Rest, woodland, stunning, slept well. From our arrival to where we sadly had to leave the place, we experienced the incredible peace of the forest. Owners welcomed us with so much hospitality. We spent incredibly nice time with friends around the bushveld fire and the terribly beautiful wildlife on the farm. House was incredibly clean, everything was just perfect, hot shower and bath, had power all weekend and that alone was a big plus. We just want to say thank you for everything and that you will definitely see us again.

Rus, bosveld, awsemrowend, lekker geslaap. Van ons aankoms tot waar ons met 'n hartseer die plekkie moes verlaat, het ons die ongelooflike rus ervaar van die bosveld. Eienaars het ons met soveel gasvryheid verwelkom. Ons het ongelooflike lekker tyd saam vriende spandeer om die bosveld vuurtjie en die verskriklike mooi wild op die plaas. Huisie was ongelooflik mooi skoon, alles was net perfek gewees, warm gestort en bad, heel naweek krag gehad en dit alleen was 'n groot pluspunt. Ons wil net dankie sê vir alles en dat julle ons definitief weer sal sien.

The house is just everything, Annie and her husband gave us the perfect service ever. The house was so clean and it's fully furnished, you just bring your own food, the main bedroom views it's to die for. We definitely going back for our next stay. Perfect, perfect, perfect. Amazing

Nice and quiet. The place is very nice and quiet, especially if you want to disconnect from the world and have family time. The place is off the grid, which makes it nicer, but for us, we were not happy regarding the off-grid system because for about 2-3 days the weather was not in our favour (it was cloudy, no sun to charge the solar panels); therefore, we didn't have much power and had to request rechargeable lights for the nights. I would suggest to the owners to at least use the current system (solar) as backup, not as the main source of power, just in case of rainy and cloudy days. The owners are such lovely people, and they would check on us every now and then, really lovely people. Our daughter loved the place and didn't want us to leave.

Dissatisfied. They depend on a solar power system and have no power backup if solar power levels drop at night, then we're left in the dark. The pool was not cleaned on arrival.

Thank you very much for the review. It also helps us to improve as we can. We see this as positive. On the day you arrived at the Sunset House, a very large part of our farm burned down, including property. We have made you aware that there is a lot of dust and soot due to the strong winds. The unit including the Pool was serviced so that it is ready by 2:00pm check-in time. You didn't clock in until much later and your group leaders weren't on the premises until sundown. So there was still a lot of wind blowing and it is possible that leaves fell into the Pool. Saturday morning the pool was serviced again. On our reservation page on the website it is clearly stated that the Sunset House does depend on a solar power system. It was well explained to the first persons of the group how the solar power system works to ensure that electricity can be used sufficiently. I also dropped in on the Saturday morning to meet the group leader and also show him and explain how the power system should be used. The solar system can comfortably go without sun for 1.5 days without problems. Upon check-in it was at 100% full. I explained to you on Saturday morning that you should check at 15:00 that if the power is below 80% you may need to switch off the geyser and use the devices that use a lot of power more sparingly. You agreed to do it this way, but by 15:00 Saturday afternoon you had not done so. I stopped by at 18:00 to check if they had turned off the geyser at 15:00, then I saw that the power system was at 35%. There was plenty of sun throughout the day to fully charge the system in 2.5 hours. I assured them that if you are not going to be frugal with the power that you will be without power for part of the evening. I offered to bring in reinforcements but you declined. I was surprised to see how quickly you used up the electricity. It has never been a problem before. We did offer to move guests to one of our other units, but guests declined. Thank you very much.

Baie dankie vir die resensie. Dit help ons ook om te verbeter soos ons kan. Ons sien dit as positief. Op die dag wat julle gearriveer het by die Sunset Huis, het ‘n baie groot deel van ons plaas af gebrand, insluitend eiendom. Ons het julle bewus gemaak daarvan dat daar baie stof en roet is agv die sterk winde was. Die eenheid insluitend die Swembad was gediens sodat dit reg is teen 14:00 met inklok tyd. Julle het wel eers baie later in geklok en julle groep leiere was eers teen son onder op die perseel. Dus het daar baie wind steeds gewaai en is dit moontlik dat blare in die Swembad geval het. Saterdag oggend is die swembad weer gediens. Op ons bespreking blad op die webtuiste staan daar duidelik dat die Sunset Huis wel afhanklik is van ‘n son krag sisteem. Daar is vir die eerste persone van die groep mooi verduidelik hoe die sonkrag stelsel werk om te voorsien dat elektriesiteit voldoende benut kan word. Ek het ook die Saterdag oggend in geloer om die groep leier te ontmoet en hom ook te wys en verduidelik hoe die krag sisteem benut moet word. Die sonkrag sisteem kan sonder son gemaklik vir 1.5 dae gaan sonder probleme. Met inklok was dit op 100% vol. Ek het vir julle Saterdag oggend verduidelik dat julle 15:00 moet kyk dat as die krag onder 80% is julle dalk die geyser moet af skakel en die toestelle wat baie krag gebruik meer spaarsamig moet gebruik. Julle het in gestem om dit so te doen maar teen 15:00 Saterdag middag het julle nie so gedoen nie. Ek het gaan inloer on 18:00 om seker te maak of hulle wel die geyser 15:00 af geskakel het, toe sien ek dat die krag sisteem op 35% is. Daar was baie son deur die dag om die sisteem binne 2.5ure vol te laai. Ek het hulle vergewis dat as julle nie spaarsamig gaan wees met die krag nie dat julle ‘n deel van die aand sonder krag gaan wees. Ek het aangebied om versterking in te bring maar julle het dit van die hand gewys. Ek was verbaas om te sien hoe vinnig jul die elektriesieteit opgebruik het. Dit was nog nooit ‘n probleem van tevore nie. Ons het wel aangebied om gaste te skuif na een van ons ander eenhede, maar gaste het dit van die hand gewys. Baie dankie.

This is a very nice getaway, away from technology and good rest. This place is well equipped with everything you need. On solar power and no signal. Perfect for a peaceful getaway. Good host and very nice game drive received for free.

Hierdie is 'n baie lekker wegbreekplek, weg van tegnologie en lekker rus. Hierdie plek is goed toegerus met als wat jy nodig het. Op sonkrag en geen sein. Perfek vir 'n rustige wegbreek. Goeie host en baie lekker wildrit gratis ontvang.

A beautiful place to stay, we were welcomed by an ostrich and the giraffes were walking close to our windows. The place is run by solar panels and it can be a struggle if there is no sun at all. But the house is well equipped with all you need.
