Skoon netjies, daar kan jy lekker rus.

Baie lekker huis, met privaat swembad, onderdak braai asook 'n lekker boma. Kamers is ruim met eie badkamers, ons sal definitief weer gaan. 'n Mens kan lekker rus en hoef nie eens iewers heen te ry nie, die diere kom kuier sommer by jou. Dit was vir ons absoluut 'n heerlike rustige naweek van rus.

Clean and tidy, you can rest well there.

Very nice house, with private pool, covered braai and a nice boma. Rooms are spacious with private bathrooms, we will definitely go again. You can have a nice rest and don't even have to drive somewhere, the animals just come to visit you. It was absolutely a lovely peaceful weekend of rest for us.

Goed geleë en lekker kuierareas.

Verblyf was baie lekker, dankie. Heelwat van die ligte het nie gewerk nie. Die swembad is 'n welkome verrassing, maar sou verkies dat hy verhit is. Die buitekamer word geadverteer dat hy 'n stort ook het, maar ons kon geen stort sien nie - dit was ongerieflik. Kan regtig belê om linne en kussings op te gradeer en ekstra yskas te hê, veral dalk by kuierarea. Huis is regtig baie gerieflik vir 'n groot groep mense - net 'n paar dingetjies wat aandag verg. Baie dankie!

Well located and nice visiting areas.

Stay was very nice, thank you. Many of the lights did not work. The pool is a welcome surprise but would prefer it to be heated. The outside room is advertised as having a shower too, but we couldn't see any shower - it was inconvenient. Could really invest in upgrading linens and pillows and having extra fridge, especially maybe at lounge area. House is really very comfortable for a large group of people - just a few things that need attention. Thank you very much!

Wonderlike plek, perfek vir 'n stil wegbreek van stadslewe.

Die eenheid het als wat jy kan benodig, pragtige uitsig op die voer stasie reg by die lapa, en diere loop heel dag verby, van die bokke het selfs uit ons hande kom eet. Die swembad was baie welkom in die warm weer. Kombuis is goed uitgerus met als wat mens kan nodig. Res van die plek is perfek. Lieflik stil in die nag, lanklaas so lekker geslaap. Voorstelle wat die plek net daai bietjie beter kan maak: 2 handdoeke per kamer was bietjie min. Steek miskien die WiFi router weg van gaste af, ek het als probeer daai eerste aand, maar eers die volgende oggend gehoor dis nie bedoel vir gaste nie. Miskien 'n voorstel vir die kamer met die shower wat na buite kyk, sodra die son opkom is dit daglig in die kamer, sou voorstel om miskien 'n blind of iets net op te sit, ek moes die een kombers oor die deur gooi om so bietjie te kan laat slaap. Anders as dit was dit 'n wonderlike plek en ek sal dit regtig aanbeveel vir enigiemand. Ons hoop om binnekort weer vir 'n naweek te kom afskakel van die gejaag van JHB.

Wonderful place, perfect for a quiet break from city life.

The unit has everything you could need, beautiful view of the feed station right by the lapa, and animals walk by all day, some of the goats even came to eat from our hands. The pool was very welcome in the hot weather. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. Rest of the place is perfect. Lovely quiet at night, haven't slept so well in a long time. Suggestions that could make the place just that little bit better: 2 towels per room was a bit low. Maybe put the WiFi router away from guests, I tried that first night, but only heard the next morning that it is not intended for guests. Maybe a suggestion for the room with the shower facing outside, once the sun comes up it's daylight in the room, would suggest maybe putting up a blind or something, I had to throw the one blanket over the door to to be able to sleep a little. Other than that it was a great place and I would really recommend it to anyone. We hope to come again soon for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of JHB.

Teleurstellend tog soveel potensiaal.

Ons moes vir 'n uur en half by die eenheid wag voordat Sondela die sleutels afgelewer het. Dit nadat hulle ons by ontvangs ingelig het dat die sleutel by die eenheid was. Huis was redelik skoon binne maar tuin is verwaarloos met spinnerakke oral. Die eenheid het 'n swembad maar dit word nie skoongemaak of instandgehou nie. Gras onversorgd en staan hoog op party plekke. Skoonmaakdiens het glad nie Saterdag ogedaag nie en geen swartsakke voorsien nie.

Disappointing yet so much potential.

We had to wait at the unit for an hour and a half before Sondela delivered the keys. This after they informed us at reception that the key was with the unit. House was quite clean inside but garden was neglected with cobwebs everywhere. The unit has a pool but it is not cleaned or maintained. Grass unkempt and standing high in some places. Cleaning service didn't show up at all on Saturday and didn't provide any black bags.
