Uitstekende verblyf opsie.

Die verblyf was pragtig! Ons het in Kloofhuis tuisgegaan en die kothuis is baie smaakvol toegerus. Ons het niks meer nodig gehad nie. Die tuisgebakte brood, plaasbotter, konfyt en melk was 'n bonus. Ben se kommunikasie was puik en niks is te veel moeite vir hom nie. Wens ons kon langer gebly het. Sal Zandrivier enige tyd aanbeveel!

Excellent accommodation option.

The stay was beautiful! We stayed in Kloofhuis and the cottage is very tastefully furnished. We didn't need anything more. The home-baked bread, farm butter, jam and milk were a bonus. Ben's communication was great and nothing is too much trouble for him. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would recommend Zandrivier anytime!

As jy natuur wil geniet en rus en vrede soek, is Zandrivier jou plek!

Kloofhuis is 'n pragtige plek! Alles wat jy kan nodig kry, is daar. En Sanna se vars, warm gebakte brood met botter en konfyt is 'to die for'. Heerlik! Die kaggel het al gebrand toe ons daar kom. Probleem met die geyser het vinnig kom uitsorteer en lekker gesels. Hy het die pragtigste klomp honde, hele 8! Daar is WiFi wat uitstekend werk. Geen TV, maar dit pla ons nie. Mooi natuur. Skape kampe het die mooiste lammertjies en mammas gehad. Hout word voorsien teen geen ekstra koste. So, kaggel en braai buite is geen probleem. Bring jou eet- en drinkgoed saam, want daar is nie winkels naby! Sal definitief teruggaan indien kans hom voordoen. Dankie!

Kloofhuis is a beautiful place! Everything you could possibly need is there. And Sanna's fresh, warm baked bread with butter and jam is 'to die for'. Delicious! The fireplace was already burning when we got there. Problem with the geyser quickly sorted out and had a nice chat. He has the most beautiful bunch of dogs, all 8! There is WiFi which works great. No TV, but we don't mind. Beautiful nature. Sheep camps had the most beautiful lambs and mothers. Wood is provided at no extra cost. So, fireplace and barbecue outside is no problem. Bring your food and drink, because there are no shops nearby! Will definitely go back if chance presents itself. Thank you!

Die heel beste en lekkerste verblyf in die Seweweekspoort.

Die verblyf was wonderlik! Ons was tuis in Kloofhuis en die kothuis is baie goed ingerig. Die kaggeltjie was reeds aan toe ons in renerige weer daar aankom en Ben het ons verras met 'n heerlike tuisgebakte broodjie van Sanna asook botter, konfyt en melk. Hy het ook nog ekstra hout gebring. Die stort is net die mooiste wat daar is met die venster wat uitkyk op die berg. Die erf is omhein wat gunstig was vir ons 2 honde en daar is baie natuurlike plantegroei. Ons sal beslis weer eendag daar oorbly en kan dit definitief aanbeveel!

The very best and nicest accommodation in the Seweweekspoort.

The stay was great! We were at home in Kloofhuis and the cottage is very well furnished. The fireplace was already on when we arrived in rainy weather and Ben surprised us with a delicious home-baked sandwich from Sanna as well as butter, jam and milk. He also brought some extra wood. The shower is just the most beautiful there is with the window looking out on the mountain. The yard is fenced which was favorable for our 2 dogs and there is a lot of natural vegetation. We will definitely stay there again one day and can definitely recommend it!

Wat 'n pragtige stukkie hemel! Die ligging is stunning! Die kamer baie mooi met 'n heerlike warm kaggel en die bad was heerlik luuks! Het regtig spyt gevoel ons kuier kon nie langer wees nie, was nie reg om te ry nie. Sanna se brood was erg lekker, baie dankie.

Peaceful, comfortable and food for the soul.

What an idyllic setting. We stayed in the Kloofhuis and it was food for the soul. When we arrived, the fireplace was already warming up the space, and a fresh bread with jam and butter was neatly wrapped up in the kitchen. The host came to greet us with furry friends in tow and made us feel so welcome. The views and serene landscapes provided a much-needed breather from city life, and the stars were pure magic. We wish we could have stayed longer, but will definitely be back!

Baie mooi selfsorgeenheid op plaas met mooi uitsig oor berge en die plaas.

Ons het 2 nagte in Kloofhuis gebly. Toe ons gearriveer het, het ons kaggel reeds gebrand, dis nou goeie diens in daai koue weer. Ons kon reg voor die eenheid parkeer wat die in- en uitpak baie gerieflik gemaak het. Die eenheid was pragtig met baie vensters en baie besonders, dit het 'n unieke uitsig uit elke vertrek gehad, of dit oor die berge was of oor die skape, of net oor die stoep. Dit was uniek. Jy het gevoel asof jy buite is die hele tyd. Daar was 'n groot stoep met 'n tafel en stoel waar jy kon ontspan en jou mooi uitsig kon bewonder. Daar was 'n braai-area op die gras, wat jy kon gebruik om jou vleisie te braai. Ons het ons eie braaihout voorsien. Die eenheid was regtig mooi, en die oopplan eenheid het bestaan uit 'n sit-, eet- en slaaparea. Die bed het 'n goeie kwaliteit matras gehad met wit linne en 'n lekker dik warm kombers. In die leefarea was 'n tafel met 2 stoele waar jy gemaklik by kon sit en eet. Daar was ook 2 gemakstoele voor die kaggel. Hier was dit die lekkerste. Die gasheer het vir ons 2 kratte kaggelhout voorsien. Die kaggel het die vertrek warm en snoesig gemaak. Die badkamer het 'n groot stort, wasbak en 'n toilet in die hoek gehad. Daar was handeseep by die wasbak en 2 groot witte badhanddoeke was voorsien. Dit sou lekker gewees het om 'n handhanddoek te kon hê by die wasbak. Die kombuis het 'n groot yskas, gasstoof en mikrogolfoond gehad, 'n verskeidenheid glase, ander breekware en eetgerei was voorsien. Daar was koffie, tee en suiker in die kombuis. By aankoms het 2 klein kindertjies vir ons 'n skinkbord met 'n vars warm broodjie gebring, vars melk (wat 'n blessing was, want ek het my melk die vorige dag by die gastehuis vergeet in Calitzdorp), lekker botter en vyekonfyt. Baie dankie, dit was 'n groot bederf. Daar was uitstekende WiFi die hele tyd en ons kon met gemak ons selfone gebruik. Die mooi tuin is goed onderhou met 'n lekker groot grasperk. Die hele area om die eenheid was omhein en dit was baie veilig vir jou troeteldiere, hulle kon met gemak en veiligheid rondhardloop. Daar was ook sekuriteitsligte reg rondom die eenheid wat aangegaan het met beweging. Dit was 'n gemoedsrus en ons het baie veilig gevoel. Ons het baie lekker gebly op die plaas en ons kan die akkommodasie aanbeveel as uitstekende verblyf. Ons het goeie kommunikasie gehad met die vriendelike gasheer asook aanwysings tot by die eenheid wat ons waardeer het. Ons sal vir seker weer van die verblyf gebruik maak. Dankie Zandrivier vir die onvergeetlike ondervinding op julle mooi plaas, dit was sielskos vir ons. Let wel daar is nie 'n TV met eksklusiewe DStv soos geadverteer word en by die beskrywing genoem word nie.

Very nice self-catering unit on a farm with a nice view of the mountains and the farm.

We stayed 2 nights in Kloofhuis. When we arrived, our fireplace was already burning, now that's good service in that cold weather. We were able to park right in front of the unit which made packing and unpacking very convenient. The unit was beautiful with lots of windows and very special, it had a unique view from every room, whether it was over the mountains or over the sheep, or just over the porch. It was unique. You felt like you were outside the whole time. There was a large veranda with a table and chair where you could relax and admire your beautiful view. There was a barbecue area on the grass, which you could use to barbecue your meat. We provided our own braai wood. The unit was really nice, and the open plan unit consisted of a sitting, dining and sleeping area. The bed had a good quality mattress with white linen and a nice thick warm blanket. In the living area was a table with 2 chairs where you could comfortably sit and eat. There were also 2 easy chairs in front of the fireplace. Here it was the most delicious. The host provided us with 2 crates of fire wood. The fireplace made the room warm and cozy. The bathroom had a large shower, sink and a toilet in the corner. There was hand soap at the sink and 2 large white bath towels were provided. It would have been nice to have a hand towel by the sink. The kitchen had a large fridge, gas stove and microwave oven, a variety of glasses, other crockery and cutlery were provided. There was coffee, tea and sugar in the kitchen. On arrival, 2 small children brought us a tray with a fresh warm bun, fresh milk (which was a blessing, because I forgot my milk the day before at the guest house in Calitzdorp), nice butter and fig jam. Thank you very much, it was a great treat. There was excellent WiFi the entire time and we were able to use our cell phones with ease. The beautiful garden is well maintained with a nice large lawn. The entire area around the unit was fenced and it was very safe for your pets, they could run around with ease and safety. There were also security lights all around the unit that went on with movement. It was a peace of mind and we felt very safe. We had a great time staying on the farm and we can recommend the accommodation as excellent accommodation. We had good communication with the friendly host as well as directions to the unit which we appreciated. We will definitely use the accommodation again. Thank you Zandrivier for the unforgettable experience on your beautiful farm, it was soul food for us. Note that there is not a TV with exclusive DStv as advertised and mentioned in the description.

Skilderagtige plaas verblyf naby Seweweekspoort.

Zandrivier Plaas is ‘n moet kom kuier! Ons was opgegradeer na die “Kloofhuis”. Dit is ‘n perfekte setting met 'n gesellige kaggel. Regtig goed toegeruste huisie met alles wat jy benodig. Die krat vuurmaakhout en die komplimentêre varsgebakte plaasbrood, botter en tuisgemaakte konfyt was die kersie op die koek. Dankie vir jul gasvryheid.

Zandrivier Farm is a must visit! We were upgraded to the "Kloofhuis". It is a perfect setting with a cozy fireplace. Really well equipped cottage with everything you need. The crate of firewood and the complimentary freshly baked farm bread, butter and homemade jam were the icing on the cake. Thank you for your hospitality.

Fabulous and reserved Karoo experience.

Fabulous! It was a real Karoo experience which we loved. The cottage is beautiful and has a great slow combustion fireplace which was well appreciated in the winter evening. There is nothing like a Karoo sunset which was amazing. The morning was great with the sound of farm life rising to the coming sunshine. The host was great and went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Beautiful. Bergzicht is an old farm cottage with a view of the fields and mountains. The fresh farm bread with butter, homemade jam, milk, and an ample supply of firewood made us feel very welcome. Ben was friendly and helpful. Both possible routes to the farm - either through the Seweweekspoort or the road from Laingsburg - offer spectacular scenery.

Ons het slegs een nag oorgeslaap, maar sal in die toekoms langer wil oorbly om meer van die omgewing te verken. Rustige plaasverblyf met vriendelike mense en heerlike warm brood en konfyt was 'n wenner, dankie! Alles was skoon en netjies. Ons kon gaan stap teen die berg op en fietsry in die pas.

Die kuier was onvergeetlik en ek sal enige tyd enige Zandrivier aanbeveel.

Die area is asemrowend mooi. Dit is baie veilig, mooi en stil. Die natuurskoon is werklik iets om te beleef. Die akkommodasie is regtig baie netjies en skoon met alles wat jy moontlik kan benodig. Dit was koud en reënerig met ons kuier. Ben het gesorg dat ons genoeg hout het vir die braaivleis en die kaggel. Ons het 'n varsgebakte brood met botter en konfyt gekry en selfs melk vir ons koffie. Die gasvryheid is onbeskryflik en opmerklik.

We got a freshly baked bread with butter and jam and even milk for our coffee. The hospitality is indescribable and remarkable.

Very nice stay! The view from Ben's Cottage is beautiful with the most enjoyable visit and barbecue area outside. The farm activities and animal sounds are fun to experience! Sanna's bread was excellent! and the delivery with butter, jam and milk! You don't get it anywhere else. Many, many thanks!

Egte Karoo ervaring met pragtige uitsig oor twee bergreekse.

Heerlike kaggel op 'n baie koue aand gehad wat reeds gebrand het toe ons arriveer. Ekstra hout is voorsien vir die koue. Broodjie was heerlik. Ekstra bonus was toe ons wakker word met sneeu op die swart berge.

Genuine Karoo experience with a beautiful view over two mountain ranges.

Had a lovely fireplace on a very cold evening which was already burning when we arrived. Extra wood was provided for the cold. Sandwich was delicious. Extra bonus was when we woke up to snow on the black mountains.

Worth a visit to this beautiful area and hosts Ben.

Warmly received with freshly baked bread, butter and jam waiting for our arrival. Peaceful working farm where animals just co-exist and humans can unwind. Great advice and information on the area and walks in the immediate vicinity. Cosy warm cottage. Beautiful stay.

Welcoming.

Convenient stop over from Cederberg, before travelling through beautiful Seweweeksport Pass. Good communication with Ben, and lovely homemade bread, butter & jam in our cottage for our arrival. We chose the wrong accommodation, as it was completely open plan with little curtaining, but that was our fault. We know for next time.

Heerlik rustig en verwelkom met heerlike warm vars plaasbrood!

Pragtige ligging! Heerlik gebly, net te kort! Die Breezicht eenheid is 2 dele wat verbind is met 'n buitestep. Kombuis en slaap in een en slaap- en badkamer in die ander deel. (Met die koue, nat weer wil mens egter nie die snoesige hitte voor die kaggel verruil vir die koue pad buite om na die badkamer/toilet nie.)

Wonderfully peaceful and welcomed with delicious warm fresh farm bread!

Beautiful location! Great stay, just too short! The Breezicht unit is 2 parts that are connected with an outer step. Kitchen and bedroom in one and bedroom and bathroom in the other part. (However, with the cold, wet weather, one does not want to trade the cozy heat in front of the fireplace for the cold road outside to the bathroom/toilet.)

Lekker gekuier en geslaap!

Ons tweede besoek, maar nie die laaste! Ons is gasvry ontvang met 'n heerlike vars gebakte brood. Die lekker vars geplukte kersies was die spreekwoordelike kersie op die koek. Baie dankie! Een stukkie advies: 'n Storthokkie sal dit gemakliker maak vir ouer gaste wat nie meer so maklik in en uit 'n bad kom nie.

Dit was 'n baie koue naweek. Benjamin het gesorg dat ons genoeg vuurmaakhout gehad het om die leefarea warm te maak vir die naweek. Saam met dit het Sanna 'n warmgebakte brood in die kombuis gelos. Ons het onmiddelik tuis gevoel.

We stayed in Ben's cottage and were warmly welcomed by Ben. It had everything we needed and the fireplace was most welcome as it was cold. The fresh bread baked on the Farm was a winner.

I am sorry that we could not stay longer as one day was definitely not enough to explore the farm and the area. The Seweweeks Pass was one of the highlights of our 5600 km road trip. The area is beautiful, peaceful and well worth a visit. We can highly recommend the Zandrivier Farm and will definitely be back at some stage to explore the area properly.

Heerlike kuier in die Karoonatuur.

Die ligging is baie goed en die plaas was maklik bereikbaar, glad nie moeilik om te kry nie. Dis net voor die Seweweekspoortpas vanaf Laingsburg se kant af. Die huisie, Ben's Cottage, is iets besonders, waarvan ons baie gehou het. Die uitsig vanaf die huisie oor die velde na die berge is iets spesiaals en asemrowend. Die huisie beskik oor alles wat jy nodig het. Die buitebraai werk goed. Genoeg droë hout was beskikbaar vir die buitebraai en die binnekaggel. Wat onderstreep moet word, is dat warm water onmiddellik beskikbaar is as jy die kraan oopdraai. Ons het die groot bad geniet, wat mens nie in die stad kan doen nie, weens die kostes van water, krag en waterskaarste. Sanna het vir ons warm, varsgebakte brood, botter, konfyt en melk gebring. Ons het al by baie gastehuise regoor die land gebly en hierdie is van die weinige plekke wat vir jou so bederf en dit is ekstra waarvoor jy niks hoef te betaal nie. Daarby nog gratis WiFi! Die gasvryheid moet spesiale vermelding kry. Mens voel sommer net ontspanne sodra jy aanland. 'n heerlike plaasgevoel met hoenders wat rondloop sonder dat hul pla. Die meubels is kwalitiet, die groot dubbelbed slaap lekker. Ons sal vir seker weer by Zandrivier gaan bly as ons in daardie rigting ry, en vir langer as een aand! Hierdie is 'n juweel.

A wonderful visit in the Karoonatuur.

The location is very good and the farm was easily accessible, not hard to find at all. It's just before the Sevenweekspoort pass from Laingsburg's side. The little house, Ben's Cottage, is something special, which we really liked. The view from the cottage over the fields to the mountains is something special and breathtaking. The cottage has everything you need. The outdoor grill works well. Sufficient dry wood was available for the outdoor barbecue and the indoor fireplace. What must be underlined is that hot water is immediately available when you turn on the tap. We enjoyed the big bath, which one cannot do in the city, due to the costs of water, power and water scarcity. Sanna brought us warm, freshly baked bread, butter, jam and milk. We have stayed at many guest houses around the country and this is one of the few places that spoils you like this and it's extra for which you don't have to pay anything. Plus free WiFi! The hospitality deserves a special mention. You just feel relaxed as soon as you land. a lovely farm feel with chickens running around without bothering them. The furniture is of high quality, the large double bed sleeps well. We will definitely stay at Zandrivier again if we drive in that direction, and for more than one night! This is a gem.

Dit is so mooi hoe hoër 'n mens in daai kloof op gaan. Die rotspoel was ons afkoelplek. Ek dink in die winter moet dit idillies wees. Dankie Zandrivier, die twee dae was vir ons goed.

Seweweekspoort is 'n skouspel van natuurtonele! Dit is jammer ons kuier was so kort, daar is die mooiste natuurtonele en die staproete wat Ben vir ons aanbeveel het was regtig merkwaardig.

Vir die koue het Marius vir ons genoeg hout verskaf vir die kaggel wat die huisie heerlik verwarm het. Die vriendelike dame het in die koue oorgestap en 'n heerlike vars brood gebring. Dit het vergoed vir die weer buite en dat ons nie kon braai soos ons beplan het nie. Die badwater is heerlik warm en genoeg.

Zandrivier Farm Self-catering Accommodation 's response

Dis regtig jammer oor jou gevoel oor Ben's Cottage op Zandrivier. Julle was ontvang deur Sanna. Tye toe ek by julle was het jy gaan fiets ry. Dit is duidelik gelys dat die kothuis net 'n bad het, en meeste gaste geniet die groot bad vir 2, die ander kothuise het storte of albei. Julle het een plaasbrood met aankoms gekry, gratis, julle het self vir Sanna R50 vir n 2de brood betaal. Met Stage 5/6 krag onderbreking is dit nogal erg om te knie en te bak. Dit kos ons baie meer as R50 'n brood.
Jammer dat jy so voel, toe ek met jou vrou gepraat het was sy baie gelukkig.
Ons werk vir goeie resensies, dit is jammer oor jou resensie.

Absolute sielsrus en beste wegbreek van die alledaagse gejaag!

Dankie vir die gasvryheid. Ons is hartlik en vriendelik verwelkom met Sanna se warm glimlag en varsgebakte brood. Die rustigheid en stilte op die plaas met sy pragtige uitsig op die berge en mooi natuurskoon is beslis die reis werd, veral as mens deur die Seweweekspoort ry. Ons was baie gelukkig om die rotstekeninge te gaan opsoek en te kry en sal definitief weer teruggaan vir nog meer.

Baie naby aan seweweekspoort en Gamkadam. Dit was hoekom ons in daardie omgewing oornag het.

Pragtige plaas, ontvangs was uitstekend. Lekker ingerig om te oornag, daar was selfs ekstra moeite gedoen vir lekker vars plaasbrood en plaasmelk.

Vars plaasbrood en melk, met 'n pragtige uitsig oor die berge en knus kaggel.

Die huisie is goed toegerus met luukse items gemeng met geliefde oudhede. Genoeg breekware en hout vir die kaggel, asook die bederf met vars produkte. Daar was voorsiening gemaak vir beurtkrag met kerse en lampies. Al is dit 'n werf propvol diere en is die hoofhuis langs die kothuis, het mens totale privaatheid, en pla die diere geensins nie. Hoe hulle die honde so eenkant hou, weet nugter! Dis bedagsaam teenoor mense wat dalk bang is.

Fresh farm bread and milk, with a beautiful view of the mountains and cozy fireplace.

The cottage is well equipped with luxury items mixed with beloved antiques. Enough crockery and wood for the fireplace, as well as the pampering with fresh produce. Provision was made for load shedding with candles and lamps. Even though it is a yard full of animals and the main house is next to the cottage, one has total privacy, and does not bother the animals in any way. Sober knows how they keep the dogs to one side! It's considerate of people who might be afraid.

Brilliant location - a farm stay at its best!

If you would like to explore the Seweweeks Poort Pass this is the ideal place to overnight and then travel the pass and surrounds the next day. Floris and Ben were very friendly and hospitable. Arrived to a freshly baked farm bread, butter and apricot jam. All that you need - indoor fireplace etc. Rustic but beautiful. Art work by Floris is also beautiful. Home away from home for us. Thank you guys - your staff also is friendly! The Wi-Fi was incredibly fast and reliable in such a remote are - needed to use it for some quick work.

Vir 'n natuurmens is Zandrivier die skatkis aan die einde van die reënboog.

Vandat ek en Mia, my woef, arriveer het was ons met omgee en gasvryheid ontvang. Die 10 hondekinders op die plaas laat jou onmiddellik voel jy's deel van 'n groot familie. Die omgewing/berge is so beautiful. Ek het ontelbare foto's geneem, was ook blessed om 'n breathtaking donderstorm te beleef. Mia het die plaasdam gelove, sy was in haar element. Die extra's soos die varsgebakte brood met botter en konfyt, asook die vars melk in die yskas was heartwarming, Floris se paintings wat vir jou kyk in Ben's Cottage, is masterfully geskep om jou op 'n reis te vat na 'n ver weg plek. Daar was baie hout en ek kon oggend, middag en aand vuurmaak. 'n Naweek is beslis te kort, kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie. Amper vergeet ek daai bad. Ek het die eerste oggend 03:30 in hom geklim. Die bad came in close 2nd as my hoogtepunt van die naweek!

For a nature person, Zandrivier is the treasure chest at the end of the rainbow.

From the moment Mia, my woof, and I arrived, we were received with care and hospitality. The 10 dog children on the farm make you immediately feel like you're part of a big family. The surroundings/mountains are so beautiful. I took countless photos, was also blessed to experience a breathtaking thunderstorm. Mia loved the farm dam, she was in her element. The extras such as the freshly baked bread with butter and jam, as well as the fresh milk in the fridge were heartwarming, Floris' paintings that look out for you in Ben's Cottage, were masterfully created to take you on a journey to a far away place. There was plenty of wood and I could make a fire morning, noon and night. A weekend is definitely too short, can't wait to go back. I almost forgot that bath. I got into him at 3:30 the first morning. The bath came in close 2nd as my highlight of the weekend!

Fresh farm bread on arrival. The happy sounds of chickens and geese. A breath of farm-fresh air.

We had entered for Seweweeks Poort MTB cycle and did not want to travel from George on the day of the cycle. As it is required by most guest houses, a minimum of two nights stay is required. We had previously stayed in Ladismith and two days was one day too many in this quaint little town. We decided that we would prefer two nights on a farm close to the start/finish. Bens cottage is a 30 plus km drive from the start on sand road, but it is worth the extra drive. The route takes you through the magnificent Seweweeks Poort and to the farm. How wonderful to arrive at this happy place and receive freshly-baked farm bread and be greeted by the chickens and geese. The view is beautiful. Communication between owner, staff and us was quick and our every need was taken care of. We will return for more peace and farm joy.

Lekker plaaskuier.

Behalwe vir 'n bakkie wat teen die spoed van lig by ons verbygejaag het en ons kar vol klippe gespat het, het ons nogal maklik by Ben's Cottage uitgekom en 'n hartlike welkom van Sanna en haar dogtertjie ontvang. Die manne het vir ons hout aangedra en selfs 'n ander braai (wat ons toe nie gebruik het nie). Later het Sanna vir ons 'n heerlike varsgebakte brood met botter en tuisgemaakte konfyt gebring - dit was hemels! Die hoenders, tarentale, ganse en vinke het ons vir ure lank vermaak en kos-tyd was iets om te beleef! Die plekkie is goed ingerig en ons het heerlik gekuier. Net een negatiewe punt is dat ek maar naderhand vir Ben gekontak het nadat ek teen die oggend van aankoms nog niks van hom gehoor het nie. Dit het egter nie inbreuk gemaak op 'n heerlike verblyf nie.

Nice farm visit.

Apart from a bakkie that sped past us at the speed of light and splashed our car full of stones, we got to Ben's Cottage quite easily and received a warm welcome from Sanna and her little girl. The men brought us wood and even another braai (which we didn't use at the time). Later, Sanna brought us a delicious freshly baked bread with butter and homemade jam - it was heavenly! The chickens, guinea fowls, geese and finches entertained us for hours and food time was something to experience! The place is well furnished and we had a great time. Only one negative point is that I only contacted Ben afterwards after I hadn't heard anything from him by the morning of arrival. However, this did not detract from a lovely stay.

Interesting farm.

We enjoyed our stay at Bergzicht with friends. It was great to be able to take our dogs along too. A few points of feedback: The house was great, bigger than in the pictures, but we really missed having curtains in the bedrooms! This would improve privacy and quality of sleep. A small point, but we did miss a teapot. A map of the farm and some pointers about where swimming spots are would have been useful for making the most of the time we had there. Note that the owners have 10 dogs so just bear this mind when visiting with your own dogs. Overall an interesting farm to explore.

Absolutely fantastic.

The peace and quiet of the cottage and farm seep into ones soul and waking up to the sounds of turkeys and chickens is a treat. Everything was amazing. Ben and Floris are great hosts. Bens Cottage is quaint and spotless with views of the farmlands and mountains that belong in a magazine. The bath is decadent, the original artwork fabulous, the wood-burning fire a cozy touch, the kingsized bed comfy as hell. Every aspect of the cottage is well thought out. The homemade bread, jam, butter and farm milk were all delicious. Such a piece of paradise. Thank you Ben and Floris for making our days on your farm so special.

Was heerlik om daar te bly. Die huisie is smaakvol en gemaklik. Great om hout te kry vir jou braai en bederf te word met 'n vars brood, eiers, botter en tuisgemaakte konfyt. Jul personeel was ook so oulik met ons seun wat die plaas baie geniet het.

Family time in nature.

Was lovely to stay there. The cottage is tasteful and comfortable. Great to get wood for your barbecue and be spoiled with fresh bread, eggs, butter and homemade jam. Your staff were also so nice to our son who really enjoyed the farm.

Die eienaar Ben en personeel veral Sannah het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak

Die ligging is ideaal on die omgewing te leer ken die uitsig op die Swart Berge is asemrowed. Was lekker om weer so verskeidenheid plaasdiere te sien en die vriendelike hondekinders!

The owner Ben and staff especially Sannah went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible

The location is ideal for getting to know the surroundings, the view of the Black Mountains is breathtaking. It was nice to see such a variety of farm animals again and the friendly dog children!

Heerlike plaasvakansie!

Die Bergzicht Cottage is baie nice gedecorate en toegerus. Ons het heerlik kaggel gemaak en daar was oorgenoeg hout. Die kinders het 'n absolute fees op die plaas gehad en selfs hulle eie stukkie grond bewerk, onkruide oorgeplant en mooi gemaak met optel goeters. Ben en sy span het ons lekker bederf met vars gebakte plaasbrood, botter en appelkoos jam! Gaan slaap gerus vir 'n nag of 2 op Zandrivier, op pad deur die Seweweekspoort na die Klein Karoo!

Lovely holiday on the farm.

The Bergzicht Cottage is nicely decorated and well-equipped. We made a nice fire and there was enough wood. The kids had a ball on the farm and even planted on their own piece of land and decorated it. Ben and his team spoiled us with freshly baked bread, butter and apricot jam! We would definitely recommend that you stay a night or 2 at Zandrivier on your way through Seweweekspoort en route to the Klein Karoo!

Definitely a must for any traveller coming through Seweweekspoort!

We enjoyed our stay at Zandrivier very much. Friendly staff, breathtaking view, quiet, and at the same time you feel part of the farm experience. We were sorry we hadn't booked another night.

Just what we like - rural and a little old fashioned.

We loved staying in the Ben's Cottage. Comfortable and everything we needed was there. Even a huge luxurious bath. Easy booking and easy to find. Thank you very much.

Stilte en baie veilig.

Waarde vir geld beslis en jou diens is baie goed, veral jou plaasbrood is uit die boeke. Ek beveel dit aan vir elk wat wil stilte geniet. Ek sal dit weer doen, die keer net langer.

Rustig en vriendelik.

Alles wat ons benodig het, was aangeskaf. Ons kon vrylik om die plaas stap, gewoonlik vergesel met een van die honde. Ons sal die akkommodasie met liefde aanbeveel, waar mens kan uitrus, maar die bergpasse naby is ook genotvol.

Calm and friendly.

Everything we needed was procured. We could walk freely around the farm, usually accompanied by one of the dogs. We would recommend the accommodation with love, where you can rest, but the mountain passes nearby are also enjoyable.

A beautiful setting but needing some maintenance.

Stone cottage is set in a beautiful setting with lovely views all around. The kloof lies just behind the house and walks / hikes are close-by. The owner excelled himself with his freshly baked and divine home made bread and jam. The indoor fireplace was warm and cosy and wood provided. Only one bath and toilet. We didn't realise that there wasn't a shower. The grass and braai area was great, but the house is a bit run down inside, especially parts of the kitchen and doors, floors, etc. The main bedroom now has a king size bed and there are single beds in the other two rooms. The linen and towels provided were great.

Pleasant farm stay.

We arrived after a lengthy off-road driving experience to be welcomed and shown the way to our cottage. The cottage really has everything a traveler would need, quaint but practical. Two big crates of firewood for the evening braai was very welcome. The view over the farm and mountains are really breathtaking. The evening became chilly and the little furnace inside was found to be in a state of disrepair. The oil heater was a welcome alternative.

Mooi ligging, afgesonder en ver van N1, nie 'n oornagstop nie. Ideaal vir natuurliefhebbers.

Die ligging is verkeerd op Google Earth. Dit lyk asof dit net buite Laingsburg is op die kaart, maar in werklikheid is dit baie ver uit die dorp, nader aan Ladysmith en ver van N1. Ideaal vir stappers en natuurliefhebbers.

Nice location, secluded and far from N1, not an overnight stop. Ideal for nature lovers.

The location is wrong on Google Earth. It looks like it's just outside Laingsburg on the map, but in reality it's very far out of town, closer to Ladysmith and far from N1. Ideal for hikers and nature lovers.

Mooi plaas met 'n fantastiese uitsig, ons het lekker in Bergzight huisie gebly!

Ons het net 1 aand oorgebly in die Bergzight cottage, en wens ons was langer daar. Dit is 'n tipese plaashuisie met alles wat jy nodig het. 'n Lekker groot kaggel aan die binnekant en braai buite. Ben die eienaar, het hout verskaf vir die aand wat ons baie waardeer het. DSTV en WiFi het gewerk. Lekker plaas vir kinders met al die plaasdiere in die omgewing en vriendelike honde en eienaar. Ons sal weer teruggaan, dankie Ben.

Beautiful farm with fantastic views, we really enjoyed staying in Bergzight house!

We spent only one night in the Bergzight cottage, and wish had stayed longer. It's a typical farmhouse with everything you need. A great big fireplace inside and a braai outside. The owner, Ben, provided firewood for the evening which we really appreciated. DStv and WiFi worked. Nice place for kids with all the farm animals roaming around and friendly dogs and a friendly owner. We will stay here again, thank you Ben.

Wonderfully peaceful and real farm atmosphere.

We had a great time and even had snow. Just a pity the electric blankets couldn't stick in, but there is more than enough warm bedding. Would also have appreciated it if the owners came to say hello.

Niks om oor huis toe te skryf nie.

Lekker gerus en ontspan. Die plek is egter niks om oor opgewonde te raak nie. Die behuising is netjies en goed toegerus maar koud en sonder atmosfeer, maak mens bang! Die plaas werf is ook slordig en onnet. Eienaar was gaaf en vriendelik.

Die plaas is baie sentraal om die breër omgewing te kan verken en Ben's Cottage is heerlik in die winter ook!

Die plaas is baie mooi geleë, die personeel super-vriendelik en hulpvaardig en Ben's Cottage is 'n heerlike wintershuisie - die Queen Anne stofie is ongelooflik effektief. Die grootste bederf is die verwelkoming met varsgebakte brood, botter, konfyte en plaasmelk!

The farm is very central to explore the wider area and Ben's Cottage is lovely during the winter as well!

The farm boasts a beautiful location, the staff are super friendly and helpful and Ben's Cottage is a wonderful little winter nook. The Queen Anne stove is incredibly effective. The biggest treat is the welcoming with freshly baked bread, butter, jam and farm milk.
