Pool, views, braai, cottage is spacious

Hard to get there. Not many opportunities to start a nice walk with the dog from the cottage.

"Mountain paradise!"

10.0

We loved absolutely everything! Without a shadow of doubt one of our favorite places to come and relax! The waterfall is an absolute MUST! Worth the GROOT trek up the hill!

Nothing to dislike here! Only that our stay is always too short - this place is a hidden gem!

"Comfortable, small off the grid cottage"

9.0

The location and the natural pools, hiking trails and the donkey on the inside which can also act as a fireplace.

We unfortunately had cold and rainy weather when we were there, but it did clear up now and then. The place is best enjoyed when it's warm and sunny.

"Definately one of our most memorable experiences!"

10.0

Breathtaking. The cabin is rustic but yet very refined. Joel has spared no effort to create a truly unique experience which connects you to nature, but has all creature comforts which one could need.In all our travels we have yet to encounter a more hospitable host. Thank you Joel for the privilege of sharing your piece of eden with us.

The only regret was that our schedule did not allow us more time here.

"A unique and totally different experience. Peace, privacy & free to disengage from life's stresses"

9.0

We chose this for the uniqueness of the location - high up, hidden from view from the road and very private. Also for the unique property type, being off-grid and a totally different lifestyle. For four days we could wander around wearing nothing but a pair of sunglasses! The pool was great and Joel, the host, was very relaxed and laid back about everything and very welcoming.

The parking is at the bottom of a very steep and rough track which means Joel meets you at the bottom in his pick-up to take you up to his accommodation - or you can attempt quite an arduous walk. The track is really only suitable for a 4X4 and although we just about managed to get up to the top in our hire car (VW Tiguan automatic) we wished we hadn't as coming down was even worse and we were so worried the car wouldn't make it without damage. The ability to recharge and use electrical items was limited, mainly to charging mobiles etc. Twice the electrics (including the fridge) went off overnight as the storage batteries for the solar were struggling (at the time of our stay) although Joel did immediately rectify it each morning. Don't take a hairdryer - not really needed.
