Stunning & convenient location.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would come again. The property is stunning, well maintained and the perfect place to relax with a good book. It is also conveniently located between the main attractions in Oudtshoorn. We loved meeting and interacting with the many dogs and other animals on the property too. The staff were friendly and helpful, and a very early checkout was easily arranged, which was great. Our only concern was the door to our cabin (#4, Peace), which did not feel very secure. Although it did not dampen our stay, and we do believe the property to be safe, if you're very concerned about your safety, this may prove problematic for you. Other than this, we were very happy with the cabin itself. It is well-equipped and clean, with good water pressure for the shower and comfortable beds. I would say the highlight of this property is not the cabins though, but the outside. It is beautifully landscaped, with a rolling green lawn, places to sit and enjoy the sights and sounds, a hiking route to some river pools, and a river running in front of the cabins. It is incredibly scenic and peaceful, and we'd love to stay again just to relax on the property and enjoy the views.

Waarlik 'kinder- en dierevriendelik'.

Die omgewing is rustig en ontspannend. Een van die min gastehuise wat waarlik 'kinder- en diere vriendelik' is. Ons kinders het die buite speel ('n welkome ruskans van tegnologie) en die gastehuis se honde vreeslik baie geniet. Ons sien uit na ons volgende kuier by Ou Tol.

Truly 'child and animal friendly'.

The environment is peaceful and relaxing. One of the few guesthouses that is truly 'child and animal friendly'. Our children really enjoyed playing outside (a welcome break from technology) and the guest house's dogs. We look forward to our next visit to Old Tol.

Wittebrood.

Ons het die naweek oorgeslaap met ons wittebrood, ons is baie tevrede met die perseel, dit was skoon, veilig en al die troeteldiere was vriendelik. Ons het op die kanos gery en heerlik in die borrelbad gerus.

Dit was absoluut fantasties.

Die ontvangs was goed alhoewel die eienaar nie daar was nie, die ontvangspersone het ons baie goed verwelkom en tuis laat voel. Die enigste teleurstelling was dat ons nie die braai- of ontbyt-pakkette kon bestel nie omdat die eienaar/bestuur nie daar was nie. Die omgewing is baie mooi met die rivier daar. Ek sal ook net wil se dat die bestuur daarop moet let om die terrein skoon te hou van die diere se mis andersins sal ek beslis in die toekoms weer daar bespreek om in Nr. 2 te kan bly.

It was absolutely fantastic.

The reception was good even though the owner was not there, the receptionists welcomed us very well and made us feel at home. The only disappointment was that we could not order the barbecue or breakfast packages because the owner/management was not there. The environment is very beautiful with the river there. I would also just like to say that the management should take care to keep the site clean of the animals' manure, otherwise I will definitely book there again in the future to stay in Nr. 2 to be able to stay.

Baie mooi en heerlik gebly daar.

Het dadelik tuis gevoel. Ontvangs was baie goed. Braaipakke en hout was aangebied teen 'n baie goeie prys en dit was lekker om op die veranda te sit en koffie te drink en te wag vir die vuur om uit te brand. Om die volgende oggend wakker te word met die geruis van water wat oor die klippe vloei en 'n haan wat vroegoggend kraai, was wonderlik. Baie dankie, het dit baie geniet.

Felt at home immediately. Reception was very good. Barbecues and wood were offered at a very good price and it was nice to sit on the veranda and drink coffee and wait for the fire to burn out. Waking up the next morning to the sound of water flowing over the rocks and a rooster crowing early in the morning was wonderful. Thank you very much, enjoyed it very much.

Ideale plek om rustig te ontspan en bietjie van die mooi natuur te beleef.

Heerlik gekuier en weg van die stad se gewoel. Blyplek skoon en netjies met al die basiese benodighede vir jou naweekkuier. Die natuur in die omgewing is pragtig en waarlik n plek om jou battery te laai. Klein bietjie geraas ondervind in namiddag weens die onderhoud op die Chalets - rus verstorend.

Great time and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Accommodation clean and tidy with all the basic necessities for your weekend visit. The nature in the area is beautiful and truly a place to charge your battery. Small bit of noise experienced in the afternoon due to the maintenance on the Chalets - disturbing rest.

Paradise!

This is the perfect family holiday. It's a haven for children, or even a romantic getaway. Rolling green lawns, a play area, swimming pool and the river "pool". I would bring aqua shoes for the river as you need to walk over rocks to get in the water. There are tubes to float down the river. It's peaceful and relaxing. The accommodation is lovely and has everything you need. Beds might need new mattresses. We didn't want to leave. The 8 dogs on the property are all friendly and love kids. This place is a true gem.

Wonderlike plek om te ontspan en die kinders het dit ook baie geniet.

Die foto's op die web mislei mens nie - dis regtig so lekker en mooi soos dit lyk! Daar is ook soveel vir die kinders om te doen en dis veilig en stil en die aircon 'n bonus. Baie in ons skik met ons keuse van blyplek en sal beslis weer daar bly as ons in daardie rigting gaan. Volgende keer vat ek 'n lekker boek om in die hangmatte te lees!

Goeie dag Michael

Soos gister bespreek met jou telefonies was julle bewus van die water probleem as gevolg van die vloed wat ons die vorige dag gehad het.

Die water was wel bruin en vuil, maar dit is iets wat buite ons beheer was en dit was aan julle genoem met inboek dat ons tans met die probleem sit en die hele Oudtshoorn en gedeeltes daarmee geaffekteer word. Lees gerus die berig in die Oudtshoorn Courant - http://www.oudtshoorncourant.com/news/News/General/186812/Oudtshoorn-water-update.

Ons water is tans meer gestabiliseer en nie meer so vuil nie, maar die Munisipaliteit en Water Wese is tans besig om na opsies te kyk indien so iets ooit weer sou gebeur.

Ek is bly julle kon darem die positief sien van ons skoon netjiese eenhede, alles wat binne ons beheer is streef ons om vir ons gaste net die beste te gee, maar die water was nou een van die dinge wat ons ongelukkig nie iets aan kon doen nie.

Ons hoop om julle weer in die toekoms te verwelkom,

Vriendelike groete
Mariska

Baie lekker gebly en die rustigheid geniet. Die eenhede is baie lekker ingerig en toegerus. Stort is effens ongemaklik, dit is of stomend warm of yskoud. Gesukkel om die water temperatuur reggestel te kry, maar verder was dit heerlik en sal weer enige tyd gaan oornag daar.

Daar was nie warm water nie, dink die gas in die gasbottel was klaar. Baie mooi uitsig en die plek is bly lekker.

Beautiful sound of water.

There was no hot water, think the gas in the gas bottle was finished. Very nice view and the place is nice.

Die bestuurder (dame) was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Baie netjies en lekker rustig. Die klein dinge soos blomme en snacks was wonderlik en spesiaal.

Bespreek vir drie nagte, maar kon net twee nagte daar bly.

Dit is die pragtigste plek, reg langs 'n rivier. Die dag wat ons ingeklok het, was die dame baie vriendelik, maar sy het net vir ons die deur oopgesluit en toe weer geloop. Nie eens ingekom om te kyk of alles werk nie. Daardie nag was seker die koudste nag in my lewe. Die cabin was glad nie geïsoleer nie. Die ventelasiegate was heeltemal oop, net stukkie gaas oor. Die voordeur het nie heeltemal geseël nie. Ek kon my duim tussen die bo- en onder-deur indruk so groot was die gaping. My arme kind het reg voor hierdie deur geslaap. Die verwarmer het ook nie gewerk nie. Die volgende oggend was ek en my man vroeg op om 'n lekker warm stort te vat sodat ons kan "ontdooi". Die geiser het nie gewerk nie en ons albei moes tevrede wees met 'n koue stort. Ons het dit alles aangemeld by die bestuurder en daardie aand was die verwarmer wat net batterye nodig gehad het reg. Die stort se warm water was ook reg en hulle het selfs 'n elektriese kombers gaan koop vir die nag se koue. Daardie nag kon ons darem beter slaap. Ongelukkig kon hulle nie veel doen aan die koue wind wat tussen die houtbalke deurgewaai het nie. Ek en my man het toe maar besluit om eerder huis toe te gaan as om nog 'n nag in so 'n koue plek te bly. Ek wil net noem dat hulle met die uitklok-slag aan ons genoem het dat die plek geïsoleer gaan word. Ek hoop van harte so, want ek dink dit is 'n baie oulike plek en sal dit regtig aanbeveel by enigiemand wat in die somer wil gaan. Ek dink dit sal 'n heerlike bestemming wees, so rustig langs die rivier.

Booked for three nights but could only stay two nights.

It is the most beautiful place, right next to a river. The day we checked in, the lady was very friendly, but she just unlocked the door for us and then walked away. Didn't even come in to check if everything was working. That night was probably the coldest night of my life. The cabin was not insulated at all. The vent holes were completely open, only a piece of mesh remained. The front door did not seal completely. I could squeeze my thumb between the top and bottom door so big was the gap. My poor child was sleeping right in front of this door. The heater didn't work either. The next morning my husband and I were up early to take a nice hot shower so we could "defrost". The geyser didn't work and we both had to settle for a cold shower. We reported all this to the manager and that night the heater which only needed batteries was fine. The shower's hot water was also fine and they even bought an electric blanket for the night's cold. At least we could sleep better that night. Unfortunately, they couldn't do much about the cold wind that blew through the wooden beams. My husband and I then decided to go home rather than stay another night in such a cold place. I just want to mention that at check-out they mentioned to us that the place was going to be isolated. I really hope so because I think it's a really cool place and would really recommend it to anyone who wants to go in the summer. I think it would be a lovely destination, so peaceful by the river.

Pragtige ligging en ideaal om die Swartberg te verken met motorfietse.

Oulike verblyf vir gesin met klein kindertjies.

Die huisies is oulik, ongelukkig net nie heeltemal skoon nie. Hulle was egter meer as bereid om ons te skuif na 'n ander huisie. Baie rustig en die rivier en tuine is pragtig. Gemakliker sitplek op die stoep sal 'n groot verskil maak. Die harde houtbankies verleen hul nie daartoe dat jy lekker kan ontspan nie. Vriendelike ontvangs. Nie 'n plek vir romantiese wegbreek nie, maar oulik vir 'n gesin met kinders.

Cute accommodation for family with small children.

The houses are cute, unfortunately just not completely clean. However, they were more than willing to move us to another cottage. Very peaceful and the river and gardens are beautiful. More comfortable seating on the porch will make a big difference. The hard wooden benches do not allow you to relax. Friendly reception. Not a place for romantic getaways, but cute for a family with kids.
