Please note that the last 1,5 km to Saamrus is a narrow farm road.
The first section is paved and fine for all vehicles, but the second half of the road can be slippery and difficult for low cars in wet weather. In spite of this, the road is still accessible by car, but if guests come with a very low, sporty car, guests will find it quite difficult. Guests should not get stuck, but guests will have to drive very slowly if they are coming by car, to prevent the car hooking at the bottom. If guests are bringing pets along, please make sure that they are thoroughly treated against ticks. During summer, they will definitely pick up ticks when walking in the veld.
Extra day visitors who are not sleeping over are only allowed if arranged with management in advance.
There is a charge of R 100 per person for day visitors.
Cottages are not normally serviced during guests stay. Servicing can be requested at an extra charge of R 50 per service for 2 people, more for group bookings. Please confirm this upon arrival.
Piet-my-vrou, Kiepersol, Suikerbos, Akasia, Karee and Olienhout cottages are situated on a steep hill and only reachable by diff lock bakkie, 4x4 or on foot In wet weather serious 4x4 or on foot only. If guests have a car only and wish to stay in this cottage, guests can park their car at the safe reception parking area at the foot of the hill and walk the 60 - 400 m uphill to the cottages. We will have at least 2 strong men on duty to help guests carry the luggage for a tip of R 20 each on arrival and departure.
Tarentaal, Kiewiet and Hoephoep cottages are situated at the foot of the hill and close to the river walks. These cottages are reachable by car.
