Goeie waarde vir geld, skoon en netjiese verblyf. Beveel dit definitief aan.

Heerlik gebly. Netjiese verblyf en baie vriendelike gasvrou. Alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n paar dae se verblyf is daar. Mooi natuurskoon.

Gerieflike plaashuisie in die mooiste vallei.

Kleinbaas is 'n baie gerieflike plaashuisie met alles wat jy nodig het. Dit was goed vir die siel om op die stoep te braai met al die paddas en naggeluide om ons. Die lekker warm bad na 'n dag se lang reis en kuier voor die gasverwarmer het ons lekker laat ontspan.

Comfortable farmhouse in the most beautiful valley.

Kleinbaas is a very comfortable farmhouse with everything you need. It was good for the soul to have a barbecue on the porch with all the frogs and night sounds around us. The nice hot bath after a day's long journey and hanging out in front of the gas heater let us relax.

Prentjie mooi - met mense en al.

Daar is nie genoeg woorde om hierdie paradys te beskryf nie. Nog minder is daar woorde om die hartlikheid en bystand van die gasvrye personeel te onderstreep. Hierdie stukkie aarde en sy mense is baie spesiaal. Voeg daarby hierdie lieflike huisie uit 'n vergete era, bereikbaar met 'n kronkelpad - soos in 'n sprokie. In kort, ons kom weer.

Nice picture - with people and all.

There are not enough words to describe this paradise. There are even fewer words to underline the warmth and assistance of the hospitable staff. This piece of earth and its people are very special. Add to that this lovely cottage from a forgotten era, accessible by a winding road - like in a fairy tale. In short, we come again.

This is our second stay with Martli. She personally takes care of everything, and it shows. It is quality living, off the beaten track, with full privacy and in a beautiful setting.

Ongelukkig het ons net oorslaapplek vir een nag benodig — sou graag 'n paar dae hier wou deurbring.

Plaashuis soos net 'n plaashuis kan wees. So rustig en in die mooiste omgewing. Hierdie verblyf sal vir jou lekker wees as jy bietjie weg van die beskawing wil kom en nie omgee dat jou motor en skoene gaan vuil raak nie. Daar is regtig geen selfoonsein of WiFi by die huis nie — daar is 'n TV, maar selfs die TV-konneksie het met ons verblyf ook nie gewerk nie! Alles is silwerskoon met sagte en warm beddegoed. Gasverwarmer het die huis lekker warm gehou. Baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige eienaars.

Unfortunately we only needed accommodation for one night - would have loved to spend a few days here.

Farmhouse as only a farmhouse can be. So peaceful and in the most beautiful surroundings. This accommodation will be good for you if you want to get away from civilization and don't mind your car and shoes getting dirty. There is really no cell phone signal or WiFi at the house — there is a TV, but even the TV connection didn't work during our stay either! Everything is spotless with soft and warm bedding. Gas heater kept the house nice and warm. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Doen moeite, dis dit werd.

Waarlik die is 'n plek waar jy kan rus. 'n Plek waar jy nooit die pragtige omgewing in die berge sou beleef, as jy nie hier oornag nie. 'n Oomblik van vroeë tye vasgevang, maar alles wat nodig is vir die gerieflikheid. Hier kon ons saam sterre kyk, op die groot stoep en stories vertel, dan bordspeletjies voor jy die aand afsluit. Mense ontvang jou met vriendelike oop harte, en is baie behulpsaam. Hier is geen selfoon opvangs en die ondervinding is vir seker die grondpad die moeite werd. 'n Ware plek om jouself en mekaar te vind.

Make an effort, it's worth it.

Truly the is a place where you can rest. A place where you would never experience the beautiful surroundings in the mountains, if you did not spend the night here. A moment of early times captured, but all that is necessary for the convenience. Here we could look at the stars together, on the big porch and tell stories, then board games before you end the evening. People receive you with friendly open hearts, and are very helpful. There is no cell phone reception here and the experience is definitely worth the dirt road. A true place to find yourself and each other.

Amazing location, quiet and a great breakaway from the city.

The house has everything you need and is very well equipped. The host spares no effort to make you feel welcome and all the small things, like a complementary supply of braai wood are part of the experience. Highly recommend this venue.

Heerlike, rustige naweek in 'n pragtige omgewing!

Gelukkig het ons met 'n hoë voertuig gery, wat die grondpad, selfs in die reën, gemaklik gemaak het. Wifi is slegs by die eienaar se huis beskikbaar. Die hele area het geen selfoonopvangs nie.

Fortunately, we were driving a tall vehicle, which made the dirt road, even in the rain, comfortable. Wifi is only available at the owner's house. The entire area has no cell phone reception.

Heerlike, rustige verblyf in 'n netjiese, goed toegeruste plaashuis.

Groenfontein is pragtig, netjies en afgeleë. As jy regtig wil wegbreek en net ontspan dan hoef jy nie verder te soek nie. Ons kan regtig oor niks kla nie - net komplimenteer. Vir mense met gewone (lae) stadsmotors - wees gewaarsku, die grondpad kan (waarskynlik sal) 'n uitdaging wees, veral as dit gereën het.

Lovely, peaceful stay in a neat, well-equipped farmhouse.

Groenfontein is beautiful, neat and remote. If you really want to get away and just relax then look no further. We really can't complain about anything - just compliment. For people with regular (low) city cars - be warned, the dirt road can (probably will) be a challenge, especially if it's been raining.

Oom Piet is 'n netjiese plaashuis met 'n asemrowende uitsig oor vallei en aangrensende plase.

Pragtige uitsig oor die vallei en aangrensende plase. 'n Pure plaas-ervaring met bokke en skape in die nabye kraal. Die berge, plase en groen natuur wat die eiendom omring is besonders mooi. Eenvoudig ingerig, netjies met groot vertrekke. Ons het 'n gevoel van pure plaas ervaar met die bokke en skape in die nabye kraal.

Oom Piet is a neat farmhouse with a breathtaking view of the valley and neighboring farms.

Beautiful view of the valley and adjacent farms. A pure farm experience with goats and sheep in the nearby kraal. The mountains, farms and green nature that surround the property are particularly beautiful. Simply furnished, tidy with large rooms. We experienced a feeling of pure farm with the goats and sheep in the nearby corral.

Rustige, netjiese ou huis in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Oupa Piet is 'n rustige ou huis wat heeltemal afgesonder is. Gasvrou is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Huis is goed toegerus met als wat mens nodig het in die mooiste omgewing met die klank van skapies wat in die veld wei.

Stay-over on our way to Gamkaskloof.

Lovely peaceful place. Just stayed one night as a stop-over but there's plenty to do for a longer period. One of the cleanest and best looked-after places we ever visited (and there were a lot!). Martli is a charming and enthusiastic hostess. Excellent place!

Fantastiese plekkie om te ontspan en die natuur te geniet. Dis baie afgeleë en besonders. Netjies en skoon, met meubels wat ou Kaapse bou-styl pas. Baie vriendelike ontvangs.
