Soetdoring Selfsorg

The location, right on the dam listening to and watching the birds was amazing.

Our overnight stay there was probably the most peaceful night that we have ever had on a holiday.

So rustig en stil, kos vir die siel.

Pragtige ligging, pure plaaslewe ondervinding!

Pitkos vir jou siel!

Lieflike, ruim en goed toegeruste eenheid is voorwaar 'n plek waar jy rus vir jou siel kry. Met die gekabbel van die water en geklets van die ryk voëllewe vergeet jy vinnig van al jou sorge. Bring baie hout vir die kaggel, jou gunsteling wyn en storieboek.

Vir my as voël- en stapliefhebber is dit paradyslik.

Regtig heerlik, dankie.

Great experience, top-notch customer service and beautiful views.

First time visiting Soetdorings and I must say we had an amazing experience. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. Beautiful views, peacefulness and very neat. The customer service was top-notch. The host is a star. We enjoyed our stay so much that we requested an extra day, and the host made it possible for us. Thank you for a great stay, see you soon.

Dit was uitstekend.

Baie lekker warm en rustig. Netjies en alles wat jy benodig. Kinders kon roei en die uitsig is asemrowend gewees.

Tranquil, adventurous, peaceful.

Ons het dit so baie geniet. Ons het al die waarskuwings in ag geneem oor hoe koud dit kan word en was aangenaam verras toe daar 'n warm kombers op die bed was.

Rustige atmosfeer, het die voëls, eende geniet. Sal weer definitief kom, maar m.

Rustige atmosfeer, het die voëls, eende geniet. Sal weer definitief kom, maar met 'n 4x4. Die grondpad is nie bedoel vir gewone karre nie, veral met die hewige reën die naweek.

Mooi natuurskoon en rustig.

Baie lekker. Mooi area, baie netjies en rustig.

Heerlik ontspan.

Pragtige uitsig oor die water met sonsopkoms!

Ontspanne, lekker gerus. Mooi natuurskoon.

Sal weer daar oornag.

Rustig en waarde vir geld.

Baie lekker rustig. Cabins is baie skoon en goed ingerig. Lieflike stoep om natuur skoon te bewonder. Diens was vinnig en baie goed.

Baie lekker huisies.

Ons het saam met buitelanders hier gebly. Ons het baie lekker gebly en sal die huisies definitief aanbeveel aan ander.

Nice.

Very nice, just very hot

Very peaceful and relaxing.

It was one of the best stays I have had in a long time. The venue is very well equipped, you are not that far from town, and the tranquility is awesome. Just a perfect place to relax and unwind. Will definitely book again.

Uit die boeke.

Dit was heerlik. Het lekker gaan stap en mooi fotos geneem.

Great peaceful cabin stay!

Very nice cabin, beautiful view and total peace. The room was clean and neat, had towels and nice bedding as well as a much needed mosquito net! Overall totally worth the stay. The farm has a nice restaurant on site as well.

Wonderful accommodation but can be better with changes.

Accommodation was mostly excellent. There was however no oven mitts (vatlappies) for when you braai, so had to use the one cloth that the unit had, which is also not near enough. The mosquitoes are also a huge problem and I feel the accommodation should warn visitors to at least bring repellant if not supplying it. It makes a person not able to appreciate the beautiful surroundings after sunset, which takes a lot away from the experience.

Rustige kuier. Die stilte doen die siel goed.

Baie rustig. Ek is seker daarvan dit sal nog mooier wees as die streek reën kry en die dam weer vol is.

Plaas.

Lekker rustig. Plaas.

Rustigheid vir die siel.

Indien jy rustigheid soek, is dit die plek vir jou. Die uitsig oor die dam was baie mooi en was die perfekte plek om ons wittebrood af te skop. Soetdoring is naby die dorp en toeriste-aantrekking geleë.

Hoendersop vir die siel!

Daar is spesiale skoonheid in die Karoo wat mens hier kan waardeer. Wat vir my baie baie spesiaal was, was die plaas kleintjies wat vroegoggend met stralende gesiggies verby loop om vis in die dam te gaan vang. Hulle opgewekte laggies en vriendelike groet het oggendkoffie soveel beter laat proe.

Mooi huisje gelegen in een prachtige omgeving.

Mooi huisje, het benodigde is aanwezig. Vooral de ligging aan het water met talloze watervogels is erg mooi. Het huisje is niet geïsoleerd, waardoor het voor een verblijf met koud weer minder geschikt is.

Perfekte wegbreek vir gesin.

Het baie lekker gebly en gerus, veral die roei geniet en die rustigheid van die natuur.

Heerlike ontspanne wegbreek in 'n mooi omgewing.

Ons het heerlik gebly al was dit erg koud. Het baie rondgestap en voëls gekyk. Die omgewing nog nooit so mooi groen gesien nie. Ongelukkig kon ons nie vleis braai nie, aangesien die buite roosters te vuil was. Daar was nie borste of skuurdraad om dit te skrop nie.

Enjoyed it so much. Beautiful views.

It was a very short stay for us, but we are absolutely returning as soon as we can.

Wonderful stay, right next to a huge dam with tons of bird life.

Baaie lekker, dankie! Excellent value for money. We had a wonderful stay at Soetdoring, the surroundings are beautiful. I only gave 3 stars for client service because the only time I saw anybody is when I went to reception to buy wood. The reception lady was very friendly! We didn't need to check in or check out or even pay a deposit, which is all great! There are lots of little extras in the cabins, the only thing that could be added is a wire brush for the braai grid! Something else worth mentioning is that the cabins smell heavily of wood smoke because the big open kaggel leaks a lot of smoke. To fix that would require installing glass fireplaces inside the existing stone kaggels, but I fear to even suggest this as it would only push up the price! P. S. I gave ligging 4 stars because the place is quite close to the R328 & one hears all the trucks, otherwise it was awesome!

Was heerlik! Sal weer daar gaan bly.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Plek was netjies en uitsig is amazing!

Waarde vir geld.

Baie lekker gebly. Ongelukkig nie die eienaars ontmoet nie. Sleutel was in deur gelos. Ook nie geweet waar om sleutel in te gee nie. Sommer weer in deur gelos toe ons loop. Maar oulike plekkie behoort baie mooi te wees wanneer dam vol is.

Rustic beautiful.

Beautiful location. Getting to the cabin took a long gravel road. It felt a bit unsafe after it rained overnight. The ducks and birds were quite noisy at night.

Serene in some ways, but highly stressful in others.

We enjoyed the tranquil setting, abundant bird life, and rustic atmosphere of the wooden cabin. However, the access road was totally unsuitable for our rental sedan car. Over our 4-day stay, we had to traverse the road several times; each time experiencing high levels of anxiety about damaging the car (no matter how slowly we drove). Cooking facilities and crockery were rudimentary and insufficient. Eating out would have been a good option, if only we had a 4X4 or large SUV with good ground clearance.

Die gereiwe is baie basies vir selfsorg, dalk gerieflik vir 1 nag verblyf.

Effe teleurstellend.

Pragtiige omgewing. Mooi stapomgewing. Verblyf teleurstellend.

Die verwagting was groot. Ons maak gereeld van julle besprekings gebruik. Hierdie was teleurstellend. Die vrieskas was toegevries. Kon eie voorraad nie inkry. Die krane in die badkamer draai in die rondte. Die bank in die sitkamer is gedaan en bitter vuil. Ons moes 'n kombers oorgooi om daarop te kon sit. Daar was 100de vlieë. Mos dorp toe om brander en sitronellaolie te koop. Jy kom afsluit in die bos in 'n houthuis, maar indien standaard nie verhoog word nie, gaan besoekers opraak. Ons was enigste daar in skoolvakansie. In die 4 dae het ons geen personeel of gasheer gesien nie. Jammer ek spreek my so sterk uit, maar die verblyf is nie die geld werd nie.

Heerlike rustige plekkie, met die mooiste natuurskoon.

Dit was heerlik, ons het dit vreeslik geniet.

Amazing.

Amazing country feeling.

Ons het 'n heerlike verblyf gehad.

Dit was lekker om die binnebraai te gebruik. Die dam maak die plek so rustig, veral na die baie reën. Ons sal volgende keer langer bly.

Was baie lekker.

Dit was baie lekker gewees en rustig.

Lekker eenkant, uit die dorp se gewoel.

Pragtige dam met ontelbare hoeveelheid watervoëls. Uitstekende plek om net te rus.

Uniek

Goed toegeruste huisies geskik vir enige weer.

Great stay.

Very relaxing stay. Worth the drive out of Cape Town for the weekend.

Lieflike plek om by oor te bly.

Ons het dit baie geniet om daar oor te bly. Lekker om net buite die dorp te kon wees, sal vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

We enjoyed our stay as it was very remote and peace and quiet as expected.

We intend of coming back again with friends for another getaway holiday.

Fantastiese fasiliteit.

Pragtig, skoon. Alles werk.

Close to the main road, tranquil setting, comfortable cabin.

Soetdoring is close to the main road, in a tranquil setting next to the dam, a very comfortable cabin to overnight in. It would be nice to be able to walk around the dam. We tried, but it was very overgrown. All in all, a lovely spot to stay.

Rustig en ontspannend.

Rustige aand langs die dam. Pragtige natuur en sal volgende keer langer bly.

Pleasant and relaxing. Loved the view on the little dam.

Beautiful, clean, nice walking and bird watching.

Relaxing.

It's a good spot for those who want to get away from the city life and noise, it's really a breath of fresh air, will recommend it to anyone going on vacation.

Very enjoyable.

Beautiful scenery. Close to town.

It was very good except for the things mentioned.

The stay was excellent. However, the place needs to be checked for cleanliness before guests arrive. The last cleaning was on 13 November according to the cleanliness chart. The towels also need to be replaced as they are really worn out. The ceiling fans have spider webs and could not be removed as they are too high. This can be resolved as the place has air conditioning. Also, there were too many switches that were not working, and maybe they can be marked to illustrate which switch is which.

It was amazing, nice hot summer weather.

Nice and quiet environment with epic views. The hosts are very accommodating and always helpful. We could check out at 12 instead of 10h30.

Spectacular location and relaxing stay.

We loved our little cabin - Plover - the indoor fireplace kept us cosy and the king-size bed was super comfortable with amazing linen. The view from the deck over the dam was spectacular - both in the mornings and evenings. Staff were super helpful and attentive. We will most definitely be back.

Fantasties, uitrustend met mooiste sonsopkoms.

Ons het net vir 'n naweek in die "Fish Eagle" eenheid gebly en dit was ongelooflik. Die sonopkoms was asemrowend. Die plek was netjies, volledig ingerig en baie skoon. Ons het heerlik binne kaggel/vuur gemaak (dit het wel bietjie gerook, so kry maar droë hout as jy kan) tydens loadshedding en wens ons kon langer bly.

Weer myself gevind.

Dit was heerlik rustig. Die kano was heerlik om op die dam te roei, lekker pret. Lekker naby dorp, maar net gerus, niks nodig gehad nie. Puik diens vir my vriendin wat in chalet langsaan alleen gebly het en waarvoor hulle 'n ekstra myl gestap het.

Gemaklik en netjies. Pragtige, groot stoep en mooi uitsig.

Heerlike groot kaggel, maar vreeslik gerook in die vertrek. Net 2 koffiebekers, verder baie gemaklik. Luukse linne.

Very nice cabin, birds galore.

We had a very pleasant stay. There was an abundance of birdlife surrounding the cabin. It even got a bit noisy at night with all the frogs and nightlife, but it was still enjoyable. We did encounter some difficulty with the hot plates as the dials were not functioning properly, but overall the cabin was well-equipped with a comfortable bed and mosquito nets, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep.

Heerlik, rustig en ontspanne.

Alles bakgat, aanwysings soos per kaart kan verbeter.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, eenheid was netjies en vir 'n kort kuiertjie het dit alles wat nodig is.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, maar die eenheid was nie 100% skoon nie. Ek dink daar was lanklaas iemand daar, want dit was effe stowwerig en die glase was duidelik lanklaas gewas. Die warmwaterkraan by die kombuiswasbak werk nie, dus moes ek water in die badkamer tap om skottelgoed te was. Daar is ook nie 'n droograk by die kombuiswasbak nie, so skottelgoed moes plat lê. Ek dink vir die prys wat hulle vra, kan hulle darem regtig seker maak die krane werk almal, daar is 'n droograk en die plekkie word afgestof voor die nuwe gaste inklok. En die een gordynreling het aanhou uitval. So, daar is klein bietjie werk nodig.

Rustige en mooi omgewing.

Mooi omgewing en baie rustig langs die dam. Baie om te sien/doen in Oudsthoorn wat nie ver is nie.

Lekker akkommodasie.

Roete op GPS aanvanklik verwarrend. Sit Soetdoring-bord op langs teerpad. Andersins tops.

Rustig by plaasdam.

Mooi houthuis langs die dam met baie waterlewe.

Fantastiese naweek gehad.

Ons het geslaap op 'n heerlike bed, baie mooi uitsig en binnebraai is fantasties vir die winterweer. Dankie, ons het heerlik ontspan.

Absolutely stunning venue, lovely clean warm and plush bed, and great staff.

We will definitely be back to visit again. What a beautiful little gem.

Did not want to leave.

Amazing, clean and amazing service.

Beautiful peace!

Ideal break away, beautiful surroundings. 5 minutes from the town. Very well equipped and everything chosen with care. Will definitely recommend this - especially for a family.

Peace and quiet with beauty everywhere.

We had thee most amazing time and will definitely be going back for a visit. Management and staff are professional and do an excellent job of making this a lovely little getaway place.

Very relaxing.

Had an amazing time at Soetdoring, it is beautiful and well worth it. Had all the amenities we needed, including much needed aircon. Was so relaxing sitting on the deck watching the bird life around the dam. Will definitely recommend and if we are in the area again and will definitely be staying here.

Worth every penny.

We enjoyed our stay very much, and feel that you definitely get value for your money. It's peaceful & beautiful. Unfortunately the one electric blanket was broken when we tried to use it as it was very cold, but other than that we enjoyed our stay very much.

So close to the town, yet feels so far!

A lovely rustic experience! Beautiful surrounds and a very comfy large bed!

Stil en mooi.

Die woon eenhede is skoon en perfek geleë langs die dam. Ons het die absolute rustigheid en pragtige ligging waardeer en geniet. Jy kan van die wêreld vergeet as jy daar is.

Wonderful and very relaxing.

It is a beautiful place, in a unique location. Very chilled surrounded by amazing views and an abundance of bird life.

Goeie ligging, netheid kort aandag.

Die eenheid het netjiese, skoon beddegoed en vloere gehad. Ongelukkig is die eenheid nie verder baie skoon nie. Die eetgerei, ligte, dakwaaiers, gordyne was erg stowwerig, spinnerakke orals (op die dakwaaiers, venster rame, ens). Die rusbank is ook nie meer na wense skoon nie, ons moes ons eie groot kombers oor dit gooi om dit meer leefbaar te maak. WiFi was vir 'n volle dag buite werking gewees.

Pathetic.

Very bad experience. Also the owners do not seem to handle complaints very well.

Amazing stay en beautiful views.

The atmosphere and the surrounding was amazing.

Lovely place, we enjoyed our stay. The local restaurant, De Zeekoe, makes very nice pizza, it is a must and they deliver to your door. Highly recommended, see you next year!

Bring your MTB, sunscreen, enjoy the farm trails and the swimming pool.

Snoesige houthuisie met genoeg op en om die plaas.

Soetdoring se kliëntediens is seepglad, die houthuisies het die pragtigste uitsig en is fantasties ingerig vir 'n gesin met jonger kinders. Die dam is oop, daar is 'n stap/drafroete op die plaas en verskriklik baie om te doen in die omgewing. Ons gaan bly weer daar.

Relaxing, scenic.

We were blown away by the beautiful wood cabins overlooking the dam - the birdlife was really impressive, and we could see the gorgeous snow-topped Swartberge in the distance.

Prentjiemooi, hemel op aarde stukkie plek met die mooiste rustigste atmosfeer.

Ek sal beslis hierdie akkommodasie aanbeveel. Ons sal beslis weer terugkom.

Baie gerieflik en mooi.

Alles was perfek en goed georganiseer. Terugvoering en diens was stiptelik en altyd betyds. Ons sal vir seker weer by Soetdoring gaan bly.

Fantastic

A real gem! Will definitely be back and recommend!

Ongelooflike rustigheid, 'n uitsig om van te droom en 'n huisie wat ons verwagtinge oorskry het!

Ons het (ongelukkig) net een aand oorgebly en noudat ons van hierdie pragtige plek uitgevind het, gaan ons beslis teruggaan vir langer! Ons was baie beïndruk met die kliphuisie waar ons gebly het - lekker snoesige beddegoed en alles in die kombuis wat mens nodig het. Die braai op die stoep (met genoeg hout - baie dankie), was die ideale kuierplek tot laat in die aand. Dankie dat ons op die plaas kon kuier en dat dit soos huis gevoel het!

Dit was die mees fantastiese kuier ooit. Wens ek kon langer bly.

Ek beplan om weer by Soetdoring in te boek. Ek het die braaigeriewe geniet en my metgesel het die kamer geniet. Die plek is asemrowend.

Baie lekker

Baie netjies, skoon en rustig.

Baie lekker gebly.

Baie lekker gebly, pragtige huis toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het. Wonderlike stoep om die sonopkoms en -ondergang dop te hou.

Baie lekker gebly met n pragtige view oor die dam. Ons kon gaan stap op die plaas met die kinders.

Huisie is klein maar dit het als wat jy nodig het. Daar is 'n kaggel/braaiplek binne, maar die huisie raak steeds baie koud in die winter. Gelukkig was daar elektriese komberse op die beddens vir die koue nagte. Sou aanbeveel dat hulle 'n ekstra verwarmertjie verskaf vir die winter.

Baie rustig in die hout cabins langs die dam.

Ons het 'n baie rustige program gehad. Skemer was lekker met die braaivuur en die ganse en eende op die dam, Lekker geroei en ook baie lekker pizza geëet by die Zeekoe plaas se restuarant. Ons program het die Swartberge pas en besoeke aan nabygelëe skouvolstruisplase ingesluit.

Lovely stay, beautiful and peaceful setting.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Soetdoring. Incredible sunsets from the patio. Only thing is that we didn't have a full set of drinking glasses, which have probably been broken in the past and not replaced.

Expensive for what you get.

The cottage kitchens were not well equipped, our toilet stopped filling with water, the other cottage toilets made a big noise every time it flushed.

Pragtige omgewing, onvoldoende akkommodasie.

Die natuurskoon en voëllewe is wonderlik. Die akkommodasie is swak beplan met ondeurdagte dekor en binne-uitleg.
