Quiet getaway weekend - note the 4x4 requirement though.
A lovely, peaceful getaway weekend. Neat, clean cottage, well equipped with everything one might need. Sufficient firewood was provided to ward off the winter chill. Friendly and helpful service from Andette and Andre. Note, however, that the shortest road includes 3km of dirt road which is definitely only suitable for a 4x4 car. However, we drove the road a few times to get into Dullstroom and it's completely doable if you take it slow!

Incredible experience.
It was a lovely weekend on the farm! Accommodation is clean and tidy. Lovely fireplace inside. Everything you need is there. Owners are very friendly, helpful, accommodating and sociable, even help make sure you catch that trout! Caught brown and rainbow trout. It was our second time there and will definitely go again. The dogs also really enjoyed it and it was so nice to take them along. We would recommend it to anyone who wants the outdoors, tranquility, beautiful scenery and good trout fishing.

Quiet, cool, fun!
Just me and my two boys had so much fun! Mom was able to rest and the boys were so happy and entertained by the kind, patient uncle who gave me a gift of rest. I don't know who enjoyed it more - me, the boys, or our three little dogs. We discovered the freedom of farm life. All I want to say is make sure you're driving the right way. Although I have a 4x4, the dirt road was rough and you have to know what you are doing. It's a road and a half, but at least we had a great adventure and stories to tell. I would strongly recommend taking the detour instead, the road is MUCH more difficult and it's not much further. But everything together was very nice!

Excellent getaway with silence and views to dream of!
We had an incredibly nice weekend and rested wonderfully. The facilities are perfect and well equipped. The silence was so nice, no one seen in the 3 days except the excellent host, Andre and Andette. The visit was too short, will definitely go again. The weather was rainy, would suggest guests take some board games with them.

Breathtaking.
Everything was neat and everything and more there to make your visit wonderful. Andre and his daughter very friendly, Andre enjoys sharing knowledge about the farm and his dog Buela is a natural love, he accompanies you on walks and keeps you safe and laughing with all his antics, he got on well with the two of us scotties. The surroundings are beautiful and the silence necessary for a tired soul. Here you can definitely reset. I definitely recommend a 4x4 vehicle, I did it with my Kia Soul but was a bit nervous. But for that view I do it again.

Special place for special times!
Gabrielshoek is beautifully located, we enjoyed the scenery and tranquility so much. It felt completely like we were staying on our own piece of farm among the mountains. The cottage was spotlessly clean and is very well furnished and there is even a fence in front of the cottage where the dogs can be properly enclosed, if necessary. Buela is a gentle giant and our two dogs enjoyed running around the field with him. We will definitely visit again.

Silence, we have properly reloaded!
We probably enjoyed the silence the most, and that's why we slept so well. The most beautiful view down the valley, and your eyes can occasionally focus on the beautiful mountains and ridges around was heavenly. Baboons with sunset hear bog gum, foxes heard too. The cottage's hearth is a winner. We will definitely visit Gabrielhoek again.

We chose Gabrielshoek for our accommodation for a wedding. We were a bit nervous about the difficult and bad roads, but the owners put us at ease and helped us out in the middle of the night when we got stuck in the mud. The place is incredibly beautiful and gave our family some time to just relax and breathe. Will visit again for sure!

Hi Etienne
Dankbaar jul het dit geniet.
Ongelukkig kan ons niks aan die provinsiale grond pad se toestand doen nie. Ons rapporteer die toestand egter gereeld by die plaaslike paaie department om seker te maak hul kom die pad skraap, maar dit gebeur slegs eenmal 'n jaar.
Ons vra geen tarrief vir "catch and release" van forrel nie, maar ons per kg tarrief indien jy 'n vis wil hou is inlyn met die gemiddelde prys per kg vir die omgewing. Die tarriewe word beinvloed deur die koste per kg by forrel plase waar ons die vis aankoop, asook die vervoer van die vis na Gabrielshoek.
Groete
Andette

Weekend getaway with dogs.
We had a wonderful stay at Gabrielshoek. Our 2 dogs enjoyed themselves and my husband had a great time fishing. Beautiful farm to go for a walk and the view is breathtaking. The cottage was very well equipped and we were impressed with how clean and tidy it was. Really a pleasure. The fireplace is one of the nicest parts of the house and made it wonderfully cozy on a cold rainy weekend. The bit of dirt road to the farm is really only for tall vehicles, but we were warned against that. An alternative longer but safer route was also offered.
