Melk Houte Bosch Guest Farm

The accommodation and facilities were excellent and as advertised. Sonja and Hennie were brilliant hosts, salt of the earth people with hospitality just a natural part of who they are.

Such a nice place, just a pity that we could not stay longer! The house is truly spacious and comfortable, with all the things you could need. The friendly doggies were a bonus. The gravel road to the farm is quite a long drive, but the area was very safe and we loved the beautiful clean open night sky.

My friends and I stayed in the farm house over news years 2025. I must say, we were all blown away with how amazing the location and the service was. The views are spectacular and the farm dogs are such pleasant, well behaved and loving visitors! We specifically enjoyed the easy access pool in the back yard which we swam in way too many times to count. We also went out to the river and kayaked as well, Sonja was extremely helpful with directing us and making sure we get there safely. We loved our stay so much we had to book another night and thankfully Sonja was more than happy to have us for one more day on such short notice! We will definitely be back. New favourite holiday spot for sure.

The farm is beautiful and the farm house is very spacious , the farm doggies are a treat too , our holiday dogs as we were missing ours It was lovely to wake up to the soft mooing of the cows

As the river is the only way to cool down , I felt the access could have been cleaned up and made more accessible,

Very spacious cottage, equipped with table tennis and an indoor barbecue area. The location is stunning but be aware that you have to drive 30 km gravel road to get there. We would have loved to stay longer!
