Dit was 'n heerlike rustige naweek, kon nie vir beter vra nie.

Ons sal beslis Groendraai River Cottages aanbeveel. Die plekkie was baie netjies en die dekor is baie smaakvol gedoen. Hulle het regtig aan alles gedink om die verblyf gemaklik te maak. Die "hot tub" was beslis 'n wenner.

It was a lovely peaceful weekend, couldn't have asked for better.

We would definitely recommend Groendraai River Cottages. The place was very neat and the decor was done very tastefully. They really thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. The "hot tub" was definitely a winner.

The best kind of peace and quiet.

Groendraai, well done on your execution of your houses, you have literally thought of every small thing your guests may need. A clean house, comfortable beds and pillows, we weren't even bothered by not having a TV. So many board games are supplied to keep you busy and of course the favourite steel "pool". We had so many birdies visit (so definitely great for birders) whilst just sitting outside. This place is the epitome of relaxing. You will see us again, thank you for a great stay!

A blissful, cozy retreat perfect for nature lovers seeking relaxation.

Absolutely stunning! We recently spent three blissfully relaxing days at Groendraai River Cottages, and it was everything we’d hoped for and more. Nestled along a peaceful riverbank, the cottages are cozy and thoughtfully equipped, offering the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Each morning, we woke to birdsong—a refreshing change from the city buzz. The attention to detail here is remarkable; everything from the décor to the amenities feels well thought out and inviting. We particularly loved the outdoor area, ideal for unwinding while taking in the incredible views of nature all around. The surrounding area offers plenty to explore, whether you’re into hiking, fishing, mountain biking, or simply enjoying a quiet picnic by the water. We left feeling completely rejuvenated and can't wait to return. Highly recommend Groendraai River Cottages to anyone looking for a serene escape into nature!

Dit was ons eerste plaasvakansie en beslis nie die laaste een nie!

Ons het baie lekker gebly, die rustigheid het almal goed gedoen. Ons het alles benut en geniet, van kanos in die rivier, in die sinkbad swem, voëls kyk tot die groot hout speletjies buite het almal baie vermaak. Judith en Simon was ook altyd byderhand as ons iets benodig. Baie dankie weereens vir die heerlike kuier, ons sien julle beslis weer!

Judith and Simon were also always at hand if we needed anything. Thank you very much again for the wonderful visit, we will definitely see you again!

Dit is 'n baie mooi plek wat lekker rustig is vir 'n wegbreek naweek of selfs 'n week. Daar is genoeg om te doen op die plaas en meer as genoeg om te doen om en in Vaalwater. Ek sal vir seker weer teruggaan.

Wat 'n heerlike plek om te ontspan. Die geriewe was topklas en daar was alles en meer wat mens sou verwag. Daar word ongelooflik baie moeite gedoen om die eenheid netjies en skoon te hou, dit lyk of die eenheid 'n maand terug gebou is. Die stoep is amazing.

Clean, comfortable weekend away.

Thank you for everything, including attention to detail which is exceptional. The accommodation is very well equipped. I took a walk around the farm and saw lots of the stunning scenery. For those intent on squeezing every drop of joy from their stay, nothing is better than a bike ride around the farm or a small boat trip down the dam and the river. I rested well here and will definitely return in summer when everything is nice and green.

A gem!

It is not often that my expectations are exceeded, but in this case they were. From the onset, the communication and administration was excellent, which is always a good sign. The online photos are already beautiful, but they actually do not do the venue justice. In real life, the setting is breathtaking. Every little detail and more has been considered by the owners. The units are tastefully decorated, very well equipped, and very neat and clean. We were celebrating a birthday and the host went to extra special effort to assist me in arranging balloon decorations as a surprise. We had a lot of rain, and as a result, the stretch of gravel road was slightly challenging; however, we managed fine with SUVs and a normal hatchback. A vehicle with very low ground clearance might battle. The WiFi is not very reliable, but if you're looking at spending quality time with friends and family, this is not necessarily a negative in my opinion. We will definitely be back!

Overall pleasant and comfortable experience in the peaceful grasslands.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Groendraai River Cottages for three nights and overall we had a pleasant experience. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, cozy, and well-equipped, offering a peaceful retreat with beautiful scenery. The activities include kayaking on the nearby river, mountain biking, and walking on nearby trails. We enjoyed the birdlife right from our doorstep. The drive to the small town of Vaalwater involved a bumpy dirt road, but we enjoyed the tranquility of the location. The accommodation had a few minor issues: the gas stove didn't always work, the electric kettle had some limescale, and the bed and couch were quite hard. However, we really appreciated how organised and professional the hostess was. Despite the minor issues that can be fixed, we highly recommend future couples or families of 4 to visit. We were happy with our stay and appreciated the serene environment.

Groendraai River Cottages 's response

Hi Claire, thank you for your thorough review, especially of all our activities - so glad you took part in them. Most of our guests prefer a firm mattress, so that’s what we have in our cottages, but we also have a feather topper to give a ‘sleep on a cloud’ feeling. Thank you for pointing out the stove problem - we had a technician over to check it. Hope to have you soon again!

Thank you for providing us with the best customer service from the start to the end. We really appreciate you. It was a fantastic getaway. We heard the hippos at night and even saw elephants on our way to town. We stayed in Sunfish, which is perfect for a family. We braaied and played enjoyable board games, and we had walks by the river. We even tried to catch a fish. Thank you, we had a great time.

Lovely cottage, beautiful and quiet farm.

I stayed in Stargazer, stunning cottage, loved the style. The host thought of everything, from games to gazebo in case you fancy a picnic outdoors next to the dam. The only thing I did not like is that it is too close to the other cottage, I could hear the family next door talking, word by word. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.

Groendraai River Cottages 's response

Hi Ziphora - so glad that you’ve enjoyed your stay with us. You are correct, the two small cottages are next to each other. They are however private, so guests do not see each other. We also don’t allow loud music, as our guests visit us to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Sorry if you’ve had some loud talkers next to you this time - hope to see you soon.

Awesome.

Stunning, alles wat 'n mens nodig het is daar, dekor is uit 'n boek. Luuks en die rustigheid van die bosveld is 'n belewenis.

Rus en Vrede op die mooie plaas en in uitmuntende akkommodasie!

Saamweestyd en onthou-oomblikke saam geliefdes! Groendraai River Cottages is die mooiste huisie en so keurig toegerus. Fynste detail, dankie Marissa! Ons het heerlik gekuier, die sterre is asemrowend mooi en die pragtige landerye vol wit Amaryllis was voorwaar 'n groot pluspunt. Julle piekniek area by Klipspruit is 'n moet besoek, die natuur is onbeskryflik mooi! Baie dankie, ons sal graag weer kom kuier!

Lekker rustig en gerieflik.

Die Groendraai River Cottages is baie gerieflik. Ons was baie verbaas met al die klein goed wat aan gedink is om dit so maklik en lekker as moontlik te maak. Alles wat jy aan kan dink, was reeds in die cottage vir ons gemak sonder om te vra daarvoor. Baie lekker gesit in die warm swembad wat met hout warm gemaak word. Rustig langs die rivier en 'n groot stoep om te ontspan. Ons sal beslis weer daar kom kuier.

The Groendraai River Cottages are very comfortable. We were very surprised with all the little things that were thought of to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible. Everything you can think of was already in the cottage for our convenience without asking for it. Very nice sitting in the warm pool which is heated with wood. Quiet by the river and a large veranda to relax. We will definitely visit again.

Heerlikste verjaardag naweek ooit.

Ons gesin is daar waar kwaliteit gesins tyd vir ons belangrik is. Groendraai was 'n sprokieswegbreek met hope mooi herinneringe. Marissa is 'n puik gasvrou wat 'n juweel van 'n plek geskep het wat sy met liefde met ander deel. Die aandag aan detail is onbeskryflik. Een van die lekkerste wegbreek naweke nog. Groendraai sal ons beslis weer sien.

At a loss for words.

I still cannot believe I found this absolute gem. I searched long and hard for a getaway in the bush that would not break the bank. Weeks in fact. When I found Groendraai, I thought there must be a catch, but really there wasn't. From the moment I made the booking to this moment that I write this review, it's been such a blessing and privilege. Marissa is a wonderful host, very thorough in her communications, very responsive and absolutely runs her business with heart. The accommodation was fantastic. It catered for everything! It was practical, luxurious, comfortable and so relaxing. The farm is so beautiful and river in front of the unit was the cherry on top! We already want to book our next stay and can confidently say we will become regulars! Strongly recommend!

Die detail en moeite wat Marissa doen met elke klein dingetjie, van lekker filterkoffie, tot snoesige komberse, tot oulike loadshedding liggies. Te veel om op te noem.

Wegbreeknaweek saam met manlief. Was stil en rustig! Pragtige omgewing. Voedsel vir die siel.

Ons het in Silvercarb gebly. Vanaf ons die bespreking bevestig het, het Marissa vir ons al die inligting gestuur van die huis en wat alles daar is om te doen. Ons het presies geweet waar om te gaan en wat om te doen om daar uit te kom en in te boek. Die huis het alles in wat jy nodig het. Klein goedjies wat die verblyf lekkerder gemaak het. Daar is 'n warmbad, 'n Nespresso-koffiemasjien met pods en 'n lekker gaskaggel in sitkamer. 'n Vreeslike mooi stoep met 'n eetkamerstel, asook 'n groot sitkamerstel. Twee lekker lêstoele waar jy kan ontspan en vir die natuur kyk. Vreeslik baie voëls, onthou jou verkyker en die sterrekyk is awesome. Dis veilig en die stukkie grondpad na die huis kan 'n gewone kar ook ry. Sal definitief Silvercarp aanbeveel! Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Weekend getaway with hubby. Be quiet and peaceful! Beautiful surroundings. Food for the soul.

We stayed in Silvercarb. From the moment we confirmed the reservation, Marissa sent us all the information about the house and what there is to do. We knew exactly where to go and what to do to get there and book in. The house has everything you need. Little things that made the stay more enjoyable. There is a hot tub, a Nespresso coffee machine with pods and a nice gas fireplace in the living room. A very nice porch with a dining room set, as well as a large living room set. Two nice reading chairs where you can relax and watch nature. An awful lot of birds, remember your binoculars and the stargazing is awesome. It's safe and the piece of dirt road to the house can also be driven by an ordinary car. Would definitely recommend Silvercarp! We had a very nice stay.

Wonderlike plek.

Groendraai en Silver Carp is stunning. Was lekker om die werkende plaas op ons fietse te verken en die huisie gee die gevoel van 'n luukse lodge, het als gehad wat ons nodig gehad het, en meer. Wil beslis weer terug gaan vir 'n langer tydperk, 2 nagte was te min.

Wonderful place.

Groendraai and Silver Carp are stunning. It was fun exploring the working farm on our bikes and the cottage feels like a luxury lodge, had everything we needed and more. Would definitely go back again for a longer period, 2 nights was too little.

Wow! Groendraai het ons verwagtinge oortref. Dis luukse akkommodasie op die mooiste plaas! Daar is so baie aandag aan detail gegee om die verblyf so gemaklik as moontlik te maak. Die komplimentêre bottel wyn was heerlik terwyl ons saans na die mooiste sonsondergange gekyk het. Die piekniekarea op die plaas was verseker n hoogtepunt sowel as om op die rivier te kon roei.

Baie lekker!

Hierdie plek verleen hom tot pragtige foto's. Ons verblyf was heerlik, ons het die stoep met sy eie braai vreeslik geniet. Die plekkie is pragtig binnekant. Die boma die laaste aand was 'n hoogtepunt. Wanneer ons iets gekort het was daar spoedig iemand om dit vir ons te bring, die mense is so gasvry. Ons het werklik net gerus en ons batterye herlaai. Lieflike piekniekspot waarby ook die mooiste foto's geneem kan word. Ag dit was net lekker en ontspannend, ongelooflike goeie waarde vir geld. Marissa was vreeslik behulpsaam van begin tot einde en het alle moontlike inligting deurgegee. Dankie Groendraai, ons sal weer kom!

This place lends itself to beautiful photos. Our stay was wonderful, we really enjoyed the porch with its own braai. The place is beautiful inside. The boma on the last night was a highlight. When we needed something there was soon someone to bring it to us, the people are so hospitable. We really just rested and recharged our batteries. Lovely picnic spot where the most beautiful photos can also be taken. Oh it was just nice and relaxing, incredibly good value for money. Marissa was extremely helpful from start to finish and passed on all possible information. Thank you Groendraai, we will come again.

Luukse akkommodasie.

Ons het by Groendraai River Cottages gebly en die verblyf was van die hoogste kwaliteit. Marissa se "special touch" om aan alles te dink om dit vir haar gaste so gerieflik as moontlik te maak, was daar. Alles was net perfek! Ons het die hot tub so geniet onder die sterre en die stoep is ongelooflik lekker om oral te sit en te kuier. Kan vir enige iemand aanbeveel as jy 'n 5-ster plek in die bosveld wil beleef. Dankie Marissa vir die heerlike verblyf.

A great place to visit with friends with great amenities.

We stayed in the Silver Carp and Sunfish rooms. Silver Carp was absolutely phenomenal and catered to our needs the whole weekend, even with load shedding! Sunfish is a slightly smaller and less equipped room, but still able to provide what is needed! We really had a great time and will be back! It is a bit far for a weekend away if you're from Joburg, so a long weekend would be ideal!

Pragtige uitsig, rustig en alles wat jy nodig het!

Die kliëntediens en kommunikasie van al die inligting was uitstekend - en dit is seker wat die meeste uitgestaan het, want dit het alles soveel makliker gemaak en 'n mens gerus gestel. Die plek is pragtig met 'n uitsig oor die rivier en jy kan heerlik op die stoep sit en die sonsondergang geniet. Die huis is so goed toegerus i.t.v. fasiliteite en die eienaars het gedink aan alles wat moontlik nodig kan wees - so dit maak die naweek weg gemaklik en kommervry.

Beautiful view, quiet and everything you need!

The customer service and communication of all the information was excellent - and that's probably what stood out the most because it made everything so much easier and put you at ease. The place is beautiful with a view over the river and you can sit on the veranda and enjoy the sunset. The house is so well equipped in terms of facilities and the owners have thought of everything that could possibly be needed - so it makes the weekend away comfortable and worry free.

Rustige wegbreek.

Ons naweek by Groendraai in Silvercarp was net wat nodig was om weg te kom van die stadsgejaag! Die huis is pragtig en netjies met 'n heerlike kuierstoep. Ons kon lekker stap, fietsry, kajak en visvang. Die kommunikasie en hulpvaardigheid van die eienaars was fantasies!

They not only met my expectations but the exceeded them. When we mentioned that we needed picnic nibbles they made sure we got what we needed with no hassle. I intend coming back. Will book closer to the year ending. Might just book the whole place. The picnic spot is just to die for️️.

The unit was luxurious and offered many extras to make the stay memorable.

Wow! Aandag aan kleinste detail! Wonderlike kuierplek vir familie en vriende!

Vanaf die oomblik dat jy daar instap sien jy die sorg en liefde waarmee alles gedoen is: die pragtige binneversiering - aandag aan die kleinste detail; so goed toegerus - van die kombuis tot die speletjies, fietse, kanoes! Alles is so goed versorg en onderhou tot die fasilitiete by die lieflike pieniekplek langs die dam - braaihout, plonsbad, skoon toilet, stort! Hierdie mense gee regtig om, ek het van die eerste oomblik af ontspan! Sal vir seker terugkom saam met familie en vriende!

5-ster? Definitief nie!

Ek het geen idea hoekom Groendraai dink hulle is 5-ster nie. Met die intrek op die stofpad was ons huisie oewer oë se rigting. Die foto's het beloftes gemaak van 'n lekker groot stoep, mooi kombuis, snussige slaapkamer. En tot ons verbasing was hierdie glad nie wat ons gekry het nie. Dit was meer soos 6-ster! Die lekker lyfwasseep het elemente van suurlemoengras wat 'n mens nie eens kry in luukse hotelle nie. Om nie eens te praat van die sjampoe nie! Marissa het uit haar pad gegaan om ons te help aankom nadat ons soos regte dorps-japies verdwaal het. My fiets se band het op roete 'n blaps begaan en sy het dadelik een van hulle fietse geoffer. Boonop het sy vir ons die airfryer wat net in die ander cottages is gegee om te gebruik. Én een van haar mense het die volgende dag op die dorp gaan kyk of hulle die band kon vervang. 'n Mens is maar sku en bring maar jou luukhede saam. Soos jou Sodastream-masjien. Maar dan vergeet jy natuurlik die bottels. Weereens, slaan ek my oë op na die pragtige houtmuurrak en wat staan daar? Jip, een van die fênsie goed. Sommer beter as myne! Elke liewe dag vir 3 dae was die weer sonnig. Pragtig. En die laaste aand het Vaalwater vir ons die reen gewys. So so mooi. Die plaas se mense is so vriendelik en my enigste klagte is dat ons nie genoeg tyd gehad het om die hele plaas te verken nie. Mense praat van sonsondergangs, maar wragtig het ek nog nooit sulke prentjiemooi oomblikke beleef nie. So dus moet ons nou maar terug gaan vir nog 'n kuiertjie. Nie net om wéér so openhartig en warm ontvang te word nie maar om die res van ons 'te doen' dinge af te merk. Dankie Marissa, jou passie skyn deur en deur op die pragtige, gerieflike en goed toegeruste cottages.

5 star? Definitely not!

I have no idea why Groendraai thinks they are 5-star. Upon moving onto the dirt road, our little house was on the shore. The photos made promises of a nice big porch, nice kitchen, cozy bedroom. And to our surprise, this was not what we got at all. It was more like 6 star! The nice body wash soap has elements of lemongrass that one doesn't even find in luxury hotels. Not to mention the shampoo! Marissa went out of her way to help us arrive after we got lost like real townies. My bike's tire went flat on the route and she immediately sacrificed one of their bikes. In addition, she gave us the airfryer that is only in the other cottages to use. And one of her people went to town the next day to see if they could replace the tire. One is only shy and only brings one's luxuries with one. Like your Sodastream machine. But then of course you forget the bottles. Again, I look up at the beautiful wooden wall shelf and what is there? Yep, one of the fancy things. Somewhat better than mine! Every single day for 3 days the weather was sunny. Beautiful. And on the last night, Vaalwater showed us the rain. So so beautiful. The farm's people are so friendly and my only complaint is that we didn't have enough time to explore the whole farm. People talk about sunsets, but honestly I have never experienced such picture-perfect moments. So now we have to go back for another visit. Not only to be received so openly and warmly again but to tick off the rest of our 'to do' things. Thank you Marissa, your passion shines through and through on the beautiful, comfortable and well-equipped cottages.

Ek het lanklaas in sulke netjiese plekkies gebly. Ek is mal oor die plekkies.

Ons was die naweek van 9 April 2022 hier en dit was een van die netjieste en mees toegeruste kothuise/lodges waarin ek nog was. Hulle was skoon en netjies en het lekker geruik! Dit het 'n lekker groot gasstort gehad en selfs 'n gaskaggel, lugversorging en 'n vloerstaande waaier in elke kamer. Die yskas het 'n bak komplimentêre plaaseiers, 'n paar melkboksies en 'n lekker bottel wyn gehad (jy betaal nie daarvoor nie, dis gratis). Daar was ook komplimentêre vuurmaakhout onder die kompartement by die kaggel buite. Daar is ook 'n kluis vir jou handwapen!. Jy bring net jou klere, vuurmaakplekke en klere saam. Jy sal 'n wonderlike tyd hê, die eienaar is ook uiters vriendelik en sal enigiets doen om seker te maak jy het 'n heerlike tyd. Ek sal teruggaan en nie twee keer daaroor dink nie. Welgedaan aan Groendraai River Cottages.10/10.

I haven't stayed in such neat places for a long time. I love the little places.

We were here on the weekend of 9 April 2022 and it was one of the neatest and most equipped cottages/lodges I have ever been to. They were clean and tidy and smelled good! It had a nice big gas shower and even a gas fireplace, air conditioning and a floor standing fan in each room. The fridge had a bowl of complimentary farm eggs, a few cartons of milk and a nice bottle of wine (you don't pay for it, it's free). There was also complimentary firewood under the compartment by the fireplace outside. There is also a safe for your handgun!. You only bring your clothes, fire pits and clothing. You will have a great time, the owner is also extremely friendly and will do anything to make sure you have a great time. I will go back and not think twice about it. Well done to Groendraai River Cottages.10/10.

Wonderlik stil en so 'n pragtige plaas, met baie vriendelike gasvrou. Baie smaakvol.

Die kothuise is pragtig uiteengesit met alles wat nodig was, nie 'n enkele iets nodig gehad nie. Alles was in 'n puik toestand, self blinknuwe kombuisware. 'n Heerlike rus en ontspanningsvolle tydjie gehad.

Wonderfully quiet and such a beautiful farm, with a very friendly hostess. Very tasty.

The cottages are beautifully laid out with everything needed, didn't need a single thing. Everything was in great condition, even shiny new kitchenware. Had a wonderful rest and relaxing time.

My stay was just a perfect getaway. I can go back to Groendraai many, many more times!

Marissa was the host from heaven, from the planning of this trip she's been available to go the extra mile and quick to assist without any hassles. What made our stay super special was the attention to details. Marissa decorated the kids room with birthday stuff as I had mentioned a while ago that the trip was to celebrate my son's birthday. She also made sure that kids' board games and activities was available in our cottage. My family was grateful and we had the most amazing 2 nights ever! Groendraai is just the outmost wonderful vacation!

Fantastiese ondervinding.

Die verblyf was fantasties, asook die gasvryheid. Daar is 'n verskeidenheid bordspeletjies en aktiwiteite, in 'n pragtige en rustige omgewing.

Asemrowende rustige wegbreek plekkie.

Dit was ons huweliksherdenking, en die plekkie het omtrent ons wildste drome oortref, alles is so mooi uit gelê, daar was nie 'n tekort aan enige iets op daardie plekkie. Marissa die gasvrou het letterlik aan als gedink om ons verblyf so spesiaal as moontlik te maak. Baie dankie, die plekkie sal ek baie sterk aanbeveel. Die kayaks, die visvang, die rondry op die hele plaas om te verken was verskriklik lekker. Die stoep is so mooi uitgelê om lekker te kan ontspan en ons kon die mooiste sonsondergange ervaar. Prentjie mooi. Baie dankie vir jul gasvryheid Marissa en span. Dit was uit die boeke uit.

Breathtaking peaceful getaway spot.

It was our wedding anniversary, and the place exceeded our wildest dreams, everything was laid out so beautifully, there was no shortage of anything in that place. Marissa the hostess literally thought of everything to make our stay as special as possible. Thank you very much, I would highly recommend the place. The kayaks, the fishing, driving around the whole farm to explore was great fun. The stoep is so beautifully laid out to be able to relax and we were able to experience the most beautiful sunsets. Nice picture. Thank you very much for your hospitality Marissa and team. It was off the books.

Uitstekend, uitstekend, uitstekend!

Jy kry soveel meer as wat mens verwag. Die foto's regverdig nie hoe dit daar lyk. Uit 'n boek, prentjiemooi! Gerieflik ingerig en maak voorsiening vir meer as by jou eie huis. Die ontbytmandjie was beter as 'n 5-ster!

You get so much more than you expect. The pictures don't do justice to how it looks there. Out of a book, picture perfect! Comfortably furnished and provides for more than at your own home. The breakfast basket was better than a 5 star!

Ongelooflike mooi huis!

Ek het lanklaas so netjiese en goed versorgde verblyf gesien. Alles is van die beste en geen kostes is gespaar nie. Dis 'n heerlike kuierhuis met die boma, braai, eettafel en die banke op 'n die lekkerste kuierstoep met die 'n pragtige uitsig. Die kamers en badkamers is mooi en ek wens Marissa kan my huis kom versier. Dit is werklik 'n heerlike ontspan wegbreek en ek wens ons kon langer bly.

Unbelievably beautiful house!

I haven't seen such a neat and well-maintained accommodation in a long time. Everything is of the best and no expense has been spared. It's a lovely holiday home with the boma, braai, dining table and sofas on a nicest patio with a beautiful view. The rooms and bathrooms are beautiful and I wish Marissa could come and decorate my house. It really is a lovely relaxing break and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Pragtige natuur en uitsig.

Ons het baie lekker gebly in ons eenheid. Lekker groot stoep en die boma wat naby die eenheid is. My kinders het lekker gespeel. Die kombuis se pakplek is min, maar baie gerieflik met al die ekstras, die beddens is bietjie te hard.

Beautiful nature and view.

We had a great time staying in our unit. Nice big stoep and the boma which is close to the unit. My children had fun playing. The kitchen's storage space is small, but very comfortable with all the extras, the beds are a bit too hard.

Baie rustig en stylvol.

Die huisie is baie modern, pragtig binne en buite. Baie lekker atmosfeer, die warmbad buite is koning, die rivier is mooi en daar is baie verskillende voëltipes in die omgewing. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Rustige naweek weg van die huis.

Sal enige tyd weer teruggaan na dié rustige plekkie. Als beskikbaar waaraan jy kan dink in hierdie gemaklike plekkie. Huis is lekker warm veral as jy in die winter gaan kuier. Vat stapskoene saam, genoeg plek om te loop. Beurtkrag is nie 'n probleem en ons het nie eers geweet wanneer die krag aan of af was nie.

Quiet weekend away from home.

Will go back to this peaceful place anytime. Everything you can think of is available in this comfortable place. House is nice and warm especially if you visit in winter. Take walking shoes with you, plenty of room to walk. Load power is not an issue and we didn't even know when the power was on or off.
