Hard to reach, host not home.
Google Maps was wrong. We got lost, road very bad. After call (first one not answered) host apologized for water situation, we have to take water with us. Someone will meet us at the gate. Directions to the farm terribly inadequate, poor. No one came to meet us. Woman who could not speak English or Afrikaans opened the back door (it was locked) and we assumed she wanted to ride along to show us where to go. She could not communicate a single sentence, only "gate". At 2nd gate we had to enter, on an open ground, no made road. Thorns everywhere until we got to the right tent he signaled "here". When we wanted to call to say we were safe there, there was no phone reception. Then we walked up to the hill to get reception. The folding camping chair we had to use outside was broken. Most of the solar lamps did not work. Bathroom water did not run. Shower was freezing cold in the evening as well as in the morning. So solar heating did not work. Our bed was comfortable and luckily there was a loose sheet that we could use with the sleeping bags. There were no towels. Perhaps we have not read everything carefully in connection with this facility. But it didn't live up to my expectations. No wooden board, sharp knife etc. for self-catering, but we managed and had a nice barbecue ourselves.
Moeilik bereikbaar, gasheer nie tuis nie.
Google Maps was verkeerd. Ons het verdwaal, pad baie sleg. Na oproep (eerste een nie beantwoord) het gasheer om verskoning gevra vir watersituasie, ons moet water saamneem. Iemand sal ons by die hek ontmoet. Aanwysings na die plaas verskriklik onvoldoende, swak. Niemand het ons kom ontmoet nie. Vrou wat geen Engels of Afrikaans kon praat nie, het agterdeur oopgepluk (dit was gesluit) en ons het aangeneem sy wil saamry om ons te wys waarheen om te gaan. Sy kon nie een sin kommunikeer nie, net "hek". By 2de hek moes ons ingaan, op 'n oopte, geen gemaakte pad. Dorings orals tot ons by die regte tent gekom het het sy beduie "hier". Toe ons wou bel om te sê ons is veilig daar, was daar geen foon-ontvangs nie. Toe loop ons tot by heuwel om ontvangs te kry. Die opvou-kampstoel wat ons buite moes gebruik, was stukkend. Meeste van die solar-lampies het nie gewerk nie. Badkamerwater het nie geloop nie. Stort was in die aand sowel as oggend vriesend koud. So sonverwarming het nie gewerk nie. Ons bed was gerieflik en daar was gelukkig 'n los laken wat ons kon gebruik saam met die slaapsakke. Daar was nie handdoeke nie. Miskien het ons nie alles mooi gelees in verband met hierdie fasiliteit nie. Maar dit het nie aan my verwagtinge voldoen nie. Geen houtbord, skerp mes ens. vir self-catering, maar ons het reggekom en lekker self gebraai.
So peaceful, perfect place for a quiet getaway. Beautiful views.
Felt so good to be in nature, saw some animals. Perfect for a getaway with friends and loved ones. Easy to locate as well!
