Klaas' cottage was not available due to water problems. It was no problem for Santa, she accommodated us at a neighboring farm, Riverstill. Had a great time and everything was fine.

Come to rest.
We had a great stay at Up The Creek. If you want to rest and get away from it all, this is the ideal place. The cottage is very comfortable and it was lovely to sit by the river and just listen to the birds and the water. Santa is a hostess thousand. She went out of her way to explain to us the easiest way to the Pilansberg Nature Reserve, where we spent a lovely day.

Basic accommodation on a farm in the woods near Groot Marico. Clean and tidy. Was only disappointed that the beautiful view in the photo was unattainable. Road was impassable there. One expects the view when you book there, but it was just forest around the cottage. (I see the view photo is not one of the ones shown below.)

Die ingesteldheid en verwagting waarmee 'n mens gaan, bepaal ook baie wat jou belewing gaan wees So jammer julle kon nie die mooi skoon huisie en fantastiese natuur meer geniet nie. Die net bietjie meer as 1 km grondpad, ry ons daagliks met ons Toyota Corolla wat laag is en ons het geen probleme. Jy moet net bietjie stadig en geduldig wees, dis al wat nodig is.

Now that's "bosveld TV" at its best! The natural beauty and silence let you completely relax, it's not luxurious at all, no WiFi or "gimmicks", but still as if you're visiting grandma and grandpa on the farm! All the essentials are at your disposal and simply support the local greengrocer, butcher or "mansapteek" (the bottle store) and then there are also convenient cafes, which offer fresh farm milk, bread etc. sell. Wag A Little Restaurant and Pub makes delicious food and you can watch rugby or sport there while taking something cold for the throat. Thank you Aunt Santa, we will do it again!

The visit here was fantastic. Nature is the highlight of everything here, one's thoughts get lost between the trees and the cliffs. The braai areas were comfortable and equipped. It's just the fans in the rooms that weren't enough and the one fan that was there was broken, the air was barely cool enough that it wasn't too bad. If you wander among the trees by the river, you feel as if you are walking in a fantasy forest.

Our guest cottages are above and not below the flood line, for your safety of course.
If you bring dogs to the Bushveld, in summer, expect to find ticks on them. There are no ticks in the cottage, as they need a host.
Rubbish bins are not provided outside, to discourage visits from local monkeys.

Place was dusty, bad road and not at all as pictures suggest.
I was disappointed, it was really misleading according to photos on Facebook. Place is really impractical and conservative. Shower incredibly dark corner with a lot of dust all over the place. My girlfriend's allergy was unbearable. Impractical furniture that is redundant. No microwave. Access road very poor and no mention of it in booking. Was an okay weekend, but really absolute basics. Bad ant problem too, getting into any containers or food that isn't kept in the fridge. Lack of mirrors in rooms. At least we no longer live in primitive times.

Up The Creek 's response
En ten spyte van hierdie ervaring, kan ons nie voorbly om die cottage te bespreek nie, gaste kom weer en weer terug om die basiese ongeskondenheid van Up The Creek by die rivier te kom geniet. Dit is die Noordweste, ons almal ry die 1.7 km grondpad met gewone sedan karre. Vir ons billike tariewe, kry gaste 'n volledig toegeruste kombuis met stoof, oond en yskas/vrieskas, 'n lieflike braai op die stoep, skoon beddegoed en die waarborg dat die cottage 'n dag voor die tyd volledig skoongemaak word. Jammer vir julle allergieë, daarmee het ons simpatie. Dis die eerste keer in 20 jaar dat iemand nie tevrede is met die lig in die stort nie, dit is deel van die badkamer se beligting, en net vir daardie ekstra romantiese atmosfeer is daar ook kerse aangebring.

Beautiful nature.
Had a very friendly reception. The house is very clean, I suggest if you go in the winter but take a heater with you. The directions are completely wrong, so we got a little lost at first, but Santa soon helped us and got us on the right path.

Ons is so geseënd om Up The Creek met gaste te kan deel. Ja, die natuur is pragtig. Ek sal met LekkeSlaap kontak maak en sien waar het die fout met die aanwysings gekom.
Kom kuier weer.

As ons 'n resensie kon gee van ons gaste, sou ek gesê het julle kry 10 uit 10. Ek is bly dat julle dit geniet het en dankie dat julle die kothuis so netjies agtergelaat het, nie dat dit nodig was nie omdat daar wel skoonmakers is, maar dan sien 'n mens gaste het respek en heg ook waarde aan dit wat vir ons kosbaar is. Mooi loop.

Okay please.
We had a wonderful stay, and we could feel that we were away from the crowds and noise of the city. The silence of the forest does wonders for the soul. Even though there were other guests on the farm, it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The children caught a nice black bass in the pond, we had a nice picnic and went cycling. Don't expect luxuries. Exactly how we prefer it. Although we never felt unsafe, I still think a little more attention could be paid to security. There are many mountain bike trails in the area, and I suggest that the information center have maps of the trails made and on hand.

Dis presies die ervaring wat ons graag wil hê ons gaste moet beleef. Die lieflike natuur, stilte, rustigheid, saam met gemaklike, maar nie ultra luukste akkommodasie nie, sodat dit met die bosveld atmosfeer kan geniet word. Boonop is jou sak is nie plat agterna nie. Baie dankie vir julle reaksie, kom weer.

It might have been a nice night. Nice view, nice silence away from the city.
The unit I booked (Klaas's Cottage) was unbearably hot. Fortunately, Santa warned me that this might be the case, and then also gave me the keys to the rondavel. That was definitely more pleasant. Unfortunately I had to leave before I could stay, I am a heart sufferer and forgot my pills at home. I had no choice but to drive back.

It is a lovely quiet place to relax and get away from the city noise.
A lovely, quiet place, but the linen and curtains are up! Needs to be replaced urgently.

We as a family had a great time relaxing. Don't believe the house is for everyone - don't expect anything fancy. Was fantastic taking our 4ft together. Braai area covered, even if it rained, we could still braai.

Dankie vir de positiewe kommentaar, dit was 'n plesier om julle as gaste te hê.
Wat waarde vir geld aanbetref kan 'n mens nie beter kry nie, by die rivier, lieflike natuur, veilig en gemaklik ingerig. Ingesluit is beddegoed, elektrisiteit, oulike onderdak braaiplek en dit vir R 170.00 per persoon per nag.
Ons doen dit graag vir ons gaste omdat ons self lief is vir diere en ook omdat ons graag ons mooi omgewing deel.

Dear Joseph,
Thank you for the positive feedback. We agree, it is indeed a real hide-away, special place.
You will agree that the bedding and blankets on the beds were immaculate clean. I am sorry that you have landed up in the cleaners cupboard, but I went to the cottage after your stay and I really couldn't find the smelly stuff, it is cleaned regularly, but it is also true that we do not use any sprays or chemical stuff like doom - as we love creation and nature. And 99% of our guests appreciate and honour that. Come again, on the house.

It was peace and quiet for the soul.
I want to say first of all: this weekend was worth more than a week's vacation. The fresh air, the nature, the most beautiful brightest stars. The farm does your heart and soul good. Piece of heaven on earth. The rondavel is fully and beautifully furnished and is very nice and clean. The people are all very friendly and helpful. The owner Oom Piet is very kind and friendly. We want to say thank you for the value for our money. It was nice and we will definitely visit again soon.

Oom Piet is die eienaar van Up The Creek. Hy is mal oor die plek en mal oor die mense, om vir hulle goed te ontvang en te wys wat daar te sien is. Dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoering. Dit is vir ons 'n riem onder die hart.

Ons hou van gaste wat hierdie spesiale plekkie kan waardeer, privaat en tog veilig, en net die regte plekkie vir buitelug mense. Het julle die wandelpaadjies by die rivier probeer en die swemgat by die kranse?

Quaint place to relax far from the city.
We enjoyed the place, there was just a weird smell in the main bedroom. It would also be great if they could leave an extra roll of toilet paper in the house. But the place was absolutely stunning and we would definitely recommend it to others. We would also love to visit again. The natural surroundings are breathtaking and very peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our break from the city.
