Umpukane is voorwaar uniek en besonders.

Umpukane is beslis die beste plek waar ek nog gebly het. Annelie is tegemoedkomend en aangenaam en haar aandag aan detail en pogings om jou verblyf so gemaklik en aangenaam te maak as moontlik, het geen perke nie. Die "cottage" waar ek gebly het, het alles wat jy nodig het en ek was aangenaam verras om te sien hoe groot en ruim die "cottage" is. 'n Mens se siel en liggaam het net geen keuse as om totaal te ontspan by Umpukane! Dit is beslis 'n plek waarheen ek beslis weer sal teruggaan, maar volgende keer gaan dit nie vir besigheid wees nie. Ek voel mens het ten minste 'n week nodig om die natuurskoon en rustigheid te kan geniet.

Umpukane is truly unique and special.

Umpukane is definitely the best place I have ever stayed. Annelie is accommodating and pleasant and her attention to detail and efforts to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible have no limits. The "cottage" where I stayed has everything you need and I was pleasantly surprised to see how big and spacious the "cottage" is. One's soul and body have no choice but to totally relax at Umpukane! This is definitely a place I will definitely go back to again, but next time it won't be for business. I feel that one needs at least a week to be able to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility.

Pragtige natuurskoon, baie rustige omgewing en gasvrye diens.

Ons het 'n rustige naweek gesoek om batterye te kan herlaai - die tyd by die akkommodasie was dit alles en nog meer! Pragtige natuurskoon met 'n plaasgevoel; die "Cottage" was netjies en skoon en alles wat ons nodig gehad het, was daar.

Vriendelike, netjiese en goed geleë plaaskuier.

Dit was so lekker om midde 'n donderstorm, vriendelik ontvang te word by die deur deur Annelie. Lekker plaasvars melk en fonteinwater in die yskas en selfs vars blomme op die etenstafel. Sal definitief weer hier oorslaap en volgende keer langer vertoef om die plaas en omgewing bietjie te verken.

Plaasverblyf op sy beste.

Ons het al dikwels via die webtuiste op plase gebly. Umpukane was eenvoudig een van die beste. Die gasvrou het na al ons behoeftes omgesien en 'n paar ekstras voorsien (plaaslike druiwesap). Die uitsig vanaf The Cottage is lieflik en daar is soveel plek om te stap en dinge om te doen dat ons veel langer as die 3 nagte sou wou bly.

Farm stay at its best.

We have often stayed on farms via the website. Umpukane was simply one of the best. The hostess took care of all our needs and provided a few extras (local grape juice). The view from The Cottage is lovely and there are so many places to walk and things to do that we would have liked to stay much longer than the 3 nights.

Fantastiese wegbreek

Ons het baie goeie en vriendelike diens gekry tydens ons verblyf. Die huis is pragtig, ruim en baie netjies. Die ekstra verwarmers en ondervloerverhitting was baie welkom in die aande. Die kinders het dit veral geniet om in die tuin te speel en te verken terwyl ons net lekker kon ontspan. Die uitsig en omgewing is fantasties. Ons is definitief van plan om weer 'n draai te kom maak.

Die cottage het aan al ons verwagtinge voldoen. Daar is mooi uitsigte vanaf die grasperk, die kombuisie is goed toegerus en dit was heerlik warm met 'n verwarmer en elektriese komberse wat voorsien is. Die fonteinwater is 'n bonus en die groenigheid van die omgewing in die huisie was spesiaal. Daar was baie moeite gedoen om ons verblyf aangenaam te maak- ons het dit baie geniet!

A cozy cottage, with everything you need situated at the base of a mountain on a picturesque farm.

Although we only spent one night in the cottage it was really well equipped with beautiful views. Our host was very friendly and made sure we were settled and happy with the accommodation. The cottage has proper farm decor which adds to its appeal. We would definitely like to return for a longer stay to fully benefit from the walks available on the farm and to enjoy the tranquillity it offers.

'n Lafenis en geleentheid om 'n mens se batterye te herlaai.

Ek is oortuig die son kom in die ganse Oos-Vrystaat nie so mooi op soos hier nie, en gaan ook nie so mooi onder nie. Lieflike ligging. Lieflike uitsig. Lieflike stap. Lieflike mense. Wat ons nie reg vir die oond of braai by die padstalle om die draai kon koop nie, kon Clocolan, ook net om die draai, voorsien. Daar is gevoel van afsondering, sonder dat daar noodwendig afsondering is. Hartlike ontvangs en Suid-Afrikaanse gasvryheid sonder opdringerigheid. The Rock het lieflike uitsig om met 'n skemerkelkie te geniet. The Cottage se uitsig van die braai-area is tweede.

An opportunity to recharge one's batteries.

I am convinced that the sun does not rise as beautifully in the entire Eastern Free State as it does here, and doesn't set as beautifully as well. Lovely location. Lovely view. Lovely walks. Lovely people. What we couldn't buy for the oven or braai right around the corner at the roadside stalls, Clocolan, just around the corner, could provide. There is a feeling of seclusion, without necessarily having seclusion. Warm reception and South African hospitality without intrusiveness. The Rock has lovely views to enjoy with a cocktail. The Cottage's view of the braai area is second.

Heerlik gekuier by Helene en Fanie. Vars plaasmelk en produkte uit die tuin was treffers.

Mooiste plaas met 'n pragtige uitsig.

Eenheid is baie netjies, maar kort nog so hier en daar finale afwerking. Het dit baie geniet om daar te kon wees, hoewel die eenheid nie gesluit kon word nie, wat dit tog veilig en baie rustig. Spaarkamer se 2 enkelbeddens is bitter sag en ongemaklik vir 'n volwasse persoon. Verder is alles mooi.

Most beautiful farm with a beautiful view.

Unit is very neat, but still needs finishing here and there. Really enjoyed being there, although the unit could not be locked, which made it safe and very peaceful. Spaarkamer's 2 single beds are very soft and uncomfortable for an adult person. Other than that, everything is beautiful.

Enjoy a stay on a Free State farm.

Cottage with you own space to enjoy a lovely farm. Explore the farm by foot or mtb bicycles or lovely route west past the game farm with plenty of game to be seen from the gravel road if you drive or pedal a 72 km loop as we did.

Dit was regtig 'n plekkie wat ons graag weer wil kom besoek vir 'n langer tydperk!

Ons gesinnetjie van 6, 2 kinders en 2 babas, het hierdie wegbreek so geniet! Die naweek was net te kort om alles in te pas! Volgende keer gaan ons definitief die ander staproetes kom verken. Die kinders het die yskoue water by die swempoel baie geniet! Hopelik kan ons volgende keer die visse ook uitoorlê! Dit was regtig 'n goeie herinnering/ervaring vir ons!

A place we'd love to visit again for a longer period!

Our family of 6 (2 children and 2 babies) really enjoyed this breakaway. The weekend was too short to fit in everything. Next time we'll definitely come to explore the other hiking trails. The children really enjoyed the cold water by the pool. Hopefully next time we'll win the fish over too! We made great memories.

Baie oop spasie met pragtige natuur en berge.

Ons het 'n kans gevat en was verras met die stilte, natuurskoon en gasvryheid van die mense. Dankie Annelie - dit was great. Dit is koud in die winter - so elektriese komberse en verwarmers is voorsien (wat baie goed gewerk het). 'n Klein oondjie sal 'n baie goeie bykomstigheid wees vir die huise - verder was die bergklim besonders lekker en gee mens die geleentheid om iets buite in die natuur te beleef. Wonderlike opsie vir die hele gesin.

Lots of open space with beautiful nature and mountains.

We took a chance and were surprised with the silence, scenery and hospitality of the people. Thank you Annelie - it was great. It is cold in the winter - so electric blankets and heaters were provided (which worked very well). A small oven would be a very good accessory for the houses - furthermore, the mountain climbing was particularly fun and gives you the opportunity to experience something outside in nature. Great option for the whole family.

In die skoonheid en die stilte van die natuur kan 'n mens jou siel verkwik.

Dit is 'n pragtige plaas met 'n lieflike uitsig in alle rigtings. Daar is heelwat heuwels en berge om te klim, mooi wandelpaaie, 'n pragtige fontein met helder water, groen grasvlaktes, wilgerbome wat in die wind swaai. Die rugtige plaasatmosfeer leen hom daartoe om ten volle te ontspan. Daar is staproetes, drafroetes en klimroetes vir die besige ouens. Ander kan heerlik lê onder 'n boom om die pragtige geil gras en lees, teken of sommer net die wolke lê en beskou. Vir seker 'n moet om terug te keer na die natuur en sy helende uitwerking op die siel. Ons het uitgerus teruggekom.

In the beauty and silence of nature one can refresh one's soul.

It is a beautiful farm with a lovely view in all directions. There are many hills and mountains to climb, beautiful walking paths, a beautiful spring with clear water, green grass plains, willow trees swaying in the wind. The rustic farm atmosphere lends itself to complete relaxation. There are walking routes, jogging routes and climbing routes for the busy guys. Others can lie under a tree around the beautiful grass and read, draw or just lie and look at the clouds. For sure a must to return to nature and its healing effects on the soul. We came back rested.

Pragtige omgewing, waarde vir geld.

Die plaas is pragtig, heerlike verblyf! Heleen en Annerie het ons baie welkom laat voel. Mens moet net ongelukkig 'n ver ent ry om vis te vang of by die kloof te gaan swem. 'n Swembad nader aan chalets sal beslis goeie toevoeging wees.

The farm is beautiful, great stay! Heleen and Annerie made us feel very welcome. Unfortunately, you only have to drive a long way to catch fish or go swimming at the gorge. A swimming pool closer to chalets would certainly be a good addition.

Baie dankie vir die hulpvaardige gesindheid van die gasvrou en almal wat betrokke is op die plaas. Dit was voorwaar 'n plek om na terug te keer in die toekoms. Die huisie was netjies en ons het lekker gerus. Veilig sonder bekommernis geslaap.
