Baie ruim, stil en sentraal!

Het Augrabies baie geniet, inligtingsboekie van omliggende restaurante en wat om te doen, sal gaaf wees.

Pleasant and peaceful stay.

What a fantastic place to relax after a long drive. The place is safe and secure and so peaceful to just get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Thank you, Fox's Lair.

Comfortable and clean.

We had a great stay at this beautiful spacious house for two families travelling together. We enjoyed the outside braai and the complimentary wood that was provided. The house truly has everything one could want or need with lots of heaters and blankets for winter travellers and aircon when it's warmer. Close to the Augrabies Falls.

Pragtig en gerieflik!

Ons was 6 gaste, verdeel in 3 kamers - elk met sy eie privaat badkamer. Dan was daar 'n groot leefarea met genoeg kragpunte en laaipoorte vir selfone. Ons het ook ons eie privaat tuintjie gehad waar ons heerlik gebraai het. Als was mooi en skoon, en met besondere aandag aan elke klein detail. Die verblyf is op 'n plaas, met 'n stil en rustige atmosfeer. Die plek bied baie goeie waarde vir geld. Ons sal rede soek om weer daar te bly as ons kan.

Beautiful and comfortable!

We were 6 guests, divided into 3 rooms - each with its own private bathroom. Then there was a large living area with enough power points and charging ports for mobile phones. We also had our own private little garden where we had a great barbecue. Als was nice and clean, and with special attention to every little detail. The accommodation is on a farm, with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The place offers very good value for money. We will look for reason to stay there again if we can.

Our visit to Fox's Lair was fantastic. We got lost trying to find the place but Louis came to meet us along the way.

Fox's Lair was nice, clean and comfort able a short drive to the Augrabies Falls. Louis was very welcoming and ensured we were settled and comfortable. The air conditioning in the bedroom was a real blessing. I will easily recommend the place to anybody.

Gerieflik buite die dorp.

Ons het 'n woonstel met 3 kamers gehad, ons eie tuintjie vir braai. Baie spasie. Regtig mooi en gerieflik. Die is baie naby aan die watervalle. Die verblyf is op 'n plaas met meestal beheerde toegang voor. Die grootte van die plaas en die feit dat daar taxis op die plaas ry het ons bietjie afgesit. Parkering was dus vir ons half 'n probleem aangesien ek 'n wa gesleep het en ek gevoel dat daar nie regtig veilige parkering was met so baie voete in die omgewing nie.

Conveniently outside of town.

We had a 3-room apartment, our own little garden for braai. Lots of space. Really nice and comfortable. The are very close to the waterfalls. The accommodation is on a farm with mostly controlled access to the front. The size of the farm and the fact that there are taxis on the farm put us off a bit. So parking was half a problem for us as I was towing a wagon and I felt that there wasn't really safe parking with so many feet around.

Rustig en gerieflik.

Ons was met baie gasvryheid ontvang in n pragtige drie slaap kamer woon eenheid wat gerieflik was vir ons almal. Die drie badkamers was 'n groot bonus vir 'n groep van ses persone. Die braai-area is veilig en goeie braaihout was verskaf. Die woning was baie netjies, skoon en die lugversorgers het vir ons almal 'n goeie nagrus versorg. Die gasvrou, Louise het ons baie tuis laat voel en hup aan gebied waar nodig. Die plaasatmosfeer was so lekker en geensins onveilig gevoel nie. Sal weer gaan!

Quiet and comfortable.

We were received with great hospitality in a beautiful three bedroom living unit that was comfortable for all of us. The three bathrooms were a big bonus for a group of six. The braai area is safe and good braai wood was provided. The house was very neat, clean and the air conditioners ensured a good night's rest for all of us. The hostess, Louise, made us feel very much at home and offered help where needed. The farm atmosphere was so nice and didn't feel unsafe in any way. Will go again!

Nice and close to Augrabies National park and pet friendly.

Louise provided all the comforts necessary for a great stay, the unit was new and bedrooms really tastefully furnished and bathrooms very mod. Very secure accommodation close the Augrabies falls which was great. We brought our dogs with and Louise provided a lovely grassed area for them while we went to the falls.

Netjiese oorslaap plek.

Netjies en ruim kamers met gasvrye gasvrou. Al klagte is dat daar geen bediende is wat skottelgoed was of skoonmaak vir die tyd van verblyf nie. Moet ook se dat die oorbly tydperk wel oor 'n vakansiedag geval het.

Mooi en goed ingerigte eenheid met pragtige en suite-badkamers is vir my sommer 'n groot bonus.

Nogal gesukkel om die die plek te kry. Daar is 'n naambord aangebring maar is nie duidelik sigbaar tussen die heelwat ander borde wat op dieselfde plek aangebring is nie. Hout word verskaf, so bring gerus vleis saam om te braai. Lekker privaat ommuurde area om te braai. Kombuis baie goed toegerus.

Fox's Liar was baie skoon, netjies en uitstekend toegerus. Die woonstel is reg oorkant die eienaar se huis en hulle honde wat snags blaf was 'n groot probleem vir ons.

Die woonstel is baie smaakvol en goed toegerus. Alles was baie netjies en skoon. Pad-aanwysings is nie goed nie en daar is slegs een klein bordjie in een rigting aangebring. Ons het van die ander kant af gekom en dit gemis. Ons moes op die ou end rondvra om die plek te kry. Geen GPS koördinate. Geen antwoord op telefoonoproepe wat ons gemaak het nie. Met ons aankoms was al die hekke gesluit en niemand daar om ons te ontvang nie. Ons moes meer as 'n uur sukkel om die eienaar in die hande te kry (verskeie telefoonoproepe na `n verskeidenheid van nommers was onsuksesvol). Het op die ou einde LekkeSlaap gekontak wat die eienaar in die hande gekry het om ons te kontak. Nie wat 'n mens wil hê na 'n baie lang dag se ry met 'n baba in die kar nie. Die tweede aand het die hond aanhoudend geblaf. Ons het die eienaar probeer bel (onsuksesvol), en op die ou einde verskeie sms'e gestuur in die vroeë oggendure om te vra om asb. plan te maak met die hond. Dit was 'n gesukkel.

Fox's Lair was very clean, neat and excellently equipped. The apartment is right across the road from the owner's house and their dogs barking at night was a big problem for us.

The apartment is very tasteful and well equipped. Everything was very neat and clean. Directions aren't good and there is only one small board in one direction. We came from the other side and missed it. We had to ask around to find the place in the end. No GPS coordinates. No answer on the phone calls we made. On arrival the gates were locked and nobody was there to receive us. We had to struggle for more than an hour to get ahold of the owner (various phone calls to a variety of numbers were unsuccessful). In the end we contacted LekkeSlaap who got hold of the owner to contact us. Not what you want after a very long day with a baby in the car. The second night the dog barked non-stop. We tried phoning the owner (unsuccessful) and in the end sent various SMS's in the early morning hours asking him to please make a plan with the dog. It was a struggle.
