Had a wonderful stay.
We were very comfortable and cozy. The place is securely fenced and our dog was with us. The forest cottage's unique character and view of the Botrivier upstream had us in raptures.

Could be better screening about the premises.
If I had known that Rivendale was not standing alone I would not have discussed it. Because I work overnight, I sleep late in the morning, but was woken up in the early morning by people talking and washing dishes or doing laundry ect. The walls are really thin and you can hear everything. It is at the main house of the farm and therefore not really private. . Other than that, it was delicious, the dogs enjoyed it and the stars in the evening were amazing.

A fairytale experience.
Underhill had tremendous storm damage. Despite that, a lot of effort was made to accommodate us. It is understandable that the place was therefore not exactly according to the photos. However, it is still playful and cute, which compliments the beautiful nature. The bedding is clean and of high quality. Our stay at Underhill coincided with the rugby world cup final. To accommodate everyone, our host, Julian, invited all the guests to watch the final broadcast together, so that the internet 'streaming' does not let anyone down.

Stunning, hidden gem.
We arrived at Underhill on the farm and were dumbfounded by the nicely hidden cottage. It kind of reminded us of Harry Potter. The accommodation is next to a running water stream with an outdoor shower and swimming pool. There was also no load shedding. In one word; magical!

Cozy and comfortable against the poplar forest.
A Hansie and Gretel cottage with luxurious amenities from a spacious hot shower, to soft bed and bedding, sufficient crockery and cutlery. The location on the stream bed against the poplar forest enchants. We come back for the Jacuzzi and private lapa in the poplar forest. This time, the crackling dust turned a cold winter weekend into a family fairy tale with many more chapters. Remember braai wood, the fireplace wood is good for braai.

Quiet, relaxing, recharging.
The home with its lovely patio has a good balance of rustic, comfort and quality. The master bedroom with its double exterior doors that open into the bush makes you feel as though you are sleeping in the bush! It is very central to a trip to the beautiful Elgin/Grabouw and Bot River areas, where we went to taste wine and eat. I can also imagine myself relaxing on the leather couches in front of the fireplace on winter evenings.

Captured a piece of Heaven!
UnderHill FarmHouse was so peaceful and the master bedroom overlooking the river was heavenly, we had such a great time relaxing and will definitely be visiting again. The children had fun swimming in the pond and feeding the horses. All I can complain about is the disappointment of the kids when we got there and the splash pool didn't have water in it. We always discuss where there is a swimming pool because the children love to swim, cold or hot they are always in a pool. And especially at the weekend it was very hot so we looked forward to cooling off in the splash pool. But other than that it was really, really fun.

It is definitely not five-star accommodation, but for people who love nature, it is a lovely experience!
The last mile or so to the whereabouts the road is not suitable for cars running flat on the ground. The accommodation was excellent for people who are accustomed to camping or not luxury accommodation. It is clean, has a nice pool and is nice private. there is a hiking trail and the place is surrounded by beautiful trees.
