Rus. Verseker 'n plek om weer jouself te vind.

Elke voëlgeluid word gehoor. Dis die enigste geluide wat die stilte verbreek. Die natuur. Die rivier. Die canoes. Asemrowend.

Rest. Ensure a place to find yourself again.

Every bird sound is heard. Those are the only sounds that break the silence. The nature. The river. The canoes. Breathtaking.

Wat 'n juweel!

Die stilte, natuurskoon en geriewe het ons stoutste verwagtinge oortref. Hoe oulik dat die kamers 'n kort afstand van die hoofgebou is, veral as mens 'n groter groep is, sodoende kan jy lekker kuier wanneer jy wil of wegglip na jou private woonhuisie as jy bietjie stilte wil hê. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam in die agtergrond. Die donkie het gesorg vir menige heerlike, warm baddens! Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike langnaweek!

What a gem!

The silence, scenery and amenities exceeded our wildest expectations. How nice that the rooms are a short distance from the main building, especially if you are a larger group, so you can hang out when you want or slip away to your private cottage if you want some quiet. The staff are very friendly and helpful in the background. The donkey took care of many delicious, warm baths! Thank you very much for a wonderful long weekend!

A wonderful and peaceful stay, in a beautiful setting.

The layout is so comfortable and affords the whole family their own private rooms to sleep in but is also a well-thought-out area for everyone to relax and spend some quality time together while having spectacular views of the river. Peaceful and relaxing. The wood we ordered from the hosts was really great too. Definitely a place I would love to return to.

Stukkie hemel op aarde.

Kommunikasie met die eienaar was van die begin af puik. Nella, die dame wat na die huis omsien is 'n wonderlike mens wat so mooi sorg dat als in orde is elke liewe dag. Thorn & Feather is regtig 'n stukkie hemel op aarde! Dit voel amper of jy 'n klein Griekse dorpie net vir jouself het. Wat 'n wonderlike ervaring. Ons het alles op die vuur berei. Die herd in die kombuis was vir my ongelooflik lekker om in kos te maak en al my drome van 'n eenvoudiger lewe het hier waar geword sonder om enigsins enige gerief of veiligheid op te offer. Ons twee honde het saam met ons gekuier en was veilig want die area is omhein. Wees net bedag op bosluise. Dit is immers in die bos. Die uitsig op die rivier en die sterrehemel saans sal my vir lank by bly. Hier sal ek weer gaan rus.

Piece of heaven on earth.

Communication with the owner was great from the start. Nella, the lady who looks after the house is a wonderful person who takes such good care that everything is in order every single day. Thorn & Feather really is a piece of heaven on earth! It almost feels like you have a small Greek town all to yourself. What a great experience. We prepared everything on the fire. The stove in the kitchen was incredibly fun for me to cook and all my dreams of a simpler life came true here without sacrificing any comfort or safety at all. Our two dogs visited with us and were safe because the area is fenced. Just be aware of ticks. After all, it is in the forest. The view of the river and the starry sky at night will stay with me for a long time. Here I will rest again.

Perfect spot to chill or to wear your adventure hat!

Amazing location, superior accommodation, a deck with a view to die for, a plunge pool right when you need it and easy access to a great river!

Thanks Melanie for appreciating Thorn & Feather, making the most of your time in nature, on the river etc. My colleague, Nella and I thank you for taking the time to send us a review. We hope to see you and your family again soon. Jonathan

Stoepvertrek was uitstekend vir onthaal en ontspanning.

Slaapeenhede apart het goed gewerk en aparte waskamer was interessant. Boothelling op die perseel wat miskien omliggende eiendomme bedien sal goed werk.

Porch room was excellent for entertaining and relaxing.

Separate sleeping units worked well and separate laundry room was interesting. Boat ramp on site perhaps serving surrounding properties would work well.

Rustig en een kant. Die uitsig was ongelooflik mooi en die blyplek heerlik. Hester (dame wat ons ontvang het) was pragtig en vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Amazing pragtige plek. Rus vir die siel.

Beauty on the rivers edge.

We had a wonderful stay at Thorn&Feather. Friendly welcome, explanation on the house as it is quite different. Basic but tastefully done, everything.

Thorn & Feather 's response

Perfectly friendly guest and easy to communicate with. Raised an issue with a kitchen appliance that turned out not to be at fault in any way, thereby causing the guest to incur the cost of a contractor. Pre-arrival, the guest opted out of incurring the relatively small cost of Wi-Fi (data) and then asked to have emergency access for a person in their group requiring a study commitment. The host provides the product but was not compensated. The guest had to leave 1 night early for an unrelated reason. As a host, it is important to acknowledge and respond to constructive criticism, but none is derived from the feedback or experience.

Wat 'n ongelooflike lekker naweek. Beslis aanbeveelbaar!

Ongelooflik is die eerste woord wat by my op kom. Beslis een van die beste plekke waar ons nog gebly het. Ongelooflike lekker en gemaklike akkommodasie, en die beste badkamer ooit. Beleef nog warm water wat gestook word met 'n donkie en 'n bad wat uitkyk oor die rivier en buitelug. Kombuis met alles wat jy nodig het en selfs 'n vuurherd. Beslis 'n "bucket list"-moet! Ons kan nie uitgepraat raak oor hoe lekker dit was nie en gaan beslis gou weer bespreek. Ideaal vir paartjies, gesinne of groepe vriende. Jy kan kuier om die vuur, sit in van die twee swembadjies op die dek, roei op die rivier, en soveel meer. Daar is iets vir almal om te doen. Perfekte wegbreek sonder enige steurnisse.

What an incredibly fun weekend. Definitely recommendable!

Incredible is the first word that comes to mind. Definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed. Incredibly nice and comfortable accommodation, and the best bathroom ever. Experience more hot water heated with a donkey and a bath overlooking the river and outdoors. Kitchen with everything you need and even a stove. Definitely a "bucket list" must! We can't get over how nice it was and will definitely be booking again soon. Ideal for couples, families or groups of friends. You can hang out around the fire, sit in one of the two pools on the deck, paddle on the river, and so much more. There is something for everyone to do. Perfect getaway without any disturbances.

Tranquil and relaxing stay.

Beautiful farm style buildings equipped with everything you may need. Could not ask for a better setting against the river.

Ongelooflike rustigheid en ligging.

Netheid was besonders en mens het nodig om die minimum te vat. Mooiste ligging, rus vir die siel en lekker kuierarea en stoep. Kan ure in die bad lê met daardie uitsig. Hoop ons kan vinnig weer besoek!

Unbelievable tranquility and location.

Cleanliness was exceptional and one needs to take the minimum. Most beautiful location, rest for the soul and nice visiting area and porch. Can lie in the tub for hours with that view. Hope we can visit again soon!

Absolutely wonderful!

First off, the accommodation is amazing! Decor suits us perfectly, eclectic comfort. The view is also incredible, totally surrounded by nature. The common room is relaxing, great in good weather and bad with glass windows that slide open all around. The kitchen has it all, I usually take my own important equipment along but this time I didn't need to (the knives actually cut). The deck is comfortable with ample furniture, great braai's (there are 2 indoor braai's too) and a fire pit. There is also an great little dip pool on the deck to take off the edge without going down to the river. It's a kids paradise with so much too explore, the children where finished every night. The deeper dip pool is just a level down with a private little viewing deck. The most amazing treat is the Bath-house, you'll feel like you're in your own private spa. If you like nature but are not to keen on camping, this is it. You'll be so relaxed you won't be able to move. I'd recommend a 3 night stay, 2 is just to short to really enjoy this place. Make sure you bring everything you need, there are no real shops in Vermaaklikheid.
