A wonderful, peaceful stay.

The stay was great, the location is lovely. The house was well equipped for everything we needed, clean and very comfortable. The only slight issue was when locals saw us sitting on the patio (which is very visible from the road), they would ask to wash the car or clean the braai, etc. for money, but they didn't pester too much after being told no.

Lekker en rustig.

Ons het vreeslik lekker gebly, alles is daar jy hoef niks saam te neem nie. Dit is skoon, rustig en al so goed gelig. Daar is tot bord speletjies en braai gereedskap.

Nice and quiet.

We had a really nice stay, everything is there, you don't need to take anything with you. It is clean, peaceful and already so well lit. There are up to board games and barbecue tools.

Pleasant old fashioned feel with comfort.

Superb communication from our host. The house is exactly like the photos - quaint, old-fashioned feel, but with everything one needs. Very comfortable beds and linen, but do note not suitable for very tall people (framed beds). Bath inside only, but nice outdoor shower. No water from taps when load shedding, but host did supply many 5l waters. The best feature is the verandah and garden, with many trees and hence fantastic shade, bird life and birdsong. All in all a lovely stay, and the communication was superb, as were the thoughtful touches - laid out tea tray with delicious biscuits just to name one.

Modderfort is 'n klein wegkruipplekkie, waar mens jou eie batterye kan herlaai.

Ons het heerlik gebly, en alles wat ons kon benodig het, was binne handbereik. Ons gasvrou het baie moeite gedoen met inligtingverskaffing vooraf, die regkry van vuurmaakhout, en selfs heerlike koekies met aankoms. Die beddens is hemels, en ons het so lekker geslaap. Ons twee hou van ontsnap uit die warboel van die stad, en die verblyf was perfek, met absoluut niks om te doen nie; baie gelees, geslaap en die natuur ingedrink vanaf Modderfort se lekker sitstoep. Die enigste kritiek is dat die stortdrein geblokkeer was vir die duur van ons verblyf, selfs na rapportering daarvan.

Modderfort is a small hiding place, where you can recharge your own batteries.

We had a wonderful stay, and everything we could have needed was within reach. Our hostess put a lot of effort into providing information in advance, getting firewood, and even delicious cookies on arrival. The beds are heavenly, and we slept so well. The two of us like to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the stay was perfect, with absolutely nothing to do; read a lot, slept and drank in nature from Modderfort's nice sitting terrace. The only criticism is that the shower drain was blocked for the duration of our stay, even after reporting it.

Unsafe.

[12/01, 20:17] Liz Meets: Hi Debbie we are home safe. Do want to inform you about a black man because he was there many times during the weekend or wanted to come in, yesterday found him at the gate, don't think he saw us on the porch and did see the door open and took his chance, before he could entered the gate I chased him away and this morning he was at the front door again, I went out the side door and chased him away again. Friday night there was also someone on the yard, I assume he was watching the house. Just wanted to let you know. Have a nice evening and week ahead. [12/01, 20:20] Debbie: Thank you very much for letting me know. His name is Van Rooy and he is a big annoyance. He is not entirely "nice" and also begs from visitors in town. Sorry about that!

Loved the property, very clever amenities for our stay, especially all the candles in the right places during load shedding. Loved the outdoor shower and the beautiful decor.

Dit was heerlik by Modderfort!

Die huisie lyk presies soos op die foto's. Ons het net nie besef dit gaan so 'n ou huisie wees nie, maar ons was aangenaam verras. Dit was regtig vir ons lekker om daar te bly! Alles wat ons nodig gehad het en nog meer. Daar was tot bottels water om te gebuik as daar beurtkrag sou wees. En fynhout om die kaggel mee aan die gang te kry! Ek het baie foto's geneem en vir my familie en vriende gestuur. Die mooiste plekkie!

The cottage looks exactly like the pictures. We just didn't realize it was going to be such an old house, but we were pleasantly surprised. It was really nice for us to stay there! Everything we needed and more. There were up to bottles of water to use if there was load shedding. And fine wood to get the fireplace going! I took many pictures and sent them to my family and friends. The most beautiful place!

Pragtige tweeslaapkamer huis met tuin.

Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en het vir ons aanwysings voor die tyd gegee, asook waar die sleutel gebêre word. In- en uitklok was baie gerieflik. Die huis het 2 slaapkamers elk met 'n dubbel bed en 'n pragtige "outydse yster katel" die bed het goeie gehaltelinne op gehad. Daar is 'n badkamer met 'n "slipper bath"-toilet en 'n wasbak. Hande seep en room was voorsien. Daar was ook 'n stort in die tuin. Die kombuis was toegerus met 'n stoof, mikrogolfoond en yskas. Daar was 'n groot tafel om by te eet binne as jy nie wou buite op die stoep eet nie. Die groot stoep was 'n lekker kuierplek met 2 dagbeddens met pragtige kleurvolle komberse en kussings. Daar was 'n groot tafel en stoele op die stoep waar jy gerieflik kon by eet en kuier. Daar was lampe voorsien vir loadshedding. Daar was 'n braai-area, bring net jou eie hout saam as jy wil braai. Daar was geen TV of WiFi nie. Die tuin was omhein en veilig vir troeteldiere. Jy kon jou motor langs die huis parkeer. Oppidam Coffee Shop was 'n teleurstelling met "average" ontbyt, sal hulle nie aanbeveel nie. Maak eerder jou eie ontbyt. Ons kan Modderfort aanbeveel vir lekker selfsog verblyf.

Beautiful two bedroom house with garden.

The hostess was very friendly and gave us directions ahead of time, as well as where the key is kept. Check-in and check-out was very convenient. The house has 2 bedrooms each with a double bed and a beautiful "old fashioned iron kettle" the bed had good quality linen on it. There is a bathroom with a "slipper bath" toilet and a sink. Hand soap and cream were provided. There was also a shower in the garden. The kitchen was equipped with a stove, microwave and refrigerator. There was a large table to eat at inside if you didn't want to eat outside on the porch. The large porch was a nice place to hang out with 2 daybeds with beautiful colorful blankets and pillows. There was a large table and chairs on the porch where you could comfortably eat and hang out. There were lamps provided for load shedding. There was a braai area, just bring your own wood if you want to braai. There was no TV or WiFi. The garden was fenced and safe for pets. You could park your car next to the house. Oppidam Coffee Shop was a disappointment with "average" breakfast, would not recommend them. Make your own breakfast instead. We can recommend Modderfort for nice self-catering accommodation.

Rus en vrede op 'n plaasdorp.

Modderfort is 'n cute plekkie met baie charm. Die stoep was baie lekker om te sit en kuier en die dorp se dinge te besigtig. Die eenheid was goed toegerus met al die nodige toebehore. Die tuin is baie groot vir die kinders om in te speel. Die plekkie was skoon en netjies. Ons het wel 'n probleem gehad met die waterdrukking, maar dit was a.g.v. loadshedding. Maar hulle was meer as gewillig om vir ons 'n plan te maak, maar dit was nie nodig nie. Ons wou die dorp Rosendal ervaar en het besluit op Modderfort vir ons verblyf. Sal gerus die verblyf aanbeveel.

Peace and quiet on a farm town.

Modderfort is a cute place with a lot of charm. The stoep was very nice to sit and visit and view the town's things. The unit was well equipped with all the necessary accessories. The garden is very big for the children to play in. The place was clean and tidy. We did have a problem with the water pressure, but it was due to load shedding. But they were more than willing to make a plan for us, but it wasn't necessary. We wanted to experience the town of Rosendal and decided on Modderfort for our stay. Would feel free to recommend the accommodation.

Outentiek en lieflik verwelkomend!

Die huisie pas perfek in Rosendal. Ons was heerlik ontvang in 'n warm huisie met die fynste detail en die belofte van lente saam met 'n paar bloeisels! PS. daar is 'n pikante muis (met 'n huis) in die tuin. As jy stil genoeg sit is dit die oulikste wesentjie om dop te hou! Ek dink dis 'n meisie muis. Net meisies is so organised!

Authentic and lovely welcoming!

The house fits perfectly in Rosendal. We were wonderfully received in a warm house with the finest detail and the promise of spring together with a few blossoms! P.S. there is a piquant mouse (with a house) in the garden. If you sit still enough it is the cutest little creature to watch! I think it's a girl mouse. Only girls are so organized!

A cosy, quaint delight.

Modderfort is a gorgeous little cottage, full of delightful little surprises - from the antique teacups and rusks set out on the table for us when we arrived, to the baths salts, to a deliciously deep slipper bath, to the luxurious down duvets that kept us snug on some very cold nights. Can't recommend it highly enough. We found Rosendal charming, too - picturesque, arty and quiet, with very friendly people - and the local restaurant/bar (Yollas) had the best "dirty fries"!

Plattelandse sjiek.

Modderfort is een van vele verblyf opsies in Rosendaal, maar een van die goedkoper opsies sonder om enige iets prys te gee. Ek het my verlustig aan al die detail en die mooi goed - soos uit 'n tydskrif. Daardie twee dagbeddens op die stoep met die pragtige dekens is die kersie op die koek.

Country chic.

Modderfort is one of many accommodation options in Rosendaal, but one of the cheaper options without giving up anything. I reveled in all the detail and the pretty stuff - like from a magazine. Those two daybeds on the porch with the beautiful blankets are the icing on the cake.

Ons het heerlik gekuier as 'n familie, die plek was baie netjies en skoon en ek sal beslis weer daar tuisgaan. Ek sou net baie graag die gasvrou wou ontmoet, maar sy het vir ons heerlike slaaie en vleis gereed gehad in die yskas wat ons die aand kon braai. Sy het vir alles gesorg, tot braaihout!

Beautifully decorated, equipped with everything you need and situated within walking distance of everything in Rosendal (not that one needs to go very far to reach anything here). The attention to detail is superb, communication from the owner was brilliant, sunsets from the stoep are golden. I can't fault Modderfort, it's a gem!

Die mees bekoorlike Hansie en Grietjie huisie suid van die ewenaar.

Varsgebakte koeksisters en kaggelhout. Die eienares het die olieverwarmer aangeskakel laatmiddag om ons huisie te verwarm in die bibberkoue. Tuinblomme oral en ongerepte landskap rondom ons huisie. Die aandag aan detail is verstommend en die buitestort met warm water op 'n winteroggend onvergeetlik!

Heerlik!

Die naweek in Rosendal was alles waarvoor ons kon vra. Keurige verblyf met ekstra spesiale aandag in die vorm van vars gebakte koekies. Wonderlike wit linne, ‘n groot lekker bad en heerlike warm water. Ons het elke oggend die Queen Anne-stofie gepak en aangesteek teen die koue. Goed toegerus en mooi versier met kuns en getuig van goeie smaak.

Pragtige huisie, baie goed toegerus en lieflike buitestort. Kon heerlik uitrus, ons is heeltyd op hoogte gehou van moontlike watertekort hoewel dit ons nie oorgekom het nie, asook van die gebeure wat ons kon bywoon op die dorpie.

Heerlike, rustige wegkom van die harwar van die stad!

Modderfort is 'n pragtige juweel in die rustige dorp van Rosendal. Die stoep is heerlik om op te kuier en die plekkie is toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het. Een ding wat baie belangrik is vir die gaste om te weet is dat daar geen buitelig by die braai-area is nie - so dis belangrik om 'n lamp of head lamps saam te vat vir braai na sononder.

Lovely, peaceful getaway from the muddle of the city!

Modderfort is a beautiful jewel in the tranquil village of Rosendal. The veranda is lovely to visit and the place is equipped with everything you need. One thing that is very important for guests to know is that there is no outdoor light at the braai area - so it is important to bring a lamp or head lamps for braai after sunset.
