Will be back .

We had a super lovely stay, making it a very relaxing weekend. If you want to get away from everyday life and do a little "Off Grid" living, it is definitely the place to be. Remotely hidden away from society and all the hustle and bustle… Clean, organised and with a touch of character. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Lovely family getaway off the grid.

Our stay was lovely, the indoor fireplace was such a blessing with the freezing weather conditions on the second night. They arranged a TV and DSTV so we could enjoy the rugby. Due to the heavy rainfall, the cottage felt like a houseboat.

Een van die beste vakansies wat ons nog gehad het.

Dit is stil, die huis was reg op die dam, eintlik na die baie reën letterlik teen die dam. Daar is baie voëls wat sing, en die huis is baie gerieflik en die warm bad en die vuurherd was baie lekker om die koue af te weer. Sal weer kom. Die area bied ook baie. Gasheer en vrou was baie behulpsaam.

One of the best holidays we have ever had.

It is quiet, the house was right on the dam, in fact after the lot of rain literally on the dam. There are many birds singing, and the house is very comfortable and the hot tub and the fireplace were very nice to ward off the cold. Will come again. The area also offers a lot. Host and wife were very helpful.

A tranquil and secluded oasis!

Vista vista vista! A very relaxing stay and the hosts made a great effort to make our romantic stay special. Book 2 nights because the tub is large and takes 12 hours to heat, so you don't want to be ushered out early before you can enjoy the fruits of your labour in this stunning location!

Vrede en lekker warm geslaap. Ek sal weer sê as die eienaar weet van die jacuzzi.

Ja, ons het, MAAR DIE JACUZZI HET NIE GEWERK en dit was teleurstellend, dis hoekom ek bespreek het.

Yes we did, BUT THE JACUZZI DIDN'T WORK and that was disappointing, that's why I booked.

Beste Trudie,
Dankie vir jou terugvoer. Soos aan jou gemeld, het die eienaars die bad se grootte aangepas om te verseker dat dit behoorlik werk en dit sommer nou lekker warm maak.

Peaceful, blissfully quiet and serene. Heaven! With mosquitoes.

It seems we were not expected! The gate was locked, and due to there being no signal, it was very difficult to get hold of anyone. We were quite concerned as it got dark very quickly. There was not much wood at the house, and the water ran out. The owner very quickly sorted the wood and water out for us though. But I definitely got the impression they were not expecting guests. The mosquitoes were horrendous! It would be nice to have an outside braai as the house filled with smoke. Besides all of this, we had a wonderful weekend. Waking up to the stillness was amazing.

Amazing stay only for nature. No WiFi.

It went really well. However, be prepared for nature because the WiFi is bad, electricity is only for lights, and no microwaves are allowed. So make that fire, get cozy, and enjoy nature.

Was goed vir die siel.

Ons vriendinne het baie lekker gekuier. Dit het gevoel asof ons in 'n "boathouse" is, so naby die dam se water is aan die huisie. Die omgewing is mooi en stil. Dit het ons wegbreek goed gedoen. Die "hottub" kon ons nie lekker benut nie. Vrydag heeldag gestook en Saterdag, maar die water wou net nie genoeg warm word nie. Ek was 'n uur in die water. Die water was net lou. Ons het nogal gesê in die winter sal een van daai bubble plastiek goed werk wat jy bo-oor 'n swembad kom werk, dan hou dit die hitte binne. Maar dit het ons nou glas nie onder gekry. Ons het so lekker gekuier, gaan definitief weer kom.

Wash good for the soul.

Our friends had a great time. It felt like we were in a "boathouse", so close to the pond's water is the cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and quiet. It did our getaway well. We could not make good use of the "hot tub". Boiled all day on Friday and Saturday, but the water just wouldn't get hot enough. I was in the water for an hour. The water was only lukewarm. We kind of said that in the winter, one of those bubble plastic things that you put on top of a pool would work, it would keep the heat in. But it didn't get our glass down. We had such a good time, will definitely come again.

Baie rustig en pragtige uitsig op dam. Huisie is pragtig binne en alles wat jy nodig het en nog meer.

Huisie is heerlik warm. Groot braaiplek binne, en baie hout word verskaf. Neem harder hout om die hot tub warm te maak.

Wat 'n rustige, stil wegbreek!

De Poort se huisie het alle verwagtinge oortref. Netjies, skoon en goed toegerus. Die rustigheid rondom ons was hemels. Net ons gesin en die honde en baie hardloop- en speelplek. Ons was in die warmbad, ons het geroei, visgevang en net lekker in die leefarea voor die braaiplek gelê en kaart of skaak gespeel. Die eienaars is die liefste mense wat dadelik help. Ons gaan definitief weer! Net om daardie heerlike stilte en rustigheid te geniet. Dankie De Poort en Corlene!

What a peaceful, quiet getaway!

De Poort's little house exceeded all expectations. Neat, clean and well equipped. The tranquility around us was heavenly. Just our family and the dogs and lots of space to run and play. We were in the hot tub, we rowed, fished and just laid in the living area in front of the braai and played cards or chess. The owners are the nicest people who help immediately. We will definitely go again! Just to enjoy that lovely silence and tranquility. Thank you De Poort and Corlene!

100% Rustigheid. Klaar weer bespreek.

Pragtige decor. Soveel komberse. In die middel van winter en huisie was heerlik warm. Alles en nog meer wat jy nodig het. Nie warm shower soggens - probleem met gas wat eienaar middag kom uitsorteer het. Hot tub raak egter nie warm met hout verskaf nie - bring kameeldoring.

Ons het die rustigheid en saligheid so waardeer.

Die cottage is goed ingerig en het aan al ons wense voldoen. Sal De Poort verseker aanbeveel. Die plekkie is "off the grid" wat baie welkom was. Miskien kan die advertensie insluit dat daar 'n inverter is en dat die geysers ook gas gebruik. Ons het te laat uitgevind.

Weekend getaway close to home. heart broken.

We went to De Poort for the hot "jacuzzi". Special request made to start warming it early in the morning. Arrived around half past one only to see that they were just heating the little oven with wet wood. Nevertheless, we took many bags of our own dry wood with us. When I stirred the water to circulate it was FULL OF SLUDGE. Corlene Conradie was very apologetic. Long story short. we only stayed one night even though we paid for 3. It's a beautiful setting, but the selling point in my opinion is the hot jacuzzi.
