Ideal secluded spot.

I travel a lot with large breed dogs, that some guests don't approve of. This spot is fantastic! The dam on the doorstep too, could watch my dogs all day if I needed to.

Peaceful family getaway.

Beautifully built, well-equipped home, set in a picture-perfect location. The location is peaceful and set just far away enough from the neighbours that you can see them in the distance, but cannot be heard. The views of the valley and mountains, perfectly taken in from the extra wide stoep, are lovely, at every time of the day. The beds were comfortable with good quality linen, and views from every room. We'll definitely be back!

Great location, great layout and overall a good experience.

We had a great mid-week stay and everything you could want is there already. Much bigger than it appears in photos and everyone was very comfortable with great mattresses and pillows and lots of seating areas available as well. The Weber needs a bit of help (presumably from people having burned wood in it instead of charcoal) but nothing a bit of foil couldn't fix. There's a lot of song and dance about the house being off-grid and solar powered and therefore not to use any of the appliances that are already there, but as a solar user myself it just illustrated a fundamental lack of understanding of how this all actually works. Far more useful would be an indicator to guests of how much battery is left and the current load rather than all the rules and regulations; flying blind is the only real problem with the house being off-grid and it shouldn't be for guests to manage this if the system isn't specced properly. The drive there was actually no problem at all even with one of the cars in the party being reasonably sporty and therefore low. Overall we had a great time, the lists of do's and don'ts were just so unnecessary and dampened the experience. Directions were also extremely convoluted for no good reason at all.

Beautiful scenery, secluded, comfortable and relaxing!

The accommodation is spacious, clean and well-equipped, and the large stoep with fabulous mountain views added to our enjoyment. The swimming pool was very welcome in the 40-degree heat! An ideal place to chill with a book, go for walks, bird watching, and spend quality time with family and friends. Thank you!

Off grid, lots of ticks, nice scenery.

Location and view - perfect. Directions were very confusing and we ended up stuck. Also got stuck in the gravel when leaving - while driving a Fortuner. The farmer was helpful, but he's not even the host. All the crockery is chipped. There was old toothpaste on the towels. It is deceptive that you have loads of space to walk dogs etc since most of the property in the photos belongs to surrounding farmers who have locked their gates so you can't enter. Not to mention the literal millions of ticks that make it impossible to walk outside. If you want somewhere off grid, it's definitely that. But the price is exorbitant considering what you actually get - oversold for sure!

Robertson Stays 's response

I will respond per point:
1. Directions are clearly written, complete with the approximate distance of each turn off. I also advise contacting Kobus two days prior to your arrival so he can guide you in. Please ensure not to arrive after dark.
2. Stuck with a Fortuner? I am unsure how that could have happened, unless you attempted the 4x4 route, which I have explicitly advised against.
3. As I've made clear, I am not based at the property, but Kobus is the manager, receptionist, and farmer.
4. Regarding the chipped crockery, I will inspect it, however during the last check (about three weeks ago), there was no such issue.
5. As for walking space, 200 hectares are accessible! The only off-limits area is between the blueberry nets - but who would want to walk there anyway?
6. Ticks: these are very seasonal. When you're out in nature, ticks may be present. To claim there are millions - I have yet to witness that. I'd also like to note that if you bring along five dogs, it may be quite a task to check them all.
7. Lastly, the running costs of the house and farm are quite high and Kobus is remunerated well since he is on standby 24/7.

Beautiful setting and the house is lovely.

Everything was lovely. I would, however, advertise it as a 6 sleeper though, the 4th bedroom does not compare to the other 3 bedrooms and we were 4 couples, so the one couple had a tiny room with single beds that couldn't even be put together. It's more of an extra room for families with extra kids to share.

Robertson Stays 's response

Thanks for your review
It is actually highlighted that the 4th bedroom is outside and is ideal for teenagers, not for 4 couples.
After booking I send you a reply with a few points for your attention.
One of them states clearly that it is 4 bedrooms but that the 4th bedroom is outside and if you are 4 couples it is not ideal.
Sorry you missed this but I do fully agree with you.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Dominique

Pragtige natuurskoon in 'n baie mooi deel van die Wes-Kaap.

Die weer het ons ongelukkig nie toegelaat om die omgewing te voet te verken nie, maar die kaggel het daarvoor vergoed. Dankie aan Kobus wat ons bederf het met sy innemende persoonlikheid en hulp!

Beautiful scenery in a very beautiful part of the Western Cape.

Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to explore the area on foot, but the fireplace made up for it. Thanks to Kobus for spoiling us with his endearing personality and help!

One of the most beautiful locations. Clean and convenient. Open-plan and easy for entertainment.

Would have appreciated better cooking equipment ie. knives, large cutting boards, wine/juice glasses, braai bakke and more outdoor seating. These are all nice to haves I mentioned. We really enjoyed every moment. Thank you for a great time.

Heerlik gerus, dit was lekker om net die voëls te hoor en verder net die stilte.

Ons het heerlik gebly, alles was mooi skoon en netjies. Swembadwater was ontsettend koud, maar ons het nog Saterdagmiddag geswem, aangesien dit heerlik warm was.

Very relaxing, it was nice to hear only the birds and then only the silence.

We had a wonderful stay, everything was clean and tidy. Pool water was extremely cold, but we still swam on Saturday afternoon, as it was wonderfully warm.

Wonderful weekend away with friends and family.

We went to Robertson Stays with another family and our two teenagers. The house was lovely, it suited our needs perfectly with spectacular views. The beds were comfortable, and the amenities were great. We hiked in the mountains on both mornings and loved it. We will definitely return, hopefully for a longer stay next time.

Lieflike omgewing, gemaklike huis.

Die omgewing is lieflik en stil. Die huis is goed toegerus en gerieflik. Die opsigter, Kobus, was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ek sal die plek aanbeveel en weer teruggaan.

Tranquil and beautiful views.

I was impressed with the cleanliness and hospitality of the holiday house. This made the stay more comfortable and enjoyable. Aside from the house, the views are absolutely beautiful! My relatives and I took kids for a walk up a walking trail and although the weather wasn't great, they couldn't wait to dip in the pool. Electricity consumed was from the solar panels, so make sure you go prepared, i. e. torches or rechargeable lights at night only if the weather ain't sunny. You will have nothing short than a breath of fresh air and lotsa space for fun!

Baie lekker gekuier.

Die kuier by Robertson Stay was baie lekker, die plek was skoon en die opsigter Kobus was baie tops en behulpsaam. Slegs twee aangeleenthede wat dringend aandag geniet, (1) die paadjie wat lei na die batterye onder die huis moet beter afgesper word. Een van my vriende het vergeet van die paadjie en het sy balans verloor en geval in die sloot en sy ribbes gebreek. Daar moet beslis relings opgesit word, dit is belangrik vir beide volwassenes en veral vir kinders. Die gasbottels het ook nie Vrydagaand gewerk vir die storte nie, en moes Kobus inkry om te kom help. Andersins het ons baie lekker gekuier, die omgewing was lekker en kon lekker fietsy en stap.

Had a great time.

The visit at Robertson Stay was very nice, the place was clean and the caretaker Kobus was very top and helpful. Only two matters that require urgent attention, (1) the path leading to the batteries under the house should be better blocked off. One of my friends forgot about the path and lost his balance and fell into the ditch and broke his ribs. Railings should definitely be put up, this is important for both adults and especially for children. The gas bottles didn't work for the showers on Friday night either, and Kobus had to be brought in to help. Otherwise we had a great time, the environment was nice and we could cycle and walk.

Serene, peaceful, beautiful and magical.

For a completely off the grid, secluded holiday to rejuvenate and forget about the outside world for just a few days, Robertson stays is definitely the place to be. The home was clean and well equipped with everything you need.

Kuier was fantasties. Alles was beskikbaar wat ons nodig gehad het.

Miskien kan daar net gekyk word na die septiese tenk. Daar was 'n rioolreuk wat vanaf een of ander tenk afkomstig was.

Maybe just look at the septic tank. There was a sewage smell coming from some tank.
