Quaint overnight pitstop.

The cottage is a quaint and spacious place with all the facilities required for a quiet stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the lounge is spacious with a fireplace. The only two drawbacks were that the bathtub with a hand shower tends to leave the bathroom floor wet (no shower curtain) and the fireplace, whilst large and very welcome in the cold, smokes up the entire cottage, especially the area with the double bed!

Tranquil, beautiful accommodation in Magoebaskloof.

Lovely accommodation on a beautiful farm. September was the perfect time to visit with cherry blossoms and azaleas in a beautiful display of colour. The house was perfect for our family, equipped with everything we needed, quiet and safe. Well located. We will definitely visit again.

Peaceful, working farm stay!

The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I had not realised it was so close to the main house, but in general this was not a problem. There is a lovely cafe and farm shop on the property, which I recommend. The property has a large number of outdoor activities - swimming, hiking, biking, birding. It was a lovely location to stay. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Centrally located, easy-to-access, tranquil farm stay.

We had a lovely (although fleeting) stay. We came to swim the Ebenezer Mile and needed an easy-to-access place to spend one night. This venue was ideal as it is close to the main road, central to the area, and no 4x4 needed. It would be a great place to spend a longer time. We would have enjoyed doing more open water swimming in the lake and dam, and visiting all the lovely Magoebaskloof attractions.

Snoesige kothuis op 'n pragtige plaas.

Ons het 'n rustige naweek wegbreek in die winter nodig gehad en het dit gekry. Die kaggel was toegerus met hout, die bed gemaklik en warm, en die tuin en plaas daarom was pragtig. Ons het ook 'n Knysna Loerie gesien van die stoep af! Die oggendmis in die stukkie woud voor die kothuis was pragtig. Die grondpaadjie was kort en 'n sedan kon maklik daarop ry. Ons het ver gestap en kon visvang sonder enige stoornisse - lekker stil met 'n bergfietser elke nou en dan op die stap-/bergfietsroetes om die plaas en Broederstroom. Die hoofpad (R71) is hoorbaar in die afstand, maar dis nie uiters hard nie. Die koffiewinkel wat op die plaas is en ook oop is vir die publiek was ook aangenaam om te besoek - honde-vriendelik met baie lekker ontbyt, kaaskoek en vriendelike diens. As 'n mens luuksheid soek, is dié kothuis dalk nie vir jou nie. Die kombuis is net basies toegerus (insluitend eetgerei) en die houtdek moeg van die konstante hoë humiditeit. Daar is slegs 'n bad, geen stort nie. Daar is 'n vierplaatgasstoof wat met vuurhoutjies aangesteek word en die oond was 'n uitdaging. Daar is egter 'n goeie mikrogolfoond en yskas. Die hoofhuis is reg langs die kothuis, maar dit was meestal stil. Die inwonende honde was nie té entoesiasties toe hulle ons hond gewaar het nie, maar het hulle afstand gehou en ons was bly om hom te kon saambring. In die geheel was dit 'n baie aangename ervaring omdat dit 'n mooi omgewing is met heelwat om te doen, en ook niks, as jy vrede nodig het.

Cozy cottage on a beautiful farm.

We needed a quiet weekend getaway in the winter and got it. The fireplace was equipped with wood, the bed comfortable and warm, and the garden and farm around it were beautiful. We also saw a Knysna Loerie from the porch! The morning fog in the patch of forest in front of the cottage was beautiful. The dirt road was short and a sedan could easily drive on it. We walked far and were able to fish without any disturbances - nice and quiet with a mountain biker every now and then on the walking/mountain bike trails around the farm and Broederstroom. The main road (R71) can be heard in the distance, but it's not extremely loud. The coffee shop which is on the farm and is also open to the public was also pleasant to visit - dog friendly with very nice breakfast, cheesecake and friendly service. If you are looking for luxury, this cottage may not be for you. The kitchen is only basically equipped (including cutlery) and the wooden deck is tired from the constant high humidity. There is only a bath, no shower. There is a four plate gas stove that is lit with matches and the oven was a challenge. However, there is a good microwave and fridge. The main house is right next to the cottage, but it was mostly quiet. The resident dogs were not too enthusiastic when they spotted our dog, but kept their distance and we were happy to be able to bring him along. Overall it was a very pleasant experience because it's a nice environment with a lot to do, and also nothing, if you need peace.

Sielsverkwikkend.

'n Lieflike plekkie. Die eienaar se honde het met ons aankoms kom groet, maar nie weer gepla nie en ons het dit vreeslik geniet om ongestoord op die plaas te kon stap met ons hondjies. Die koffiewinkel binne stapafstand is 'n groot plus en die personeel baie verwelkomend en vriendelik. Beslis een van my gunsteling wegbreke! Ek wil wel voorstel dat kantgordyne in die slaapkamer gehang moet word om privaatheid te skep, veral omdat die venster aan die hoofhuis se kant is en 'n mens verkieslik nie met die gordyne toegetrek wil leef nie. Ek sou ook graag 'n opsie wou gehad het om te kon stort. Alhoewel dit nie gepla het om te bad nie, was dit moeilik om in- en uit die bad te klim omdat die bad laag en diep is, veral vir iemand wat 'n knieoperasie ondergaan het.

Soul invigorating.

A lovely place. The owner's dogs came to greet us upon our arrival, but did not bother us again and we really enjoyed being able to walk undisturbed on the farm with our puppies. The coffee shop within walking distance is a big plus and the staff very welcoming and friendly. Definitely one of my favorite getaways! I would suggest that lace curtains should be hung in the bedroom to create privacy, especially since the window is on the main house side and one would prefer not to live with the curtains drawn. I would also have liked an option to be able to take a shower. Although she didn't mind bathing, getting in and out of the tub was difficult because the tub is low and deep, especially for someone who had knee surgery.

Relaxing, beautiful views with lovely walks around the farm.

We were between houses and stayed at Turaco Cottage for a week. We loved the fact that we could have our dogs with us. We were pretty much left alone, which we liked. If we had any issues, the host was quick to assist. Beautiful views and walks around the farm made our stay even more enjoyable.

Kuier was rustig en ontspanne.

Die huisie kort 'n bietjie verf. Die linkerkantste wasbakkraan was los. Die kothuis het net 'n bad. Sou 'n stort verkies. Daar was spinnerakke op die klippe by die kaggel. Die omgewing is beeldskoon en die gasheer vriendelik.

Ok, not the best, at least it has a good view.

The location sent via SMS takes you to the incorrect area. The WiFi does not work. The cupboard is infested with dead ants. The bunk beds were not stable, so we could not utilize both; one person ended up sleeping on the couch. One of the pillows and the bedding in the queen-sized bed had spots of blood on it. Only two towels left out for four guests. The house does need a repaint.

We had lovely walks around the farm accompanied by 2 eager, well disciplined dogs.

The kitchen is well equipped, bedding was comfortable and warm. Power was intermittently off due to loadshedding and probably weather, but a good led light and candles were provided. Please note that no coffee, tea or hairdryer is provided. Stay was comfortable nonetheless due to fireplace, gas stove, and we had no issues with warm water.

Uiters goeie ligging vir Magoebaskloof-omgewing. Ons het vir drie nagte gebly en het elke dag 'n reis na onder andere: Haenertsburg, Zakwala en so paar staproetes ingewerk. Die huisie bied alles wat mens benodig met 'n ongelooflik mooi uitsig, perfek vir lekker kuier.

Ons was baie gasvry verwelkom deur die eienaars van die plaas en hulle het vinnig ons kom help as ons iets benodig het. Baie goeie diens. En oulike hondjies wat mens kom groet in die oggende.

Retreat in the garden.

We enjoyed a quiet and peaceful week on the farm. The cottage was well- equipped, just needed a toaster. And offered a stunning view of Ebenezer Dam, offered very comfortable sleep and a cozy fireplace on colder nights. Although the cottage is close to the farm house, it was still private and we barely saw the owners. Staff are friendly and on call, if one needs assistance!

Ons gaan na Turaco wanneer ons die stad uit ons bloed wil kry, en dit het nog nooit teleurgestel nie. Alles wat Magoebaskloof-omgewing bied is maklik ook maklik binne bereik, en van verveeld raak is daar nie sprake nie. Só moet mens rus!

Ons kom beslis weer hier kuier!

As jy hou van 'n rustige selfsorg-wegbreek, volop voëllewe, wonderlike uitstappies in dennewoude, 'n uitsig wat deur min geklop word, en binne maklike bereik van alles wat Magoebaskloof jou kan bied, is dit 'n bestemming wat op jou moet-doen lysie behoort te wees.

Pleasant spot but very close to main house and bouncy bed.

Nice outlook one way but looked on to main house the other. Clean and well equipped. The bed was very bouncy so every movement was transmitted to your partner. The restaurant on the premises provided an excellent meal.

'n Wonderlike wegbreek wat volkome aan al ons vereistes voldoen.

Die kothuis is volledig toegerus, netjies en ruim. Die uitsig deur die vensters en vanaf die stoep stel nie teleur nie, en die menige voetslaan opsies is gemaklik binne bereik. Daar is baie om te doen in die omgewing as jy aktief is, en hierdie kothuis is so aantreklik as jy rustig wil tuisbly en die dam, woude en voëls geniet. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en wonderlik hanteer deur die gasheer. Julle sien ons beslis gou weer!

A wonderful getaway, exactly what we required.

The cottage is fully equipped, neat, and spacious. The view from the windows and from the patio did not disappoint. Lots of hking options available and within reach. There's lots to do in the area if you like staying active, and this cottage is also nice if you just want to relax at home and enjoy the dam, woods, and birds. Friendly reception and great service from the host. You will definitely see us soon!

Pragtige uitsigte.

Die enigste negatiewe aspek is dat ons nie langer gebly het nie! Ek en my vrou het 4 aande spandeer en het eerlikwaar met swaar harte van die plaas af vertrek. Die dam is pragtig, ons het elke oggend gaan fietsry - daar is genoeg ryplek op die plaas en om die dam. Ons het meer as genoeg hout gehad vir die kaggel, die restaurant op die plaas is puik, die plaaseienaars en personeel is almal vriendelik en behulpsaam. Selfs "Starbuck", die hond op die plaas, is vriendelik. Dit was 'n fantastiese week en ons kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie.

Stunning views.

Such a pity we couldn't stay longer! My wife and I stayed 4 nights and we left the farm with heavy hearts. Beautiful dam, went cycling every morning - you can cycle on the farm and round the dam. More than enough wood for the fireplace, excellent restaurant on the farm, the owners of the farm and the staff are really friendly. Even "Starbuck" the dog is such a friendly doggie. What an awesome week we can't wait be back.

Netjies maar nie privaat nie.

Turaco is baie goed geleë met 'n nice uitsig, en goeie diens. My enigste probleem is dat dit nie privaat is nie, en reg langs 'n residensie (die plaashuis) geleë is. Sommige mense hou van totale privaatheid soos ek, en ek dink net hulle kan dit noem op hulle blad dat dit nie 100% privaat is nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Neat but not private.

Turaco is very well located with a nice view, and good service. My only problem is that it is not private, and is located right next to a residence (the farmhouse). Some people like total privacy like me, and I think only they can mention on their page that it is not 100% private.

Great location, but cottage missing finer touches.

We stayed at Turaco while attending a wedding in the area. The location and views of the cottage is superb and I would in all likelihood return. However we missed some of the finer touches that would have made the stay more enjoyable. We arrived late Friday afternoon to a freezing cottage. While there were big logs in the fireplace there was no blitz or newspaper to get the fire going. The gas heater did not have a gas cylinder. While the owners were away the weekend we were there we would be skeptical to book if they were home, as the cottage's bedroom windows and door look out onto their home. This means you would have to keep everything dark and closed up if you wanted privacy in the bedroom. There is also no mirror with enough light to do make up or your hair. It's a minor issue, but if you are here for a wedding and want to look your best, it's important. There is also no shower and the bed's mattress needs replacing as you sink into the middle. We were looking forward to taking a hike on the farm as we read about a waterfall in one of the reviews, but there was no info in the cottage regarding on-farm activities. The cottage has an amazing selection of books and if we were not there for a wedding we would have spent the whole weekend reading! I've mentioned a lot of negatives, but considering the overall feel and location of the cottage, we did have an enjoyable stay and the cottage is quaint, neat and spacious.

Farm Cottage.

As jy 'n plekkie soek waar dit net jy en die natuur is, is hierdie plekkie vir jou. Die uitsig is asemrowend mooi, en die blomme orals om jou verwelkom jou nog meer. Die vars bloubessie-sap smaak net na meer. Jy verloor jouself as jy die werk van God se hande aanskou deur af te stap na die waterval. Baie dankie vir die ervaring! Ons het dit geniet om deel te kon wees van so 'n spesiale plekkie.

The fresh blueberry juice just tastes like more. You lose yourself when you witness the work of God's hands by walking down to the waterfall. Thank you very much for the experience! We enjoyed being part of such a special place.

Pragtige ligging en 'n baie gerieflike cottage.

Pragtige ligging en baie gerieflike cottage. Eienaars is vriendelik en baie behulpsaam. Cottage baie naby aan die hoofhuis. Indien jy jou troeteldier saamneem, maak seker jou vierpotige vriend kom goed oor die weg met ander honde, want ons tweetjies was nie gelukkig om 'n nuwe maat te maak nie – ten spyte daarvan dat die maatjie regtig vriendelik was. Daar is ook nie grensdrade nie. Gelukkig het die eienaars uit hul pad gegaan om die probleem op te los en daarvoor is ons baie dankbaar. Mens word ook heerlik bederf met “blueberry muffins”!

Beautiful location and very comfortable cottage. Owners are friendly and very helpful. Cottage very close to the main house. If you bring your pet with you, make sure your four-legged friend gets along well with other dogs, because our two were not happy to make a new friend - despite the fact that the friend was really friendly. There are also no boundary wires. Fortunately, the owners went out of their way to solve the problem and for that we are very grateful. One is also deliciously spoiled with "blueberry muffins"!

Fantastic location and views and great for dogs!

We had a lovely time - the cottage really suited our needs. The views were stunning. Great location for bird watching and lovely to let the dogs run through the pine forests. Hospitality was excellent! Jon and Jean were on the ball and the small extras such as blueberry muffins (at no extra cost) were just wonderful. They even offered to look after our two dogs if we wanted to go into Haenertsburg. We will definitely be going back later in the year.

Die kothuis is baie netjies en word daagliks gediens. Daar is lekker stapplek, veral na die bokant van die waterval. Lekker visgevang in die meer. Die klein stoepie het ongelukkig geen dak nie, maar daar is 'n pragtige uitsig daarvandaan. Sal beslis weer soontoe gaan.

Turaco Farm Cottage is 'n verfrissende en aangename ervaring. Die plek spel rustigheid in 'n pragtige landskap.

Verblyf in Turaco Farm Cottage is aan te bevele. 'n Aangename snoesige verblyfplek. Binnekant is die dekor eenvoudig, maar mooi en aangenaam. Toebehore is volledig en in 'n goeie werkende toestand. Ek sou van 'n stort gehou het - een wat so in die vallei af kyk. Buitekant kort die stoepe 'n oor-doen en die kothuis self 'n hele paar kanne verf. Die eerste stel trappe direk van die parkeerplek af na die huis kort kundige aandag - 'n stuk of ses trappe van elk om en by 400 mm (vier honderd milimeter) hoog is onooglik, skep 'n gevaar en klim moeilik. Aangesien dit 'n klam en nat klimaat is, kan plaveisel vir die parkeerplek vir die enkele voertuig wat daar moet staan oorweeg word - dit kan maar 'n modderige spul afgee. Lekker gebly!

Turaco Farm Cottage is a refreshing and enjoyable experience. The place spells tranquility in a beautiful landscape.

Accommodation in Turaco Farm Cottage is recommended. A pleasant cozy place to stay. Inside, the decor is simple, but nice and pleasant. Accessories are complete and in good working order. I would have liked a shower - one that looked down the valley like that. Outside, the porches need a re-do and the cottage itself needs several coats of paint. The first set of stairs directly from the parking space to the house needs expert attention - a stretch of six steps each around 400mm (four hundred millimeters) high is unsightly, creates a hazard and is difficult to climb. As this is a damp and wet climate, paving could be considered for the parking space for the single vehicle that needs to be parked there - it can just give off a muddy mess. Nice stay!
