An off the grid paradise. The cottage was comfortable and very well appointed. Attention to details was excellent, from comprehensive and easy to understand directions, to the supply of tubes for swimming in the river and ample firewood. Access to the farm is on good dirt roads which are manageable with a normal sedan car.

Quiet family getaway with the most beautiful scenery. What a lovely few days of rest together with fun and adventure between mountains and fruit orchards. The cottage is equipped with everything you need and the fireplace makes the unit wonderfully warm in the cool evenings. Furthermore, the hot KolKol pool is the best place to float in with a drink while the sun sets over the cliffs. Activities abound for young and old - cycling and jogging without limits, sausage grilling by the pond and even frolicking in the river with inner tubes. Even our woof enjoyed herself! We will definitely visit Visgat farm again, especially when summer comes to see the plates of spring blossoms. Thank you for an unforgettable break.

Rusitge gesinswegbreek met die mooiste natuurskoon. Wat 'n heerlike paar dae van rus tesame met pret en avontuur tussen berge en vrugteboorde. Die kothuis is toegerus met als wat nodig is en die kaggel maak die eenheid heerlik warm in die koel aande. Verder is die warm KolKol-poel die lekkerste om in te dobber met 'n drankie terwyl die son oor die kranse sak. Aktiwiteite is volop vir jonk en oud - fietsry en draf sonder perke, worsie braai by die dam en selfs met binnebande baljaar in die rivier. Selfs ons woef het haarself geniet! Ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier by Visgat-plaas, veral as die somer aanbreek om die plate lentebloeisels te sien. Dankie vir 'n onvergeetlike wegbreek.

Relaxing of the grid weekend away. Cottage is perfectly perched to overlook the valley. Uninterrupted view from the hot tub and private swimming hole in the river. Children loved the loft area, especially as it is only accessible via ladder so mom could not go up and check on them. We will definitely be back.

Lovely, secluded location. However, requires maintenance i.e. dripping tap in kitchen, kitchen sink looks disgusting. Counter tops require attention, crockery cracked, pots no longer non-stick and burnt on the bottom, kettle needs replacing. Maintenance required on windows i.e. catches, double doors at entrance, toilet in shower area not secured in concrete.

There was no one to provide information about our stay, the key was left outside in the door. Nowhere on River Cottage's website is it mentioned that there is no syn in the area. I booked with my whole family for the week, R9000 is not R900, the power was off from the early hours of Wednesday 21 July 2021 all day and night, luckily we drove into Ceres' town and then had to light candles buy, the power didn't come on until Thursday morning at 11h00. I feel only the right information should be provided to people who are interested in inhabiting the place.

Daar was niemand wat inligting verskaf het omtrent ons verblyf nie, die sleutel was buite in die deur gelaat. Nêrens op River Cottage se webblad word dit genoem dat daar geen syn in die area is nie. Ek het met my hele gesin vir die week bespreek, R9000 is nie R900 nie, die krag was van die vroeë oggendure van Woensdag 21 Julie 2021 die hele dag en nag deur af, gelukkig het ons in na Ceres se dorp gery en moes toe kerse koop, die krag het eers die Donderdagoggend by 11h00 aangeskakel. Ek voel net die regte moet inligting verskaf word aan mense wat belangstel om die plek te bewoon.

Beautiful scenery. We had a great stay at the River Cottage. The natural beauty and seclusion make it a particularly attractive destination.

Pragtige natuurskoon. Ons het baie lekker by die River Cottage gebly. Die natuurskoon en afgesonderdheid maak dit 'n besonderse aanloklike bestemming.
