Joyful.
Very nice stay in a cute, neat little house in the Karoo with a beautiful view of the Matroosberge with snow on it (during winter). Nice close to Aquila Private Game Reserve, if you want to go wildlife watching, and there are nice roadside stalls on the way from Cape Town. Not too far from Cape Town. It was an ideal weekend getaway for us. Thank you very much.

So a very quiet peaceful place. Teenagers don't enjoy it so much. There is not much to do. You can get on your bike and ride far.

No signal, no TV, lets you really connect with your people and nature again. Cottages are modern and planned with so much taste. The owners are so hospitable and friendly. We had a lovely stay and will definitely go back again. Everything was great!

Nice break in the quiet Karoo.
A lot of walking, nice sitting by the fireplace inside and outside at the big circular barbecue with the most beautiful stars. Would definitely go again and also want to use the private camp facilities with a beautiful waterfall and hot tub.

Value for money if you want to get away from city and technology.
There is no cell phone reception or WiFi. If you like walking and cycling, then you can easily spend your day on the farm. Not recommended for people with children. Swimming pool is also not "at" the accommodation. There is a swimming pool, but it is some distance away from the cottages. The small houses for max 2 people are neat. The cottage for 4 is neat, but the sleeping facilities are not for 4 people in one cottage - unless you don't mind sleeping on the "bench". There is an outside room with bunk bed, but not all children will like to sleep alone outside away from parents. Our children didn't want to, so the unit became cramped. It wasn't cleaned well either. There was hair in the sink drain and the shower was creepy to say the least. We had no hot water one day, and the next day there was no water - neither hot nor cold. For us it was a disappointment especially because we took 2 Swedish aunts with us who had never been to the Karoo. We all had the "link" to the web page with the photos and previous feedback and what we expected was definitely not what we got. 'Attention to detail' is lacking. Things like making sure the doorknobs are fixed or the hanging cupboard handles are fixed, lights are dusted, hair is taken out of drains, etc. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

An experience we want to forget quickly!
I was under the impression that the 2nd bedroom was indoors, but was to discover that it is a tiny room at the back of the house where you can hardly breathe. There is a hole in the door with "mash" on it that probably serves as a ventilator. There are no toilet facilities for the people sleeping there, which means they have to use the field at night if there is an emergency. We had to sleep with an open door, as the key in the security gate was broken by the guests who were there before us, while the door did not have a lock on it. So I had to lie awake all night, while my children slept in the car, which at least they could lock! There are braai facilities, but no wood available, while you are not informed about it in advance. A microwave in the kitchen would also be welcome to at least heat up food. On arrival at the swimming pool, we had to ask for it to be cleaned as it was infested with insects and frogs, with plants hanging down into the pool, while it is advertised as a sparkling blue pool. The heated pool is limited to a certain cottage and must be advertised as such, and since the place is open and in the mountain, the area around the cottages can be properly cleaned. The hammock is also hidden behind a tree in the grass. Cleanliness is my priority and I feel that when you entertain guests, you go the extra mile. That is why we always leave the places we visit as we received them. We only slept 1 night and left just after 7 the next morning to the comfort and safety of our home.

Geagte Abe,
Ek waardeer jou terugvoering en wil graag 'n paar sake verduidelik om seker te maak dat daar 'n duidelike begrip is.
Die aspekte waaroor gekla is, is meestal duidelik in die advertensie aangedui. Die ekstra slaapplek is geadverteer as 'n buitekamer, los van die hoofhuis, en word spesifiek vir ouer kinders of volwassenes aanbeveel, omdat dit nie deel van die hoofhuis is nie. Hierdie inligting is duidelik in die advertensie verskaf, en ek het gepoog om volkome deursigtig te wees. Die huis is ook geadverteer met slegs een badkamer, en ek begryp daarom nie die versoek vir 'n tweede badkamer nie. Ek beveel altyd aan dat gaste die beskikbare geriewe in die huis deeglik deurlees voordat hulle bespreek.
Wat betref die aantal gaste, die huis is geskik vir 'n maksimum van 4 mense, soos geadverteer. Dit is betreurenswaardig dat daar 7 gaste opgedaag het, wat natuurlik enige ruimte beperk. Daarom moes sommige van die gaste in die voertuig oorbly. U is versoek om die ekstra drie mense huis toe te stuur, omdat die geriewe slegs 4 mense toelaat. Ek glo dat dit belangrik is om die geadverteerde kapasiteit te respekteer om 'n aangename ervaring vir almal te verseker.
Ten opsigte van houtverskaffing, ons het wel hout te koop, en ek moedig altyd aan dat gaste navraag doen indien hulle hout benodig. Ek beaam dat die warm swembadjie slegs by een van ons huise beskikbaar is, soos in die advertensie aangedui.
Ek hoop hierdie verduidelikings bied meer insig, en indien daar enige verdere vrae of bekommernisse is, staan ek tot u diens.
U het vir 4 mense bespreek, dit is die maksimum kapasiteit van die huis, maar julle was 7 gaste wat opgedaag het. Enige spasie sal dan bietjie beknop voel. Daarom moes van die gaste in die kar geslaap het. U is versoek om die ekstra 3 mense huis toe te stuur omdat die geriewe slegs 4 toelaat. Dit was u keuse om al 7 die volgende oggend eerder huis toe te gaan. Ek voel dit is baie slegte maniere om meer mense op te daag as waarvoor betaal is.
Geen akkommodasie hoef hout te voorsien nie. Ons het wel hout te koop, u kon vra indien u hout wou gehad het. Die warm swembadjie word slegs by een huis geadverteer. Weereens het u nie die advertensie deeglik gelees voor u bespreek het nie. Ek hoop hierdie verduidelikings bied meer insig, en indien daar enige verdere vrae of bekommernisse is, staan ek tot u diens.
Groete,
Elzanne

Very pleasant.
We had a lovely break at Matroosbergstasie cottages. Would really recommend them. The houses are very neat and clean. The people are friendly and hospitable. The nature, beautiful stars and tranquility help one to relax. You can walk around the farm, barbecue and swim. Signal can be found within walking distance if needed. We would love to visit again.
