Beautiful accommodation that offers peace for the soul! A special special hidden diamond. We had a great stay, swam, hiked and will definitely go again. The owner was very helpful and friendly. The accommodation was neat, clean and furnished with all necessities. The surroundings are picturesque and we returned rested. The dirt road is well maintained and the farm is easily accessible in any car.

Pragtige akkommodasie wat vrede vir die siel bied! 'n Besonderse spesiale versteekte diamant. Ons het heerlik gebly, geswem, gestap en sal beslis weer gaan. Die eienaar was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Die verblyf was netjies, skoon en ingerig met alle benodighede. Die omgewing is beeldskoon en ons het uitgerus teruggekeer. Die grondpad word goed versorg en die plaas is maklik bereikbaar in enige motor.

Quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed the remoteness of the accommodation, with the lovely walls and beautiful sunset.

Hidden gem of the Klein-Karoo. What a treat! The owners answered all our questions patiently and went out of their way to accommodate us. We had a great time with family around the fire. My boy enjoyed himself with the animals and pedal bikes in the yard. It's definitely worth the effort to walk to the waterfall, it's a steep walk, but we did it with a 2 year old, plan about 2 to 3 hours for the trip. The house is very comfortable and the view is beautiful. We also enjoyed the "hot tub", the water is wonderfully warm and the view over the pond and mountains is idyllic. Swartberg Backpackers is also available for day visitors, so if anyone is in the mood, the waterfall walk is definitely a must!

Verskuilde juweel van die Klein-Karoo. Wat 'n bederf! Die eienaars het al ons vrae geduldig geantwoord en uit hul pad gegaan ons te akkommodeer. Ons het heerlik gekuier saam met familie om die vuur gekuier. My seuntjie het homself gate uit geniet met die diere en trapfietse op die erf. Dis vir seker die moeite werd om waterval toe te stap, dit is 'n stewige stappie, maar ons het dit gedoen met 'n 2 jarige, beplan so 2 tot 3 ure vir die uitstappie. Die huis is baie gerieflik en die uitsig is pragtig. Ons het ook die "hot tub" geniet, die water is heerlik warm en die uitsig oor die dam en berge is idillies. Swartberg Backpackers is ook beskikbaar vir dagbesoekers, so indien iemand in die ongewing is, is die waterval stappie vir seker 'n moet!

Amazing farm stay in the Swartberg - lovely host and stunning scenery and hike. Was amazing - such a beautiful place - we walked to the waterfall and swam in the pools. The hot tub was a bonus and we spent every evening in it. Real farm experience and such a peaceful environment. The best host ever - we will be back there.

The people were very friendly, but the place was very dirty outside. The place is in a very nice place, but the mop and broom were hanging over the wires. Stuff was lying around everywhere and electrical wires were hanging around. It was a big disappointment for us. The photos and the place are not the same. The host was very friendly. I don't know how you can put five stars next to this place.

Die mense was baie vriendelik, maar die plek was baie onnet buite. Die plek is op 'n baie mooi plek, maar die mop en besem het oor die drade gehang. Oral het goed rondgelê en elektriese drade het rondgehang. Dit was vir ons 'n groot teleurstelling. Die foto's en die plek is nie dieselfde nie. Die gasheer was baie vriendelik. Ek weet nie hoe julle vyf sterre langs hierdie plek kan sit nie.

Thank you very much for the feedback Jackie. We are very sorry that our farm experience accommodation was a disappointment for you. We are very proud of what we offer our guests and that many of them like to come back again. The mop and broom are kept outside for easy use if needed and to keep them dry, but we will change that. We do not have electricity, only solar power (12V) which is very safe. We will look at how we can improve the wiring so future guests can have a great experience. Thanks again.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer Jackie. Ons is baie jammer dat ons plaas-ervaring akkommodasie vir julle 'n teleurstelling was. Ons is baie trots op wat ons, ons gaste bied en dat baie van hulle graag weer terugkom. Die mop en besem word buite gehou vir maklike gebruik indien nodig en sodat dit droog bly, maar ons sal dit verander. Ons het nie elektrisiteit nie, slegs solarkrag (12V) wat baie veilig is. Ons sal kyk hoe ons die bedrading kan verbeter sodat toekomstige gaste 'n wonderlike ervaring kan hê. Weereens dankie.

Was delicious, but just too short! It was absolutely so much fun at Swartberg Backpackers. The silence, the breathtaking, fantastic scenic view and stars left us in awe. Our visit was just too short. The host, hostess and children were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was neat, clean and comfortable. Value for money. Will definitely go back again to explore hiking trails further. Thank you Louis and Yolande.

Was heerlik, maar net te kort! Dit was absoluut so lekker by Swartberg Backpackers. Die stilte, die asemrowende, fantastiese natuurskone uitsig en sterre het ons in verwondering gelaat. Ons kuiertjie was net te kort. Die gasheer, gasvrou en kinders was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die akkommodasie was keurig, skoon en gerieflik. Waarde vir geld. Sal voorwaar weer teruggaan om staproetes verder te verken. Dankie Louis en Yolande.

Beautiful scenery! Many thanks to Louis and his family for a wonderful experience. The 4-person chalet is comfortably furnished, with everything you need. A private braai area with a stoep is outside the chalet and overlooks the farm and plain, relaxing after a long day on the road. The walk to the waterfall was very nice! Children enjoy the farm setting! We will definitely stop by again.

Pragtige natuurskoon! Baie dankie aan Louis en sy gesin vir 'n wonderlike ervaring. Die 4-plek-chalet is gerieflik ingerig, met als wat nodig is. 'n Privaat braaiplek met 'n stoepie is buite die chalet en kyk oor die plaas en vlakte uit, ontspannend na 'n lang dag op die pad. Die stap na die waterval was baie lekker! Kinders geniet die plaasopset! Ons sal beslis weer kom inloer.

Experience. What a lovely, breathtaking, peaceful stay. Nice walk to the waterfall and swam in the pond. The people are heart people! We stayed in the apartment and it was far more than expected. Don't let the name backpackers put you off, there is much more than meets the eye. Thank you very much for your kindness and beautiful guitar playing and singing from the eldest son. We will remember the place for sure.

Belewenis. Wat 'n heerlike, asemrowende, rustige verblyf. Lekker gaan stap na die waterval en geswem in die dam. Die mense is hartsmense! Ons het in die woonstel gebly en dit was ver bo verwagting. Moenie dat die naam backpackers jou afskrik nie, daar is veel meer as wat nodig is. Baie dankie vir jul vriendelikheid en mooi kitaarspel en sang van die oudste seun. Ons sal die plek verseker onthou.

Central accommodation in a spectacular area. Louis and his family gave us a friendly welcome. This is the place to get away from a demanding life, charge batteries and be close to nature (but without any distractions). Great variety of day trips in the beautiful area!

Sentrale verblyf in 'n uitsonderlike omgewing. Louis de Jager en sy gesin het ons baie gasvry ontvang. Dit is dié plek om weg te kom van 'n veeleisende lewe, batterye te laai en naby die natuur te wees (maar sonder enige ontberings). Groot verskeidenheid daguitstappies in die pragtige omgewing!
