Quite, peacefull farm setting. Eccentric and wonderful.

Our host was super and the "Bohemian" setting on the farm was exciting to stay at. The cottage is fully equipped and very clean. Loved it!

Kos vir die siel.

Michelle is 'n uitstekende gasvrou en baie behulpsaam. Die huis is 'n skatkis van al haar reiservaringe en dit was voorwaar 'n voorreg om haar persoonlike ruimte te kon geniet. 'n Mens het werklik deel van die natuur gevoel en alhoewel dit nie te ver van 'n pad geleë is nie, was die verkeer geensins steurend.

Food for the soul.

Michelle is an excellent hostess and very helpful. The house is a treasure trove of all her travel experiences and it was truly a privilege to be able to enjoy her personal space. One really felt part of nature and although it is not too far from a road, the traffic was in no way disturbing.

Peaceful, scenic, private.

Special home filled with much love and care. Views of the calm dam and the rushing river! Space to reconnect, chill and appreciate one’s surroundings. Owner was amazing and made us feel right at home!

Pragtige ligging met wonderlike uitsigte en totaal privaat.

Huis is slegs geskik vir 'n gesin, te wete, egpaar met kinders. Die boonste verdieping het geen plafonne nie en is daarom oop bo en geen privaatheid in kamers of badkamers nie. Ons het vriende saam gehad wat werklik die privaatheid ontneem het.

Beautiful location with great views and totally private.

House is only suitable for a family, i.e. couple with children. The upper floor has no ceilings and is therefore open above and no privacy in rooms or bathrooms. We had friends over which really took away the privacy.

Thank you for your positive description and your constructive feedback.
I have been trying to source old fashioned pressed ceilings for a while now.
Difficult to come by. I am hoping to see some this week.
Sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused during your stay.

Interessante, eksentrieke en rustieke huis, maar dam onbeskikbaar.

Michelle het haar hart en haar lewe in die huis gestort, wat mens kan waardeer. Michelle was baie gaaf en behulpsaam. As jy hou van die ongewone, die meer rustieke, baie aardse en heel eksentrieke ervaring en tipe verblyf, dan kan jy dit oorweeg. Mooi uitsig met die rivier voor die huis en die dam langsaan, maar nie noodwendig 'n gemaklike huis nie. Kort verblyf is aanvaarbaar, maar meer as 2 dae kan vervelig raak met min om te doen, die groot dam is nie vir gebruik of beskikbaar nie, rivier was te rof om in te swem of speel. Die kinders het die tafeltennis en snoeker baie geniet. Ons het gevoel die sitkamermeubels moet vervang word / oorgetrek word, en beter beddegoed moet verskaf word om die nodige gerieflikeheidselemente te verskaf, veral vir die prys. En iets wat die kamers laat lekker ruik. Blinders vir die hoofkamer en badkamer sou ook help met meer privaatheid, asook dalk 'n deur vir die kamer oorweeg.

Interesting, eccentric and rustic house, but dam unavailable.

Michelle poured her heart and her life into the house, which you can appreciate. Michelle was very nice and helpful. If you like the unusual, the more rustic, very earthy and quite eccentric experience and type of accommodation, then you can consider this. Nice view with the river in front of the house and the dam next to it, but not necessarily a comfortable house. Short stay is acceptable but more than 2 days can get boring with little to do, the big dam is not for use or available, river was too rough to swim in or play. The children really enjoyed the table tennis and snooker. We felt the lounge furniture needed to be replaced / reupholstered, and better bedding provided to provide the necessary comfort elements, especially for the price. And something that makes the rooms smell nice. Blinds for the main room and bathroom would also help with more privacy, as well as maybe consider a door for the room.

Surroundings are beautiful, house interesting.

I don't think the house is set up well for the cold right now. The rooms do not have ceilings and there are no curtains in front of the windows. Besides being very cold during the night, it didn't feel very safe and private. Michelle was very helpful and the place has a lot of potential.
