This is a place to visit again. Peace and quiet are the big draw. From the first night, as the English say, "sheer bliss"! If you want to break away from Gauteng's "rat race", look no further. Total tranquility. The silence is audible! The bird sounds are refreshing. Night owls in the evening and early morning are soothing. Rain on the zinc roof was like music! Lovely stoep and braai area. If you are a bookworm, this is ideal. And at the Info centre on Groot Marico's spacious bookstore you will certainly find satisfaction. Nice MTB ride in the area, and lovely long walk on a neighboring farm. And hospitality from the people of the area was characteristic and refreshing (especially when you come from Gauteng!).

Hierdie is 'n plek om weer te besoek. Rustigheid en stilte is die groot trekpleister. Vanaf die eerste aand, soos die Engelse sê, "sheer bliss"! As jy wil wegbreek vanaf Gauteng se "rat race", soek nie verder nie. Totale rustigheid. Die stilte is hoorbaar! Die voëlgeluide is verfrissend. Naguiltjies saans en vroegoggend is strelend. Reën op die sinkdak was soos musiek! Heerlike stoep en braai area. As jy 'n boekwurm is, is hierdie ideaal. En by die Info sentrum op Groot Marico se ruim boekwinkel sal jy vir seker tevredenheid kry. Lekker MTB gery in die omgewing, en heerlike lang stap op buurplaas. En gasvryheid by die mense van die area was kenmerkend en verfrissend (veral wanneer jy uit Gauteng kom!).

Highly recommended for an escape in the woods. Very nice place in the forest. Safe. River and a dam section in the river for swimming.

Hoogs aanbeveel vir 'n ontsnapping in die bos. Baie lekker plek in die bos. Veilig. Rivier en 'n damgedeelte in die rivier om te swem.

Thank you very much for your kind words about our Up The Creek place. It is truly a very nice place in the woods by the river and safe. Come again!

Baie dankie vir jou ware woorde oor ons Up The Creek plekkie. Dit is voorwaar 'n baie lekker plekkie in die bos by die rivier en veilig. Kom weer!

Wonderful, down to earth stay. Lovely bush getaway with the basics, but still everything you need. The ideal place if you just want to switch off from it all. Santa is immediately available to help if she is needed. Cell phone reception is very poor, but about 50 m up the path you do have reception.

Heerlike, plat op die aarde verblyf. Heerlike boswegbreek met die basiese, maar tog alles wat jy nodig het. Die ideale plek as jy net wil afskakel van alles af. Santa is onmiddellik beskikbaar om te help indien sy benodig word. Selfoonopvangs is baie swak, maar so 50 m met die paadjie op het jy wel opvangs.

Lovely forest getaway. Nice primitive bush getaway. Kids enjoyed it. Night 4 we saw fireflies. A first for the kids.

Lieflike bos wegbreek. Lekker primitiewe bos wegbreek. Kinders het dit geniet. Aand 4 het ons vuurvliegies gesien. 'n Eerste vir die kinders.

The fireflies by the river are so enchanting. Staying Up The Creek was able to provide that experience for your children. Thank you for being such positive guests.

Die vuurvliegies by die rivier is so betowerend. Bly Up The Creek kon vir julle kinders daardie ervaring bied. Dankie dat julle sulke positiewe gaste was.

Rewind back to the basics, enjoy quality time together. It was exactly what we expected and what we needed. Total disconnect from the world. Never met a host as passionate as Santa, lovely town and brilliant people.

Wonderful. Please be aware it can be very hot and if there is no electricity in the area it could be a problem. Though the swim in the dam is out of this world. I would highly recommend it if you want to be away from anything.

Santa is the best! Klaas' cottage was not available due to water problems. It was no problem for Santa, she accommodated us at a neighboring farm, Riverstill. Had a great time and everything was fine.

Santa is die beste! Klaas se kothuis was nie beskikbaar nie weens waterprobleme. Dit was geen probleem vir Santa nie, sy het ons geakommodeer by 'n buurplaas, Riverstill. Lekker gekuier en alles was reg.

Come to rest. We had a great stay at Up The Creek. If you want to rest and get away from it all, this is the ideal place. The cottage is very comfortable and it was lovely to sit by the river and just listen to the birds and the water. Santa is a hostess thousand. She went out of her way to explain to us the easiest way to the Pilansberg Nature Reserve, where we spent a lovely day.

Kom tot rus. Ons het baie lekker gebly by Up The Creek. As jy wil rus en wegkom van alles, is dit die ideale plek. Die kothuis is baie gerieflik en dit was heerlik om langs die rivier te sit en net na die voëls en die water te luister. Santa is 'n gasvrou duisend. Sy het uit haar pad gegaan om vir ons die maklikste pad na die Pilansberg Natuur Reservaat te verduidelik, waar ons 'n heerlike dag deurgebring het.
