Accommodation with a beautiful view.
Very nice place to stay with a beautiful view of the pond and mountains. Ideal for quiet family relaxation or for gatherings of families or work colleagues. Braai and other facilities such as boat or kayak etc. Secure parking.

Very nice place.
The place is very beautiful. We had a nice time. I just think the owners need to adjust the information on the website, as there was no pool table or arrow board as stated on the website. I also think with such hot weather 1 or 2 splash pools would have helped a lot. Maggie and Henk.

Hi Maggie
Dankie vir jou positiewe resensies van Umshanti.
Dis baie jammer julle het nie die pooltafel en ander games in Drinkgat (die kuier huis) gesien nie.
Hopelik kan julle 'n volgende keer gebruik maak daarvan.
Groete,
Vicky

Bliss in the silence of the beautiful nature that surrounds you.
Umshati is a place to rest, away from the hustle and bustle. The silence that greets you immediately makes you one with the beautiful nature that surrounds you. The water that lies quietly in front of you, framed by the beauty of the mountains! It's just beautiful! The accommodation is everything one needs to be able to experience a comfortable rest. Everything is clean and tidy. The kindness will make you go back again and again to experience even more. We could only stay one day, but we'll be back for sure! Thank you very much!

Accommodation is very well situated but expected better value for money.
The accommodation is perfectly located with so much potential. A few things to look out for though: The wine glasses in the unit were not nearly the same size and only one tall glass instead of two. No privacy from the unit to the right. Just strained but it's not effective - make a wooden partition instead Toilet slamming that can't stay up. Braai area's tree trunks that serve as chairs are very dirty and the rags that were put on them were not much cleaner. I didn't want to sit on it with my clothes because it was greasy and black and clothes would get grease stains. The view and hiking trail were the highlight. However, I was disappointed in the unit itself. Thank you

Comfortable and peaceful atmosphere.
The view is something to experience. Slept well and chatted around the fire. Poor cell phone signal, so maybe a blessing in disguise.

Everything was neat and clean. You can enjoy the lovely view of the dam right from the bed! However, the unit was quite small which made the rate a bit high.

Fantastic calm peacefulness.
The atmosphere is complete peacefulness. Nature and bird life are amazing. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short because of the mountain fires because my husband has stage 4 cancer and it was impossible for us to stay on. We will definitely stay there again if the possibility arises. It would be nice if they could put for example a grater in the kitchen.

Picturesque and peaceful.
A very pleasant place with breathtaking scenery, even if a rain spider scares you every now and then, we will definitely stay there again. The small wooden surface on two kayaks with a small battery powered engine for two people is a must on the Buffeljags dam/river. It is special and very romantic. Thank you very much, Kosie and Vicky.

It is a place like in the old days where families gather and enjoy themselves. Water sports, reading, barbecuing and big fires at night where everyone has a good chat. It was incredibly nice with very friendly staff. We will definitely go again.
