    The gravel road leading to the farm was in a fair condition with small rain damage in places that did not cause a problem at all. However, the wheel ruts in the farm driveway were a little deep for a low sedan that did cause a little scraping underneath.

    The cottage is situated in an absolute gem of a position right on the bank of the dam and is so peaceful, well equipped and very comfortable. The cottage canoe and swimming in the dam adds another dimension. Although not far from the farmhouse, the cottage has its own space and is very private. With the tinkling of cow bells in the fields, a perfect place to relax.

    I can't fault the place. It met all expectations, photos on the booking site were an understatement to what we found.

    All the facilities exceeded our expectations. The owner was hands on and had great dining suggestions. The property had a generator for loadshedding. Rooms clean, bathrooms immaculate.

    Arriving on the farm was an amazing experience, with such a pure and refreshing energy. We stayed in the cabin for 3 nights and left wishing we could extend our stay! The cabin is located adjacent to the dam with a little jetty and a kayak (paddles and life jackets too) for our use. On the deck, there are 3 different seating options available depending on your use: camping chairs and table, deck chairs, and a bench, which were all so comfortable and definitely well-thought-out. Also included is a skottel braai (outside) and a single plate gas stand with a kettle (inside). There is also a wood/coal braai area, with complimentary wood being replaced daily. The lounge area has the most comfy couch and blanket and a TV stand filled with amazing DVDs, books, games, and magazines. The cabin is fully fitted with everything you would need for your stay in terms of kitchen utensils and dish soap etc. The two plate induction stove is incredibly easy to use and warms up really fast. There is a dining table with two chairs and had the cutest little gift basket. The bathroom is fitted with a heated towel rail (incl. towels) and has shampoo and shower gel dispensers as well. There is an oil heater and two electric blankets in the bedroom with another woolen blanket as well, making our stay in Winter so cosy and comfortable. Everything was impeccably neat and clean too. Ash is an incredible host, paying attention to detail and truly values his guests. The facilities and activities available on the farm are incredible. And the views, wow, they are superb. From the cabin itself (sunrise and sunset from the jetty, watching the animals go out each morning and come in for the night) and on the hike around the dam are just so beautiful. Our stay was definitely relaxing and rejuvenating, and we already can't wait to stay again!

    The Cabin is fully kitted, nothing we needed wasn’t there. The view is incredible, looking out over the dam, with the most amazing sunsets. The bed was extremely comfortable, and so nice and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here, we can’t wait to be back again. Friendly service, great accommodation and just the perfect getaway from the city.
