Heerlike, gemaklike verblyf in die natuurskoon.

Vaalwater Bush Camp se verblyf is 'n uitstekende kombinasie van waarde vir geld en 'n gemaklike lekker bly. Die huisie was knus en warm ingerig met alles wat mens nodig kan hê vir oornag of sommer lekker lang verblyf. Die stort alleen was 'n lekker luxury, met heerlike warm water en spasie. Ek sal dit hoogs aanbeveel vir groot familie saamtrekke of wegbreke - daar is spasie vir kuier en ontspan, nog baie huisies, en is geleë op die pragtige grasperke vir buite eet en braai. Die hosts was vriendelik en stiptelik en het ons voorsien van kaarte vir die Baviaans en informasie oor paaie en geriewe op die pad. Die ligging is uitstekend vir dag uitstappies na pragtige dorpies en verkenning van die Baviaans. Ten slotte, die nagte is pure magic, met sterre en paddas!

Lovely, comfortable accommodation in the natural beauty.

Vaalwater Bush Camp's accommodation is an excellent combination of value for money and a comfortable stay. The house was cozy and warmly furnished with everything one could need for an overnight stay or just a nice long stay. The shower alone was a nice luxury, with lovely hot water and space. I would highly recommend it for large family gatherings or getaways - there is space for visiting and relaxing, many more cottages, and is situated on the beautiful lawns for outdoor dining and barbecuing. The hosts were friendly and punctual and provided us with maps for the Baboons and information about roads and facilities on the way. The location is excellent for day trips to beautiful villages and exploring the Baboons. Finally, the nights are pure magic, with stars and frogs!

Beslis 'n plekkie om te kom rus.

Dit was so lekker rustig, tot die kinders het die rustigheid geniet. Kian, ons Capuchin-kind, het hom verkyk aan die skapies en tot hy was gemaklik en rustig.

Die omgewing is baie mooi. Geriewe is baie skoon en netjies. Gasvrouens het ons baie welkom laat voel. Ons het ook plaaslike tuisgebak as welkom ontvang. Dit was 'n baie verfrissende en bedagsame gebaar. Gasvrou het ook d.m.v. Whatsapp ingeloer.

Gulhartige, gasvrye gasheer en gasvrou. Bereid om 'n myl saam te stap. Sout van die aarde! Fasilliteit is skoon, funksioneel en gerieflik.

Kritiek: 'n Reëling met hake waaraan klere gehang kan word, ontbreek (of iets soortgelyk).

Bekostigbare oornagverbyf.

Stil, veilige en rustige omgewing. Mense in winter moet maar gewaarsku wees dat eenhede baie skraps gemeubileer is, met geen matte, warm komberse, of verwarmers nie. Foto's moet gerus opgedateer word. Die eenhede is ruimer as wat foto's toon. Die ligging en omgewing is ook mooier. Ongelukkig is somersbeddegoed koud in winter, geen matte op vloer, laat die eenheid snags erg koud. 'n Bietjie hartlike koffie/tee/koffie/suiker/melk en 'n beskuitjie op eg Suid Afrikaanse manier, sal waardeer word.

Affordable overnight accommodation.

Quiet, safe and peaceful environment. People in winter should be warned that units are very sparsely furnished, with no carpets, warm blankets, or heaters. Photos should be updated. The units are more spacious than photos show. The location and surroundings are also more beautiful. Unfortunately summer bedding is cold in winter, no carpets on floor, makes the unit very cold at night. A little hearty coffee/tea/coffee/sugar/milk and a biscuit in true South African fashion will be appreciated.

Het voldoen aan ons behoeftes vir 'n een-nag oorslaap.

Vir die prys is dit nie te sleg nie, kamer darem groot, kon lekker buite op die stoep braai. Darem 'n groot yskas. Lekker rustig daar. Kort net wifi, daar is geen selontvangs nie. Die ligging was reg vir ons, omdat ons naby Baviaanskloof wou wees om vroeg te begin met die pas.

Met our needs for a one-night stay.

For the price it's not too bad, at least the room is big, could have a nice barbecue outside on the stoep. At least a big fridge. Nice and quiet there. Only lacks wifi, there is no cell reception. The location was right for us, as we wanted to be close to Baviaanskloof to start the pass early.

Rustig, bevredigend, privaat.

Mense wat die besluit neem om Baviaanskloof te ry, het klaar besluit dat sekere geriewe nie besikbaar sal wees nie, soos selfoonontvangs, restaurante ens. in die kloof. Vaalwater het egter die verwagtinge oortref, behalwe dat die warm water in die stort omtrent nie bestaan nie. Of dit herstel of verbeter kan word? Hopelik.

Rustic, rustig, goeie ligging vir Bavisanskloofpas, Willowmore en Uniondale.

Eenvoudige netjiiese verblyf, goeie opsie as jy die Baviaanskloof en omgewing wil explore. Hesmé baie vriendelike en aangename gasvrou. Man en seuns dierbaar en behulpsaam. Ablusieblokke baie netjies en skoon. Lieflike karooplaas-atmosfeer. Storte ruim, maar van die stortkoppe verstop en stortgordyn onprakties. Het in Langhuis oornag met twee kamers, ablusieblok vir dames is ver, veral as dit reën en baie min oorhoofse dekking as dit reën, wat in ons geval was. Grondpad is rybaar, maar sal dalk uitdaging wees vir mense met 'n lae sedanvoertuig.

Ablution blocks very neat and clean. Lovely karoo farm atmosphere. Showers spacious, but some of the shower heads blocked and shower curtain impractical. Stayed in Langhuis with two rooms, ablution block for ladies is far, especially when it rains and very little overhead cover when it rains, which was in our case. Dirt road is drivable, but may be challenging for people with a low sedan vehicle.

Baie netjiese, gerieflike, rustige en aangename verblyf. Sal graag weer aandoen.

Ons het ongelukkig net een nag by Vaalwater Bush Camp oorgeslaap terwyl ons onderweg was na Stilbaai. Ons probeer altyd om ander roetes as die hoofpaaie te gebruik om by ons eindbestemming uit te kom. So sien ons plekke waar ons nie voorheen was nie en beplan waar ons graag in die toekoms meer tyd sou wou deurbring.

Unfortunately, we only spent one night at Vaalwater Bush Camp while on our way to Stilbaai. We always try to use routes other than the main roads to get to our final destination. So we see places we haven't been before and plan where we would like to spend more time in the future.

Brief but very pleasant stay. Clean and tidy with everything we needed.

Our stay was just a short overnight stay on the way into the Baviaanskloof, but Vaalwater had everything we needed. It was clean and tidy. Esme was friendly and helpful. Only negative was that the shower did not work very well as there was very little water pressure.

Dit was die wonderlikste plek om te bly!

Die ligging, en verblyf. Ons was tuis in "Ons huisie". Die grondpad is mooi, die landskap wonderlik, die huisie met sy vuurherd binne is gesellig.. Die berg en plaasgevoel is goed vir ’n mens. Sal beslis weer daar gaan bly, een aand is te min!

It was the most amazing place to stay!

The location, and accommodation. We were at home in "Our little house". The dirt road is beautiful, the landscape wonderful, the house with its hearth inside is cosy.. The mountain and farm feel are good for a person. Will definitely stay there again, one night is too little!

Dit was n perfekte oorslaapplek op pad na die Biaviaanskloof toe.

Die huisie was lieflik. Volledig toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het - selfs n botteloopmaker. Dit is stil en rustig en die aanwysings was perfek. Klientediens was uitstaande en selfs toe ons vroeëer wou inkom, het Hesme ons geakkommodeer. Ons beveel dit sterk aan vir enige iemand wat op pad is of nou net deur die Baviaanskloof gekom het.

The cottage was lovely. Fully equipped with everything you need - even a bottle opener. It is quiet and peaceful and the directions were perfect. Customer service was outstanding and even when we wanted to come in earlier, Hesme accommodated us. We highly recommend it to anyone who is on their way or has just passed through the Baviaanskloof.

Ons het baie lekker en gesellig gebly. Dit was ons derde keer by Vaalwater en tweede keer in "Ons Huisie". Ek sal dit vir enigeen aanbeveel.

Ons Huisie is baie basies met alles wat nodig is om gerieflik te wees. Die huisie in mooi skoon en daar was genoeg komberse vir ons almal vir die koue nagte. Die vuurmaakplek in die leefvertrek is baie gesellig. Ons het heerlik gebly.

Rustic, yet comfortable self-catering house which overlooks pleasant farmlands.

A value for money stopover directly en route to the sought after Baviaanskloof. Very neat, tidy and comfortable with all the equipment one needs for self-catering, but no tea and coffee caddy, so be sure to bring your own. Our 'Onse Huisie' was right next to the road and for those wanting total peace and quiet I would suggest booking one of the units further away from the road.

Fantastiese oorstop so teen die grondpad af.

Ons was 'n gemengde groep. Ouma en oupa was in 'n kampeerwa. Broer, skoonsus en kleinding was in 'n chalet, en ons, met 'n klein baba was in 'n tent. Alhoewel dit ongeveer 32 km uit op die grondpad was, was die pad baie mooi geskraap. Daar is wel so 6.5 km vanaf die plaas, van Willowmore se kant af 'n rowwer stuk, maar al die voertuie het dit met gemak daardeur gemaak. Die stukkie grondpad laat mens reeds ontspanne voel en die natuurskoon is asemrowend. Die ontvangs was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam en die plaasgevoel was wonderlik. Jy word gegroet deur 3 plaashonde ook nog. Daar is staproetes en die fikser lot tussen ons het 'n baie goeie drafroete bekom. Die chalets is vreeslik skoon en baie prakties uitgelê. Die kampeerterrein is skoon, oop en kyk op na die koppies. Ons, in ons tentjie, was wel onkant gevang deur die dou en kondensasie teen die volgende oggend, maar dit is niks wat genoeg handdoeke nie kon oplos nie. Die ablusieblokke is netjies en daar is genoegsame water en druk vir 'n vars stort. Daar was wel een toilet wat nie gewerk het nie en om warm water te kry is 'n effense gestoei, met die aanname dat dit met gas verhit word. Ons sal die plaas definitief aanbeveel.

Fantastic stopover down the gravel road.

We were a mixed group. Grandma and grandfather were in a camper. Brother, son-in-law and little one was in a chalet, and we, with a little baby, were in a tent. Although it was about 32 km on the gravel road, the road was very well scraped. There is about 6.5 km from the farm, from Willowmore's side to a rough piece, but all the vehicles made it easily. The piece of dirt road makes one feel relaxed and the scenery is breathtaking. The reception was friendly and very helpful and the farm feeling was wonderful. You are also greeted by 3 farm dogs. There are hiking trails and the fitter fate between us has made a very good runway. The chalets are very clean and very practical. The campsite is clean, open and looks up to the hills. We, in our tent, were caught off guard by the dew and condensation by the next morning, but nothing that could not fix enough towels. The ablution blocks are neat and there is sufficient water and pressure for a fresh shower. There was one toilet that didn't work and to get hot water was a little wrestling, assuming it was heated with gas. We will definitely recommend the farm.

Ongelooflik.

Wat 'n wonderlike ondervinding. Ek, my tiener dogter en ouers het die voorste huisies gehad en heerlik gekuier. Alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het vir die 3 nagte se verblyf. Dit was ongelooflik netjies en Hesme was vriendelik en het gehelp met die vries van al die braai vleis. Die yskassie se vriesplek baie klein. Daar is heerlike dam om in te swem. Definitief 'n ondervinding wat ek en my ouers nooit sal vergeet nie. As jy wil wegkom van alles en net in die stilte van die natuur wil ontspan is dit dit die plek vir jou.

What a wonderful experience. Me, my teenage daughter and parents had the front houses and had a great time. Had everything we needed for the 3 night stay. It was incredibly neat and Hesme was friendly and helped with freezing all the barbecue meat. The bar fridge's freezer is very small. There is a lovely pond to swim in. Definitely an experience that my parents and I will never forget. If you want to get away from everything and just relax in the silence of nature, this is the place for you.

Was lekker koud!

Die plekkie is goed geleë voor jy Baviaanskloof aanpak. Die huisie was netjies en het alles in wat nodig is. Ons sou daai aand 'n kaggeltjie binne baie waardeer en geniet het, want dit was baie koud buite. Aangesien die son nie die dag geskyn het nie, was daar nie warm water nie, want die sonsverhittingstelsel kon dus nie werk nie, maar die silwerskoon ablusieblok was oop en tot ons beskikking om 'n heerlike warm stort te gaan neem.

Baie lekker gebly. Is spyt ek het nie 'n dag langer hier bespreek nie.

Al is die ablusiegeriewe nie aan die eenheid vas waar ek gebly het (Langhuis) nie, is dit sekerlik die netjiesste en skoonste wat ek in jare gebruik het. Jy is aangenaam verras om hierdie gehalte so ver weg van 'n stad af te vind. Daar is tot klein, skoon waslappies tot jou beskikking in die ablusieblok. Dit is ook tot beskikking vir die kampeerders. Ek het baie lekker in die kamer gebly. Die Langhuis se kamers deel 'n klein kombuisie met 'n gasstofie en mini-yskas. Daar is ook 'n swembad/dam waar afgekoel kan word. Is spyt ek het nie nog 'n aand hier bespreek nie. Maak seker jou motor het 'n volwaardige spaarwiel as jy dié grondpaaie wil ry. Dit kan jou bande beskadig.

Very nice stay. Regret I didn't book here a day longer.

Even though the ablution facilities are not attached to the unit where I stayed (Langhuis), they are certainly the neatest and cleanest I have used in years. You are pleasantly surprised to find this quality so far away from a city. There are up to small, clean washcloths at your disposal in the ablution block. It is also available to the campers. I had a very nice stay in the room. The Langhuis' rooms share a small kitchen with a gas stove and mini fridge. There is also a pool/pond where you can cool off. Regret not booking another night here. Make sure your car has a full spare tire if you want to drive these dirt roads. This can damage your tires.

Op 'n permanente road trip vir afgelope vier jaar, min sulke rustige skoon netjiese plaasatmosfeer plekkies teëgekom.

My gevoel is dat hierdie baie goedkoop verblyf met baie duur liefde besit en bestuur word - vriendelike diens, skoon kamers en ablusies, groot verskeidenheid opsies om van te kies, kampering, net slaapkamer met deel badkamer en kombuis, cottages en een groot ou plaashuis. Puik.

Gasvryheid is noemenswaardig en waarde vir geld.

Verblyf was netjies, personeel baie vriendelik. Die enigste probleem veral in wintermaande waar dit baie koud is werk die sonpanele en gas geysers nie so effektief. Wat meebring dat daar nie genoegsame warm water is en die badkamer is ver vanaf die slaapvertrekke. Nie ideaal in wintermaande.

Accommodation was neat and the staff were very friendly. The only issue was freezing winter's evenings when the solar panels and gas geysers weren't very effective. Not enough hot water and the bathroom is far from the bedrooms. Not ideal in winter.

Dit was 'n asemrowende verblyf.

Ek wil net dankie sê vir Vaalwater vir die fantastiese aand wat ons oorgeslaap het. Die kamers was baie netjies en ons het snoesig en warm geslaap. Daar was lekker warm water die volgende oggend gewees.

Heerlike kaggelvuur gemaak en gebraai binne in huisie.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang en die huisie was skoon en netjies. Dit was vir ons 'n heerlike karoo ervaring!

Die stilte en rustigheid is kos vir die siel.

Vir reisigers wat hou van stilte en die ruwe natuur is hierdie beslis die plek om te besoek. Geriewe is skoon en alles wat mens nodig het is daar. Binne-braaiplek is wonderlik in die winter.

For travelers who like silence and the rugged nature, this is definitely the place to visit. Facilities are clean and everything one needs is there. Indoor barbecue is great in winter.

Skoon, gemaklik en bekostigbaar.

Skoon, netjies, gemaklik en bekostigbare selfsorgverblyf, geskik vir 'n 1 nag oorslaap of as 'n 2 dag basis waarvan die omgewing te verken kan word. Wynglase sou baie welkom gewees het.

Lekker gebly.

Die geriewe was netjies en skoon. Miskien sal 'n paar ekstra bome die kampplek net verbeter. Baie gerieflik geleë, kan Baviaanskloof rustig die volgende dag deur toer.

Nice stay.

The facilities were neat and clean. Maybe a few extra trees would just improve the campsite. Very conveniently located, Baviaanskloof can be easily toured the next day.

Naby Baviaans, uitstekende verblyf.

Ons was 6 wat op pad na die Baviaanskloof was, het in 'n drieslaapkamerhuis (ons het die aand 'n probleem met die warmwaterkraan by die bad gehad, het dit die volgende dag rapporteer, dus behoort dit nie weer te lol nie) en 2 rivierhuisies gebly. Alhoewel ons 'n bietjie vroeg was, was alles reg vir ons, alles was skoon en netjies. Is ook slegs enkele kilometers vanaf die Baviaans.

Close to Baboon, excellent accommodation.

There were 6 of us heading to the Baviaanskloof, staying in a three bedroom house (we had a problem with the hot water tap at the bath in the evening, reported it the next day so it shouldn't be a problem again) and 2 stayed in river houses. Although we were a bit early, everything was fine for us, everything was clean and tidy. Is also only a few kilometers from the Bavian.

Rustige wegbreek diep in die Karoo.

Baie netjiese basiese verblyf met alles wat jy nodig sal hê. Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en die hout is lekker goedkoop. Ons sal definitief weer soontoe gaan.

Baie lekker, maar onthou die warm goed.

Baie lekker, baie netjies, pad bietjie sleg vir 'n gewone voertuig en 'n entjie van 'n dorp af, maar die plek is baie baie lekker om by oor te bly!

Disappointed with bleak accommodation.

We booked for 4 people but the cottage was only equipped for 3. There was no form of heating and no hot water in the morning. There are no cooking facilities, only a microwave. We froze! We asked for 3 bags of wood at R10 each but the manager brought 2 and never gave us back our change for a R50 note! So when a knife and a glass broke we did not leave money - the glass was cracked anyway. Not worth R800!
