Rustig en mooi.

Rustig in die natuur. Geen stadsgewoel, gerus, heelwat voëls wat in bosse en bome om huisie rondspring en eet. Baie lekker in die aand in die donker op die stoep. Huisie is goed ingerig.

Quiet and beautiful.

Quiet in nature. No city hustle and bustle, rest assured, lots of birds jumping and eating in the bushes and trees around the house. Very nice in the evening in the dark on the stoep. Cottage is well furnished.

Waarde vir geld verblyf in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Die huisie was baie netjies en ten spyte van die hitte buite, verstommend koel binne.

A relaxing stay on a working farm.

I stayed in Aloe Cottage - beautiful and well appointed. It had all the amenities one could ask for and a wonderful piquant little braai with braai grid included. The cottage is well situated with lots of vegetation to create privacy, but it is both a working farm and situated fairly near the main house. The hosts are awesome, so it was perfect for me, but I wouldn't choose it for a romantic getaway. I would gladly go back.

A most relaxing time in a beautiful setting at the base of the mountains.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Country Garden. For a weekend of wanting to be away from it all, this was the place. Very quiet with only nature's sounds around. We had everything we needed.

Baie rustig.

Die woonplek is baie netjies, maar hulle kan gerus 'n beter braaiplek voorsien. Die bosse om die huisie moet meer skoon gemaak word om die vallei te kan waardeer. Daar is geen selfoonopvangs nie.

Very calm.

The place of residence is very neat, but they can easily provide a better braai place. The woods around the cottage need to be cleared more to be able to appreciate the valley. There is no mobile reception.

Teleurstellend.

Ongelukkig het ons die plekkie as klein en beknop beleef. In die kombuis is sagte banke ook wat beweging rondom die tafel bemoeilik. Daar is ook net 'n klein yskas en dit vir 6 mense! Vir alle praktiese doeleindes is daar geen hangplek in die kamers nie. Veral die derde kamer is baie klein.

Disappointing.

Unfortunately, we experienced the place as small and cramped. In the kitchen there are also soft sofas that make movement around the table difficult. There is also only a small fridge and that for 6 people! For all practical purposes there is no hanging space in the rooms. The third room in particular is very small.

The Country Garden 's response

Ons is regtig jammer dat u nie heeltemaal tevrede was met die verblyf nie.
Sunflower Cottage is ons grootste huisie met 3 slaapkamers en 'n kombuis/leefarea. Daar is een groot slaapkamer, een mediumgroot en een net 'n bietjie kleiner. Die groter twee slaapkamers het elk 2 driekwartbeddens en die derde kamer wat bietjie kleiner is, het twee enkel beddens. Ongelukkig kan ons niks doen aan die grootte van die slaapkamer tensy ons mure verskuif. Hierdie huisie is ideaal vir gesinne met kinders. Ons het tydens u drie nagte verblyf nog twee huisies oop gehad en, as u my laat weet het dat daar nie genoeg ruimte was nie, het ons met blydskap vir al drie paartjies hulle eie huisie gegee om in te slaap. Dit sou dieselfde gekos het.
Ons het onlangs sagte banke in die huisie gesit om dit meer gemaklik te maak vir ons gaste om te ontspan. Ek is jammer as dit die beweging om die tafel bemoeilik het, maar my redenasie was dat as mens aan die tafel sit, dan sit niemand op die bank nie. Anders kan 'n mens mos aan die ander kant van die tafel sit terwyl iemand op die bank sit. Ons rede was hier om gemaklike plekke vir sit en lees en gesels te skep. Dus is ons ook jammer vir die ongerief.
Daar is 'n lekker bedekte stoep met nog 'n tafel buite en die meeste mense sit ook maar daar want dan geniet hulle van die mooi natuur om hulle.
Daar is 'n lekker vuurmaakplek in die kombuis en dit vat maar ook 'n deel van die muur, maar maak dit lekker warm en gesellig in die winter.
Ons sal weer gaan kyk en sien hoe ons die leefruimte kan verbeter om dit minder beknop te maak.

Ons maak self as gesin die huisies skoon en stel dit hoog in prys dat ons plekkies altyd baie skoon en netjies is. As daar enige tekortkominge is, hoor ons dit graag van ons gaste sodat ons dit kan regstel en verbeter.

Ons vra verskoning vir die klein yskassie, maar as u vir ons laat weet het dat dit 'n probleem was, het ons dit dadelik uitgeruil met 'n groter yskas wat toe op besoek was by 'n ander huisie.

Ons probeer regtig om waarde vir geld te gee. Ons huisies is almal goed ingerig met alles wat nodig is vir braai en kook. Yskas, mikrogolf, gasstoofies, eetgerei, opwasmiddel, vaddoeke, toaster, ens. Daar is ook skoon handdoeke en toiletpapier. Daar is koffie en tee en suiker beskikbaar in die huisies. Ons het die mooiste natuurskoon om ons. Elke huisie is apart en privaat. Dit is veilig hier. Daar is altyd iemand hier op die plaas om te help. Ons het skape, bokke, konyne, hoenders vir gaste om te voer en melk. Ons het lieflike honde wat waak en ook baie lief is vir ons gaste.

Ons hoop julle sal weer kom bly en ons verbeterde huisies ervaar. Ons is ook tans besig met verbeterings aan al die huisies. Ons swembad is nou ook oorgedoen en is mooi blou met 'n lekker afdak. Sal binnekort nuwe foto's kan deel.
Hoop ons sien julle weer.

The cottage was really lovely amd had everything you need. I don't think the roof is insulated, so it can get very cold inside, but the fireplace makes up for it. It is a lovely place and the walk on the farm was great.

Lekker rustig.

Hier kan kinders plaas op sy beste ervaar en jy kan die hond ook saamvat. Jy moet ook die konfyt probeer wat op die plaas gemaak word van hulle eie vrugte en groente. Lekker!

Here children can experience the farm at its best and you can also take the dog along. You should also try the jam that is made on the farm from their own fruits and vegetables. Nice!

Ideale plek vir naweek en om heeltemal te ontspan.

Ons kuier was kort, maar dis baie mooi daar. Vriendelike gasvrou en netjiese, skoon akkommodasie. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel. Gasteplaas is effens afgeleë so ons sou 'n bietjie melk waardeer het en natuurlik lampolie, want dit was beurtkrag ook.

Ideal place for weekend and to completely relax.

Our visit was short, but it's very beautiful there. Friendly hostess and neat, clean accommodation. Would definitely recommend it. Gasteplaas is a bit remote so we would have appreciated some milk and of course lamp oil as it was load shedding too.

Pragtige, netjiese, versorgde ou plaashuis in die stilte van die Klein Karoo. Heerlik gekuier!

Die hoflikheid van die jongeling Thomas by ontvangs was prysenswaardig. Dankie jongman dat jy ons so welkom laat voel het.

So 'n rustige wegbreek.

Ek het so 'n bietjie soos Heidi gevoel, in die berge met die diertjies en die ongelooflike stilte. Perfekte wegbreek. En ons 1 jarige het haarself amper morsdood gespeel.

Ons het vreeslik lekker op die stoep gesit en die stilte geniet op die plaas.

Die kinders het die diere baie geniet en die vriendelikheid van die gesin se kinders. Ons kon ons hondekind ook saamneem. Dit was 'n heerlike naweek baie goed vir die siel. Ons het die stilte van die natuur baie geniet. Weg van die stad se gejaag. Die huisie was baie gerieflik en skoon. Alles wat jy nodig het is daar.
