Peace and space.

Secluded, quiet (well, except for the odd cow moo). Spectacular surrounds to climb and hike. Good WiFi too. Just nice!

Wonderful hosts and the perfect spot for a tranquil escape and close to Rhodes.

We loved our time at DenHagen. We experienced living from yesteryear with all modern conveniences. The games room / communal building is very practical and lends itself to group assemblies for meals, TV chats, and kids' games if the weather is bad or just sommer. We were shown the other accommodation options which suit all sizes of family groups, but we had an affinity for 'The Stables'. Lovely views of the mountains and absolute serenity and silence. It's the perfect getaway. Thank you Judy.

Die eienaars buig agteroor om te sorg dat alles reg is.

Die eenheid spreek van sorg en is goed toegerus. Kan met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel. Die omgewing is prentjiesmooi.

Comfortable.

Very comfortable and our host was most accommodating. Not knowing the safety situation on remote farms in that area, we were a little concerned about security. Not much of a view, but we enjoyed it nevertheless.

Fantastiese omgewing met puik diens van die eienaars wat in Rhodes bly.

Moet nie modern verwag nie, alles is oud en met reg so siende die plaashuis is ver oor 'n 100 jaar oud, maar baie skoon en die beddens is fantasties met lekker vuurmaakplekke.

Fantastic setting with great service from the owners who live in Rhodes.

Don't expect modern, everything is old and rightly so seeing as the farmhouse is well over 100 years old, but very clean and the beds are fantastic with nice fire places.

Die eienaars het uit hulle pad gegaan om die verblyf vir ons aangenaam te maak en heeltyd op hoogte gehou van aktiwiteite in die omgewing. Pragtige uitsigte.

Rus en vrede.

Perfekte plek om weg te kom van die gejaag van die lewe en tegnologie. Word in die oggend wakker met die geluide van plaasdiere. Op die voorstoep van ongelooflike berge. Sal vir seker teruggaan in die winter wanneer die sneeu dik lê op die berge.

Rest and peace.

Perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and technology. Wake up in the morning to the sounds of farm animals. On the doorstep of incredible mountains. Will definitely go back in the winter when the snow is thick on the mountains.

Cosy cottage with welcoming hosts.

Perfect place to explore the area. Judy and Roger are really great hosts. The cottage is a perfect base to retreat after exploring the mountains in the wintery conditions. Super bath, warm fireplace and all amenities you may need. Definitely will be back.

Rhodes is a very interesting stop-over.

Den Hagen itself is a bit out of town on a reasonable road, but get in contact with the owner to get detailed directions before you go to the farm. The scenery around the area is spectacular.

Rustige atmosfeer.

Die huis is pragtig outyds. Vanaf die stoep het mens 'n wonderlike uitsig oor die berge. Die rivier is ook 'n pluspunt. Een nag se verblyf doen nie geregtigheid aan Rhodes nie. Onthou net daar is nie winkels of vulstasies nie - so tref voorsorg.

Calm atmosphere.

The house is beautifully old fashioned. From the porch you have a wonderful view of the mountains. The river is also a plus. One night's stay does not do Rhodes justice. Just remember there are no shops or gas stations - so take precautions.

Wonderlike ontvangs en heerlik warm geslaap met al die kaggels en elektriese komberse was wonderlik.

Rhodes is 'n pragtige dorpie en die gasvryheid waarmee ons ontvang is, was ongelooflik natuurlik die hoogtepunt was ons besoek aan Tiffendell, met sjerrie ontvang en die restaurant daar baie goeie waarde vir geld geëet en geski, sal vir seker weer by Den Hagen gasteplaas bly.

Hut in the mountains.

The barn is pretty basic with all self-catering utensils. Daily cleanup from the staff and support from the owner. All facilities functional and hot shower after a days cycling up the passes did the trick. The mattress needs replacing however.

'n Baie aangename end gasvrye ondervinding.

Baie dankie aan Roger en Judy vir hulle gasvryheid en kliëntediens oor die naweek in Rhodes. Alles was netjies en in plek en ons kon nie meer verwag het nie. Alhoewel ons net twee was en moes vir drie betaal, omdat daar slaapplek vir drie was was dit nog steeds waarde vir geld. Ek kan definitief Den Hagen aanbeveel en sal ook in die toekoms daarvan gebruik maak.

A very pleasant and hospitable experience.

Many thanks to Roger and Judy for their hospitality and customer service over the weekend in Rhodes. Everything was neat and in place and we couldn't have expected more. Although there were only two of us and had to pay for three, because there was room for three it was still value for money. I can definitely recommend Den Hagen and will also use them in the future.
