A beautifully quiet place to stay.

There seems to be a lot to do in the area. We were looking for a quiet place to overnight on the way back to Johannesburg. A little way off the main route. This is a beautiful part of the Northern Cape.

Bietjie ver om te ry, maar die moeite werd vir die stilte en prag.

Ons was die enigste gaste en dit het soos in die paradys gevoel. Geen ligbesoedeling en ons kon die komeet C2023 sien, onvergeetlik. Veral die kok was entoesiasties, al moes sy net vir ons kook. Die kamer en badkamer was groot en luuks.

A little far to drive, but worth it for the quiet and beauty.

We were the only guests and it felt like paradise. No light pollution and we could see comet C2023, unforgettable. The cook in particular was enthusiastic, even though she only had to cook for us. The room and bathroom were large and luxurious.

Otterskloof is vir jagters.

Goeie verblyf vir jagters, maar nie vir gewone reisigers nie. Kamers klein en bymekaar met geen uitsig nie. Kan baie meer luukse verblyf kry vir dieselfde prys op ander plekke (ongelukkig nie in Philippolis nie).

Otterskloof is for hunters.

Good accommodation for hunters, but not for ordinary travellers. Rooms small and crowded with no view. Can get much more luxurious accommodation for the same price in other places (unfortunately not in Philippolis).

We had an unpleasant incident with the bill, charged us more when we were leaving on accommodation and blamed LekkeSlaap.

Lovely venue, peaceful, seems new. Dinner was a set menu which is a challenge if you don't know that, and a little pricey.

Not what I was expecting, self-catering unit had no images.

Place looked amazing but the self-catering unit was horrible and had to pay the same price. Toilet leaking and I was told over the phone that breakfast was included when I have to pay the total amounted to R2600 for 1 night stay, dinner and breakfast, what a ripoff.

Wat 'n fonds.

Otterskloof is nie op die N1 nie, maar voeg so uur of wat by jou rit vanaf die Kaap na Gauteng. Maar absoluut die moeite werd. Soveel lekkerder as net nog 'n B&B op die N1.

Otterskloof is not on the N1, but adds an hour or so to your drive from the Cape to Gauteng. But absolutely worth it. So much nicer than just another B&B on the N1.

Fantastic stay from beginning to end!

The moment we arrived, we were welcomed by friendly staff with refreshments and hot towels to re-energise ourselves. We were personally shown our room and where we would be having dinner and breakfast. We were asked when we would like breakfast to be served in accordance to our travel schedule. The admin and payment process at the end of our stay was simple and seamless. Staff were always well-presented, well-mannered and helpful.

So so mooi! Voorwaar 5-ster-akkommodasie!

Ek wil jul graag net bedank vir die opgradering wat jul vir ons gegee het, dit was glad nie nodig nie, maar word baie waardeer! Otterskloof is 'n baie spesiale plek, ons het heerlik daar gebly en jul het 'n wenresep daar beet. Alles was perfek van die warm verwelkom tot die mooi kamers en wonderlike beddegoed en styfgerolde handdoeke! Die kamers is goed uiteengesit en het alles en meer wat jy nodig het, asook pragtig versier. Jul personeel is tops en het die ekstra myl vir ons gegaan met die kinders. (Waar kry mens dit nog dat iemand die vuur vir jou aansteek) Dit was voorwaar 'n wonderlike bederf en ons het lekker ontspan by julle. Die heerlike grasperk onder die bome, speelarea en swembad was voorwaar 'n bonus. Dankie vir jul wonderlike gasvryheid!

So so beautiful! Truly 5 star accommodation!

I just want to thank you for the upgrade you gave us, it wasn't necessary at all, but much appreciated! Otterskloof is a very special place, we had a wonderful stay there and you have a winning recipe there. Everything was perfect from the warm welcome to the beautiful rooms and wonderful bedding and tightly rolled towels! The rooms are well laid out and have everything and more you need, as well as being beautifully decorated. Your staff are top notch and went the extra mile for us with the children. (Where else do you get someone to light the fire for you) It was truly a wonderful treat and we had a great time relaxing with you. The lovely lawn under the trees, play area and swimming pool were truly a bonus. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!

Baie bedagsame en hulpvaardige personeel, maar die foto's is beter as die plek self.

Dit was ook adverteer met 'n braaiplek en klein kombuis wat ons eenheid toe nie gehad het nie. Die personeel het ons mooi gehelp met 'n kamer toe ons op die laaste minuut ons datums moes verander. Vreeslik vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons het braaivleis gekoop, omdat die advertensie gesê het ons het 'n braaiplek en kombuis, maar dit was toe nie die geval nie. Mooi uitsig en lekker swembad, maar ek het so bietjie meer verwag.

It was also advertised with a braai and small kitchen that our unit didn't have. The staff helped us with a room when we had to change our dates at the last minute. Very friendly and helpful. We bought braaivleis because the advertisement said we had a braai and kitchen, but that was not the case. Nice view and nice pool, but I expected so much more.

Buitengewone luukse verblyf op 'n wildsplaas.

Otterskloof Private Game Reserve verskaf besondere luukse en ruim kamers, hartlike ontvangs en regtig uitstekende kos. Daar is geleentheid om lekker te kan stap op die plaas en troeteldiere is ook welkom. Reisigers moet net kennis neem dat dit 'n redelike draai is wat gery moet word om op die plaas uit te kom. Alhoewel dit 'n uitstekende grondpad is, is dit ongeveer 25 km uit die dorp. Dit sal goed wees as die plaas op die webwerf as 'n jagplaas beskryf word en nie as 'n natuurreservaat nie. Vars melk in plaas van Cremora in die kamer sal ook welkom wees. Daar is baie beperkte selfoonontvangs en WiFi beskikbaar.

Extraordinary luxury accommodation on a game farm.

Otterskloof Private Game Reserve provides exceptionally luxurious and spacious rooms, a warm welcome and really excellent food. There is an opportunity to enjoy a walk on the farm and pets are also welcome. Travelers should just note that it is quite a detour to get to the farm. Although it is an excellent dirt road, it is about 25 km out of town. It would be good if the farm was described on the website as a hunting farm and not as a nature reserve. Fresh milk instead of Cremora in the room would also be welcome. There is very limited cell phone reception and WiFi available.

Asemrowende, vreugdevolle, geseënde tyd!

As 'n ouer met klein kindertjies is dit baie moeilik om 'n plekkies te kry waar ek as ouer ook kan ontspan en nie die hele tyd agter my kinders moet aan hardloop en raas nie! Hierdie is 'n plek waar ons as ouers kon ontspan en rustig verkeer terwyl ons oor die skone vlaktes kon uitkyk en die stilte kon geniet! Die kos was heerlik en die diens wat wonderlik! Almal met wie ons te doen gehad het, was vriendelik en behulpsaam! Hulle het my kinders so mooi hanteer en welkom laat voel! Ons sal Ottterskloof definitief weer sien en het alreeds dit aanbeveel vir familie en vriende! Ons voel skoon geseënd na ons kuier daar!

Breathtaking, joyful, blessed time!

As a parent with small children, it is very difficult to find places where I, as a parent, can also relax and not have to run and shout after my children all the time! This is a place where we as parents could relax and have a peaceful time while looking out over the beautiful plains and enjoying the silence! The food was delicious and the service wonderful! Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful! They treated my children so well and made me feel welcome!

Het heerlik gekuier en gerus.

Het heerlik gekuier en oornag gerus tydens ons reis van Kaapstad na Pretoria. Was effens ver van die N1 af vir 'n oornag bestemming, maar het die diens en geriewe uitstekend gevind.

Really relaxed and enjoyed the stay.

Really enjoyed the overnight stay during our journey from Cape Town to Pretoria. It's a bit far from the N1 for a overnight destination, but the service and facilities are excellent.

Hi Christelle
Baie dankie vir die terugvoer, dit is 'n riem onder die hart om te hoor dat julle dit geniet het. Ek hoop om julle weer Desember te sien. Interessant genoeg is die ompad net 55.8 km langer (Colesberg-Otterskloof-Trompsburg teenoor Colesberg-Trompsburg. Dit het altyd vir my verder gevoel. Voorspoed vir 2017 en kontak ons gerus weer, dit was 'n voorreg om julle op die plaas te ontvang
Vriendelike groete

Dit het gevoel of ons by 'n oase aankom.

Pragtige plek. Ons is aangenaam verras met die kwaliteit van die verblyf.

Heerlike kos, voortreflike gasvryheid, pragtige natuurskoon.

Ons het drie nagte gebly by Otterskloof op pad na die kus. Die personeel was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die natuurskoon verruklik, ten spyte van die droogte en die akkommodasie baie keurig. Ons sal beslis weer besoek.

Delicious food, wonderful hospitality, beautiful nature.

We stayed 3 nights at Otterskloof on our way to the coast. Friendly, helpful staff. Breathtaking nature, despite the drought. Exquisite accommodation. We will definitely be back.

Hi Arnold,
Dit het gereën en ons is almal baie opgewonde om die plaas weer op sy mooiste te sien en te ervaar. Baie dankie vir die tyd wat jy geneem het om die terugvoer te gee, dit is vir ons 'n voorreg om die natuurskoon met julle te deel en niks maak dit meer die moeite werd as 'n heerlike bord kos nie.
Ons sien daarna uit om julle weer te sien.
Groete,

Hi Johan,
Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ons is bevoorreg om in so 'n mooi deel van ons land te mag werk. Dit is met 'n dankbare hart wat ons kan sê dit het gereën. Tot en met die sewende het ons so 20 mm gehad en ons kan nie wag dat die velde moet groen skyn van die gras wat groei nie. Ons hoop nog vir opvolg reën en dat die plaas op sy mooiste sal wees wanneer ons julle weer sien.
Vriendelike groete,
Marida

Rustige verblyf op 'n privaat wildreservaat.

Dit het aan ons behoeftes voldoen, naamlik rustige verblyf in die natuur. Ons moes egter wag vir ons kamer (na die aangeduide aankomstyd). Die vlieë tydens etes was geweldig lastig. Ek persoonlik reken ook die bedrag wat betaal moet word om wild in jou eie motor te gaan besigtig, is te duur, gegewe die koste vir die verblyf.

Peaceful accommodation on a private game reserve.

It met our needs, namely a peaceful stay in nature. However, we had to wait for our room (after the indicated arrival time). The flies during meals were extremely troublesome. I also personally think that the amount that has to be paid to go and see wildlife in your own car is too expensive, given the cost of the accommodation.

Baie rustig op die plaas, weg van die woelige pad.

Baie gerieflike verblyf vir oornag of jagtoere. Nie ver uit die pad (N1) nie en met 'n skoon swembad om in af te koel.

Gerieflik met lekker kos en pragtige landskap!

Die kamers is mooi en gerieflik. Die aandetes is meestal wildsvleis en baie lekker. Die wildroetes is die moeite werd - het self gery en renosters gesien en 'n trop van omtrent 30 kameelperde. Landskap is mooi. Het 'n ekstra dag geboek nadat ons gesien het dis lekker hier, maar is ook gerieflik as 'n halfpad-stop op pad na die Kaap.

Comfortable with good food and beautiful scenery!

The rooms are nice and comfortable. The dinners are mostly venison and very tasty. The game drives are worth it - drove myself and saw rhinos and a herd of about 30 giraffes. Landscape is beautiful. Booked an extra day after we saw it was nice here, but also convenient as a half way stop on the way to the Cape.
