Netjies, ontspannend en wonderlike natuurskoon kamp-area.

Dit was absoluut salig! Ons het tussen die weelderigste bome op 'n heerlike grasperk gekamp. Die uitsig vanaf ons staanplek was na die mooiste watervalletjie en die klank daarvan het ons siele gestreel. Thank you for sharing your paradise with us.

Neat, relaxing and wonderfully scenic camping area.

It was absolutely blissful! We camped among the most luxuriant trees on a lovely lawn. The view from our stand was to the most beautiful waterfall and its sound caressed our souls. Thank you for sharing your paradise with us.

A great place to go to chill out.

The very hospitable and friendly owners gave us clean facilities and a football-sized area to pitch our camp. One gets a remote to the secure entrance gate. The hot water was via a wood-fired donkey. The shared kitchen, dining, and ablutions had water and electricity. There are 4 camping sites with power. It is safe and secluded with a scenic river boundary. There are pleasant walks through the forest and pecan plantations on the farm. We saw blue and grey duiker. The bird life is abundant. We enjoyed Egyptian geese, spoonbill, hadedah, thrush, starling, hammerkop, weaver, and many more. Winterton, with a decent SPAR and fuel stations, is 16 km away (6 km of dirt road). Monks Cowl is about 20 km to the west. There is an abundance of tourist-type activity in the area. The Brewery at the nearby airstrip took my fancy. The days were hot and the nights cool with thunderstorms most nights. Am I going back? A definite yes.

Just what we needed.

A beautiful private site on a pecan farm beside a river. Lovely grassed sites and just enough comfort in the form of shelter, electricity and warm water to make this an ideal camping experience.

We had a good visit.

The water tap in the kitchen needs to be fixed. There is no hot water in the kitchen. The rats at the garbage should be removed. There were at least three rats. Alternatively, the garbage needs to be moved. This would make the stay much more enjoyable.

Dit kon absoluut fantasties gewees het - dit was nie.

Die kothuis se ligging en uitsig is asemrowend. Dit was egter teleurstellend om na 6 ure op die pad by die kothuis te kom en die indruk te kry dat ons onverwagte gaste is. Die yskas was nie aan nie en ons moes wag totdat dit koud is om ons kos te kon uitpak. Die gas vir die gasstoof was nie gekoppel nie; die eienaar het dit kom doen nadat ons laat weet het daar is 'n probleem. Die kothuis was nie skoon nie. Die lieflike uitsig is belemmer deur vuil vensters. Die eetgerei was vuil met ou kos wat nooit behoorlik afgewas is nie. Daar was orals spinnerakke en stof. Ons het na die eerste nag besluit om uit te trek. Die eienaar het, nadat ek fotos gestuur het, verskoning gevra en gereël vir 'n terugbetaling vir die ander twee nagte.

It could have been absolutely fantastic - it wasn't.

The cottage's location and view are breathtaking. However, it was disappointing to arrive at the cottage after 6 hours on the road and get the impression that we were unexpected guests. The fridge was not on and we had to wait until it was cold to be able to unpack our food. The gas for the gas stove was not connected; the owner came to do it after we let them know there was a problem. The cottage was not clean. The lovely view was obstructed by dirty windows. The cutlery was dirty with old food that was never properly washed. There were cobwebs and dust everywhere. We decided to move out after the first night. The owner, after I sent photos, apologized and arranged for a refund for the other two nights.
