183 guests' feedbackI booked a weekend for my uncles and they had the most amazing time. They can't stop talking about the great time they had and the peacefulness at the place.
The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The place was clean and nicely decorated. It was very peaceful and it's wonderful to wake up in such a quiet place. We will definitely go again if the opportunity arises. The beautiful cat that also came to visit also made it that much more enjoyable. We are very happy that we could make it our honeymoon place. It is also a very safe place.
We loved all of it. Kids could play on their own. Just wished we could stay longer, but we will definitely go back.
Kranskloof is the ideal place to stay with friends. It is very well located for trips in the area. The hostess pays attention to detail and is very interested in her guests' well-being.
If neat and what is needed is available. Beautiful and peaceful area, wish we could have stayed longer. Service was excellent.
Great overnight visit with visit to KKNK. Quiet safe environment and central location to explore the wonderful surroundings. Very neat stay with everything you need. We come again!
It was fantastic! We should have stayed longer!
The reception was friendly and the unit clean, spacious, cool and very comfortable. There was everything you need and we will definitely stay longer next time and braai is a must! The sparkling swimming pool was a cool bonus on a hot day and the lawns and garden with beautiful trees brought a wonderful tranquility to us. I recommend the stay with great confidence and can't wait to visit a little longer next time!
Clean and tidy - perfect for our needs.
Halfway between PE and Cape Town. Lovely garden, pool and room.
We had a great stay! Hospitably and generously received. Caring for people like nowhere else. And then the comfortable accommodation. Thank you very much Grandma and Team. We appreciate and can highly recommend the accommodation.
Friendly reception with all that is needed after a long drive. Thank you very much! Will use the place again when we drive through the Karoo again.
Very pleasant and comfortable, thank you very much.
Beautiful surroundings with neat, well appointed units. A very accommodating and friendly hostess.
Our stay was lovely and the staff were very helpful. We enjoyed making use of the pool and the surrounding grounds. The only 'negative' point was that the accommodation is listed as having WiFi, but it was virtually impossible to work remotely with the 10mbps connection at the venue.
It was a very pleasant place for a getaway.
Lots of insects, especially spiders, but I suppose it can be expected due to the location. Otherwise, the stay was pleasant and the place, especially the garden, is beautiful and well-maintained. We will definitely visit again.
It was a highlight of our visit in the Karoo, very friendly reception, clean and tidy. The stay at Kranskloof Country Lodge was beautiful and the space more than enough. The whole area with other houses and swimming pool is beautiful.
Unbelievable. This gem of a place just outside Oudtshoorn stole our hearts. More beautiful than beautiful at the foot of the mountains. Thank you for your hospitable reception. They go out of their way to make your holiday special. You don't sleep in your own bed at home, so we have to make it as pleasant as possible for you.
Very pleasant, comfortable venue. Great stop to stay to explore the area.
We had a warm welcome to a beautiful, cute cottage with a lovely view of the mountains!
Great safe space for little ones to run around.
Very friendly and helpful owner and staff.
1 day visit in Oudtshoorn. Kranskloof is ideal for a nice quiet evening.
The visit was nice and it was very convenient to be able to use the venue for barbecuing together in the evenings. All that bothered was that the WiFi didn't work most of the time.
Situated in picturesque, rural surroundings, yet close to the town, Cango caves, wine farm & other attractions. Comfy accommodation, beautiful night sky with stars.
Customer service was horrible - "non existent". Just to quickly summarize. There was no power or hot water all weekend and we only learned at the end of day 2 from another business in town that there was a problem in town that was being worked on. Couldn't make food or bottles (have a 2 year old) or shower. No help offered or communicated. Had to eat out all weekend so my 2 year old could get food, at least us adults could barbecue in the evening. Even when the power was on, there was no wifi reception at our house (I'm not talking about signal, I'm talking about the actual modem). And when I went to ask about it, there was a lot of unfitness, only to be told that it should simply be collected at our house.
The hosts were so amazingly friendly and helpful, the location is out of this world and the accommodation was fantastic, we will definitely recommend them to all that we know and when we can will definitely be booking there again. Thank you for everything.
Will definitely stay at Kranskloof Country Lodge again. Friendly and hospitable. A must for any person.
We were friendly received by Christo and immediately felt at home. The surroundings are beautiful with a tree-rich garden. Our unit was homely, neat and clean and offered good value for money. Christo later checked in on us to make sure everything is in order. It was a privilege to see some of the farm animals a few meters from us. We will definitely visit here again. This is a true oasis in the Karoo and close to several attractions. Due to a pre-planned program, we could unfortunately not stay longer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts helped with any issues while our kids loved playing with the dog and cat, even following the dog for an unsupervised hike! Perfect venue to access all Oudtshoorn has to offer.
Christo made so much effort. Everything was neat, peaceful and we will definitely stay there again!
Kranskloof is so beautiful. And the service was top notch. If we could have stayed longer we would have.
Beautiful area between the mountains. Close to Congo Caves.
The farm atmosphere allows a city kid to relax well. Just had too little time to enjoy and drink everything in.
We had a great time there - nice houses, very clean.
It's an ideal farmhouse with friendly and helpful service. We had such a nice stay and will definitely stay there again next time.
Very green garden with refreshing pool and lots of birds on this sheep farm in the Karoo. Had all the utensils needed in this farm cottage.
Have a nice overnight stay before you venture into the Swartberg Pass.
I would certainly stay here again with the spectacular scenery, and rustic farm-like experience. Close to Cango Caves, about a 10-minute drive.
Felt very welcome on arrival.
Friendly service and the most beautiful area, will definitely recommend Kranskloof to others.
It was very nice. The children enjoyed all the animals (sheep, goats, horses etc.). The view is beautiful and it is situated in a nice and peaceful area. Wollie, the Border Collie, made us feel instantly at home and the children enjoyed him tremendously. Will definitely stay there again.
The owners are very friendly and helpful and my daughter loved their dog Wollie, played very well with her. Pool is a plus. Will book again at Kranskloof.
Will definitely make a trip there again.
Kranskloof Lodge is an excellent place to stay. It's very clean and tidy as well as very centrally located to visit all the attractions in and around Oudtshoorn. The owners are very friendly and helpful and willing to go that extra mile. It is also very quiet, peaceful and safe to drink in the beauty of nature. I would definitely recommend Kranskloof Country Lodge to other visitors. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Nice farm atmosphere with old-fashioned homesteads to stay in. All essential facilities with swimming pool. Definitely on our list to stay again.
I was received very kindly and given clear directions. The communication was good. Lovely, peaceful farm atmosphere and I really enjoyed the indoor barbecue and patio. Very clean and tidy, spacious rooms and good value for money. I recommend them boldly.
Rustic, very comfortable and full self-catering unit with beautiful views. Spacious stoep with braai facilities, undercover parking. The small farm has a pool, also a few sheep and other animals a short walk away. A beautiful location, next to a restaurant and vineyard. The patrons are very friendly and helpful. Great place to relax or explore Oudtshoorn, not far from Cango Caves.
Would recommend Kranskloof and definitely visit again.
We had a great time. It's a beautiful environment.
Owners very hospitable and helpful. Nicely located. Cottage well equipped. Close to Biblical Garden at NGK in Schoemanshoek. Just don't visit when onions are being harvested in the valley!
Kranskloof was a very convenient overnight destination.
Very neat and cute. Just be aware - a bit smaller than expected in photos, but very cute and lovely farm atmosphere. Will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful service and hospitality and we were able to buy wood to make a fire etc.
The reception was friendly and sincere.
Wanted peace and quiet and seclusion.
Nice and quiet and out of the city's noise.
The accommodation is very central and it is very peaceful. The place is very nice green with a nice garden that bothers a little are the sheep that are +/- 20 meters from the house.
Quiet country living, not bad. Helpful owner.
It was a pitiful little place and a lot to see for small children. But it is not very safe for toddlers. Our house was near a pond and the swimming pool was not enclosed either, the trampoline itself was not enclosed. So it's more of a grown-up place than kid friendly.
I will definitely rebook this lodge for a longer stay. If you seek a calming and still environment to relax, Kranskloof tick all the boxes for a pleasant stay.
Very neat. Very pretty. Value for money. Will definitely be back and have already recommended it to people.
Very conveniently close to all the attractions, wine farms and game farm. Clean and tidy and perfect for a family. Child friendly with space for cycling and a swimming pool. We were very kindly received and will definitely return again.
Hospitable owners who go out of their way to accommodate you as a client. I would definitely recommend. The surroundings are beautiful and the lodge is well located for the attractions.
The hosts, Christo and his wife were super friendly. The premises is taken care of and the cottage had all the necessary facilities. The place is clean and it is very safe. We could even buy dry wood at a very reasonable price from the lodge. I would recommend Kranskloof for a holiday for its tranquillity and beautiful views.
The owners were very friendly and we found our stay very comfortable.
See stars.
Very close to nature. The place is very neat and clean and the owners are very friendly and helpful. We only stayed for one night and the cottage has everything we need. The beautiful swimming pool and the walking path were particularly nice.
The apartment was very clean and tidy. Everything we needed was available. The view is breathtakingly beautiful!
I will be booking with them again this year.
It is a great destination for anyone. Everyone is so friendly and it's so peaceful there. Everything is extremely neat, we can say absolutely nothing bad.
The cottage was very nice. Basic amenities, but everything you need. We experienced only one problem. The geyser or pipe in the roof was dripping on the ceiling all evening. In the stillness of the night it was very loud, so we didn't get much sleep.
Will definitely be back next year when we do the Meiringspoort half marathon. Venue is great if you have kids. Cango and crocodile farm very close by as well.
Between small farms and smallholdings, the cute cottages fit in well. The facilities are simple, but only what one needs to relax. The unit was clean, safe and close to Oudtshoorn, the caves and the Swartberg Pass. But for me the architecture of the cottage, typical Cape farmhouse and the fireplace was absolutely charming!
The host and hostess are very helpful and made sure everything is in order.
Friendly service, beautiful surroundings and old workers' cottages that have been beautifully restored.
The Kranskloof Country Lodge is situated in a lovely farm setting. It is close to the town centre, the Cango Caves, good restaurants and also ostrich farms. The accommodation is basic, but comfortable and spotless. There is also a very welcome swimming pool.
Kranskop is ideal for a family with children who love the outdoors. The porch and braai area with a view of green lawns is perfect. There is also enough privacy at each residential unit.
Baie lekker en eienaars baie vriendelik.
Our accommodation was pleasant. The reception was wonderful. The unit was looked after well. The garden is spacious, cool and beautiful. It was the ideal place to sleep over for us before we continue you the Swartberg Pass and Gamkaskloof.
It was lovely and peaceful te rest here before we had to take the long road back to Gauteng. We really wanted to stay longer!
It was really fun and worth it. Management is extremely friendly and very helpful. Children really enjoyed it, especially with all the sheep and animals around us. Place is nice and peaceful, quiet and beautiful environment with many birds. Amenities are more than enough.
Meets all my expectations. Place atmosphere.
Uncle Christo, thank you very much for a wonderful time on Kranskloof. You met all our needs and more. Thank you for the comfortable, socializing, playing atmosphere that prevails there. Much love, blessings and full rain gauges is our wish for you.
Very friendly reception. Thank you for the lovely quiet, peace and lekker wegbreek sonder tierlantyntjies.
We were kindly welcomed by the owner, and we really enjoyed the place. We stayed in three places for the holiday and I have to say I enjoyed this stop the most. Oudtshoorn has so many activities and things to do. This cottage has met all my expectations and I can see the owner is making a lot of effort to build this place nicely. I will definitely consider the place again.
We were received very kindly. The place was neat and clean. Had a nice stay over the weekend.
There were no basics such as soap or shower gel, shampoo and a hairdryer. Although the location and host were good, the overpowering manure smell was unpleasant, the room and furniture were tired and basic supplies were not supplied. The host did supply us with a hairdryer upon request.
Nice comfortable room, beautiful gardens. Ceiling fan in yellow needs to be balanced, made a sound through the night. Perhaps also place something at window for flies, as the sheepkraal is right next door. The lawnmower was a bit noisy on arrival when we wanted some peace and quiet. But overall, a good experience, and will stay here again
The owners are friendly and helpful. The place is quiet and peaceful.
Beautiful and neat gem in Oudtshoorn. Owners are friendly and helpful. Pool is an absolute bonus during the hot summer months.
Homely and friendly. It's a nice visit.
Uncle Christo is fantastic. Immediately felt at home.
Lovely farm atmosphere with a very nice stoep and braai area at each cottage. They even provided the wood for barbecue. Will definitely stay here again in the future.
Lovely peaceful place, will definitely come again. Thank you for your hospitality.
It was a fantastic stay, just very short. The relaxing atmosphere and friendly service by the owners was excellent. Will definitely go back.
Place cottage at its best.
Lovely accommodation that is well equipped and has a nice outside area for visiting and barbecuing. The pool is an absolute feast for the hot summer days. Easy to also jog or cycle as an activity.
Our stay at Kranskloof was very enjoyable. My husband and I chilled by the braai appreciating the view and watching our children have a ball in the pool. Our hosts were very friendly and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
We had a very restful time. The unit was equipped with heaters and hot blankets. It was located centrally for what we intended to explore of the area. Was beautiful with open spaces and a trampoline for the kids. Nice area for mountain biking.
We booked our accommodation at Kranskloof because we wanted to be close to the Kango Caves. We were very impressed with the layout of the room and all the amenities provided. Definitely a very comfortable place!
It is a very nice and peaceful place with very good customer service. A getaway to refresh your soul!
Lovely, beautiful area in the farmlands. Wonderful view. Nice for hiking and cycling. Comfy unit and nice braai.
The website doesn't have the apartment we stayed in, we thought we're staying in one of the cottages. We were a bit surprised when we got there. My husband and son were also disappointed that there was no TV in the apartment. I might have also thought twice if I knew I would need to climb so many stairs after running a marathon! Other than that, our stay was comfortable. It's a very peaceful and quiet place. Ideal for nature lovers and those who want to get away from the busy city life. The place is very neat and clean and we cannot fault anything. Everything we needed was right there, the people were friendly and we enjoyed our stay. It was good value for money.
We had a very nice stay.
Good reception, peaceful atmosphere and beautiful view, felt nice and relaxed during the stay. Place was pretty neat. Can keep some information leaflets and books/magazines available in accommodation for good reading material.
Will stay here again. Nice for kids and love farm atmosphere. Houses very cute and neat. Just bring your own ice.
We were three men and the room had one double bed and one single bed. Website did not make this clear during booking! Would have preferred three single beds.
Beautiful surroundings, spacious and comfortable cottage.
It's a beautiful environment with the small farm community near by, which really contributes to the farm atmosphere and it's very safe. George is only 70 km from here and is therefore a central location for an overnight stay to visit all the tourist attractions.
A pleasant experience in peaceful surrounds.
Especially the obnoxious smell of the sheep!
Peaceful, quiet and the kids loved the pool.
Hospitable and had a great stay!
Home away from home. The unit was neat and comfortable with all the facilities we needed. Would definitely return!
Beautiful and peaceful place allowing you to stay away from crowds and chaos. Very hospitable and accommodating owners. We will definitely come back.
The owners are very friendly and helpful. Was the right choice to stay at the last night before I got married. Was quiet and the view is beautiful. Accommodation is better than advertised and would definitely suggest staying here. Would definitely like to go back again.
Nice open with good view and quiet.
Quiet place and neat. Would stay there again anytime.
Everything is good quality, from the mattresses to the towels! Friendly, interesting owners. Beautiful garden, lounge and bedrooms. We would sleep here again!
Warm welcome, we felt at home and we really enjoyed the beautiful nature and the marvellous view. Recommendation: leave 1 of 2 bags of wood on the patio with a note with the price so people can just leave the cash in the house if they use it.
We stayed in the green cottage, it was the one with the most privacy. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool so much and it was kept very clean. My fiance had to turn of the pest control that was outside as it was making a high pitched noise but I couldn't hear it. We enjoyed our stay very much as it was close to all the tourist attractions but yet it was nice and quiet. Karusa wine estate is just around the corner so that was a big plus for us as well. The only thing I would say to improve was maybe putting something up for the flies as there were quite a bit of them.
Good value for money, clean and friendly service at all times.
Really enjoyed the stay wish it could have been longer.
Lovely stay in a beautiful setting close to attractions. Some of the kitchen items are unfortunately not clean and this detracts from the general cleanliness of the cottage.
Good location and close to activities for young and old.
Kranskloof offers pleasant accommodation in a beautiful environment with large open spaces. The house we stayed in was neat and clean. Good value for money. Highly recommend.
Well located on a quiet farm near the town.
Kranskloof offers good value for money. Even though the accommodation isn't modern (it consists of revamped workers' houses) it is still neat and the facilities work. The gardens are beautifully kept and there is a big variety of birds to watch. Can be recommended for people with young children.
We enjoyed the stay and everything was spotless and neat. Clean towels and enough warm blankets. If I have to be critical, the beds and pillows are terrible! In the children's room area the plugs were dangerously located, right above the children's pillows! The kitchen leaked during the rain and we had to put towels on the floor, manageable though. For some reason the Jacuzzi started making a noise, blowing, in the middle of the night and only stopped by turning off the plugs at the main switch. And the children's bathroom drain smelled real bad. Other than that we had a good rest.
Rooms flooded with heavy rain - no apology or help offered with cleaning etc.
It was a lovely weekend and a stunning and peaceful place with a great view.
We had a lovely time. It's everything we thought it would be.
We arrived at this beautiful lodge and it was just as stunning as the pictures on the website. The owner and his wife were very friendly and willing to assist with anything. I would recommend this place to anybody with or without kids.
The greenhouse we stayed in was neat and clean. Friendly reception from Gerald. The house is comfortable, but the stove didn't work and the pots are too small to cook anything anyway, and the stove looked very old and needs replacing. There are no salad bowls in the house. There is only a closet in the main bedroom with hanging space but no shelves for clothes and this is also the case in the second bedroom. There was no fan and it was very very hot in the second bedroom. The main bedroom had a fan but it is very small and in the Karoo during the summer it can get to 40° and then that fan is not sufficient. The grounds are well-kept and otherwise neat. Had a nice cool-down in the swimming pool.
Our cottage was just nicely furnished. TV in separate room with single beds for the children, and another room for mother and father. Beautiful rural setting with rest for the soul.
We so enjoyed our time there, and this with the rain. There were a few problems and we reported it and they immediately fixed it. The place is very well located and nice and quiet. True farm atmosphere. We enjoyed it a lot and will return anytime. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
Nice and peaceful atmosphere, centrally located - a short distance from everything, definitely a place to enjoy when on a relaxing holiday.
We enjoyed it. It was pretty basic but quiet and good value for money.
Everything we needed was there. Beds super comfortable and the service was excellent!
Feel free to see the stars.
Customer service was great, cleanliness accessible, location fantastic and safety accessible. Unfortunately, no one in our family could get any sleep, due to a water pipe in the roof that was making such a loud noise every 30 minutes, that everyone was awake! I think that it was the geyser's water pipes, but as mentioned sleep is a matter of impossibility due to the tremendous noise that the pipes caused. They will really have to look into this!
Calm atmosphere. Very nice, clean and peaceful. Will definitely stay there again.
Would be nicer if it were warmer in the houses! The rooms of the blue house are separate, so have to go through the porch to the children. Kitchen small and little space for cooking. Also not comfortable to grill - have to walk around the porch. Also very cute - at least located close to tourist attractions.
The cottage was not well maintained, but it was dealt with. After that it was cleaned every second day ─ not very well though. The environment is beautiful and we feel well rested.
Nice houses. Would suggest the cottage gets a bit of a facelift. White, crisp sheets will also help.
Get single bed after asking for double bed, first night on honeymoon? Wanted to watch the rugby, DStv's message said that subscription had not been paid so that was not possible either? No coffee making facilities. Would not simply recommend to others.
The location is excellent, but the house was dirty and dusty. The cutlery is of poor quality. Cupboards inside dirty. Garden furniture is scarce. The door frame is 1.80 meters high so our heads bumped against the frame and it is unpleasant. No firewood. The resort compares poorly with the rest of Oudtshoorn.
The place isn't clean. The toilet is dirty, the patio isn't clean, the towels has to be changed, the bathroom door is hard to open and the shower doesn't storage space for your amenities. There are 2 canles, but no matches, and there aren't any heaters or electrical blankets and no dishcloths. We booked for three but there was only coffee for 2. I the accommodation is meant for hikers, not for pensioners.
We will recommend Kranskloof Country Lodge to all our friends and family. We had a great time for the weekend. The owner is very courteous and helpful and friendly. The owner immediately made us feel at home. We are going to Kranskloof Country Lodge again next year. Thank you very much for the nice weekend, we enjoyed it very much.
The property was clean and amenities were adequate. Jo Anne was also very friendly and helpful. Very good value for money and will visit Kranskloof again.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and unfortunately it was just too short. Didn't want to go home and would definitely stay there again. Already recommended to friends and family.
Friendly staff. I will stay there again.
We stayed in the Yellow unit which sleeps 5. A lovely little house that offers privacy with the patio facing away from the others. The unit was nice and clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy our evening.
Please see the stars.
Clean and tidy, excellent location and service. Great family vacation spot. We would go back any day.
Nice location, all kinds of things to do nearby.
We were only here for one night but found it beautiful, really recommendable and we would like to come back.
It was pretty cold when we were there, but we slept warm.
Beautiful view. Close to all attractions. Quiet, peaceful and spacious.
Ideal for longer stays. Too far out of town for a one night stay.
The lighting is insufficient at the "frying drum". The bathroom door could not close properly, light bulbs were out of order. The dogs were a bit troublesome (maybe it was our own fault - because we paid attention to them). Furthermore, it was wonderful, Jo-anne was very friendly and very helpful, and she was willing to go the extra mile. Fireplace is a winner.
Small repairs must be done before guests arrive, e.g. lights that don't work, toilet broken and bathroom door slamming. Small improvements can make the place outstanding, e.g. loose mats in front of the beds, upgrading bedding, clips on doors to keep them open, etc.
Would recommend it, peaceful atmosphere, and rooms nice and clean.
Old buildings but well appointed. No air cooling - only roof fans. One was broken. Oudtshoorn was very hot! Kranskloof is located next to a pig farm. The stench was sometimes bad.
What a price to pay to return to earth. Would recommend but with a caveat, read the guest books. Friendly dogs.
Yellow Cottage really needs a "spring clean"... from roof to floor, including the curtains. While it's "rustic" and we have no problem with that, it shouldn't be shabby and spotlessly clean is a definite requirement. We stay in this type of accommodation a lot and are not full of fiemies, but this cottage needs more than just a quick cleaning before the next guests check in. The staff were helpful and the grounds tidy. The dogs made us feel at home. I would not recommend it to a friend in the current state.
We arrived tired and hot at a resort with green lawns and a cool pool. The quaint little houses had a unique beauty. When we met the owner, he apologized for our stay from the start. the reason was that his manager had threshed a short time before and that he (the owner) does not stay nearby and is now sitting with the baked pears. Our accommodation looked like a hartbeef cottage. With 5 big bodies, he put us in a tiny place. There was no living room and the TV was in one of the bedrooms with 2 single beds where you couldn't even put a chair. The kitchen was unacceptable. The freezer part of the fridge was so frozen that we had to rip it open. Everything was dusty. The drawers contained dead insects and a thick layer of dust. I literally washed EVERYTHING I used before I could use it. He also indicated that there was a bat problem. As farmers from Zululand with our own lodge, we absolutely understood that with the foam balls on the roof of the house, BUT when I found two live baby bats on my bedside table cloth, it was too bad! My husband and son had to take the stupid things out without my daughters seeing them! The sad part of the whole situation is that this resort is located in the farthest and most beautiful part of the valley. On the very wobbly wire chairs while we were barbecuing, we couldn't even appreciate it because the bushes right in front of us, above the river were so bushy!
We used Kranskloof for a central place to stay to visit surrounding attractions.
Pleasant stay; friendly reception No problem at all.
Simple accommodation, however remote.
Weekend accommodation for Meiringspoort half-marathon.
It's a great place, kid friendly, peaceful and pet friendly. The attention to the smaller details makes the stay so much more enjoyable. Will definitely go again!
A beautiful garden and view of the mountains. A comfortable cottage. Great for cycling. Dogs were a welcome "added extra" for our seven-year-old daughter. Would love to go again in the spring.
We were received kindly and got good advice on where to eat. Very friendly dogs!
See the stars below.
An oasis in a very hot region! Nicely located that we could visit the Caves and wash our feet in the sea at Victoria Bay on the same day. Thanks for all the information and the discount at the ostrich farm.
We were kindly received and welcomed. Felt at home and enjoyed the farm feel. The winter sheets were a great asset in the freezing winter cold. The cottage was cold, but thank goodness for asbestos heaters on the wall. It made a difference. Thanks also to DStv. We could follow the football and Wimbledon and it was great. Coffee, tea and sugar were available and came in handy.
Plenty to do for children, nice path to walk/jog, nice barbecue.
Had a great time.
I expected there to be a TV.
Friendly reception; comfortable accommodation; will come again
