Uiters oorprys, glad nie skoon nie, alle stoffering ruik erg muf asook eenheid.

Neem asb kennis dat die hele eenheid 'n baie skerp mufreuk het. Throws kan bv. glad nie gebruik word nie. Ek sou glad nie die hoekie waar die bunkbed is, kon gebruik nie. Die kombuis was vol stof, selfs spinnerakke op broodrooster. Pan binne kas is bruinvuil. Hierdie is ongelukkig 'n voorbeeld van 'n gastehuis wat nie in stand gehou is nie. Privaatheid is nie 'n prioriteit nie. Óf die hele eenheid moet uitgeverf en materiale vervang word, of die prys per nag moet ten minste halveer word. Ons het vroeër huis toe gegaan en maar die geld afgeskryf. Ek hoop hulle dateer hul webwerf op om hierdie te voorkom. Oppas vir 'n gastehuis wat "streng" is met kansellasie en boonop vereis dat mens totale bedrag betaal voor jy arriveer!

Extremely overpriced, not clean at all, all upholstery smells very musty as well as unit.

Please note that the entire unit has a very strong musty smell. Throws can e.g. not used at all. I wouldn't be able to use the corner where the bunk bed is at all. The kitchen was full of dust, even cobwebs on toaster. Pan inside cabinet is brown dirt. This is unfortunately an example of a guest house that has not been maintained. Privacy is not a priority. Either the entire unit needs to be painted out and materials replaced, or the price per night needs to be at least halved. We used to go home and just write off the money. I hope they update their website to prevent this. Beware of a guest house that is "strict" with cancellation and moreover requires one to pay total amount before you arrive!

Onvergeetlike verblyf soos in 'n paradys.

Dit is die mooiste plek om te bly. Ruim, skoon, in die natuur en die vriendelikste mense. Ek sal graag weer daar wil gaan bly.

A piece of heaven!

Magoebaskloof Mountain Estate is exquisite - peace and tranquility. A piece of heaven! Beyond beautiful and neat. The teenagers enjoyed themselves thoroughly and those beds were considered their own kingdoms!

Baie aangenaam.

Die eienaars is baie gasvry, en het regtig seker gemaak dat ons niks kort nie. Pragtige, skoon en gemaklike verblyf. Ligging is pragtig, en is dit werklik 'n plek waar mens kan ontspan en net die mooi uitsig geniet. Baie dankie Rene, ons het heerlik gebly.

Good facilities, lovely view, great hosts ─ power supply is a very real problem.

Bring your own flashlight! We left Magoesbasfloof Mountain Estate (the Dungeon) before our stay expired because of the prolonged and frequent power failures (this was not load shedding). Excluding the travel days, of the 3 full days we spent at Magoebaskloof Mountain Estate, 2 days were without power. The specific issue was around planned maintenance from Eskom which were communicated to the locals, but only communicated to us when the first day without power arrived. We were left with two candles in the unit and could not really self-cater without the electricity and had to spend more time away from the unit than we planned. The staff did acknowledge that power supply is often a problem for them especially in summer. The unit itself is good and has everything you need (when there is power) and the views and location is great. As for the hosts, they are lovely people, they tried to compensate for the frequent power failures by offering us a free breakfast at the boma close by. They also helped us to pick up a package which was really going the extra mile in that regard. Worth-while place to stay if not for power problems.

Magoebaskloof Mountain Estate 's response

As a host I agree, it's been a harsh week with no power, and it was off much longer when a fire created more electrical downtime. We were informed on very short notice, at 7:55 am on 29th via WhatsApp that it would be off for the day, and it was off longer than they said it would be in their notice, as well as a day or 2 further in the week. As a host, I was not prepared for this. This would drive anyone crazy, and puts hosts in a very awkward position when the municipalities do not keep maintenance up to date or inform us on number 99. Thank you for being so graceful about this huge issue that you experience during your stay, we were all totally caught off guard. I am so grateful that this does not always happen, you really had a raw deal with the power.

Hierdie plekkie is ongelooflik, idillies, super luuks en die uitsig oor Magoebaskloof - ons was sonder woorde. Die mense is super vriendelik en gasvry, pryse baie billik, ons het soos familie gevoel. Wat 'n perfekte plekkie. ons sal dit beslis weer besoek.

Pragtige omgewing en goed ingerigte akkommodasie.

Wat 'n voorreg om hier te kon bly! Pragtige omgewing en uitsig. Die akkommodasie is skoon en goed ingerig. Maria is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik! My dogters het die eienaars se diere baie geniet. Ons kan die akkommodasie regtig aanbeveel.

‘n Stukkie hemel op aarde!

Die Dungeon het ons verwagtinge oortref. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die ligging is fantasties. Selfs met reën weer kon ons lekker op stoep sit en ontspan. Ons was nooit bekommerd oor veiligheid nie. Volgende keer neem ek die gesin saam!

Dit was onvergeetlik!

Magoebaskloof Mountain Estate het ons stoutste verwagtinge oortref! Die ligging, die uitsig, die natuurskoon, die gasvryheid van René en Rudi was ongelooflik! Dit is 'n juweel vir natuurliefhebbers en dié op soek na rustigheid, weg van stadsgeraas. Die verblyf was baie skoon en netjies en ons eenheid en braaier is elke dag gediens. Ons gesin sal die paar hemelse dae by Magoebaskloof Mountain Estate nog lank onthou.

It is a gem for nature lovers and those looking for tranquility, away from city noise. The accommodation was very clean and tidy and our unit and braai were serviced every day. Our family will long remember the few heavenly days at Magoebaskloof Mountain Estate.

Uitsonderlike gasvryheid, uitstekende ligging - ware wegbreek!

The Dungeon is privaat dog naby genoeg aan die eienaars om dadelik diens of hulp te kry. Ons het 'n heerlike dog kort wegbreek gehad. Die plekkie se interior is stylvol, maar ook gemaklik. Rene en Rudi het ons werklik laat tuis voel en het so mooi na ons omgesien - sal definitief weer gaan, hopelik vir 'n langer tydperk.

Exceptional hospitality, excellent location - true getaway!

The Dungeon is private yet close enough to the owners to get immediate service or help. We had a lovely but short break. The place's interior is stylish, but also comfortable. Rene and Rudi really made us feel at home and looked after us so well - will definitely go again, hopefully for a longer period.
