Rus vir jou siel.

Plek kort bietjie onderhoud, maar ons het baie lekker gebly. Die aanwysings kan opgedateer word, die GPS vat jou heeltemal verby die afdraaipad. Op die N4, ry deur Swartruggens Tolplaza, hou aan tot jy die bordjie Sterkstroomweg sien. Draai daar links, ry so 3-4 km op grondpad, dan is die plaashek aan jou linkerkant.

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.

Wonderlike wegbreek vir die naweek.

Die stukkie juweel in die Marico Bosveld is 'n moet vir mense wat weg wil breek van die stede. Baie primitief, stil en weggesteek tussen die berge. Al die primêre geriewe is daar, dit laat 'n mens weer terugkom om te waardeer wat ons het. En dit laat 'n goeie ervaring na om weer terug te wil kom na die paradys. Sal beslis weer teruggaan.

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.

Dit is die perfekte plek vir 'n romantiese naweek weg.

Die uitsig is asemrowend. Die huisie is skoon en mooi. Ons het buite gelê en na die sterre gekyk soos mens nooit in die stad sal sien nie. Die donkie werk baie goed. Ons het 'n kamp yskas wat met sonkrag werk saam gevat en as 'n vrieskas vir ys gebruik. Die huis se vrieskas is nie koud genoeg om ys te maak nie. Ons sal beslis weer terug gaan. Maar net vir langer!

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!

Very peaceful and private.

You can walk down to the gate and back along the fence line but you have to do a bit of Bundu bashing which made it interesting. The road in from the gate is rough but doable if you have a high-clearance vehicle (Ours was not a 4x4). The pool is fantastic, you walk out of the unit and basically into the pool - wonderful on a hot day. Everything in the unit worked.

Rus en vrede met ’n pragtige uitsig en ’n sterrehemel in die aand.

Die uitsig is asemrowend. Ons het die swembad en braai-area en natuurskoon baie geniet. Die sterre in die aand was besonders. Ons het ons klein vierbeen-skaduwee saamgevat en die naweek verskriklik geniet. Die donkie vuurmaak het my aan my kinderdae op my oupa se plaas laat dink. Ons sal vir seker weer teruggaan soontoe. Die eienaar was baie tegemoetkomend gewees, want ons het laat arriveer a.g.v. onvoorsiene omstandighede.

Verrassend, verfrissend anders!

Dit was so 'n heerlike verrassing om heeltemal vd grid af te wees. Geen TV en lekker vuur maak vir warm water. Wens ons kon langer bly om meer van hierdie eenvoudige lewe te ervaar. Die stap vroeg Saterdagoggend was verfrissend toe ons onverhoeds deur 'n reënbui oorval is en sopwaternat by die huisie terug gekom het. Dankie Karel dat jy die heeltyd kontak gehou het om seker te maak dat ons alles het wat nodig is en so gemaklik moontlik gemaak het. Dit was 'n perfekte wegbreek.

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.

Tops, tussen niks en nêrens.

Baie lekker gebly en beveel vir seker aan! Karel het goed kommunikeer met aanwysings en hulp gebied waar nodig. Het Berghuis skoon en netjies ontvang. Die laaities het die donkie stook ervaring geniet en was hele plek vol gewees. Was heerlik die rustigheid en om die plaas te kon stap en verken. Mooi sonsondergange. Braaigeriewe goed en beskut. Net iets kleins, dalk net die buiteligte veral by braai area hersien en by trappe vervang. Het gelukkig spreilig saamgeneem.

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.

Vinnige wegbreek.

Ons was 6 grootmense, 'n hond en 'n 3-jarige. Ons het baie gemaklik in die huisie gepas. Daar was 'n dubbelbed, 2 enkelbed-matrasse en 2 banke. Hulle het ook genoeg beddegoed gehad. Die eienaars is ongelooflik vriendelik en het nie omgee om te help nie. Ons het so bietjie verdwaal soontoe en die pad was nie mooi gemerk nie. Ongelukkig was die sonpaneel se battery nie vol gelaai nie so ons ligte het so bietjie gesukkel. Verder is die huis lekker warm en al die gereedskap wat mense nodig het is daar.

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.

Stil en rustige plek waar jy kan ontspan in 'n "splash pool" met 'n mooi uitsig.

Oulike huisie vir 'n klein gesin of 4 vriende. Karel Frauendorf is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en respekteer 'n mens se privaatheid. Baie gesellige, stil en rustige plekkie vir 'n vinnige wegbreek.

Relaxing.

The location is fantastic, views are beautiful. House has basic amenities (No 3 or 2 Point plug, only one USB charger). Solar panel runs out very quickly (but it also rained 2 days) and fire has to be made for warm water. Overall stay was very relaxing and a good detox.

Baie mooi uitsig, rustige natuur, maar daar is plek vir verbetering.

Die gashere het na ons gevra het, laat weet die een kar kan by hulle staan, aangesien dit te laag was vir die terrein, ons het dit waardeer. Met die aankoms na die naweek om die kar te kom haal was dit verskriklik gekrap. Hulle het geweet hoe laat ons die kar kom haal, was by die huis, maar het net nie uitgekom nie. Die huisie het baie potensiaal, maar dit kort baie aandag.

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.

Baie dankie vir julle kuier.
Soos ons gese het kon julle voertuig daar kom, maar julle wou nie. Ek is jammer julle voel so maar ons het net probeer help en ons wou ook net rustig wees nadat julle uit is en na 'n ander plek toe was.
Ons waardeer julle ondersteuning.
Baie dankie.

Eens in ’n leeftyd ervaring!

Dit was perfek om weg te kom met minimale tot geen aansteek risiko in die Covid-19 tydperk. Daar is niks of niemand wat jou pla nie, jy weet jou kinders is veilig. Die “donkie” wat gebruik moes word vir warm water was nou wragtig ’n belewenis vir ons en veral vir ons twee seuntjies van 4 en 8. Selfs die kettie-skiet was iets wat hulle nie ken nie. Ons sal beslisweer daarheen gaan. Dankie Karel!

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!

Bushveld escape with a view.

Die Berghuis is the perfect spot for a couple or small family, with only one room and single beds in the living room. Privacy was excellent - there are no other houses or people around and we felt safe enough to sleep on the verandah and enjoy the cool night air and brilliant stars. The little plunge pool is heavenly, especially as it does get hot and the afternoon sun streams onto the verandah. The kitchen is equipped with basics and there is everything one needs for the braai. We'll come here again for sure but bring a tin opener, grater and some bowls. The owner was an excellent host - he was readily available on WhatsApp, and even popped round when we wanted to meet him on our departure.

'n Ongelooflike plek om 'n bietjie sielsrus te vind. Wens net ons kon langer gebly het..

Die afgeleëheid, die stilte en die uitsig was vir ons van die beste hoogtepunte. Die kinders het die swemput geniet en die ervaring van die donkie stook vir warm water was vir hulle 'n nuutjie wat hulle sommer gou-gou oorgeneem het. 'n Paar voorstelle is dat daar bietjie meer stoorplek vir kombuisgerei onder die bestaande tafel/werksoppervlakte aangebring kan word, want ek glo dat meeste mense maar ekstra goed saambring en dan raak werkspasie effe van 'n probleem. Die voorsiening van genoeg hout was glad nie 'n probleem nie en ek dink Karel moes na ons vertrek weer erg aanvul. Providiant moet maar liefs saamgeneem word, want Groot Marico het basies geen winkels nie en die naaste dorp is Swartruggens. Ons het met 'n 4x4-bakkie gery wat die grondpad met meer as gemak gery het, en enige 4x4, AWD nutsvoertuig (of enige voertuig wat redelike grondvryheid gee) gaan jou ook daar bo en weer af kry, maar voertuie soos 'n gewone sedan gaan dalk skade optel vanweë die los klippe en veranderende terrein. Om meer wild te kon waarneem sou fantasties gewees, en dit was so heerlik om in die veld te kon rondstap en jouself net te kon verloor. Ons gaan definitief weer terug sodra ons kan.

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.

'n Perfekte naweek- bestemming vir 'n wegbreek. As jy die persoon is wat van die bosveld hou en om weg te breek van die besige stadslewe dan is hierdie beslis 'n plek om te besoek. Sal beslis die plekkie 'n gereelde bestemming maak op die kalender.

Out in the middle of nowhere, the views, exposed to the elements, the storm, the barking baboons.

If you like a rustic place, privacy, getting away from it all, no TV, gas for cooking and refrigeration, solar for lighting and recharging you phone, but not for more intense electronics, if you like the fire, the braai, bushveld views, the calls of the wild, the breathtaking landscapes, and your car can handle the gravel/slate road for several kilometres, and you don't mind stoking the donkey for a hot shower. Then you will love the freedom, the simplicity and the tranquility of Die Berghuis. You will find your hosts very helpful and hospitable.
