Ons kuier was vreeslik lekker en rustig.

Ons het 'n baie lekker naweek gehad, om geen elektrisiteit te gehad nie was vir ons baie lekker, ons kon afskakel van die alledaagse geraas en besige lewe. Daar is genoeg om mee klaar te kom, 'n gasstoof, ons het net ekstra liggies gevat, verder kan ons nie kla nie, sal beslis weer terug gaan.

Our visit was very nice and peaceful.

We had a very nice weekend, having no electricity was very nice for us, we could switch off from the everyday noise and busy life. There is enough to get by, a gas stove, we just took it extra lightly, other than that we can't complain, will definitely go back again.

Rustig - egte safari-ervaring.

Vriendelike diens. Lekker sentraal aan menige besienswaardighede. Bietjie aandag aan die tuin sal dit werklik 'n 5-ster ervaring verseker.

Teens become restless due to the absence of technology. But nice to chill and get away from everything.

If you enjoy alone time just with nature and away from people, this is just for you.

Amazing concept. Beautiful stay.

From the first moment we were welcomed very warmly at De Kraal. Meiring showed us around and offered us a welcoming ice cold beer, which was so appreciated by our road weary souls. We were so taken by the place we re-arranged some plans to stay an extra night. The place is really lovely, quaint and functional - and for tented accommodation it has every amenity you could possibly require, with attention to details. It was an awesome pit stop and I would definitely recommend a stay!

Hierdie is die ideale plek om te ontspan. Dit was kamp op sy beste en die gasheer en gasvrou het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring om so in die natuur te kon bly. Sal beslis weer daar tuisgaan.

A bush at home.

We found De Kraal very relaxing, peaceful and, on a level, quiet. It was quite refreshing to be in accommodation that used only battery and/or solar power and gas. The cell phone charging system was especially clever. If we had one complaint it would be the road noise. Not a big issue, but still audible for both vehicles and pedestrians. We will, however, most certainly consider De Kraal when in Oudtshoorn again.

Kamp in styl.

De Kraal Tent Accommodation was 'n welkome verrassing aangesien dit ons eerste "tent" akkommodasie ondervinding was. Die area is pragtig ingerig met alles wat mens kan nodig hê. Ongelukkig was daar geen kragprop vir 'n haardroër nie so die haarstyl is al wat deurgeloop het. Die verblyf was heerlik en die uitsig oor die plaas is pragtig. Ons het baie lekker gebly en die eienaars is baie vriendelik.

De Kraal Tent Accommodation was a welcome surprise since it was our first experience of "tented" accommodation. The place is well appointed with everything you will need. Unfortunately there was no plug for a hairdryer, so my hairstyle was the only thing that wasn't great. The accommodation was lovely and the view over the farm is stunning. We really enjoyed the stay and the owners are very friendly.

Daar was baie modder en son en stof en vir die rede sal ek dit liefs vermy in die toekoms.

Ouens, die een moet julle "skip" as jy nie 'n "happy camper" is nie. Alles was nie sleg nie, maar daar is een gemeenskaplike kombuis vir beide tente wat redelik vuil (vol stof) is. Die tente word net aan een groep verhuur soos ek dit verstaan. Dis 'n grondoppervlak na die kombuis toe en pure modder wanneer dit reën (natuurlik reën dit nie altyd nie). Dit reën by die tente in (as dit hard reën) en daar is niks (soos 'n mop) om die tent mee skoon te maak. Die ligte in die tent is effens swak. Die eienaars se honde het in die kar gespring met aankoms en in die kar gemors (geplas). Daar is dan net een ronde tafel wat een nie kan skuif nie. Dus is dit nat in die oggende en vir die res van die tyd is die son lastig. Daar was 'n sambreel aan die tafel vasgemaak, wat die wind omgewaai het en die sambreel het gebreek, en die sambreel was nie vervang nie. Selfs met die sambreel was die son lastig, omdat een nie die sambreel kan skuif nie. Die feit dat daar nie krag is nie word redelik goed weggesteek en het ons dit eers op nommer 99 agtergekom. Daar was te min meubels en ek sou graag stoele op die dek wou sien (waarvan daar een baie heilige stoel was). Die eienaars is vriendelik en behulpsaam en het gereeld vars beddegoed en handdoeke aangebied. Die gas geiser se gas het op een stadium opgeraak, maar was vinnig vervang. Die beddegoed was skoon en mooi en daar is genoeg warm komberse. Ons het op geen stadium onveilig gevoel nie, maar daar is geen veiligheidshulpmiddels nie en een se waardevolle besittings sluit jy liefs in die kar toe. Natuurlik kan 'n tent nie sluit nie. Die venue is dalk eerder vir die "backpacker" of jonger geslag ... Verseker nie vir die "faint-hearted" nie. Dis ook baie naby 'n besige pad wat dalk 'n bietjie raas as jy vroeg gaan slaap. Dit raak lekker stil later in die aand. Ek sal die een nie aanbeveel nie.

There was a lot of mud and sun and dust and for that reason I would like to avoid it in the future.

Guys, this one you should "skip" if you are not a "happy camper". Everything was not bad, but there is one common kitchen for both tents which is quite dirty (full of dust). The tents are only rented to one group as I understand it. It's a dirt surface towards the kitchen and pure mud when it rains (of course it doesn't always rain). It rains into the tents (if it rains hard) and there is nothing (like a mop) to clean the tent with. The lights in the tent are a little dim. The owners' dogs jumped into the car upon arrival and pooped (peeed) in the car. There is then only one round table that one cannot move. So it is wet in the mornings and for the rest of the time the sun is troublesome. There was an umbrella tied to the table, which the wind blew over and the umbrella broke, and the umbrella was not replaced. Even with the umbrella, the sun was troublesome, because one cannot move the umbrella. The fact that there is no power is hidden quite well and we only noticed it at number 99. There was too little furniture and I would have liked to see chairs on the deck (of which there was one very sacred chair). The owners are friendly and helpful and often offered fresh bed linen and towels. The gas geyser ran out of gas at one point, but was quickly replaced. The bedding was clean and nice and there are plenty of warm blankets. At no point did we feel unsafe, but there are no safety aids and you tend to lock your valuables in the car. Of course, a tent cannot close. The venue might be more for the "backpacker" or younger generation... Definitely not for the "faint-hearted". It's also very close to a busy road which might be a bit noisy if you go to bed early. It gets nice and quiet later in the evening. I wouldn't recommend that one.

Pragtige skoon akkommodasie met die nodige geriewe.

Ek en my tiener seun het Vrydag en Saterdag daar oorgeslaap, aangesien hy Saterdag aan 'n bergfiets-wedren daar deelgeneem het. Asemrowende uitsig oor plase en berge. Eienaars was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik, seker omdat ek vrou-alleen met my seun daar was. Baie ekstra aandag is aan ons behoeftes gegee. Veilige omgewing. Ek sal dit vir enige een aanbeveel en ek sal self weer gaan.

My teenage son and I spent the night there on Friday and Saturday, as he took part in a mountain bike race there on Saturday. Breathtaking view of farms and mountains. Owners were very helpful and friendly, probably because I was there as a woman alone with my son. A lot of extra attention was given to our needs. Safe environment.

Lekker gebly.

Die beddegoed was skoon maar kombuiskas was stowwerig. Lappies en vadoek was vuil. Braai was vol as. My man moes dit eers skoonmaak voor ons kon braai. Die warmwatersakke was baie oulik! Sou graag meer beligting wou hê. Dalk 'n lampie vir elke tent en nog vir die kombuis-area en tafel. Ons was nie voorbereid vir kamp sonder elektrisiteit nie. Dalk kan jul kopflitse voorsien of net gaste waarsku om hul eie flitse ens te bring.

Nice stay.

The bedding was clean but the kitchen cupboard was dusty. Cloths and dishcloth were dirty. Braai was full of ash. My husband had to clean it first before we could grill. The hot water bags were very cute! Would have liked more lighting. Maybe a lamp for each tent and more for the kitchen area and table. We were not prepared for camping without electricity. Maybe you can provide head torches or just warn guests to bring their own torches etc.

Hi Melanie,
Ons is baie jammer dat julle nie lekker by ons gebly het nie. Sal aandag aan alles gee. Op al die advertensies waar De Kraal adverteer word, word daar duidelik gesê dat daar geen krag is nie. Ongelukkig omdat dit buite is, word alles baie gou maar weer vol stof, en kan nie veel daaraan verander nie.
Groete
Tineke
