Simply lovely!
Wonderful beautiful environment. Beautiful neat house. Large porch and delicious "hot tub" with a view of mountains and river. However, Fish Eagle is the only house that is not under shade trees and with 30 plus degrees we wished we were in one of the other houses under the shade trees. Next time we will bring fans and an umbrella for coolness over the hot tub. But the heat did not spoil the wonderful canoeing, beautiful hiking trails and general bliss of being surrounded by natural beauty. was also super helpful and quick to respond to any questions/requests.

Breathtaking and incredibly beautiful and delicious.
The weekend away was everything we hoped for and more. We were there for my mother's 60th birthday, just us and the family. It felt like we were alone in our own paradise, we had so much privacy and the kids had so much space to play. The house itself is incredibly beautiful and has so much space. Not once did either of us feel like we were in each other's way. The house offers everything one needs. The horses grazing near the house are a sight to behold with the trees and mountain background. The children of course really enjoyed the horses, they are so tame and come right up to the little fence. It was so peaceful and picturesque that we just didn't want to go back home. It was nothing short of perfect.

Weekend getaway in nature.
Somerset Gift Getaway Farm is located on a beautiful farm. The dirt road was still comfortably passable in terms of the recent heavy rains. The residential units are far enough from each other, so that all the residents can still enjoy their privacy. Children can play carefree in nature. The self-catering units are well equipped with everything one needs for a weekend getaway. Our hostess was extremely helpful and always available via WhatsApp.

An absolute disaster!
The Manor House 's response
We had no control over a transformer blowing, but the electricity was back within 3 hours. Our manager was on holiday, and usually, she pops in the day after guests arrive. Somerset Gift Getaway Farm is not a guesthouse but self-catering units, and all our other guests are content to go straight to their cottage upon arrival and make themselves at home. We were, however, confused at the abusive messages we received from these guests during their stay, despite our best efforts to explain that we are reliant on Eskom to resolve the 4-hour power outages (not much worse than load shedding). The very next day after their departure, we got an enquiry for them to come again in December.

Stunning farm with views in all directions and plenty to do.
The farm brings tranquility to the soul, silence to the soul and picturesque scenes to the senses. Our little kids really enjoyed it; the walk to the river, the fishing, the play park, lawns, rowing and the 'swim' in the hot tub. The accommodation is comfortable, but not luxurious, however, there is everything needed in the kitchen and house.

Wonderful environment.
The outdoor bathroom in the log cabin is a bit awkward to reach in the dark. The mat in the bathroom was really not clean. Will choose a different unit than Little Bushbuck if I go again. Most self-catering units do provide coffee and tea and sugar, which was not the case here. The soap was very small. Still don't know if the liquid in the old water bottle next to the sink might be laundry soap or cleaning agent, it is not indicated.

We really enjoyed the little plac. The quiet, beautiful nature is surely something to experience. Nice and far away from the noise and rush. Get a nice magazine or book, and a nice cup of coffee, sit on the patio the entire day and enjoy the beautiful area.

Loerie Cottage, cute unit, well equipped. The children really enjoyed the large lawn, however, this unit was close to the dam which could be unsafe for small children. The fireplace was definitely a winner. We will definitely be returning for another holiday.

Ons het elke oomblik van ons kort kuier in dié stukkie paradys geniet. Die onverwagte sneeu en pragtige waterval reg op die deurstoep was 'n absolute bonus tot die natuurskoon.

We enjoyed every moment of our short visit in this piece of paradise. The unexpected snow and beautiful waterfall right on the doorstep was an absolute bonus to the scenery.
We really had a great time in the Rose Cottage. Would just like a comfortable easy chair or two in the unit. The two couches/beds are probably enough for most people, but for those of us (older generation) who like to just sit and hang out, it would be desirable to be able to sit in a nice deep chair and read, knit, or whatever. In addition, all the other amenities and utilities were all there and in good working order. The natural beauty and surroundings are definitely a big plus for this destination.

Pleasant, quiet abode that radiates peace.
We stayed at Loerie Guesthouse. They have a wonderful view and a lovely veranda where you can sit and admire it. You do have to park a little way away from the house, which makes it a little difficult if you have difficulty with mobility. It does not change the fact that we had a wonderful night there. The fireplace in the bedroom was a bonus.

It was wonderful to wake up in nature and clean air with the farm animals around us.
The guests must be informed in advance that the water on the farm is acidic/brackish, so that they can bring more freshly filtered water to drink. One 5 liter is not enough. Our friends did not want to use the water. There was no one to welcome us. It wasn't really a problem - we just slept over and it was nice.

Comfortable and cute getaway. Peaceful and beautiful.
Amazing place and stunning location. We would just like to make a cup of coffee/tea. The road is pretty bad and I might mention that on the website. No extra blankets or pillows available. Well wood, lightning and matches for a fire. It is very neat and clean and we would definitely recommend it.
