Kinder paradys op 'n pragtige plaas met asemrowende uitsigte.

Die kinders kon vir dae lank hier besig bly. Die speelplek is netjies en gerieflik naby die huisies, die tennisbaan en die games room was 'n wenner met ons ouer kind. Ons het as gesin ook 'n paar wandelroetes uitgeprobeer. Dit was so lekker tussen die wilde bokke met uitsigte oor die berge en die valleie. Michael was 'n gasvrye gasheer, hy het wortels gaan koop sodat ons kinders die ponies kon voer, en het ons almal saamgevat toe hy die wildsdiere gaan voer het. So het ons al die bokke en zebras gesien, en ook die hele plaas platgery. Dit was 'n heerlike bonus. Fonteinskloof is perfek vir 'n gesin met kinders, daar is meer as genoeg om oud en jonk besig te hou. Ons sal terug wees.

Children's paradise on a beautiful farm with breathtaking views.

The children could stay busy here for days. The playground is neat and conveniently close to the houses, the tennis court and the games room was a winner with our older child. We also tried out some hiking trails as a family. It was so nice among the wild goats with views of the mountains and the valleys. Michael was a gracious host, he went to buy carrots for us children to feed the ponies, and took us all along when he went to feed the wild animals. So we saw all the goats and zebras, and also flattened the whole farm. It was a lovely bonus. Fonteinskloof is perfect for a family with children, there is more than enough to keep young and old busy. We will be back.

Heerlike wegbreek in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Ons verkies om meestal in selfsorgeenhede te bly wanneer ons wegbreek. Ons eenheid by Fonteinskloof het alles wat mens moontlik sou nodig hê gehad. Michael was 'n goeie gasheer en het die ekstra myl gegaan om seker te maak alles is reg. Ons kon hom met gemak kontak indien ons hulp/inligting nodig gehad het. Ons jong dogters, 8 en 6 jaar oud, kon veilig rondbeweeg en het die swembad volop benut, al was dit effens koel.

Lovely break in a beautiful setting.

We prefer to stay mostly in self-catering units when we go away. Our unit at Fonteinskloof had everything one could possibly need. Michael was a great host and went the extra mile to make sure everything was ok. We could easily contact him if we needed help/information. Our young daughters, 8 and 6 years old, were able to move around safely and made full use of the pool, even if it was a bit cool.

Natuurskoon daar is pragtig, speelarea vir kinders baie oulik.

Ongelukkig het beide ek en my twee seuntjies begin respiratoriese simptome kry - redelik erg, toe ons daar was. My oë was bloedrooi, my seuns se borskasse was heeltemal toe en ek het begin siek raak. Toe ons tuis kom was ek skielik beter. Ek is 'n dr. en sal sterk aanbeveel dat hulle die eenheid check vir damp/mold, en die matrasse en dak check. Veral die hoofslaapkamerbed was vir my sleg, ek moes by die kinders slaap. Die eenhede kry min son, so dit is definitief 'n moontlikheid.

Scenery there is beautiful, play area for children very cute.

Unfortunately, both my two boys and I started having respiratory symptoms - pretty bad, when we were there. My eyes were blood red, my sons chests were completely closed and I started to get sick. When we got home I was suddenly better. I am a dr. and would strongly recommend that they check the unit for vapor/mould, and check the mattresses and roof. Especially the master bedroom bed was bad for me, I had to sleep with the children. The units get little sun, so this is definitely a possibility.

Baie aangename ervaring, goeie geriewe vir oud en jonk, persoonlike aandag wonderlik.

Het regtig baie lekker gekuier. Pragtige omgewing naby Swellendam en omliggende dorpe. Geriewe was uitstekend en die eienaar en bestuurder was baie gasvry en hulpvaardig. Wildrit was ook 'n hoogtepunt. Geriewe so beplan dat dit gebruik kan word onder alle weersomstandighede. Omgewing veilig.

Die ongerepte natuurskoon en die pragtige eko-huis het ons vir 'n 6 geslaan, ongelooflik!

Baie dankie Michael wat ons ontvang het, ons het sommer van begins af tuis gevoel. Ons was 'n groep van 8 persone en het sommer almal met my Isuzu dubbel kajuit gery en agter in het my suster en ons vriendin Annelise en die mooie Helga gesit, en op pad na die eko-huis waarna Michael ons vergesel het, was die drie dames op hul knieë, soos honde wat karre jaag, om na al die wild te kyk soos ons deur die wild kampe gery het, soveel so dat Annelise haar kop teen die kappie van die bakkie gestamp het oor die ruwe paadjie na bo waar die pragtige rustic ekohuis op ons gewag het. Dit is dan daar waar 'n ongelooflike naweek van saam kuier en gesels en die verwondering van die natuurskoon op ons gewag het. Ons was sprakeloos gelaat, korreksie, van ons was sprakeloos, en dan was daar dié wat alles wat hul sien in woorde in 'n stemtoon van verbasing en verwondering omgeskakel het, wow kyk hier julle, kyk die perdjies, ag moeder ma, en so het dit aangegaan. Baie dankie Fonteinskloof, dit was voorwaar 'n onvergeetlike wegbreek na 'n juweel van 'n plek wat jul daar teen die voet van die Langeberge koester, ons kom kuier vir seker weer. Groete van die Weskus pêlle.

The unspoiled natural beauty and the beautiful eco house hit us for a 6, amazing!

Thank you very much Michael for welcoming us, we felt at home right from the start. We were a group of 8 people and simply all drove with my Isuzu double cab and in the back sat my sister and our friend Annelise and the beautiful Helga, and on the way to the eco-house after which Michael accompanied us, the three ladies on their knees, like dogs chasing carts, to look at all the game as we drove through the game camps, so much so that Annelise bumped her head against the hood of the van over the rough path to the top where the beautiful rustic eco house was waiting for us. It is then there that an incredible weekend of visiting and talking together and the wonder of the natural beauty awaited us. We were left speechless, correction, some of us were speechless, and then there were those who put everything they saw into words in a tone of surprise and wonder, wow look here you, look at the little horses, oh mother mother, and so on it went on. Thank you very much Fonteinskloof, it was truly an unforgettable getaway to a jewel of a place that you cherish at the foot of the Langeberge, we will definitely come to visit again. Greetings from the West Coast pals.

Hi Stefan ,

Thanks so much for using Fonteinskloof. I really hope that I will meet you in the future. Thank you very much for your review. This is greatly appreciated. I was a little disturbed to see that our cleanliness rating was weak and I would really appreciate if you could assist me in attending to the areas that were not properly cleaned as we have prided ourselves on cleanliness but were unfortunately not present and I would like to indicate to Michael the areas we can improve on. Thanks once again for visiting Fonteinskloof and all the best to you and your family .
