Beautiful, warm environment. The house was beautiful, and the location was amazing. My friends and family loved every minute of it.

A must stay! The stay was absolutely incredible! The views were unbelievable, and the house was fully stocked and clean. The property was beautiful, with so much to do just at the house.

Beautiful house with lots of space. We booked both houses, Windmill and Ridge Road Country House, as we are a family of 16 that celebrate Christmas in July annually. We found that Ridge Road could comfortably accommodate us with enough cutlery, etc. I always find it helpful to find out more about the rooms. The main house is on multiple floors and is not suitable for crawling children or children who cannot swim. It is also not suitable for wheelchairs or crutches (that was me one year, thankfully all healed now), or a person finding stairs a challenge, like my Gran. The wall panel heater didn’t do much to warm the room. Room 1 is on the same level as the kitchen and best suited for an older person, avoiding too many stairs or steep stairs, as this house does have many. It has a walk-in shower and a king bed that can be made into two singles. My Gran slept here. I would recommend packing an extra little heater as this room is chilly. All the beds do have electric blankets and some have the wall panel heaters, but I didn’t feel they did much to warm the rooms. Room 2 is in a basement with its own door to the patio area. It also has its own small bathroom (shower) and can be made into singles or a king. This room can also be cold. Upstairs, Room 3 has the most amazing view and sun, with an en suite bathroom (bath only). Room 4 and 5 also have beautiful views and share a bathroom (shower only). Both rooms can be made into singles or king beds. Room 6 is like a small cottage with its own fireplace. It includes a bathroom, sunroom, shower (steam shower - not working at the time), and bath, and patio. It is also easier to carry any heavy luggage to the second floor through Room 6 as it has access to the parking area. Pack wood or buy in town, as wood is not available to purchase on site. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. I do have a suggestion for the host/manager, that he be available 24 hours on WhatsApp for emergencies, as the number given is not his and is only available during the gallery times (where you fetch the key). We did eventually get the host's number, and he is also not on WhatsApp.

Great getaway to unwind. Clarens, a quaint town 3.5 hours from JHB. Very quiet and tranquil.

Loved it. My kids and I loved the Windmill house. It provided us with an excellent location to relax and the perfect distance from everything to feel secluded, yet convenient. The style of the cottage lets you experience the Free State, with wonderful well-thought-out touches.

Breathtaking! What a beautiful place! Coming from the concrete jungle, this was the best place for us to come and unwind. The views were stunning, the place was tranquil, and it has absolutely everything you need for a great time. They will definitely see us again.
