Baie mooi en privaat. Diere is pragtig. Dit was ook vir die kinders baie oulik.

Ja. Was baie lekker. Ons bakkie het ook probleme gegee terwyl ons die plaas verken het, en die eienaars was baie oulik om ons dadelik te help en selfs die volgende dag die bakkie heeltemal uit te sorteer.

Very nice and private. Animals are beautiful. It was also very cute for the children.

Yes. Was very nice. Our bakkie also gave us problems while we were exploring the farm, and the owners were very nice to help us immediately and even sorted out the bakkie completely the next day.

Verseker die moeite werd!

Dit was 'n ongelooflike naweek. Die uitsigte, die diere en die lekker warm kaggel. Alles was perfek. Mens kan regtig net ontspan en die stilte van die plaas geniet. Het lekker rondgery met die fietse en heerlik gekuier. Sal beslis weer gaan!

Definitely worth it!

It was an incredible weekend. The views, the animals and the warm fireplace. Everything was perfect. You can really just relax and enjoy the silence of the farm. Had fun riding around with the bikes and had a great time. Will definitely go again!

Peace and quiet.

This is the place to totally relax and unwind. Breathtaking night skies and deafening silence. The early morning visits from the curious giraffe made our stay very special. The accommodation is very comfortable, and we enjoyed cooling off in the pool.

Taking the above into account, our stay was great and we would be back.

Our stay was great. The shower head should be replaced as it is broken, but my husband managed a quick fix. The shower head was completely off when we got there. The kitchen space is very small with not enough counter space to actually make food. I had to put the toaster on the bin as there was nowhere else to put it when in use. I know that this is not something that can actually be changed, but I just thought I would mention it.

Amazing! We will go back.

The cottage has everything you need for a rustic getaway, with no WiFi or TV. It was great to spend quality family time together. The animals are well cared for and come right up to the cottage fence where we took many photos and enjoyed nature. We were fortunate enough to have a full experience: heat wave, cold nights, and cool days, sunshine, cloudy day, and a spectacular lightning and thunder show.

Dis die perfekte bestemming om af te skaal en te rus.

Ons het dit baie geniet al kon ons nie die stort se warm/koue krane baas raak nie. Het die beste uitsig en ons het die hele dag op die stoep gekuier. is baie gasvry en behulpsaam.

Three-night getaway in nature.

Comfortable accommodation, lovely area, however a 4x4 vehicle is necessary if you wish to explore the whole reserve. We enjoyed the rugged off-road routes in the Hilux. Hosts were great. Thank you.

Splendid tranquility amongst animals and the mountains.

As a group we expected a little more value-added offering. For example, a starter pack of wood and blitz. For the price we paid, we expected a few small things to be available for free, such as sugar, coffee, and perhaps some tea. A few issues with the water - it looked a bit brown and the group were a bit cautious to drink it. We were forced to buy water. The scenery and the tranquility were outstanding! More can be done to the main Guest House itself. At some point, it felt a bit cramped.

Great views from the patio.

The location is idyllic, beautiful and peaceful. We had issues with hot water; being off the grid comes with challenges. Water pressure during the shower is problematic. The accommodation is suitable for 4 people; it's very tight for 6 people indoors. There's almost no counter space to prepare food. Also note, the kitchen sink is almost one metre high; if you are a short person, you may not enjoy doing dishes. There isn't a dinner table inside, but you have the view of the valley while enjoying your meal outside on the patio, come rain or shine.

Terug na die natuur.

As jy hou van eenvoud, een word met die natuur en net wil afskakel, is hierdie verblyfopsie net vir jou. Loop in die veld, aanskou die prag van renosterbos en ander skatte. Die enkele wilde diere op die reservaat is 'n bonus.

'n Heerlike wegbreek in die veld.

Ons het 'n plekkie gesoek om weg te kom, te rus en af te skakel, en Phumelela het presies gebied wat ons nodig gehad het. Die huisie was snoesig, al was dit effens koud buite. Die braai en stoep kuier lekker, met 'n pragtige uitsig op die veld en berge. Die kombuis was toegerus met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Daar is ook goeie linne op die beddens. Ag, dit was net 'n lekker afgesonderde wegbreek om weer bietjie te herlaai.

A wonderful break in the field.

We were looking for a place to get away, rest and switch off, and Phumelela provided exactly what we needed. The house was cozy, even though it was a little cold outside. The braai and stoep have a nice time, with a beautiful view of the field and mountains. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. There are also good linens on the beds. Oh, it was just a nice secluded break to recharge a bit.

Lieflike verblyf, pragtige natuur, rus vir die siel!

Die huisie is lieflik en modern gemeubileer met alles wat mens nodig het (en nog meer) in die goed ingerigte kombuis. Dit is goeie gehaltebenddens met luukse beddegoed - ons het heerlik geslaap! Daar was niks wat gekort het nie. Die natuur is pragtig en die ligging van die huisie is perfek met springbokke, elande, zebras en self die kameelperd wat binne sien afstand kom wei het. Bianca, Hennie en Charlene was altyd beskikbaar en baie behulpsaam - selfs toe ons die verkeerde afdraai links in plaas van regs gemaak het. Weereens dankie vir die hulp met ons aankoms. Dit is lekker privaat met niemand anders wat pla nie, dit was werklik kwaliteittyd vir ons om as gesin te rus en te re-connect. Ons kom weer!

Lovely stay, beautiful nature, rest for the soul!

There was nothing lacking. The nature is beautiful and the location of the cottage is perfect with springbok, moose, zebras and even the giraffe that came to graze within sight. Bianca, Hennie and Charlene were always available and very helpful - even when we made the wrong turn left instead of right. Thanks again for the help with our arrival. It's nice and private with no one else bothering, it was really quality time for us to rest and re-connect as a family. We come again!

Uitstekende rustige blyplek met uitsigte om oor boeke te skryf.

Die naweek was net wat die dokter voorgeksryf het. Rustigheid, plaaslewe, blomme so ver as wat mens kyk, KolKol-warmbad wat mens net laat ontspan. Huis is ingerig ook vir kinders en die bestuur was amazing en altyd daar as mens hulp benodig. Heerlik geslaap en glad nie koud gekry of ongemaklik gevoel nie. Enige iemand se droom naweek. Ons sal weer 'n draai maak.

We will visit again.

Die weer was bitter koud, Phumelela het gelukkig vir ons 'n gasverwarmer voorsien.

Die beddens slaap lekker warm en gemaklik. Gas geyser sit buite en het heeltyd doodgeblaas in die wind en reën. Verder was dit heel aangenaam, net bitter yskoud. Ek sal beslis 'n binne-houtkaggel aanbeveel, sowel as gordyne en matte in al die kamers in winter spesifiek!

The weather was bitterly cold, luckily Phumelela provided us with a gas heater.

The beds sleep nice and warm and comfortable. Gas geyser sits outside and kept blowing to death in the wind and rain. Other than that it was very pleasant, just bitterly cold. I would definitely recommend an indoor wood burning stove as well as curtains and carpets in all the rooms in winter specifically!

Phumelela Game Farm 's response

Beste Yolanda

Baie dankie vir jou terugvoer rakende jul ervaring by Phumelela.

Dit is vir ons belangrik om die insette van ons gaste te kry om voortdurend te verbeter. Ons het 'n beskerming rondom die gas geyser gemaak wat die probleem wat met wind ondervind word te vermy. Gister is 'n kaggel ook geïnstalleer en ons hoop jul volgende kuier sal lekker warm wees.

Vir die warm somer dae wat kom het ons ook 'n plan in wording.

Weereens dankie vir jul terugvoer, ons waardeer.
