Rest for your soul.
Place needs some maintenance, but we had a great stay. The directions can be updated, the GPS takes you all the way past the turn off road. On the N4, drive through Swartruggens Tolplaza, keep going until you see the Sterkstroomweg sign. Turn left there, drive about 3-4 km on a dirt road, then the farm gate is on your left.

Wonderful getaway for the weekend.
The piece of jewel in the Marico Bosveld is a must for people who want to break away from the cities. Very primitive, quiet and hidden among the mountains. All the primary amenities are there, it makes one come back to appreciate what we have. And it leaves a good experience to want to come back to paradise again. Will definitely go back again.

It is the perfect place for a romantic weekend away.
The view is breathtaking. The house is clean and beautiful. We lay outside and looked at the stars like you would never see in the city. The donkey works very well. We took a camping fridge that works with solar energy and used it as a freezer for ice. The house's freezer is not cold enough to make ice. We will definitely go back again. But only for longer!

Rest and peace with a beautiful view and a starry sky in the evening.
The view is breathtaking. We really enjoyed the pool and braai area and scenery. The stars in the evening were special. We took our little four-legged shadow with us and enjoyed the weekend immensely. The donkey fire reminded me of my childhood on my grandfather's farm. We will definitely go back there again. The owner had been very accommodating, because we arrived late due to unforeseen circumstances.

Surprisingly, refreshingly different!
It was such a lovely surprise to be completely off the grid. No TV and a nice fire for hot water. Wish we could have stayed longer to experience more of this simple life. The walk early on Saturday morning was refreshing when we were unexpectedly overtaken by a downpour and came back to the cottage soaking wet. Thank you Karel for keeping in touch the whole time to make sure we had everything we needed and made it as comfortable as possible. It was a perfect getaway.

Very nice stay and definitely recommend! Karel communicated well with directions and offered help where needed. Received Berghuis clean and tidy. The drawers enjoyed the donkey stook experience and the whole place was full. The tranquility and being able to walk and explore the farm was wonderful. Beautiful sunsets. Braai facilities good and sheltered. Just something small, maybe just revise the outside lights especially at the braai area and replace them at the stairs. Luckily took floodlight with me.

Quick getaway.
We were 6 adults, a dog and a 3 year old. We fit very comfortably in the cottage. There was a double bed, 2 single mattresses and 2 couches. They also had enough bedding. The owners are incredibly friendly and don't mind helping. We got a little lost there and the road was not well marked. Unfortunately the solar panel's battery was not fully charged so our lights struggled a bit. Furthermore, the house is nice and warm and all the tools that people need are there.

Very nice view, peaceful nature, but there is room for improvement.
The hosts asked after us, let us know the one car could stand with them, as it was too low for the terrain, we appreciated that. On arrival after the weekend to collect the car it was terribly scratched. They knew what time we were coming to get the car, were at home, but just didn't come out. The cottage has a lot of potential, but it needs a lot of attention.

Once in a lifetime experience!
It was perfect to get away with minimal to no infection risk in the Covid-19 period. There is nothing or no one to bother you, you know your children are safe. The "donkey" that had to be used for hot water was really an experience for us and especially for our two boys aged 4 and 8. Even the chain-shooting was something they did not know. We will definitely go there again. Thanks Karel!

An incredible place to find some peace of mind. Only wish we could have stayed longer..
The remoteness, the silence and the view were some of the best highlights for us. The children enjoyed the swimming pool and the experience of the donkey cooking for hot water was a novelty for them which they quickly took over. A few suggestions are that there could be a little more storage space for kitchen utensils under the existing table/work surface, because I believe that most people just bring extra stuff with them and then work space becomes a bit of a problem. The supply of enough wood was not a problem at all and I think Karel had to replenish heavily after our departure. Providiant should preferably be taken with you, because Groot Marico basically has no shops and the nearest town is Swartruggens. We drove a 4x4 bakkie which handled the dirt road with more than ease, and any 4x4, AWD utility vehicle (or any vehicle that gives reasonable ground clearance) will also get you up there and back down, but vehicles like a normal sedan may take damage due to the loose rocks and changing terrain. Being able to spot more wildlife would be fantastic, and it was so lovely to be able to walk around in the field and just lose yourself. We will definitely go back again as soon as we can.
