Just what we needed after a long day in the car.

We loved our stay! The host was friendly, the accommodation was beautiful, the setting was peaceful, and our breakfast in the morning was delicious.

Lekker stil (plaaslewe) akkommodasie, skoon vars lug was welkom.

Uitstekende verblyf. Goeie geriewe, en goed toegerus. Vriendelike gasheer, en kinders het die spasie en grasperke geniet. Van die beste akkommodasie wat ons nog gebruik het.

Nice quiet (farm life) accommodation, clean fresh air was welcome.

Excellent stay. Good facilities, and well equipped. Friendly host, and children enjoyed the space and lawns. Some of the best accommodation we have ever used.

Fantastic guest house with every comfort in very quiet surroundings.

Dieses Gästehaus ist einfach spitze und muss sich nicht hinter 5 Sterne Hotels verstecken. Die betten sind mega bequem. Alles ist tip top in Schuss. Meine 2 Nächte dort zählen zu den besten in ganz Südafrika! Vielen Dank an Wilhelm und dem ganzen Team des Gästehauses! Ich komme sehr gerne wieder!

Rustigheid, kalmerend, ontspannend.

Het besluit om vir my verjaarsdag bietjie weg te breek van stad se bedrywighede. Het dit genoem teenoor die eienaar, Wilhelm, en met my aankoms het dié heerlikste sjokolade koek en "sparkles" gewag. Dis dié tipe dinge wat 'n plek spesiaal maak! Die Cottage is ongelooflik toegerus en baie luuks vanaf die meubels tot toerusting tot die beddegoed. Dis privaat en die werf se honde kom sê elke nou en dan "hallo"! Ons was vir die halwe Saterdag deur na die Berg Kwagga Nasionale Park. Dit is die moeite werd! Ek sal Mountain View aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat my ooit sal vra en ek sal sonder twyfel weer teruggaan.

Tranquility, calming, relaxing.

Decided to take a little break from city activities for my birthday. Mentioned this to the owner, Wilhelm, and upon my arrival this most delicious chocolate cake and "sparkles" were waiting. It's these types of things that make a place special! The Cottage is incredibly equipped and very luxurious from the furniture to the equipment to the bedding. It's private and the site's dogs come to say "hello" every now and then! We went to the Berg Kwagga National Park for half of Saturday. It is worth the effort! I would recommend Mountain View to anyone who would ever ask me and I would without a doubt go back again.

Baie dankie Pieter vir die resensie, dit was 'n voorreg om vir julle kos te kon gemaak het. Jammer ons lamvleis kon nie vir julle smaakvol wees nie, ongelukkig bied Cradock ook nie veel suikervrye bestanddele of produkte nie. Niks van julle spyskaart het suiker bevat nie en alles was spesiaal aangekoop.

Absolute lafenis

Mountain View is ver onderwaardeer vir die koste per nag. Hierdie wonderlike gasteplaas het die beste toebehore, pragtigste dekor, lieflike ruim kamers en die ongelooflike onderdak verhitte swembad. Die eienaar het ons regtig spesiaal laat voel om sy pragtige gastehuis vir ons uit te huur! Sal definitef weer hier gaan vakansie hou.

Mountain View is 'n werklike puik plek om oor te bly. Nie net die geriewe nie, maar ook die omgewing. Dit is 'n werkende plaas en jy sien alles. Wilhelm en al die ander persone daar het jou van die begin af laat welkom voel. Maak gerus gebruik van die restaurant. Die sjef is puik en jy sal dit geniet om daar te eet. Ek sal enige tyd aanbeveel en ook weer hier oorbly as ek weer in die omgewing is.

Absolute rus en vrede in die mooiste plek ooit!

Wat 'n fantastiese plek in die hart van die Oos-Kaap. Die kinders het hulleself gate uit geniet, ons kon lekker braai, die hond was gelukkig en verder is dit regtig die mooiste binneversiering wat ek nog in 'n blyplek gesien het! Dankie vir die fabulous oorslaap, vriendelike geselsies en die spesiale touches (lekker wyn, die hond se beskuitjie en sjokolade op die kussings). Ons sien julle verseker weer aan die einde van die jaar!

Thanks for the fabulous sleepover, friendly chats and special touches (nice wine, the dog's biscuit and chocolate on the pillows). We'll definitely see again at the end of the year!

As an older visitor with a handicap, I was impressed by the safety measures provided. I have seldom encountered this at other venues I have visited through the years. The peaceful farm atmosphere and surroundings were totally to our satisfaction.

Beslis die moeite werd om daar te slaap.

Vandat ons daar aangekom het, was ons welkom. Vriendelike ontvangs deur ons gasheer, Wilhelm, en 'n pragtige skoon en gerieflike kamer het die koue van buite verdryf. Daar was vars blomme in ons kamer en luukse gehalte badmiddels asook heerlike sjokolade en ook 'n sjokolade op ons kussing. Wilhelm het self vir ons kom vuurmaak en ons bederf met 'n heerlike kaasbord met sjerrie, biltong en droëwors. Die ontbyt was uit die boonste rakke en ons is daar weg met die vaste voorneme om weer daar oor te bly. Voorwaar 'n juweel!

Definitely worth sleeping there.

From the moment we got there, we were welcome. A friendly welcome by our host, Wilhelm, and a beautiful clean and comfortable room chased away the cold outside. There were fresh flowers in our room and luxurious quality bath products as well as delicious chocolates and also a chocolate on our pillow. Wilhelm himself came to make a fire for us and treated us to a delicious cheese plate with sherry, biltong and dried sausage. The breakfast was top notch and we left with the firm intention of staying there again. Truly a gem!

Sommer net twee woorde: ongelooflik lekker!

Dit was asemrowend mooi by Mountain View Country Guest House. Ek was effens huiwerig omdat dit 'n entjie buite die dorp van Cradock was, maar dit was so rustig en absoluut die moeite werd om daai super vars, skoon lug te kon inasem. Dis net wat ons nodig gehad het, uit die gejaag van die stad of dorpslewe. Die geriewe was nie net 5-ster nie, maar ver VER bo ons verwagting. Almal was ongelooflik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons was bevoorreg om sommer 'n lekker toertjie op die Mega-boer se plaas te kon beleef. Ek is bitter spyt ons het net een aand oorgeslaap. Ek sal enige tyd hierdie puik gastehuis aan almal aanbeveel. Baie baie dankie Hannelie en al julle mensies wat ons kuier so ongelooflik lekker gemaak het. Mens voel sommer tuis. Julle sal ons baie beslis weer sien. Let wel: Daar was nie genoeg spasie in die gasteboek om te skryf nie, want daar was net te veel om oor te sê.

Just two words: incredibly delicious!

It was breathtakingly beautiful at Mountain View Country Guest House. I was a little hesitant because it was a little outside the town of Cradock, but it was so peaceful and absolutely worth it to be able to breathe in that super fresh, clean air. It's just what we needed, out of the hustle and bustle of city or town life. The facilities were not only 5 star, but far FAR above our expectations. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. We were privileged to be able to experience a nice trick on the Mega farmer's farm. I am very sorry we only stayed one night. I would recommend this great guest house to anyone anytime. Thank you very much Hannelie and all you people who made our visit so incredibly enjoyable. You just feel at home. You will definitely see us again. Note: There was not enough space in the guest book to write because there was just too much to say about.

'n Wonderlike ervaring!

Ek kan hierdie gastehuis met absolute vrymoedigheid aanbeveel. Die vriendelikheid en gasvryheid het my onmiddellik laat tuis voel. Die kamer was pragtig en die plaas is ongelooflik mooi. Ek sal beslis weer teruggaan!

Pragtig, netjies, professioneel en skoon.

Ons was uiters warm verwelkom, al was ons bietjie laat. Die kamers was in 'n uitmuntende toestand. Die gastehuis is modern met enkele plaas-elemente. Dit het 'n netjiese kombuis met 'n binne-braai asook 'n baie lekker buite-braai. Elke oggend word die braaiplek en kombuis skoon gemaak voordat jy ontbyt ontvang. Die ontbyt is baie lekker en vars (vrugte kelkie met 'n vol engelse ontbyt of omelet). Die ontbyt is egter nie ingesluit nie en mens moet 'n ekstra R90 opdok, wat die verblyf effens duur begin maak. Ons was daar vir 'n ramveiling en ons gasheer was baie bedagsaam en het aangebied dat ons ramme in sy kraal kon oornag. Hy het ook die ramme met pille en water voorsien vir die aand. Ons het hierdie gebaar opreg waardeer. Ons het 'n ekstra gas gebring vir die 2de aand wat ons R600 gekos het plus R90 ontbyt, wat ek voel is bietjie duur. Maar afgesien van dit sal ek enige iemand aanraai om daar te oornag veral as jy ramveilings in die omtrek bywoon. Ek sal dit ook aanbeveel om eerder hier op die plaas te oornag as op die dorp self. Absolute puik diens!

Beautiful, neat, professional and clean.

We were warmly welcomed, even though we were a little late. The rooms were in excellent condition. The guest house is modern with some farm elements. It has a neat kitchen with an indoor braai as well as a very nice outdoor braai. Every morning the braai area and kitchen are cleaned before you receive breakfast. The breakfast is very tasty and fresh (fruit cup with a full English breakfast or omelette). However, the breakfast is not included and one has to pay an extra R90, which makes the stay a bit expensive. We were there for a ram auction and our host was very considerate and offered to let our rams spend the night in his pen. He also provided the rams with pills and water for the evening. We really appreciated this gesture. We brought an extra guest for the 2nd night which cost us R600 plus R90 breakfast, which I feel is a bit expensive. But apart from that I would advise anyone to spend the night there especially if you are attending ram auctions in the area. I would also recommend spending the night here on the farm rather than in the town itself. Absolutely great service!

Ons gasheer was uiters behulpsaam, die verblyf netjies en silwerskoon en die omgewing pragtig.

Hierdie plaas word deur 'n uithaler-boer bestuur. Die geriewe is netjies en die diens persoonlik en uiters vriendelik. As ons weer in dié geweste kom, sal ons graag weer daar oorslaap.

Our host was extremely helpful, the accommodation neat and clean and the surroundings beautiful.

This farm is managed by a farmer. The facilities are neat and the service personal and extremely friendly. If we come to these regions again, we will be happy to spend the night there again.
