Quiet, scenic, comfortable.
One feels rested after the visit to MH Guest House. The people are friendly and make you feel like part of the family. It's quiet by the water and they know the area well. We also really enjoyed the walk to the waterfall. They really go out of their way to make the stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible for their guests.

Hospitably received, wonderfully relaxing.
We only spent one night here, yet we were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. We were free to explore the place, and even though some of the bridges over the river were unfortunately damaged, we were still able to take in plenty of the beautiful surroundings. The ablution block is clean and tidy; expect a spider or three, you are in the middle of the woods after all! The N4-Schoemanskloof interchange is very close, so you will hear the hum of traffic all the time. For us it was not an obstacle.

Wonderful, but very dirty.
The location and the farm are absolutely beautiful. The gardens are also well maintained. It's just terribly disappointing that the unit we stayed in was dirty and full of cobwebs. The kitchen was extremely dirty, and the fridge was still full of crumbs and things from previous guests. The kitchen was poorly equipped with very few things, but it is advertised as self catering. The couch in the living room is broken. If the maintenance and cleanliness in the units was as good as the exterior, it would be excellent accommodation. We will not stay there again. Especially in Covid times, one certainly does not feel safe if a place is so dirty. When we brought it to the reception's attention on leaving, the answer was just "oh well". Not an excuse or a surprise at all, so they're probably used to it. It's a shame because the location is amazing!

The beds and bathrooms are in an open-plan set up, no privacy and only 1 window. Toilet and shower on the other flat had water coming up and blocked. The other flat had no bedding. There was no extra blankets for cold nights. The rooms were dusty and very uncomfortable.

Breathtaking scenery. Just what we needed. Ablution block was clean and tidy at all times. Felt safe at all times. We were even provided with enough braai wood. Owners Martin, Annalize and of course Quintin were the kindness of themselves. You definitely have a piece of paradise here. Can't wait to see it in the summer.

It was very peaceful but the bathrooms were inadequate.
The campsites were nicely in the shade along the river. There were no electrical points and no water taps at the campsites. The bathrooms were outdated and there was no sink. Campers must be well-equipped to camp here.

Ons het nie formele kamp/tent staanplekke nie en daar is nie elektriese punte nie, maar, sou iemand belangstel en vra, dan reël ons na die beste wat ons kan, onderworpe aan deelkrag en beskikbaarheid van verlengingskoorde.
Ja, kampeerders {tent / woonwa} moet goed ingerig wees en van egte bos-kamp hou. ☺
Die badkamers se voorkoms van buite is spesiaal "verouderd" om in te pas by die bos-idee.
Hoop dit verduidelik bietjie?
Ons vra om verskoning vir enige misverstand.

Thank you for your very constructive and valid feedback.
The lodge is under new management and the upgrade began a couple of weeks ago - we know you'll see the difference should you visit us again.
With regards location, all our information on travel sites will be updated to include the wildlife noise and the fact that we are situated on the corner of the R539 (Schoemanskloof Road) and the N4. We're looking into ways to mask the road noise heard in 2 of our rooms. Martin's Haven does have other rooms on offer.
Our website will be updated soon. Once we have completed our upgrade, we'll be able to upload current photos.
