Magnificent!
We are still stunned by the absolutely fairytale-like surroundings and the enchanting high mountains that paint the most beautiful background for the beautiful and comfortable wooden houses. Photos do not do the cabins and surroundings justice at all. We can't wait for our next visit.

Private and close to nature.
Neat wooden houses that are well equipped. It is by the dam on the edge of the farm close to the mountains, very beautiful surroundings. Road to unit is better ventured with a 4x4 or bakkie, sloops filled with water too deep for even taller cars. We did have a problem with the hot water and there was no power. The owner was very helpful and helped us. Better bring ice and lights just in case, otherwise we'll definitely be back, lovely!

Als was great outside the fireplace.
The smoke doesn't smoke the way it should with the fireplace, so you can't use it at all. It was still somewhat usable when we put the loose glass in the door, but then the loose glass didn't hold and broke. I was shocked that the things that are a big draw for the cabin are not fixed. If you fix it, I would love to stay there again!

Feel like you are thousands of kilometers away from the city.
Wonderful getaway destination. The unit was clean, and we didn't see any other guests for 2 days! Heavenly. a few small changes can make the experience even better: a rowing boat or canoe for each unit will keep the kids (and adults) occupied for hours, the solar panels can be slightly enlarged to charge the batteries earlier and faster, and the hot water in Kliphout was a problem.

Was very nice. Will go again if the hiking trail is available.
When we arrived at the Cabin the door was locked. I called the number the website sent me. The lady told me that we should check in at the lodge's reception which was a 15 minute drive. At no point did anyone tell me that this had to happen. 45 minutes later we were back at the cabin with the key. We specially booked there to do the walking route to the waterfall. To our dismay, the hiking trail was not accessible. After 100m of walking it stopped and we couldn't walk any further, what a disappointment.

Road to cottages needs an upgrade for normal vehicle use. Yellowwood cottage has a leak where the fireplace goes through the roof. Door of the fireplace doesn't seal 100%. Flush mechanism of the toilet is sometimes faulty and doesn't automatically stop the flush. A row boat per cottage is recommended, and will offer valuable activity and pleasure.

Platbos Cabins are very neat and clean and have everything you need. The tranquility does something for the soul. The scenery is breathtaking. We will definitely be back. Maybe a consideration to change the check-out time especially on Sundays to 12h00. A weekend is too short to fully explore the beautiful place.

Away from everything.
A very pleasant getaway. It really feels like you are far away from everything. We were the only people in the wooden houses, the closer two were empty, it might not be so peaceful when you have neighbours. Sad how empty the pond is. Just take to heart the high wheelbase vehicle that is recommended, the dirt road is not difficult, but not suitable for a low sedan car.

Very peaceful and beautiful between the Slanghoek mountains.
The reception was great, and the house was very clean and tidy. In the evening you can sit on the porch and forget about the world outside, it's a good time to bond with your family again. Although it was summer (beginning of December) there was a nice cool breeze and you feel safe sleeping with your windows open. The climb up the mountain to the waterfall is a bit challenging, but worth it. Thanks, will visit the place again.

The place is amazing. Only problem was that at 10 o'clock in the evening we heard footsteps outside our cottage on the porch and saw flashlights. We called the emergency number they gave us and only the voice mail came up. We didn't close an eye last night and still don't know who it was. It would be good if they get some kind of security measure.

Platbos Log Cabins are great. The location is perfect and the unit itself is "great". The only problem is that there is too little hot water with very little pressure so if you are in a group it becomes a big problem. It's not cheap accommodation, so you feel you would at least want to be clean.
