The View

Superb host.

Great, relaxing, magnificent view.

Relaxing.

Fabulous location. Our room was very comfortable and communal facilities were really great. Jennifer was an excellent host and she really went the extra mile to welcome us.

Vriendelike eienaar, netjies, veilig en baie rustig.

Uitstekende stil en rustige plek langs die dam.

Fantastic.

Pragtige plek en baie goeie bestuur, skoon en alles wat ons nodig wou hê. Baie dankie.

Ons was vriendelik verwelkom en het lekker gebly.

Rustige omgewing, hier kan jy net afskakel en ontlaai van die gewoel van die lewe. Vriendelike ontvangs en tuisgevoel.

Hier kan jy goed uitrus na 'n langweek se werk.

Ons het lekker gebly, baie gerieflik, en netjiese verblyf.

Rustic en rustig.

Jennifer is 'n wonderlike gasvrou. Ons het dadelik tuis gevoel en sy was enige tyd beskikbaar om vrae te antwoord. Die cottage is baie rustiek, perfek as jy net wil rustig word in die natuur sonder enige afleiding.

A quiet, secluded and incredibly scenic slice of paradise.

We had a wonderful two-day stay at The View and The Cottage. The owner was extremely helpful, hospitable, and attentive, and ensured that we had everything we needed and more. The scenery around the venue is breathtaking, and the wildlife roaming around make for a special treat.

Peaceful and homely.

Baie lekker gebly, gasvrou is fantasties.

What a view!

The host is the nicest, friendliest, and most accommodating lady ever! The rooms are beautiful, and the view over Albert Falls Dam is amazing. The braai area and kitchen area for guests to use are a huge bonus. We loved staying here and will be going back regularly. Thanks, Jennifer. You rock.

Very enjoyable and peaceful to relax and unwind.

Very frequently and lovely people, and the bonus is all the wildlife that's around the area. The dam is beautiful, but we did not catch any fish, sadly. All in all, we had a lovely weekend. Thank you.

Beautiful and quiet.

It is a basic but very cute cottage. Everything was really clean. The mattress was super comfy. Hostess went out of her way to assist where she could. The view from the dam is amazing.

Pragtige uitsig. Rustige atmosfeer.

Ons is baie gasvry ontvang. Die uitsig is asemrowend, die rustigheid heilsaam vir die siel.

Baie vriendelike diens en rustige atmosfeer met vrylopende wild.

Dit is die perfekte wegbreek vir enige kommerlose mense wat nie sal omgee om basiese, rustige verblyf te geniet nie. Die wildlewe is mak ek kom tot by die huis. Die beste is dis troeteldiervriendelik. Ons het 'n baie lekker tyd gehad en hoef nie oor kinders wat alleen stap te bekommer nie.

Farm style, comfortable, affordable, and value-for-money. Jen is a great host who provides helpful services.

The View has an epic view of Albert Falls Dam, and you have direct access to the Msini reserve (i.e., the Dam) through the bottom of the property. The property has wild animals such as buck, zebra, and giraffes. We did not realize that the accommodation is built onto the main house where Jen stays. Just note that the accommodation is not private, which was not clear when we made the booking. The accommodation sleeps a lot of people (if you book out the house and the cottage), which is attractive and difficult to find in the area. The cottage is about a 150m walk up the road from the main house. The accommodation is not luxurious but very comfortable and is a farm-style stay. The price was very affordable. The accommodation is value-for-money, and Jen is a great host! She assisted with Ice, Wood, and Shuttle service, etc. The place was clean and had all the basic amenities, and we had great help from the domestic helpers. The security is not great as some of the rooms did not have locks. Jen, I would suggest you update the photos on Lekker Slaap which are more recent pics.

Teleurstellend.

Die eenheid is eenvoudig, tog netjies. Ongelukkig is die hoofslaapkamer baie klein met min plek vir 'n resitas. Vlermuise het nesgemaak in die dak van die eenheid (met die eienaar se medewete) en dit was onmoontlik om 'n oog toe te maak die eerste nag met die geskarrel bo ons koppe. Daar was ook net voorsiening gemaak vir 3 gaste met van die breekware, hoewel ons vir 4 mense bespreek het. Nadat ons vooraf navraag gedoen het, was ons onder die indruk dat daar WiFi-ontvangs by die huisie was, maar dit is slegs beskikbaar in die gasheer se huis sowat 300 m verder. My man moes dus bedags by hulle huis gaan werk, en daarom voel dit of n mens inbreuk maak op hulle privaatheid as 'n mens dit wil gebruik. Die swembadjie is teen die gasheer se stoep gebou, dus dieselfde probleem. Die uitsig van die dam is baie mooi vanuit die eenheid en net 'n kort stappie ver. Oppas net vir bosluise! Ongelukkig het die buite-area voor die eenheid geen stoepdak nie, dus kan 'n mens nie regtig bedags buite sit en die omgewing geniet nie. Die gashere het werklik uit hulle pad gegaan om van die bogenoemde reg te stel nadat ons dit onder hulle aandag gebring het, maar die stank van die sterwende vlermuise in die warm son, die dag nadat hulle gif kom spuit het, was onuithoudbaar. Ons het liefs vertrek hoewel ons aanvanklik langer wou bly. Die gashere het ons gratis later laat uitteken as wat hulle vertrektyd was en ek wil glo dat die volgende gaste sal 'n beter ervaring as ons hê aangesien die foute reggestel is.

Lekker rustig gewees. Sal nie cottage aanbeveel nie.

The view self was pragtig. Die cottage eenkant was okay. As jy van rotte hou en paddas in die kamer. Nie pakplek gehad nie en die warm water was 'n probleem in kombuis. Diere buite was pragtig. Baie rustig andersins.

Lekke mense!

Sien sterre.

Uitstekend.

Sien julle volgende jaar met Comrades.

Nice base to stay at for our Comrades weekend.

See stars.
