Tranquil Bushveld experience.
Clean and tidy. Piles of sicklebush were included in the price and lasted for days. Sheep and antelopes right near the front porch and birds came to visit on the porch. Henk made us feel right at home. The weather didn't cooperate, but it was still a nice leisurely visit and walk. The whole area has access control and we never felt unsafe. Will go there again.

Welcome escape to the Forest.
There is no Wifi, nor TVs or other screens to trap you in the house - what an incredibly welcome change from our daily rush. I was able to separate my thirteen-year-old typical teenager from chair and screen, and he enjoyed farm life so much that he didn't miss the 'games' at all. Remember your walking shoes and explore the farm to your heart's content, then wash off the heat in the sparkling pool. Wild and Boer goats will come to greet you, as well as some beautiful Ngunis. Furthermore, you will come across chickens, ducks, macaws and even cormorants. Let the children help take out eggs; I know my son enjoyed it more than I could have ever predicted! You're going to have to drive a little dirt road to get there, but it's absolutely worth it.

Not quite what I expected.
The pictures looked to me like a little house far away from everyone in the bush. However, the apartment is attached to the house in which people live. It was not what I expected. The photos of the view from the porch also do not show that the wire is so close (about 2m) to the porch. We were disappointed that we were not in the open away from everyone as we expected.

Voorbegin Bosveldverblyf 's response
Ons is jammer dat u teleurgesteld is, aangesien ons graag ons gaste gelukkig wil sien.
Ons is ook jammer dat u die volgende stukkie in ons beskrywing skynbaar nie raakgesien het nie: "Die ander losstaande eenheid, die Woonstel, is direk agter die hoofhuis geleë" en verder: "Belangstellendes wat na die foto's kyk moet asb seker maak dat dit pas by die kamers om verwarring te voorkom." Dit kon dalk verwarring voorkom het.
Die erf is net om die woonstel geskik te maak vir mense om troeteldiere saam te bring, maar verder is die hele plaas oop vir gaste om te beweeg. Inmiddels het ons die braaiplek teen die heining verskuif na die stoep, sodat selfs in die reën lekker gebraai kan word. Die stoep is geteël, word tans geverf, ons wag vir die reeds bestelde oprol seile waarmee nog verder skuiling teen wind en weer gebied kan word, en 'n deeglike sitkamerstel is bekom sodat die stoep meer van 'n opelug sitkamer gaan wees. Sodra alles voltooi is, sal ons foto's plaas, en ons vertrou om ons gaste se gerief daardeur te verbeter. U is welkom om na die verbeterings te kom kyk.

Dit was presies die wegbreek wat ons almal so nodig gehad. Weg van die stad se geraas en woelinge. Die bokkies is baie mak en daar is so baie voëls wat al te pragtig sing. Die regte plekkie om bietjie af te skakel.

It was exactly the break we all needed. Away from the city's noise and bustle. The goats are very tame and there are so many birds that sing all too beautifully. The right place to switch off a bit.
Everything we needed was there and more. Great mattresses and spacious bathroom. Even though there is no inside living area, the stoep was the perfect place to eat and hang out to watch all the farm animals. My teenage boys were able to ride bikes and we went for a little walk. An unforgettable family weekend. Will do it again when we get tired of city life.

Our children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. If you want to rest, we would recommend the place. We will definitely go there again.

Thanks to Henk and his family. Our getaway turned out a little differently than planned, conditions outside of us and Henk's control. We had to return the day before. Thank you very much to Henk for all his help and assistance during our visit - we will have to go back again to finish the business. Our accommodation was very nice and relaxing. It was great to be able to relax on the farm. It is so quiet and quiet and we have been safe and quiet at all times. Thank you again, we will visit you again.

Comfortably slept, had everything we needed, and had infinite fun with all the wildlife and farm animals we visited regularly.
Lovely stay. Henk welcomed us, explained all the rules, and "set us free" on his property. The nyalas, impala, sheep, pigs, and donkeys that can be seen everywhere are a pleasure. Fed the donkeys and pigs - and they run to come greet you when they see you. The accommodations were neat, comfortable and well-equipped. We could braai and wood was provided free of charge. We discovered the most delicious rusks at the coffee station - thank you for that. Even caught a few fish in the cement dam. We could go in and out as we pleased and returned late one night after a visit to our family some a while away without any access problems. Henk also explained that further improvements would be made so we would like to go back when it is better and we plan to do so.

Quiet and safe farm atmosphere just outside the village.
Children had a lot of fun with all the animals, feeding lambs, taking out eggs from chickens and feeding pigs. The unit is clean and has everything you need for self-catering. The chicken eggs you get in the morning with the complimentary wood make you feel at home. The Google maps GPS coordinates are wrong so please correct. sure before you drive so you don't get lost. Please get a sign at the first big gate on the dirt road so you know you're at the right place. Henk and his wife were very special. Thank you very much for an excellent weekend. Will definitely go back.

The farm atmosphere and forest environment is really quiet and one can relax and breathe here. My son really enjoyed the farm experience of feeding chickens, taking out eggs, and holding a lamb and couldn't wait to do the rounds every morning with Henk and Alda, the hosts. I would suggest that the bunk bed mattress be urgently replaced as it was very uncomfortable for adults.

Pre-start
Pre-start - A weekend that exactly describes the name! We spent time together like in the "old" days, before technology and the hustle and bustle of the world became the norm! Perfect place for small children, where they can enjoy the animals and the outdoors! If you are looking for a luxury resort, with a TV to keep your kids busy this is not the type of place for you, but if you are looking for a clean unit with a warm loving atmosphere and want to hear the sounds of the animals if you want to spend the evening by the bushveld fire with your loved ones, you can book now!

Die hoof foto op die blad is die chalet, dis waarom ons in die oorsig sê dat mense net moet seker maak dat die foto by die beskrywing pas. Die woonstel, wat uiteraard goedkoper is as die chalet, se beskrywing stel dat dit nie 'n self sorg eenheid is nie en dat daar geen kombuis is nie.
Ons is jammer dat daar dus 'n misverstand gekom het, maar julle was aangename gaste en kom kuier gerus weer, en neem die chalet. Ons sal jou 'n goeie afslag gee om op te maak.

Goeiedag Carlo,
Ons is jammer dat jy juis daar was toe 2 ton koolreste vir die varke afgelaai is. Die kool was eerder die reuk probleem as die varke, omdat hulle hoofsaaklik vry rondloop en gewoonlik nie ruik nie. Die vlieë is maar op enige plaas 'n pes maar ons probeer soveel moontlik beheer. Weereens jammer dat jy in die kool-reuk tyd daar was. Dit was vir ons ook 'n nie-herhalende les, maar as jy weer wil kom kuier, sal ons 'n flinke afslag vir jou inwerk in 'n poging om reg te maak!
