"Erholsam".

Baie rustig. Doodstil in die nagte. Mooi uitsig. Baie mooi toegeruste chalets. Goeie hengelgeleenthede met 10 damme.

10 out of 10. Magnificent.

Excellent host, Anna, friendliness and helpful. Complimentary Easter eggs, honey and lots more. Felt like home, stunning views, with a lot of dams. Kids enjoy it a lot, with our fur children also. Will definitely return.

We had a very relaxing time.

We stayed in Agapanthus Cottage. It was well equipped with all the cooking and braaiing equipment. It was clean and neat. Even when it rained, there were enough facilities to still braai.

Lekker gebly saam met ons viervoetige kinders.

Ons was vriendelik ontvang en na ons huisie geneem. Vars eiers, jam en beskuit verskaf vanaf die plaas. Dit was baie lekker! Honde het die water en die plaas geniet! Daar is nie opvangs of WiFi nie, maar ook nie 'n probleem nie - net iets wat dalk vooraf genoem moet word. Die huisies werk op solar en batterykrag, ons het net die een vroegoggend sonder krag wakker geword (al het ons krag baie spaarsamig gebruik) - maar toe die son opkom, was daar weer krag. Ons het lekker gebly.

Nice stay with our four-legged children.

We were kindly received and taken to our cottage. Fresh eggs, jam and biscuits provided from the farm. It was very nice! Dogs enjoyed the water and the farm! There is no reception or WiFi, but not a problem either - just something that might need to be mentioned in advance. The cottages run on solar and battery power, we only woke up one early morning without power (even though we used power very sparingly) - but when the sun came up, there was power again. We had a nice stay.

Fantastic long weekend spent at Talbot Trout Farm. Fishing did not disappoint! Peaceful quiet surroundings with a brilliant star-filled night sky. Thank you for the rusks, jam and muffins. It was a nice treat. We will be back soon!

A delightful getaway, everything about the place was perfect.

It was an absolutely delightful stay! A perfect getaway from city life. We stayed at the Agapanthus cottage. Please don't expect anything fancy, it is an escape after all. The cottage was clean, with basic toiletries provided as well as tea and coffee. It is all solar/gas powered. It's important to know there is no TV and microwave, also no internet connection - perhaps this is what I loved most about the place. My two dogs enjoyed themselves, very spacious outside area. The manager was very polite and checked up on us. Will definitely be back.

Rus vir die siel.

Ons het die twee dae op die plaas baie geniet saam met vier van ons honde. Elke dag het ons so 12 km gaan stap in die berge tussen die wild. Sorg dat jou hond goed aan 'n halsband kan loop vir maklike stap. Die behuising was gerieflik. Neem vir jou 'n boek saam om te lees, want daar is nie 'n televisie nie. Vodacom vang ook nie daar op nie, selgs MTN. Hulle is volledig toegerus vir load shedding. Jy kan net nie jou hare droogblaas nie, so wees rustig en vergeet van mooi lyk. Ek sal vir seker weer soontoe gaan.

Rest for the soul.

We really enjoyed the two days on the farm with four of our dogs. Every day we went for a 12 km walk in the mountains among the wildlife. Make sure your dog can walk well on a collar for easy walking. The housing was comfortable. Take a book with you to read, because there is no television. Vodacom is not catching up there either, even MTN. They are fully equipped for load shedding. You just can't blow dry your hair, so take it easy and forget about looking good. I will go there again for sure.

Perfekte winters wegbreek.

Ons was verras met vars gebak te kaas muffins vir ontbyt. Iets wat ons glad nie verwag het nie en iets wat nie elke dag gebeur nie.

We were surprised with freshly baked cheese muffins for breakfast. Something we didn't expect at all and something that doesn't happen every day.

Beautiful farms, great fishing, great hospitality from Jens & Anna.

The lodge perfectly serves the needs and the farm is beautiful. We had an excellent week at Talbot. Dams are well stocked and fishing was excellent. I released 27 trout caught over five days, of which at least five were brown trout.

Uitsonderlike verblyf in 'n asemrowende omgewing.

Ons het aanvanklik 2 aande in Agapanthus Kothuis bespreek, maar toe ons verblyf met nog een aand verleng. Verblyf was netjies, gerieflik en mooi. Private verblyf met 'n uitsig en toegang op 'n private foreldam. Die toe erf met tuin en braaigeriewe was baie geskik vir ons Staffie wat ook die lekker stap soggens op die plaas baie geniet het. Die eienaar, Jens, en sy plaasbestuurder, MJ, was baie vriendelik en gasvry. Ons is met gekookte konfyte, en gebakte lekkernye bederf. Die omgewing op die plaas is regtig baie stil en rustig. Plaas is uitsonderlik vir stap, forel visvang en voëlkyk.

Exceptional accommodation in a breathtaking setting.

We initially booked 2 nights in Agapanthus Kothuis, but then extended our stay by one more night. Accommodation was neat, comfortable and beautiful. Private accommodation with a view and access to a private trout pond. The closed yard with garden and braai facilities was very suitable for our Staffie who also really enjoyed the nice walk in the morning on the farm. The owner, Jens, and his farm manager, MJ, were very friendly and hospitable. We were spoiled with boiled jams, and baked goodies. The environment on the farm is really very quiet and peaceful. Farm is exceptional for walking, trout fishing and bird watching.

Beautiful, peaceful place.

It is the place we will definitely come back. Clear air, singing birds waking you in the morning. Mountains around inviting you for hiking, fly fishing and most important - so quiet.

Thanks so much, Ewa. Looking forward to having you back soon.
We will have a total of 9 dams from December 2022 onwards.

'n Onvergeetlike wegbreek.

Alles en nog meer wat ons verwag het. Prentjiemooi. Ons honde het 'n fees gehad. Dis die klein detail wat belangrik is. Anna is 'n wonderlike gasvrou en het ons bederf met heerlike beskuit, vars mielie poffers met marmelade. Mooiste uitsig, die foto's doen die instansie nie justice nie. Ons daaglikse besoekers was die rescue donkies wat brood uit jou hand uit eet. Die instansie word goed onderhou. Ek sou op niks kon verbeter nie.

An unforgettable getaway.

Everything and more we expected. Picture pretty. Our dogs had a feast. It's the small detail that is important. Anna is a wonderful hostess and spoiled us with delicious biscuits, fresh corn puffs with marmalade. Most beautiful view, the photos do not do the institution justice. Our daily visitors were the rescue donkeys who eat bread out of your hand. The institution is well maintained. I wouldn't be able to improve on anything.
