Exquisite accommodation on a game farm.
Grootvallei is located about 8 km by good gravel road outside Boshof. Neel is a thoughtful and caring host, who makes sure guests are comfortable, and then leaves you to enjoy the silence. The photos do not do the farm or suite justice. The unit is exceptionally spacious, fully equipped with even a Nespresso machine and the decor is elegant. The swimming pool is a stone's throw away and the antelope come to graze almost right up to the front porch, where the peacocks seek shelter from the sun. It is a wonderful place to switch off and relax. Unfortunately, we chose to stay on sweltering days, when it is difficult to sleep. Because it is located on a farm, one cannot leave the windows open at night for coolness due to the insects. Air conditioning would be a wonderful addition for guests staying in the warm months, although most probably choose the cooler months (hunting season). We would have preferred two single beds – as in the photos – but got a double bed. Still, I can highly recommend Grootvallei. We drove through to Kimberley every day for meals and shopping along the good gravel road and equally good tar road.
Keurige verblyf op ’n wildplaas.
Grootvallei is sowat 8 km met ’n goeie grondpad buite Boshof geleë. Neel is ’n bedagsame en sorgsame gasheer, wat seker maak gaste is gemaklik, en jou dan los om die stilte te geniet. Die foto’s laat nie reg aan die plaas óf suite geskied nie. Die eenheid is besonder ruim, volledig toegerus met selfs ’n Nespresso-masjien en die dekor is elegant. Die swembad is ’n hanetree daarvandaan geleë en die wildsbokke kom wei tot feitlik teenaan die voorstoep, waar die poue skuiling soek teen die son. Dis ’n wonderlike plek om af te skakel en rustig te raak. Ons het ongelukkig snikhete dae gekies om oor te bly, wanneer dit moeilik is om te slaap. Omdat dit op ’n plaas geleë is, kan ’n mens weens die insekte nie snags die vensters laat oopstaan vir koelte nie. Lugversorging sal ’n wonderlike toevoeging wees vir gaste wat in die warm maande oorbly, hoewel die meeste seker die koeler maande (jagseisoen) kies. Ons sou ook twee enkelbeddens – soos op die foto’s – verkies het, maar het ’n dubbelbed gekry. Tog kan ek Grootvallei ten sterkste aanbeveel. Ons het elke dag deurgery Kimberley toe vir etes en inkopies met die goeie grondpad en ewe goeie teerpad langs.
