"Beautiful working farm with amazing hikes, views and a clear spring rockpool!"

8.0

The property is breathtaking and the hikes are unbelievable and very well marked with the most beautiful views. There is a crystal clear spring Rockpool in the poplar forest, which is just the best after a long day of hiking. There is a fenced area around the front garden, so it is perfect if you want to bring your dog. The horses, geese and donkeys are wonderful to watch. There is a river that runs along the property with Lesotho huts just across from the river. I will come back to this property. There was so much to do and see. A weekend was definitely too short.

The cottage we stayed in was part of the main compound, which we didn't realise at the time of booking, but we still had beautiful views and privacy. The bed and toaster was broken, but they were fixing it as we left, so there is all in all really nothing to complain about. We had a wonderful stay!

Great location, quiet and peaceful. We had a "cottage" which was great for a couple. Fireplace inside, bathtub and outside area with braai. Everything was clean.

Spacious accommodation, beautiful view, very peaceful, modern kitchen appliances

The gaps in the fence are big enough for medium sized dogs to fit through so we had to constantly monitor our small breed dogs to avoid them escaping.

"I wish we could have stayed to explore!"

10.0

This place is well worth the heading off the main drag for. We only had a very quick one-night stop and I so wish we had had longer to explore. Derek was incredibly welcoming and helpful, the accommodation was lovely and the setting is incredible. We got there just in time for a swim in the natural forest pool before the sun went down and hope to come back to explore the hiking trails one day. The road is rough but this was made clear at the the start and is worth it to reach this gem.
