92 guests' feedbackPerfect location with a view of the river and the goats grazing around us, and lots of quiet - exactly what we needed. Thank you also for the delicious freshly baked bread!
We had an amazing 3-night stay in Canyon Cottage - wish it was longer. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be back.
Thank you so much for the wonderful stay! We truly appreciated the hospitality and everything that made the experience so memorable. The homemade bread was amazing. Looking forward to coming back again soon!
Wonderful, peaceful, lots of personal touches in the cottage and Allison is a kind, delightful host who goes above and beyond. Pure bliss!
Beautiful surroundings. Lovely facilities with the most beautiful view of animals grazing all around the units. Only item I would perhaps add is a curtain at the laundry room entrance.
I got it! Beautiful, calm and quiet! Will come again.
It was wonderful. Waking up to the sounds of all the different animals was amazing.
Very relaxing and beautiful.
Lots of bird life and awesome to view the game strolling around the cottage. They come quite close and that makes it even better. The cottage has everything you need. Very private and a lovely view over the river. WiFi would have been a plus. Cellphone signal very poor.
We and the dog children enjoyed the weekend very much! The tranquility is exactly what we needed for a break from the city. We had a great time sitting around the fireplace. The moose and goats so close to the cottage were something to behold and the hostess was friendly and even brought us home-baked bread. Will definitely visit again!
Yes, thank you very much, everything was comfortable and cozy. The accommodation is well maintained.
What a wonderful place. Beautiful and very peaceful. The hostess makes you feel welcome immediately. The proximity to the Hope nature reserve makes it a great option to explore the beautiful surroundings even more. Definitely worth it.
Soulful, peaceful, warm, feels like home. Dki you are dear.
Excellent, peaceful, beautiful and full of surprises.
Was excellent, 2nd time back and will do so again!
Fantastic place, so peaceful. Well maintained and comfortable. We had a lovely walk by the river.
Absolute bliss. Complete peace and tranquility.
Highly recommended. Great value for money. Quiet, private, peaceful, cosy, and very beautiful. The pictures do not lie.
Lovely stay! We had a wonderful walk in the game camp, nice big fireplaces for the cold winter evenings.
We needed peace and quiet. We needed a beautiful tranquil place with friendly hosts. We got that and so much more. We will be back.
We had an amazing time away, watching nature all around, and the peace and quiet was very needed to recharge our batteries. You don't have to be fit to enjoy this place. The walks around are flat and easy, and the guys on the bikes enjoyed riding around. The house was comfortable and had everything you needed. You are in the country, so you will have a few country bugs attracted to your candle light. You are about the only light in a 10 km radius, but don't let that put you off from coming to this place. It's worth it. Will I be back? Most definitely.
Yes, had a nice stay.
One of the better places I've booked.
Terribly nice stay. Our children really enjoyed the game and the place to sleep.
We had an excellent stay, was amazing. Peace of mind The view, the wild animals (various species of antelope), the tranquility and then the friendly welcome and freshly baked ciabatta. You can't ask for better. The cottage is absolutely 100% equipped with everything you need. We will definitely go back and this place is now also on our permanent list of top accommodation!
Never missed TV/WiFi or any other technology. The closeness to nature and the different antelope (eland, springbuck, kudu, nyala, and impala) provided rest for the soul. Bonding with my wife, sitting on the stoep till late and early morning having coffee, listening to the sounds of nature, priceless.
Had a great time with my family. Enjoyed the views of the nature and animals within the serene quiet setting. Beautiful birds in the area and lovely stream of water views from the deck. Comfortable and well equipped cottage. Our host was fantastic, gave us some clear communication and a very warm welcome.
We had the most incredible stay at this stunning cottage. We arrived on a very cold, rainy, stormy day but from the moment we arrived we were struck by the breathtaking views of the valley and river below. But what truly made our stay special was the abundance of wildlife that call the grounds home. The cottage is small and cosy, has a lovely balcony, very romantic for two, warm and welcoming with a lovely big fireplace. The kitchen area has everything you need. The only struggle we had was with the hot water in the shower; it didn't stay hot long enough but we managed. However, the host was gracious and accommodating and readily assisted when needed, which we appreciated. We loved being able to walk around amongst the wildlife while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. This cottage is a true gem and we can't wait to return.
Beautiful nature and wildlife viewing from accommodation. Exceptionally beautiful stone built unit. Warm welcome and hospitable hostess/host.
Very calm and friendly people.
We were a group of 8 men and everyone enjoyed the stunning location and stunning views. Thank you very much to the host for the hospitality and the abundance of wood for the cold evenings.
We had a really nice stay, could really just rest and enjoy the tranquility of nature and its animals.
Wow, what a peaceful place. If you want to get away from the everyday rush, this is the perfect place where time stands still. Most beautiful little cottage to spend some time with a loved one!
We had a great time. The fact that the house is in a game camp makes it very special. The goats roaming near the house were any photographer's dream! And it's also a birdwatcher's paradise! I would gladly recommend the place. Thank you very much for your kindness and your help and feeding the goats! Two very nice hosts.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, fresh air in your lungs, then this is the place for you. Birds chirping early in the morning and drinking your coffee in silence is absolutely refreshing. The bonus is the moose and springboks that wander peacefully, so bring your camera and binoculars, you definitely won't regret it.
Blissful quiet place. Perfect for a peaceful relax.
Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Neat and clean cottage with lovely views of the river and surrounding land.
We were 12 family members and enjoyed the break from the city. It almost feels like you are in the forest with the goats around you, and the beautiful stars! Our hostess welcomed us with freshly baked bread! What a feast.
Peaceful surroundings, beautiful nature enjoyed and a nice visit and barbecue on the veranda, surprised by friendly owners and freshly baked ciabatta, thank you very much!
My husband liked it. His wife not so much. Place needs fumigation regularly, crickets are disgusting. Not enough hooks, and nothing in showers for soap, shower wash, etc. I had three nights of no sleep due to no curtains in front room where crickets were jumping against window when lights were on. Animals were amazing, but that was about it for Peter's wife. Kitchen layout and cup sizes I loved. Very user friendly. Bread not necessary as it's dry (not sourdough or rye) at all. Jake was friendly, not his wife, she got back in van when she saw us, not even a welcome.
Breathtaking place with the most beautiful views.
Will go back again. Had a great time. There is everything you need. Maybe just pack camping chairs to make sitting on the porch even more enjoyable. We saw many goats, had a nice walk.
While there was a storm, we were comfortable and warm thanks to the indoor fireplace. The unit depends on solar power and while the batteries ran low, we never experienced a power failure.
We stayed in the Aloe Canyon Cottage for a week and it was so peaceful and quiet, just what we were looking for. Walked around the farm during the day and looked for the goats and sat in front of the fire in the evening and visited. Lovely to stand on the porch and watch the sun go down. The wildlife visited us regularly and it should be a paradise for bird watchers. The nice leather couch in front of the sliding door was perfect for lying down and reading or watching the rain on a cold day. This is the perfect place if you just want to switch off.
Perfect location to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Unbelievably beautiful views, sunsets and wildlife on your doorstep. All that one needs to escape from the daily rush. Owners are hospitable and helpful.
This is definitely 1 of our 'have to go back' spots. Quiet, peaceful, teeming with wildlife, spectacular view. The roaming buck, eland, nyala, springbokkies came to graze within a couple of meters from where we were sitting. Highly recommended.
We arrived and instructions were very clear, and we settled in our cottage. Owners arrived in the late afternoon and we spent some time together. Awesome experience and looking forward to going back!
Perfect getaway with significant other. We loved the wild life with a beautiful and peaceful setting.
See stars.
Beautiful surroundings with the animals that come to visit. Within traveling distance of Arniston, Struisbaai and L'Agulhas for day visits and then also day trips to Montagu and Barrydale on circular route. Beds very comfortable. Benches may be replaced, moved out and would suggest perhaps installing hooks in bathrooms where you can hang your towels.
We visited Aloe Canyons in the December holidays and spent Christmas Day there. Best decision we could have made to get away from the crowds that invade the Cape this time of year. The Rooidakhuis was very comfortable accommodation, and the village a wonderful base from which we could comfortably reach De Hoop, Bontebok National Park, Malgas, Agulhas, Struisbaai and Elim without a rush.
The cottage sits on the river and is really an amazing place to be able to drink coffee in the morning. The silence and nature are incredible. We will definitely visit again!
We had a lovely stay and the location allowed us to go to Dehoop easily and reach swellendam quickly as well.
We were kindly received and appreciated their hospitality. What a fantastic stay, nature, animals, birds, silence. The farm really offers something special and we trust the owner will keep it that way.
It was more than I expected, and will definitely go back again. A beautiful, peaceful getaway.
Very ideal to break away from the busy city life.
Totally exceeded our expectations. Relax and enjoy the wildlife that contributes to great pampering.
Great spot to get away from the busy working life and to reconnect with nature and yourself.
It was a fantastic weekend getaway, no TV, just the scenery and the goats on your doorstep. Delicious morning coffee on the porch, and a nice walk on the farm. Fireplace inside against the cold and a nice big braai on the stoep. What more can one ask for. Friendliest people, who immediately made us feel at home! Will definitely go again.
It is a piece of heaven on earth. We had such a good time we didn't want to go home again. Will definitely go again.
We had a great time at Aloe Canyons Guestfarm. It was lovely to sit outside on the veranda with the river right in front of us. The wildebeest and zebra also make it very special. Will definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
Best customer service. Such a nice experience.
A real piece of heaven on earth.
Quiet and nice to have nature on your doorstep. Took field walks in the mornings and afternoons with wildlife around us.
It's very peaceful and beautiful.
Comfortable, remote accommodation close to De Hoop & Swellendam. Nice view over the hills to the mountains at Swellendam. The accommodation is located in a game camp with eland, impala, kudu, springbok, nyala, first time we could be so close to the game goats.
In the middle of nowhere. Very nice location, everything we required. House immaculate and clean, but still has old world charm. The owners feed the wild animals in front of the cottage so one is able to watch quietly and then follow directions for walking. This is a lovely place to be on your own and enjoy farm life. We certainly did.
We had a lovely, peaceful weekend. Beautiful surroundings.
A true getaway from it all! Game that grazes around the cottage. Particular sunrises & sunsets. No other people nearby (there was no one in the red-roofed house on the hill during our stay). Friendly, effective communication from Alison (and her team). Would recommend Aloe Canyons anytime. Thanks Alison!
The place is exactly what it is advertised. Neat, clean and you feel like you are in your own piece of wildlife park. The owners were very friendly and helpful - can absolutely recommend.
Clean and tidy. Friendly reception and service. Very peaceful environment with the wild animals on your doorstep.
We had a great time, the children really enjoyed the animals/goats and Alison was so helpful. It was 2 days of peace and quiet! We will definitely go back and take Grandpa and Grandma with us.
We had a wonderful stay in the cottage. Peaceful and quiet with lots of beautiful bucks to keep us company.
Absolutely good food for the soul. With the wildlife that almost comes right onto your verandah, you can't ask for anything more.
The nicest holiday home with more than enough space for everyone. Large porch with game that grazes right up to the house. Marthie and her family are extremely hospitable and we recommend the getaway to anyone. Just 30 min from De Hoop reserve.
Aloe Canyons is the perfect destination is you're looking to get away from it all - ideal for total relaxation! The unit is equipped with everything you need. Gorgeous views and wildlife!
Have a great visit in the Rooidakhuis! View for days, with tranquility that is food for the soul. Very helpful and nice hosts. Would definitely recommend it, your soul rests wonderfully there. The wildebeests are an amazing experience.
Very nice in nature without noise. Walk around, enjoy the antelope and nature.
The cottage was clean, tidy and well equipped for a cozy getaway. The moose and springboks often come to greet you on your front porch. The perfect place to rest and recharge. Very friendly owners make an effort to make your time on the farm a pleasure.
Aloe canyons is a beautiful secluded destination.
Had a nice overnight stay on the way to Cape Town. Not far from the N2. Very nice to stay among the wildlife in a wildlife camp. Perfect for an overnight stay or a quiet weekend together.
We had a great time and enjoyed the tame moose, springbok and Nyalas that just come to eat at the accommodation, it's an experience. Gawie and Marthie are very nice visitors and made us feel at home immediately. The dirt road to the farm was in good condition and we reached the destination without difficulty with a small car and a trailer. Best rooikrans braai wood bought from Marthie so no wood needs to be taken with you. It was something special to go for a walk in the wildlife camp and see all the different wildlife there up close. Feel free to take binoculars with you.
Great value for money, peaceful and quiet, beautiful location.
Beautiful, peaceful farm. Dogs loved it and were intrigued by the eland and springbok. Very friendly hosts and kitchen was well equipped (but take your own salt and pepper). There is some dirt road (about 15 kilometers) to get to the farm, but manageable in a standard car.
Very nice place and highly recommended! Peaceful setting, beautiful views, safe farm setting, private and romantic! Can't wait to go back!
Had a wonderful break with the wife and dog. Very nice people, lovely location and very tidy. Have a nice walk on the farm and wildlife that can be seen all the time! Would definitely recommend it.
If you are looking for tranquility this is the place for you. View wildlife from the porch.
Can enjoy the game and view from the window or patio.
Loved the cottage and the location, very tranquil on a little river with eland and springbok wandering past.
Wat 'n pragtige plek! Alles was uitstekend! Kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie! Selfs ons hondekinders vra wanneer ons volgende kuier gaan wees.
