Rustigheid met ’n avontuur.

Dis baie rustig met die wildkyk en die voetslaan het dit regtig wonderlik gemaak en ’n lekker swem na die loop was net perfek. Om die diere om jou te hê en te gaan sien was die moeite werd. Die mense daar is vriendelik, jy voel tuis.

Tranquility with an adventure.

It's very peaceful with the wildlife watching and the hiking made it really wonderful and a nice swim after the run was just perfect. Having the animals around you and going to see them was worth it. The people there are friendly, you feel at home.

Heerlik gekuier en fiets gery.

Eingedi was 'n baie lekker rustige ervaring met pragtige natuurskoon en menige fietsryroetes vir die gesin. Werner en Noleen was baie gasvry en ons kon lekker kuier. Die wildrit op die plaas was 'n hoogtepunt om ons kuier af te sluit.

Had a great time and bike ride.

Eingedi was a very nice and peaceful experience with beautiful scenery and many cycling routes for the family. Werner and Noleen were very hospitable and we were able to have a good time. The game drive on the farm was a highlight to end our visit.

Hi Jasper
Thank you for your review, and here are our answers to the points you raised.
The Freestate roads, as everyone knows by now, are in a terrible state. We patiently await upgraded conditions.
The Game Drive for the long weekend was scheduled for Friday afternoon, and you unfortunately only arrived on Saturday. We offer game drives by Unimog or bakkie whenever possible, as it is a highlight experience for our guests.
We offer base, mid, and peak rates to our guests. The weekend you chose fell into the peak season. We try to stay within the rates bracket of the surrounding accommodation establishment.

Die omgewing is mooi, en dit is in die natuur. Het die rustigheid geniet. Was die enigste kamppeerders by die kamp (tente) area.

Sal net die toilet/stortarea nader aan die tentkamparea oprig, want wat ons gebruik het was agter aan die opwasgedeelte waar jy jou skottelgoed ens. kan skoonmaak en dit was tussen die huisies. Die pad voor die afraai by hulle het ook verskriklike slaggate en dit is redelik groot vir km ver. Het ook glad nie die vuurput/braaiers skoongemaak die volgende dag nie. Die vullisdromme was ook nie naby waar die tentarea is nie, slegs by die verskillende huise. 9 uur die aand tot 8 uur die oggend was dit ook soos stiltetyd.

The environment is beautiful, and it is in nature. Enjoyed the tranquility. Were the only campers at the camp (tents) area.

Will just set up the toilet/shower area closer to the tent camping area as what we used was at the back of the washing up area where you do your dishes etc. can clean and it was between the houses. The road before the exit at them also has terrible potholes and it is quite big for km far. Also didn't clean the fire pit/grills at all the next day. The garbage bins were also not near where the tent area is, only by the various houses. From 9 o'clock in the evening to 8 o'clock in the morning it was also like quiet time.

Lovely stay would have picked free standing units.

Neat and clean and well run with great support from the owners on all needs. Nice farm with great views and game within property (by bicycle for us). We also cycled for 3 days on the district dirt roads, with lovely farms and views, doing typically 60 km loops. The farming area is safe and a gem for cycling on predominantly smooth roads for mountain bicycles. Note: Thorns on the road edges require the use of tubeless tyres.

Edgar, we are glad you enjoyed your visit. The farm and animals managed to discover the local surrounding area. It was great having you.

Absolutely stunning, this was by far one of my best short stops to date.

Our hosts were very friendly, cottages was clean and had everything we needed. Upon arrival we were told we could go on a self-drive game drive (4x4 needed), we watched the sunset from the top of the mountain and enjoyed sightings of various game, this place definitely deserves another extended stay on my next trip as one night is not enough to enjoy all this venue has to offer. In closing a definite must for anybody who enjoys the outdoors.

Rustig en stil en in die natuur - het dit baie geniet en wens ons kon langer bly.

Dit is werklik 'n "retreat" - daar is nie eens selfoonontvangs nie! Ons het die perfekte eenheid gehad - weg van alles en almal. Die houthuisie het alles in wat mens nodig het en alles was baie netjies en skoon. Vir natuurliefhebbers wat wil wegkom van die stadsgejaag sal ek dit enige tyd aanbeveel. Daar is nuwe eienaars en ek is seker hulle gaan 'n groot sukses van die oord maak. Wil net noem dat die restaurant nie op die oomblik in bedryf is nie.

Peaceful and quiet and in nature - really enjoyed it and wish we could have stayed longer.

This is truly a "retreat" - there isn't even cell phone reception! We had the perfect unit - away from everything and everyone. The wooden house has everything you need and everything was very neat and clean. For nature lovers who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, I would recommend it anytime. There are new owners and I am sure they will make the resort a great success. Just want to mention that the restaurant is not in operation at the moment.

Die verblyf was skoon en beskikbaar by aankoms in 'n baie rustige omgewing.

Die aanwysings is duidelik, maar die borde om die plek aan te dui was net vanaf Ladybrand sigbaar. Ons het telefonies probeer kontak, maak maar daar was geen reaksie op die landlyn nie. Later is ons wel geskakel deur die eienaar wat toe die pad verduidelik het. Verblyf was baie aangenaam. Wat ons wel beïndruk het, was dat die eienares ons kom verwelkom het.

The directions are clear, but the signs to indicate the place were only visible from Ladybrand. We tried to contact by phone, but there was no response on the landline.

It's a lovely, safe lodge with friendly owners and plenty of game to view.

The chalets were clean and neat with everything one would require for self-catering. There are no TV`s in the chalets, which I prefer, and therefore one can enjoy stargazing with the family. You are allowed to do your own game drive viewing at the luxury of your own time management as long as you drive a 4x4. I can recommend this destination for a weekend getaway.
