Comfortable and restful.

We had a great night's stay here. The cleanliness and layout of the place is great, pet friendly on request. We had a wonderful braai area and our pup was all too happy to be there and explore.

Ons sal graag weer wil kom bly.

Die verblyf in Turksvygrivier Safari's was fenomenaal. Die akkommodasie was van hoë gehalte. Ons seuns het lekker weg van pa en ma in die "hout huis" geslaap. Ons het selfs ons 2 brakkies saamgeneem en hulle het die plaaslewe vreeslik geniet. Die gemeenskaplike kuierarea was baie goed toegerus. Die kameelperdvel het my Pug in sy spoor gestuit, ons moes hom daaroor dra, dit was skreeusnaaks. Ons het selfs in die plaasdam gaan afkoel, en binne sekondes weer droog gewaai. Dit was 'n wonderlike siel-vullende wegbreek van die stadslewe. Baie dankie dat ons hier vir 2 aande onsself weer kon kom vind. Dankie ook vir die lekker koffie en beskuit, alhoewel ons Madam/Eve, die beskuit namens ons kom geniet het (ons moes dit nie op die tafel gelaat het nie). Ons het hulle net soveel geniet. Sien julle weer binnekort!

We would love to come and stay again.

The stay in Turksvygy River Safaris was phenomenal. The accommodation was of high quality. Our boys slept well away from father and mother in the "wooden house". We even took our 2 brats with us and they really enjoyed the farm life. The common visiting area was very well equipped. The giraffe skin stopped my Pug in his tracks, we had to carry him over it, it was hilarious. We even went to cool off in the farm pond, and were blown dry again within seconds. It was a wonderful soul-filling break from city life. Thank you very much that we could find ourselves here again for 2 nights. Thank you also for the nice coffee and rusk, although Madam/Eve came to enjoy the rusk on our behalf (we shouldn't have left it on the table). We enjoyed them just as much. See you again soon!

Heerlik, onspanne gasvry.

Ons het heerlik na 'n warm Desembersdag in die dam baljaar. Pragtige diere langs die dam gesien. Voor die vuur tot laat na naggeluide geluister.

Lovely, relaxed hospitality.

We had a great time frolicking in the pond after a hot December day. Beautiful animals seen along the dam. In front of the fire listened to night sounds until late.

Rus vir siel en gees!

Stilte, natuurgeluide, stap, kano, swem in dam, skoon lug, uitgestrektheid van die Karoo en plaasatmosfeer was werklik salf vir die gemoed. Sterre skyn helder. Ons het gehou van die rugged en basic aanslag. Amper vergeet ek: ons is bederf met roosterkoek en die heerlikste konfyt - behoorlik vingers afgelek - petit-groenvyekonfyt van die plaas af. Damhuis kort net nog 'n trappie of iets - veral as mens se knie nie lekker is nie - dit is nét te hoog.

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

Rest for soul and spirit!

Silence, nature sounds, walking, canoeing, swimming in a pond, clean air, vastness of the Karoo and farm atmosphere were truly salve for the soul. Stars shine brightly. We liked the rugged and basic approach. I almost forgot: we were spoiled with grilled cake and the most delicious jam - really finger licking good - petit green fig jam from the farm. Damhuis just needs another step or something - especially if one's knee is not good - it's just too high.

Could be best for groups, not individuals, as there is no security at the gate.

We were 2 females. The fact that we were all by ourselves on the farm made us feel unsafe. Otherwise the stay has a potential of being suitable for a group holiday.

Wat 'n voorreg om hier te kon bly. Alhoewel die weer nie saamgespeel het nie kon ons nogsteeds lekker binne sit elkeen met 'n roosterkoek in die hand langs die binnebraai!

Ons het bietjie laat geloop en het per sms gereël om na die aankomstyd eers arriveer. Ekstra moeite is gedoen om ons welkom te laat voel na ons lang rit.

What a privilege to be able to stay here. Although the weather didn't cooperate, we were still able to sit comfortably inside, each with a grilled cake in hand next to the indoor barbecue!

We were running a little late and arranged by text to arrive after the arrival time. Extra effort was made to make us feel welcome after our long drive.

Excellent service from our host. Resort was clean and very comfortable. Host assisted us with meat for braai, as town did not have any facilities to purchase any groceries. Thank you very much for wonderful stay.

When we arrived in town at Pearston, we found that there was no shop to purchase groceries, and meat. Our host came to our rescue, and supplied us with some fresh karoo lamb ribs, and venison wors to braai. We were also upgraded to a more luxurious room, at no extra expense. I am truly thankful to our host, and we had a wonderful night's stay at the establishment. Peace and quiet to the highest degree. I pray that you receive some much needed rain soon, as it is heart-breaking to see the drought first hand. Thank you once again to all concerned.

Ongelooflike mooi, rustige area. 'n Sterrekyker se droom.

Die diens was goed en die area is vreeslik wild, nog met geen mensgemmakte dinge in sig nie. Die ideale wegbreekplek vir mense wat bietjie met hul gedagtes gelos wil word sonder enige mense of dinge wat hulle pla. Daar is geen ligbesoedeling nie so mense wat hou van sterrekyk sal ook die plek baie waardeer. 'n Regte Karoo-ervaring!

Incredibly beautiful, peaceful area. A stargazer's dream.

The service was good and the area is terribly wild, still with no human-made things in sight. The ideal getaway for people who want to be left with their thoughts without any people or things bothering them. There is no light pollution so people who like stargazing will also appreciate the place a lot. A real Karoo experience!

Mooi omgewing, goeie geriewe, baie lekker om op 'n werkende plaas te slaap weg van verkeer en ander geraas.

Kinders gee hanslammers kos, swem in die sement dam, maak vuur met kersbos en speel in die ope Karoo lug terwyl die son pienk skilder teen laat middag. Baie lekker slaapgeriewe.

Nice surroundings, good facilities, very nice to sleep on a working farm away from traffic and other noise.

Children feed hanslammers, swim in the cement pond, make a fire with a cherry bush and play in the open Karoo sky while the sun paints pink in the late afternoon. Very nice sleeping facilities.

Netjiese verblyf wat in jou basiese behoeftes voorsien.

Dit is 'n netjiese houthuisie met all die benodigdhede vir jou basiese behoeftes. Ongelukkig met die verskriklike droogte in die omgewing was die fotos misleidend. Die dam waarlangs die huis gebou is en wat op die fotos verskyn, is heeltemal opgedroog (al vir 'n paar jaar blykbaar). Gelukkig was daar 'n lieflike koel en silwerskoon plaasdam waar ons kon afkoel, maar nog steeds nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Neat accommodation that meets your basic needs.

It is a neat wooden house with all the necessities for your basic needs. Unfortunately with the terrible drought in the area the photos were misleading. The dam next to which the house was built and which appears in the photos has completely dried up (for a few years apparently). Luckily there was a lovely cool and spotless farm pond where we could cool off, but still not what we expected.

Hi Samantha

Baie dankie vir jou resensie. Jammer as ons nie voldoen het in julle verwagtinge nie, maar ongelukkig kan ons nie die weer bepaal nie en die droogte het die hele Karoo in rep en roer. Ons het wel nou uiteindelik baie lekker reën gehad en die dam sprankel weer vol water.

Hopelik sien ons julle weer eendag en dat julle 'n dam vol water sal sien.

Groete
