Delicious! It was lovely - we were upgraded to the bigger house because the Troutways Private Retreat's fridge wasn't working - it was a nice surprise! Delicious barbecue under roof and beautiful view of the mountains and dam.

Heerlik! Dit was heerlik - ons is opgegradeer na die groter huis omdat die Troutways Private Retreat se yskas nie gewerk het nie - dit was 'n lekker verrassing! Heerlike braai onder dak en pragtige uitsig op die berge en dam.

Practical, well thought out accommodation. Host is professional, wonderful views. The accommodation at Troutways is so practical. There is wood for the braai, pet friendly, the host is wonderful. The boere seep is wonderful. All the kitchen utensils that you would need are available. We enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable accommodation with a nice view on a farm. Had a wonderful stay. Access road a bit rough dirt road, but only about 500m.

Gerieflike verblyf met mooi uitsig op 'n plaas. Heerlik gebly. Toegangspad bietjie rowwe grondpad, maar net so 500m.

Quiet, peaceful, relaxing, with everything one needs. We had a lovely stay at Troutways. The unit has everything needed for a relaxing visit, and was particularly neat and clean. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, dead quiet (you only hear the birds) and there is plenty of walking space (and a mountain to climb). We didn't get to everything, but will go again to tackle the mountain. The dirt road to Troutways is good and you can really drive there with any car. Highly recommended!

Stil, rustig, ontspannend, met alles wat mens nodig het. Ons het heerlik oorgebly by Troutways. Die eenheid het alles wat nodig is vir 'n ontspanne kuier, en was besonder netjies en skoon. Die omgewing is pragtig en rustig, doodstil (mens hoor net die voëltjies) en daar is baie stapplek (en 'n berg om te klim). Ons het nie by alles uitgekom nie, maar sal weer gaan om die berg aan te pak. Die grondpad na Troutways is goed en mens kan regtig met enige kar soontoe ry. Hoogs aanbeveel!

Kids loved it there - we enjoyed it there and will go again. Very nice, everything you need.

Kinders het dit gelief daar - ons het dit geniet daar en sal weer gaan. Baie lekker, alles wat jy nodig het.

It is not often we get accommodation where the host is so helpful from before your stay. Hein and his staff have exceeded our expectations of hosting! From the word go, he was helpful and accommodating! Fishing was great and the space is spectacular. Waterval Boven itself is run down, but there is so much more to see around the area! Thank you Troutways for having us!

Very peaceful place with a nice view. No reception or WiFi. The log house needs some attention. Not really much for kids to do, and there aren't designated hiking trails. The view is very beautiful. It is a peaceful environment. The log house doesn't even have a lock to lock the door in the evening, just a latch. Otherwise we had a very nice stay.

Baie rustige plek met mooi uitsig. Geen ontvangs of WiFi. Die houthuis kort bietjie aandag. Nie regtig baie vir kinders om te doen nie, en daar is nie uitgewysde staproetes nie. Die uitsig is baie mooi. Dit is 'n rustige omgewing. Die houthuis het nie eens 'n slot om die deur in die aand toe te sluit nie, net 'n hakkie. Andersins het ons baie lekker gebly.

Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback, Lizette. I'm not sure why we're being judged on cell reception, but we appreciate the criticism. We sleep with open doors and windows here and don't always realize how other people's perceptions of security affect us.

Baie dankie vir die wonderlike terugvoering, Lizette. Ek is nie seker hoekom ons beoordeel word oor sel ontvangs nie, maar ons waardeer die kritiek. Ons slaap met oop deure en vensters hier en besef nie altyd hoe ander mense se persepsies van sekuriteit ons beïnvloed nie.

Restful. On arrival the owner was unable to confirm our booking and had to drive to town for a signal to make sure the unit we booked was available due to the absence of cell phone reception on the farm. It made one feel embarrassed and uncomfortable as we had to explain who we booked through and when. The reservation had been made months before. The unit we stayed in was a spacious house with a large veranda and a beautiful view of a pond and mountains, but lacks attention especially to the kitchen sink and the braai on the veranda which leaks when it rains. There was no cleaning service for the 5 days we were there, nor was provision made for a mop, extra toilet paper, garbage bags, or cleaning supplies, except for a little Sunlight Liquid. We had to spray and clean the porch ourselves with a garden hose and broom. I do not recommend a low vehicle to visit the institution, especially if it is raining. It is pet friendly, but make sure your animals are treated for ticks before you go. I recommend the stay because the place is right by the Homestead and has a view of a farmyard. Also take enough fly spray with you.

Rustig. Met aankoms kon die eienaar nie ons bespreking bevestig nie en moes dorp toe ry vir 'n sein om seker te maak dat die eenheid wat ons bespreek het, beskikbaar was, weens die afwesigheid van selfoonopvangs op die plaas. Dit het 'n mens verleë en ongemaklik laat voel omdat ons moes verduidelik deur wie ons bespreek het en wanneer. Die bespreking was al maande vantevore gemaak. Die eenheid waarin ons gebly het, was 'n ruim huis met 'n groot stoep en 'n pragtige uitsig oor 'n dam en berge, maar kort aandag veral aan die kombuiswasbak en die braai op die stoep wat lek as dit reën. Daar was geen skoonmaakdiens vir die 5 dae wat ons daar was nie, en daar was ook nie voorsiening gemaak vir 'n mop, ekstra toiletpapier, vuilgoedsakke, of skoonmaakmiddels nie, behalwe 'n bietjie Sunlight Liquid nie. Ons moes die stoep self afspuit en skoonmaak met 'n tuinslang en besem. Ek beveel nie aan dat 'n lae voertuig die instansie besoek nie, veral as dit reën nie. Dit is troeteldiervriendelik, maar sorg dat jou diere behandel word vir bosluise voor jy gaan. Ek beveel die verblyf aan omdat die plek reg by die Homestead is en 'n uitsig oor 'n plaaswerf het. Neem ook genoeg spuitgoed vir vlieë saam.
