Perfect for a hen party.
We stayed at Deruxa Cottages as a group of 14 ladies for a hen party this weekend. The place was very clean and tidy but you can see it is getting old. The staff were very friendly and helpful and communicated with us very well. It is the ideal place for such a large group and party. One as a group alone there without anyone bothering.

Disappointing, untidy, unsafe and shabby.
The road is almost impassable with a deep pool of water through which one is obliged to drive because there is no detour. We felt unsafe as there are no proper fences, although a guard seems to be patrolling. The unit itself was not dusted, with cobwebs everywhere. The bedding was dirty and the geyser was not working properly. We were dependent on cold water. We were very disappointed and wanted to go back home the first night. We then cleaned up ourselves and tried to make the best of a bad situation. The only plus point was that the lady was helpful in giving the directions. We feel that we had to pay too much for a place that was not up to standard.

Very neat and beautiful, but small site and few facilities. It falls outside the Dinokeng Game Reserve and has to drive about 20 km to Dinokeng Reserve, Nyati Gate and a further 5 km to Self Drive Route, to see big game. Deruxa has some redbucks, blue wildebeests and ostriches that welcomed us on our arrival.

Very peaceful, beautiful wildlife, few roads to drive, no steak knives, no braai bowls.
Would recommend that they have a small shop on site just for wood and ice. If you know customers start checking in at 2 o'clock, don't come and unlock the gate until 20 past 2, especially if there is loadshedding and you can't get hold of anyone. Drag more roads on the farm so that the game drive can last longer than 5 minutes. Get steak knives, braai bowls and braai tongs that are not broken as well as a cutting board in the rooms. Cleaning products are also scarce, we received 1 cloth. Sorted out the geyser at the Stable Cottage, because the water was cold all the time. You are warned that security is constantly driving around with his bike, you are scared to death if he suddenly just passes by. Offer room service. A little more attention to the smaller details. Change the description of rooms on the website, the employees on the farm only know the names of the rooms (Eland, Impala, Stable, etc.). If you know you will have guests, please make sure the pool is blue and not green. But otherwise very nice venue for a "batcholers party" - not currently suitable for family or family gatherings. For what we received we would have paid R350 per night per head in other places.

One big mess.
Where to start? I thought I was spoiling my fiance by going away on his birthday. Instead, we stayed at home. The manager of Deruxa contacted me on the Friday morning to confirm what time we would be arriving, but made no further arrangements. We followed Google Maps directions to the gate of Deruxa and arrived around 6:30pm. Arriving at the gate, we didn't know what next? There was also no signal to be able to make a call. We drove back to the tarmac and then dialed Deruxa's number - which was provided to us. The Deruxa number went to voicemail twice (after it first rang) and then a friendly man from the website answered our call. While we were on the phone with him, the person from Deruxa called us back and asked us to wait at the gate - there is a person on his way to unlock it. This was about 19:15. The lady who handed us our key mentioned that Eskom had been working on their cables since 1pm that afternoon and that the power should arrive later that evening. I immediately wondered why they didn't let us know - even before we were on our way there - that there was no power? The house was cute and tidy. The cutlery and kitchenware were very basic - and full of cobwebs. I quickly cleared the cobwebs, before my spider-phobic fiancee saw it - after taking a video first because I couldn't believe it. There was little to no signal at the place, as well as no WiFi or room service (cleaning of the place throughout the day). There were flashlights in the place, but they shone for two hours before giving up. The power didn't come on until about 2am the next morning and then we were wide awake because all the lights had been turned on at the switches by, possibly, the cleaner. On Saturday we went to Cullinan. Among other things, we should have gone to buy ice, because all our ice for the weekend had melted the night before when the power was out. It was a terrible struggle to get to the Deruxa gate, because we didn't have a key for the gate. We had to drive again to a place with a little signal and then try to get hold of the number and then drive back to the gate again and wait there until someone came to open for us. We then asked the person who came to unlock the gate if we could borrow his key to come back to Deruxa in the afternoon. On our return there was a power cut/ "loadhedding" (100% understandable) and we decided to wait for the power to arrive before we started making dinner. The power came on around 7:00 p.m. After that there was a quick thunderstorm and then the power went out again (I repeat - again) after being on for less than an hour. We called the Deruxa number and the lady on the other end of the phone did not want us to believe that the power was not on. She kept saying that she was going to give us a "half refund", but the "refund" wasn't our problem - the lack of electricity was! Just to create background - we live in Equestria in Pretoria East, about 40 min from Deruxa. We don't get power outages/ "loadshedding" and we didn't have any power outages that weekend in Equestria either. If I would have known our birthday getaway was going to be without electricity, I would have bought a tent from Makro for half the getaway cost and camped in our backyard. In hindsight, this is a funny story for us to tell around a barbecue fire, but no - I wouldn't recommend Deruxa to anyone.

The place was in such a neglected state and very dirty.
The place was really extremely dirty and old (bedding broken, couches broken). The knife and fork drawers were so dirty inside that we didn't even eat there the second night. It was really creepy. Everything around the place is neglected. Grass against the house was not cut, the braai area was very untidy. There is a gas geyser in the bathroom with no exhaust pipes to the outside (this is illegal), if you turn on the taps you only smell gas the whole time - you can die from those gases. I showered in an ice cold shower on Saturday morning and filled half the bath on Saturday night and when I felt it the water was ice cold. Power went out Friday night 6 - 9 - there was no solar light/candle or anything in the unit - it was pitch dark. I then had to call the maid after 30 min so she could bring us a light so we could just finish our food. Self-catering without any washing-up facilities with hot water? How does it work - you can't wash dishes at all - there is an outside sink with no hot water? Don't know how the maid washed the dishes? Assume the cold water in the outside sink - I think that's the reason the cutlery and crockery in the unit were very dirty. Oh no man, I'm bitterly disappointed. We actually wanted to drive back on Saturday morning, but then I told my husband we paid a lot of money - we can't just drive. Very dirty sheets with stains everywhere - this really was one of the worst stay experiences for us in a long time. Filthy and messy dirty with an open ash hole - broken chair, rubbish lying everywhere and plants and bushes overgrowing everything. If they advertise the place for R200 a night I will say yes - but R950 a night is really a lot of money and then people expect a place that is clean and tidy. It was really disgusting!

Disappointed.
First, we waited 40 minutes for the owner to open the gate for us. It is advertised as "in Dinokeng" which is totally untrue. This is located 40 minutes, or 20 km, outside Dinokeng. The unit itself was reasonably clean, but the bathroom mats looked like they hadn't been washed in 10 years. There were also not enough cutlery. The braai facilities were never cleaned and an old, rotten mop welcomed us there. It was quite an eyesore. Deruxa Cottages also needs repairs and basic maintenance on the units as a whole. It will-will fall apart. The photos are extremely misleading. Really disappointed. Do not recommend this accommodation to anyone.

The people that work there are so friendly and helpful. The place was so clean and neat. It was so nice to fall asleep and wake up with the sounds of nature around you and no sounds of city life. The place has a very rustic feel, but the bathrooms were modern, which is a very good combination according to us. It was the best place to just get away for a night. Thank you very much.

Nice but also disappointing in one sense
The fact that the place is not in Dinokeng but is advertised as such was a big disappointment, they will also need to explain the types of accommodation better. Furthermore, the accommodation was very neat and very nice, the water pressure had indeed been a very big problem, with two of the rooms with almost nothing and one with absolutely nothing. The workers and security were fantastic, the people went out of their way for us with any request. Suggestions, let them know there is ice available, sell normal wood as well as bundles for people who like to sit around a forest fire. Think the place has so much more potential. But that said we had a good time, but we are easygoing people, don't think everyone is going to feel that way.

It was lovely to be there and the place was nice and clean. Grateful for the unit which was a bit remote and close enough to walk to the pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Recommendation for the outdoor shower: Build a half-body shelter so that one can still enjoy nature, but not completely shower in the open. Recommendation for the entrance: Please update. the board with the latest contact number, as well as we were quite unsure about who we were meeting and how to get into the farm (more clarity with the directions would be appreciated).

Peaceful getaway in the woods with friends.
We were a group of 9 adults and 4 children and booked the farmhouse and two of the cottages. The farmhouse is very spacious and well equipped (the kitchen is a bit sparsely equipped) and everything was clean and tidy. We had a lovely, peaceful time and there is enough space that no one is under anyone else's feet. The staff were friendly and very helpful and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We even saw a few goats. It's close enough out of the city for a quick getaway but also far enough that you feel like you're away from the city's noise. We have already decided to go for longer next year.

Dit was perfek vir dit waarvoor ons nodig gehad het. Dit kon skoner wees, maar ons het dit darem steeds geniet.

It was perfect for what we needed it for. It could be cleaner, but at least we still enjoyed it.
We booked the Farm House and one Executive Cottage for one night over the weekend. On arrival a lady showed us around and unlocked everything for us. The Farm House was not as clean as we wanted it to be and some of the guests complained about insects in the bedding and garbage in the bathrooms. It was also clear that there had not been a quick sweep or wash prior to our arrival, because there were leaves and small piles of dirt lying around right over the house. The dishwasher is also out of order so we washed the dishes ourselves before we drove. Despite the cleanliness and the insects, it remains a well-located and affordable getaway spot. It's just a shame that the photos on their website don't quite match what you get when you get there.

Nice, neat farmhouse for large group of people. All that is needed for an evening or two. Just think they should look a little more at their kitchen facilities, after we checked in, we first had to ask the lady on duty on the premises for glasses, bowls etc. Think they should be better informed and ensure that the number of crockery etc. what is needed for a group of people must be available, so that one does not need to ask for anything. Pots do not have lids, etc. But other than that it was very neat and clean and the person on duty Lerato made sure everything was tidy. Small things that we definitely just have to look at that are needed in and around the house. E.g. some of the windows didn't even have curtains or blinds. Strange.

The visit was very nice and the children enjoyed the house.
The rooms and bathrooms are very nice, neat and clean. The kitchen could improve. Cupboards are broken and there is not enough crockery at all. For example, there is no meat bowl, not even porridge bowls or bowls to serve food in. Of the whole house, the kitchen was disappointing. The pool table's sticks were also all broken and the DStv did not want to work. The one glass sliding door's lock was broken and could not close. At least there was security all night which helped.

Not what we expected.
The pictures look very nice but the place does not look like the pictures. The place is quite clean but curtains are dirty and look neglected. We requested wood and got none. The website says there is a place to eat but there isn't. Nor anywhere to buy anything. The dirt road was also very bad.

Very neat and nice.
The GPS location that you get from Google is not right and confused us quite a bit. But if you drive another 3 km there are clear signs indicating where you should turn. Arriving at the venue, the gates are not very welcoming. But the venue itself is really nice, the lapa area is ideal for birthdays with a fully equipped kitchen. The staff really helped us very well. We were just ladies and felt very safe with the security guard passing by all the time.

It was okay.
No reception on arrival. One staff member was quite helpful thanks. Only one wine glass and one other glass available after first night. Gate key given does not work well with lock.
