Wild Fox Hill Eco Cabin se terugvoer
Dear Japie, it is one of my great joys to share my homestead with guests and I’m always delighted when people have a good stay. I am, therefore, very sorry that you did not enjoy your time with us and I am taking your feedback seriously. A 1.4-star review is very low, so I think it is important that I share my side of the story.
When your booking came through, my 17-month old was having serious breathing problems and we were at the hospital. In the stress of that time, I forgot to mark your booking on my calendar. This was the first time that I was not ready for guests who had booked. I understand this must have been frustrating, and I tried to make it up to you by offering beer, local farm fresh milk, and suggestions for how to spend your time while we prepared the cabin. Despite the circumstances, we managed to ready the cabin in under 90 minutes.
Unfortunately, we faced another issue when the water in the top tank ran out. We switched over to another tank, but an airlock developed in the boiler line, potentially because it had been made too hot, and there was no hot water for the night. I really apologise if I didn't offer to bring buckets of hot water! I was very relieved that the hot water was working again from the second day.
Every major decision at Wild Fox Hill is made with the earth's health in mind, which is why I have chosen to be off the grid. Although this solves several typical South African challenges like load shedding and municipal dysfunction, it brings its own set of challenges.
This ethos also influences our garden management at Wild Fox Hill. There is a large grassy area in front of the cabin for guests to enjoy, but we like to keep some sections wild. This may not be to everyone’s tastes. I have spent many years transforming the land I bought into a viable homestead, a thriving ecosystem, and an inspiring landscape. I apologise that the bonfire pit was not cleaned after previous guests.
Please know that guests who visit Wild Fox Hill can expect a rustic, cosy, characterful, off-the-grid experience filled with heart and nature. However, it is not perfect and does not have all the modern amenities.

Wild Fox Hill Eco Cabin se terugvoer
Hello Tom,
Thank you for your review. I'm really sorry you didn't have water in the morning. With the recent freezing conditions, the issue was the hot pipes freezing (a common problem in Hogsback) and with you having left early in the morning, they wouldn't have had a chance to defrost. I wish you all the best!

Dis ‘n oulike cabin maar was ongelukkig nie ordentlik skoongemaak voor ons kuier. Een warm kraan het nie gewerk nie, die opwasseep was op en die bad was vuil.

It is with joy that I share my beloved eco-cabin with friends and strangers alike. I, therefore, deeply regret any negative experiences guests may have. I am truly sorry Jeneane and family for your unfortunate experience at my Wild Fox Hill eco-cabin.
I do, however, feel that I must respond to this review to provide a more balanced picture. For starters, Hogsback is currently in a severe water crisis. Our dam has run dry, as has our municipal water and many establishments are struggling to meet the water expectations of our guests. A water aware campaign has begun in Hogsback with the message, "the last drop". In this campaign there are requests for guests to bring their own linen, only wash plates when necessary, consider a top and tails wash, and absolutely NO baths...the list continues. Being passionate about self-sufficiency I've never been connected to the municipal water, but have rather invested in 10 rainwater tanks. Unfortunately, due to a serious of mishaps (burst pipes) and lack of rainfall, my tanks were running low and there wasn't enough pressure for the water to get into the solar geyser (problem no 1).
My back up plan is a donkey boiler, allowing hot water to still flow in the cabin. I saw it as my duty to light the boiler morning and evening and expressed this to my guests. However, on a few occasions, I saw that the guests had taken it upon themselves to light the boiler. This was NOT expected of them! (I can thankfully say that I border a flowing river, and now with my ram pump finally working, my feeder tank is almost full and water now flows into the cabin's geyser, providing hot water at a decent pressure.
Regarding privacy, guests generally don't have such expectations of privacy. I now realise the importance of this and will be constructing a fence around the cabin as one of my next projects.
In summary, my passion is the environment and my cabin has been designed to have as little negative environmental impact as possible. There might, consequently, be a few quirks along the way. If you don't mind such quirks and are passionate about treading lightly on the earth, while enjoying beautiful views, quietness, cosy log fires, outside bonfires, deep sleeps, and rustic, simple living then this cabin is for you.
