Die Sanctuary-toer met die eienares Lauren was insiggewend. Kudos and respect.

Dit was vir ons 'n eerste en het die kompakte glamping baie geniet. Die teepee was bietjie uitdagend, maar het soos 'n baba geslaap.

The Sanctuary tour with owner Lauren was informative. Kudos and respect.

It was a first for us and we really enjoyed the compact glamping. The teepee was a bit challenging but slept like a baby.

Great walk in the wilderness, saw lots of animals, so worth it.

Loved the stay in the teepee in front of the waterhole. So many wildlife to see. Lions weren't shy to roar at all.

An exciting stay at a well kept reserve.

So peaceful, animals near the tented camp and going to sleep listening to the lions. All in all a wonderful experience. Lauren is so extremely passionate about her work.

Rustig, pragtig, heerlik.

Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en het ons met ope arms verwelkom. Ons kon op ons eie op die plaas rondry en diere en voëls soek. Die gratis toer van die leeus was baie insiggewend. Hierdie mense het ons tot gehelp om ons motor se band om te ruil toe ons ontdek dat dit pap is.

Peaceful, beautiful, delicious.

The hostess is very friendly and welcomed us with open arms. We could drive around the farm on our own and look for animals and birds. The free tour of the lions was very informative. These people even helped us change our car's tire when we discovered it was flat.

Very beautiful scenery, luxury camping.

Just a suggestion, the roads on the farm need some work, maybe drag a tyre and cut back some bush, it was very tricky driving around the farm, you definitely need a 4x 4 vehicle.

Lovely venue!

Accommodation was very well prepared/ stocked for our visit! Wood supplied for the hot tub as well as the fire lighters! Accommodation is very private with the game walking right in front of the tent! Lovely and peaceful! Will definitely be coming for a second visit!

Juweel in die bos en ‘n klipgooi van die see.

Rustig en ontspannend met die mooiste uitsig.

Jewel in the forest and a stone's throw from the sea.

Quiet and relaxing with the most beautiful view.

Absolutely amazing.

Dit was n ongelooflike plek om by te bly - die gasvryheid van eienaars was ongelooflik en die kamers is baie goed ingerig asook die kombuis. As jy lekker wegbreek wil hê, is dit die plek om te besoek.

Ons het 'n heerlike naweek hier deurgebring, lekker rustig en gerieflik ingerig.

Alle fasiliteite was goed, ons het baie lekker om die vuur gekuier, en daar was oorgenoeg vuurhout. Dit was nogal koud in die nag maar ons beddens het oorgenoeg komberse gehad. Sal graag weer hier wil kom kuier.

We spent a lovely weekend here, nice and quiet and comfortably furnished.

All facilities were good, we had a lot of fun hanging out around the fire, and there was plenty of firewood. It was quite cold at night but our beds had plenty of blankets. Would love to visit here again.

Rustige verblyf naby Jeffreys.

Goeie verblyf en baie rustig wat lekker naby aan Jeffreys is. Prys bietjie duur vir die geriewe wat jy kry. Geriewe kan so bietjie opgegradeer word, soos byvoorbeeld kaste in kombuis, asook hangkaste in kamer of meer pakplek. Die kosmaakpanne en potte kan ook beter gehalte wees. Sal dit steeds aanbeveel vir diegene wat die veel worry oor goeie geriewe nie.

Quiet accommodation near Jeffreys.

Good accommodation and very peaceful which is nice and close to Jeffreys. Price a bit expensive for the amenities you get. Amenities can be upgraded a bit, such as cupboards in the kitchen, as well as hanging cupboards in the room or more storage space. The cooking pans and pots could also be better quality. Would still recommend it to those who worry too much about good amenities.

Hartsplek.

Ons tyd was absoluut wonderlik op die plaas. Die mooiste diere, sonsondergange en familie-tyd gehad. Dankie baie vir julle gasvryheid. Ons het absoluut niks negatiefs om te sê nie, maar wil net graag noem dat 'n toaster, skerp messes en 1 pot vir die gasstoof regtig great sal wees om by die kombuisware te voeg. Ons sal verseker terugkom. Dankie weereens!

Heart place

Our time at the farm was absolutely wonderful. Had the most beautiful animals, sunsets and family time. Thank you very much for your hospitality. We have absolutely nothing negative to say, but would just like to mention that a toaster, sharp knives and 1 pot for the gas stove would be really great to add to the kitchenware. We will be back for sure. Thanks again!
