Relaxing sound of the river, starry nights, old school kitchen and the loveliest hosts. Thank you.

Heerlik rustig

Die akkommodasie bied heerlike afgesonderde verblyf weg van enige geraas-, lig- of elektro-besoedeling! Die kombuis is uitstekend toegerus en die sonkrag en gas werk goed. Ons gasheer en gasvrou was baie behulpsaam.

Wonderfully peaceful

The accommodation offers lovely secluded accommodation away from any noise, light or electro pollution! The kitchen is excellently equipped and the solar power and gas work well. Our host and hostess were very helpful.

Hot relaxing enjoyable.

Comfortable apart from the heat, but the river, birding, and mountains, and Jenny & Jan were cool!

We stayed for 4 days and loved every minute.

What a spectacular place. We loved every moment of the quiet.

As above.

Peaceful, beautiful, comfortable, and functional. Jenny and Jan were helpful and friendly, not obtrusive!

I was expecting quiet - that's what I got. Die Poort Private Nature Reserve is a charming destination.

Die Poort Private Nature Reserve is at the end of the road where the Gamka River exits the Swartberg having flowed from the Great Karoo past Die Hel. We were privileged to find the river flowing strongly. Fig Tree Cottage is surrounded by mountains - you're all on your own except for hosts Jenny and Jan who stay further along the road. Take your loadshedding lights with you - the solar-powered lights are not great and it's very dark at night. If solitude is not your thing, Die Poort Private Nature Reserve may be an imposition. If you long for a break from the rat race try Die Poort Private Nature Reserve - it's not a one-night stop. Spend time on the farm and recreate. The water supply was wonderful! Crystal-clear mountain water from a spring which seems never to have run dry. Thank you to Jenny, Jan and the Rabie family for sharing this beautiful place.

Onvergeetlike, wonderlike stilte tussen die berge.

Baie netjiese, gerieflike basiese geriewe. Ons het lekker gebly!

Rustig en mooi.

Ons het net gesukkel met die geyser. Die eienaar was baie behulpsaam maar ons kon nie in warm water stort. Die solar ligte het nie gewerk maar daar was 'n flitslig en fairy light.

Quiet and beautiful.

We just struggled with the geyser. The owner was very helpful but we could not shower in hot water. The solar lights did not work but there was a flashlight and fairy light.

Pragtig afgeleë, goed toegerus en lekker staproetes met indrukwekkende plante diversiteit.

Fig Tree cottage is 'n heerlike blyplek, goed toegerus en skoon. Die beligting in die huisie en anneks is gebrekkig, maak seker jy bring addisionele beligting saam. Die staproete in Steering se Kloof (dit het ons 3 uur geneem) is beslis die moeite werd!

Beautifully remote, well equipped and nice hiking trails with impressive plant diversity.

Fig Tree cottage is a lovely place to stay, well equipped and clean. The lighting in the cottage and annex is poor, make sure you bring additional lighting. The walking route in Steering's Kloof (it took us 3 hours) is definitely worth it!
