Baie lekker gebly. Stort is net nie so lekker nie. Alles anders was baie lekker.

Fantasties!

Baie mooi tuine en mooi verblyf. Ons het baie veilig en tuis gevoel. Het met 2 honde en 2 kinders oorgebly en die eienaar en sy vrou was baie goed vir ons. Lekker plekke om te stap en voel nie vasgevang in jou kamer nie. Sal vir seker weer kom bly.

Fantastic!

Very nice gardens and nice accommodation. We felt very safe and at home. Stayed with 2 dogs and 2 children and the owner and his wife were very good to us. Nice places to walk and not feel trapped in your room. Will stay again for sure.

Nice, quiet and spacious on a small holding.

It was a nice place to relax with the family; they have well-maintained facilities. Just a warning that you will need to travel on about 1 km of gravel road, but it is well maintained. The property and accommodation are big and had enough space for everyone. There are also some friendly dogs on the property.

Lekker, veilige oorslaapplek as jy oppad is.

Hierdie akkommodasie was presies wat ons wou hê: goedgeprysde oorslaapplek en route met veilige binneparkering. Dit was ook baie lekker om 'n warm bed reeds te hê met slapenstyd: hulle het die warm kombers aangesit voor ons aangekom het!

Nice, safe place to sleep if you're on your way.

This accommodation was exactly what we wanted: well-priced overnight accommodation en route with secure indoor parking. It was also very nice to have a warm bed already at bedtime: they put the warm blanket on before we arrived!

Quite a misrepresentation from the photos. The photos were taken a long time ago. The rooms were clean and neat, but the outside did not at all look like what they advertised.

As jy van rustigheid en die natuur hou, is dit die plek vir 'n naweek/oorslaap.

Was aangenaam verras - gerieflik, skoon en netjies met genoegsame geriewe. Die elektriese komberse op die bed was heerlik vir die koue weer! Definitief 'n pluspunt! Kinders kon lekker in die tuin stap en speel, lekker rustig met baie bome.

If you like tranquility and nature, this is the place for a weekend/sleepover.

Was pleasantly surprised - comfortable, clean and tidy with sufficient amenities. The electric blankets on the bed were great for the cold weather! Definitely a plus! Children could walk and play in the garden, nice and quiet with lots of trees.

Goeie waarde, maar lugreëling kort aandag.

Die akkommodasie is goeie waarde vir geld. Net met aankoms gevoel of ons nie verwag was nie. Die buitegeriewe was goed, maar buite was 'n voertuig waar aan gewerk word. Die lugreëling in die slaapkamer was baie lawaaierig en het ons wakker gehou. Was nodig agv die koue om dit aan te sit. Verder gemaklik met 'n baie groot kombuis.

Good value, but air conditioning needs attention.

The accommodation is good value for money. Only on arrival felt like we were not expected. The outside facilities were good, but outside was a vehicle being worked on. The air conditioner in the bedroom was very noisy and kept us awake. Was necessary because of the cold to put it on. Furthermore comfortable with a very large kitchen.

Not welcoming which was not what was needed after a long hot trip in the car.

We phoned the number on the gate when we arrived, no answer, an sms will be sent to notify them of your call. We then phoned the number on the booking sheet, no answer. After waiting some time and repeatedly phoning both numbers we phoned you and the agent managed to contact someone to open the gate. Despite knowing that we were coming up the drive no one greeted us and my husband had to go into the main house to request a key. Then we were told there had been a misunderstanding and we were not able to stay in the unit we had booked. Finally, in the cottage, there was no toilet paper in the bathroom. The shower was in the bath whereas the cottage we had booked had a separate shower. If we had been unable to step in and out of the bath, it would have been a problem. Then the password for the WiFi didn't work, so back to the main house to get that sorted out. Although the cottage we had been given was more spacious, it had a double bed instead of the king-sized bed in the one we had booked. There were a couple of positives: There was an excellent adaptor in the bedroom so we could charge all our devices. There was plentiful hot water. The whole place had the feeling of being uncared for. The garden immediately in front of the house was tidy but the rest of the property had long unmown grass.

Rustige wegbreek uit die dorp uit.

Heerlike akkommodasie vir ons 3 gesinne. Goeie slaapplekgeriewe en kombuis wat toegerus is met die nodige. Het saamgekuier op die verskeie stoepe en selfs op 'n warm dag geswem. Die tuin voor die akkommodasie en die hoofhuis is besonders groen en mooi. Het ook die stappies op die landgoed saam met die honde en kinders geniet.

Peaceful getaway out of town.

Lovely accommodation for our 3 families. Good sleeping facilities and a kitchen that is equipped with the necessary. Hanged out on the various porches and even swam on a hot day. The garden in front of the accommodation and the main house is particularly green and beautiful. Also enjoyed the walks on the estate with the dogs and children.

Lieflike wegbreek van die stad.

As jy van die natuur hou, is dit die plek. 'n Lieflike plek in die natuur waar jy rustig kan stap in die tuin. Daar word nog gebou aan meer huisies, maar dit sal 'n pragtige plek wees wanneer hulle klaar is en al die idees wat hulle wil inbring. Dit is 'n rede waarom ek weer sal terugkom.

If you like nature, this is the place. A lovely place in nature where you can take a leisurely walk in the garden. More cottages are still being built, but it will be a beautiful place when they are finished and all the ideas they want to bring in. This is a reason why I will come back again.

Pragtige omgewing, vriendelike en baie behulpsame gasvrou.

Alhoewel die omgewing my aanvanklik bekommerd gemaak het a.g.v. die baie kleinhoewes, is ek aangenaam verras. Haldon Estate is geleë op 'n lieflike plasie met ryk geskiedenis. Dit is lekker weggesteek van die stad en baie rustig. Doreen was vreeslik vriendelik en het ons vooraf gekontak met aanwysings, ons ontvang en alles mooi gewys. Heerlik gebly, lekker vuur gemaak en gebraai. Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel vir oornagplek.

Beautiful surroundings, friendly and very helpful hostess.

Although the environment initially worried me because the many small holdings, I am pleasantly surprised. Haldon Estate is situated on a lovely place with a rich history. It is nicely hidden from the city and very peaceful. Doreen was extremely friendly and contacted us in advance with directions, received us and showed us everything. Had a great stay, made a nice fire and grilled. Would recommend anytime for an overnight stay.

Oornagverblyf op pad na Noord-Kaap.

Ons het een nag oornag op pad na die Noord-Kaap. Ons is 'n gesin van 5 en het die 5-slaap eenheid bespreek vir die aand. Die eenheid is voldoende gewees vir ons behoeftes en was maklik toeganklik vanaf die N8 waarop ons gereis het. Die elektriese komberse op die beddens was baie gerieflik aangesien die aande maar redelik koud is. Ons verkies meestal 'n eenheid met 2 badkamers en die eenheid het net een gehad (dit was so geadverteer met net een badkamer, ons verkies steeds 2).

Overnight stay on the way to Northern Cape.

We stayed one night on our way to the Northern Cape. We are a family of 5 and have booked the 5 bedroom unit for the evening. The unit was adequate for our needs and was easily accessible from the N8 we were traveling on. The electric blankets on the beds were very convenient as the evenings are quite cold. We usually prefer a unit with 2 bathrooms and the unit only had one (it was advertised as having only one bathroom, we still prefer 2).

Lekker ruim eenheid.

Dit was 'n lekker ruim eenheid met al die nodige geriewe. Hoewel die beddens elektriese komberse op het, was die komberse bo-op die beddens baie dun vir 'n baie koue wintersaand. Ons het nietemin baie lekker gebly.

Goeie dag, baie bly julle het lekker gebly. Ja die koue het vinnig ingekruip. Ons het ons dik duvets, met snoesigge komberse saam met die elektriese komberse by gesit om te verseker dat almal baie lekker warm slaap in hierdie koue tyd. Daar is ook meer as genoeg ekstra komberse beskikbaar op aanvraag. Die lugversorger in hoofslaapkamer help ook darem teen die koue aande. Vriendelike Groete en baie dankie vir u terugvoering. Groete

Baie basies maar skoon.

Die verblyf is baie skoon en netjies. Maar baie basies. As jy soek vir iets luuks is dit nie die plek vir jou nie. Pad na verblyf is 'n kort stuk grondpad wat nie lekker ry nie. Dit lyk meer soos plot as estate en daar is nie perde nie.

Hallo Alecia, baie dankie dat jy die moeite gedoen het om vir ons 'n resensie te skryf. Die foto's op ons webblad wys duidelik wat jy kan verwag indien jy by ons bespreek. Ons eiendom is 15ha groot en die tuine tot teen die kop agter 4 ha. Soos reeds maande terug gesê is, die perde wat voorheen hier was, perde wat gered is en hulle is na 'n beter plek gestuur. Sovêr my kennis strek, adverteer ons nêrens dat ons perde het nie. Nie te min ons respekteer jou opinie en wens jou 'n rustige vakansie verder.

Only good for a sleep and go. I wont be back.

The gardens are just weeds. Old machinery and building rubble lying around. Very sad indeed. I won't be back.

Haldon Estate 's response

We have the most beautiful gardens which are treasured by many who have visited Haldon Estate. We have been doing a lot of maintenance to the Historical House and as an extra we are busy installing hot tubs at the units, which we believe will be a great treasure in the future and appreciated by all our clients. We have also enclosed some units for more privacy and to keep a dog inside the perimeter when needed. No old machinery, but as we are an estate, we do have a truck and trailer, a watering van in case of fires etc. Our machinery is not in the way of any of our clients and are parked at our main house.
Haldon is a truly special place and the majority of our clients are in true appreciation of our History and Gardens.
We apologise should you not have enjoyed your stay with us. We can only assure you that at Haldon we will do our best to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Dit was voldoende vir oorslaap, nie regtig kuier nie.

Die verblyf was gepas vir net 'n oorslaap, maar ek sal dit nie aanbeveel as 'n plek waar 'n mens langer as 2 dae kan ontspan en rus nie. Die omgewing rondom die huisie was ook nie kindervriendelik nie.

It was sufficient for sleeping over, not really visiting.

The accommodation was suitable for just an overnight stay, but I would not recommend it as a place where one can relax and rest for more than 2 days. The environment around the house was not child-friendly either.
