God's little piece of heaven. To feel like you are the only people on earth is a rare experience. We stayed in Witkruis Cottage and the views all around the cottage are things you dream of. Mountains behind you, mountains in front of you and mountains to the side of you. Inside is comfortable and quaint with everything you need. We loved the experience of solar and gas and comfortably cooked meals and made coffee. The bed was super comfortable and we slept like the dead. The bathroom is a lovely size with the most amazing views while you shower. We enjoyed a walk to the other cottages and house and mountain biking between the vineyards. I didn't want to pack up and go home to the suburbs. I will be back.

Quite, peaceful, stunning views, rustic, remote. Always amazing. I have been there 3 times now and each time is better than the last. No signal, which is perfect. Stunning views. Has a hot tub, which is the best part. Definitely going back again. One of my favourite places to go for a remote getaway.

Fantastic! Wonderful place where you find peace for your soul. Enjoyed everything so much and it is so beautiful there. From the beautiful house to the beautiful trees and plants. Can't wait until we can go again.

Fantasties! Wonderlike plek waar jy vrede vir jou siel vind. Het alles so geniet en dit is so mooi daar. Van die mooi huis tot die pragtige bome en plante. Kan nie wag tot ons weer kan gaan nie.

Great atmosphere. Breathtakingly beautiful. The hiking trail is a little overgrown and the hot water in the shower is a little tricky to work out, but overall just everything!

Beautiful area but too off grid for us! We have some positives and some negatives. Firstly, the house's location is very special and the mountains are phenomenal. The negatives are that the house is very basic and not well maintained. The water in the dam is not swimmable. The pool is, but it is very small and has a few dead creatures floating in it. The off-the-grid nature of the house is very evident in everything you do. There is only a plug point in the kitchen, which only charges a few phones, nothing more. No microwave or hairdryers! The water is also sometimes hot, but you will mainly have a coldish shower. There is no WiFi, which is fine, but then there is also no mobile service. So if anything should go wrong, you would have no way to contact anyone. We found this difficult with our young family. I would recommend this place for people with no children and who are interested in totally switching off from the outside world.

Hi Rolien, we are glad that you enjoyed the beautiful setting and nature all around. People love to get away from it all, especially nature lovers, but we can understand if it is too off-grid for you. As indicated, it is a plunge pool, not a normal swimming pool, and often our guests swim in the farm dam filled with fountain water. The absence of microwaves and hair dryers is clearly communicated with our confirmation email well before arrival. As for communication, should you need help, WiFi is available a short drive or walk from Pomegranate at the entrance to the kloof. We have accommodated multiple families with children who absolutely loved the setting and surroundings and had the best time exploring and having fun. Blessings Marié

Most beautiful house among the trees that seriously needs attention. Baboons Gift is the most beautiful house with the nicest porch in the trees, but the place needs serious maintenance and a good cleaning. It is raining inside on the bed and on the table on the stoep because leaks. The gas geyser needs a good service and so does the power system. There are bugs that have nested in that thatched roof and are crawling out everywhere. Fortunately, I brought Doom with me. The bathroom almost had a bug carpet, so many there were. If the roof is redone, the geyser and power system are serviced, and the place is well scrubbed, I will go again. Very helpful, but could only do so much about the power and geyser. I didn't stay my 3rd night because I didn't want a cold shower and the power system screaming all night.

Mooiste huisie tussen die bome wat ernstig aandag kort. Baboons Gift is die mooiste huisie met die lekkerste stoep in die bome, maar die plek kort ernstige onderhoud en 'n goeie skoonmaak. Dit reën binne op die bed en op die tafel op die stoep a.g.v. lekkasies. Die gasgeyser benodig 'n goeie diens en die kragstelsel ook. Daar is goggas wat in daardie rietdak nesgemaak het en orals uitkruip. Gelukkig het ek Doom saamgevat. Die badkamer het amper 'n gogga-mat gehad, so baie was daar. As die dak oorgedoen word, die geyser en kragstelsel gediens word, en die plek goed geskrop word, sal ek weer gaan. Baie behulpsaam, maar kon ook net soveel doen omtrent die krag en geyser. Ek het nie my 3de aand gebly nie, want ek het nie kans gesien vir 'n koue stort en die kragstelsel wat heelnag skreeu nie.

Beautiful scenery, but house dilapidated and not clean. Disappointing. I would like to recommend it because the setting is beautiful, but the house is dilapidated and a safety risk. Doorknobs are broken, chairs are broken, boards are broken from liners and a big risk if you step on them. The scenery is beautiful, but the house needs serious renovation and therefore it is not worth the money. My friends were disappointed.

Natuurskoon mooi, maar huis vervalle en nie skoon nie. Terleurstellend. Ek sal dit graag aanbeveel want die omgewing is pragtig, maar die huis is vervalle en 'n veiligheidsrisiko. Deurknoppe is stukkend, stoele is stukkend, planken van voere gebroke en 'n groot risiko as jy daarin trap. Die natuurskoon is mooi, maar die huis kort ernstige opknap en daarom is dit nie die geld werd nie. My vriende was teleurgesteld.

Thanks for your feedback, Liezl. We are not aware of broken chairs but will check. There are no broken floors inside the house either, but again will check carefully and make sure all doorknobs work. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and mountains all around! Blessings Marie

Dankie vir jou terugvoer, Liezl. Ons is nie bewus van stoele wat stukkend is nie, maar sal dit nagaan. Daar is ook geen stukkende vloere binne in die huis nie, maar sal weer noukeurig nagaan en seker maak dat alle deurknoppe werk. Ons is bly om te hoor dat julle die pragtige natuurskoon en berge reg rondom geniet het! Blessings Marie

Underwhelming. Would not return. Beautiful scenery in nature reserve. Very isolated setting. No cell reception. Loads of spiders and frogs in the house. Only one of the two showers had hot water. No honesty basket filled with products as advertised. The splash pool was empty so we couldn't swim.

Thank you for your review, Yolanda. Our nature-loving guests love the beautiful setting in the mountains and especially getting away from cell reception, to really switch off, relax and connect with each other. We have never found frogs in the homestead. The homestead was thoroughly cleaned the morning before your arrival, but as it was raining the whole weekend, an odd spider might have found refuge to escape the rain. We always ask our guests to let us know as soon as they have a problem or need assistance, so that we can address and solve the problem as soon as possible. We hope you enjoyed your complimentary bottles of wine. Blessings, Marié.

Dankie vir jou resensie, Yolanda. Ons natuurliefhebbers is mal oor die pragtige omgewing in die berge en veral om weg te kom van selontvangs, om regtig af te skakel, te ontspan en met mekaar te skakel. Ons het nog nooit paddas in die opstal gekry nie. Die opstal is die oggend voor jou aankoms deeglik skoongemaak, maar aangesien dit die hele naweek gereën het, het 'n vreemde spinnekop dalk 'n toevlug gevind om die reën te ontsnap. Ons vra altyd ons gaste om ons te laat weet sodra hulle 'n probleem het of hulp nodig het, sodat ons die probleem so gou moontlik kan aanspreek en oplos. Ons hoop jy het jou komplimentêre bottels wyn geniet. Blessings, Marié.

Very quiet and nice barbecue on the outdoor barbecue and stoep - a winner. Very peaceful and an ideal place to get away from everything - cell phones, TV, etc. However, the gas geyser and shower need very urgent attention. As requested, we did not go to the geyser at all, but could only enjoy a hot shower once for about 40 seconds during the three days' stay. The geyser turns on but does not go above 18C. The gas stove also takes a lifetime to boil just two cups of water.

Baie rustig en lekker gebraai op die buitebraai en stoep - 'n wenner. Baie rustig en 'n ideale plek om weg te kom van alles - selfone, TV, ens. Die gasgeyser en stort kort egter baie dringend aandag. Ons het volgens versoek glad nie aan die geyser gestel nie, maar kon net eenkeer vir sowat 40 sekondes 'n warm stort geniet in die drie dae se verblyf. Die geyser skakel aan, maar gaan nie bokant 18C nie. Die gasstofie vat ook 'n leeftyd om net twee koppies water te kook.
