Fun, relaxing and restful. Our stay was really nice and relaxing. We were not bothered by anyone during our stay. We were visited by some cows who lay under the shade trees. All in all, a very relaxing weekend in a very well equipped cottage!

Great getaway cottage. Great secluded cottage with a break from technology. Big space for kids to play and lots to do in the area.

Loved it, will definitely revisit in the future. The location of the cottage is awesome and very well furnished. All needs are well catered for. Unfortunately, due to the rains, the roads became very bad and without a 4x4 they would not be drivable. Thanks to the hosts who came to our aid and got us in and out. No cell or data signal may be a safety concern should an emergency occur. The web page needs to be more transparent regarding the access roads, electricity, and hot water systems so clients know what to expect. Still a fantastic place to visit if you want to get off the grid and relax.

Tranquil. We loved the location. So peaceful and close enough to where we needed to be for the Oxpecker.

A place to recharge your soul. What an experience it had been. We had a wonderful rest, switched off, and just enjoyed the nature, birds and river! We did have quite a few visitors the first night, from grazing cattle to spiders, snakes and even a bird that couldn't get enough of its own reflection in our little car mirror. Gustav was friendly and very helpful! Next time we will make sure we bring our canine animals which will surely help chase the snakes away and will make sure we bring repellent for the spiders!

'n Plek om jou siel te herlaai. Wat 'n belewenis was dit nie gewees nie. Ons het heerlik gerus, afgeskakel, en net die natuur, voëls en rivier geniet! Ons het wel sommer die eerste aand 'n hele paar besoekers gehad, van beeste wat wei na spinnekoppe, slange en selfs 'n voëltjie wat nie genoeg van sy eie refleksie in ons karspieëltjie kon kry nie. Gustav was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam! Volgende keer maak ons seker ons bring ons hondediere saam wat vir seker sal help om die slange weg te jaag en sal seker maak ons bring repellent saam vir die spinnekoppe!

Recharge your batteries without electronics. Basic cottage without any luxuries. If you like comfort this may not be your ideal place. There is everything you need to stay comfortable. The donkey worked very well. It takes between 30min to 1h for nice boiling hot water. The dirt road to the cottage is quite bad. No cell phone reception, but that was part of why we chose the spot. We had a visit from the green bush snake, but were able to move it back to the bush. It takes about 40 minutes to get to the larger attractions of the Drakensberg.

Herlaai jou batterye sonder elektronika. Basiese huisie sonder enige luukshede. As jy hou van gerief is hierdie dalk nie jou ideale plekkie nie. Daar is wel alles wat mens nodig het om gemaklik te bly. Die donkie het baie goed gewerk. Neem so tussen 30min tot 1h vir lekker kookwarm water. Die grondpad na die huisie is nogal sleg. Geen selfoon opvangs, maar dit was deel van hoekom ons die plekkie gekies het. Ons het besoek gekry van die groen bosslang, maar kon dit terugskuif bos toe. Dit neem sowat 40min om by die groter besienswaardighede van die drakensberge uit te kom.

Relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings. A great relaxing stay, with poor cell phone reception, which is my kind of get away. Beautiful bird life and mesmerizing river.

Very peaceful in nature. To rest and only depend on gas, battery lights and a donkey for hot water. Nothing nearby to go shopping quickly or things that can interrupt one's attention. The river is so calming and the view of the river and all the feelings are beautiful. If one wants to be in nature without any technology or luxuries, the place is really peaceful for one's soul. Yes there are spiders and funny bugs, but that is part of nature.

Baie rustig in die natuur. Om te gaan rus en net afhanklik te wees van gas, battery ligte en 'n donkie vir warm water. Geen niks naby om vinnig te gaan koop of goed wat n mens se aandag kan onderbreek. Die rivier is so kalmerend en die view van die rivier en al die voels is pragtig. As 'n mens in die natuur wil wees sonder enige tegnologie of luxuries is die plek regtig rustig vir 'n mens se siel. Ja daar is spinnekoppe en snaakse goggas, maar dit is deel van die natuur.
