Ek het die vreugde en stilte geniet.

Ek beveel gerus aan, dit is skoon, netjies en rustig. Huisies is mooi en skoon. Lekker staproetes, swembad, etc. Ek sal weer kom inboek.

N rustige ervaring van natuur, waar jy jouself weer kan vind.

Ons het vreeslik lekker gekuier. Ons het die Saterdag deur gebring by die swembad, en later die middag 'n vuurtjie aangesteek by ons huisie. Ons het later die aand buite gaan staan en opgekyk na die wonderlike uitsig aan die sterre. Die feit dat daar glad nie ligte buite is nie, was 'n plus vir ons. Dit het dit net soveel makliker en wonderlik gemaak om na die sterre te kyk. Ons een aand oorslaap was presies wat ons nodig gehad het, as nuwe mama en papa, en natuurlik het baba dit net so baie geniet in die rustige stilte in die vallei.

A peaceful experience of nature, where you can find yourself again.

We had a great time. We spent the Saturday by the pool, and later in the afternoon lit a fire at our cottage. Later that evening we stood outside and looked up at the wonderful view of the stars. The fact that there are no lights outside at all was a plus for us. It just made looking at the stars so much easier and wonderful. Our one night sleepover was exactly what we needed, as new mum and dad, and of course baby enjoyed it just as much in the peaceful silence in the valley.

Lekker gebly. Voëls en staproete baie geniet.

Baie rustig, rus en vrede. Ons het goed reggekom met die gas en die solarstelsel. Selfoonsein is swak, maar voldoende. Was heerlik om daagliks die beeste te sien en te hoor. Ons het een dag Dullstroom toe gery, so 60 km waarvan meer as die helfde grondpad was. Eenheid was skoon en baie lekker.

Ongelooflik rustig, en als wat nodig is in die huis.

Baie rustig en stil. Ongelukkig het 'n vlermuis my aanhoudend gepla van 02h00, elke 15 min. As ek die lig afsit kom hy terug. Het liewer gery en my kos agtergelos (kon dit nie in die kar hou nie). Ek het 'n oproep verwag maar teen so 14h00 het ek liewer ander blyplek gekry. Hulle het laat weet dat die vorige naweek se mense nie gekla het nie. Het na so twee weke my geld vir die tweede aand in die bank gesit, en R20 ekstra.

Incredibly peaceful, and everything you need in the house.

Very calm and quiet. Unfortunately, a bat bothered me continuously from 02h00, every 15 min. If I turn off the light he comes back. Rather drove and left my food behind (couldn't keep it in the car). I was expecting a call but at around 14h00 I preferred to find another place to stay. They let it be known that the previous weekend's people had not complained. After about two weeks put my money in the bank for the second night, and R20 extra.

Mr Smith booked from 8 - 10 March 2024. On 9 March 2024, he left the key of the chalet in the box in front of the office and drove away. He informed the office only through a WhatsApp text message that the cleaners should collect the meat in the fridge. When I asked him afterwards if they weren't returning, he indicated that they were not and mentioned an issue with bats. I responded by suggesting that the bats may have found a hole somewhere because there was no such issue the previous weekend. If there had been, I am sure the previous guests would have mentioned it. As he stated he was not returning, I didn't offer him an alternative chalet for that Saturday night. However, on 11 March 2024, I did offer him another weekend here. On 13 March 2024, he declined my offer and mentioned that had I offered an alternative for the Saturday night, he might have accepted it. If he had informed me about the bat problem in person, or via WhatsApp, or even called early that Saturday morning, I could have moved them to another chalet.

Lekker wegbreek met die mooiste views. Wens net die huis was bietjie meer luuks.

Die plaas is vreeslik mooi. Ons het in Blinkblaar Chalet gebly. Ons het vreeslik gesukkel met die stort se water. Dit is of yskoud of vuurwarm. Die dak het gelek toe dit gereën het. Daar was ook vlermuise in die dak wat een van die beddens bemors het. Die huis het baie potensiaal maar moet bietjie opgedateer word. Verder het ons lekker gebly.

Nice break with the most beautiful views. Just wish the house was a little more luxurious.

The farm is very beautiful. We stayed in Blinkblaar Chalet. We struggled terribly with the shower's water. It's either ice cold or blazing hot. The roof leaked when it rained. There were also bats in the roof that messed up one of the beds. The house has a lot of potential but needs some updating. Other than that we had a nice stay.

'n Moet vir natuurliefhebbers.

Dis egter nie vir "squeemish" mense nie. Dis afgeleë en met beperkte elektrisiteit, maar skoon, netjies en veilg en vreeslik stil. Ek is baie lief vir die plek, maar daar is nie brandstof of winkels naby nie. Dit lyk ook of daar plekke tussen die rante is wat nie selfoonsein ontvang nie.

A must for nature lovers.

However, it is not for "squeemish" people. It's remote and with limited electricity, but clean, tidy and safe and eerily quiet. I really love the place, but there is no fuel or shops nearby. It also seems that there are places between the ridges that do not receive cell phone signal.

So mooi. Rustig. Wens die tyd kon stil staan!

Die vriendelike Driekie het ons so mooi ontvang! Nadat ek my plek betaal het het sy dadelik met my kontak gemaak deur WhatApp. Sy was ook heeltyd met my in kontak. Totdat ek by haar die sleutels opgetel het. Ons wou rus en net lui wees. Wou nie eers Sondag opstaan in die reënweer en klaarmaak vir ontbyt nie. Toe bederf hulle ons by ons Chalet met heerlike ontbyt platters vir 2 mense stiptelik 9 uur. Ons sal vir seker weer kom wegkruip en rus daar! Ons het vir ure onder ons lapadakkie gesit en net die mooi ingeneem. Tussendeur die reën kon ons lekker braai. Die blyplek is baie privaat. Goed toegerus. En meer as genoeg slaapplek vir sommer 8 mense! Aalwyn Chalet is perfek geleë by die rivier en met al die reën het ons heeltyd die water oor die klippe gehoor. Baie baie dankie vir ons lekker naweek. Sien julle binnekort weer.

So beautiful. Restful. Wish time could stand still!

The friendly Driekie received us so nicely! After I paid my place she immediately contacted me via WhatApp. She was also in contact with me all the time. Until I picked up the keys from her. We wanted to rest and just be lazy. Didn't even want to get up on Sunday in the rainy weather and get ready for breakfast. Then they spoiled us at our Chalet with delicious breakfast platters for 2 people at exactly 9 o'clock. We will definitely come back to hide and rest there! We sat for hours under our cloth pad and just took in the beauty. In between the rain we could have a nice barbecue. The accommodation is very private. Well equipped. And more than enough sleeping space for just 8 people! Aalwyn Chalet is perfectly located by the river and with all the rain we could hear the water over the stones all the time. Thank you very much for our nice weekend. See you again soon.

Wegbreek in pragtige, beeldskone natuur!

Wat 'n heerlike naweek. Lekker fietsry, visvang en stap. Ons het die valentyns bring en braai dans bygewoon. Dit was 10 uit 10. Daar word vreeslik baie moeite gedoen om alles mooi instand te hou. Dit is so lekker om daar te wees, mens wil nie eers huis toe gaan nie. Wens ons kon nog so bietjie langer gebly het. Dit is beslis een van my gunstelling plekke om te besoek. Dit was ons tweede keer by Ribbokkloof Holiday Farm en sal defnitief weer daar gaan kuier.

An awful lot of effort is put into maintaining everything nicely. It's so nice to be there, you don't even want to go home. Wish we could have stayed a little longer.

Stilte en natuurskoon.

Hierdie is regtig die ideale plek om te kom ontspan. Dis heerlik stil en die huisie is baie netjies en goed toegerus. Die voetslaanpad is aangenaam, maar nie genoeg rede om hierheen te kom nie. Jy kom eerder vir die skoonheid en kalmte. Ongelukkig is die voetslaanpad ook heeltemal vol knapsekêrels wat aan jou klere gaan vassit. Onthou jou eie handdoeke en 'n kombers om buite onder te sit, want die aande raak koud!

Silence and natural beauty.

This is really the ideal place to come and relax. It's wonderfully quiet and the house is very neat and well equipped. The footpath is pleasant, but not reason enough to come here. Rather, you come for the beauty and serenity. Unfortunately, the footpath is also completely full of knapsack guys who will stick to your clothes. Remember your own towels and a blanket to sit outside under, because the evenings get cold!

Ribbokkloof is in 'n pragtige natuur-area geleë, en bied waarde vir geld.

Oor die algemeen is dit n baie lekker plek met pragtige natuurskoon. 'n Paar probleme wat ons ondervind het was die foto's wys nog mense wat voor 'n kaggel sit, maar geen kaggel mag meer gebruik word nie. Daar is nou gasverwarmer wat jy kan huur teen R200 wat nie dieselfde is nie. 'n Deposito van R400 moet vir die sleutel gegee word, maar jy mag dit nie in kontant doen nie en as jy uitklaar en die sleutel teruggee kry jy nie dadelik jou geld terug nie, dit word eers later aan jou terugbetaal. Die solar battery was leeg die eerste aand toe ons daar aangekom het en dit was duidelik dat niemand dit nagegaan het voor ons ingeboek het nie. Ons moes toe reëlings tref dat hulle ander batterye kom insit. Geen van die bestuur of staf het maskers gedra vir Covid-19 nie en ons voel hulle kan dit dalk verbeter. Veiligheid kan dalk 'n probleem wees as daar 'n plaasaanval is, want die huisies het amper geen sein nie en daar is ook geen panic button of veiligheidshek nie. Die grasdakhuisie het net een ingang (deur) wat dalk 'n probleem mag wees gedurende 'n brand as mens sou moes vlug uit die huis.

Ribbokkloof is located in a beautiful nature area, and offers value for money.

In general, it is a very nice place with beautiful scenery. A few problems we encountered were the photos still show people sitting in front of a fireplace, but no fireplace may be used anymore. There is now gas heater that you can rent for R200 which is not the same. A deposit of R400 must be given for the key, but you may not do it in cash and if you check out and return the key you will not get your money back immediately, it will only be paid back to you later. The solar battery was empty the first night we got there and it was clear that no one had checked it before we checked in. We then had to make arrangements for them to come and put in other batteries. None of the management or staff wore masks for Covid-19 and we feel they could perhaps improve this. Safety may be a problem if there is a farm attack, because the cottages have almost no signal and there is no panic button or security gate either. The thatched cottage has only one entrance (door) which might be a problem during a fire if one had to flee from the house.

Dankie vir julle besoek aan Ribbokkloof. Ons Blinkblaar chalet het nog 'n kaggel binne.Tans is ons byna klaar met die herbou van ons Tolbos chalet wat weens die gebruik van die kaggel, afgebrand het, dus die rede waarom die ander kaggels verwyder is & gasverwarmers nou beskikbaar is. Ons is ook in die proses om ons webblad te hernu.
Kontantbetalings is toelaatbaar, maar elektroniese betalings word verkies.
Sleuteldeposito's is vir die veilige terugbesorg van die sleutels asook vir breek- & diefstalskade [wat ons ongelukkig al ervaar het & waarvoor die R400 eintlik te min is]. Nadat gaste uitgeboek het [oor algemeen op Sondae], besoek ons personeel die chalets op Maandae om linne te verwyder en gaan die Chalet inhoud na om die chalets weer vir die volgende gaste voor te berei. Die personeel gee dan terugvoer en daarna word sleuteldepositos uitbetaal. [In die geval was daar 'n netwerk probleem met die elektroniese betaling op die Vrydag, 13/08/2021 toe gaste arriveer/inboek & is gas vriendelik versoek om die betaling later oor te plaas, wat toe 16/08/2021 eers in die bankrekening gewys het. Die R400 is op 20/08/2021 terugbetaal.
Solar batterye word nagegaan. Daardie week was redelik bewolk & ligte, yskaste ens word alles nagegaan voor gaste arriveer. Batterye was dadelik vervang toe ons ingelig is van die probleem.
Die Covid register is deur die gas voltooi met aankoms & haar temperatuur was geneem en aangeteken. Die ontvangsdame dra haar masker in die kantoor asook ander personeel in kantoor ure.
Tov veiligheid by die chalets is gaste welkom om hulle gelisensieerde vuurwapens saam te bring. Vodacom & MTN het redelike sein by die Chalet area & in die kloof. Ons is ook gekoppel met buurtwag radios en almal in die omgewing is baie paraat.
Ons poog om ons prag stukkie aarde met ons basiese, tog nostalgiese, netjiese akkommodasie tot soveel as moontlik gaste se beskikking te stel deur ons lae tariewe. Sou ons egter opgradeer sal ons tariewe ook aangepas moet word.

Ek het Blinkblaar chalet bespreek wat vir 12 mense is met 2 badkamers.

Met aankoms is ons in Aalwyn ingedruk en na ek gebel het, na Stinkhout toe geskuif. Ook vir 12 mense, baie klein. Baie steil trappe met slegs 1 badkamer. Dit was glad nie wat ek voor gehoop of verwag het nie. Ons het 5 klein kindertjies gehad, was baie onprakties. Die opsigter was baie gaaf en behulpsaam. Ek sal nie weer daar gaan bly nie.

I booked Blinkblaar chalet which is for 12 people with 2 bathrooms.

On arrival we were pushed into Aalwyn and after I called, moved to Stinkhout. Also for 12 people, very small. Very steep stairs with only 1 bathroom. It was not at all what I had hoped for or expected. We had 5 small children, was very impractical. The caretaker was very nice and helpful. I will not stay there again.

Ribbokkloof Holiday Farm 's response

Die bespreking was gemaak op 06.09.2021 deur Travelground [Lekkeslaap] vir 4 volwassenes & 4 kinders van ouderdomme 2, 2, 3 & 5 jaar oud. Daar was slegs vir die 4 volwassenes betaal & nie vir ‘n chalet / eenheid of kinders nie. Die gas was ook ingelig dat die Blinkblaar chalet se reeling op die boonste vloer, nie kinder veilig / vriendelik is nie. Die kwotasie het egter verval op 08.09.2021 & het die gas uitstel gevra tot 15.09.2021, waarop sy dit toe betaal het, maar die Blinkblaar chalet was toe reeds uitgeboek aan ander gaste vir die bepaalde naweek. Ons het toe die Aalwyn chalet wat 8 gaste kan huisves, aan die gas toegeken.
Met aankoms, het die gas genoem dat daar egter 5 kinders is, wat baba van 5 maande insluit. Sy is ingelig dat die Aalwyn chalet 8 gaste kan huisves & daar nie trappe in die chalet is nie. Met aankoms by die chalet het gas die kantoor geskakel & genoem dat die eenheid vir hulle bietjie knap is, met die kinders inaggenome. Ons het toe reelings getref dat hulle wel kan skuif na die Stinkhout chalet [wat 12 gaste kan huisves], maar trappe het & wat gelukkig beskikbaar was op daardie stadium. Hulle het toe besluit om te skuif.

Pragtige natuurskoon, eko-vriendelik, rustigheid, asemrowende berge en kloof, geen geraas. Regtig pikstikdonker in die nag.

Ons het dit terdeë geniet. Die rustigheid, Die kalmte van die rivierstroom wat voor ons verby gespoel het, die groot verskeidenheid van voëls se gesang en geswiep deur die lug. Stikdonker nagte weens geen elektrisiteit. Hier het ons bietjie weer onsself gevind en met ons siele kennis gemaak. Groot gesprekke met mekaar en met God gevoer. Sal Ribbokkloof vir enige kampeerder aanbeveel. Maak net seker die pad is nie nat wanneer jy daarheen reis nie, want net 'n vierwiel-voertuig sal die nat pad begaanbaar vind. Andersins is dit heel begaanbaar om 'n karavaan daarheen te sleep.

Beautiful scenery, eco-friendly, tranquility, breathtaking mountains and gorge, no noise. Really pitch black at night.

We thoroughly enjoyed it. The tranquility, The calmness of the river stream that swept past us, the great variety of birds singing and waving through the air. Pitch black nights due to no electricity. Here we found ourselves again and got to know our souls. Had great conversations with each other and with God. Would recommend Ribbokkloof to any camper. Just make sure the road is not wet when you travel there, as only a four-wheel drive vehicle will find the wet road passable. Otherwise, it is quite passable to tow a caravan there.

Hier vind jy weer jouself.

As jy wil wegkom van die geraas en gejaag van die lewe, gaan jy Ribbokkloof toe. Die stilte in die kloof is oorverdowend! As jy gewoond is aan elke luuksheid gaan Ribbokkloof nie vir jou werk nie. Jy gebruik gas of battery of solarkrag. Daar is nie 'n kragpunt nie, maar ons het voorsorg getref daarvoor. Die plekkie was silwerskoon en netjies. Ons het baie gemaklik geslaap. Dit is miskien nie geskik vir families wat tieners het wat nie sonder tegnologie kan gaan nie, .maar vir ons was dit hemel op aarde. Ons het selfs 'n Ribbokbok-paartjie gesien toe hulle by die stroompie kom drink het. Vars fonteinwater voorsien die huisies van die heerlikste water. Ons sal beslis weer teruggaan.

If you want to get away from the noise and hustle and bustle of life, you go to Ribbokkloof. The silence in the gorge is deafening! If you are used to every luxury, Ribbokkloof will not work for you. You use gas or battery or solar power. There is no power point, but we have taken care of that. The place was spotless and tidy. We slept very comfortably. It might not be suitable for families with teenagers who can't live without technology, but for us it was heaven on earth. We even saw a pair of Ribbok goats when they came to drink at the stream. Fresh spring water supplies the cottages with the most delicious water. We will definitely go back again.

Rustig, natuur.

Ribbokkloof is 'n fantastiese naweekkuier - dit was ons tweede besoek op die plaas. Ons het heerlik gekuier, die wandelroetes geniet (met 5 en 9 jarige wat saam gestap het). Ons enigste kritiek is die swembad wat verskriklik vuil was, sand en grond op die bodem en water bruin (troebel). Die plaas het twee dae voor ons ingeboek het groot reën gehad, en rivier het in die swembad ingespoel - dit kan mens verstaan. Ons sou graag wou sien dat die swembad spoediger toeganklik gemaak word vir gaste, want met jong kinders is die swembad maar aanhoudend 'n trekpleister.

Calm, nature.

Ribbokkloof is a fantastic weekend visit - this was our second visit to the farm. We had a great time, enjoyed the walking routes (with 5 and 9 year olds walking together). Our only criticism is the pool which was terribly dirty, sand and soil on the bottom and water brown (turbid). The farm had heavy rain two days before we checked in, and the river washed into the pool - that's understandable. We would like to see the pool made more accessible to guests as soon as possible, because with young children the pool is a constant attraction.

Interessant!

Ons verblyf was baie lekker, akkommodasie is standaard, netjies en skoon. Daar is geen kragproppe om enige toestelle te gebruik nie, wees bewus daarvan en ons het nie geweet ons moet ons eie bad handdoeke saamneem nie. Dit was nogal 'n storie. Die ligging is goed en die wegbreek van die stad doen hemels aan die siel. Kinders het die visvang geniet, maar die areas om die rivier en damme kort skoonmaak, ons het baie bosse en klitse gehad waardeur ons moes stoei.

Our stay was very nice, accommodation is standard, neat and clean. There are no power plugs to use any appliances, be aware of that and we didn't know we had to bring our own bath towels. It was quite a story. The location is good and the break from the city is heavenly for the soul. Kids enjoyed the fishing, but the areas around the river and ponds short of clearing, we had lots of bushes and mudflats to wrestle through.

Nie heeltemal tevrede nie.

Op Vrydag, 5 Julie, die dag voor ons moes huis toe gaan, was daar bome afgesaag in die bosse. Die stilte was verbreek deur kettingsae en 'n trok, trekker en bakkies wat reg voor ons huis heen en weer gery het en baie stof gemaak het. Ek het dit ook vir die dame genoem toe ons uitgeklok het, dit was baie teleurstellend!

Not quite satisfied.

On Friday, July 5, the day before we had to go home, there were trees being cut in the bushes. The silence was broken by chainsaws and a truck, tractor and bakkies that drove right in front of our house and made lots of dust. I also mentioned it to the lady when we checked out, it was very disappointing!

Pragtige natuurskoon, super rustig!

Ons is verlief op Ribbokkloof Holiday Farm! En wil sommer vir al ons vriende en familie vertel van die pragtige plek. Ongelukkig het ons met twee klein kindertjies gaan kamp in 'n baie koue tyd, so ons het effens gesukkel sonder die krag en warmte en het 'n baie koue nag beleef. Maar ons laaste aand daar was in 'n huisie en ons sou beslis eerder dit aanbeveel vir mense met klein kinders. As dit warm weer is of die kinders is ouer, is die kampplek perfek! Die omgewing is pragtig met die mooiste uitsigte!

We are in love with Ribbokkloof Holiday Farm! And just want to tell all our friends and family about the beautiful place. Unfortunately we went camping with two small children in a very cold time so we struggled a bit without the power and warmth and had a very cold night. But our last night there was in a cottage and we would definitely recommend it for people with small children. If the weather is warm or the kids are older, the campsite is perfect! The surroundings are beautiful with the most beautiful views!

I would like to go back there but it is not good place for people with sinus, but I enjoyed my stay.

It is a good place to chill and for peace but you need to specify that it is a 4x4 terrain road and if possible an addition of plugs would be much appreciated. Either way, it is a great place to be.

Ribokkloof is very nice if you want to get away, to spend the night quickly if you are going somewhere is not so nice. I would like them to give more details about the fact that they don't have power, you can get caught off guard if you are not prepared, some rooms have power, others don't, would like to know which ones have power etc.

Asemrowend mooi... As jy wil rus, rus hier.

Ek, my man en my dogter (6) het ons tyd by Ribbokkloof verskriklik geniet (Ons het in Alwyn-chalet geslaap)! Weg van die geraas van die stad, TV ens. Lekker warm water gehad en omdat ons chalet nie 'n kaggel ingehad het nie, was daar darem 'n gas verwarmer wat perfek gewerk het! Let wel: As jy wel soos my man heeltyd op "stand-by" moet wees, bring net 'n karlaaier of 'n volgelaaide "powerbank" saam om jou foon vol lewe te hou. Baie lekker 4x4-roete!

Natuurlike stilte is my kos!

Ons het die wegbreek baie geniet, want om in die natuur te kan wees net so 2.5 ure se ry, is hemels! Dit was lekker koud in die aande, maar die huisie (aalwyn) was heerlik warm gewees met genoeg beddegoed. Ons was maar net so bietjie teleurgesteld dat ons 6 mense was en net 2 groot handdoeke was voorsien. Daar was ook geen stoele/tafel of lig vir buitebraai gewees nie en ons was ook nie ingelig om dit saam te bring nie. Ons het ook nie geweet dat daar geen kragpunte was nie, so wees maar seker om 'n kar charger saam te vat! Die rivier was opgedroog, maar dit is te verstane met ons land se droogte, net so 'n jammerte. Verder was dit lekker.

Natural silence is my food!

We really enjoyed the break, because being able to be in nature just a 2.5 hour drive is heavenly! It was nice and cold in the evenings, but the house (Alwyn) was wonderfully warm with enough bedding. We were just a little disappointed that we were 6 people and only 2 large towels were provided. There had also been no chairs/table or light for outdoor barbecue and we were not informed to bring them either. We also didn't know that there were no power points, so be sure to take a car charger with you! The river had dried up, but that is understandable with our country's drought, just such a pity. Other than that it was nice.

Pragtige kliphuisies in 'n pragtige omgewing. Website het gesê ons moet handdoeke, vadoeke, toiletpaier en skottelgoedseep saambring ... maar dit was toe als daar. Ons moes eerder vuurhoutjies (vir die gasstoof) en 'n wynbotteloopmaker saamgeneem het. Alwyn kan doen met beter sitkamergeriewe. Verder was dit baie rustig en ons het die staproete geniet.

Simple convenience!

Beautiful stone houses in a beautiful setting. Website said we should bring towels, dishcloths, toilet paper and dish soap...but that was all. We should have taken matches (for the gas stove) and a wine bottle opener instead. Alwyn could do with better lounge facilities. Furthermore, it was very peaceful and we enjoyed the walking route.

Baie mooi omgewing, verblyf baie basies.

Dis 'n pragtige omgewing en rustig. Alles is baie netjies. Daar staan egter nêrens dat mens eie handdoeke en toiletpapier moet saamneem nie. Dis ook nie duidelik dat geen van die huisies krag het nie. Ons het in Lemoendoring geslaap. Dis slaapplek vir 4, maar slegs 2 stoele by die kombuistafel. Die kombuis is baie basies toegerus. Die dubbelbed was baie ongemaklik.

Very nice surroundings, accommodation very basic.

It's a beautiful environment and peaceful. Everything is very neat. However, nowhere does it say that you must bring your own towels and toilet paper. It is also not clear that none of the houses have power. We slept in Lemoendoring. It sleeps 4, but only 2 chairs at the kitchen table. The kitchen is very basic equipped. The double bed was very uncomfortable.

Dit was heerlik en stil. Net wat 'n mens nodig het om te ontspan.

Die kampplek was heerlik en stil. Jy moet van die natuur hou om dit ten volle te kan geniet. Sal definitief dit aanbeveel as mens wil ontspan.

Wonderlike verblyf.

Ribbokkloof is 'n ware juweel en dis sommer lekker na aan Johannesburg geleë. Dis prentjiemooi, die kaggel in die grasdakhuis is wonderlik romanties, dis net jammer dat mense wat motorfietse ry toegelaat word.

Wonderful stay.

Ribbokkloof is a real gem and it's located very close to Johannesburg. It's picture perfect, the fireplace in the thatched house is wonderfully romantic, it's just a shame that people riding motorbikes are allowed.

Die verblyf was gerieflik, veilig, cozy en alles wat mens nodig het.

Hierdie lekker kliphuisie in die middel van die natuur, waar jy weer liggaam en siel bymekaar kan trek, is die perfekte wegbreek. Weg van ons daaglikse gejaagde bestaan. Jy kan nie help om net te ontspan nie. Die mooie natuur herinner jou waaroor dit werklik gaan in die lewe. Die huisie en die geriewe is perfek; mens verwag tog nie 5-ster as jy so na aan moeder natuur is nie. En moeder natuur is 'n baie goeie "nanny". Die kinders speel vir ure buite sonder dat jy van hulle weet. Selfs hulle kleine sieletjies "connect" met die rustigheid van die natuur. Ons is huistoe, uitgerus, ontspanne en tevrede.

The accommodation was comfortable, safe, cozy and everything you need.

This nice stone house in the middle of nature, where you can bring body and soul together again, is the perfect getaway. Away from our daily hectic existence. You can't help but just relax. The beautiful nature reminds you what life is really about. The cottage and the amenities are perfect; you don't expect 5 star when you are so close to mother nature. And mother nature is a very good "nanny". The children play outside for hours without you knowing about them. Even their little souls "connect" with the tranquility of nature. We went home, rested, relaxed and satisfied.

Dit was lieflik so in die natuur en na aan die natuur veral met die pragtige beeste wat jou elke oggend kom begroet het.

Ons het die verblyf baie geniet met slegs die warm water wat ietwat van 'n probleem was, maar met die hulp van Willem was dit ook gou uitgesorteer. Dit is 'n pragtige omgewing waar 'n mens so na aan jou Skepper voel en werklik dit jou na aan die hart lê.

It was lovely so in nature and close to nature especially with the beautiful cattle that came to greet you every morning.

We really enjoyed the stay with only the hot water being somewhat of a problem, but with the help of Willem it was soon sorted out. It is a beautiful environment where one feels so close to one's Creator and truly it is close to one's heart.

A very relaxing stay in nice accommodation that has everything one requires. Friendly people and nice walking trails. Use the inside fireplaces with caution, one of the other thatch units burnt down.

'n Wonderlike, rustige ervaring ...

Ek sal Ribbokkloof kan aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat wil wegkom van die gejaagde lewe. Ek kan nie verduidelik hoe lekker ek daar gebly het nie! Die plek is skoon, netjies, pragtig binne en buite, stil en rustig. Alles was net soos wat ek dit wou gehad het. Die dame wat ons ontvang het, was baie vriendelik. Ek het die beste tyd van my lewe gehad, ek en my man sal verseker meer gereeld daar kom bly vir 'n naweek om net bietjie tyd te kan spandeer met mekaar en die rustigheid te waardeer. Baie dankie vir die pragtige blyplek. Julle is sowaar tops!

I would be able to recommend Ribbokkloof to anyone who wants to get away from the hectic life. I can't explain how much I enjoyed my stay there! The place is clean, tidy, beautiful inside and out, quiet and peaceful. Everything was just as I wanted it to be. The lady who received us was very friendly. I had the best time of my life, my husband and I will definitely be staying there more often for a weekend just to be able to spend some time with each other and appreciate the tranquility. Thank you very much for the beautiful place to stay. You really are tops!

'n Wonderlike natuurervaring wat ek sal aanbeveel vir enige natuurliefhebber!

Van die oomblik toe ons by Ribbokkloof se hoofhekke ingery het, toe voel dit of ons op vakansie was. Ons is vriendelik verwelkom deur Adrie Schutte en die formaliteite is spoedig afgehandel. Van die kantoor, so met die grondpad af so oor die koppie, word ons gegroet deur 'n afgesondere natuurwêreld waar die wind speels waai deur die kloof en die rooi Bonsmara-beeste rustig wei tussen die rondawels. Moenie verwag om jou elektroniese speelgoed hier te kan gebruik nie, want dis hier waar Moeder Natuur jou terugbring aarde toe om weer jou "roots" te vind. Die erde-keteltjie sing vrolik op die gasstofie terwyl die sonpanele agter ons hutjie die laaste van die son se strale inpalm vir ons liggies vir die aand. Lanklaas was ek so gelukkig om op 'n plek te wees met GEEN hoofstroom elektrisiteit of lastige selfone en e-posse wat my pla ... 'n Braaivleis vuurtjie en die soete smakie van 'n Rosé onder die sterre het die Vrydagaand die perfekte atmosfeer geskep om op een knie vir liefie die ja-woord te vra! Vroegoggend wandelings op die wandelpaaie het teen die middag seer bene en spiere gebring, maar dit was alles absoluut die moeite werd! So veilig en so afgesonderd van die samelewing het ek seker lanklaas in my lewe gevoel. Dit was verseker nie die laaste keer wat ons by Ribbokkloof gaan afkamp nie en ons kan nie wag vir die volgende keer wat ons oor daai koppie op daai stofpad gaan ry nie.

A wonderful nature experience that I would recommend to any nature lover!

From the moment we drove into Ribbokkloof's main gates, it felt like we were on holiday. We were kindly welcomed by Adrie Schutte and the formalities were quickly completed. From the office, either down the dirt road or over the hill, we are greeted by a secluded natural world where the wind blows playfully through the gorge and the red Bonsmara cattle graze peacefully between the rondavels. Don't expect to be able to use your electronic toys here, because this is where Mother Nature brings you back to earth to find your "roots" again. The earthen kettle sings merrily on the gas stove while the solar panels behind our cabin capture the last of the sun's rays for our lights for the evening. I haven't been so lucky in a long time to be in a place with NO mains electricity or annoying cell phones and emails that bother me... A barbecue fire and the sweet taste of a Rosé under the stars have the perfect atmosphere on Friday night created to ask your sweetheart the yes word on one knee! Early morning walks on the footpaths brought sore legs and muscles by the afternoon, but it was all absolutely worth it! I have probably never felt so safe and so isolated from society in my life. It was certainly not the last time we camped at Ribbokkloof and we can't wait for the next time we drive over that hill on that dirt road.

Great value for money with perfect setting

We had a great time at Ribbokkloof! the customer service were great and Adrie helped with all of our requests. nice and clean chalets with everything we needed. There were a few hiccups. one being the problem with the overflowing drain at Blinkblaar making it impossible to sit outside. ( there is also no outside braai area) the other problem was with Tolbos where there were no electricity and also very cold showers (the guy doing the maintenance did try to replace the battery pack for the solar system but it didn't work.) But it was a good stay otherwise - Ribbokkloof's cows makes it an experience that you won't forget. they are beautiful and we had fun watching them - the only problem is that they leave a messy landmine surprise behind on your doorstep. A perfect setting, and a good value for money stay.

Had a lovely stay. All that's needed is 2 comfortable chairs to sit on in front of the TV.

We were short of bath towels. There was only one. A coffee bodum will be great. We had 2 camping chairs with us, so we could use that on the inside to sit on in front of the fire place. Maybe they could have 2 fold-up ones.
