A little piece of heaven in the middle of nowhere. Our stay at this place was an absolute dream! Not only were the kitchen utensils beautiful, but the outdoor setting was equally enchanting. The kitchen tools have added a touch of sophistication to our culinary pursuits, from cooking to table setting. Each piece was thoughtfully composed, elevating our dining experience to new heights. Furthermore, the exterior of the accommodation was simply beautiful. Whether we were enjoying morning coffee on the porch or relaxing with a glass of wine in the garden, the outdoor setting provided a peaceful retreat. Surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful scenery, we felt totally at peace. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Will definitely want to come again when the weather comes. Hope the weather will be better and we can make full use of the outside area. It's even more beautiful than the photos. Pippa thought of everything. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury stay with a focus on both culinary excellence and natural beauty and it's doggy-friendly on top of that. Thank you very much.

Ons verblyf by hierdie plek was 'n absolute droom! Nie net was die kombuisgereedskap pragtig nie, maar die buite-omgewing was ewe betowerend. Die kombuisgereedskap het 'n tikkie van verfyning bygevoeg tot ons kulinêre strewe, van kook tot tafelopstelling. Elke stuk was deurdagtelik saamgestel, wat ons eetervaring na nuwe hoogtes gehef het. Verder was die buitekant van die verblyf eenvoudig pragtig. Of ons nou oggendkoffie op die stoep geniet het of ontspan het met 'n glas wyn in die tuin, het die buite-omgewing 'n rustige toevlug gebied. Omring deur weelderige groen en pragtige natuurskoon, het ons totaal en al vrede gevoel. Algeheel het hierdie verblyf ons verwagtinge in elke opsig oortref. Sal definitief weer wil kom as die weer kom. Hoop dat die weer beter sal wees en ons die buite-area ten volle kan benut. Dis nog mooier as die foto's. Pippa het aan alles gedink. Ons beveel dit sterk aan vir enigeen wat 'n luukse verblyf soek met 'n fokus op beide kulinêre uitnemendheid en natuurlike skoonheid en dis nog boonop "doggy-friendly". Vreeslik dankie.

The house was beautiful and spacious. We had a very happy weekend with the whole family. Unfortunately, the weather was cold and wet, but the hosts provided generous firewood, so we were warm and cozy.

So glad you enjoyed it. We like to make sure there’s lots of firewood for cold weekends. As well as hot water bottles, hot blankets &, extra heaters.

So bly jy het dit geniet. Ons wil graag seker maak daar is baie vuurmaakhout vir koue naweke. Sowel as warmwaterbottels, warm komberse &, ekstra verwarmers.

Plaspool is wonderful on the hot days. House layout lovely for a nice visit. Lovely place to visit for all seasons. Follow the sun and sit on the back porch or in various other areas in the garden.

Plaspoel is heerlik op die warm dae. Huis uitleg lieflik vir lekke kuier. Lieflike kuierplek vir alle seisoene. Volg die son en sit op die agterstoep of op verskillende ander areas in die tuin.

Loved having you enjoy our special hideaway! Come back and visit in winter! It's very cosy.

Ek was mal daaroor dat jy ons spesiale wegkruipplek geniet het! Kom terug en kuier in die winter! Dis baie gesellig.

Relaxing family stay. Enjoyed the outdoor area immensely, well furnished outside, with different areas for varying moods and needs. Nice bar area with darts board. Large lounge and dining area and plenty of heating facilities for cold days. We had very hot weather and battled with the only cooling being one ceiling fan in the main room. Lots of fridges, well appointed with coffee machine, washer, dishwasher, games, books, linen, etc. Did miss a braai bak or similar though. Pool has no steps within the pool itself to get out; you need to use a lot of upper body strength to get out, so it would be very dangerous for pets/young children falling in. We struggled with insects, but probably due to the hot weather. There are really only 2 proper bedrooms; the other 2 consist of an open loft area with hectic steps, and a makeshift room formed by a bookshelf and room divider. We found the adjacent boutique hotel quite noisy, as their driveway/parking/entrance borders the garden with a thin mesh fence between. There is no alarm on the house, but the area seemed safe. WiFi was excellent. The caretaker was quite grumpy, arrived late for check-in, and arrived early on check-out day unannounced to "fetch some things" within the house, quite an invasion of our privacy. Further, whilst we were checking out, she was cleaning up behind us, which was very uncomfortable. But we were allowed a late check-out, which was fabulous.

Calm and quiet. Quiet and peaceful location. Really enjoyed the pool. The places were not ready when we arrived and there were a few places and items that were not clean but the owner explained that there was not enough time to clean before our arrival because the previous people had that morning leave first. They refunded us a day's rate discount to make up. The fridge didn't work and we had to throw R 600 worth of meat away, but the owner immediately had a new fridge delivered. It had to do with the eternal loadshedding. Well furnished except for the fact that there is only one large pot and one very small pot so cooking Christmas dinner was a challenge. I also had to buy my own sharp knives because the knives that were there were blunt. Otherwise very nice and we would recommend it. Our dogs were also welcome and they enjoyed it.

Rustig en stil. Stil en rustige ligging. Het die swembad baie geniet. Die plekke was nie reg toe ons aankom nie en daar was ' n paar plekkies en items wat nie skoon was nie maar die eienaar het verduidelik dat daar nie genoeg tyd was om skoon te maak voor ons koms nie, want die vorige mense het daardie oggend eers vertrek. Hulle het ons 'n dag se tarief afslag terugbetaal om op te maak. Die yskas het nie gewerk nie en ons het R 600 se vleis moes weggooi, maar die eienaar het dadelik 'n nuwe yskas laat aflewer. Dit het met die ewige loadshedding te doen gehad. Goed ingerig behalwe vir die feit dat daar net een groot pot en een baie klein pot is so Kersete kook was 'n challenge. Ek moes ook my eie skerp messe koop, want die messe wat daar was, was stomp. Andersins baie nice en ons sal die aanbeveel. Ons hondjies was ook welkom en hulle het dit geniet.

Thank you for your kind words Amanda and your understanding over the issues you had. We underestimated the turnaround time which is why the place was not ready for your check-in time. Sincere apologies for that. We have now changed our policy and will always leave a full day and a half between bookings for turnaround. Yes, the fridge blew because of repeated load shedding power surges. So glad we managed to have a new fridge delivered later that morning. Look forward to welcoming you back and thanks for your constructive feedback.

Dankie vir jou vriendelike woorde Amanda en jou begrip oor die probleme wat jy gehad het. Ons het die omkeertyd onderskat en daarom was die plek nie gereed vir jou inkloktyd nie. Opregte verskoning daarvoor. Ons het nou ons beleid verander en sal altyd 'n volle dag en 'n half laat tussen besprekings vir omdraai. Ja, die yskas het geblaas as gevolg van herhaalde kragstuwings van beurtkrag. So bly ons het dit reggekry om later die oggend 'n nuwe yskas af te lewer. Sien uit daarna om jou terug te verwelkom en dankie vir jou konstruktiewe terugvoer.

Great house with all the little extras included. The house could do with a very good deep spring clean and the beds being upgraded, they are very uncomfortable.

Thank you so much for the feedback Kerry. Glad you loved the house. Sorry to hear the cleaning wasn’t up to your standard. Maria usually makes sure the house is spotless. Also sorry to hear about the beds. I will look into this.

Tranquility, quiet, comfortable, convenient. It is a very nice place where you can rest and relax, nice facilities such as dishwasher, nice garden, nice place to hang out inside and outside. Will definitely go again.

Rustigheid, stil, gemaklik, gerieflik. Dit is 'n baie lekker plek waar mens kan rus en ontspan, lekker geriewe soos skottelgoedwasser, mooi tuin, lekker kuierplek binne en buite. Sal definitief weer gaan.
