Unforgettable. Was fantastic to get away from the city noise and be so close to nature. The mountains, the hiking trails, the beautiful waterfall, the canoe, the shower with all the bugs, everything was just amazing. Chose the log cabin for our week there, next time maybe choose something closer to the pool, a bit far to drive every time the kids want to swim. The only downside is the very small fridge, because the place is so far away and the dirt road is so long, we had to take food and drinks for 6 days. Couldn't fit anything in the freezer and most of the meat went bad in the heat, couldn't keep cold drinks cold either. And in 42 degrees it was quite an issue not to have anything cold.

Onvergeetlik. Was fantasties om weg te kom van die stad se geraas en so naby die natuur te wees. Die berge, die staproetes, die pragtige waterval, die kano, die stort met al die goggas, alles was net amazing. Het die houthuis gekies vir ons week daar, sal volgende keer dalk iets nader aan die swembad kies, bietjie ver om elke keer te ry as die kinders wil swem. Enigste nadeel is die bitter klein yskas, omdat die plek so ver geleë is en die grondpad so lank is, moes ons kos en drinkgoed vat vir 6 dae. Kon basies niks in die vrieskas inpas nie en meeste vleis het afgegaan in die hitte, kon ook nie koeldranke koud hou nie. En in 42 grade was dit nogal 'n issue om niks kouds te hê nie.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry about the fridge space. If only you had mentioned it to the manager when you had the problem. We have large freezer and refrigerator facilities that you could have used. Glad you enjoyed it though.

Dankie vir die terugvoer. Jammer oor die yskas spasie. As julle dit net vir die bestuurderes genoem het toe julle die probleem gehad het. Ons het groot vries- en koelgeriewe wat julle kon gebruik het. Bly julle het dit nogtans geniet.

Beautiful peaceful location and kid friendly. Great location and beautiful surrounds, plus a playground that's easily visible from the house, so good for young kids. The pool was a plus as well. Note that if you want any meals at the restaurant, you need to book in advance, and they only accept cash.

Fresh nature, beautiful mountains, relaxing and delicious! Nice people and service! Yes, very nice. The manager and Michael are good, nice people. They make you feel it. I will never forget it! Please don't lose them one day, it would be a mistake! The farm workers are very kind and well-mannered! Very lovely people! I love you all! Pastor Jacobs and family.

Natuurvars, pragberge, ontspannend lekker! Gawe mense en diens! Ja, baie lekker. Die bestuurderes en Michael is goeie gawe mense. Hulle maak jou dit voel. Ek sal nooit dit vergeet nie! Moet asb. nie eendag hulle verloor nie, dit sal 'n fout wees! Die plaaswerkers is baie goedgesind en gemanierd! Baie lieflike mense! Ek lief julle almal! Pastor Jacobs en gesin.

Never again, no cellphone reception and very bad roads. Excellent hosts on the farm. We booked for 2 nights but left after the 1st night with no refund, due to no cellphone reception in the area and very bad roads. You will need a 4x4 if you don't want damages to your vehicle. The hosts were excellent; they assisted us with food as there is no shop for 100 km and helped us with our vehicle that was stuck with no fuel.

Thank you for the review. What you say is correct and is mentioned on all our information pages. I am sure you must have seen it when you made the booking. The farm is for people who want to digitally detox. You do not need a 4x4. Only a vehicle with a reasonable ground clearance.

A wooden mountain cottage with class. The mountain cottage is privately situated in stunning surroundings. The finish is a unique combination of rustic and extremely comfortable, with everything that one needs (including no TV and no WiFi) for a wonderful stay. Helene and Michael are incredible hosts who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and ensure that we had an excellent time there. The little extras, like freshly baked bread, were much appreciated. If you are looking for a remote place to stay that is comfortable and homely, then El Yolo One is for you! Do yourself a favour and try it out!
