Sien bg by " laat weet of jy lekker gebly het".

Wow, wow! Wat ’n belewenis van stilte, die pragtige natuurskoon en ’n rustige aand by die kampvuur met sterre om te aanskou. Daar is vele pluspunte, soos baie netjiese verblyf wat goed toegerus is, ’n "hot tub", kaggelvuur, alles wat jy benodig binne die Sinkshack, ’n hangmat buite om rustig te ontspan, en die geleentheid om op die stoep te sit en na die voëltjies te luister terwyl jy wegbreek van die gejaag van die daaglikse take en werk. Dit laat jou voel asof jy net daar wil bly en nooit wil terugkeer na jou bestemming nie. Daar is verskeie staproetes, roetes wat jy met ’n bakkie kan ry en verken, asook ’n rivier met ’n grondpad en bergpas waar jy net rustig kan sit en na die water luister. Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur die eienaar en gasvrou. Daar was reeds sakke hout vir ons beskikbaar, en as jy hou van vuurmaak, is daar ekstra hout te koop. Binne die Sinkshack is daar ’n rak met konfyt en ingelegde vrugte te koop, met ’n houer om kontant te plaas as jy iets wil koop, asook "bush tea" wat eie aan die eienaar is. Jy voel onmiddellik welkom, en daar is ook boeke vir reëndae, die geskiedenis van die Sinkshack, en verskeie bordspeletjies. Daar is geen internetontvangs nie—slegs in dele soos wanneer jy nader aan die dorp (Joubertina) beweeg. Dit is egter presies wat hierdie plek spesiaal maak: ’n stilte-wegbreek weg van tegnologie. Daar is geen elektrisiteit nie, wat saam met die gebrek aan internet ’n groot pluspunt van rus en vrede is. Daar is genoeg kerse met kerskandelare, genoegsame gaslampies, ’n gasvrieskas en ander lampies. Die dorpie Joubertina is net ’n paar kilometer buite, indien jy dalk kos wil koop vir jou verblyf, ’n slaghuis wil besoek of by ’n restaurant wil eet. Ek beveel Route 62 sterk aan—hul kos is uit die boeke en die diens is vriendelik. Ons het ook die eienaar daar ontmoet, wat baie vriendelik was en ons laat tuis voel het. Hulle het ook ’n winkel by Route 62 waar ons die heerlikste vars pasteie gekoop het. Vir diegene wat alkoholiese drankies wil koop, is daar opsies in die dorp beskikbaar. Daar is ook ’n apteek, Ackermans, Pep en ’n USave, maar ons het ons kosbenodigdhede by Joubertina Supermark gekoop. Dit is maar net ’n paar van die plekke waar jy aankope kan doen en die dorpie kan verken. Daar is selfs ’n Toyota-motorhawe (ons was daar met ons bakkie), met baie vriendelike en behulpsame diens, en ons het diesel ingegooi by Engen by Toyota. Terug by die Sinkshack—dit is regtig een van die beste plekke waar ons nog was! As jy wil wegbreek van die gejaagde lewe van tegnologie en verkeer en net stilte wil ervaar, is hierdie plek nommer een! Baie dankie aan die eienaar en gasvrou, asook aan die webtuiste vir uitstekende en vriendelike diens. Ons sien binnekort vir julle—ons volgende bespreking is reeds gedoen!

See above under "let us know if you had a good stay".

Wow, wow! What an experience of silence, the beautiful scenery and a peaceful evening by the campfire with stars to behold. There are many plus points, such as very neat accommodation that is well equipped, a "hot tub", fireplace, everything you need inside the Sinkshack, a hammock outside to relax peacefully, and the opportunity to sit on the porch and listen to the birds while you break away from the hustle and bustle of daily tasks and work. It makes you feel as if you just want to stay there and never want to return to your destination. There are several hiking trails, routes that you can drive and explore with a bakkie, as well as a river with a dirt road and mountain pass where you can just sit quietly and listen to the water. We were kindly received by the owner and hostess. There were already bags of wood available for us, and if you like to make a fire, there is extra wood for sale. Inside the Sinkshack there is a shelf with jams and pickled fruits for sale, with a container to put cash if you want to buy something, as well as "bush tea" that is the owner's own. You feel immediately welcome, and there are also books for rainy days, the history of the Sinkshack, and various board games. There is no internet reception—only in parts like when you move closer to the town (Joubertina). However, this is exactly what makes this place special: a quiet getaway away from technology. There is no electricity, which, together with the lack of internet, is a big plus of peace and quiet. There are enough candles with candlesticks, enough gas lamps, a gas freezer and other lamps. The town of Joubertina is just a few kilometers outside, if you want to buy food for your stay, visit a butcher shop or eat at a restaurant. I highly recommend Route 62—their food is out of the books and the service is friendly. We also met the owner there, who was very friendly and made us feel at home. They also have a shop on Route 62 where we bought the most delicious fresh pies. For those who want to buy alcoholic beverages, there are options available in town. There is also a pharmacy, Ackermans, Pep and a USave, but we bought our food supplies at Joubertina Supermarket. These are just a few of the places where you can do your shopping and explore the town. There is even a Toyota garage (we were there with our bakkie), with very friendly and helpful service, and we filled up with diesel at Engen at Toyota. Back to the Sinkshack—this is truly one of the best places we have ever been! If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of technology and traffic and just experience silence, this place is number one! Many thanks to the owner and hostess, as well as to the website for excellent and friendly service. We'll see you soon—our next discussion is already done!

Great getaway.

Gorgeous accommodation with all you need for a night away. No electricity meant no cell phone or hot water, but making a fire for a shower and the wood-burning hot tub makes it worth the effort. Everything else you need is available.

Peace, love and hottubs!

We had a lovely stay. Very last minute so the host prepared the house for us super quick. The property was lacking a few essentials, but I think this can be put down to our late booking and the fact they were not expecting guests. All in all, a very peaceful, restful spot, the fantastic hot tub which was a real treat.
