Lafenis vir 'n persoon wat moeg gery is en na bietjie vrede en rus verlang.

Relaxation for a person who is tired and longs for some peace and rest.
Had a wonderful stay. All amenities we needed were there. The outside braai place is sheltered and a lovely place to visit. A TV would not be able to compete with the 'forest fire' and the beautiful starry sky.

Quiet among the citrus groves.
We were very friendly and warmly welcomed by the host and hostess. It made us feel at home very quickly. Old Pollie offers nice and spacious accommodation and is ideally located near the eastern entrance gate of the Baviaanskloof.

Comfortable, but lacking some finesse.
Although comfortable, it needs renovation. Coffee, milk and tea would have been nice.

Very peaceful atmosphere. Nice resting place. No TV, so you can switch off completely.
Patensie is a beautiful, peaceful village. Nice place to eat at Die Padstal and Tolbos. The citrus trees smell nice and there are hiking trails that can be followed, or you can just relax.

Friendly people and neat place.
The owner will need to look at the following. We struggled to take a shower, the water pressure is very bad and the water runs out slowly. Kitchen/front room has a very bad smell. Maybe put out coffee, tea, sugar, powdered milk and bottled water for guests. Even if it is only enough for one time use.

Thank you Sue, apologies for the water. We are trying a new set-up to get cleaner water since the drought. We will definitely make sure the system works better.

It was unsurpassed!
Jansie, we enjoyed it so much. Most likely that there is no TV, we could walk down between the citrus groves to the river. Late at night I sat outside drinking coffee and watching the light of the tractor spraying the citrus trees with poison on the opposite hill. Your garden is beautiful and the turtle tree (elephant tree?) is very interesting. We will definitely spend the night with you again, the Gamtoos Valley is beautiful!

Overnight on holiday tour.
Due to a double booking misunderstanding, we were contacted early by the owner and instead Old Pollie checked in at Old Beary. What a pleasant surprise. The unit is large, with a lovely braai area and everything needed for a wonderful stay. We would definitely like to stay there again and see more of the area.

We stayed at Old Pollie on our way to the Baviaanskloof. It is very convenient and on the route.
Can stay here to explore Patensie and surroundings, or as we used it as a last overnight stop before entering the Bavian. The friendliness of the host and his anecdotes and stories about the area make the stay so much more pleasant. When you leave there you know that one day you will come back and stay there again.
