Welkome ontvlugting na die Bos.

Daar is geen Wifi nie, ook nie TVs of ander skerms om jou in die huis te verstrik nie - wat 'n ongelooflik welkome verandering van ons daaglikse gejaag. Ek kon my dertienjarige tipies-tiener skei van stoel en skerm, en hy het die plaaslewe só geniet dat hy die 'games' geensins gemis het nie. Onthou jou stapskoene en verken die plaas na hartelus, en gaan spoel daarna die hitte af in die sprankelende swembad. Wilds- en boerbokke gaan vir jou kom groet, asook 'n paar pragtige Ngunis. Verder sal jy hoenders, eende, makoue en selfs kurpers raakloop. Laat die kinders help eiers uithaal; ek weet my seun het dit meer geniet as wat ek ooit kon voorspel het! Jy gaan bietjie grondpad moet ry om daar te kom, maar dit is absoluut die moeite werd.

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.

Ons is goed ontvang, en het tuis gevoel met aankoms!

Baie lekker! Ons het wel net een nag oorgebly, maar ons het dadelik tuis gevoel en kon moeitevry met die eienaar kommunikeer. Rustige plaasatmosfeer. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir 'n lekker rustige wegbreek.

Rustige Bosveld ervaring.

Skoon en netjies. Hope sekelbos was ingesluit in prys en het dae lank gehou. Skape en wildsbokke sommer naby die voorstoep en voëls het tot op die stoep kom kuier. Henk het ons lekker tuis laat voel. Die weer het nie saamgespeel nie, maar nog steeds lekker rustig gekuier en gestap. Die hele area het toegangsbeheer en ons het nooit onveilig gevoel nie. Sal weer daar gaan draai.

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.

Nie helemaal wat ek verwag het nie.

Die foto's het vir my gelyk soos 'n huisie ver weg van almal in die bosveld. Die woonstel is egter vas aan die huis waarin mense bly. Dit was nie wat ek verwag het nie. Die foto's van die uitsig vanaf die stoepie wys ook nie dat die draad so naby (ongeveer 2m) die stoep is nie. Ons was teleurgestel dat ons nie in die oopte weg van almal was soos ons verwag het nie.

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.

Alies wat ons nodig gehad het was daar en nog meer. Heerlike matrasse en ruim badkamer. Al is daar geen binne leefarea nie, was die stoep die perfekte eet en kuierplek om al die plaasdiere dop te hou. My jeugseuns kon fietsry en ons het bietjie gaan stap. 'n Onvergeetlike gesinsnaweek. Sal dit weer doen as ons moeg word vir die lewe in die stad.

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.

Stil, rustig en lekker belewenis.

Was baie aangenaam, eienaars het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons en ons kinders tuis te laat voel. Hulle het ons kinders gevat om die hoenders en donkie te voer, eiers uit die hoender hok te gaan haal. Ons kinders het hulself gate uit geniet. As jy wil uitrus, sal ons die plek aanbeveel. Ons sal definitief weer soontoe gaan. Dankie oom en tannie vir die ongelooflike ervaring wat ons as gesin by julle gehad het.

The venue is exactly like the photo's on the website. Was welcomed by Henk and Alda and made to feel at home. The venue was clean and had all the basics that you needed. It was lovely to see the donkey come and say hello, late afternoon some buck passing the unit. In the evenings you only hear mother nature in all her glory.

Dankie aan Henk en familie. Ons wegbreek het bietjie anders uitgedraai as beplan, omstandighede buite ons en Henk se beheer. Ons moes dag vroeër terugkeer. Baie dankie aan Henk vir al sy hulp en bystand tydens ons besoek - ons sal weer moet teruggaan om ongedane sake af te handel. Ons verblyf was baie lekker en ontspannend. Dit was baie lekker om op die plaas te kon kuier en ontspan. Dit is so stil en rustig en ons het ten alle tye veilig en rustig gewees. Nogmaals baie dankie, ons sal julle weer besoek.

Gerieflike geslaap, alles gehad wat ons nodig het, en oneindig pret gehad met al die wild en plaasdiere wat ons gereeld besoek het.

Heerlik gekuier. Henk het ons hartlik ontvang, al die reëls verduidelik, en ons op sy grond "losgelaat". Die njalas, rooibokke, skape, varke, en donkies wat orals te sien is, is 'n plesier. Donkies en varke gevoer - en hulle hardloop om te kom groet wanneer hulle jou sien. Die woonplekke was netjies, gerieflik en goed toegerus. Ons kon heerlik braai en hout is gratis voorsien. Ons het die heerlikste beskuit ontdek by die koffiestasie - baie dankie daarvoor. Self 'n paar vissies gevang in die sementdam. Ons kon in- en uitgaan soos ons wou en het een aand laat teruggekeer na ons familie 'n ent weg besoek het sonder enige probleme met toegang. Henk het ook verduidelik dat daar nog verbeteringe aangebring sal word so ons sal graag wil teruggaan wanneer dit beter sal wees, en ons beplan om so te doen.

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.

Awesome relaxing place to be!

We really enjoyed our stay. What a peaceful and quite place to relax. The kids loved the farm animals, helped to feed them and collect eggs. The kids even caught and released fish in the farm dam. The complimentary farm eggs and rusks were absolutely delicious. We also relaxed and had a swim at the pool as the bushveld can get very warm. We booked the house and the flat the beds were comfortable. Please note the house and flat is +- 800 metres apart. We will definitely book again and will refer friends and family.

Baie mooi en skoon.

Pragtige, skoon plek. Fantasties en gasvry ontvang deur Henk en sy vrou. Baie skoon en netjies. Heerlike, tuisgebakte beskuit. So lekker onder die bome met ;n mengelmoes van plaasdiere en wild wat op die werf rondloop. Voorwaar 'n pragtige plek. Ons sal beslis terug wees. Baie, baie dankie.

Very nice and clean.

Beautiful, clean place. Fantastic and hospitable reception by Henk and his wife. Very clean and tidy. Delicious, home-baked rusks. So nice under the trees with a mix of farm animals and wildlife roaming the yard. Truly a beautiful place. We will definitely be back. Thank you very, very much.

Rustige en veilige plaasatmosfeer net buite die dorp.

Kinders het dit baie geniet met al die diere, lammetjies gevoed, eiers by hoenders uitgehaal en varke kos gegee. Die eenheid is skoon en het alles wat jy nodig moet hê vir self-catering. Die hoendereiers wat jy kry in die oggend met die komplimentêre hout laat jou tuis voel. Die Google maps GPS se koördinerings is verkeerd so maak asb. seker voordat dat jy ry sodat jy nie verdwaal nie. Kry asb. 'n teken by die eerste groot hek op die grondpad sodat jy weet jy is by die regte plek. Henk en sy vrou was baie spesiaal. Baie dankie vir 'n uitstekende naweek. Sal definitief terug gaan.

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.

What a great retreat from urban noises into another home away from home.

I had an awesome experience with my family, neat swimming pools and bedrooms, a walk in the bush seeing wild games, a friendly environment especially for family.

Rustig en kon asemhaal.

Die plaas-atmosfeer en bos-omgewing is regtig stil en mens kan hier ontspan en asemhaal. My seun het die plaas-ervaring van hoenders voer, eiers uithaal, en lammetjie vashou baie geniet en kon nie wag om elke oggend die rondtes te gaan doen saam met Henk en Alda, die gashere, nie. Ek wil wel voorstel dat die opslaanbed se matras dringend vervang word, want dit was baie ongemaklik vir volwassenes.

Calm and able to breathe.

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.

Goeie dag Ilze,

Ons het inmiddels die opslaanbank in die sitkamer met 'n nuwe, stewige dubbelbed vervang. Jammer vir die ongemak, maar dankie vir die terugvoer. Kontak ons gerus sodat ons 'n plan kan maak om te vergoed vir die ongemak wat jy gehad het.

Voorbegin.

Voorbegin - 'n Naweek wat presies die naam beskryf! Ons het tyd saam spandeer soos in die "ou" tyd, voor tegnologie en die wêreld se gejaag die norm geword het! Perfekte plek vir klein kinders, waar hulle die diere en die buitelug kan geniet! As jy 'n luukse oord soek, met 'n TV om jou kinders besig te hou is hierdie nie die tipe plek vir jou nie, maar as jy 'n skoon eenheid soek met 'n warm liefdevolle atmosfeer en na die diere se geluide wil hoor om die bosveldvuur deur die aand en tyd saam jou geliefdes wil spandeer, kan jy sommer nou bespreek!

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!

One of the reasons I booked at Voorbegin Bosveldverblyf was because of the reviews. I have to give this place five stars.

First timers here. Voorbegin Bosveldverblyf. We spent 2 nights at Voorbegin Bosveldverblyf. We were bowled over by Henk, the owner of the place. Friendly hospitality and charming personalities. I would highly recommend Voorbegin Bosveldverblyf as a great getaway for a nice weekend. Henk, thanks very much for a game drive with you an Mike. Your friends are also friendly.

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.

It was worth it.

It is ideal for leaving a busy life and just to go and rest, the owners hospitality is great, the place is in a secured area. They should provide a TV and place a visible board on the location because the place is in a secluded area, difficult to notice, especially at night.

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!

Baie veilig en gemoedsrus ervaar. Eienaars het my privaatheid respekteer wat baie vir my beteken het.

Ideaal vir 'n wegbreek om stilte van die natuur te ervaar en jou balans terug te kry. Ideaal vir wegbreek uit stad se lawaai en om heerlik agteroor te sit en natuurskoon te bewonder. Naby genoeg om meermale te besoek as jy rus vir jou siel soek.

Peace, quiet, still - What more are you looking for?

Thank you so much for the opportunity for staying there over the long weekend (22 - 25 September 2017) at Voorbegin Bosveldverblyf. We've loved and enjoyed it so much. Mr Henk and Mrs Alda van der Graaf are two lovely and friendly people They've allowed the children to interact with the sheep. The kids enjoyed it so much - as they could feed the little lamb and feed the pigs and baby pigs with some lettuce and cabbage leaves. Something that our kids in the city are not used to. Other than that the place is very neat and spacious, with everything that you need. Mr and Mrs Van der Graaf also spoiled us (all their guests) with very nice rusks. A definitely must try. Once again to Henk and Alda. Thank you so much for your Hospitality and Friendliness and for sharing your peaceful environment with us. We loved the Peace, stillness and quietness of the "Bosveld", just to switch of and re-charge a person's battery. Once again, we loved and enjoyed it so much. Be blessed!

Rustigheid, stylvol.

Die plek is bietjie ver uit die dorp maar as mens in die Kalahari en Namibië rondtoer, is aftsand 'n relatiewe begrip. Die pad word goed in stand gehou, die 2 persone eenheid is privaat en die plaasdiere se geluide stem jou verder rustig. Hulle beskuit is voortreflik. Bestuur is professioneel en vriendelik. Ek beveel die pek enige tyd aan.

Tranquility, stylish.

The place is a bit far from the town but if you tour in the Kalahari and Namibia, offsand is a relative term. The road is well maintained, the 2-person unit is private and the sounds of the farm animals keep you calm. Their rusks are excellent. Management is professional and friendly. I recommend the pitch anytime.
