15 guests' feedbackIt was a short visit, we would love to come again and stay longer. It was so nice to be able to leave the world and all the activities at the turn and find yourself in nature. Thank you for a very nice place that you share with everyone.
Chalets are beautifully clean and well equipped. There is everything. You can only bring your food.
Along the beautiful Van Der Stel Pass in the Overberg, lies a little gem called Porcupine Hills, a working olive farm with some gorgeous secluded self-catering cottages. Our cottage (Caracal) sits nestled in the mountains next to a stream, surrounded by acres of natural beauty of the larger Diepklowe Private Nature Reserve. Caracal is well appointed, with everything to make your stay in nature comfortable. The cottage is perfect for a couple with a lounge, kitchen, bathroom (large shower, basin and toilet) and bedroom. You just need to bring your own food and drinks and a good book to read next to the mountain pool. No TV, but good WiFi. Large braai place outside and inside the kitchen (just right for those cold winter months). There are a few hiking trails to explore. We took the road up to Moonrise Hill, down through the secret forest and around the dam. If you want peace and quiet, and don't want to drive to far out of Cape Town, Porcupine Hills is the perfect spot.
They were not shy with the wood.
The chalet was nice and cozy, safe and easy to find. The reception greeting was incredibly warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend staying there. Be prepared for a long dirt road drive. I had an excellent nights sleep.
We had a great stay, sorry it could only be one night. Would love to walk around and enjoy the surroundings, but it's winter in the Western Cape.
It's very beautiful and so cozy and wonderful in nature with the wonderful hiking trails. There is everything one could want to relax and recharge!
Although it was such a short stay, we had a great time and an unforgettable experience. We would have liked to go on the hiking trails but we ended up spending most of our time at Klipboks "homestead" just enjoying each other's company and having the best time of our lives. Upon arrival, one friend who’s not big on “bush living” was a bit uneasy and skeptical about the place not being a typical hotel setup, but once the bonfire was on and we all sat around it, let me just say now he says he can’t wait to go back. The star-lit night sky was so perfect, I can only imagine what star-gazing would be like on a beautiful summer night. With breathtaking landscapes, surrounded by hills, hearing the water run down the stream near the very intimate and cosy chalets was just so soothing. Clearly a weekend is not enough, I’d trade city life any day just for this kind of peaceful living.
The farm is the most beautiful and vast stretch of nature. Everywhere you look is a green and tranquil hug. The location of the Dassie cottage is absolute perfection; facing, and overshadowed by the most gorgeous trees. Sounds of nature all around, and a wonderful firepit for a lekker outdoor braai and chill.
Nice place to enjoy the silence and nature and safe to hike. Thank you for the hospitality.
See stars.
Quiet visit in the mountains away from social media and television.
There was a very large amount of flies on the patch of grass outside - perhaps something can be done to distract them or catch them? We were not sure of the cause.
Outside braai light not working. Place full of cob webs. No water for two days. Toilet not flushing. No Covid protocols upon arrival.
We really enjoyed the nature and the privacy. We will definitely go back again because it is all breathtaking!
