Wonderful place, would love to stay a few days. Very friendly reception. Terribly beautiful surroundings and outstanding accommodation. Sorry we only stayed 1 night. Everything you need is there to relax peacefully.

Peaceful beauty. The location is outstanding and accommodation very comfortable, but small niggles such as basic housekeeping were not up to standard. Certain glasses were mismatched and there were only 3 available, but this did not distract from the serene environment. There was no WiFi on offer and very minimal TV channels. We will definitely book again but plan to stay at the location for meals and not travel into restaurants as it is about a 30-minute journey into town. All in all, an enjoyable stay and will recommend.

Our units are fully self-catering. In the four-sleeper unit, where you stayed, there are 6 items of every type of crockery and cutlery. Should you have a shortage of anything or if any item is not to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately and we will assist you without hesitation. We have DStv Hotel Bouquet in our units and have good cell phone reception. The units are spaced far apart; thus, it is not viable to install WiFi in each unit. Our clientele come to enjoy the outdoors and tranquillity of the area. Our closest restaurants are in the Pecanwood area and it is only 15 minutes away. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

Beautiful place in nature, very peaceful. Needs some upkeep. The view and setup were amazing! A lot of money must have been invested in setting up the trout farm with dams and a hatchery; unfortunately, lots of wear and tear are showing on the buildings and furniture. My back is in complete pain from the mattress being old and saggy. Take your own towels; these towels don't cover much and are very thin. Try and sleep in the single beds; they are much more comfortable. Bonfire wood was provided daily!

Maintenance is ongoing. Hope you saw the improvements. The mattresses are frequently checked and replaced. Should you have a problem with the towels or any other item in your unit, please contact us immediately and we will exchange it for you. Thanks for the feedback.

Convenient location, comfortable stay but not all as advertised. Well equipped comfortable cottage but the rest of the advertised facilities were disappointing. No game to be seen and inaccessible river, except a small entrance at the weir.

The access to the river is through a gate for security reasons. Also, remember next time to enquire about directions if you want to go for a walk on the farm to spot some game. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Will definitely go back again. Friendliest staff on earth, unit is well equipped for a nice getaway, was only warm at night when Eskom shut off the power, but will be very nice in the winter. Note, only fly fishing is allowed, so leave your black bass gear at home.

Just what the doctor ordered. We were met by 2 wonderful staff who showed us to the house and made sure we were comfortable. And that we were, including the bed. The whole house was well equipped and quite luxurious and very private. The walks around the farm were great as well as the scenery. 2 nights were just too short but were wonderful. We'll be back!
