Lovely, spacious and well equipped unit is truly a place where you find rest for your soul. With the lapping of the water and the chatter of the rich birdlife, you quickly forget all your worries. Bring plenty of wood for the fireplace, your favorite wine and story book.
Really delicious, thank you.
First time visiting Soetdorings and I must say we had an amazing experience. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. Beautiful views, peacefulness and very neat. The customer service was top-notch. The host is a star. We enjoyed our stay so much that we requested an extra day, and the host made it possible for us. Thank you for a great stay, see you soon.
Very warm and peaceful. Neat and everything you need. Children could row and the view was breathtaking.
We enjoyed it so much. We heeded all the warnings about how cold it could get and were pleasantly surprised when there was a warm blanket on the bed.
Quiet atmosphere, enjoyed the birds, ducks. Will definitely come again, but with a 4x4. The dirt road is not meant for ordinary cars, especially with the heavy rain at the weekend.
Very nice. Nice area, very neat and quiet.
Beautiful view over the water at sunrise!
Will stay there again.
Very nice and quiet. Cabins are very clean and well appointed. Lovely porch to admire nature cleanly. Service was fast and very good.
We stayed here with foreigners. We had a great stay and will definitely recommend the cottages to others.
Very nice, just very hot
It was one of the best stays I have had in a long time. The venue is very well equipped, you are not that far from town, and the tranquility is awesome. Just a perfect place to relax and unwind. Will definitely book again.
It was delicious. Had a nice walk and took nice photos.
Very nice cabin, beautiful view and total peace. The room was clean and neat, had towels and nice bedding as well as a much needed mosquito net! Overall totally worth the stay. The farm has a nice restaurant on site as well.
Accommodation was mostly excellent. There was however no oven mitts (vatlappies) for when you braai, so had to use the one cloth that the unit had, which is also not near enough. The mosquitoes are also a huge problem and I feel the accommodation should warn visitors to at least bring repellant if not supplying it. It makes a person not able to appreciate the beautiful surroundings after sunset, which takes a lot away from the experience.
Very calm. I'm sure it will be even more beautiful when the region gets rain and the dam is full again.
Nice and quiet. Farm.
If you are looking for tranquility, this is the place for you. The view over the pond was very beautiful and was the perfect place to kick off our honeymoon. Soetdoring is located near the town and tourist attraction.
There is special beauty in the Karoo that one can appreciate here. What was very, very special to me was the farm kids who walk past with beaming faces early in the morning to catch fish in the pond. Their cheerful laughs and friendly greetings made morning coffee taste so much better.
Nice house, everything you need is available. Especially the location on the water with countless waterfowl is very beautiful. The cottage is not insulated, which makes it less suitable for a stay in cold weather.
Had a great stay and rested, especially enjoyed the rowing and the tranquility of nature.
We had a wonderful stay even though it was very cold. Did a lot of walking around and bird watching. The environment has never seen such beautiful green. Unfortunately we could not grill meat, as the outside grills were too dirty. There were no bristles or abrasive wire to scrub it.
It was a very short stay for us, but we are absolutely returning as soon as we can.
Baaie lekker, dankie! Excellent value for money. We had a wonderful stay at Soetdoring, the surroundings are beautiful. I only gave 3 stars for client service because the only time I saw anybody is when I went to reception to buy wood. The reception lady was very friendly! We didn't need to check in or check out or even pay a deposit, which is all great! There are lots of little extras in the cabins, the only thing that could be added is a wire brush for the braai grid! Something else worth mentioning is that the cabins smell heavily of wood smoke because the big open kaggel leaks a lot of smoke. To fix that would require installing glass fireplaces inside the existing stone kaggels, but I fear to even suggest this as it would only push up the price! P. S. I gave ligging 4 stars because the place is quite close to the R328 & one hears all the trucks, otherwise it was awesome!
We had a wonderful stay. Place was neat and view is amazing!
Very nice stay. Unfortunately did not meet the owners. Key was left in door. Also didn't know where to enter key. Sommer left in the door again when we walked. But cute spot should be very nice when pond is full.
Beautiful location. Getting to the cabin took a long gravel road. It felt a bit unsafe after it rained overnight. The ducks and birds were quite noisy at night.
We enjoyed the tranquil setting, abundant bird life, and rustic atmosphere of the wooden cabin. However, the access road was totally unsuitable for our rental sedan car. Over our 4-day stay, we had to traverse the road several times; each time experiencing high levels of anxiety about damaging the car (no matter how slowly we drove). Cooking facilities and crockery were rudimentary and insufficient. Eating out would have been a good option, if only we had a 4X4 or large SUV with good ground clearance.
A bit disappointing.
The expectation was great. We regularly use your bookings. This was disappointing. The freezer was frozen. Couldn't get own stock. The faucets in the bathroom are turning. The sofa in the living room is done and very dirty. We had to throw a blanket over it to sit on. There were 100th flies. Moss to town to buy brandy and citronella oil. You come to close in the forest in a log house, but if the standard is not raised, visitors will run out. We were the only ones there during school holidays. In the 4 days we did not see any staff or host. Sorry to express myself so strongly, but the accommodation is not worth the money.
It was delicious, we really enjoyed it.
Amazing country feeling.
It was nice to use the indoor grill. The dam makes the place so peaceful, especially after a lot of rain. We will stay longer next time.
It was very nice and peaceful.
Beautiful pond with countless amount of waterfowl. Excellent place to just rest.
Well equipped cottages suitable for any weather.
Very relaxing stay. Worth the drive out of Cape Town for the weekend.
We really enjoyed staying there. Nice to be able to be just outside the town, would recommend to anyone.
We intend of coming back again with friends for another getaway holiday.
Beautiful, clean. Everything works.
Soetdoring is close to the main road, in a tranquil setting next to the dam, a very comfortable cabin to overnight in. It would be nice to be able to walk around the dam. We tried, but it was very overgrown. All in all, a lovely spot to stay.
Quiet evening by the pond. Beautiful nature and will stay longer next time.
Beautiful, clean, nice walking and bird watching.
It's a good spot for those who want to get away from the city life and noise, it's really a breath of fresh air, will recommend it to anyone going on vacation.
Beautiful scenery. Close to town.
The stay was excellent. However, the place needs to be checked for cleanliness before guests arrive. The last cleaning was on 13 November according to the cleanliness chart. The towels also need to be replaced as they are really worn out. The ceiling fans have spider webs and could not be removed as they are too high. This can be resolved as the place has air conditioning. Also, there were too many switches that were not working, and maybe they can be marked to illustrate which switch is which.
Nice and quiet environment with epic views. The hosts are very accommodating and always helpful. We could check out at 12 instead of 10h30.
We loved our little cabin - Plover - the indoor fireplace kept us cosy and the king-size bed was super comfortable with amazing linen. The view from the deck over the dam was spectacular - both in the mornings and evenings. Staff were super helpful and attentive. We will most definitely be back.
We just stayed in the "Fish Eagle" unit for a weekend and it was amazing. The sunrise was breathtaking. The place was neat, fully furnished and very clean. We had a great time inside the fireplace/fire (it did smoke a bit, so get dry wood if you can) during loadshedding and wish we could have stayed longer.
It was wonderfully peaceful. The canoe was great to paddle on the dam, great fun. Nice close to town, but just relax, didn't need anything. Great service for my friend who was staying alone in the chalet next door and for which they went the extra mile.
Lovely big fireplace, but terribly smoky in the room. Only 2 coffee cups, otherwise very comfortable. Luxury linens.
We had a very pleasant stay. There was an abundance of birdlife surrounding the cabin. It even got a bit noisy at night with all the frogs and nightlife, but it was still enjoyable. We did encounter some difficulty with the hot plates as the dials were not functioning properly, but overall the cabin was well-equipped with a comfortable bed and mosquito nets, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep.
Everything bakgat, directions as per map could improve.
We had a great stay, but the unit was not 100% clean. I think no one had been there for a long time, because it was a bit dusty and the glasses had clearly not been washed for a long time. The hot water faucet at the kitchen sink didn't work, so I had to tap water in the bathroom to wash dishes. There is also no drying rack by the kitchen sink, so dishes had to lie flat. I think for the price they are asking, they can at least really make sure the taps are all working, there is a drying rack and the place is dusted before the new guests check in. And the one curtain rail kept falling out. So, little work is needed.
Beautiful surroundings and very quiet next to the dam. Lots to see/do in Oudsthoorn which is not far.
Route on GPS confusing at first. Put up Soetdoring sign next to tarmac. Otherwise tops.
Nice wooden house next to the pond with lots of aquatic life.
We slept on a lovely bed, very nice view and indoor barbecue is fantastic for the winter weather. Thank you, we had a great time relaxing.
We will definitely be back to visit again. What a beautiful little gem.
Amazing, clean and amazing service.
Ideal break away, beautiful surroundings. 5 minutes from the town. Very well equipped and everything chosen with care. Will definitely recommend this - especially for a family.
We had thee most amazing time and will definitely be going back for a visit. Management and staff are professional and do an excellent job of making this a lovely little getaway place.
Had an amazing time at Soetdoring, it is beautiful and well worth it. Had all the amenities we needed, including much needed aircon. Was so relaxing sitting on the deck watching the bird life around the dam. Will definitely recommend and if we are in the area again and will definitely be staying here.
We enjoyed our stay very much, and feel that you definitely get value for your money. It's peaceful & beautiful. Unfortunately the one electric blanket was broken when we tried to use it as it was very cold, but other than that we enjoyed our stay very much.
A lovely rustic experience! Beautiful surrounds and a very comfy large bed!
The living units are clean and perfectly located next to the dam. We appreciated and enjoyed the absolute tranquility and beautiful location. You can forget about the world when you are there.
It is a beautiful place, in a unique location. Very chilled surrounded by amazing views and an abundance of bird life.
The unit had neat, clean bedding and floors. Unfortunately, the unit is not very clean. The cutlery, lights, ceiling fans, curtains were very dusty, cobwebs everywhere (on the ceiling fans, window frames, etc.). The couch is also no longer as clean as we wanted, we had to throw our own big blanket over it to make it more livable. WiFi had been down for a full day.
Very bad experience. Also the owners do not seem to handle complaints very well.
The atmosphere and the surrounding was amazing.
Bring your MTB, sunscreen, enjoy the farm trails and the swimming pool.
Soetdoring's customer service is smooth, the wooden houses have the most beautiful view and are fantastically furnished for a family with younger children. The pond is open, there is a walking/jogging trail on the farm and an awful lot to do in the area. We will stay there again.
We were blown away by the beautiful wood cabins overlooking the dam - the birdlife was really impressive, and we could see the gorgeous snow-topped Swartberge in the distance.
I would definitely recommend this accommodation. We will definitely come back again.
Everything was perfect and well organized. Feedback and service was prompt and always on time. We will definitely stay at Soetdoring again.
A real gem! Will definitely be back and recommend!
We (unfortunately) only stayed one night and now that we've found out about this beautiful place, we're definitely going back for longer! We were very impressed with the stone house where we stayed - nice and cuddly bedding and everything you need in the kitchen. The braai on the stoep (with enough wood - thank you very much), was the ideal place to hang out until late in the evening. Thank you for allowing us to visit the farm and for making it feel like home!
I plan to book with Soetdoring again. I enjoyed the braai facilities and my companion enjoyed the room. The place is breathtaking.
Very neat, clean and peaceful.
Very nice stay, beautiful house equipped with everything you need. Wonderful porch to watch the sunrise and sunset.
House is small but it has everything you need. There is a fireplace/braai inside, but the cottage still gets very cold in the winter. Fortunately there were electric blankets on the beds for the cold nights. Would recommend that they provide an extra heater for the winter.
We had a very quiet program. Dusk was nice with the braai fire and the geese and ducks on the dam, Nice rowing and also very nice pizza eaten at the Zeekoe farm's restaurant. Our program included the Swartberge pass and visits to nearby show ostrich farms.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Soetdoring. Incredible sunsets from the patio. Only thing is that we didn't have a full set of drinking glasses, which have probably been broken in the past and not replaced.
The cottage kitchens were not well equipped, our toilet stopped filling with water, the other cottage toilets made a big noise every time it flushed.
The scenery and birdlife are wonderful. The accommodation is poorly planned with ill-conceived decor and interior layout.
Due to the on-going drought in the area, the dam in front of the units has almost dried up. I can just imagine how amazing it would be when the dam is full.
If you're looking for a perfect and quiet break away from the hustle and bustle, Soetdoring is your place. So peaceful and beautiful.
The cabin is the right size, location is amazing and I cannot wait to book another trip to stay! Cabin has everything and more that you need. The only downside is all the spiders, but otherwise I don't have any complaints. Super happy to have come across Soetdoring Selfsorg.
Beautiful, well equipped, not too far out of town, quiet, safe.
It was fantastic and I'll definitely visit again in tbe near future.
We could play board games, read, walk and switch off here. It's so close to everything in Oudtshoorn, but far enough for bliss.
See stars.
We really enjoyed our stay at Soetdoring. It was lovely and will definitely recommend Soetdoring to our family and friends.
See stars.
