Spectacular.

Breathtaking Karoo mountain scenery. Absolutely clean, well-equipped cottage, even with a bocce court. Great walking and cycling region with a picnic site on the river. Perfect sunflower views in the valley. Excellent braai facilities inside and outside. Will return.

Pragtige omgewing en jy voel klein in hierdie natuur.

Heerlik gerus en area verken. So mooi langs die Komga rivier. Die lugverkoeler was 'n wenner toe die temperatuur so aan 40 grade was. Die inligting oor die geskiedenis van die plaas en foto's was insiggewend.

Blissful tranquility.

After the noise of the city, his place was so quiet and peaceful my ears were ringing. Old fashioned charm, quirky decorations. Clean and comfortable. I enjoyed some milky way photography in the absolute darkness. Unfortunately our stay was just an overnight, otherwise we would have visited the picnic spot and done a few walks. We will be back.

We enjoyed our stay and it was something different.

As a family with small kids, the place has limited options. It is a working farm so during the day there is a lot of activity and a lot of vehicles on the road next to the house. The picnic site is nice and there are some great hikes very close by. The cottage could benefit greatly by getting an outside braai as the firepit is not great to braai in. A plunge pool would be especially great for families. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, but there was not much that wowed us about the venue.

Matjiesvlei Cottages 's response

We are glad that you have enjoyed your stay.
The idea behind the circular pit braai is that guests can sit around the fire at night, watching the stars until their coals are ready to braai. Our guests can swim in the river at the picnic site, where there are 2 braai facilities. Middelplaas cottage has a fireplace in the lounge which can be used to braai.
Activities in the valley are hiking, either on the footpaths in the veld or on the gravel road, cycling, fishing, swimming and if you have a canoe you can use that on the river.

Ons het 'n stalletjie by die Calitzdorp vetplantfees gehad, en besluit om eerder die stilte van die plaas op te soek in die aande, en dit was voorwaar ongelooflik rustig. 'n Heerlike paar aande, net jammer ons kon nie die hele dag deurbring nie.

Matjiesvlei is 'n juweel!

Die stalle was baie goed ingerig. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het om die verblyf baie spesiaal en uiters gerieflik te maak. Die omgewing is pragtig en die hele ervaring het ons batterye goed herlaai. Ons sal volgende keer ekstra betaal, vir 'n paar sakke hout. Dankie!

Lugversorging het nie gewerk nie. Skoorsteen vis uil en rook het ons oorrompel. Die huis was soos 'n yskas. Die omgewing was pragtig en betowerend maar kon nie opmaak vir die blyplek nie.

Ons is jammer dat u nie u tyd by ons geniet het nie. Ons probeer om die omgewing en die huis so ver moontlik vir ons gaste aangenaam en gerieflik te hou. Die Klein-Karoo is 'n area waar dit sommige tye koud is. Ons het voor u verblyf nog geen probleme met die lugversorger ervaar nie. Die ou braai-kaggel van die huis word dikwels deur gaste gebruik. Ons neem egter kennis van u klagtes en skenk aandag aan die kwessies deur u geopper.

Fantastiese verblyf, uitstekende diens, waarde vir geld.

Ons het 2 nagte in die Bokwagters huis gebly. Ons het uitstekende diens van die eienaar gehad, ons het per epos vooraf alle aanwysings ontvang, asook die kode waarin die sleutel gebêre word vir die huis. Jy het jouself ingeboek, die huis was pragtig skoon en uitstekend gemeubileer met alles waaraan jy kan dink om jou verblyf gerieflik te maak. Die huis het bestaan uit 3 slaapkamers, 2 badkamers, groot ruim sit /eetkamer en kombuis. Die huis was baie gerieflik met 'n groot binnebraai, waar jy lekker kon braai en vuur maak teen die koue. Daar was 2 groot yskaste, mikrogolfoond, wasmasjien, skottelgoedwasser en alle toebehore om 'n baie gerieflike verblyf te hê. Daar was ook 'n houtstofie vir verdere hitte. Die hoofslaapkamer het 'n buitedeur gehad wat op 'n stoep uitloop met pragtige wit kwaliteit linne op die bed. Die stort was groot en die water was gou lekker warm. Die tuin was goed versorg met 'n groot, groen grasperk vir die hondjies om rond te hardloop. Daar was ook 'n fire put as jy sou wou buite braai. Onthou om jou hout saam te neem. Daar was Wi-Fi en ons kon kontak hou met ons mense deur WhatsApp. Die natuurskoon was pragtig met die berge en die boord-olywe voor jou huis. Die stilte was baie rustig, en die sterre in die aand was pragtig. Dit was ongelooflik mooi, die hele hemelruim was verlig met sterre sover jy kon kyk, 2 dae is te kort 'n mens moet langer bly. Daar was 'n sleutel en aanwysings om na die poskantoor-museum te gaan. Dit was 'n vreeslike lekker ondervinding om al die "ou goedjies" in bewaring te sien. Wat 'n voorreg was dit, dat die eienaar 'n mens vertrou met sy skatte. Dit was ook baie lekker om die boeke te lees oor die geskiedenis van die plaas en deur Jan Braai se kookboeke te blaai. Ons kan Matjiesvlei Cottages sterk aanbeveel vir 'n baie aangename verblyf wat lank by jou sal bly. Die grondpad-bergpas vir 7 km wat jou neem na die vallei tussen die Swartberge, is pragtig en die pad is veilig vir 'n SUV waarmee ons gery het. Baie dankie aan die gasheer vir jou pragtige plek wat jy met ons gedeel het, ons sal definitief weer kom en dan langer bly as 2 dae.

Fantastic accommodation, excellent service, value for money.

We stayed 2 nights in the Bokwagters house. We had excellent service from the owner, we received all directions by email in advance, as well as the code in which the key is stored for the house. You checked yourself in, the house was beautifully clean and excellently furnished with everything you can think of to make your stay comfortable. The house consisted of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large spacious living/dining room and kitchen. The house was very comfortable with a large indoor braai, where you could enjoy braai and make a fire against the cold. There were 2 large fridges, microwave oven, washing machine, dishwasher and all appliances to have a very comfortable stay. There was also a wood stove for further heat. The master bedroom had an outside door opening onto a veranda with beautiful white quality linen on the bed. The shower was large and the water was soon nice and warm. The garden was well maintained with a large, green lawn for the dogs to run around. There was also a fire pit if you wanted to barbecue outside. Remember to take your wood with you. There was Wi-Fi and we could keep in touch with our folks through WhatsApp. The scenery was beautiful with the mountains and the orchard olives in front of your house. The silence was very peaceful, and the stars in the evening were beautiful. It was incredibly beautiful, the whole sky was lit up with stars as far as you could see, 2 days is too short one should stay longer. There was a key and directions to the post office museum. It was a very nice experience to see all the "old things" in preservation. What a privilege it was, that the owner trusts one with his treasures. It was also very nice to read the books about the history of the farm and browse through Jan Braai's cookbooks. We can highly recommend Matjiesvlei Cottages for a very pleasant stay that will stay with you for a long time. The dirt road mountain pass for 7 km that takes you to the valley between the Black Mountains is beautiful and the road is safe for an SUV we drove. Many thanks to the host for your beautiful place that you shared with us, we will definitely come again and then stay longer than 2 days.

Ons verblyf was heerlik ontspannend.

Die fasilitieite is perfek 'rustic' vir 'n wegbreek. Daar is geen selfoonsein nie, maar die verniet WiFi is genoeg indien iemand jou dringend in die hande moet kry. Pragtige huis in 'n pragtige omgewing. Die Middelplaas Huis waar ons gebly het, is ook ver van ander huisies, so dit is doodstil. Ons gaan beslis weer.

Gemaklike plaaskuier

Die plaashuisie is so lekker gesellig, ons het die hele naweek of buite op die stoep of binne voor die heerlike kaggel gekuier! Dit is die ideale huis vir 'n groep mense, met drie kamers en twee badkamers. Die kombuis is ook lekker groot. Die natuurskoon in Matjiesvlei is ook pragtig, daar is staproetes en die mooie Gamkarivier naby aan die huis.

The farmhouse is so cosy, we spent the whole weekend hanging out either outside on the porch or inside in front of the lovely fireplace! It is the ideal house for a group of people, with three rooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen is also nice and big. The scenery in Matjiesvlei is also beautiful, there are hiking trails and the beautiful Gamka River close to the house.

Maar die rustigheid en natuurskoon is wat jou by bly van waar jy op die lekker stoep sit en kuier. Ons het ons nuwe plastiekwynglase daar vergeet maar sal dit kom haal as ons weer kom kuier.

A comfortable off-the grid experience

My partner and I stayed in the 'Die Stalle' house during our stay. It had everything we needed for a comfortable long weekend. The cottages are tucked away in a beautiful spot with rolling mountains and hills which allows you to feel like you are hours away from the nearest town - even though Calitzdorp is only a few minutes away. Although we didn't leave the premises very much other than to drive down to the picnic area and dam with our two dogs (and the old Jack Russell who we assume lives nearby and joined our pack for the weekend). We only booked for four days but were very tempted to extend and would definitely go back.

Heerlik ontspan en gestap.

Ons het twee nagte op Middelplaas oorgebly. Die aanwysings was goed, alles gevind wat mens nodig het vir 'n wegbreeknaweek, netjies en skoon, waardeer 'insect screens' op alle vensters en deure. Meeste tyd buite spandeer, op gras/stoep, gestap (staproetes op plaas), voëltjies gekyk. Middelplaas is 'n werkende plaas.

Juweel aan die voet majestueuse berge.

Unieke ervaring – ons het in Middelplaas Kothuis gebly. Tussen die magdom klip en rots was dit ’n stukkie groen grasperk en met verblyf wat gerieflik en gemaklik is. Die huisie is klein maar pas ’n gesin of vier mense maklik in. Die huisie is ook naby aan die rivierbraaiplek en lok die omgewing ’n bykans aanhoudende bergfiets / stapaktiwiteit uit. Ons beplan om weer daar ’n draai te maak. As jy regtig eenkant net rustig wil wees is hierdie ’n baie goeie keuse. Pasop maar met voertuie by die parkering by die huisie – daar is groot klippe gepak wat ook jou voertuig se deure kan beskadig as jy te naby daaraan dit sou oopmaak. Bring ook ’n sponsie vir die skottelgoed saam, slegs een lappie en een vadoek word voorsien en wat sukkel met die skottelgoed.

Jewel at the foot of majestic mountains.

Unique experience - we stayed in Middelplaas Kothuis. Between the multitude of stone and rock, it was a piece of green lawn and with accommodation that is convenient and comfortable. The house is small but fits a family or four people easily. The cottage is also close to the river barbeque and the area invites an almost continuous mountain bike / hiking activity. We plan to visit there again. If you really just want to be somewhere quiet, this is a very good choice. Be careful with vehicles in the parking lot at the cottage - there are large stones packed that can also damage your vehicle's doors if you open them too close to them. Also bring a sponge for the dishes, only one cloth and one dish towel are provided and who struggles with the dishes.

Baie baie lekke plek, rustigheid op sy beste, vrede en rus.

Dit is 'n baie lekke plekkie, die ligging is fantasties, die uitsig asemrowend, die rustigheid prysloos. Miskien bietjie duur vir net twee mense, maar as meer as een gesin gaan dan sal dit nie die begroting nie so rek nie, maar weereens ons het baie lekke gebly, terdee geniet, alles wat jy nodig het en meer is daar, selfs 'n driepootpot.

Very very nice place, tranquility at its best, peace and rest.

It is a very nice place, the location is fantastic, the view breathtaking, the tranquility priceless. Maybe a bit expensive for just two people, but if more than one family goes then it won't stretch the budget so much, but again we had a great stay, thoroughly enjoyed it, everything you need and more is there, even a tripod pot

Aan die voete van die Swartberge.

Die plaas is naby aan Calitzdorp, maar tog afgesonder met wonderlike geskiedenis en selfs ’n plaasmuseum! Lekker binnebraai vir koue aande en ’n skoon swembad-dam om in te baljaar. Die honde was ekstaties.

Kinderparadys.

Ons hou van ons vakansies totaal en al privaat en sonder tegnologie. Ons het 'n 2 en 'n 4 jarige wat tot donker toe in die tuin gespeel het, goggas gevang het en vuil in die bed geklim het (na hulle gebad het). Calitzdorp is lieflik. Daar is 'n trekker wat ons heel dag rondgetrek het van een wynplaas na die volgende, oulike winkeltjies en lekker koffie by die Bakhuis. Die huis het als wat ons benodig het. Onthou om sout saam te vat. Dit was 35 grade een van die dae, maar kon die lugverkoeling aansit toe ons tuis is. Ons sal vir seker weer gaan.

Children's paradise.

We like our vacations to be completely private and without technology. We have a 2 and a 4 year old who played in the garden until dark, catching bugs and getting into bed dirty (after bathing them). Calitzdorp is lovely. There is a tractor that pulled us around all day from one wine farm to the next, cute little shops and good coffee at the Bakhuis. The house has everything we needed. Remember to take salt with you. It was 35 degrees one of the days, but was able to turn on the air conditioning when we got home. We will go again for sure.

Netjiese plaashuisie - lekker stilte en rus.

Dit is nogal 'n lekker grondpad se ry om by die huis uit te kom, baie mooi uitsig. Ons het gebly in die Middelplaas-huisie. Dit was lekker rustig en naby die rivier. Die huisie is baie netjies en daar is 'n baie lekker braaiplekkie buite met 'n baie mooi uitsig. Ons weer was bietjie sleg die laaste aand, maar ons kon ten minste nog binne braai. Sal weer teruggaan.

It's quite a nice dirt road drive to get to the house, very nice view. We stayed in the Middelplaas cottage. It was nice and quiet and close to the river. The house is very neat and there is a very nice braai place outside with a very nice view. Our weather was a bit bad the last night, but at least we could still barbecue inside. Will go back again.

Lekker uitrus op 'n baie stil en veilige plaas.

Hierdie weggesteekte vallei met die mooiste uitsigte en water is 'n lushof vir uitrus in die Klein-Karoo. Tog 12 km van 'n pragtige dorp. Ons sal vir seker weer gaan kuier, wil net volgende keer langer bly. Heerlik fietsgery, sterregekyk, natuurlik gebraai, en gerus. Die huis is basies, en alles wat 'n mens nodig is daar. Dankie.

Een van ons heel lekkerste wegbreke ooit. Pragtige blyplek van topgehalte, met grootste respek en liefde gerestoureer en 'n duidelike deernis en erkenning vir die herkoms en geskiedenis van hierdie besonderse vallei. Die stilte. Die sterre snags. Swem in die dam. Die verskeidenheid voëls. Die kloof se kleure op verskillende tye van die dag. Die luggie deur die olyfboord. Ons kom beslis weer en weer.

Very comfortable and breath-teaking surroundings

The cottage was well equipped, had everything we needed. We were comfortable, everything was clean, although the shower is a bit of a 'dark hole', which put my husband off showering. The river and the mountains make a lovely backdrop, the footpaths are very inviting. We realize it is a working farm, lucerne, olives, but found the continuous hum of - we presume - water pumps at night somewhat irritating and disturbing.

Great location, very tranquil. Would like to have had the owners greet us and interact a little.

Accommodation reasonably comfortable. Owners/managers did not go out of their way to either greet us on arrival or see us off on departure - disappointing, not even a welcoming note. House was not very welcoming on arrival - veranda dirty and outside furniture not set out to welcome new guests (but house clean). Generally comfortable with most accessories that one needs. Value for money is good, but no nice touches to make it more personal and engaging.

Verskriklike lekker kuierhuis (Stalle) met fantastiese ligging - skakel af en raak rustig. Die buitestort is ‘n moet!

Ons het verskriklik lekker gebly in Die Stalle en was die perfekte pit-stop op pad teen die kus op. Die huis is geleë in ‘n pragtige vallei wat jou op die mooiste grondpad neem om daar uit te kom. Spekbome waar jy kyk! Die plek was magic en sal aanbeveel dat mens eerder vir ‘n langnaweek gaan afpak om heeltomal te ontspan. Die buitestort was die kersie op die koek, vroeg in die warm oggendson.

Terribly nice guest house (Stalle) with fantastic location - switch off and relax. The outdoor shower is a must!

We had a great stay in Die Stalle and were the perfect pit-stop on our way up the coast. The house is located in a beautiful valley that takes you on the most beautiful dirt road to get there. Bacon trees everywhere you look! The place was magical and would recommend that you pack away for a long weekend instead to completely relax. The outdoor shower was the icing on the cake, early in the warm morning sun.

Rustige omgewing en onverbeterlike uitsig!

Ons het heerlik gekuier voor die oop skuifdeur met die pragtige uitsig. Kaggel is 'n wenner! Ons sal weer daar kuier. Ons het ons hout vergeet, maar kon gelukkig 'n reusesak koop so 3 km voor die afdraai by die vorige plaas.

We had a wonderful time in front of the open sliding door with the beautiful view. Fireplace is a winner! We will visit there again. We forgot our wood, but fortunately were able to buy a giant bag about 3 km before the turn off at the previous farm.

Aangename paar dae se weg wees van stadsdruk, oorbevolking en geraas

Baie warm in die somer, maar ek weet daar kan lekker kaggelvuurwinters geniet word. Stap in die vallei en die ouwêreldse Klein Karoo is lekker.

Beautiful views from the living/outdoor spaces.

We really enjoyed our stay at Matjiesvlei Cottages. The house is good value for money. We loved that there was air con because we had a really hot few days. The river and dam also offered a place for us to cool down during the day. The cottage is more of a chill/relaxation away spot as it is quite far from a shop and other places.

Thank you for enjoying your stay in Matjiesvlei Cottages. The air-conditioning and farm dam really are a help on the very hot days, as well as the Trelidor clear guard security screens in front of all doors and windows, that we and our guests can sleep with doors and windows open, to let through the cool breeze at night. We hope to see you again!

Goed toegerus, net dam was vol slik en onaangenaam om in te swem.

Die museum was baie insiggewend en vertel baie van die geskiedenis. Dit was lekker om by braaivuur te sit en die sterre dop te hou. Die natuurskoon onbeskryflik en die stilte gee 'n mens geleentheid om jouself te vind. Sal weer wil besoek.

Beste Jan,

Ons is bly dat julle Matjiesvlei en die omgewing geniet het. Wat die dam aanbetref, kan ons ongelukkig nie chloor byvoeg om die groei van alge te verhoed nie, aangesien die water primêr gebruik word vir die besproeing van die olyfbome en die tuin.

Ons gaste is welkom om soos ons in die dam te swem, maar moet aanvaar dat dit nie 'n swembad is nie, maar n plaasdam. Die ander swemopsie is om in die rivier te gaan swem. Met die huidige droogte, is die water daar ongelukkig ook minder as gewoonlik.

Met die droogte is daar min water in die rivier, dus is ons private swemplek by die rivier, stapafstand vanaf Middelplaas, nie nou so mooi soos gewoonlik nie. Ons almal wag vir die reën.

Interessant.

Was baie mal oor die Museum. Die pad na die verblyf was elke dag so asemrowend mooi. Die huisies is baie oulik. Ons het lekker gekuier in die aande. Was net bietjie teleurgesteld oor die swemgeriewe, want op webtuiste staan een van die aktiwiteite op die perseel is swem en mamma maak toe die fout om vir ons 5 jarige te sê sy gaan kan swem by die volgende plek. Dam was vol slyk en ons kon glad nie swem nie.

Interesting.

Really loved the Museum. The road to the accommodation was so breathtakingly beautiful every day. The houses are very cute. We had a good time in the evenings. Was just a little disappointed about the swimming facilities, because on the website it says one of the activities on the premises is swimming and mum then made the mistake of telling our 5 year old she was going to be able to swim at the next place. Dam was full of mud and we couldn't swim at all.

Dag Adel,
Ek is bly die omgewing en vallei is vir julle so mooi gewees en dat julle dit geniet het. Die dam se primêre doel is om water te gee vir die lande en daar kan dus ongelukkig nie kloor of sout in die dam gegooi word nie.

Heerlike eenvoud ruskans.

Ons het ons verblyf ongelooflik baie geniet. Die eenvoud was amazing, tog het ons alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het. Kleilat gooi by die rivier, marshmallow braai by kaggel, en net samesyn met gesin is 'n paar hoogtepunte. Winter kuier was baie lekker, maar dink lente of somer piekniek en swem by rivier kan nog lekkerder wees. Sal definitief weer gaan. Baie dankie vir als, Marietjie.

Serene and peaceful.

We all loved the quiet and peaceful setting; the opportunity to walk and hike; the opportunity to watch birds and small wildlife; to sit around the braai and see the full moon (and partial eclipse!) and dazzling stars; and the comfort of being warm and snug and safe at night. The whole 6 days being at Die Stalle and Bokwagtershuis was so restorative for one's being - we really felt enriched by being in this beautiful, sensitively restored place. The booklets on the history of the area, the veld and animals and other information, was fascinating and welcome. We all loved the way the cottages had been furnished with a mix of the old and authentic, and with the comforts of the modern too. We shall definitely love to return to Matjiesvlei Cottages again!

As ek al ooit gedroom het dat ek 'n plaas in Klein Karoo wou hê, sal Die Stalle my droom verwesenlik. Dit is alles en nog méér as wat ek gedink het dit sou wees.

Ons verblyf by Die Stalle was onverbeterlik! Ons kan nie uitgepraat raak oor die wonderlike ligging van die huis, die warm atmosfeer en die gerieflikheid van alles wat 'n mens denkbaar sou wou hê vir 'n stil, rustige plaasvakansie. Ons is net baie spyt dat ons nie veel langer daar kon kuier nie, maar ons sal vir seker weer en weer wil teruggaan daarheen.

Dit was 'n salige rustigheid met die natuurskoon rondom jou.

'n Mens voel sommer jy het tuisgekom wanneer jy arriveer. Jy kry sommer so 'n warm verwelkoming van die huis wanneer jy instap, so asof elke item in die huis spesiaal uitgesoek is. Daar is alles wat 'n mens in jou elke dag lewe nodig het. Dit het my ook opgeval hoe super skoon die huis was. Dit was so lekker gewees. Ons kan beslis mense aanbeveel om soontoe te gaan. Die rustigheid en die heerlike stoep om op te sit in die oggend sonnetjie en die voeltjies wat fluit.

Hemel op aaarde, would be a good start, we feel like we have had rest and therapy for more than the 3 days of our stay, thank you.

This is no dump in the sticks. The cottage is very well equipped in a lovely 'old fashioned way'. The nights are pitch black dark and quiet so we slept very well. We were comfortable and enjoyed the walks into the kloof and the spot on the river is super. We had good weather and then some cloud and rain, the only thing we missed were the stars at night. We found the silence most appealing and definitely of benefit to the health. We recommend your cottage and the farm to our friends and family and will try to be there again, soon!

Baie netjiese verblyf in 'n perfekte Klein Karoo vallei.

'n Klein karaktervolle woonhuisie wat deel was van 'n klein nedersetting uit die diep verlede. Smaakvol gerestoureer met al die geriewe wat mens sou nodig kry, sonder om afbreuk te doen aan die eenvoud van die leefwyse, stilte van die aande en die geraas van die Karoo-natuur. Die WiFi werk en is strate beter as die televisie wat nie daar is nie. Die diens en behulpsaamheid van die eienaar en bestuur is baie waardeer. Die uitsigte en skoonheid van die omgewing, veral op pad soontoe na die afdraai, sal lank onthou word. Regtig die moeite werd en sien uit om weer daar te kuier.

Very neat accommodation in a perfect Klein Karoo valley.

A small home that were a part of a small settlement back in the day. Tastefully renovated with all the necessary facilities without breaking down the simplicity of that lifestyle, the tranquillity in the evenings and the noise of the Karoo. The WiFi works. The service and hospitality of the owner and manager are much appreciated. The views and beauty of the environment, especially on the way there, will linger. Worth it and we look forward to visit again.

Een schitterend verblijf met aandacht voor authenticiteit

We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad in die stalle. Erg rustig gelegen met een schitterend uitzicht. Mogelijkheden om te wandelen maar ook om heerlijk te luieren. Jammer dat het tweepersoonsbed, dat er schitterend uitzag, niet goed ligt en erg kraakt. Maar voor de rest alle lof.

A wonderful stay with attention to authenticity

We had a wonderful time in the stables. Very quiet location with a wonderful view. Possibilities for walking but also for relaxing. It's a shame that the double bed, which looked great, doesn't light well and cracks badly. But for the rest all praise.

Lekker rustige atmosfeer en mooi netjies en alles wat jy nodig het is daar.

Dit was heerlik om daar te kon bly, ons het die stilte baie geniet en dis ver van alles en weg van die hoofpad is ook baie rustig. Dit is ook baie mooi en netjies uiteengesit.

Matjiesvlei is 'n vallei noord van die R62, naby die Swartberge.
Dit is 'n 7km grondpad in tot waar die pad vurk.
Die Stalle en die Bokwagtershuis is so 300 m verder, Middelplaas is links, 3 km vanaf die vurk.
Voor alle deure en vensters is daar Trelidor se clear guard sekuriteitsskerms, met die ekstra voordeel dat dit die goggas buitehou.

Knus plekkie, baie rustig.

Ons was daar vir 10 nagte en het in Bokwagtershuis gebly. Goeie punte: Die natuurskoon is asemrowend. As jy wil wegkom van als en almal is dit definitief die plek. Minder goeie punte: Effe duur vir wat jy kry. Daar is baie toebehore maar geen pakplek vir kos nie. En aangesien jy 'n hele paar kilo's ver is van die dorp was dit nodig om redelik vooruit te beplan. Die "bure" was baie ongeskik. Die dreine het verstop geraak wat ons self moes uitsorteer aangesien die opsigters nie beskikbaar was nie. Ons was ook vir 'n dag of wat sonder water.

Cosy place and very peaceful.

We stayed in Bokwagtershuis for 10 nights. Good remarks: The natural scenery is breathtaking. If you want to get away form everything and everyone then this is the place. Less pleasant remarks: Quite expensive for what you get. There is so much gadgets and nowhere to store food. And since you're quite a few kilometers from the town, you need to plan ahead. The "neighbours" were very rude. The drains were blocked and we had to sort it out ourselves since the caretakers weren't available. We also went without water for a day.

Hallo Irma
Matjiesvlei is 'n baie besonderse vallei, ons is bly jul het dit so ervaar.

Die spasie in die kombuis is beperk, aangesien ons graag die ou wêreldse atmosfeer van die huise wou behou. Ons het die huise toegerus met heelwat meer as die gebruiklike minimum eetgerei, sodat ons gaste genoeg borde, bakke, glase, bekers en ander kombuistoebehore het. Die kombuisitems sal ons anders rangskik om sodoende 2 rakke leeg te maak vir gaste se kruideniersware, dankie vir die raad.

Dis jammer dat jul die gaste in die ander gastehuis as ongeskik evaar het, ons het altyd vertrou dat almal so sal optree dat niemand mekaar sal hinder om in stilte en rustigheid Matjiesvlei te geniet nie.

By gebrek aan selfoon kommunikasie in die vallei, het ons die huise toegerus met gratis epos, Whattsapp en internet telefoon kommunikasie, sodat ons of ons bestuurder gekontak kan word indien daar iets verkeerd is. Daarom is ons en die bestuurder se nommers by die telefoon. Ons het geen kennis gekry van die drein wat verstop was nie. Ons het eers daarvan te hore gekom toe ons jou inskrywing in die klagte boekie gelees het. Ons is jammer dat dit verstop was.

Die gaste wie in die Stalle was, het die aand na 9 agtergekom dat daar nie water is nie. Hulle het toe besluit dis te laat in die aand om iemand te kontak, en het die volgende oggend net na 6:00 vir ons bestuurder per whattsapp daarvan in kennis gestel. Sy was voor 6:30 met haar helpers op die toneel, en het begin werk aan die probleem. Die pomp het nie water na die water tenks gepomp teen die spoed wat dit veronderstel was om te doen nie, en dus het die tenks droog geloop. Die pomp was teen laat oggend herstel en sy het gewag om seker te maak dat die water toevloei reg is.

Ons hoop ons sien julle weer in Matjiesvlei en dat daar dan water is en geen verstopte dreine nie.
Groete
Marietjie

Asemrowende omgewing met topklas geriewe.

Was die naweek weg as 4 mense in die bokwagtershuis. As die omgewing op sy eie nie asemrowend genoeg was nie het die akkommodasie my baie beïndruk. Niks meer as klere/kos/hout en badkamersakkie nodig nie. Alles ander insluitende WiFi word voorsien. Baie oulike boekie om te lees oor die plek se geskiedenis. Die mense wat kyk na die plek is duidelik baie trots op die juweel. Om alles te kroon was die bietjie grondpad in baaie goeie kondisie en kan met enige motor gery word. Die plek sal my beslis weer sien.

Breathtaking area with fantastic facilities.

We had a weekend getaway in the Bokwagtershuis. If the environment on its own wasn't spectacular enough, the accommodation impressed me very much. You don't need to take anything more than clothes / food / wood and vanity bag. Everything, including Wi-Fi, was provided. Very nice book to read about the history of the place. The people who look after the place are clearly very proud of this jewel. To top it all, the little dirt road is in very good condition and can be driven with any car. The place will definitely see me again.

Cannot wait to get back and enjoy the peace.

If you want a retreat to ease the violence of the cities and the noise and perpetual light and stress, come and stay at the Matjiesvlei Cottages (Middelplaas). This was the first time we have been there. We were en route from PE and stayed for two days and nights. This was inner healing without us even being aware of it. The place was clean, neat and protected against bugs and baboons etc. by brilliant security screen doors. We were so comfortable. Then on the hikes near the river or up the Kloof, every step is a revelation and you can feel your body and soul getting better by the minute. The pitch black night and the distant milky way, plus a calming silence was nature's way of calming and healing. We will be back as soon as we can. Thank you to the wonderful and most helpful staff.

Verkwikkende ervaring!

O, wat is die stilte ─ 'n wondersoete ding! Geen TV-geraas of selfoonsteurings nie! Die omgewing is wonderskoon en die verblyf is soos om terug te stap in tyd... lekker ou plaashuis met dik mure en rietplafonne (ons het in die Stalle gebly). Om op die stoep te sit en uit te kyk oor die berge is iets wat 'n mens nie elke beleef nie. Ons gaan vir seker sou gou moontlik terug vir nog 'n paar dae!

Peace and quiet - how lovely thy are! Were never disturbed by the TV nor the cell phone.

To sit on the veranda and enjoy the view of the mountain is not something you can experience every day. We will definitely stay there again for a few days, as soon as possible!

Asemrowend mooi.

Heerlike tyd gehad, maar moet noem dat niemand aan ons genoem het dat die sleutel by die huis in die kluis was nie. Ons moes vir 'n uur en 'n half op en af ry, daar was niemand wat ons kon help nie. Een van die ander plase se dames kon toe die eienaar in die hande kry en sy het ons verduidelik waar die sleutel is en wat die pin is. Toe ons uiteindelik by ons huisie kom was daar ander gaste in! Hulle was ook deurmekaar en moes eintlik by 'n hele ander huisie wees. Hulle het toe al hulle bagasie uitgedra en ons kon uiteindelik in ons huisie in. Verder was dit 'n baie spesiale tydjie en sal beslis weer gaan.

Matjiesvlei het my hart gesteel.

Wonderlike plaas, mooi natuurskoon, akkommodasie uit die boonste rakke. Die Stalle waar ons oornag het, is die pragtigste huis met aandag aan fyn detail. Ek sou heeldag net op die stoep kon sit en die natuur beleef en ervaar. Die staproete was 'n belewenis - die roete is mooi uitgewerk en duidelik. By Matjiesvlei kry mens sielsrus om jou gees weer te voed. Ek sal definitief weer dit besoek. Marietjie was baie behulpsaam met raad en aanwysings en het ons gedurig op hoogte gehou met informasie.

Baie netjies en goed toegerus, vriendelike hulp van eienaars, heerlik toegerus in die pragtige versteekte valleitjie.

Matjiesvlei is 'n klein juweeltjie. Marietjie van Matjiesvlei Cottages het ons baie mooi gehelp met aanwysings en ander nodige inligting. Ons was gelukkig om vir Gauls en Malinda wat self op die plaas boer te ontmoet. Ons het sommer gaan kyk hoe die diere kos kry wat ons dogtertjie geniet het. Elke middag het ons 'n visarend hoor roep in die vallei en saans 'n uil en piet-my-vrou van die rivier af. Daar is 'n boekie met baie oulike geskiedenis oor die plaas en agtergrond oor die omgewing in die huis. Die rivier het verbasend baie water vir lekker afkoel. Die wind kan nogal in die vallei af waai, wat braai saans so bietjie beïnvloed, maar dit het elke aand so na 19:30 gaan lê. Definitief aan te bevele!

Matjiesvlei is a little gem. Marietjie from Matjiesvlei Cottages helped us very well with directions and other necessary information. We were lucky to meet Gauls and Malinda who themselves farm on the farm. We just went to see how the animals get food, which our little girl enjoyed. Every afternoon we heard an osprey calling in the valley and in the evening an owl and pied-my-wife from the river. There is a booklet with very cool history about the farm and background about the environment in the house. The river has surprisingly a lot of water for a nice cool down. The wind can blow quite a bit down the valley, which affects the barbecue a bit in the evening, but it died down every night after 19:30. Definitely recommend!

Dit was 'n nuwe ondervinding, maar fantasties!

Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel. Stil en rustig. Voel of 'n mens in 'n ander wêreld is.

'n Lieflike rusplek! Na aan die sterre en vêr van tegnologie en stadslawaai.

Alles wat nodig is, is in die kothuis. Skoon en omgewingsvriendelik. Personeel baie vriendelik. Sal weer bespreek.

A lovely resting place! Close to the stars and far from technology and city noise.

Everything needed is in the cottage. Clean and environmentally friendly. Staff very friendly. Will book again.

Rustig en tuis gevoel in natuurskoon omgewing.

Die enigste opmerking teen Middelplaas is die matraste wat a bietjie verby vervang datum is. Verder is alles buite verwagting. Ons is engels sprekend so vra verskoning vir die swak gebuik van die taal. Dankie vir alles en dankie aan Marietjie Scannel. Denis Wingfield

Peaceful and homely feeling in scenic surroundings.

The only comment against Middelplaas is the mattresses which are a little past their replacement date. Furthermore, everything is beyond expectation. We are English speaking so apologize for the poor use of the language. Thanks for everything and thanks to Marietjie Scannel. Denis Wingfield

Ons verblyf was baie rustig en ons het die pragtige uitsig en omgewing baie geniet!

Dis 'n pragtige, rustige en uitstekende plek om weg te breek van die stad se gewoel. Ons sal definitief weer kom kuier en Matjiesvlei aanbeveel aan ons familie en vriende!

Heerlik en stil, wat mens laat wonder waarom ons so jaag elke dag van ons lewe.

Die Stalle was pragtig. Die groot stoep was die lekkerste van die hele kuier en gelukkig was daar in een van die vertrekke lugverkoeling. Die kombuisie is baie klein, maar het al die nodige goed gehad. Die beddens is baie gemaklik en ruim, en die beddegoed is van goeie, pragtige, wit linne. Die twee kleiner kamers was warm. Ons het baie lekker gekuier en sal beslis weer daar wil bly vir 'n langer periode, want die hele atmosfeer is net lekkerrrr!

Lovely and quiet, which makes you wonder why we are in such a rush every day of our lives.

The Stables were beautiful. The large veranda was the most enjoyable of the whole visit and luckily there was air conditioning in one of the rooms. The kitchen is very small, but had all the necessary things. The beds are very comfortable and spacious, and the bedding is made of good, beautiful, white linen. The two smaller rooms were warm. We had a great time and would definitely like to stay there again for a longer period, because the whole atmosphere is just nice!
