Nightmare.
I booked for 2 nights away in a promised quiet and peaceful place. Beautiful photos and view. Owner was very friendly when she met us. Woolworths tissues and double ply toilet paper and expensive coffee do not make up for accommodation. She said she upgraded us and I shudder to think what that would have been. The bedding from Mr Price is reasonable and was clean, only dead bugs in it. The first morning we woke up to blaring music from one of their workers who went on to Loadshedding. We drove to town instead it was so disturbing. No bird calls with the noise of the unit where he worked. The dogs beg all the time when you barbecue and the barbecue area was still wet so could not use it, was such a wheelbarrow effect. The chickens are around the unit all day so it has a bit of a farm feel. View is reasonable. Half built places and rubbish on yard. Maybe their guest house is better. At night there is the severe noise that comes from Barberton's rush of vehicles. So no sitting quietly outside. They will have to repair with the sistafoam that they used to install window frames and have already crumbled and left gaping openings, any snake can sail into. I would not recommend their place at all.

Wonderful views with a typical farm atmosphere.
We enjoyed it very much! Simple, neat and clean with a lovely farm atmosphere and a very nice view of Barberton and the valley. The beds have decent mattresses with top quality linen and we slept much better than at other more expensive overnight stays. There are even mosquito nets on each bed. What a surprise to get a bottle of real Jacobs coffee (not the plastic coffee in paper bags) something we've never found at any overnight stop.

Forest experience with all the amenities.
The fact that shower and toilet are in one room is a bit of a challenge for a group. Separate toilet will help a lot. Please. more light in kitchen: above microwave and next to fridge, above table. Stronger Wi-Fi. Although we didn't use the oven this time, a good oven is a plus.

Hi Hannelie,
Thank you so much for your review. It is constructive and very helpful for us when working to improve Bushwhacked. We are aiming for faster Wi-Fi with a new service provider, can certainly organise better lighting in the kitchen and will put thought into the possibility of a separate toilet. We're glad that you enjoyed staying with us and hope to host you again in the future.
Kindest regards,
Catherine and Pete

First impressions look so-so, but the house is clean and tidy.
Upon arrival, my wife was skeptical and hesitant. However, the room and the rest of the house are neat and spacious. The shower and toilet area looks like it is not yet finished. I would recommend at least some type of ceiling to hide the bare corrugated iron sheets. It is very quiet though. A security gate and fence will give a better sense of security.

The owner is very friendly and helpful, but the accommodation disappointed us.
We don't feel we got value for our money. In the ad the place was introduced as a "Garden Cottage", but when we got there we saw the name was "Skip's Shack" and the name definitely fits better. There is a very good, large bed in the place, which is actually too big for the room so it is against the wall and it makes it difficult for older people to get in and out of bed. The finish leaves much to be desired, all the venters do not have curtains, some curtains cannot be closed and the curtains were far too long and the hems were stuck with bobby pins. The floors are unfinished cement floors. The bathroom blind was stuck about 20 cm from the bottom and anyone could look in from the outside. The site was not tidy and is not very accessible.

Hi Judy,
Thank you for your constructive feedback, we will try to organize the room differently so that the bed can be accessed from both sides, and we have already remedied the curtains. The floors are not unfinished, it is a style, so we are truly sorry that it is not a style that you liked. We have repaired the bathroom blind, and as soon as I have time I will put a rail alongside the steps to make accessibility a bit easier. We do feel that we offer value for money but we do appreciate the helpful comments in your review.
Kind Regards,
Peter and Catherine
