Als was nice as always.
I'm just dissatisfied with the fact that we ask if the wasps have been sorted out, then they say yes, but when we get there they fly all over the house and the nests can be seen under the roof on the porch.

Not what was expected.
Dilapidated furniture, floors dirty, wood not pre-sited, kitchenware broken and inadequate, stairs unsafe, road very bad. No animals, definitely not value for my money. Place not up to standard as expected from such accommodation.

Ons Boshuisie 's response
Goeie dag. So jammer jy het so gevoel. Ek was verskeie kere daar by julle en julle het elke keer gesê daar is geen klagtes nie.
Daar is wild hulle loop nie noodwendig Om die huis nie.
Ons is glad nie duur nie en die pad word bespreek dat dit nie mooi is nie.
Daar is geen ondeursigtigheid nie.
Almal Hou nie van natuur nie. En dit is okay ons is nie almal dieselfde nie.

Die Boshuisie is 'n versteekte juweel. Afgeleë, doodstil en in die pragtige natuur van die bosveld. Rus en vrede vir die siel.

The Boshuisie is a hidden gem. Remote, dead quiet and in the beautiful nature of the woodland. Rest and peace for the soul.
The evening twilight from the deck was so beautiful. The braailapa asks for hours of campfire time. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to discover all the nice things at the dam. Rosette is a friendly, enthusiastic and extremely helpful hostess. She offered for us to leave the car at her house and for her to take us down the dirt road to Boshuisie, but we believed we would make it. The last bit was then quite rougher than we expected, but she was willing to drive our vehicle out for us the next morning. My mother also forgot her cane there, and she was more than willing to help us with shipping the package. Thanks for everything, Rosette.

It was a wonderful weekend in the beautiful nature with beautiful sunrises in the morning.
The place is very well located, away from everyone with more than enough of your own privacy. You can enjoy walking everywhere on the farm without feeling scared.

It was a wonderful nature-quiet environment where we could rediscover ourselves and rest
We walked on the hiking trail and admired the nature, with different trees and plants. The little pond was also a big plus and was also wonderfully peaceful with all the bird sounds around us. The donkey in which we had to make a fire made us think back to our childhood. One needs it to just get quiet again without busy streets and street lights and only nature! Our Boshuisie is perfectly located in the middle of the forest and can be recommended for sure, if you like nature and seek silence.

Dogs' antics were all that disturbed the tranquility.
I needed a few days of peace, quiet and isolation and that's exactly what I found. Seeing the dogs enjoying the woodland and the pond just made it more special. Everything was spotless and the house was comfortably furnished. The only pity was that I didn't have a camera handy to capture the dogs' consternation when they rushed down the pond and found a (tame and patient) Waterbuck in their swimming spot! Rosette's kindness is genuine and her patience when my city-girl side got the better of me has my deepest appreciation and gratitude.

Our wheel burst on the way to the destination. The owner quickly stepped in and helped. The accommodation is incomparable. And the fact that dogs are welcome is fantastic! They especially enjoyed swimming in the pond.

Our Boshuisie is a lovely place where you can find your soul again. I stayed there as a woman alone with my three dogs, and never felt unsafe. The dogs could run around freely and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rosette, thanks so much for you hospitality! We really enjoyed it and we will definitely be back! It was quiet and peaceful. The little house is beautiful and equipped with everything you need! What a wonderful experience to just light the donkey boiler for hot water! We also had a great time around the fire!

We had a wonderful stay in the forest cottage. The silence, animals and nature were incredible. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries. The fact that we had to make a fire for hot water and cook outside was something else and we enjoyed it. I only gave the location 3 stars for the fact that you need a 4x4 to get to the bush house. We will definitely go again.

Our stay was a big disappointment.
The price was very reasonable and because our family took there with dogs, I decided on the "deserted" place. The pictures look beautiful! The reviews I read were surprisingly good and I thought it was too good to be true! The place is shockingly dirty and neglected. The gas fridge did not work properly so it was difficult to keep food cold. It's been raining incredibly (which we're not complaining about), but I assume the thatched roof hasn't been "checked" in a long time. It rained in a few places a.o. on our bed upstairs in the loft. The bed is fixed in the ground, so we couldn't do anything about the wet bed. Our hostess told me on our arrival that they would go to Potchefstroom for Christmas, but only for the day. It didn't bother me at all then. On Christmas Eve at 19:00 we realized we had no water. I texted our hostess and asked them to please. come help She let it be known that they would come to help early the next morning (said hope it was OK). How can it be OK when we are 6 adults and a teenager who needs the bathroom (while it is still raining non-stop and we are just sitting in the cottage.) The next morning the farm worker was there and we heard that our hosts are still in Potchefstroom with their family. It wouldn't have bothered me, but if you leave guests alone on your farm, you must be 100% sure that everything is in order and have a backup plan if something happens while you are away. He could not find the fault and after much speculation as to what was actually wrong, he suspected that a new pump would have to be bought. I wonder if there would have been water that night. My husband and I wanted to "treat" our parents with the getaway, but not having water was a big problem for 7 people! I let the hostess know that I wanted to pick up my car because we would rather go home. (On our arrival I left my car at her house over the inhospitable road to the Boshuisie). Seeing that they were still in Potch and had to make arrangements with her father-in-law to come and unlock their yard, we had to wait a very long time to get my car. When I spoke to her about coming to collect my car, she bluntly said that the farm worker was then busy with the fault, but apparently did not know that it would not be able to be repaired so quickly. I got the impression that our leaving a day earlier than booked didn't bother her terribly. We have already paid in full for three nights' accommodation. I feel she should have made it clear that the place was not available around Christmas because they wouldn't be home themselves! They are not responsible for the rain, but they are for the condition of our "facilities"! I think anyone who wants to get away for a bit would rather pay more for a simple, neat little place that is maintained. Boshuisie definitely has potential because it is so secluded and the surroundings are so beautiful! I regret that I fell for the few good reviews and decided to go and see for myself in the future (if possible) before booking a place!

Fantastic getaway cottage in the heart of the forest.
We had a very nice family weekend at our Boshuisie, the house is fully equipped with a very peaceful atmosphere. We sat outside by the fire late into the evening talking and for the first time ever, there was enough hot water for eight people to shower on each other. If you want to get away for a bit and spend time with friends and family in nature, Ons Boshuisie is really the ideal place. Talitha and her whole family were very friendly and immediately made us feel at home. Thanks for a fantastic weekend!
