Teleurstellend.

Baie teleurstellend. Ek voel dat ons om die bos gelei was deur valse bemarking. Die hoofaantrekkingspunt van die verblyf was die KolKol-bad. Ons moes toe die laatste aand hoor ons moet R250 rand per dag daarvoor betaal. On aanvaarbaar.

Disappointing.

Very disappointing. I feel that we were led astray by false marketing. The main attraction of the stay was the KolKol bath. We then had to hear on the last night that we had to pay R250 rand per day for it. Unacceptable.

Stunning place to just be, with nature and peace and quiet.

Wow what a beautiful location for a weekend away! We loved our two nights at Just Be! The room was clean and cosy, the kolkol Jacuzzi worked great and the scenery and animals were a delight. Highly recommend Just Be if you want a unique experience and space to relax.

Rustigheid vir die siel.

By JustBe kan jy rustig terugsit, skoene uitskop en net luilekker die natuur om jou geniet. Ry deur die plaas en besigtig die diere en natuur.

Tranquility for the soul.

At JustBe you can sit back, kick off your shoes and just lazily enjoy the nature around you. Drive through the farm and view the animals and nature.

What a blissful weekend!

We enjoyed every minute of our weekend at JustBe! From wallowing in the KolKol hot tub, our delicious platter enjoyed on a spectacular sunset game drive, to beautiful early morning walks with zebra, wildebeest and springbok all around us and of course the fantastic outdoor shower with nature all around. We can highly recommend JustBe Farm Retreat!

Afskakel en ontspan.

Baie rustig en heel afgesonder, as jy net wil afskakel en niks doen nie. Lekker Kolkol-warmbad vir ontspan en om van die knoppe ontslae te raak.

Switch off and relax.

Very quiet and very secluded, if you just want to switch off and do nothing. Nice Kolkol hot bath for relaxing and getting rid of the lumps.

Verblyf was aangenaam. Dit was lekker om met eie voertuig wild te besigtig.

Voorstel: Ondersoek die moontlikheid om die Kol Kol nader aan die huis te skuif. As weersomstandighede swak is kan die Kol Kol basies nie gebruik word nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Stay was pleasant. It was nice to see wildlife with your own vehicle.

Proposal: Investigate the possibility of moving the Kol Kol closer to home. If the weather conditions are bad, the Kol Kol basically cannot be used.

Baie dankie dat julle die moeite gedoen het om 'n resensie te skryf. Ons waardeer gaste se kommentaar. Die kolkol is daar geplaas om die sterre te waardeer maar ons sal definitief kyk na alternatiewe. Groete

Regte plaasbederf!

Dit was heerlik gewees, knus plaashuis met pragtige uitsig oor die plaas. Ons seuntjie het die elande en springbokke baie geniet. 'n Bonus was die houtvuurwarmbad.

Real farm treat!

It was wonderful, cozy farmhouse with a beautiful view of the farm. Our boy really enjoyed the moose and springbok. A bonus was the wood fire hot tub.

Tranquil surrounds.

The standard of the cottage is superb and well equipped for self-catering and a very comfortable stay. The game drive was an enjoyable experience. The location of the cottage affords one some spectacular views of the landscape and the mountains. However, I would have appreciated some prior information on the check-in process. I do understand the no face-to-face policy, but the radio at the gate was defective and this resulted at a long wait outside as no one answered my calls. Necessary guidelines for our stay were only communicated at 18:00.

JustBe Farm Retreat 's response

Dear Carol,
Firstly my apologies for our poor service on the day of your arrival. I dropped the ball badly. We will remove the radio at entry gate as it is defective. Normally our guests are contacted with check in details a couple of days in advance but unfortunately I didn’t and I apologise again for your long wait for a response.
Secondly thank you so much for your lovely review as we always appreciate feedback on our guests stay.
Take care.
Kind regards
Margaret

This was the most peaceful rejuvenating stays ever!

The views from the cozy cabin were amazing. And the walk around the front of the property! I literally walked 3 km in the same grazing field with zebra, eland, wildebeest and springbok! The drive through the place was absolutely beautiful! If you are looking for a peaceful quite place to rejuvenate alongside nature, this is it!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this beautiful farm.

Our hosts Lillian and Jan went out of their way to accommodate us. We thoroughly enjoyed the additional shower outside and loved the Kolkol hot tub. We also appreciated the complimentary rusks, milk, tea, coffee, sugar and ice. Be sure to try some of their meat products, we are totally in love with the Eland sausage. Be sure to stay at this retreat, it has a beautiful view and it is so peaceful to watch the Eland, horses and other animals. We also spotted an owl on one of our walks. We highly recommend JustBe Farm Retreat.

Voedsel vir die siel.

As jy wil wegbreek van alles af en net wil ontspan, besoek gerus JustBe Farm Retreat. Geriewe is uitstekend en die eienaars vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dis 'n kort stukkie grondpad, so ry verkieslik met 'n voertuig met bietjie grondvryhoogte. Ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier.

Food for the soul.

If you want to get away from it all and just relax, visit JustBe Farm Retreat. Facilities are excellent and the owners friendly and helpful. It's a short stretch of dirt road, so preferably drive with a vehicle with some ground clearance. We will definitely visit again.

Baie meer as wat ons verwag het!

Die cottage op die wildsplaas was 'n belewenis gewees. Baie veilig en alles wat 'n mens nodig het vir 'n rustige wegbreek. Ian het uit sy pad gegaan om ons te help met alles. Die wildrit was 'n groot bonus gewees!

Peace and quiet on a private game farm, get away from it all and see some wildlife within 2 hours from Cape Town.

Very comfortable accommodation, far from the madding crowd. We enjoyed a midweek break and loved our stay, no fuss or fancy mod cons, but it was just as we wanted it.

Thank you, Steve, for the kind review and that you took the time to do it. It is much appreciated. I am glad we could share with you and friends what we experience every day. Regards, Margaret and the JustBe team.

Uitstekende gasvryheid en vriendlikheid in 'n baie ontspanne en stil omgewing.

Van die begin af is ons vriendelik ontvang en baie moeite is gedoen om ons verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Die gratis wildrit was 'n verrassende hoogtepunt.
