Beautiful nature and starry sky. Rest for the soul. We had a great stay, but there were a few niggles: The solar panels are great, but started to scream early Friday night and a little later Saturday night. The most annoying warning sound every hour until the next morning. I suspect the batteries need replacing, because we used the lights minimally, so that leaves only the fridge drawing power.

Pragtige natuur en sterrehemel. Rus vir die siel. Ons het lekker gebly, maar daar was 'n paar kriewelinge: Die sonkragpanele is wonderlik, maar het begin skreeu vroeg die Vrydagaand en bietjie later die Saterdagaand. Die mees irriterendste waarskuwing geluid elke uur tot die volgende oggend. Ek vermoed die batterye moet vervang word, want ons het die ligte minimaal gebruik, so dit los net die yskas wat krag getrek het.

Christine, ons waardeer jou terugvoer en sal beslis aandag gee aan die solarstelsel. Gelukkig kon Gerald die probleem vir julle uitsorteer. Ons is bly dat julle die pragtige natuur en sterrehemel geniet het. Ons sien uit daarna om julle binnekort terug te verwelkom. Blessings, Marié

Beautiful surroundings and tranquility, but disappointed in the cottage. Good location, beautiful surroundings. The cottage has a lot of potential, but is poorly maintained and needs a lot of attention. Definitely not worth R1,390 per night. Solar system was problematic. We left a day earlier than booked. The ceiling/roof of the porch was covered in bats, so constant fog on the porch. The rest of the wildlife was special to experience.

Pragtige omgewing en rustigheid, maar teleurgesteld in die kothuis. Goeie ligging, pragtige omgewing. Die kothuis het baie potensiaal, maar is swak onderhou en het baie aandag nodig. Definitief nie R1,390 per nag werd nie. Sonkragstelsel was problematies. Ons het 'n dag vroeër vertrek as wat bespreek was. Stoep se plafon/dak deurtrek van vlermuise, dus konstante mis op die stoep. Res van die wildelewe was besonders om te ervaar.

Most beautiful nature and silence. The only problem was the 10h00 going out, so unfortunately my wife couldn't experience it, because then she would have to sit and wait for 5 hours in another place.

Mooiste natuur en stilte. Die enigste probleem was die 10h00 uitgaan, so my vrou kon dit ongelukkig nie beleef nie, want sou dan moes sit en wag vir 5 ure op 'n ander plek.

Thank you for your positive feedback, Annamarie. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. However, we are always open to a request to book out later if there are no guests arriving on the same day, and would certainly grant you the grace to book out later. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Blessings Marie

Dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer, Annamarie. Ons is bly dat jy jou verblyf geniet het. Ons is egter altyd oop vir 'n versoek om later uit te boek as daar nie gaste dieselfde dag inkom nie, en sou julle beslis die grasie verleen om later uit te boek. Ons sien uit daarna om julle binnekort terug te verwelkom. Blessings Marié

God-believing experience to be so close to your Creator's creation. Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control (stormy weather), we were forced to pack up quickly on Sunday evening. There is no cell phone reception and it rained non-stop, so we packed up within an hour and drove back to Cape Town at 7 o'clock Sunday evening. We came back just in time, otherwise we would also have been among the people caught in the floods. We recommend the stay with the greatest boldness if you want to "connect" with God and His creation. Here you can reload for sure. You have the necessary facilities to do what you could do at home when it comes to meals. Everything is there. You don't even miss your luxuries of home. There is a lovely fireplace as well as a gas heater. In the summer there are many more activities to take part in, such as cycling and hiking, as well as admiring the birds and the beautiful vegetation.

Godgelooflike ervaring om so naby aan jou Skepper se skepping te kon wees. Weens onvoorsiene omstandighede buite ons beheer (stormweer) moes ons noodgedwonge vinnig oppak Sondagaand. Daar is geen selfoonopvangs en dit het onophoudelik gereën, so ons het binne 'n uur klaar gepak en 7 uur Sondagaand teruggery Kaap toe. Ons het net betyds teruggekom, anders was ons ook van die mense wat vasgevang was met die oorstromings. Ons beveel die verblyf met die grootste vrymoedigheid aan as jy wil "connect" met God en Sy skepping. Hier kan jy vir seker weer herlaai. Jy het die nodige geriewe om te doen wat jy tuis ook kon doen as dit by etes kom. Alles is daar. Jy mis nie eens jou luuksighede van jou huis nie. Daar is 'n heerlike kaggel asook 'n gasverwarmer. In die somer is daar baie meer aktiwiteite om aan deel te neem, soos fietsry en die staproetes doen, asook die voëls bewonder, en die pragtige plantegroei.

Solitude. Quietness. Setting is unbelievable. An excellent 3-night break away to read and do nothing. There was a massive storm and the rain on the roof and passing river sounded amazing. Highly recommended.

Buitestekloof Mountain Cottages exceeded our wildest expectations! In the 2 days we were here, it felt like we were on vacation for a week. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. To become part of nature in this way - palpable silences, the most beautiful bird sounds, rippling water streams, sunsets that are picture-perfect and a starry splendor that is indescribable! The highlight was of course the heated swimming pool! What more do you want now? If your need is to charge batteries, Buitestekloof Mountain Cottages is your answer!

Buitenstekloof Mountain Cottages het ons wildste verwagtinge oortref! In die 2 dae wat ons hier was, het dit gevoel asof ons vir 'n week lank op vakansie was. Die natuurskoon is absoluut asemrowend. Om op so manier deel te word van die natuur - aanvoelbare stiltes, pragtigste voëlgeluide, kabbelende waterstrome, sonsondergange wat prentjiemooi is en 'n sterreprag wat onbeskryflik is! Die hoogtepunt was natuurlik die verhitte swembadjie! Wat meer wil jy dan nou hê? As jou behoefte is om batterye te laai, is Buitenstekloof Mountain Cottages jou antwoord!

Heaven is a place on earth... And we found it at Buitenstekloof Mountain Cottages! The rustic simplicity of Witkruis Cottage was exactly what we needed for a couple's weekend away. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.

Quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Perfect place to go and switch off with a good book. Beautiful location with mountains and fynbos wherever you look. The cottage has everything you need and much more.

Stil, rustig, en ontspannend. Perfekte plek om te gaan afskakel met 'n lekker boek. Pragtige ligging met berge en fynbos waar jy kyk. Die kothuis het alles wat jy benodig en nog baie meer.

Off the grid well rested. Very quiet in the mountains. Robertson is very close and beautiful mountains as a back drop. Awesome place.

Baie rustig in die berge. Robertson is baie naby en mooi berge as back drop. Awesome plekkie.

Nice quiet, nice break. The mountains right around the house were more beautiful than we expected. Huisie was also well rested. Maybe just take some extra flash with you. Will definitely lie there again in the nice warm swimming pool.

Lekker rustig, lekker breek. Dit berge reg rondom die huisie was mooier as wat ons verwag het. Huisie was ook goed toe gerus. Vat dalk net bietjie ektra blits saam. Sal beslis weer daarso gaan lam lê in die lekker warm swembadjie.
