroor om ook 'n tydjie op 'n plaas te bly. Soos jy kan sien, geniet almal dit om hier te oornag.
Die foto's is presies die weergawe van ons huisies, niks is verbloem of opgemaak nie. "What you see is what you get", en as daar nou 'n ekstra "Daddy long legs" is, dis als deel van plaaslewe.
Groetnis!

Can recommend without a doubt and would go back again any day. Already miss the fresh air and coffee and biscuits in the morning on the stoep.

Fresh farm bread is delivered upon your arrival!
We are real city folk, so I decided that the children should experience a bit of farm life. Just an hour from Cape Town, Dassenheuwel is the perfect family outing. Hot freshly baked bread is delivered the moment you arrive. The hostess (Lida) thinks of the smallest detail. She knows that small children do not sleep alone in a room and offered to give us a loose mattress to facilitate the "sleeping around". There were also lollipops for the children (where the big people got the usual "welcome" chocolate). The bonus though was 2 crates full of legos that she gave us to play with. Dassenheuwel is a farm that is worked hard. The farmer, Kobus, showed us the whole farm and it was fascinating for us as farm lads to hear how things work. We were there in March and that's when all the lambs and calves are born. Other times like December the farm will look different again, because then the fields are full of wheat and granola. Behind the house there is a garden with about 10 turtles and chickens - also a hit with my toddlers. The house is very comfortable. Spacious and luxurious. There are 2 rooms - a double bed in one room and the 2nd room (the one further from the TV - so good for kids who go to bed early) has 3 single beds in it. There is a large dining room table, but we had the best time sitting on the porch. The other attraction of the farm is that it is also very close to Riebeek Kasteel if you feel like wine or olive tasting, and we even went to Paarl one day and visited a wine farm there. So if you are looking for a peaceful environment, want a spacious luxury home, but still want to go to a good restaurant every now and then - Dassenheuwel is the place for you!
