Peaceful and nice weekend away.
We had a very nice stay. The house (we stayed in the Melkstal house) has everything you need, with a fireplace inside and also a nice porch outside to be able to braai. It is quiet and peaceful and exactly what one needs for a weekend away. The hostess was also very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again anytime.

Break away to the open.
It was lovely to see open fields and cornfields around me, just what we needed. The Melksthal is beautifully situated and the road to it was completely drivable, although the roads were damaged during the recent rains. The visiting areas have nice surprises everywhere and the farm pond was a welcome swimming spot for the children. We really enjoyed the big stoep and braai!

Lovely porch.
It was a pleasant weekend on the farm. The house is very pleasant with good facilities, but it was not properly clean. There was old rubbish in the ash bin, and the counter in the kitchen, as well as the stove, were dirty. The geyser is very sensitive, so we had a lot of trouble regulating the water in the shower.

Dankie vir terugvoer, Ida. Ek sal die geyser gaan stel! Jammer ook dat die stoof nie skoon was nie, dis vir my baie vreemd. Ek gaan beslis met my dame daaroor gesels. Sy het wel genoem dat julle seker ook nie die skottelgoedwas seep gesien het nie, want alles was vuil gelos. Afgesien van dit het julle nie net die handdoeke wat vir julle uitgesit was gebruik nie, maar 16 handdoeke wat in 'n kas gestoor was gebruik. Sal jy ook net dalk vir my loer vir 'n kombersie wat weg is. Ek wou jou al whatsapp. Laat weet my gerus. Mooi dag!

His Patrys was clean and tidy. The farm is quiet and we had a nice time in the late afternoon on the big stoep. It was lovely to listen to all the night sounds. We can definitely recommend the break from the city. Great service to everyone at the Melksthal.

Quiet, proper farm atmosphere.
Had the desire to introduce my children to farm life. Upon stepping in, it immediately gave me the feeling of a family farmhouse. Sheep with lambs, boer goats, horses, cattle, willow trees - my child was in love. Enjoyed it so much. The only note is that it was a bit difficult to regulate the water for the shower, but that comes with a farm. Be patient and regulate a little bit at a time and wait before setting further.

Nice and quiet on the farm.
Was a very nice break. We had small children together and had more than enough to do. The playground is large and nice and close to the house. Children especially enjoyed the zipline. The unit was nicely furnished in a modern way and the bedding felt 5 star. We were in Huis Patrys. Will definitely go again.

A piece of heaven away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The Melkstal is a homely, well-furnished old milking shed where the city dweller can breathe again. A piece of heaven where you can enjoy the sounds of cattle, sheep, donkeys, turtle doves, guinea fowls and a crowing rooster. The rooms are nicely decorated. The kitchen has everything you need. The braai place is any farmer's dream, three-legged potty included for pottjie food. Sarita is a friendly and helpful hostess. We will definitely visit there again.

Fairy tale for a city child.
Tired of the noise and rat trip of the city? The Dairy is located close to Johannesburg and is easily accessible. The bad cell phone signal and no TV make sure you spend quality time with your loved ones. Truly rest for the soul and body. The unit is equipped with everything (and more) you need in your kitchen. It's neat and cozy. The host and hostess make you feel welcome immediately. The picturesque surroundings and peace of mind are truly a 'Fairy Tale for a City Child'.

Goeiedag Muriel,
Jy is die eerste gas wat ongelukkig was met met ons fasilitiete, ons is wel oop gedurende die wintermaande.
Julle het die Bessie eenheid bepreek vir 1 volwassene en 1 kind. Jy het 'n ekstra kind saamgebring en ek het julle in ons hoof eenheid geplaas wat groter is. Die eenheid was skoon en reg vir gaste. Ek is baie trots op my instansie en die bestuur daarvan.
Ek vra om verskoning vir die warm water, Ek het ongelukkig nie 'n meter op my gas geyser wat vir ons kan sê as die gas klaar is nie, ons het dit dadelik gaan vervang toe jy my laat weet het.

Die Melkstal is a great place to spend a relaxing weekend. Facilities clean, neat and pleasant. Location a bit of a problem as one has to drive at least 30 km to the nearest shop or tourist attraction. Highly recommended to those looking for farm style living. Generally me and my girlfriend were happy with the place and would visit again.
