Net te kort! Hehe.

Ek moes laaste minuut vir werk deurkom van PTA af. Ons het verdwaal a.g.v. Google 8 uur die aand maar toe ons eventually Josie bel, het sy dadelik haar foon opgetel en gehelp met 'n pin drop ens. Anders as dit, was ons baie beïndruk en kan nie wag om terug te kom nie. Bly ons die plek ontdek. Sien gou weer vir seker!

Just too short! Hehe.

I had to come through last minute for work from PTA. We got lost because Google at 8 o'clock in the evening but when we eventually called Josie, she immediately picked up her phone and helped with a pin drop etc. Other than that, we were very impressed and can't wait to come back. Glad we discovered the place. See you soon for sure!

Pragtige ligging, vooraf kommunikasie en ontvangs was baie goed.

Net ter inligitng vir besoekers: Malachite Cabin is baie oulik, net jammer dat Malachite se dam nie ge-stock is nie. Geen koffiebekers. Maak seker julle bring genoeg brikette vir braai, en dat die braai wel by die cabin is met aankoms. Geen kos beskikbaar, selfs nie by die 'kroegie', naaste dorp is 40 min se ry.

Beautiful location, advance communication and reception were very good.

Just to inform visitors: Malachite Cabin is very cute, just a pity that Malachite's dam is not stocked. No coffee mugs. Make sure you bring enough briquettes for braai, and that the braai is at the cabin on arrival. No food available, not even at the 'pub', nearest town is a 40 min drive.

Hi Kobus,
Thank you for your review.
We do have four green coffee mugs hanging on hooks you did see them in the kitchen.
Our accommodation is only self catering we do not serve any food unless prior arrangements are made.
The dams were stocked in November.
I apologies for the braai not being at the cottage it was used at another cottage and not returned.

Sielskos, rustige atmosfeer, natuur op sy beste. Baie netjies onderhou en die azaleas blom in oorvloed.

Pragtige, skoon houthuisie. Ons het vir die tweede keer in Malachite gebly. Die huisie is baie privaat en jy is glad nie bewus van ander mense nie. Baie goed geleë om die res van Magoebaskloof se voëlkykplekke te verken. Baie voëls by die damme en heerlike wandelroetes. Geniet elke keer die bird hide!

Soul food, peaceful atmosphere, nature at its best. Very neatly maintained and the azaleas bloom in abundance.

Beautiful, clean wooden house. We stayed in Malachite for the second time. The cottage is very private and you are not aware of other people at all. Very well located to explore the rest of Magoebaskloof's bird watching spots. Lots of birds at the ponds and lovely walking trails. Enjoy the bird hide every time!

Netjies en mooi, maar kommunikasie is nie goed nie.

Dit was baie mooi en netjies, maar dit is belangrik dat jou gaste vooraf weet dat daar geen krag is nie, ons het twee baie klein kindertjies en was eers omtrent 3 dae voor ons sou inklok ingelig dat die eenheid hardloop op sonkrag en daar is geen kragpunte in die huis nie. Oor die algemeen gee ons glad nie om daaroor nie, maar ons moes vooraf daaroor ingelig geword het veral omdat ons twee kleintjies het sodat ons die nodige reëlings kan maak. Die hoofslaapkamer se stort bied ook nie warm water aan nie, die huisie word gestook met 'n donkie en al die ander badkamers en krane het warm water gehad, maar nie die hoofslaapkamer se stort nie. Andersins, is die huisie baie mooi en netjies en ideaal om te ontspan.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Neat and nice, but communication is not good.

It was very nice and tidy, but it is important that your guests know in advance that there is no power, we have two very small children and were only informed about 3 days before we were to check in that the unit runs on solar power and there is no power points in the house. In general, we don't mind it at all, but we should have been informed about it in advance, especially since we have two little ones so that we can make the necessary arrangements. The master bedroom's shower doesn't offer hot water either, the cottage is heated with a donkey and all the other bathrooms and faucets had hot water, but not the master bedroom's shower. Otherwise, the cottage is very nice and tidy and ideal for relaxing.

Hi Chantelle,
Thank you for your review.
If you go to the description of the Loggers Cabin it does mention that there are only solar lights, and no electricity.
We had guests staying before you booked in and after you left, and no one complained about the shower. We will attend to it.

Horrible!

I absolutely feel we paid way too much for what we got. If you have no electricity, no plugs not even the solar lights worked, then I actually don't know what we paid for. The whole cabin smelled like gas. I will not recommend to anyone nor will I ever stay there again. I had 2 old people staying with us and they had no lights to even go to the bathroom in the evening. It was absolutely horrible.

Kingfisher Log Cabin 's response

Hi Amrie,
Thanks your your review.
I apologies for the inconvenience caused.
This has never ever happened before.
I don't understand why you didn't complain to management we would have sorted the problem out.
Johannes came to light the donkey boiler early Saturday morning and again in the afternoon and you where all sitting out sit you did mention anything to him either.
On Monday evening when I phoned you after reading the review you told me that you where too busy you could let me know. We had chatted on WhatsApp earlier in the week you could have just sent me a message to tell me about the lights.

Dit was 'n heerlike naweek. Alles was skoon en netjies versorg.

Die natuur, rustigheid, huisie en versorging van die terrein het bygedra tot die positiewe ervaring. Dit was sielskos. Ons is voëlkykers en die wandelroete met die twee bird hides was 'n bonus.

Such a cozy cabin during the colder months, we loved our stay.

The cottages are well equiped with everything that is needed. Magoebaskloof gets cold and the cabin ensures guest are warm, toasty and comfortable. The beds in the Fish Eagle cabin are very soft and bouncy, think it needs replacing.

Cosy, well-appointed cabin in the wilderness.

The Malachite cabin is cosy and clean, looking right over its own private dam. The only small downside is that it is unfortunately not equipped with a gas stove so you can’t make tea during long power failures. I would love to go back.

'n Wegbreekplek vir mense wat stilte soek.

Loggers cabin is weg van alles en almal. Dit is nie op die riviertjie soos die ander nie, maar bied iets anders: stilte wat oorverdowend is en werklike rus en vrede. Die warmwater kom van 'n donkie af en die ligte is solar panels. Geen charger vir jou foon nie en dit is fantasties vir mense wat skryf en die naweek sonder tegnologie wil gaan. Ek sal julle weer aanbeveel.

A getaway for people looking for silence.

Loggers cabin is away from everything and everyone. It is not on the river like the others, but offers something different: silence that is deafening and real peace and quiet. The hot water comes from a donkey and the lights are solar panels. No charger for your phone and it's fantastic for people who write and want to go without technology for the weekend. I will recommend you guys again.

Ongelooflike mooi plek en baie stil en rustig.

Die plek sit in 'n stunning area. Ek moes 'n troue doen by Cheerio Gardens en Mountain Fly Fishing was naby genoeg aan als en is baie veilig. Almal is baie vriendelik. Die Pygmy cottage is net reg vir 2 en baie eenvoudig. Die paaie was net bietjie rof, maar gelukkig vir ons het ons die bakkie gehad. Daar is baie om in die area te doen en baie roetes om te stap. Josie en haar man is baie vriendelik gewees en het ons baie privaatheid gegun. Die hoofpunt was die boom swing wat uit kyk oor die dam. Min wat mens dit nog vandag kry. Ek het weer soos 'n kind in my element gevoel. Kunsvlieghengel was ook lekker.

The place is in a stunning area. I had to do a wedding at Cheerio Gardens and Mountain Fly Fishing was close enough to everything and very safe. Everyone is very friendly. The Pygmy Cottage is just right for 2 and very simple. The roads were a little rough, but luckily for us we had the bakkie. There is plenty to do in the area and many trails to hike. Josie and her husband were very friendly and gave us a lot of privacy. The main point was the tree swing that looks out over the dam. Little that one still gets today. I felt like a kid in my element again. Artificial fishing was also fun.

Netjies en skoon en pragtige ligging!

Enigste tekortkominge was die gebruik van 'n donkie-warmwatersisteem wat veroorsaak het dat ons geen warm water gehad het op die Sondagoggend nie aangesien die vuur eers 8 uur gestook is. Die sisteem vermors baie water deur bykans 4 minute te wag vir warm water om deur te kom. Roete na die Loggers Cabin is nie geskik vir 'n gewone voertuig nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Neat and clean and beautiful location!

Only shortcomings were the use of a donkey hot water system which meant we had no hot water on the Sunday morning as the fire was only lit for 8 hours. The system wastes a lot of water by waiting almost 4 minutes for hot water to come through. Route to the Loggers Cabin is not suitable for an ordinary vehicle.

Pragtig, stil, afgeleë en absoluut die moeite werd.

Mountain Fly Fishing se eenheid was volledig toegerus met 'n lieflike stoep. Jy is omring deur groot bome, foreldamme en 'n magdom natuurlewe. Daar is kort staproetes sowel as goeie forelhengel beskikbaar op die plaas. Die grondpad na die plaas toe is glad nie sleg nie en ons kon maklik met ons stadsmotor daar uitkom. Daar was gereeld en deeglik met ons gekommunikeer en ons sal binnekort weer terug wees.

We were communicated with regularly and thoroughly and we will be back again soon.

Netjies, prakties en goed toegerus met als wat en meer wat jy kan nodig hê.

Die verblyf is netjies, skoon en goed toegerus. Selfs met solar ligte was daar meer as genoeg lig. Die eienaars het gesorg dat die donkie vroegoggend aangesteek is en daar was geen probleem met warm water nie. Spesiale dank aan Josi, wat uit haar pad gegaan het om ons te akkommodeer met kragpunte in Wagtail om hare te blaas vir 'n troue.

Neat, practical and well-equipped with everything and more than you need.

The accommodation is neat, clean and well-equipped. Even with solar lights, there was more than enough light. The owners made sure that the donkey was lit early in the morning and there was no problem with hot water. Special thanks to Josi, who went out of her way to accommodate us with power points in Wagtail to blowdry hair for a wedding.

Beautiful scenery with abundant bird life.

We stayed in the kingfisher and fish eagle cottages. The cottages are well appointed and comfortable. Staff were friendly and efficient. Fishing was sporadic but did manage a couple nice fish and there was a cold front. Dams could do with a bit of clearing of weeds and brush around them. Highlight of the trip was seeing two Knysna turaco, a lifer for me.

Heerlike wegbreek vir 'n romantiese (lang)naweek.

Die huisie was skoon en uitstekend toegerus. Dit was vir ons heerlik om met bergfietse tot in Haenertsburg te ry vir ontbyt en die uitsig in die omgewing is fantasties... en indien die weer jou dwing om binne te bly is dit selfs beter aangesien die kaggel sorg vir die perfekte atmosfeer. Haenertsburg (die dorp) is baie rustig en hartlik. Indien jy op 'n Vrydagmiddag van die suide af kom, laat dalk 'n addisionele 30-45 minute toe vir reistyd.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Great getaway for a romantic (long) weekend.

The cottage was clean and excellently equipped. It was great for us to ride mountain bikes into Haenertsburg for breakfast and the view in the area is fantastic... and if the weather forces you to stay inside it is even better as the fireplace provides the perfect atmosphere. Haenertsburg (the town) is very peaceful and warm. If you are coming from the south on a Friday afternoon, maybe allow an additional 30-45 minutes for travel time.

Baie rustig op die plaas.

Ons het lekker gedraf, fiets gery en gestap en skaars iemand gesien. Die atmosfeer en die omgewing was vir ons absoluut idillies. Die daaglikse skoonmaak van die huisie was heerlik. Die rook trek 'n bietjie by die huisie in wanneer hulle vuurmaak in die donkie. Die nuwe badkamer was 'n pluspunt, maar ons het daar gesukkel omdat warm water vreeslik lank vat om daar uit te kom.

Very quiet on the farm.

We jogged, cycled and walked and hardly saw anyone. The atmosphere and the surroundings were absolutely idyllic for us. The daily cleaning of the cottage was lovely. The smoke gets a little into the house when they make a fire in the donkey. The new bathroom was a plus, but we struggled there because hot water took an awful long time to get out.

As ons oor een ding iets negatief kan sê, is dit die pad in die berg in. Gebruik liewer 'n sterker voertuig met groter wiele as ons klein motortjie!

Ons het heerlik ontspan in die prentjiemooi omgewing en romantiese houthuisie.

Dit is 'n lieflike plek om net te ontspan in 'n prentjemooi omgewing. Die huisies het 'n pragtige uitsig oor die vlieghengeldamme en is knus, netjies en stylvol ingerig met als wat mens benodig. Ons is selfs van kaggel- en braaihout voorsien. Ons kon ook baie lekker stap op kort wandelpaadjies. Ek sal Mountain Fly Fishing aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat hou van 'n rustige omgewing weg van die gedruis van baie mense. Neem wel 'n paar lekker leesboeke saam!

We had a great time relaxing in the picturesque surroundings and romantic wooden house.

It's a lovely place to just relax in a picture-perfect setting. The cottages have a beautiful view of the fly fishing ponds and are cosy, tidy and stylishly furnished with everything you need. We were even provided with fireplace and braai wood. We also had a great time walking on short walking paths. I would recommend Mountain Fly Fishing to anyone who likes a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle of many people. Do take some nice reading books with you!

We have travelled throughout SA as well as the US and UK and Mountain fly fishing will be on our top 5 best vacations. Not only is the scenery tranquil, the setting, sounds and smells are unlike any other in SA. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of living, we would recommend it.

The experience was lovely and our cottage beautiful and well appointed. Josie was superb and I would happily visit any time again.

The only negative issues were that there was no warning of the bad road to get to the venue. Thankfully we were prepared and had eaten before we arrived as we would not have been happy to check in and then have to go out again to eat. The water pressure is also very low and it was hard to get a decent shower as a result. However, the total experience was really lovely and neither of the two issues would prevent me from going back. Wonderful job Josie, we hope to visit again in the future!
