Eagle's Nest @ Die Poort Private Nature Reserve

Lovely quiet tranquil place. Definitely worth a revisit.

Absolutely fantastic place. So quiet. Beautiful spot. Lovely booklet with history and interesting things about the area. Recommend it.

Exceptional!

Relaxing sound of the river, starry nights, old school kitchen and the loveliest hosts. Thank you.

Heerlik rustig

Die akkommodasie bied heerlike afgesonderde verblyf weg van enige geraas-, lig- of elektro-besoedeling! Die kombuis is uitstekend toegerus en die sonkrag en gas werk goed. Ons gasheer en gasvrou was baie behulpsaam.

We stayed for 4 days and loved every minute.

What a spectacular place. We loved every moment of the quiet.

I was expecting quiet - that's what I got. Die Poort Private Nature Reserve is a charming destination.

Die Poort Private Nature Reserve is at the end of the road where the Gamka River exits the Swartberg having flowed from the Great Karoo past Die Hel. We were privileged to find the river flowing strongly. Fig Tree Cottage is surrounded by mountains - you're all on your own except for hosts Jenny and Jan who stay further along the road. Take your loadshedding lights with you - the solar-powered lights are not great and it's very dark at night. If solitude is not your thing, Die Poort Private Nature Reserve may be an imposition. If you long for a break from the rat race try Die Poort Private Nature Reserve - it's not a one-night stop. Spend time on the farm and recreate. The water supply was wonderful! Crystal-clear mountain water from a spring which seems never to have run dry. Thank you to Jenny, Jan and the Rabie family for sharing this beautiful place.

Onvergeetlike, wonderlike stilte tussen die berge.

Baie netjiese, gerieflike basiese geriewe. Ons het lekker gebly!

Rustig en mooi.

Ons het net gesukkel met die geyser. Die eienaar was baie behulpsaam maar ons kon nie in warm water stort. Die solar ligte het nie gewerk maar daar was 'n flitslig en fairy light.

Pragtig afgeleë, goed toegerus en lekker staproetes met indrukwekkende plante diversiteit.

Fig Tree cottage is 'n heerlike blyplek, goed toegerus en skoon. Die beligting in die huisie en anneks is gebrekkig, maak seker jy bring addisionele beligting saam. Die staproete in Steering se Kloof (dit het ons 3 uur geneem) is beslis die moeite werd!
