Was a wonderful snow experience. Will certainly return in the summer.

We enjoyed our snow experience at the ranch. Despite the issues with the electricity, the hosts were very accommodating. The facilities in the unit and the resort were great. We went kayaking, horse riding and even got to milk the cows.

Flitwick Ranch 's response

Thank you kindly, Ferina. We are sorry about the electricity, as Escom was down for a few days due to the snow. We're grateful we had a generator as backup to help during most of the stay.
We're looking forward to your next visit.

Kind regards,
The Team at Flitwick Ranch

Such a lovely place that we will definitely visit again.

Our dinner was excellent and we loved the unexpected fine dining experience. The rooms were great with lovely views despite the cold weather. There is a country charm about the place that we have not experienced often and we would definitely recommend Flitwick to anyone traveling in the area. Next time we will need to stay a little longer to make the most of the surroundings.

Dit was die perfekte ruskans weg van die besige lewe.

Flitwick Ranch is die perfekte ontsnap van moderne lewe en gee mens een van die beste ruskanse. Die staff saam met Jurie en Marié was verskriklik vriendelik en gasvry, en die kos te koop by die Deli was van die lekkerste wat ons nog ooit gehad het. Daar is 'n verskeidenheid aktiwiteite wat mens kan doen by Flitwick, maar om op 'n koue dag net in te slaap terwyl die houtvuurstofie brand was net so lekker. Sal definitief weer besoek.

It was the perfect break away from the busy life.

Flitwick Ranch is the perfect escape from modern life and provides one of the best breaks. The staff together with Jurie and Marié were incredibly friendly and hospitable, and the food for sale at the Deli was some of the tastiest we have ever had. There are a variety of activities that one can do at Flitwick, but on a cold day just sleeping in while the log fire is burning was just as nice. Will definitely visit again.

Amazing accommodating in a beautiful location.

The pictures of the ranch fell short to convey the beautiful location and accommodation. There is a variety of rooms and types of accommodation to choose from. We opted for self-catering although we also enjoyed a meal at the restaurant, which had to be pre-booked. The kitchen and dining area in the 'house' is usually shared with other people if they also opt for self-catering, but we were on out own. It was very well equipped, with everything we needed, as well as a gas stove and oven, which helped when there was loadshedding. The staff went out of their way to assist us in every way. The area had a lot of rain before we and during our stay, which made the MTB roads quite a challenge, and we couldn't explore the area too much. However, they have various routes marked out for MTB snd hiking and Horseriding (more suitable for experienced riders). There's also a small dam with canoes. Definitely a place to recommend.

Dear Anel, thank you kindly for your review. It was wonderful having you on the farm and we hope to see you again in future.

Lekker op die plaas.

In die Garden Cottage is daar vyf slaapeenhede met 'n gesamentlike eetkamer, sitkamer en kombuis. Elke eenheid het sy eie badkamer en koffie- en teegeriewe. Ons het ook 'n heerlike balkon gehad met buitebraaigeriewe. Goed toegerus, smaakvol en gerieflik, lekker warm geslaap. Toe oondjie gestook was, was die water in die stort ook lekker warm. Baie om te sien en doen.

Nice on the farm.

In the Garden Cottage there are five sleeping units with a joint dining room, lounge and kitchen. Each unit has its own bathroom and coffee and tea facilities. We also had a lovely balcony with outdoor braai facilities. Well equipped, tasteful and comfortable, slept nice and warm. When the oven was fired up, the water in the shower was also nice and warm. Lots to see and do.

Beautiful ranch, very nice people, amazing food.

The gravel road to the ranch was extremely muddy after rain and in a turn descending a hill we slipped and the car flipped on its side. The ranch was very helpful and their mechanics pulled us out of the ditch right away. Even though we didn't pre-order food the chef prepared an amazing meal for us. The room was beautiful. It was a little cold but we had a fireplace and electric blankets so it wasn't an issue. We could have done self-catering but the food in the deli is amazing and definitely worth its price. The landscaping at the ranch and its surroundings is beautiful, but just in case of bad weather I would recommend taking a 4x4 or at least a bigger car like an SUV so that you don't slip or even flip on the dirt road like we did.

Flitwick Ranch 's response

Thank you for your kind review Revan. Please accept our apologies for the unfortunate incident with the muddy road. We're grateful you're both safe and hope to see you again someday.
We wish you all the best.

A most comfortable stay in the old cheese factory on a working farm in beautiful surroundings.

The communal kitchen, lounge and braai area were perfect for self-catering. Lots of walks, MTB trails and fishing at the large dam about 2.5km down the valley. For a fly fisherman the ideal would be to have trout in the dam, rather than bass but fun nonetheless!

A total life change. Absolutely brilliant!

As I do most mails in English, my apologies for replying back in English and not in my mother tongue. Let me start by saying that no amount of words can explain the experience myself and family had the last week. Leaving for home yesterday, I felt that I saw a piece of heaven, that will forever be in my thoughts and the longing to go back as soon as possible. As I do quite a lot of travelling, I have not encountered anything like this. The loving manner in which we were received, and looked after every day will stay with our family for years to come. Katie have taken it upon herself to make us comfortable, and shown us a part of their day to day lives that we as Corporates can only dream off. From milking the cow’s at 5 in the morning to making sure the little Lammers had their milk, taking us on a personalised bakkie ride to have a look at how she and her “Volk” are in sink with the day to day activities. The theme of the Ranch, together with the tranquillity of the perfect setting and decor really makes this the perfect breakaway. I need to mention our absolute gratitude toward Jurie, who are according to my wife (and me) the best chef ever, as his food and personality are not seen anywhere and are second to none. Jurie, thanks for your friendship the last week, and looking after us. I will recommend Flitwick Ranch as a 5 star breakaway destination and as described by my wife – “a hidden gem”, and a piece of Heaven not to far from Home. Thanks again to Katie and her Family, for making this the most memorable breakaway ever.

Baie lekker en rustig.

Dit is 'n baie rustige omgewing. Diens was goed en Jurie baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Het 1 aand geëet by die Deli. Kos was lekker en baie keurig voorgesit. Tuine is pragtig. Linne is van goeie kwaliteit en bed gemaklik. Bad en stort in ons kamer was in een, ek is nie seker of ander kamers dalk die opsie van net 'n instapstort het nie. Grondpad daarheen is nie baie lank nie en is in 'n redelike goeie toestand selfs na harde reënbuie. Daar is maklik staproetes om te doen.

The bath and shower was combined, so not sure if some of the other rooms have the option of a walk in shower. The gravel road leading there is not too long and in a good condition, even after hard rains. There are some easy walking trails too.
