Peaceful and lovely.

The cottage was well-equipped and had modern touches. Lots of love and care go into the maintenance of the place. We were very comfortable.

Sal beslis weer daar woon. Mooi uitsig en goed ingerigte chalet.

Baie lekker verblyf. Die volgende aspekte het aandag nodig: Twee matrasse moet vervang word. Daar is net eetgerei vir 7 persone, terwyl die chalet voorsiening maak vir 8 gaste. Die stort het meer hakkies nodig om klere / handdoeke op te hang. WiFi het nie gewerk nie.

Would definitely stay there again. Nice view and well furnished chalet.

Very nice stay. The following aspects need attention: Two mattresses need to be replaced. There is only cutlery for 7 people, while the chalet caters for 8 guests. The shower needs more hooks to hang clothes / towels. WiFi didn't work.

A true gem, postcard quality.

Valley Lakes is a wonderful stay, chalet comfortably accommodated our families with all we could ask for. Nestled near Underberg, plenty to see and do. Farouk assists with everything and seamlessly keeps your power on, he makes load shedding a pleasure. Overlooking a beautiful lake, hugged by rolling hills, you couldn't ask for more, an absolute gem.

Absolutely perfect!

The boys had a blast and I loved that they had the freedom to do what they wanted and safe so I could relax too. Comfortable beds, great fireplace and space to play family games at night. The smoors were an added treat to make us feel well looked after. We stayed at both the charming Pear Tree Cottage and lovely Valley Lakes - both Wisdom and Farouk were very friendly and attentive.

Mooi, stil, rustig.

Dit is 'n baie netjiese rustige plek met wonderlike uitsigte en lekker staproetes. Die huis was goed toegerus met als wat ons nodig gehad het, Farouk die opsigter het baie mooi na ons gekyk en seker gemaak als is reg. Die eerste plaashek is nie gemerk nie wat so bietjie misleidend kan wees.

Beautiful, quiet, peaceful.

It is a very neat and peaceful place with wonderful views and nice walking routes. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, Farouk the caretaker looked after us very carefully and made sure everything was OK. The first farm gate is not marked which can be a bit misleading.

Die werklike ervaring was nie soos wat ons op die webtuiste gesien het nie.

Eenheid nr. 3 is baie verwaarloos en die instandhouding het dringende aandag nodig. Ons sal Valley Lakes nie weer besoek nie. Farouk was wel baie behulpsaam.

The actual experience was not like what we saw on the website.

Unit no. 3 is very neglected and the maintenance needs urgent attention. We will not be visiting Valley Lakes again. Farouk was very helpful though.

Groen heuwels, grasvelde, veldblomme, koeie, kalfies, perde en vulletjies.

Ons blyplek was skoon en netjies. Daar was ten minste 6 blompotte met vars blomme. Die kragopwekker was aan tydens beurtkrag.

Green hills, grassy fields, wildflowers, cows, calves, horses and foals.

Our accommodation was clean and neat. There were at least 6 vases with fresh flowers. The generator was on during loadshedding.

Heerlik, wens ons kon langer bly.

Die weer was lekker koud, maar die kaggelvuurtjie het ons warm gehou.

Beautiful in the mountains.

The Pear Cottage in the mountains, is beautiful and everything you need just to forget about the city life. The rooms was nicely decorated with white linen and comfortable. We made a fire in the fiereplace and burn up all the wood they supply, because it was rainy and cold. We relax and look over the mountains. The owners was very helpful with locating you to the place. Will definitely spend time again at Vally Lakes. Kind regards. Sonja.

Peaceful and tranquil getaway.

Very comfortable units, well appointed. Stunning views of the lake and mountains. My only recommendation is to put up a patio or some sort of shelter on the side of the unit that faces the lake as this can then be used to enjoy the outdoors if it rains which was the case for us.

Vriendelike ontvangs en diens, baie netjies en goed toegerus, wondermooie omgewing.

Ons het rus nodig gehad na 'n lang reis, en daarvoor was Valley Lakes perfek. Indien ons langer wou oorbly, sou daar dalk behoefte wees aan inligting oor bv. moontlike voetslaan-opsies.

Friendly reception and service, very neat and well equipped, wonderful surroundings.

We needed rest after a long trip, and Valley Lakes was perfect for that. If we wanted to stay longer, there might be a need for information about e.g. possible hiking options.

Fantasties.

Ons was aangenaam verras. Farouk het uit sy pad gegaan om ons van hulp te wees en aangebied nog voor mens kon dink aan iets! Ek sal enige tyd weer daar gaan kuier en beveel hul ten sterkste aan!

Het lekker gebly maar daar is 'n paar goed wat kort.

Ons het baie lekker gebly maar dit sal goed wees om gaste van die volgende in te lig: Daar is baie min toiletpapier gegee en dit is ver van enige winkels af. Daar word gesê daar sal nie ekstra toiletpapier gegee word nie. Daar word géén handdoeke verskaf nie so maak seker dat gaste dit weet. Daar was ook geen kommunikasie vanaf die eienaar nie, ek het vragies gevra oor hout en wat verskaf word en ek het geen antwoord terug gekry nie. Ek het ook laat weet hoe laat ons daar sal wees en het geen reaksie gekry nie. Dit sal ook goed wees om beter buiteligte te hê sodat mens kan braai.

Had a nice stay but there are a few things missing.

We had a great stay but it would be good to inform guests of the following: There is very little toilet paper provided and it is far from any shops. It is said that no extra toilet paper will be given. Towels are not provided so make sure guests know this. There was also no communication from the owner, I asked questions about wood and what is provided and I got no answer back. I also let them know what time we would be there and got no response. It would also be good to have better outside lights so that one can barbecue.

Tyd te kort om enige negatiewe te sê, maar kon beter ontvangs gewees het.

Die algemene voorkoms was goed, kamers netjies. Beligting in kamers baie swak. Beligting in sitkamer het nie gewerk nie (lampie op tafel). Geen handdoeke verskaf, net vloer handdoeke gewees. Ontvangs kan meer info verskaf aangaande wat benodig word. Anders was die tydtjie aangenaam.

Not enough time to complain, but reception could've been better.

The overall impression was good, rooms were neat, lighting was terrible though. Lighting in living area didn't work (lamp on table). No towels were provided. Reception can provide more info regarding necessities. Besides that, it was pleasant.

Het verblyf baie geniet. Sal enige tyd weer teruggaan.

Die diens was puik gewees. Was baie goed ontvang en kothuis was baie netjies te alle tye en het alles gehad om die verblyf lekker te maak. Farouk was baie behulpsaam en het ons op die hande gevra. Sal regtig volgende jaar weer teruggaan.

Baie aangenaam, skoon, netjies en voledig toegerus.

Die kothuise is pragtig geleë langs die dam en skep 'n rustige atmosfeer. Die omringende natuur is werklik pragtig. Vir hengelaars is hierdie plek seker 'n paradys.

Rus en vrede.

Valley Lakes is 'n heerlike toevlugsoord vir die stedeling wat soek na rus en vrede. Goed toegerus en pragtige ligging by dam en Farouk se goeie diens was die kersie op die koek.
