Home from home. The staff enjoyed it immensely.

Tuis van die huis. Die personeel het dit vreeslik geniet.

Feel free to do so. Beautiful view. Excellently appointed. Thank you very much, our expectations were exceeded. Stay was fantastic and house is nicely furnished. Dirt road is a bit longer than expected, unfortunately we lost a tire due to stones, road not recommended for normal vehicles in rainy season.

Heerlik gerus. Pragtige uitsig. Uitstekend ingerig. Baie dankie ons verwagtinge is oortref. Verblyf was fantasties en huis is keurig ingerig. Grondpad is bietjie langer as verwag, ons het ongelukkig 'n band verloor a.g.v. klippe, pad nie aan te beveel vir gewone voertuie in reënseisoen nie.

A Scenic and Relaxing Getaway with Room for Improvement. We recently stayed at Unit 14 at Doornkop Fish and Wildlife Reserve and had an enjoyable experience. Pros: Breathtaking views - the view facing the mountain and stream is absolutely amazing. Standing outside, looking up at the mountain while listening to the calming stream, or simply gazing down at the water, was incredibly relaxing. Well-furnished and equipped - the house is really well furnished and equipped. We even had a coffee machine and two places to have a braai, adding to the convenience and comfort of our stay. Spacious bedrooms - the house features four bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. Two of these rooms face the mountain and stream, offering stunning views, while the other two face the road and trout dam. Cons: Maintenance needed - the primary drawback is that the house does need some maintenance. One outer door is missing, but this wasn't a significant issue as the house remained warm inside. Additionally, it made it more convenient to step outside in the morning to enjoy the mountain view and stream sounds without going through two doors. The house needs a paint job and some waterproofing as the paint has started to bubble and peel off. One room facing the road has a serious bubbling paint problem, which made it less appealing for sleeping. The upstairs area also needs some work, but since we didn't use it, it wasn't a problem. Despite these issues, the house is still quite livable. However, if the waterproofing and paint job aren't addressed soon, it could become unlivable. In its current condition, I would definitely stay there again. Our stay was really fun, and we had everything we needed—except a spatula, which wasn’t a big deal as there were plenty of other utensils to use for cooking eggs. Overall, Unit 14 at Doornkop Fish and Wildlife Reserve provided a pleasant and memorable stay. We hope the necessary maintenance is carried out soon to preserve its charm and comfort for future guests.

Beautiful place with everything needed and we had a great time. We had a good time and it was enough for one night. We are disappointed not to be informed that there is no Vodacom mobile phone network. We feel it is essential. We also couldn't light the gas fires in the rooms at all - it seems that some of the gas bottles had been removed and the gas connections were faulty. A. g. No response, we couldn't call anyone.

Pragtige plek met alles wat nodig is en ons het heerlik gekuier. Ons het lekker gekuier en dit was voldoende vir een aand. Ons is teleurgesteld om nie in kennis gestel te word dat daar nie Vodacom selfoon netwerk is nie. Ons voel dit is noodsaaklik. Ons kon ook glad nie die gas kaggels in die kamers aansteek nie - dit blyk dat van die gasbottels verwyder is en die gaskoppelings foutief was. A. g. v geen opvangs kon ons niemand skakel nie.

Restful. Beautiful nature. Have a nice time. It was nice. The scenery is beautiful. The unit needs attention. The legs of the beds are creaky. Temporary supports under the double beds are only at mercy. One patio set doors off completely. We had a big storm and it rained. The winter is going to be a problem. There is no egg spatula in the kitchen. The glasses are insufficient. The dishwasher was a plus, thank you. There were plenty of pots, pans and crockery, thank you. The fishponds are very beautiful to look at and tidy. The fishing licenses are somewhat expensive at R250 per person. If the owner takes care of the above, I will come again. The maintenance has been addressed a few times now. If it gets attention, it's actually a very nice unit.

Rustig. Mooi natuur. Lekker gekuier. Dit was lekker. Die natuurskoon is pragtig. Die eenheid benodig aandag. Die beddens se pote is krakerig. Tydelike stutte onder die dubbelbeddens is net op genade. Een patio stel deure heeltemal af. Ons het 'n groot storm gehad en dit het ingereën. Die winter gaan 'n probleem wees. Daar is geen eierspaan in die kombuis nie. Die glase is onvoldoende. Die skottelgoedwasser was 'n plus, dankie. Daar was genoeg potte, panne en breekware, dankie. Die visdamme is baie mooi om na te kyk en netjies. Die vislisensies is ietwat duur teen R250 per persoon. As die eienaar na bogenoemde omsien, sal ek weer kom. Die instandhouding is nou al 'n paar keer aangespreek. As dit aandag kry, is dit eintlik 'n baie lekker eenheid.

Disappointing - Lovely area, awful unit. We are very disappointed in 14 Doornkop. We have now been to Doornkop Estate for the 4th time and have always had nice units. The Estate itself is wonderful and it is incredibly beautiful. This house needs a lot of work. The walls are cracked and dirty, there is clearly a lot of water damage. The kitchen cabinets are falling apart. The cupboard under the sink in the kitchen is moldy and smells rotten, very unhygienic. The porch's one sliding door is completely gone and the other one cannot open. All the wooden doors are damaged, the door upstairs in the loft is simply rotted away. The furniture is dirty, some of the chairs are broken. The fridge is broken on the inside. I would not like to stay in this unit again, and cannot recommend it to anyone else.

Teleurstellend - Lieflike area, aaklige eenheid. Ons is baie teleurgesteld in 14 Doornkop. Ons was nou vir die 4de keer by Doornkop Estate en het nog altyd lekker eenhede gehad. Die Estate self is wonderlik en dit is ongelooflik mooi. Hierdie huis kort baie werk. Die mure is gekraak en vuil, daar is duidelik baie waterskade. Die kombuiskaste val uitmekaar. Die kas onder die wasbak in die kombuis is gemuf en ruik vrot, baie onhigiënies. Die stoep se een skuifdeur is heeltemal weg en die ander een kan nie oopmaak nie. Al die houtdeure is beskadig, die deur bo in die loft is sommer weggevrot. Die meubels is vuil, van die stoele is gebreek. Die yskas is stukkend aan die binnekant. Ek sal nie graag weer in hierdie eenheid wil bly nie, en kan dit nie aanbeveel vir iemand anders nie.

Fantastic. We enjoyed the stay very much. The unit is properly equipped with everything you could possibly need. The unit needs some restoration, but the exceptional beauty of nature makes up for it!

Fantasties. Ons het die verblyf baie geniet. Die eenheid is behoorlik toegerus met alles wat jy sou kon dink jy nodig het. Die eenheid kort bietjie restourasie, maar die uitsonderlike skoonheid van die natuur maak op daarvoor!
