Enjoyable and interesting.

Our hosts went out of their way to make us feel welcome, without encroaching on our privacy. The property is secure and we could park our car in the shade under this huge oak tree. They have collected a vast array of historical items and memorabilia from across South Africa, which would make a museum proud. Quaint and interesting.

Baie rustige en veilige atmosfeer.

Met die vreeslike reën kon ons nie veel doen of rondry nie. Gelukkig vir DSTV kon ons die tyd verdryf. Die eienaars is ongelooflik vriendelik. Ons kon op die erf rondloop en foto's neem (het toestemming gevra). Baie netjies en skoon.

Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring om by hartsmense te kon oornag. Absolute awesome plek.

Outpost was 'n 1 uit 'n 1000 ondervinding. Die interessante en nostalgiese uitbeelding van toetentyd moet elke mens ervaar en die eienaars deel graag hul versameling met jou. Eienaars baie besorg oor hul gaste. Hoogs aanbevole.

Jammer oor die ongerief. Ek is seker dat ek genoem het dat WiFi internet in ons omgewing baie wisselvallig is. Ek hoop toekomstige voornemende gaste sal vra vir 'n braaipan wat ons wel beskikbaar het. Dankie in elk geval.

Uitleg van woonplek prakties met 'n speelse kinkel, kleurvolle dekoritems, voëlgesang afgewissel met stilte is lafenis vir die siel.

Baie klein en beknop.

Die plekkie is netjies en skoon. Gasvrye eienaars. Hordes memorabilia uit die verlede wat 'n ervaring is. Gratis Wifi is in die advertensie wat nie die werklikheid is nie. Beide ek en my vrou het onder 'n yskoue stort beland nadat dit aan die begin warm was. Ons moes 2 keer bel sodat die gasheer die gasgeiser kon regstel en die ervaring was onaangenaam veral omdat beurtkrag 8 vm begin het en ons vroeër opgestaan het vir stort en warm koffie! Die handewasbak van die badkamer is in die kombuisgedeelte wat dit nog kleiner maak en dis moeilik om aan tafel te eet weens die beperkte ruimte. Etes kan nie daar voorberei word nie, daar is slegs 'n mikrogolfoond wat bo-op die yskas staan. Vir mense wat net wil oorslaap sal ek Outpost aanbeveel.

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

Very small and cramped.

The place is neat and clean. Hospitable owners. Hordes of memorabilia from the past that is an experience. Free Wifi is in the advertisement which is not the reality. Both my wife and I ended up under a freezing cold shower after it was warm to begin with. We had to call 2 times so that the host could fix the gas geyser and the experience was unpleasant especially because load shedding started at 8 am and we got up earlier for shower and hot coffee! The bathroom sink is in the kitchen area which makes it even smaller and it is difficult to eat at the table due to the limited space. Meals cannot be prepared there, there is only a microwave on top of the fridge. For people who just want to sleep over I would recommend Outpost.

Moet-oorblypkek in Heidelberg!

Ons is hartlik verwelkom deur Riaan en Josie. Hulle het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf aangenaam en interessant te maak. Die eenheid is toegerus met alles wat mens sou nodig kry en baie ekstra wat mens nie op ander plekke kry nie. Ons sal nie weer deur Heidelberg ry sonder om daar oor te bly nie. Hulle verdien vir seker 12 uit 10. Baie dankie Riaan en Josie!

Gerieflike, troeteldiervriendelike verblyf.

Fantastiese kommunikasie voor en tydens my verblyf. Ek het troeteldiere op reis gehad saam met my terwyl ek by die jaarlikse Groot Pampoenfees uitgestal het. Die gasvrou, Josie was so gaaf om vir my foto's te stuur van die tweetjies terwyl hul op my gewag het. Lugversorging, DStv-pakket en selfs beskuit! Lekker koel en veilige parkeerplek uit die oog. Elke bordjie, pomp en padteken vertel 'n storie - gaan geniet die reis!

Every sign, pump and road sign tells a story - go and enjoy the journey!

Dit is die gaafste eienaars wat ek nog ontmoet het. Hulle kan nie genoeg doen om jou tuis te laat voel nie en gaan uit hulle pad uit om seker te maak alles is in orde en gemaklik en in plek.

My kuier was aangenaam. Ek het 'n lang kuier gehad, want ek was in Heidelberg vir werk. Ek was bederf deur allerhande tuisgebak (wat nie deel van die pakket was nie) en die eienaars het kort-kort sekergemaak dat alles in plek is en dat ek alles het wat nodig is. Hulle het sekergemaak my voertuig is veilig en in die koelte parkeer. Die kamer het lugversorging en is uiters skoon. Ek sal die akkommodasie aanbeveel vir enige iemand. Dit is 'n unieke ervaring om so terug te gaan en nostalgie ook te beleef met al die ou herinneringe van die verlede (indien jy van die ouer generasie is).

These are the nicest owners I have ever met. They can't do enough to make you feel at home and go out of their way to make sure everything is in order and comfortable and in place.

My visit was pleasant. I had a long visit because I was in Heidelberg for work. I was spoiled by all kinds of home baked goods (which were not part of the package) and the owners made sure every now and then that everything was in place and that I had everything I needed. They made sure my vehicle was safe and parked in the cool. The room has air conditioning and is extremely clean. I would recommend the accommodation to anyone. It is a unique experience to go back like this and also experience nostalgia with all the old memories of the past (if you are from the older generation).

Byna onmoontlik om die ervaring te beskryf - dit voel letterlik asof jy iewers tussen 'n padlangs-vulstasie en museum uit die verre verlede oornag. Wonderlik, met die mees gasvrye gasheer en dame denkbaar! Perfekte oornagplek. Sal sonder huiwering aanbeveel.
