The Old Barn

A little piece of heaven in the middle of nowhere.

Ons verblyf by hierdie plek was 'n absolute droom! Nie net was die kombuisgereedskap pragtig nie, maar die buite-omgewing was ewe betowerend. Die kombuisgereedskap het 'n tikkie van verfyning bygevoeg tot ons kulinêre strewe, van kook tot tafelopstelling. Elke stuk was deurdagtelik saamgestel, wat ons eetervaring na nuwe hoogtes gehef het. Verder was die buitekant van die verblyf eenvoudig pragtig. Of ons nou oggendkoffie op die stoep geniet het of ontspan het met 'n glas wyn in die tuin, het die buite-omgewing 'n rustige toevlug gebied. Omring deur weelderige groen en pragtige natuurskoon, het ons totaal en al vrede gevoel. Algeheel het hierdie verblyf ons verwagtinge in elke opsig oortref. Sal definitief weer wil kom as die weer kom. Hoop dat die weer beter sal wees en ons die buite-area ten volle kan benut. Dis nog mooier as die foto's. Pippa het aan alles gedink. Ons beveel dit sterk aan vir enigeen wat 'n luukse verblyf soek met 'n fokus op beide kulinêre uitnemendheid en natuurlike skoonheid en dis nog boonop "doggy-friendly". Vreeslik dankie.

Pragtige plek met baie sjarme en 'n lieflike tuin.

Sien sterre.

The house was beautiful and spacious.

We had a very happy weekend with the whole family. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and wet, but the hosts provided generous firewood, so we were warm and cozy.

Plaspoel is heerlik op die warm dae. Huis uitleg lieflik vir lekke kuier.

Lieflike kuierplek vir alle seisoene. Volg die son en sit op die agterstoep of op verskillende ander areas in die tuin.

Relaxing family stay.

Enjoyed the outdoor area immensely, well furnished outside, with different areas for varying moods and needs. Nice bar area with darts board. Large lounge and dining area and plenty of heating facilities for cold days. We had very hot weather and battled with the only cooling being one ceiling fan in the main room. Lots of fridges, well appointed with coffee machine, washer, dishwasher, games, books, linen, etc. Did miss a braai bak or similar though. Pool has no steps within the pool itself to get out; you need to use a lot of upper body strength to get out, so it would be very dangerous for pets/young children falling in. We struggled with insects, but probably due to the hot weather. There are really only 2 proper bedrooms; the other 2 consist of an open loft area with hectic steps, and a makeshift room formed by a bookshelf and room divider. We found the adjacent boutique hotel quite noisy, as their driveway/parking/entrance borders the garden with a thin mesh fence between. There is no alarm on the house, but the area seemed safe. WiFi was excellent. The caretaker was quite grumpy, arrived late for check-in, and arrived early on check-out day unannounced to "fetch some things" within the house, quite an invasion of our privacy. Further, whilst we were checking out, she was cleaning up behind us, which was very uncomfortable. But we were allowed a late check-out, which was fabulous.

Lovely time. Very peaceful and relaxing place.

Lovely house and garden.

Rustig en stil.

Stil en rustige ligging. Het die swembad baie geniet. Die plekke was nie reg toe ons aankom nie en daar was ' n paar plekkies en items wat nie skoon was nie maar die eienaar het verduidelik dat daar nie genoeg tyd was om skoon te maak voor ons koms nie, want die vorige mense het daardie oggend eers vertrek. Hulle het ons 'n dag se tarief afslag terugbetaal om op te maak. Die yskas het nie gewerk nie en ons het R 600 se vleis moes weggooi, maar die eienaar het dadelik 'n nuwe yskas laat aflewer. Dit het met die ewige loadshedding te doen gehad. Goed ingerig behalwe vir die feit dat daar net een groot pot en een baie klein pot is so Kersete kook was 'n challenge. Ek moes ook my eie skerp messe koop, want die messe wat daar was, was stomp. Andersins baie nice en ons sal die aanbeveel. Ons hondjies was ook welkom en hulle het dit geniet.

Great house with all the little extras included.

The house could do with a very good deep spring clean and the beds being upgraded, they are very uncomfortable.

Rustigheid, stil, gemaklik, gerieflik.

Dit is 'n baie lekker plek waar mens kan rus en ontspan, lekker geriewe soos skottelgoedwasser, mooi tuin, lekker kuierplek binne en buite. Sal definitief weer gaan.

Fantastic!

The Old Barn was fantastic - Awesome accommodation! Very well equipped, beds cosy and comfortable. The ambience of the Old Barn was amazing, both indoors and the outdoor area! Highly Recommended!

Amazing place, we had a fantastic stay in your beautiful home, thank you!

What a little treasure, we loved our very short stay, wish we could have stayed longer. There were so many thoughtful touches around the house, we loved the outdoor area and the linen was crisp and clean. Only strange thing was that there was no braai grid, but we made a plan. Thanks, we will be back.
