Beste verblyf ooit!

The Fernery was eerlik een van die beste en mooiste plekke waar ek nog ooit gebly het. Daar is 'n grondpad maar in goeie toestand. Die ontvangs was van 5 ster-gehalte en ons hout chalet was besonders met 'n pragtige uitsig. Die 'hot tub' tussen die bome was 'n hoogtepunt. Die restaurantkos was heerlik, veral die uitsonderlike ontbyt. Hier sal ek beslis weer bly!

Best stay ever!

The Fernery was honestly one of the best and most beautiful places I have ever stayed. There is a dirt road but in good condition. The reception was of 5 star quality and our wooden chalet was exceptional with a beautiful view. The hot tub between the trees was a highlight. The restaurant food was delicious, especially the exceptional breakfast. I will definitely stay here again!

We really had a good time. The lodge is relaxing the environment is rejuvenating.

The scenery is very interesting and the vegetation around refreshes one especially us who stay in an industrialised environment.

Goeie wegbreek en stilte.

Ons het bietjie verdwaal op die grondpad hierheen, maar dit was wel die moeite werd om te stop en aanwysings te vra want GPS werk nie hier nie. Die mense is vriendelik, die kos was markverwant in koste en waarde vir geld. Die diens was great.

Good break and silence.

We got a little lost on the dirt road here, but it was worth stopping and asking for directions because GPS doesn't work here. The people are friendly, the food was market related in cost and value for money. The service was great.

Pragitge wittebroodbestemming.

Die grondpad in Fernery in is maar rof, maar jy kan teen kruipspoed met 'n normale voertuig daarin ry. Die chalets lyk pragtig met 'n asemrowende uitkyk op die ravyn, see en waterval. Die menu was beperk, maar alles was topgehalte. Die kliëntediens was fantasties. Ongelukkig kan ek baie soortgelyke bestemmings besoek vir minder as die helfte van die prys per aand.

Beautiful honeymoon destination.

The dirt road into Fernery is rough, but you can drive it at crawling speed with a normal vehicle. The chalets look beautiful with a breathtaking view of the ravine, sea and waterfall. The menu was limited, but everything was top quality. The customer service was fantastic. Unfortunately, I can visit many similar destinations for less than half the price per night.

Lieflik! Uitsig is wonderlik en die stilte was so lekker!

Dit was regtig 'n wonderlike wegbreek vir 'n aand vir my en my man. Die jacuzzi was 'n lekker bederf so op die hange in die bosse. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel!

Awesome, amazing and fantastic!

Had a lovely time at the Fernery. Worth every cent. We enjoyed new year's eve there with a braai. It was top class! Only one thing we could complain about is the flies in the chalet - when we wanted to have an afternoon snooze they were too terrible. We killed about 15 but there were far more. Even though one sprayed the Doom provided it's not ideal for the environment. An idea I suggested at reception when we booked out is that they get mosquito nets above the beds - for the flies! Other than that it was perfect and we will certainly be going back.

Fantastiese en wonderskone plek waar ek die feetjies en kabouters kan hoor lag.

Dit was 'n heerlike kuier. My hoogtepunt was my voorgereg van komkommer, papaja en garnale, ongelooflik lekker. Ek moes my bord wegsteek sodat my liefde nie alles steel nie. Ons altwee het dit baie geniet. Sal enige tyd teruggaan. Lekker rus en vrede vir die siel.

Fantastic and wonderful place where I can hear the fairies and goblins laughing.

It was a lovely visit. My highlight was my starter of cucumber, papaya and prawns, incredibly delicious. I had to hide my plate so my love wouldn't steal everything. We both really enjoyed it. Would go back anytime. Good rest and peace for the soul.

Goeie more, Xandre,
Vreeslik baie dankie vir hierdie wonderlike oorsig. Ons stem saam, dit is beslis "feetjieland" en salf vir die siel. Kom asseblief weer - ons is so bly om te hoor hoe welkom en gelukkig ons gaste voel. Namens die die span "The Fernery Lodge and Chalets", weereens dankie.

Salig!

Uitsonderlike verblyf! Lekker geëet en gekuier. Sal dit graag wil ervaar in die somer, aangesien dit bitter koud was! Sal 'n TV in die chalets voorstel, wanneer dit so koud was soos verlede naweek voel mens nie lus om uit te gaan vir rugby ens. nie. Ons het dit regtig baie geniet.

Exceptional stay! Enjoyed eating and hanging out. Would love to experience this in the summer as it was bitterly cold! Would suggest a TV in the chalets, when it was as cold as last weekend you don't feel like going out for rugby etc. not. We really enjoyed it.

Dit was 'n lieflike plek, die fotos doen dit dalk onreg aan, want jy sit regtig op 'n lieflike plek.

Ek en my vrou het heerlik op die bank op die stoep ontspan en verlang nou nog terug na daai uitsig. Ons het eers op die laaste aand gesien dat die vloer verhit, dalk kan die geriewe in die kamer aan die gaste gewys word. Die piekniek was wonderlik. As ons kon, sou ons weer gaan, die selfoon en geen WiFi was iets om aan gewoond te raak.

It was a lovely place, the photos may not do it justice, because you really are sitting in a lovely place.

My wife and I had a great time relaxing on the sofa on the porch and now we still long for that view. We only saw the floor heating on the last night, maybe the facilities in the room can be shown to the guests. The picnic was wonderful. If we could we would go again, the cell phone and no WiFi was something to get used to.
