    It would have been nice if the owner mentioned that the bar and restaurant were not operating Also basic things like tea coffee long life milk with a rusk always adds a good touch With the heatwave taking place, one would also assume the aircon would be checked and working

    Loved the decor

    During winter the built up tented rooms do get a bit cold, although enough warm blankets are given, it would be nice to be able to heat these - but suspect that this would cause a high risk of fire - so just be prepared!

    !The hosts were so kind and very welcoming. I had booked in error 3 rooms that were not together but very graciously placed us all together which was a definite upgrade! It was unexpected and much appreciated. The place is very well equipped with everything that we need and is a lovely space. Very impressed.

    Although it is a great "outdoor experience" whilst staying in the tents, it is a bit challenging when it is raining. You get very wet when walking to the shared bathroom. Also, the bathroom is not fully water-proof and gets quite wet after a down pour. It was out of the owner's control, but we didn't have any wifi during our three day stay and loadshedding was a bit of a damper.

    The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The facilities and rooms are very clean and the tents are awesome quality, big and with very comfortable beds. The Triple Luxury Room, which includes a private kitchen and access to the bar, is exceptional value for money and is highly recommended, especially if family or friends are staying together at the guesthouse and would like a central meeting place to hang out in.

    There were some problems getting in, when I finally got hold of someone to open the gate, I found several people inside who also had been waiting there for a long time trying to find the host. Around 23:00 at night I was woken up because someone couldn't get in and kept hooting for several minutes. I don't know whether this is because of the load shedding, but it's not clear how to get in once you get to the gate. The restaurant was unfortunately closed.

    Comfortable bed, tent, wonderful bathroom facilities, they're simply gorgeous. Extremely friendly hostess, who made sure everything was alright. I'll definitely be back in future.

    A little struggle with signal and to get in to the farm. Other than that, nothing worth mentioning here. Place will suite most people's taste.

    The landscape offers you a relaxed feeling where one can enjoy a best of both world scenario. A bit of a farm, a bit of a biker experience. You can see the pride in everything that these hosts do to accommodate their guests. One of our guests forgot his watch on-site and these special hosts got onto their bikes the next day to go and deliver this watch themselves to the guest. There are show bikes around the bar and in the rooms to give a special biker feeling to the guests. How awesome is it to sleep next to a bike in your room. For the love of bikes, this is a good place. ;-)
