Great quiet (except for birds and other animals) surroundings. Spacious house with basic facilities. Some inconveniences such as the shower which did't water off well, only one toilet which was in the bathroom. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much!

This is a place to go to and just relax. The view is exactly as per the advert and even better. The house is a warm typical farmhouse and you get the feeling of visiting close family rather than staying in a chalet. The kitchen is a disappointment in that: We could only manage to get one of the gas stowe burners

What a lovely place to be, thanks for a great hospitality and warm welcome to this lovely place indeed. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. I enjoyed playing with the pets and walks to the dam. Thank you Allan hoping to see you soon.

Definitely come again! What a fantastic 2 night stay. We all loved it here. Great house, amazingly comfy beds and soft linen. Super hot shower, and I even managed to squeeze myself and a wine glass into the bath :). Great place to get away from the city. The little black dog took us for a great little walk! I got into the pool "up to my knees"! Not warm enough in the autumn heat - lost a bet :). Thanks

Thank you so much for the hospitality Allan. You gladly and warmly received us despite our late arrival well after 2200hrs. You followed up on us till we made it home (Red Earth). Thank you. Louis oh my word we have a friend and the cat we named Gary, lovely pets and were our guides up and down the trail and past all the houses and even our lovely home. They stood guard. No TV meant me and my fiance could bond intimately with no disturbance what so ever. Allan, we surely will be back, we never had enough of your hospitality, your talks when we shouted for you when we need 5 minutes you gave 30 meaning you have time for us always. Thank you once again, we appreciate you, your home and, Louis, man we will miss. Lots of love

Liewe Allan, Hoe se mens dankie vir so 'n ongelooflike Amazing Nawekie hier by jull? Hierdie Valentyns wegbreek nawekie is net wat ons nodig gehad het. Die wegbreek van die stad se gejaag na hierdie Asemrowende Natuur stilte is net wat ons nodig gehad het. om onsself weer te vind en stil te kan raak voor Abba Vader ons skepper. Wens so ons kon langer bly om net nog meer van hierdie stilte en rustigheid te kon indrink. Om wakker te word in die oggend met al hierdie God geskape diere geluidjies is onbeskryflik. Ons sal hierdie plekkie van jou beslis aanbeveel aan almal wat ons ken. Weereens dankie vir jou gasvryheid, jou vriendelikheid en dat jy jou plekkie oopstel vir mense soos ons wat net die wegbreek nodig het. Die naweek was net te kort, maar vreeslik lekker! Liefde Riaan en Charlene.

What a lovely stay! It was beautiful! Very comfy and had everything we needed. It was exactly the holiday we needed. We spent most of our time in the little cave, which is a short hike up and over the koppie. Highly recommend

Baie dankie vir die lekker kuier. Dit was heerlik om op 'n plaas weer te bly en die nuwe jaar in te gaan in rustigheid. Lekker gespeel met die twee woefs wat hulle by ons tuis gemaak het dit het gevoel of ek by my woefs ook is.

Sal die plek aanbeveel. Dankie vir die awesome tyd wat ons hier kon spandeer. Geen stads geraas, net die rustigheid van plaas. Die naggeluide en die rustige omgewing was al wat ons nodig gehad het. Voel weer soos nuwe mense en sien weer kans vir die stad en lang pad. Rustige groete.

We had such a wonderful time here. The dogs Lushiuse and Prosper were the best dogs ever. We are said to leave them, but this is their home. When we where awake and the door was open Lushiuse gave my mom a fright. Then we played with him then Conner and I went down the path and found Prosper in a pen, We wanted to let him out but we couldn't then we went back to the house and then Prosper followed us. We played with them then Prosper ran off then we couldn't find him. Then we went for a walk Lushiuse led it. We came back and still didn't find Prosper. And now we are packing to go. Thank you, Love, the Channings

Liewe Allan, Baie dankie vir jou gasvryheid. Ons was veronderstel om 6 te wees maar ons was net 2. Maar ek is nie vir een oomblik spyt nie. Dit was ongelooflik en amazing. Die huis is pragtig. Die geriewe goed. Ons was weer vir 'n slag een met die natuur en het ongelooflike kwaliteit tyd gehad. Die kloof is pragtig. Ons sal verseker weer kom.

Dear Allan, Charlie and the friendly little dog without a name: Thank you so much for the gift to stay here in this lovely, warm, calm and off the grid home. From the "infinity pool", rocks and cave to the comfort of an all you need breakaway destination, we had a great time and will be sure to come back again and again.
