112 guests' feedbackThank you very much for a wonderful few days, uncle. We had a nice time. The environment is so quiet and peaceful. We had fun exploring the surroundings.
Value for money with great attention to detail from the host.
Yes, we had a nice stay. There were only two things that spoiled the visit: 1) The bed's mattresses were uncomfortable. 2) We did not enjoy the convenience of the TV at night, it was out of order from day one.
We had a very nice stay.
The stay was very nice.
Had a nice stay and slept.
Old style (not modern). Clean, tidy. Plenty of place to sleep.
Very nice. Value for the rate being asked.
Very friendly welcome by uncle Gawie, place very tidy, would recommend it for sure.
We had a great time at Uncle Gawie's place.
Had a great stay and slept over. The place is clean, tidy and the environment is nice and quiet. Will definitely stay at the accommodation again in the future.
Uncle is an absolute host and nothing was too much trouble for him. The house was very neat and you get a lot of space for a good price. The big advantage is being only 30 minutes away from the nearest waterfalls/tourist attractions. The accommodation costs are tied to the number of people per night rather than a fixed price for the house per night (which can be very beneficial). There is covered parking and a car gate. Nice view of the large lawn from the backyard and parking area.
We only stayed one night but had a really nice time. There is a lot to do around Oom Gawie's place - very close to town but far enough to be very peaceful. Next time we will stay longer and do more! Very neat and safe! Friendly welcome. Would recommend it! Everything you need.
Oom Gawie's name fits his personality perfectly. Uncle Gawie is incredibly friendly and helpful and it was a feast to stay there. The house speaks volumes of Uncle Gawie's character, it feels like you are visiting your grandma and grandpa again and everything is just comfortable and you feel at home. Everything is nice clean and tidy, very comfortable and central to all attractions. Uncle Gawie went out of his way to show us the place and make things nice for our boy too. Our 18-month-old boy was kept busy with the outdoor life and amenities that Oom Gawie made available. Large areas inside the house and large areas outside with cute play areas for the children. Thank you Uncle Gawie, we will definitely visit again!
Will definitely be back.
We were there during the illness and then the death of our son. We also recommended our friends and family to Oom Gawie's place. Unfortunately, our family had already booked at another place, but were very disappointed with their accommodation and very impressed with Oom Gawie's Place. They and our friends will definitely use Oom Gawie's Place again. The tranquility was just what we needed after our great loss. Uncle Gawie and his helper, Sara, were just the best. Our little house was cleaned every day and what impressed me the most was that we got clean towels every day. We will definitely go there again and definitely advertise Oom Gawie's Place far and wide.
Nice, natural safe location. Peaceful and quiet. Beautiful mountain view. Natural stream flowing nearby. Safe place for children to play.
Very nice stay at Oom Gawie's Place. It is very tidy with everything you could need. Will come again.
The units were spacious and tidy. There is a very large reception area with tables and chairs that everyone can use with enough seating for probably 40 people. We enjoyed it terribly. There were no problems such as lights not working. Very friendly and helpful.
Nice big units away from town.
It's a basic place to stay that is clean and tidy and everything you need is there. It should be part of a trip that you explore during the day, not a visit-and-stay-there-long place.
The house had lots of beds, even the living area had beds and no sofas. The kitchen was way too small and it only had one frying pan.
Well received. Friendly service. Will stay there again.
Uncle Gawie's houses have everything. You really only need to take your clothes and food with you. Furthermore, everything is there. It's so peaceful, beautiful there and you find peace for your soul there. If you go to Sabie, feel free to book in at Oom Gawie's Place.
Oom Gawie is a very friendly and accommodating host. Even with the current "loadshedding" challenges it was planned for and we had a great overnight stay. This is definitely going to be our place from now on when we are in the Sabie area!
Out of all the places we've been, this is really our number 1 place. What a considerate uncle. Friendly, helpful. Would recommend Oom Gawie's place anytime. We need more people like him in the world. It was special.
The place was beautiful and the service provided by Oom Gawie was unforgettable.
Oom Gawie made us feel at home immediately and he showed us around. Good location to stay and drive around to see attractions. Will definitely go back. Great place for cyclists, bicycles locked behind gates at night.
Uncle Gawie was very considerate of our needs. The units are very well equipped, functional, clean and every possible thing has been thought of to make it comfortable for the customers. We really enjoyed visiting there, and will definitely go again.
Uncle Gawie is a very friendly and helpful person, he tries to make the places as comfortable as possible, even accessories that I have never found at other places. I would highly recommend Oom Gawie's place.
Feeling like we are visiting family. Als was just right. No effort was too much for Oom Gawie. He and Saar pretty much carried us on their hands. Would recommend his place to anyone. Nicest place to stay ever.
The owner is very friendly. Rooms are neat and well furnished. We had a nice stay.
It was the second time we stayed at Oom Gawie's place and once again enjoyed it very much. Nice and quiet, clean and value for money. Uncle Gawie once again made us feel truly at home and also came to see me off at the cycling competition.
Not quite the lap of luxury or very modern lodgings, but a nice, quiet place. Would be ideal for a large group of friends. Take care of the road to Oom Gawie-it requires slow driving and careful attention.
Comfortable stay, gravel road in not such a good condition.
We had a very nice stay. Everything you need is available in the cottage. It's clean and tidy. Uncle Gawie gives good service.
Our stay was very pleasant. Uncle Gawie was incredibly friendly and you could take his place through a ring. We are definitely going to book accommodation with uncle Gawie again.
The unit is very well equipped with everything you need. The outdoor barbecue area is lovely.
Very pleasant atmosphere. No noise and traffic. Loved how we were received. No interference with our comings and goings. Loved what we experienced.
Very pleasant and friendly.
After we had to cancel due to medical problems Uncle Gawie offered to keep our deposit for a later date. Our time at Uncle Gawie's was very pleasant, we had a great time with him and will definitely go again for longer. Thank you, uncle Gawie, it was nice to get to know you and hope to stay there again soon.
We had a great time at Oom Gawie's Place. The apartments are safe, beautiful and tidy. Everything we needed while exploring the area during the day and competing in the MacMac Ultra Marathon at the weekend was there.
Thank you very much uncle Gawie for the nicest weekend in a very long time. Thank you so much uncle for making us feel so at home. Oom has a gem of a place and we are very much looking forward to visiting again soon.
Oom Gawie's place is neat, comfortable and centrally located. There was everything we needed and more. Friendly service with a genuine hard. Uncle Gawie's humanity was cut out from my late grandfather so it was good to be able to experience my grandfather one last time. I will stay there again. Blessings for Sabie and all its residents.
Very nice, very neat and clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Will go again.
I found Oom Gawie se Plek to be very clean with all the necessary household items needed for a short stay. The accommodation is located in a great location near natural sightseeing destinations. The value for money provided by the accommodation is therefore very good.
See stars.
Experiencing excellent hospitality.
Gawie is very hospitable and knows the area well. He repaired our car free of charge after an encounter with a Boer goat.
The place is beautiful and surrounded by green vegetation with a very small river. The sound of birds from the vegetation is so beautiful too.
Oom Gawie is bedagsaam en baie vriendelik. Hy gee om vir sy gaste. Hy laat jou tuis voel. Sal definitief weer daarnatoe gaan.
One of the most beautiful places I have ever experienced, the stream with the massive elephant tracks and pig ears made it for me. Oom Gawie's kindness and commitment make us book with him again for our next low-veld adventure.
No complaints. Gawie is pleasant and everything is right and in place.
Uncle Gawie made a unit available at short notice. The units are very neat and clean, with everything you need to spend the night. He went the extra mile to help us get to our starting point for the Fanie Botha hiking trail, as well as allowing us to leave our vehicle there for the few days. He is a great host and I would definitely recommend his place.
Great. No comfortable chair.
What was exceptional about this stay was the effort that Oom Gawie made to help us visit the most attractions in the time available to us. He provided us with a full guide with maps and details to keep with us. We were received very warmly and uncle Gawie was very helpful.
Nice people, no disturbances and excellent location.
The amenities are a bit old, but everything works, is neat and clean. Gawie is very nice. Needs nothing more for a family - it met all of our expectations.
The area is clean and tranquil and you feel at home. Oom Gawie welcomed us with open arms and that made you feel relaxed after a long journey from Nigel.
Gawie was so friendly on greeting us and ensured we would have a lovely stay. I would recommend this place to anyone. It is cosy with pretty furniture and fantastically clean. It's really safe and the facilities are some of the best. Feel free to stay here and enjoy it.
I can definitely recommend Oom Gawie se Plek. The host is very friendly and full of advice, and the accommodation well equipped and comfortable. Will make use of them again. It has lots of space for children to play. Thank you!
Very friendly welcome by oom Gawie himself. Went through a lot of trouble for guests at all the restaurants in Sabie as well as a map of all the attractions in and around Sabie. Will definitely stay there again. Thank you, oom Gawie, you really make everyone feel welcome and like they can stay for longer.
Oom Gawie gives everything to the guests, the rooms are very comfortable, and everything is very neat and clean. We will be back there again soon.
Owners are friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend the place.
Very well located, quiet, tidy, spacious, pleasant atmosphere, strangers become friends here. If I could I would have stayed longer.
See the stars.
We stayed in apartment nr 5. Very clean and neat. Everything you need is in the unit. Very peaceful. Very enjoyable stay and will definitely visit again.
Oom Gawie was very friendly and helpful. He made sure that we had electricity in our unit despite the power outage in town. He has a lot of knowledge about local attractions and is always available for any enquiries. Our unit was spacious, neat and had everything that we needed. Will definitely visit again.
Nice and clean and as big as a house.
Our stay was pleasant. Oom Gawie makes an extraordinary effort to make guests feel at home.
We are disappointed because on the website they told us that the accommodation was wheelchair friendly and it wasn't at all. The serves was all right but the person with a disability couldn't function in a normal way.
We really enjoyed the location and the place. It was more than enough for the 3 of us, for a weekend and even longer. We were received with care and love. It made the stay even more special. Thank you very much for a peaceful and nice weekend.
Very friendly, excellent value for money, and good location.
I long back to our time at Oom Gawie's Place! Fully equipped apartment. The owner has so much passion for what he does. There were menus of the restaurants in the area and numerous leaflets of the attractions and activities, from Sabie, Hazyview, Graskop, etc. The Uncle even has files with printouts from the internet with interesting information. Wonderful!
I will book at Oom Gawie se Plek again and recommend it as well. Friendly reception was amazing. Clearly he and his wife know how to make a person feel at home. Thank you very much again.
It was the most wonderful holiday. It was beautiful everything the reception was off the books.
Uncle Gawie is lovely. He likes to help where he can. His place is excellently equipped with everything you need. It really surprised me. It is very neat and clean. It's very easy to find the place and I will definitely recommend the place to other guests. I will definitely stay there again!
We will definitely come back again. Had a great time. Everything is there, just bring clothes and food.
Arrived late, host still friendly! Allow me to stay longer next day and rest after marathon and offer a further night for free to ensure my safety as a woman! Dear uncle Gawie who can still have mercy on his fellow man. Really appreciated it!
Unit very well equipped, you don't need anything else. Very neat and clean! Comfortable! Definitely recommend it!
It was very nice and I would go back to Oom Gawie se Plek anytime. Couldn't fault absolutely anything, everything you needed was available.
With such a warm welcome, you are instantly at home at Oom Gawie's Place. A true oasis for wonderful relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the city - a place where you can enjoy and appreciate nature.
We've been very disappointed with places to stay in the past because the photos don't do justice to the place itself, but at Oom Gawie's Place we got much more than what was advertised. Uncle Gawie is a people person, who really cares for his guests. It was like a home of its own. In every smallest need, Oom Gawie's place met and exceeded. Here you can dismount, kick off your shoes, let your hair down and really relax. The location is excellent for a visit to many attractions. I would happily recommend Oom Gawie's Place and we plan to go there again one day and take some friends with us to experience Oom Gawie's place for ourselves. Truly a gem of a place.
Will definitely stay there again.
Very friendly welcome.
Many, many thanks to Gawie and Susan for a wonderful time there with you. Thank you very much for your friendly reception and hospitality. Too bad we couldn't do everything we wanted to do and see. Gawie, thank you very much for all your effort to go and show us places that I wanted to see, and definitely would not have found on my own. Sincerely appreciate it! Sally also says thank you very much for your concern because she was not feeling well. I can assure you that I will use your place again and will definitely recommend it to friends and family. Thanks again for everything, including the photos. Greetings and blessings to you.
We had a pleasant stay. Very friendly atmosphere. The flats are clean and functional and fully equipped.
An accommodation like this is not easily found; they now cater for just about everything. Thank you very much for your effort.
I can recommend Oom Gawie's Place anytime, there was nothing lacking in the place.
Uncle Gawie helps and always comes to see if we need anything and if everything is still okay. This is the second time we have stayed at Oom Gawie's place and I will definitely go there again. The places are very neat and spacious. There are also many places to visit nearby, so Oom Gawie's place is also centrally located.
Very neat and comfortable housing. I was absolutely amazed at all that is available in the living unit. Even mosquito spray! Oom Gawie is a wonderful host and our stay was just too short, would love to stay there again for a few days.
See the stars below.
We were welcomed very kindly and immediately felt at home. The unit we stayed in is very well equipped. We are very impressed with the plenty of storage space for clothing etc. You literally only have to bring your clothes and bathing suits. The service was excellent and maintenance inside and outside of each unit was clean and tidy. The owner made us feel very welcome and is a very pleasant person. I will definitely go back again and can only speak highly of our stay at Oom Gawie's place on Sabie.
Well located to visit attractions.
We had a great time at Oom Gawie's Place. The fact that Oom Gawie offers a laundry and ironing service was a nice treat. The service of the apartment every day was also a bonus.
Uncle Gawie is a wonderful person, very friendly and helpful. We stayed in unit 6 from 28 Dec '13 to 4 Jan '14, and it is very clean and tidy. There is everything you need. The service was excellent and we will stay there again anytime if we have the opportunity again.
Would recommend that LekkeSlaap gives a slightly better indication of how to get there. We didn't know the town, were emotional and tense, and searched for an hour before we could find the place. Not everyone has GPS to help. The place is lovely and peaceful and the owners very wonderful and nice people! Will go again myself and recommend them to other people too! Thank you!
See stars below
Very clean, friendly welcome upon arrival, and the view was beautiful!! It's very quiet and safe, and they are well located to do day visits into the surrounding area.
Had a great stay!
See the stars below.
It was so nice to meet the people and grill with them. They are really very pleasant people.
We would stay at Oom Gawie se Plek again any day, and I would recommend anyone going in that direction to do the same!
Residential units very neat and clean. Everything is carefully planned to make it as comfortable as possible for guests. Braai together and visit with Gawie and Susan is a big plus to chat with guests and get to know them better. You feel safe there and all your goods and equipment in the residential unit are respected. I believe and know that no theft will take place there. To summarize: very nice, cozy and safe and Gawie and Susan are some of the friendliest and most helpful people I have ever met.
This space is too short to DESCRIBE our WONDERFUL WEEKEND. We went to REST... and then stumbled into a School Reunion... what a great weekend it was! The apartment we stayed in was INCREDIBLY well equipped. Everything is there. I recommended to Uncle Gawie and his wife Susan that they contact the Tourism Bureau and have UNCLE GAWIE'S PLACE graduated. I'm sure a few stars could be added to the place's name.
It was very well appointed, everything was thought of. The bathroom with toilet in one room can be a problem. Everything was very clean and had a very friendly reception.
Great stay, close to everything and very safe!
Would recommend to anyone looking to get away. Then you live like this, you don't want to go home, you just mutt. It sooa cremora and cream opi coffee.
Got nice pancakes in bed.
Oom Gawie se Plek is one of the Best Holiday resorts I have ever been to. Oom Gawie made our stay so pleasant, because he is a very kind Gentleman. He was like a grandfather to our 3 boys, for the time we were here. Oom Gawie: you're a blessing to all the visitors, may our Heavenly Father keep you and bless you for many years to come. Love you!!! Brian & Family from Parys.
