Rustig, alles wat ons nodig het, vriendelik, gasvry, asemrowende uitsig.

Gasvrye, behulpsame mense wat uit hulle pad gegaan het om ons welkom te laat voel. Ons het baie lekker gebly en sal vir seker weer gaan. Daar is alles en nog meer vir 'n rustige wegbreek vir enige ouderdom.

Kos vir die siel!

Die ligging van die lodge en kamers is perfek geleë langs die rivier waar die water oor die klippe druis. Bedrywige natuurlewe, ons het o.a. reiers, kolganse, otters en 'n koedoe gewaar. Prentjiemooi sonsondergange terwyl jy braai op die beskutte dek. Enige fotograaf se droom!

Food for the soul!

The location of the lodge and rooms is perfectly located next to the river where the water rushes over the rocks. Lively wildlife, we have a.o. spotted herons, geese, otters and a kudu. Picture-perfect sunsets while barbecuing on the sheltered deck. Any photographer's dream!

Pragtige uitsig - rustig en gerieflik.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die huis het alles wat mens kan nodig hê. Uitsig vanaf die stoep is pragtig. Jopie en sy ma en pa is so vriendelik en behulpsaam. Niks is vir hulle moeite nie. Dit was verskriklik koud, maar daar was voorsiening gemaak, lekker baie ekstra komberse, die lugverkoeling het 100% gewerk, en het die huis lekker snoesig warm gehou. Dit was rêrig 'n baie lekker naweek daar en ons sal gerus weer soontoe gaan.

Beautiful view - peaceful and comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay. The house has everything one could need. View from the porch is beautiful. Jopie and his mother and father are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them. It was terribly cold, but provisions were made, lots of extra blankets, the air conditioning worked 100%, and kept the house cozy and warm. It was really a very nice weekend there and we will definitely go there again.

We had such a good stay at Waaihoek. It is an amazing place and I feel so refreshed after the weekend. The chalet was clean, very comfortable, and had the necessary cutlery and goods for a great self-catering experience. Thank you to Uncle Jopie and his wife for the great experience. Both of you were extremely kind and accommodating. God Bless!

Akkommodasie is alles wat ons verwag het. Ongelooflike gasvryheid en diens.

Jopie het uit sy pad gegaan om ons te help om 'n band, wat ons op pad verloor het, te vervang. Hy het gereël om 'n band van Kimberley af vir my te kry en by my kom aflaai.

Pragtige, netjiese plek met 'n beautiful rivier-uitkyk! Jopie was vriendelik en alles was perfek met die inboek.

Die plek het 'n pragtige uitkyk op die rivier en is baie goed uitgelê met alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n awesome naweek weg. Baie gemaklik, skoon, netjies en privaat. Lekker braaiboma, gasbraai en glas balkon met awesome uitsig oor rivier. Ons sal vir seker volgende keer langer wil gaan!

Unwinding on a 3 day breakaway from city life.

Timeless beauty in a relaxing setting on the banks of the Vaal. In our search for tranquillity from the hustle and bustle, Waaihoek Game Farm was a stupendous surprise gem hidden in rural Northern Cape. The view of the river an surrounding nature was indescribable. Our accommodations in the 2 bedroom cabin were more than we expected and catered for all our needs. From our first encounter with the owner (friendly Oom Jopie) on our arrival all through our stay, to when we departed in a thunderstorm, his son went the extra mile and loaded our vehicle onto a trailer to prevent us getting stuck on the trail out. We express our sincere gratitude to Waaihoek owners and staff. We will certainly return for another visit.

Rustig en ontspanne.

Ons het heerlik saam met ons kinders oor Kersfees hier gekuier. Die huisvesting is toegerus met alles wat mens nodig het, maar dit sal nogal help as alles net in werkende toestand is. Die lodge is met 2 lugversorgers toegerus, waarvan net een werk. In die geweldige hitte wat ons beleef het, kon die een lugversorger net eenvoudig nie die mas opkom om die lodge te verkoel nie. Muurproppe in die kamers het ook nie oral gewerk nie. Die area is egter baie mooi, die mense aangenaam en ons het ons verblyf baie geniet.

Calm and relaxed.

We had a great time here with our children over Christmas. The accommodation is equipped with everything one needs, but it would help quite a bit if everything was in working order. The lodge is equipped with 2 air conditioners, of which only one works. In the intense heat we experienced, the one air conditioner simply could not get up the mast to cool the lodge. Wall plugs in the rooms didn't work everywhere either. However, the area is very beautiful, the people are pleasant and we really enjoyed our stay.

Was huis weg van die huis met alles en nog meer om verblyf gerieflik te maak.

Wonderlike omgewing, puik diens en die gasheer en gasvrou het ons baie tuis en gemaklik laat voel. Die verblyf was uiters aangenaam en skoon. Die omgewing was pragtig en rustig en ons het heerlik ontspan en sal beslis weer gaan maar die volgende keer vir langer tydperk. Die naweek was beslis te kort.

Ons beveel Waaihoek ten sterkste aan - ons het terwyl ons daar was, al die volgende bespreking gedoen.

Jopie en sy span is wenners en die wildsplaas en lodge is uit die boonste rakke. Ons reis geweldig baie en Waaihoek is definitief in 'n klas van sy eie. Dankie aan die Fouries, jul maak ons trots om Suid-Afrikaners te wees.
