Ontspannend geesvervullend.

Ek het lekker. Almal was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Die plek is 'n moet vir 'n oudhede liefhebber. Suid-Afrikaners moet net nie dink dat hulle op wildsritte sal kan gaan nie. Dit was 'n jammerte.

Relaxing spirit fulfilling.

I have fun Everyone was friendly and very helpful. The place is a must for an antiques lover. South Africans should not think that they will be able to go on game drives. It was a pity.

Very enjoyable. I will definitely book there again.

It was a bit difficult to find initially, as the location pin they sent us did not work. The lady that helped us, however, gave us directions, and once we found it, it was very easy. The place is very close outside Kimberley, but far enough to experience the bush. It is very comfortable, very neat, and it was a real pleasure to stay there. Everything was there.

Uitstekend!

Wat 'n ongelooflike plek om te kom ontspan, veld, ongelooflike mooi sonsondergange met sterre wat die diepte ingaan. Die eienaars en personeel, almal was uitmuntend en het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons te laat welkom voel. Selfs vir my verloofde laat spesiaal voel met sy 40ste verjaarsdag road trip. Ons kom maak vir seker weer 'n draai.

Kuier was lekker. Alles was egter bietjie "oud".

Was die eerste week in Januarie. Die aircon se remote het nie gewerk nie. Braaiput was vol as. Die ys en vrieskas was af toe ons arriveer. Plaaswerf maak onnetjies. Op positiewe noot - goeie waarde vir geld. Huisie volledig toegerus en vriendelik ontvang.

Visit was nice. However, everything was a bit "old".

Was the first week in January. The aircon's remote did not work. Braai pit was full of ashes. The ice and freezer were off when we arrived. Farm yard makes mischief. On a positive note - good value for money. Cottage fully equipped and kindly received.

Rustige atmosfeer, vriendelike ontvangs. Het ons verblyf geniet.

'n En-suite badkamer sal 'n aanbeveling wees, in sekere areas. Nie gemaklik om sodanige geriewe te deel veral as dit nie jou huisgesin is nie. Andersins was dit 'n aagename verblyf. Vriendelike ontvangs.

Quiet atmosphere, friendly reception. Enjoyed our stay.

An en-suite bathroom would be a recommendation, in certain areas. Not comfortable sharing such facilities especially if it is not your household. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay. Friendly reception.

Indien jul weer van ons akkommodasie wil gebruik maak vrae asseblief vir 'n cottage waar jul meer privaat kan wees en ook 'n eie badkamer gerief sal hê. Ons sal met graagte help, waar ons kan.

Regte boservaring.

Was 'n genotvolle kuier. Enigste negatiewe is dat die jagseisoen die beweging in die bos beperk.

Was an enjoyable visit. Only negative is that the hunting season limits the movement in the forest.

Die huis is baie netjies, mense vriendelik.

Maar die braai-area is baie swak. Die sink dak is geroes en vol gate, dit was onder water met die reën ons kon nie daar gebraai het nie, dak moet eers herstel voor mense weer hier bly. Dit was regtig 'n gemors.

The house is very neat, people are friendly.

But the braai area is very poor. The zinc roof is rusted and full of holes, it was under water with the rain we couldn't have barbecue there, roof must be repaired before people can live here again. It was really a mess.

Gerieflik en skoon, maar kort aandag.

Die lugversorger in die kombuis het nie gewerk nie. Die lugversorger in kamer 3 het erg gelek. Twee van die bedlampies in kamer 1 het nie gewerk nie. Ons was geskuif na 'n ander eenheid omdat ons honde gehad het, alhoewel die webwerf duidelik gesê het troedeldiere is welkom en ons het dit vooraf so gereël.

Comfortable and clean, but lacking attention.

The air conditioner in the kitchen did not work. The air conditioner in room 3 was leaking badly. Two of the bedside lamps in room 1 did not work. We were moved to another unit because we had dogs, even though the website clearly said pets were welcome and we had pre-arranged it that way.

Rustic game farm stay.

We stayed in the Hunter's cottage which lived up to the expectation of a basic yet well appointed old farmstead cottage in the bush. A big bag of wood was most welcomed for braaing purposes. Just had difficulty contacting the office / reception when arriving at gate. Tried all five numbers displayed at least 3 times each before finally being answered and allowed access.

Dis op ’n wildsplaas, maar die verblyf is in ’n ou gebou reg langs die plaashuis op die werf. Nie in die wildskamp nie.

Uitstekene verblyf in die Jagtershuisie. Stil, skoon, goed toegerus en besonder ruim.

Ideale plek om te oornag naby Kimberley. Die wild op die plaas is 'n bonus om te sien. Die Jagtershuisie is besonder ruim met die grootste badkamers wat ek in 'n lang tyd gesien het. Winchester kamer het 'n dubbelbed en groot en suite-badkamer en die Holland Holland kamer het 'n dubbelbed en 2 enkelbeddens met ’n en suite-badkamer. Elke badkamer het 'n stort, wasbak en toilet. Koop 'n groot sak hout vir R60 maar onthou asb. vuurhoutjies as jy nie rook nie Baie yskasgeriewe. Sal beslis weer hier in dieselfde huis oornag.

Excellent stay in the Jagtershuisie. Quiet, clean, well equipped and exceptionally spacious.

Ideal place to spend the night near Kimberley. The wildlife on the farm is a bonus to see. The Jagtershuisie is exceptionally spacious with the largest bathrooms I have seen in a long time. Winchester room has a double bed and large en-suite bathroom and the Holland Holland room has a double bed and 2 single beds with an en-suite bathroom. Each bathroom has a shower, sink and toilet. Buy a large bag of wood for R60 but please remember. matches if you don't smoke Lots of fridge facilities. Will definitely stay here again in the same house.

Ons het net een nag geslaap in 'n ruim ou plaashuis; dit was netjies skoon en goed toegerus!

Ons het 'n hele plaashuis vir twee van ons gehad. Alhoewel dit 'n ou gebou was het alles gewerk. Daar was warm water vir stort en die kombuis het alles gehad wat nodig was. Selfs vuurmaak hout was verskaf.

Fotos of webtuiste is misleidend.

Ons het in die Impala Cottage/Huis tuisgegaan. Dit het voorgekom of die eenheid baie lanklaas skoongemaak was en dat daar ook geen instandhouding gedoen word nie. Geen elektrisiteit vir die tyd wat ons daar tuisgegaan het nie. Die foto's op die webtuiste is baie misleidend omdat dit glad nie lyk soos voorgestel is nie. Dit was ook 'n probleem om by die hek uit te gaan, die kontaknommer op die hek was nie beskikbaar nie.

Photos or website are misleading.

We stayed in the Impala Cottage/House. It appeared as if the unit had not been cleaned for a very long time and that no maintenance was being done either. No electricity for the time we went home there. The photos on the website are very misleading as they do not look at all as presented. Exiting the gate was also a problem, the contact number on the gate was not available.
