Heerlike stilte en natuur saam ons kinders.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreekplek met die mooiste paaie om wild te besigtig. Ons was aangenaam verras met die pragtige park en natuurskoon.

Pragtig.

Vyver's Rus was 'n heerlike wegbreek. Die feit dat dit op 'n wildsplaas geleë is, was 'n aangename verrassing, en ons het lekker wild gekyk op ons fietse en op die bakkie. Ons het wel die skokdrade rondom die huisie afgesit, want dit veroorsaak dat die krane en water in die huis jou skok, wat onaangenaam is.

Beautiful.

Vyver's Rus was a lovely break. The fact that it is located on a game farm was a pleasant surprise, and we enjoyed watching wildlife on our bikes and in the van. We did put down the shock wires around the house because it causes the taps and water in the house to shock you, which is unpleasant.

Asemrowend mooi, baie gerieflik en wonderlike diens!

Dit was asemrowend lekker. (Ons sal graag net asb voorstellings maak as volg): 1. Ons het geen warm water gehad nie. 2. Geen gas vir ketel. (My man moes die gas omkoppel en op 'n ander gasbottel plaas), maar tenspyte het ons seker net 'n volle 5 minute warm water gehad. Alles, behalwe bogenoemde, was werklik baie lekker gewees .

Breathtakingly beautiful, very comfortable and great service!

It was breathtakingly delicious. (We would like to make representations as follows please): 1. We had no hot water. 2. No gas for boiler. (My husband had to rewire the gas and put it on another gas bottle), but even so, we probably only had a full 5 minutes of hot water. Everything, except the above, had really been very nice.

Hi daar, Natanya. Ons is baie jammer dat julle die ongerief moes deurgaan. Ongelukkig werk die warm water en stoof saam op 'n gasbottel. En is dit baie moeilik om te bepaal wanneer gas opraak. Ons toets gewoonlik die water voordat gaste inkom, net om self seker te maak.
Weereens baie jammer vir die ongerief.

Peaceful.

We loved our stay at Die Veldhuis and especially the fact that we could walk in the nature reserve. However, the trail map provided is poor (no scale, no indication of topography) and as a result, we got lost and ended up doing an approximately 15 km hike instead of approximately 5-6 km. Luckily, we are fit and could do it. The map could be improved by the simple expedient of adding a scale and some distances on the main sections, and there could be more signs at key trail intersections. We saw a good number of bird species as well as giraffe, impala, zebra, bontebok while walking. It snowed while we were there, and so the large fireplace and unlimited supply of vine wood kept us nice and warm!

Saligheid vir die siel.

Salige verblyf - niks soos 'n sonopkoms by 'n watergat wat jy vanaf jou bed kan sien nie (al het ons geen diere by die watergat gesien nie; daar was wel baie voëllewe). Baie lekker rondgery om wild te kyk en het gestap ook; ons peuter was mal oor fietsie ry op die grondpad. Neem in ag: • Trappe na die solder is nie geskik vir (alle) peuters nie. Ons het 'n matras onder die trap gesit. Alles is een groot vertrek, so neem lig en klank in ag wanneer kinders en volwassenes, eettafel, kombuis en banke alles in een vertrek is - dit het wel verbasend vir ons kinders gewerk deur sekere ligte af te skakel terwyl volwassenes nog kuier en hulle moet slaap. • Kliphuisie is baie koud, maar daar is meer as genoeg hout om die vuur te stook en dit lekker cosy te maak. • Dis 'n wildsplaas, dit is in die veld en die huis is van klip gemaak - verwag dalk 'n muis of so wat in die huis kuier. Ons het ons kos weggeborg en geen probleme gehad nie. (Dit lyk op foto's asof die mure van die huisies verskil - ons was in 'n kliphuisie met growwe klipmure wat meer gediertetjies kan huisves; daar was wel net een muisie wat agter die kombuistoonbank in die klipmuur gewoon het en toe ons geen kos op die toonbank gestoor het, het hy ons nooit gepla nie.)

Bliss for the soul.

Blissful stay - nothing like a sunrise at a water hole that you can see from your bed (although we didn't see any animals at the water hole; there was plenty of bird life though). Very nice drive around to see wildlife and walked too; our toddler loved riding his bike on the dirt road. Please note: • Stairs to the attic are not suitable for (all) toddlers. We put a mattress under the stairs. Everything is one big room, so consider light and sound when children and adults, dining table, kitchen and sofas are all in one room - it did work surprisingly for our children by turning off certain lights while adults are still visiting and they have to sleep. • Kliphuisie is very cold, but there is more than enough wood to stoke the fire and make it cozy. • It's a game farm, it's in the field and the house is made of stone - maybe expect a mouse or something hanging out in the house. We bailed our food away and had no problems. (It looks in photos as if the walls of the houses are different - we were in a stone house with rough stone walls that can house more small animals; there was only one mouse that lived behind the kitchen counter in the stone wall and when we didn't put any food on the counter, he never bothered us.)

Tranquility personified.

We were very pleasantly surprised to find that this was actually a reserve. We did not realise that we would be viewing wildlife directly from our beautiful cottage. The setting was private, unspoilt and tranquil. very beautiful indeed. It was great to switch off from electronics for our stay (although wifi is being installed soon, we hear).

A pleasant surprise!

Wonderful surprise to come across this amazing place. However, it was extremely hot and there is no fan inside. Also there is only a double bed downstairs and we are used to a queen size so hubby slept upstairs and nearly cooked. The fridge worked well but racks are broken inside the fridge and freezer compartment, def needs looking at! A few tweaks and this place will be worth the R1000 per night!

I only have good things to say about the accommodation and service. Great value for money and with such a lot to offer. Vyver's Rus game farm amazed me being an outdoor enthusiast and loving rugged terrain and scenic drives. It had it all. If you have come across this gem and are thinking of going, do so! It will impress you. We had all the seasons piled into our 3 day/3 night visit but wouldn't change it for anything. We will be returning and are looking forward to it.

Die ligging, stilte en uitsig is iets besonders. Die wildkyk-ervaring 'n absolute bonus.

Ons was tuis in die eerste kliphuis. Sy houtwerk buite op die dek kort bietjie aandag, maar die uitsig is pragtig. Die yskas se gas was ook op met ons aankoms - nadat ons die bottel vervang het was alles in orde.

We were at home in the first stone house. His woodwork outside on the deck needs some attention, but the view is beautiful. The fridge was also out of gas when we arrived - after we replaced the bottle everything was fine.

Totale vrede en saligheid...

Die plaas is groot met oorgenoeg paaie en plekke vir stap, fietsry of wildyk. Die kliphuis is goed ingerig met alles wat mens nodig kan hê - van hout en drinkwater tot beskuit en koffie. Die feit dat daar geen elektrisiteit en selfoonsein is nie, is 'n bonus in hierdie tyd van tegno-oorlading.

Rustig en ontspannend.

Dit is regtig 'n stukkie hemel op aarde. Dis een van die mooiste kothuisies waarin ons nog kon oornag. Die uitsig oor die dam, veral met die maan wat in die water gereflekteer was, is asemrowend. Ons was baie gelukkig om sneeu op die Towerkopberge te sien, en omdat dit saans koud was, het die kaggelvuur binne baie daartoe bygedra om die atmosfeer snoesig en gesellig te maak. Baie dankie ook vir al die vuurmaakhout wat gratis aan ons verskaf was. Die stort is uniek - met 'n pragtige uitsig ingesluit. Ons het baie gestap, en was gelukkig om heelwat diere op die roetes te sien. Die hoogtepunt was om jouself minder as 200 meter van 'n kameelperd te bevind. Die rustigheid van hierdie dier wat jou so vanuit die hoogte bekyk, was aansteeklik. Dit is oomblikke soos hierdie wat jou die grootheid van die skepping laat besef en waardeer.

Peaceful and relaxing.

It really is a piece of heaven on earth. It's one of the most beautiful cottages we've ever stayed in. The view over the pond, especially with the moon reflected in the water, is breathtaking. We were very lucky to see snow on the Towerkop Mountains, and as it was cold at night, the log fire inside did a lot to make the atmosphere cozy and cosy. Many thanks also for all the firewood that was provided to us free of charge. The shower is unique - with a beautiful view included. We walked a lot, and were lucky to see a lot of animals on the trails. The highlight was finding yourself less than 200 meters from a giraffe. The calmness of this animal looking at you from above was contagious. It is moments like these that make you realize and appreciate the greatness of creation.

'n Onvergeetlike kuier. Die kliphuisie bied alles wat nodig is plus nog ekstra. Die groot kaggel/braai binne die huisie was heerlik veral met die sneeu op die berge. Daar is geen tekort aan hout nie en moet ook bysê, die beskuitblik was vol beskuit.

Baie mooi en rustig, maar nie bedoel vir meer as 'n gesin of paartjie in een huis nie.

Die huise is pragtig en kyk uit oor 'n dam waar die wild kom water drink. Dit skep 'n ervaring van die natuur wat werklik uniek is! Alhoewel die huise sewe mense kan huisves volgens die aantal beddens, is almal egter effektief in een groot vertrek en die badkamer-geriewe is oop en word deur almal gebruik. In een huis is selfs die toilet oop en slegs agter 'n halwe muur! Daar is dus geen privaatheid nie! Sekerlik nie geskik vir 'n groep van gemengde geslag nie! Die argitek het bietjie swak beplan!

Translate to English.

Very nice and peaceful, but not intended for more than a family or couple in one house.

The houses are beautiful and overlook a pond where the wildlife comes to drink water. This creates an experience of nature that is truly unique! Although the houses can accommodate seven people according to the number of beds, all are effectively in one large room and the bathroom facilities are open and shared by all. In one house even the toilet is open and only behind half a wall! So there is no privacy! Definitely not suitable for a mixed gender group! The architect planned a bit poorly!

Ons bly graag in die pragtige kliphuise.

Ons was al 'n paar keer op Vyver's Rus en elke keer wil ons net al ons vriende daarheen stuur. Ons kon lekker op die dek sit en die wild geniet. Die akkommodasie is altyd skoon en netjies en met als toegerus. Ons sal verseker weer gaan!

We have been to Vyver's Rus a few times and every time we just want to send all our friends there. We could sit on the deck and enjoy the wildlife. The accommodation is always clean and tidy and equipped with everything. We will definitely go again!

Vyver's rus sien ons definitief weer!

Mooiste uitsig vanaf die dek. Die stort met 'n view was so mooi. Pragtige huisie, goed toegerus en alles wat mens nodig het om heerlik te ontspan! Die wildkyk was 'n hoogtepunt vir die manne en die warm bad in die buitelug was ons vrouens se hoogtepunt! Ons gaan definitief weer daar kuier!

Dit was lekkerder as om die Lotto te wen!

Ons het die aangenaamste ontvangs gehad - en al wat ek verder kan sê is dat ons glad nie die volgende oggend wou vertrek nie. Ons het so in 'n salige, hemelse rus ingestap en ek het my glasvensterstort verskriklik geniet, met die voëltjies wat kort-kort kom kyk het wat aangaan. Sien julle sommer spoedig weer en baie dankie!

We had the most pleasant welcome - and all I can say is that we didn't want to leave the next morning at all. We walked into a blissful, heavenly rest and I enjoyed my glass window shower immensely, with the birds that came every now and then to see what was going on. See you again soon and thank you very much!

Ongelooflik!

Dit is onbeskryflik mooi stil, rustig. Jy kan ure net buite sit en die natuur bewonder. Ons het 'n ent gaan stap en so baie wild gesien en dit was so fantasties om so een met die natuur te voel. Ons was in die kliphuis. Dit was baie skoon en netjies met als wat jy nodig het daarin. Saans as die son sak en jy steek die lampe op en sit en bewonder al die miljoene sterre dan voel dit of jy al jou worries iewers gelos het. Vir die natuurmens wat soek na rus en stilte is die beslis 'n besoek werd. Ons gaan beslis weer. Baie dankie Monique vir al jou gasvryheid en dankie dat jul die plek met ons stadsjapies deel.

It is indescribably beautiful, quiet, peaceful. You can just sit outside and admire nature for hours. We went for a walk and saw so much wildlife and it was so fantastic to feel so one with nature. We were in the stone house. It was very clean and tidy with everything you need in it. In the evening when the sun goes down and you light the lamps and sit and admire all the millions of stars then it feels like you have left all your worries somewhere. For nature lovers looking for peace and quiet, it is definitely worth a visit. We will definitely go again. Thank you very much Monique for all your hospitality and thank you for sharing the place with us city lads.

Ons verkies minimalistiese verblyf, tog baie gemaklik.

Rustige akkommodasie, die dam was byna leeg maar dit verander nie die atmosfeer. Reuse kaggel het tot laatnag gebrand, wat beter vir die siel. Olielampies was nostalgies aan ons kinderjare. Vriendelike, behulpsame ontvangs. Geen sein vir selfoon, beteken jy skakel regtig af. Ons het heerlik gestap, selfs kopgeklim waar ons wel sein gehad het. Hierdie was 'n groot verrassing en beslis op ons weer-besoek-lys. Met die diere en spekboomveld en pragtige uitsigte op die berge voel jy so na aan die natuur.

We prefer minimalist accommodation, yet very comfortable.

Quiet accommodation, the pond was almost empty but that doesn't change the atmosphere. Huge fireplace burned late into the night, what better for the soul. Oil lamps were nostalgic to our childhood. Friendly, helpful reception. No signal for cell phone means you really switch off. We had a great walk, even climbed uphill where we did have signal. This was a great surprise and definitely on our revisit list. With the animals and bacon tree field and beautiful views of the mountains you feel so close to nature.

Rus en vrede in oormaat.

Vyfer's Rus is 'n plek waar jy weer tot verhaal kan kom. Alles wat jy nodig mag kry is daar. Hout in oorvloed (jy gaan vir 'n jaar kan braai en kaggel maak) maar as jy nie van wingerdhout hou nie, neem jou eie. Die ligging is ideaal en die feit dat daar nie selsein is nie, het bygedra tot ons rus. Die huisie waarin ons was is oopplan en daar is nie gordyne voor die vensters. In die aand kon jy in jou bed lê en na die sterre kyk en in die oggend word jy wakker met diere wat voor die huisie wei en water drink. Op die oomblik is die dam baie leeg, maar wanneer dit vol is, moet dit 'n belewenis wees. Die gesing van die voëls het my opgeval en daar is tot 'n verkyker en voëlboek tot gaste se beskikking. Gaste moet die volgende ingedagte hou: die badkamer is nie baie privaat nie, geen deure, so dink mooi as jy met vriende gaan deel. Die yskassie is 'n kampyskas wat op sonkrag loop. Dus moet jy goed beplan, want die plek is beperk. Vir ons was dit meer as voldoende. Die potte, panne en breekware is van hoogstaande gehalte. Die glase breek maar en ons het paar glase bygekoop aangeien daar slegs vyf glase was. As jy baie ernstig is oor die tipe glas waaruit jy drink, bring maar saam. Volgens my proe sjampanje uit 'n whiskey-glas nie 100% soos ek daarvan hou nie, maar dis 'n klein negatief. Ladismith het alles wat jy mag nodig hê, indien jy iets vergeet het. Die Spar op die dorp het letterlik alles. Hierdie is 'n plek waar jy letterlik vir dae op die dek kan sit en die natuur beleef. Op die oggend van ons vertrek is ons aandag vasgevang deur twee bakleiende bobbejaantroppe. Ons het skoon vergeet om te pak! Moet nie te veel dinge beplan as jy op Vyfer's Rus wil bly nie. Jy sal heeldag op die dek wil sit en wanneer daar water is, sal die Jacuzzi op die dek jou nog minder wil laat rondry. Christel en Johan is wonderlike gashere en hulle is altyd beskikbaar. Hier het ons waarlik gerus!

Rest and peace in abundance.

Vyfer's Rus is a place where you can recover. Everything you might need is there. Wood in abundance (you'll be able to barbecue and make a fireplace for a year) but if you don't like vine wood, take your own. The location is ideal and the fact that there is no cell signal added to our rest. The house we were in is open plan and there are no curtains in front of the windows. In the evening you could lie in your bed and look at the stars and in the morning you wake up to animals grazing and drinking water in front of the house. At the moment the pond is very empty, but when it is full it should be an experience. The singing of the birds caught my eye and there are binoculars and a bird book available to guests. Guests should keep the following in mind: the bathroom is not very private, no doors, so think carefully if you are going to share with friends. The bar fridge is a camping fridge that runs on solar power. So you have to plan well because the place is limited. For us it was more than enough. The pots, pans and crockery are of high quality. The glasses keep breaking and we bought a few more glasses as there were only five glasses. If you are very serious about the type of glass you drink from, bring your own. In my opinion, champagne from a whiskey glass doesn't taste 100% how I like it, but that's a small negative. Ladismith has everything you might need, if you've forgotten something. The Spar in town literally has everything. This is a place where you can literally sit on the deck for days and experience nature. On the morning of our departure, our attention was captured by two fighting baboon herds. We completely forgot to pack! Don't plan too many things if you want to stay on Vyfer's Rus. You will want to sit on the deck all day and when there is water, the Jacuzzi on the deck will make you want to drive around even less. Christel and Johan are wonderful hosts and they are always available. Here we truly rested!

Abosuluut lieflik en hoogs aan te bevele.

Ons was moeg met aankoms - oral stop en go's wat rytyd aansienlik verleng het. Toe ek op die dek gaan sit toe kan ek voel hoe ek begin ontspan. Die huisie is baie gerieflik en klipafwerking gee aan dit 'n knus atmosfeer. Ons het ook daarvan gehou dat als "off the grid" was. Die mooi omgewing, berge en veral Towerkop bly spesiaal. Dan was daar ook wild wat dwarsdeur die dag kom water drink het en ook die jakkalse wat so lekker praat in die aand. Die stilte sal my ook by bly. Sal definitief die plekkie aanbeveel vir 'n moeë stedeling.

Absolutely lovely and highly recommended.

We were tired when we arrived - stop and go's everywhere so travel time was considerably longer. When I finally hit the deck I just felt the relaxation washing over me. The little house is very comfortable and the rock finish provides a cozy atmosphere. We also loved the fact that it is off the grid. Stunning area, mountains, and Towerkop, especially. And game throughout the day, also jackal vocalising at night. I will always remember the quiet. Highly recommended to world weary city slickers.

Die mooiste mooi in die Karoo!

Wat ons op Vyver's Rus gekry het het ons stoutste verwagtinge oortref. Vyf kameelperde het met ons aankoms daar voor ons, in die pad, reusagtig en rustig geloop asof hulle ons verwelkom na hulle omgewing. Wat 'n ondervinding! Op die manier het ons naweek sommer goed begin. Die huisie was so netjies en skoon. Om van die stad af weg te breek na waar daar rustigheid, stilte, vars lug en die pragtigste natuurskoon heers, is onbeskryflik. Om diere te sien en oral in die veld te gaan stap is terapeuties. Die pragtige uitsig van die dek af oor die dam het sy eie bekoring. Ons was so spyt dat ons nie langer kon bly nie. Volgende keer gaan ons beslis langer kuier.

The most beautiful beauty in the Karoo!

What we found on Vyver's Rus exceeded our wildest expectations. On our arrival, five giraffes walked in front of us, in the road, gigantic and calm as if they were welcoming us to their environment. What an experience! In that way, our weekend started just fine. The house was so neat and clean. To break away from the city to where there is peace, quiet, fresh air and the most beautiful scenery is indescribable. Seeing animals and walking all over the field is therapeutic. The beautiful view from the deck over the dam has its own charm. We were so sorry we couldn't stay longer. Next time we will definitely visit longer.

Kon laataand buite sit en vir die wild kyk terwyl die vuurtjie brand, het een van die oggende op die plaas gaan rondry en was verras oor al die wild wat ons gesien het, dit was baie spesiaal.

The gray house we stayed in did not live up to expectations.

The double bed was very uncomfortable and the bedding is old. The toilet was not in good, working condition. It is not worth the R350 per person per night.

Vriendelike mense en baie mooi netjiese plekkie met asemrowende natuurskoon.

Ek het baie lekker gebly. Dit is prentjiemooi en dood rustig. Jy kan lekker wild kyk en in die aande by 'n lekker warm kaggeltjie sit en kuier. Netjies en baie skoon.

Friendly people and a very neat place with breathtaking scenery.

I really enjoyed the stay. It's picturesque and so peaceful. You can do some game watching and in the evening you can just relax by the fire. Neat and very clean.

Fantasties, sielskos, vernuwend, onbeskryflik!

Die plek is regtig vir iemand wat sy siel wil voed, soos iemand gesê het - dit is 'n kopskoonmaakplek. Hier is stilte die musiek in jou ore, behalwe vir die voëls en dobbertjies op die water is dit jy en die natuur. Jy word die oggend wakker en kyk oor die dam en berge in die verte, sit lekker op die dek en kyk oor die dam en vlaktes met 'n vuurtjie wat hier voor jou brand. Ons was gelukkig om die laaste aand 'n besoek by die dam te hê van 'n swartwildebees en takbok, en vroegoggend was hulle weer daar. Die natuurskoon en die omgewing is so mooi (Karoo op sy beste) berge, dale en valleie, en dan kan jy stap waar jy wil of 'n wildrit neem. Man, die is 'n lekker plek (en vir die wat daarvan hou) lampe en kerse vir ligte, maar daar is darem 'n paar LED-liggies wat met sonkrag laai om te gebruik as jy wil (of regtig moet). Ons het dit baie geniet, dit was baie baie lekker. Ek en my vrou het dit altwee baie geniet, en dan is die uitsig vanaf die stort iets besonders, gaan en vind self uit. Ek sal dit aanbeveel vir enige mens wat net rus en vrede wil hê, iemand wat lief is vir die natuur. Baie goeie ontvangs en die eienaars is wonderlike mense. Hulle is baie gasvry. Baie dankie Johan en Christel!

Fantastic, soul food, innovative, indescribable!

The place is really for someone who wants to feed his soul, as someone said - it's a head clearing place. Here silence is the music in your ears, except for the birds and floats on the water it is you and nature. You wake up in the morning and look over the pond and mountains in the distance, sit comfortably on the deck and look over the pond and plains with a small fire burning here in front of you. We were lucky to have a visit at the pond on the last night from a black wildebeest and deer, and in the early morning they were there again. The scenery and the surroundings are so beautiful (Karoo at its best) mountains, valleys and valleys, and then you can walk where you want or take a game drive. Man, that's a nice place (and for those who like it) lamps and candles for lights, but at least there are some solar-charged LED lights to use if you want (or really have to). We really enjoyed it, it was very very nice. My wife and I both really enjoyed it, and then the view from the shower is something special, go and find out for yourself. I would recommend it to anyone who just wants peace and quiet, someone who loves nature. Very good reception and the owners are wonderful people. They are very hospitable. Many thanks Johan and Christel!

Beslis die moeite werd!

Die gasvrou het ons by die hek ingewag en saam met ons gery tot by ons blyplek. Ligging pragtig en stilte ongelooflik. Die tweeslaapkamerkothuis was baie netjies en skoon, die kamers was pragtig met heerlike beddegoed. Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik en het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel. Beslis waarde vir geld. Sal in die toekoms weer daar bly en dit beslis aanbeveel.

Definitely worth it!

The hostess met us at the gate and drove with us to our accommodation. Beautiful location and incredible silence. The two-bedroom cottage was very neat and clean, the rooms were beautiful with lovely bedding. The hostess is very friendly and went out of her way to make us feel at home. Definitely value for money. Will stay there again in the future and definitely recommend it.

Word sterk aanbeveel.

As jy verblyf op 'n wildsplaas verlang, is die plek perfek en lekker stil in die natuur. Die muskiete kan pla.

'n Wegbreek van die alledaagse gejaag.

'n Kliphuisie in die natuur was net wat ons nodig gehad het. Dit was net twee dae se verblyf en dit voel soos 'n week se rus! Wat 'n aangename verassing was dit nie! Die uitsig oor die dam was asemrowend en jy voel of jy deel van die natuur is. Die huisie is so pragtig en net wat ons gesoek het, sonder elektrisiteit en televisie. Hier sit jy in die aande op die dek en vergaap jou aan die natuurlewe en die sonsondergang terwyl die vuurtjie brand en jy absoluut privaat en op jou eie is. Dit voel of jy jou eie wildkamp het en daar kan jy gaan stap na hartelus en die mooi plantegroei en wild besigtig. Christelle, julle het 'n wenresep hier en alhoewel ons net twee dae hier was, voel dit of ons 'n week gerus het! Ons sal julle definitief weer sien!

A break from the everyday hustle and bustle.

A stone house in nature was just what we needed. It was only a two day stay and it feels like a week's rest! What a pleasant cremation it was! The view over the dam was breathtaking and you feel like you are part of nature. The cottage is so beautiful and just what we were looking for, without electricity and television. Here you sit on the deck in the evenings and marvel at the wildlife and the sunset while the fire burns and you are absolutely private and on your own. It feels like you have your own wildlife camp and you can walk there to your heart's content and view the beautiful vegetation and wildlife. Christelle, you have a winning recipe here and even though we were only here for two days, it feels like we rested for a week! We will definitely see you again!

Skitterende wegbreek in die hart van die Klein Karoo.

Ons is twee volwassenes en 'n senior burger wat 2 aande hier gebly het. Ons het heerlik ontspan en voor die vuur gesels. Lieflike sonsondergange en die wild in die veld sorg vir 'n ontspanne atmosfeer.

Brilliant getaway in the heart of the Klein Karoo.

We are two adults and a senior citizen who stayed here for 2 nights. We had a wonderful time relaxing and chatting in front of the fire. Lovely sunsets and the wildlife in the field make for a relaxed atmosphere.

Asemrowend!

Vyver's Rus se kliphuis het my asem weggeslaan. Die rustigheid en kaggelvuur het die siel gevoed. Christel en haar gesin het ons so hartlik ontvang, ons het gevoel soos familie! Ons sal definitief weer daar gaan kuier.

Die Veldhuisie was gerieflik met 'n mooi uitsig.

Ons het een nag hier geslaap. Die Veldhuisie is mooi en gerieflik met 'n mooi uitsig oor die berge (maar volgende keer sal ons liewer by die dam wou bly).
