175 guests' feedbackIt was fantastic. The jacuzzi was just the right temperature for the weather. The children could play well.
Yes, thank you very much, just take a look please. for spiders before you go to bed every night.
Love this spot! Will be back.
We were a group of 15 people, parents with teenagers and younger children, and everyone was happy. There was enough space for us to be together, but also apart. It was lovely by the river, and the jacuzzis were a winner. There was everything we needed.
The place was very neat. The air conditioning was handy with the heat in Velddrif.
Lovely place. Clean and well equipped. Loved the jacuzzi and the view.
The accommodation at Cloeteskraal Chalets met our needs for what we needed it for. A place to sleep while we explore Velddrif. The ablution and kitchen are very comfortable, clean and have everything you need. However, the caravan itself is very "busy" with ornaments, decorations and a colorful color scheme. You have to be careful when you put something down to find it again. We slept well and the air-con helped us out of a hot jam. Grateful for that. The "bath" we did not use and represents an easier form of shelter and access.
Received us very kindly and was very helpful. Chalets are very nice and tidy and the air conditioning was awesome for the hot days.
Great place to relax, but I was disappointed when we noticed all the reeds in front of the house, which prevented us from being able to fish.
We had a great stay in the caravan. It has everything you need and the bath was lovely!
It was quite fine and all, but it is just the cleanliness of the jacuzzi; they only clean it when you book in.
The place itself in theory has a lot of potential. Its location is really serene on the river banks with an actual hot tub and not the waste of time wood-fired one. An actual one. Unfortunately, when we got there, the place was very dirty and was clearly not cleaned before we arrived. There were spider webs between the bedding and walls, and the bathroom was mouldy. The toilet had stains in it, and when I walked out the sliding door to the hot tub, I was greeted by webs in my face and hair. There were also very unfriendly signs up about having to clean the chalet before you leave. Who wants to do dishes and clean when on holiday? They said we can contact them if we need assistance, but there was no signal or WiFi available, so we could not really get through to report the uncleanliness. The beds and pillows were also quite uncomfortable. To top off the experience, there were very rowdy guests in the chalet next to mine that kept us and our baby up till 11:30 pm. Overall not a great experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The chalet was clean and tidy and extremely well supplied with cutlery/crockery and all the extras. The jacuzzi was put on for us prior to our arrival, so it was nice and warm by the time we arrived. It was peaceful and tranquil.
We really enjoyed our stay at Cloeteskraal, a hidden gem, thank you Diane for making our stay as pleasant as possible. maybe a suggestion to hire out boats/canoeing will help increase revenue for you guys but other than that it's a perfect place and will definitely be back soon. love Cloeteskraal Chalets.
Would recommend it to anyone who wants to break away from the City.
See you soon. Was just what we needed.
Relaxation, pleasure for the eyes, peace of mind. Just what anyone needs for a real getaway.
Nice, amazing, quiet place.
We had a great stay, the owners really thought of almost everything to make it comfortable for us, except for one chalet's jacuzzi's temperature was so high that it could not be used. The owners should also perhaps think about a swimming pool and WiFi.
Just had a problem with the network. I would recommend WiFi.
One or two items to mention that are intended as constructive criticism but didn't really impact our stay very much. The main jetty requires some attention - it is very slippery when wet and many of the aluminum boards are loose and have sharp edges. The temperature of the hot tubs at some of the units was set too high and you're unable to access the thermostat to adjust it.
I enjoyed the river very much.
Fantastic location. I just think there is a lot more potential. For example, to cut open each cottage's jetties and make a path down to the jetties. The last jetty on the point is a bit dangerous for bare feet. More lawn. The houses are a bit incomplete with basic things. I feel there should be black bags, towel roll, decent washcloths, Handy Andy, coffee, tea, sugar and milk. Enough toilet paper. The bathroom mats are not so nice, a bit old. Cleanliness is just as important outside as inside. I killed a few button spiders under the wooden benches.
The owners of the getaway farm have thought of everything. From insecticide to emergency lighting if Eskom is struggling. I have never experienced such a clean glamping accommodation. Everything works. Wow, most beautiful view of the famous Bergrivier. My son and I really enjoyed the weekend. Thank you very much for the complimentary jam. Well done!
Will definitely go again.
The house is very tidy with everything you will need. The jacuzzi is clean and works 100%. The view is something special. It's quiet, beautiful, child-friendly and definitely a place to visit.
We were about 10 men. The men can't stop talking about my big meeting place Cloeteskraal. The chalets are very neat. We intend to go again at the end of November.
We had a very relaxing stay. Will be back.
If you are looking for tranquility in nature, Cloeteskraal Chalets is the place. With friends or family just to break away from the rat race. The units are equipped with everything you need and are very tidy. I would definitely recommend it.
It was incredibly fun. We needed the break and did not regret it at all. Restful. We will definitely be regular guests.
Can just relax and the fact that there is an indoor and an outdoor barbecue is so much nicer. Will definitely go again.
Really an amazing place with lots of privacy. Incredibly neat. The hostess is incredibly friendly and helpful. Definitely a hidden piece of gold. We will go back again and again!
Great location on the riverbanks and Diane is a lovely host that lets you be. The place was clean and the Jacuzzi which was the highlight of our stay was in full working order.
Beautiful place, cozy and very neat and clean. Beautiful view and the Jacuzzi definitely made our weekend. Our second time there, and will definitely come again. The owner always leaves a small cremation for their guests, thank you very much Diane, that's very nice of you.
Was nicely updated and very clean. Right on the water and each unit is very private. We had a lovely stay. Great getaway if you want peace and quiet and just want to recharge. Would go again! Had a great time.
See stars.
Great views and just an encredible location.
Wonderful getaway and rest for your soul.
We had a nice weekend and my wife and kids enjoyed them. They had a lot of fun playing games and the jacuzzi was tops.
The house is very well equipped, we didn't want anything more. The hot tub on the veranda was a wonderful relaxation and the indoor barbecue a big bonus. The silence of very little cell phone reception and very few TV channels was bliss with the rippling of the river in your ears. Finally, the two jars of jam were such a nice touch. We will definitely visit again.
Chalet was neat and owners definitely put in some extra effort to make the stay remarkable.
Cloeteskraal Chalets can be highly recommended. Thank you for the kind reception. Will visit again.
Have a nice relaxing weekend. Had a good time and the children had fun fishing. Will definitely visit again.
We stayed for 2 nights in the glampervan with attached kitchen and bathroom, and absolutely everything was perfect. From the most pleasant host Gerhard, to the quirky decor and air-con inside the caravan that was a God-send, this really was the perfect getaway for the 3 of us (hubby, myself and teen son). Everything a guest could need or want was thought of and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
See stars.
We enjoyed it. Will visit there again.
Very nice place, quiet and safe.
Thank you for a very peaceful little getaway. Great location to escape the city for a bit.
Neat, nice view in the morning when you get up over the dam, calm. No complaints, will definitely visit again.
The weekend getaway at this tranquil destination was good for the soul. The jacuzzi was a big bonus for extra relaxation. The place is clean and tidy with a nice view of the river in front of the chalet.
The best! Would book again!
Had a very relaxing weekend. Friendly host and easy access to accommodation.
Very cute nice quiet neat.
They have thought of everything because everything is there for you. You just take off your shoes, throw in the fishing line and you relax all weekend. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the caravan, kitchen and bathroom. Maybe could have cut the grass a little earlier but it didn't hurt our weekend at all. Would also suggest a UV insecticide as the mosquitoes and biting flies are many. It was our first time at Cloeteskraal but it will definitely not be our last.
Just right for a cozy river walk. Not big, but comfortable and clean. The indoor barbecue was a winner, air conditioning and the Jacuzzi on the veranda. Wonderfully quiet and peaceful and a big catfish was caught.
No. 4's "bar chairs" are almost as high as the table counter, it's uncomfortable to sit and eat. It needs lower chairs. The jacuzzi was lovely, on the veranda is sheltered from the wind. The grass outside is a bit long. A nice place with a nice view of the river. Ideal for people who want tranquility. The interior is equipped with the necessary. Luckily we packed camping chairs to sit at the barbecue area. It's great that one can stay up to 3 hours. Nice and private.
Lovely peaceful location. Everything comfortable and available in the accommodation. When we got there the jacuzzi was already on and warm. Easy to reach accommodation and a sweet little gift from hosts. Will be back soon.
Everything was absolutely amazing.
Caravan and kitchen are well equipped with everything needed for a nice cooling off break. We really enjoyed it and will definitely come again!
Wife and myself decided to go visit this place to relax and chill in the Jacuzzi. It was a relaxed weekend indeed.
No privacy, neighbors were still making noise long after 10pm.
Beautifully clean and tidy with a beautiful view.
Great place, everything we needed was available, would definitely visit again.
A definite recommendation for either winter or summer. Close to Cape Town and also central to other towns for a day trip.
Very nice stay. House has everything one needs. Owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Was our second time there and will definitely go back again!
My family absolutely loved the place and cannot wait to go back.
Very quiet, incredible view, clean and peaceful! We will definitely be back. We had a very nice stay at Cloeteskraal. The place was very clean and tidy. All the decor is very beautiful and the house is very cosy. We watched the sunrise the first morning when we woke up and it was breathtaking! The jacuzzi is a plus and we really enjoyed it. The fire burned inside all weekend and kept the house nice and warm. There is everything one needs inside the place. We feel rested! The 15:00 check-out time is also a big bonus, where at other places you have to be out by 11:00 at the latest. Thank you very much for a nice weekend.
Very good place for a quick weekend away.
Was a great weekend of just resting in peace without a noise and enough space for kids to just run and play. Only suggestion would be that the reeds in front of the fishing area should be cut a bit. Is a bit difficult for fishing.
It's quiet and relaxing. The chalets are perfect and very comfortable, and it has everything one could ask for, I surely would recommend it for friends and family.
Restful. Private. Clean.
Well equipped 2 bedroomed unit with 2 extra beds in living area. Out and indoor wood fire/braai facility. Jacuzzi and aircon were added bonuses. We enjoyed swimming, taking the boat down to Velddrif for brekkie, skiing, fishing and sundowners on the river. Such a lovely weekend away on a quiet part of the river.
Our hearts can never hold it when it's time to go home, we feel like we're floating when we get to Cloetskraal. Many thanks to the friendly and very helpful owners.
I will go back tomorrow if I can.
Nice visit, nice view.
Accommodation fitted out with all that is needed for a weekend stay. Jacuzzi and aircon a plus. Lovely Berg River is a stone's throw away.
It's a peaceful and beautiful place to go to in winter and even in summer. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and will definitely go again.
Had a great time. Place is neat and private. Calm and calming. Just what one needs after a hard week in the city. Nice for a romantic visit or with friends. Not far from Cape Town.
Friendly people and a beautiful location.
The perfect place for tranquility, the owners are as usual the friendliest people, so really worth your money. Looking forward to going again and again. Thank you very much.
This was a much needed weekend and was really ideal due to the isolation and tranquility. Nr 2 was very noisy but they needed their own type of fun. Nr 1 was flying a drone which on a personal level I have a problem with but everyone appeared to be enjoying their stay. The custodians/owners were prompt to deal with any issues. Everything was on hand. Remember to read the finer print on the invoice. During Covid time: no bedding. This is understandable and acceptable. I would go back in a heartbeat.
It is a very nice place on the river bank. Had a good summer fishing. The Jacuzzi was a hit. Also nicely grilled inside the house which made it nice and warm. We will definitely go back again.
We had a wonderful stay at Cloeteskraal! The cottage is comfortably furnished with everything you need, the Jacuzzi was a big hit and the view over the river and mountains in the background is beautiful. Great value for money, we will definitely be back again!
Jacuzzi was a little too hot for the hot days in Velddrif. An inquiry was made as to whether temperature could be adjusted, but no feedback was received. Will be lovely in the winter. Nice neat and clean place, but was shocked that cleaning is your responsibility, even washing the dishes. If you do not clean, fees are deducted from deposit.
A wonderful piece of peace on the banks of the Berg River. Very well equipped and beautiful interior decoration. The heated Jacuzzi is the cherry on the cake! Will definitely go back again.
It felt like home. I would go back anytime. My family and I can't wait to go again.
My wife and I came for a romantic weekend and it was just what we needed. Amazing barbecue wood too!
Would recommend Cloeteskraal to anyone. The tranquility is indescribable. We had a feast of a time. The house was nice and clean and the Jacuzzi deliciously warm. Will definitely visit again.
The house was very neat. The hot Jacuzzi when we arrived was so welcome in the cold weather. The kids sat by the river for hours to catch a fish which kept them from their cell phones. It was absolutely wonderful and we were able to relax.
Cloeteskraal offered everything we needed for a winter getaway. A private Jacuzzi, indoor fireplace and a cozy cottage. The place was neat and kitted with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Thank you to our hosts, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Incredibly nice place to break away. On the river with everything you need for a getaway. We got our new go-to spot and will definitely come back again! Jacuzzi on the veranda an absolute winner!
We were greeted at the gate and informed that the Chalet was open and the Jacuzzi had been turned on and ready for our arrival. The Chalet was clean and the view was endless. We had a peaceful and wonderful experience and would recommend this place to anyone wanting a out-of-town experience where you are free to do your thing and have fun all while feeling safe and comfortable at the same time. Thank you and hope to be back soon.
So much beauty right under our noses. Cloeteskraal Chalets is everything I hoped to get out of the weekend. It's a very neat place. The view is beautiful and the facilities lack nothing. I really recommend it.
The cottage is small but comfortable with everything you need. Can sit on the porch for days. Very nice and comfortable!
Was a real gem. Far from everything although close enough to the town that getting there is not a far ride. The bird life is incredible and sitting in a Jacuzzi drinking champagne, watching the full moon rise over the river will be a memory that will last through many stressful meetings. Although the kitchen was small, it was functional and, anyway, you spend most of the time outdoors.
Had a great weekend with another couple. Perfect place to switch off and relax. We swam in the river, had a nice braai and of course the Jacuzzi on the porch (with the most beautiful view of the river) is a winner. We will definitely go again.
Lovely spot by the river with fantastic birdlife.
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Cloeteskraal and would definitely recommend it. Diane is so kind and considerate and went out of her way to make sure the Jacuzzi was nice and warm when we arrived. There is only a little bit of maintenance that could be done on the unit we stayed in (for example, nails sticking out on the porch area and therefore not ideal for bare little feet) and the mattress in the master bedroom is a little tired for life, but these are only small things that will be easily corrected with time and did not hinder our getaway in any way. A suggestion would also be to perhaps include a bag or two of wood in the accommodation price and have it ready when guests arrive, as the destination is very far from the nearest shop. We will definitely visit Cloeteskraal again and also recommend it to friends and family.
Place was clean, quite and relaxing. Will visit soon.
The unit was neat and clean. There are a few things missing in the kitchen, such as a measuring cup, and you just have to know ahead of time that there is no coffee, tea or sugar. The Jacuzzi was deliciously hot on arrival and clean and the hostess made us feel very welcome. Would really recommend the place!
Lovely setting, especially if you have a boat. The river is sheltered and perfect venue for skiing. The chalets have all you need with inside and outside braai's and the Jacuzzi is a nice extra.
We would have appreciated a personal welcoming from the owner, because that way you get better information, for example about where to walk on the farm. The cut grass in front of the cottage made us feel like they were expecting us. The Jacuzzi op the porch was on when we arrived on Sunday, but the wind was ice cold. Monday afternoon the Jacuzzi was nice! Thanks.
It was very peaceful private and breathtaking, with family and friends it can also be a very exciting getaway. The chalets are also the few that are very well equipped with everything you need.
What a great place for a getaway. It is a quiet, peaceful atmosphere will definitely stay there again.
Private and peaceful next to the river.
The chalets are very neat and well equipped with everything one needs. It is very private and the atmosphere so calming, one can really find rest for the soul here. The indoor braai is very useful when it's raining or cold outside and the Jacuzzi was truly the highlight of the weekend! Thank you so much Diane, we will be back soon!
We really enjoyed the 4 days and came home with a heavy heart. It's quiet, private and has a breathtaking view of the river. Cloeteskaal we will surely see you again very soon.
Five star service, 24 hour people who are there to help if we need anything. We certainly couldn't ask for better! Thank you very much for an excellent weekend, the children enjoyed it immensely, our 4 year old caught his very first fish ever and it was better than Christmas for him. We will definitely visit again soon. I recommend Cloeteskraal to everyone, young and old. Many, many thanks for a lovely weekend.
Ons het dit vreeslik geniet, net om bietjie uit die stad te kom en te rus. Man het vis gevang, en ek het die Jacuzzi geniet. Lekker rustig.
Thank you very much Cloeteskraal, it was delicious. Everything was great. This is one of my favorite places ever.
Chalets are neat, well-equipped and perfectly located on the river. The chalets are a bit too close to each other to feel completely private, but it certainly did not ruin our weekend.
I would definitely return to Cloeteskraal for its rest and relaxation.
We had a wonderful stay. Perfect view, and the cottage has all the practical facilities needed. Our hostess was just a phone call away and very helpful. We will definitely go back again.
Great relaxing place, nature all around. I would suggest getting a little boat or canoe for the river. Jacuzzi is what really got us. The night sky is amazing as it is away from city. Nature comes in to the home so don't be alarmed for baboon spiders as their food is the bugs around. But all in all, I'll definitely be coming again.
Die Jacuzzi is die hoogepunt en die Bergrivier is so vreedsaam. Kinders het dit ook baie geniet.
The chalets are neat and well equipped, lighting was not enough outside by the braai at night. Bring stuff for mosquitoes, horseflies and midges. The area is clean and you can only see and hear nature.
We visited Cloeteskraal Chalets for a girls weekend. The chalets are very well equipped and we had everything we needed. Bedding and towels were supplied and very comfortable. Jacuzzi was amazing. We had an amazing time, thank you!
The chalets are just what one needs for a good break. We will definitely book the chalets again. I'll just bring Tabard plug-ins next time.
We enjoyed the stay. Everything was neat, clean, peaceful and quiet. Will definitely stay here again.
We were 3 families with small children who rented the 3 chalets for the weekend. The cottages are separate enough to have privacy but close enough to visit kiddies again and again. The Jacuzzi was the highlight for the children. The pool is a further away, so we did not really swim. The men fished from the lawn in front of the chalets. At one stage there were a lot of insects or something that passed through, but that's nature. The wind luckily blew them away later. Had a great weekend. Will definitely visit there again! Wonderful, quiet in nature.
Lekker vinnige wegbreek - nie te ver nie, elke oomblik baie geniet en die rustigheid het sielsrus gegee.
See stars.
A fantastic getaway destination for a totally relaxing time.
The place is definitely very peaceful. The pictures that are on the internet are not exactly what we got. It is advertised that there is a swimming pool under a canopy with play area etc. But the pool was no longer there at all. The Jacuzzi was nice, but there are hopelessly too many bag spiders. If they could just keep their hands on the houses it would be much better.
The cottage is very tidy inside with DStv and an indoor braai. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be able to function at all. Upon arrival we were greeted by hordes of biting flies and with a 2 year old this is a disaster waiting to happen. I understand it's part of nature, but surely there are ways to try to reduce it. The owner's opinion is that sometimes they are there, sometimes not. It would be appreciated if it could be mentioned on the advertisement for future guests. We could not use the Jacuzzi at all, except to also use it as a "death trap" for the biting flies. We will definitely not be returning to this place again.
It was a very pleasant weekend, would love to do it again.
Can highly recommend this accommodation. It offers the best view. Will definitely visit this place regularly.
At first we were skeptical about privacy because houses are close together, but it was wonderful with the tranquility. Definitely a West Coast gem and owners should look into 4x4 trail and camping sites on farm. We will be back soon with friends and family.
Can recommend Cloeteskraal.
Best place ever, clean, deserted, comfortable and damn beautiful. I rarely go back to the same place but the place will see me very often.
Awesome place to stay.
Lovely and peaceful accommodation with the most beautiful view over the river. Excellent Jacuzzi.
Cloeteskraal is just the best place to spend time quietly with your family/friends, well worth the effort, many thanks to the friendly owners.
Definitely worth the money and the cottage with Jacuzzi was fantastic. Lovely to look out over the river daily. The cottage was well maintained, clean and kitchen well stocked. Fantastic hosts.
We enjoyed the silence, the accommodation excellent, enjoyed our holes in the Jacuzzi, fishing was the highlight for me with the laaities, if you want to get away from the city Cloete Chalets is the place.
Had a great stay.
It is a peaceful, quiet getaway away from the bustle of the city, definitely going again. Very pleasant owners, were very helpful. We really appreciated it.
So lovely to be able to sit in the Jacuzzi every eve from where we could watch the river and birds. The trumpet flies are somewhat annoying when you lie in the sun, but not too much so as to spoil your vacation!
Perfect getaway from the busy city. Accommodation was neat, clean and had everything you needed. On some photos the units don't look private, but there are walls between the units that completely separate you from the neighbours. Perfect place to relax in the Jacuzzi and lie on the grass at night and watch the stars. Thank you Cloeteskraal, we will definitely come again.
A really great place to stay if you are looking for some peace and quiet and great scenery. Maybe some covered parking and an outside light at the back of house would be great as it would help coming back late at night.
The chalets are clean and value for money. We will most definitely return for a getaway but without our kids.The pool was unkept and dirty so the children could not swim and had to dip in the Jacuzzi. I have to say a very nice place if you are looking for an escape.
What an amazing relaxing place to stay. Was an awesome breakaway from city life. Love the Jacuzzi and the fact that the place was super clean. The weekend we went was a bit windy. We loved that there was an indoor braai and we had the option of an outdoor braai area if the weather had permitted. Really nice for a couple as well as a family.
It was lovely and quiet far from the bustling town. Will definitely go again. Lovely views.
Will definitely go back. Secluded and private, perfect for a weekend getaway from the city. Fantastic service and we felt at home.
It was fantastic. The cottage is very cute and very private. Nice and quiet and wonderful to look out on the river.
Wonderful, peaceful, safe little place to get away from everything and everyone.
Enjoyed the time there a lot.
We had a great time. Very peaceful and wonderful view of the river. The house is very nice, well equipped and I'm glad the TV is so small ─ children could entertain themselves with other things. All negative thing I can mention is that although we were told by LekkeSlaap that our check-out time is 15:00, the owner asked us to be out by 10:00 because there would still be people coming in.
Safe and exactly what we needed for the getaway. Thank you very much.
Very comfortable living with end of day Jacuzzi. The river is fantastic for fishing and boating. Loved the boat ride all the way down to Port Owen.
We really enjoyed our stay. Very loving and peaceful place and the owners are super nice people. The Jacuzzi was awesome as hell. Will definitely come back again.
We were received super friendly and haven't rested so well in a long time. The chalets are nice and private and conveniently close to Velddrif!
What a lovely little house on the river bank. And the Jacuzzi was lovely in the evenings. Definitely a place where you can recharge your batteries and see a chance again for the rest of the year! Will definitely visit again! It was a lovely long weekend getaway for me and my husband. Everything was clean and tidy and the tranquility was exactly what we were looking for.
We had a good barbecue. Delicious fat herders caught with cast net. Our daughter caught a leatherfish but released it. Boat ride down the river and next day up the river. We rested and slept wonderfully. Until the children rested and slept. Stayed until the last minute. Will do it again. Thank you very much Cloeteskraal.
We had a wonderful stay at Cloeteskraal. The setting is stunning and the chalet was spotless and serves all you needs. The indoor braai was a winner on the chilling winter evenings. We will be back.

This is a great getaway. Was very peaceful as we were the only people there.
We will definitely book again. The houses are a bit too close to each other and the trees/bush in between may not be sufficient in certain cases. Didn't find any umbrella for front lawn. It would also be nice if the river was more accessible, especially in the summer months. At the moment it may still be dangerous because the current is strong.
Great getaway to recharge batteries!
Very cute place. Very neat and clean. Would recommend people to stay there.
The indoor braai is so cozy and the aircon. Everything is available in kitchen. Nice and private. We went to restaurant and pub in Laaiplek for breakfast at Die Mond the food is delicious. Spar 15 km away, the chalets are wonderful! Take fishing gear with. We will definitely go again. The owners are very nice.
Recommend for it's location.

This was sufficient as our time for searching for accommodation was limited. We enjoyed the silence. A small freezer and better outside lighting especially at the outside barbecue should be looked into, please. An extra shower and separate toilet is highly recommended as the house can accommodate such a large group of people. The flies were just a problem and we were all bitten horribly by something in the house. We are still reeling from the result.
We wanted to stay by the river with the pool to watch the birds. Have no idea about the names of the units and then booked the "House in the Forest" where you can't even see the river at all. It is an old stable that they converted into a residential unit. The outside "pool" and grass were not cut at all and very unkempt. We then asked the owner if she could move us to one of the river units which at that moment had no people in them. They would only get people in at the weekend when we would be gone, but the owner didn't want to know anything. Everywhere on the walls there are hundreds of rules of what one may and may not do.
We really enjoyed it, DStv would be nice!
Brilliant location and views! Clean and tidy with everything that one needs. We had a great stay.
Clean well-kept chalets located on the banks of the Bergriver. Truly a place to relax when you want to get away from the urban jungle.
Great being so close to the river. Accommodation excellent and well equipped.
It is a good place to rest if you don't want to anything, but it is also near enough to visit places of interest in the area. It was nice and clean, and a safe place to stay. We enjoyed it very much.
Safe.
