Gerieflike, ruim plekkie.

Gerieflike plekkie met goed toegeruste kombuis. Gasvrou was baie vriendelik en het goeie raad gegee oor staproetes en besienswaardighede in Hogsback.

Just the best break away from it all.

The cabin was so neat and comfy with everything that you need. The beds and bedding were so comfortable, an added bonus. The location and views were amazing, especially being able to relax on the deck bed with a morning coffee and watching the sun come up. Wonderful big fire pit to sit around and enjoy the warmth of the fire and starwatch. We are already planning our next trip.

Sunny, spacious, well equipped, relaxing, beautiful.

A lovely calming stay on a sunny hill in Hogsback. The cottage is well equipped with all the basic supplies, including firewood. The host was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable about things to do and see in the area and happy to give directions to the coolest local spots. The stoep is lovely for sunny cups of coffee with a beautiful view! Bonus points for chickens, dogs, and a very friendly cat coming to greet us .

Ons het glad nie lekker geslaap nie!

Met aankoms het die gasvrou vergeet dat ons bespreek het en die plek was beset deur haar ouers. Ons moes 90 minute wag dat hulle die plek ontruim en skoonmaak. Die waterdruk was deurgaans baie laag, met die gevolg dat 'n stort 'n uitdaging was. Warm water was die eerste aand 'n probleem. Die kajuit kort aandag oor die algemeen, die tuin is slordig en die braai-area was vuil.

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.

Peaceful, stress-free, relaxing.

The directions sent by the host to get there were spot on and easy to follow. She greeted us when we arrived and made sure we felt welcome. She has been very friendly and helpful. The cabin is clean, neat, and has everything we needed. On Saturday during our stay, it rained the whole day. The inside of the house was well stocked with firewood and the fireplace kept us warm and cosy. The beds had enough warm bedding and were very comfortable. We would definitely use this venue again. The farm-type setting does make one's soul relax.

Rustig met mooiste uitsig.

Heerlike weggesteekte "cosy" houthuisie met al die nodige geriewe vir 'n heerlike naweekverblyf. Baie vriendelik ontvang deur Helen en selfs in reënweer was die water baie warm. Mooiste uitsig en sal beslis weer daar bly.

Onvergeetlik.

Dit was ons laaste stop van ons vakansie en ons kon nie vir 'n beter einde gevra het nie. Die plek is landelik maar superskoon en almal was baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik. Sal dit verseker aanbeveel.

Rustige akkommodasie in die natuur.

Welkome ontvangs gehad en regtig rustig en lafenis vir die siel. Plekkie is nuut gebou met baie potensiaal. Sal dit sterk aanbeveel. Enigste ding wat kortgekom het, was melk of melkpoeier.

In die natuur by Hogsback.

Die knus eco cabin is perfek geleë vir 'n rustige wegbreek in Hogsback en ons het die aktiwiteite en stap in die omgewing baie geniet.

Rus vir die siel en mooiste natuurskoon.

Die "cabin" het die mooiste uitsig van die berge, ons het ure op die stoep deurgebring. Van ontbyt eet tot laatnag koffie drink. Helen is ongelooflik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het vanuit die berge gebel sodat sy die donkie kan aansteek vir 'n lekker warm bad, sy het dit vir ons gedoen. Sy het ook aanbevelings gemaak oor watter watervalle ons in ons kort tydjie daar moes gaan sien, en wow! Ons kan nie wag om weer by haar te boek nie.

'n Heerlike ervaring, maar dalk nie vir almal nie.

Die eienaar, Helen, het hierdie eko-houthuis self gebou. Dit is vol eksentrieke elemente en dus 'n heerlike ervaring vir mense wat op soek is vir iets anders, en om so lig as moontlik op ons brose aarde te trap. Helen was altyd beskikbaar om enige uitdaging te help hanteer. Sy is inderdaad die spil waarom alles by Wild Fox Hill draai en haar entoesiasme en passie is baie aansteeklik.

The cabin is on the rustic side but was clean and has everything you need. Stunning views. Great indoor fireplace. Be prepared to be eco-conscious in terms of water and electricity use but that is not a bad thing!

Was perfect for a one night stay. Location was beautiful, host friendly and chilled, amazing view.

We are a family of 6 and found the Cabin to be perfect for a night in Hogsback. Location was beautiful with incredibale views. Cabin is simple and one doesn't need much more than it offers. We are quite Eco in our approach so didn't mind recyling, etc but did find the shower was bit of a trickle rather than a shower.

Pragtige omgewing.

Die ligging van die cottage is pragtig en jy kan als inneem vanaf jou stoep. Helene die eienaar is ook baie aangenaam en mens kan sien sy's baie lief vir haar dorp en plekkie. Die cottage voel egter bietjie afgeleef en die honde en kat is gereeld op jou stoep.

Lieflike omgewing en skoon fasiliteit.

Ongelukkig was daar geen water om die oggend te stort nie of te was nie.

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.

Ons is definitief weer volgende jaar daar.

Fantastiese atmosfeer en natuurskoon. Wonderlike gasvryheid. Off the grid so ons was nie geraak deur loadshedding nie. Lieflike verblyf met alles wat jy nodig het. Uitstekend, ek kan nie wag om weer soontoe te gaan nie.

Baie gesellige wegbreek-plekkie met 'n pragtige uitsig!

Wild Fox Hill Eco Cabin is 'n pragtige plekkie! Afgesonder, netjies, gesellig en vol karakter! Die kaggel was wonderlik tydens ons eerste koue aand. Die gasvrou, Helen is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Ons het heerlik hier gebly en sal definitief weer kom!

Die plekkie is enige natuurliefhebber se hemel. As jy hou van avontuur sal ek die hiking trails aanbeveel of al hou jy net van 'n lekker boek lees voor 'n lekker kaggelvuur, die plek is dan vir jou. Baie basies, maar tog volledig toegerus.

Was voorwaar n ondervinging.

Baie hoog op in die berg, pragtige uitsig. Plek was redelik toegerus. Niks fancy nie. Alleenlik vir mense wat baie van die ongerepte natuur hou. Houthuisie, afgesonder. Ons het net een nag daar geslaap, sal nie rêrig vir langer daar bly nie. Aanbeveel vir ernstige natuurliefhebbers.

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Ons sal ongelukkig nie weer daar bespreek nie. Huisie was nie goed toegerus nie, nie warm water nie, stort was baie flou en ons moes donkie aansteek vir warm water. Wasbakke het geen water gehad nie. Die bad was ook buite werking. Die dak het gelek binne huis en buite ons kamer. Geen privaatheid van venster, geen gordyne. Die eienaar se werkers het gedurig verby geloop en selfs haar gaste. Dit was slegte ervaring vir vakansie wat jy na uitsien.

Wild Fox Hill Eco Cabin se terugvoer

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.
