Lovely, spacious and neat home to rest.
Our family stayed in the peaceful farmhouse, which was spacious, neat and clean. Emma kindly received us and is a very good host who went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. We will definitely use the accommodation again. Very nice old furniture that reminded us of our childhood. We will definitely recommend it to our friends and family.

Fiasco!
The Oom Hans cottage is itself not too bad and very rustic, but the toilet needs to be restored to a working condition. The access road at the gate is one large pool of mud where even the 4x4 that was sent to come help us get out, was struggling. We had two people of 80 years plus with us, one with a walking stick, who had to struggle through the mud and long grass to the cottage, and thick clay sticking to our shoes. Totally unacceptable!

Wat betref die modder en die lang gras wat die 80 plus jariges deur moes aansukkel: Ek is deur die gas telefonies gekontak oor die modder en 80 jariges nog voordat hulle by die kothuis uitgekom het en het onmiddelik aangebied dat almal eerder in Die Plaashuis wat baie luukser is en geen "lang gras" of modder het nie kan gaan bly (teen geen ekstra koste nie). Die bestuurder van die Lodge wat het dieselfde aanbod gemaak maar is verwittig dat hulle verkies om in die kothuis te bly. In die omstandighede vind ek die kritiek onvanpas.
Dankie vir die advies oor die toilet. Die gaste wat laas naweek daar gebly het, het geen beswaar/probleem gehad nie maar ek bly die komende naweek self daar en sal ondersoek instel.

Thank you for the kind words. The farm was bought by my great, great grandfather in 1886 and has been in the Kolbe family ever since. I have so far collected a lot of material but I am afraid putting it in a readable form will have to wait until my retirement in a few years.

Nice big, real "authentic" farmhouse.
Contact number given was not answered and messages were not returned until much later. Second geyser was not activated. We were 10 people, so definitely had to use second bathroom. Emma was very helpful and friendly.

It was a wonderful stay with amazing Emma who went out of her way to make things pleasant for us!
This farmhouse with its old-fashioned feel. It offers value for money. The rooms are very neat and Emma was a pleasant surprise. The environment is quiet and this silence is only interrupted by the wonderful birdsong! We came as a group to bird watch together and our expectations were exceeded! I recommend Wakkerstroom Farm Lodge with confidence! Thank you very much again!

It was very clean and tidy.
Although there is no power, there were lamps that worked and lovely hot water from the gas geyser. The books were an absolute bonus and I wish we could have stayed longer just so we could read more of the books! Can definitely recommend it!

Value for money.
We spent one night in the Oom Hans Cottage. The cottage was clean and although there is no electricity, everything worked well (gas geyser, fridge, stove). Decor is a bit old-fashioned but it adds to the old-fashioned farmhouse feel. Wonderful view from the veranda and definitely worth it for those who are not too worried about luxuries.

Rest and silence!
Uncle Hans' cottage is very basic without electricity. However, the solar lamps work great, the gas shower too and the bed is lovely. The cottage itself needs a little maintenance here and there, but for what you get it is truly value for money. Furthermore, the silence is audible and the view fantastic!
