Overberg op sy mooiste.

Heerlik gekuier. Die cottage het alles wat mens nodig het. Die melk in die yskas en die broodjie was 'n welkome verrassing! Die uitsig van die stoep is prentjie mooi met Augustus se koring groen en canola geel. Die honde kon ook lekker hul bene strek op die plaaspaaie.

Overberg at its most beautiful.

Had a great time. The cottage has everything one needs. The milk in the fridge and the bun were a welcome surprise! The view from the porch is picture perfect with August's wheat green and canola yellow. The dogs could also stretch their legs on the farm roads.

Brilliantly simple and beautiful.

Beautiful scenic landscapes with everything you need to unwind. There are animals on the farm which you can visit if you choose. Clean, quiet, safe and neat place where you can braai regardless of the weather. Communication was excellent throughout the stay and the host really goes the extra mile to make your stay perfect. We will definitely be visiting again.

Wat 'n heerlike, rustige lang naweek saam met die familie!

Wat 'n rustige lang naweek! Ons was so welkom laat voel en was ontvang met 'n vars gebakte suurdeeg broodjie. Heerlik! Die gasvrou het uit haar pad gegaan om seker te maak ons is ingesettle, het als en is gemaklik. Haar man het tot ons kom help met 'n vuur toe ons vergeet het om blits te koop. Oops! Die hoogtepunt vir die kinders was die lammertjies bottel te gee en hulle kon soveel keer as wat hulle wil die lammertjies voer met voedingstyd. Die diere was so 'n plesier! Die kinders het die plaas plat gestap. Die gasvrou het selfs ons nog 'n aand gratis aangebied, waar doen mense dit nog deesdae. Ongelukkig moes ons terug huis toe. Dit was nou 'n baie lekker plaaservaring! Ons kom definitief weer kuier! Baie dankie.

What a lovely, peaceful long weekend with the family!

What a peaceful long weekend! We were made to feel so welcome and were greeted with a freshly baked sourdough bun. Delicious! The hostess went out of her way to make sure we were settled, fed and comfortable. Her husband came to help us with a fire when we forgot to buy flashlights. Oops! The highlight for the children was giving the lambs a bottle and they could feed the lambs as many times as they wanted at feeding time. The animals were such a delight! The children flattened the farm. The hostess even offered us another night for free, where do people still do that these days. Unfortunately we had to go back home. Now that was a very nice farm experience! We will definitely visit again! Thank you very much.

Selfsorg akkommodasie op 'n werkende plaas.

Verbyf het nie aan ons behoeftes en standaard voldoen nie, die meubels en elektriese toebehore is baie oud. Die linne en handoeke is afgeleef. Daar was nie seep by wasbak nie ook nie 'n handdoek nie. Die vorige besoekers se hond se poop was nie opgetel nie en ons moes dit self optel, die vuilwasgoed was net so in die eenheid by die deur gelos, wat nie 'n lekker ondervinding is nie. Moet nie dink jy kan laat slaap nie, dis 'n werkende plaas en die Saterdagoggend, voor 5 uur die oggend, het die gewerskaf en trekkers ons wakker gemaak. Die gasvrou was vriendelik en het ons met 'n vars gebakte broodjie bederf.

Self catering accommodation on a working farm.

Accommodation did not meet our needs and standard, the furniture and electrical appliances are very old. The linen and towels are shabby. There was no soap at the sink, nor a towel. The previous visitors dog poo was not picked up and we had to pick it up ourselves, the dirty laundry was just left in the unit by the door, which is not a nice experience. Don't think you can stay up late, it's a working farm and on Saturday morning, before 5 o'clock in the morning, the plowing and tractors woke us up. The hostess was friendly and treated us to a freshly baked bun.

Liewe Ronel,

Ek was verbaas toe ek jou resensie gelees het, maar ek waardeer jou eerlikheid. Ek is egter bietjie verward oor jou versoeke om dit te verwyder nadat jy dit geskryf het. Ek hoop ons kan hierdie saam bespreek.

Jy noem dat die verblyf nie aan julle behoeftes en standaarde voldoen het nie, maar ek wil net bevestig dat ons ons bes probeer doen om te verseker dat ons dierevriendelike akkommodasie op die plaas bied. Ons het onlangs ons elektriese toebehore vervang, so ek is nie seker wat jy bedoel met "verouderd" nie.

Met betrekking tot die seep en sjampoe, dit is inderdaad 'n selfsorg eenheid, so ons vra gewoonlik gaste om hul eie toiletware saam te bring. Ek is jammer dat die linne vergeet was, ek waardeer jou begripvolle houding daaroor. Wat die hondepoep betref, dis 'n uitdagende aspek van ons plaaslewe met die diere wat vry rondloop, maar ons doen ons bes om dit skoon te hou.

Ek onthou ons geselsie voor julle vertrek, en dit was heerlik om te hoor dat julle die tyd by ons geniet het. Ek waardeer die foto's wat jy gestuur het en die positiewe terugvoer wat jy met ons gedeel het.

Ek is jammer dat daar 'n misverstand is ontstaan, en ek hoop ons kan dit uitklaar. As daar enige verdere terugvoer is wat jy met my wil deel, staan ek reg om te luister.

Wonderful few days in an absolutely beautiful place.

We had such a wonderful stay. Starting the morning with a cup of coffee surrounded by those green, rolling hills with the farm sounds around us was heavenly. Children had so much space to roam, cycling and playing with the sheep and the friendly dog. Driving next door to observe the kudus, springbok and zebra was also a real treat.

Veilige plekkie wat baie netjies is en die eienaars is baie vriendelik!

Die Aloe Cottage is 'n baie lekker, skoon en netjiese huisie waar mens kan ontspan. Dis 'n goeie basis om die res van die area te verken. Jy het 'n opsie van 'n binne braai en 'n buite braai en die leef area, stoep en kombuis is goed ingerig sodat mens lekker kan kuier daar. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel.

Absoluut fantasties!

Ons het heerlik gekuier op die plaas! Gawie se moeite met die seuns was 'n groot bederf! Van trekker ry tot eiers uithaal en hans lammers melk gee. As dit reën is daar lekker dinge op die dorp om met die kinders te doen. Fairy sanctuary, Bee things, Wilderbraamplaas, ens. Dis sak vol waterblommetjies wat Gawe en Marthie uit hul dam vir ons gegee het was die cherry op die koek! Julle sien ons beslis weer!

Great location on a working farm, comfortable and functional, and warm and friendly hosts and staff.

The cottage was not quite ready when we arrived after a long, cold and wet cycle ride, so our hosts treated us to a few glasses of good red wine and got a roaring fire going. All in all a great place to overnight or spend a few days exploring. In the heart of a working wheat and sheep farm.

Onvergeetlike ondervinding met die vriendelikste, gasvryste ontvangs ooit!

In al die jare wat ons regoor die land vakansie hou is Aloe Cottage die mees onvergeetlike ondervinding. Gawie en Marthie en hulle seun Dirk se gasvryheid en hartlikheid laat jou voel of jy familie is. Niks is vir hulle te veel moeite nie, en hulle wil net altyd meer doen. Die huisie is pragtig en volledig toegerus en die rustigheid van die plaas is sielekos, met springbokkies wat net buite die stoep wei. Die lapa en wild is ook 'n ondervinding op hulle eie, en ons sien uit daarna om nog eendag in die ossewa of in die ou huis wat tans gerestoureer word, te gaan bly. Baie, baie dankie vir die lekkerste paar dae van ons hele vakansie, Cloeteskraal se mense.

Unforgettable experience with the friendliest, most hospitable reception ever!

In all the years we have holidayed across the country, Aloe Cottage is the most memorable experience. Gawie and Marthie and their son Dirk's hospitality and warmth make you feel like you are family. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they just always want to do more. The cottage is beautiful and fully equipped and the tranquility of the farm is soul food, with spring goats grazing just outside the porch. The lapa and game are also an experience on their own, and we look forward to one day staying in the oxcart or in the old house which is currently being restored. Many, many thanks for the best few days of our entire holiday, Cloeteskraal's people.

Aloe Cottage is ideaal vir mense wat net wil wegbreek en ontspan, skoon lug inasem en die plaaslewe beleef. Die springbokke is 'n daaglikse gesig sommer so van die stoep af. Die eienaars gee die woord gasvryheid nuwe betekenis. Die blyplek is naby genoeg vir dagbesoekers aan De Hoop om walvisse te besigtig. Ons kan Aloe Cottage ten sterkste aanbeveel!

Lovely, peaceful farm stay with exceptionally hospitable owners.

Aloe Cottage is ideal for people who just want to get away and relax, breathe clean air and experience farm life. The springboks are a daily sight just like that from the stoep. The owners give new meaning to the word hospitality. The accommodation is close enough for day visitors to De Hoop to see whales. We can highly recommend Aloe Cottage!

Perfekte naweek wegbreek.

Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd by die Aloe Cottage gehad. Dit is perfek vir 'n gesin met klein kinders wat net wil wegkom van als wat besig is en bietjie tyd in die natuur spandeer. Ons 2 jarige seuntjie het dit so vreeslik geniet en wou nie vir 'n minuut stilsit nie. Daar is springbokkies reg voor mens se huisie en 'n paar skape en lammertjies wat baie mak is. Dis regtig wonderlik om bietjie van 'n plaaslewe te ervaar. Jy kan in die middag lekker vars melk gaan haal en jou eie eiers kry - enige kind se droom. Daar is 'n baie lekker braaiplek buite en die huisie is volledig toegerus met als wat mens benodig. Marthie en die plaas personeel was baie gasvry. Ons sal verseker weer terug wees.

Perfect weekend getaway.

We had a wonderful time at the Aloe Cottage. It is perfect for a family with small children who just want to get away from everything that is busy and spend some time in nature. Our 2 year old boy enjoyed it so much and didn't want to sit still for a minute. There are spring goats right in front of one's house and some sheep and lambs that are very tame. It's really great to experience a bit of farm life. In the afternoon, you can fetch fresh milk and get your own eggs - any child's dream. There is a very nice barbecue area outside and the house is fully equipped with everything you need. Marthie and the farm staff were very hospitable. We will definitely be back again.

Baie nice en rustig.

Aloe Cottage is baie netjies en lieflik. Dit was baie nice om Marthie te ontmoet, sy was baie vriendelik. Dit is ideaal vir paartjies wat 'n wegbreek soek.

Was 'n unieke en baie wonderlike ervaring om uit die stad te wees en die rustigheid van die plaas-opset te ervaar! Baie dankbaar vir die plekkie en ek sal graag weer daar gaan kuier!

Dit is ook gerieflik naby aan die De Hoop-reservaat teen die kus, asook Marloth-reservaat met pragtige proteas en ander natuurskoon in Swellendam. Baie bevoorreg om so naby aan die natuur te kom!

Unique and wonderful experience away from the city and to experience the peace and tranquility of the farm! Really appreciated it and I want to visit again.

Conveniently close to De Hoop Nature Reserve by the coast, also Marloth Reserve with beautiful proteas and nature in Swellendam. Was wonderful to get so close to nature.

Baie lekker.

Behalwe dat ons verdwaal het a.g.v. verkeerde aanwysings het ons baie lekker gebly en die eienaars is wonderlike mense. Ek sal enige iemand aanraai om daar te gaan bly.

Ongelooflike mooi en rustig.

Waar kan jy nog jou botteltjie vat en gaan melk haal en soggens jou eiers gaan uithaal vir ontbyt? Dit was so rustig en daar is baie plek om te stap. Ook baie voëls om te kyk. Die plekkie is lekker ingerig en baie skoon en netjies en die gasvrou baie vriendelik. Dit was vir ons so lekker ons sal beslis weer gaan.

Incredibly beautiful and peaceful.

Where else can you take your bottle and go get milk and take out your eggs for breakfast in the morning? It was so peaceful and there is a lot of space to walk. Also lots of birds to watch. The place is nicely furnished and very clean and tidy and the hostess very friendly. It was so much fun for us, we will definitely go again.

Great value and relaxing.

Great value for money as well as situated in a beautiful setting on a dairy farm. Well situated to get to De Hoop Nature reserve. Loved seeing the cows coming home to be milked, free milk, eggs and wood supplied by our hosts. Having sundowners with cats and dogs and sunrises with the springboks. Will be back if in the area and recommend to friends and family.

Pragtige plek en alles wat mens benodig - lieflike ligging!

Omring deur heuwels en groen landerye en prag en diere wat jou vroeg roep - te heerlik as jy stilte soek. My dogtertjie was so opgewonde omdat sy self kon gaan eiers uithaal vir ontbyt. Ons het heerlik gerus en dis net wat mens nodig het om jou batterye te herlaai. Ek sal beslis weer gaan.

Beautiful place and everything you need - lovely location!

Surrounded by hills and green fields and splendor and animals that call you early - too lovely if you seek silence. My little girl was so excited because she could go get eggs for breakfast herself. We had a great rest and that's just what you need to recharge your batteries. I will definitely go again.
