We unfortunately didn't see any otters or fish in either of the dams.

The property was well equipped with all amenities and we had both solar and a generator. The view was beautiful with cows roaming the farm. A lovely place to stay.

Fishing and access from main road very poor. Booking.com did not tell owner about booking - fault in system

The bar

Little TLC needed, upstairs walking on the wooden floor sounds through the complete house

Uniques getaway, quiet and tranquil

I think the accommodation could be a bit cleaner, paying more attention to the bedrooms and bedding. The blankets and carpets felt a little dusty.

Beautiful views with a very rustic feel - very comfortable.

Beautiful and quiet - perfect escape from the city.

One of the light bulbs in the kitchen needs to be replaced.

We loved the large comfortable house, it is very well stocked with everything we needed. All the gas appliances worked well, we even made lasagne in the gas oven! It is great that the house is off-grid with no loadshedding. The large fireplace is awesome. The staff are very friendly, Jan chopped the wood for us and they did a great job servicing the house every day. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. The view of the dam at sunrise is awesome, it is the loveliest sunrises I have ever seen! Thanks so much for a lovely, relaxing weekend.

The property was never perfect, but the floor on the top floor was extremely noisy. it’s fine to hear footsteps on a wooden floor, up the floor boards was squeaking load.

The location, cleanliness and facilities was perfect

Was a bit dirty and lots of dog hair(we are allergic)

Dam and location is good

Access road isn't really suitable for a regular car, especially when it's been raining and the road is muddy, an SUV/4x4/bakkie type vehicle would be better suited. Fridge wasn't working properly. The upstairs bedroom wooden floor is very loud mostly for the bedroom below it.

Great location, away from the world, the perfect place to just disconnect. Scenic views and very quite. Short drive away from Dullstroom town center. Loved the eco friendliness and environmental impact efforts being made.

The double beds could be Queen-Size and a better quality mattress. We like to walk and would have liked to access walking trails on neighboring farms without having to drive anywhere. The white noise from the traffic on the main road detracted from the experience of being off the grid in a beautiful setting.

Well equipped, clean and comfortable getaway cottage in a most stunning location. Staff were friendly and helpful and serviced the cottage daily. We stayed for 6 nights very comfortably with enough space (inside and outside) for 5 adults (3 adult daughters). Felt like an away home from home, and the added benefit of being off the grid and not subject to load shedding was an unexpected and valued benefit. Firewood available on request from the caretaker at a small cost. The minor negatives below didn't detract from what was a great holiday in beautiful surroundings.

The fridge wasn’t working properly. and the sink in the kitchen had a crack leaking water below. besides that it was a lovely stay.

Lovely location, stunning view and the kiddos enjoyed the cows.

The roads to the house were muddy due to the rain. You needed a SUV or bakkie toe drive on them. The reeds covered the entrance to the dam, so you could access the dam from the property, which would have been nice.

We like the fact that is situated outside Dullstroom and the feeling of staying on a farm.

A few small things need to be fixed. Such as the washing line. The fridge needs TLC. Other than that all was good and the generator was on standby.

As a couple we enjoyed the space.

I'm grateful that I made contact with the owner beforehand as otherwise I would have struggled with entry procedure. Also, we never got the gas-powered fridge to function as needed.

The property has loads of quirky personality. Coming from a bush break it was the perfect way to break the trip back to civilisation: quiet and comfortable, with enough hot water (thanks to gas) for 8 guests.

Only found out about the generator requirement for hairdryers the week before arrival.

Stayed in August 2022

The shower wasn't level and didn't have a bar to balance with. I realized this after a bad fall which left me bruised. The hot water from the shower doesn't have consistency because it can get very hot then it gets very cold although it's hot water that's supposed to be running. The water pressure for the bath is a bit too low and slow. The rooms upstairs have wooden floors that are not supported by a flat surface so you can hear the creeks or see someone walking above you. The solar power supply ran out in the middle of the night and the back up generator had no gas to boost it and the caretaker wasn't around to help us with any other form of back up so it was a really dark night. I also suggest that bedroom and bathroom doors should have keys to lock because although we were family, we were victims to theft whilst sleeping. The drive to the house is long and the gravel at some point was bad. The owner should make people aware of the cemetery on the property because it made us a little uncomfortable.

It was a very secluded area that had a beautiful view and it was quiet and peaceful. Everything for self catering was catered for which was very convenient.

A few minor inconveniences, but completely overshadowed by the beautiful location and surrounds. If you do get stuck, Jan is there to assist.

Had a wonderful stay here! The house is lovely and tranquil, with an amazing view over the dam and surrounding mountains. Everything you need is there to have a relaxing stay.
