Fantastic no frills getaway! The unit has everything for a self-catering stay.
Nice getaway for a father & sons weekend! No electricity, gas & candles are available, and a nice braai on the stoep - nice and quiet on the farm. 2 ponds are available for bass fishing. Bring carrots for Charlie & Sam, the donkeys! The houses are newly painted.

Hi Pieter. Dankie vir jou resensie! Baie dankie ook vir jou ondersteuning. Ons is bly dat jy jou naweek by Grootnek geniet het met jou seuns. Die bass visvang is altyd lekker en ons donkies, Charlie & Sam, is baie gewild by ons gaste. Ons het al drie die huise nuut geverf, binne en buite. Kom kuier gerus weer. Sien uit daarna om julle weer te ontvang! Alles van die beste. Vriendelike groete, Gawie & Erika.

Accommodation was spacious, but days of gas fridges (which don't get cold at all) and candles are decades gone. Short new mattresses and place mats are not clean.

Cottages are well equipped. The mattresses need replacing, they are a bit hard. The entrance and bath are not elderly friendly. The braai is delicious on the stoep. The fridge is only cold after a day of running. It must be indicated that there is no electricity.

Beste Frikkie, dankie vir jul besoek. Ons is bly dat julle die braai geniet het op die stoep. Die matrasse in die Weskus Cottage is laas jaar vervang. Die yskaste word gereeld gediens en word gou koud, ons vermoed iemand het per ongeluk gedraai aan die verstellings knoppe. Daar word aangedui dat daar gas toestelle is in al ons Cottages en dat daar elektrisiteit naby beskikbaar is. Alles van die beste. Vriendelike groete, Gawie en Erika.

It was very quiet and peaceful with a nice view from our braai area over the valley.
We were spoiled with delicious peaches from the orchards. We hiked the nearby hills and viewed the valley from a height. Just put on long pants, the bushes are very scratchy.

It is without a doubt a place where you can refresh body and soul with the tranquility and natural beauty around you.
Do you really want to rest? Then Grootnek is for you. Sometimes I feel more tired after a hectic holiday than before one. At Grootnek I really felt like I could completely rest and relax and just lose myself in the absolute silence and natural beauty around me. Gerrie the farm caretaker is the pinnacle of hospitality. So full of humor and a real down-to-earth person. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he is full of information about the types of fruit as well as natural water sources, farm ponds and events in the area. He helped with anything ─ from a flashlight to wood and ice. If I could make any negative comments it would be the gas box. The smell of gas in the house was sometimes overwhelming and the freezer compartment was much too small for the meat we took with us for almost 10 days. As an owner, I would also perhaps invest in a new mattress for the bedroom and then perhaps make a plan to keep the water in the swimming pool clean. Other than that, it was really a lovely, peaceful time and we enjoyed it a lot. Thank you very much for your hospitality. We will definitely be back again.

Dankie vir jul ondersteuning. Waardeer dit. Ons is bly dat julle jul vakansie by Grootnek geniet het en dat jul beslis weer terug sal wees. Ons het julle dank aan Gerrie oorgedra vir sy gasvryheid. Ons het al ons gasinstallasies dadelik laat nagaan en alles is reg. Ons glo dat jul die gasstofie se knop nie reg toegemaak het nie. Gaste voor en na julle het geen gasreuk klagtes gehad nie. Ons weet die vriesgedeelte is klein vir 10 dae en dit is waarom ons addisionele vrieskaste het by die hoofhuis en stoor waar ons julle vleis ook gestoor het met n sleutel vir toegang. Die matras is vervang en ons dammetjies se water word skoon gehou. Sien uit daarna om julle weer te ontvang. Mooi bly.

Extremely poor accommodation and do not recommend it at all.
People have to think very carefully and carefully if they want to go to Grootnek - there really is no electricity. The little electricity there is is generated by solar panels and it is not even strong enough to light a single light bulb or recharge your cell phone. I'm sure there are campsites that are better equipped than Grootnek's cottages. The linen is old and battered and not nice at all. The shower's water is either boiling hot one moment and cold the next. Not a nice shower at all. The cottage we stayed in is very small, dark and the windows are placed in such a way that you have no view outside. The fridge is standing on some bricks and is dirty at the back. You have to drink from plastic plates and cups - you feel like a child. We would have stayed six nights but only stayed one night - very poor value for money. The owner also insisted three weeks before our arrival that I had to pay the outstanding balance before I came to the farm - I'm sure he knew if you arrived we'd turn around then and there and he wouldn't get his money not. Grootnek's facilities look great and the cottages open and spacious and very nice on the websites, but the cottages are actually battered, very primitive and not nice at all. The pool photo on the website is not one of the pools connected to the cottages at all. I feel this is false advertising of the place and one is caught with a slack belt. I have stayed in much better places for the same price, which have electricity, nice sea views and clean and tidy linen. Big neck certainly puts the site in a bad light.

We would only recommend Grootnek for a weekend (maximum 3 days).
We had a great time, but the bushveld house does not lend itself at all to a stay of 14 days or longer. We didn't have a fridge that worked and had to put our meat in the farmhouse store's fridge. There is no hanging space for one's clothes at all. Just one chest of drawers with 3 drawers that can't hold 2 people's clothes for 14 days. Curtains are still hanging on wire and do not fit anywhere at all. Bedding can only be improved.

Ideal if you are looking for a place to escape from the city's noise, from sitting on the porch to mountain climbing.
The units are well equipped, self-catering with no electricity and have swimming facilities. It was sufficient for 3 days and the equipment sufficient. Gerrie offered us a wonderful walking route and it is something to remember along with the interaction with farm life. The area has a lot of wonderful experiences and destinations that can be enjoyed without the pressure of tourist buses that you can experience by only going "over the mountain" to Storms River which is 60 minutes away.
