Very nice please. Peace on earth. Beautiful nature. Enjoyed hiking very much. Host and family very friendly.
The house was very tidy and despite the heat outside, amazingly cool inside.
Lovely and peaceful. It is a lovely place and the walk on the farm was great.
Friendly reception. Very clean, tidy and comfortable with everything you need. The peaceful farm atmosphere is indescribable. True relief for the soul! One day is too little - feel free to stay longer.
I stayed in Aloe Cottage - beautiful and well appointed. It had all the amenities one could ask for and a wonderful piquant little braai with braai grid included. The cottage is well situated with lots of vegetation to create privacy, but it is both a working farm and situated fairly near the main house. The hosts are awesome, so it was perfect for me, but I wouldn't choose it for a romantic getaway. I would gladly go back.
We had a great stay - the silence is a hit.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Country Garden. For a weekend of wanting to be away from it all, this was the place. Very quiet with only nature's sounds around. We had everything we needed.
Yes, very nice. There are just too few standby lights for load shedding. Good value for money.
Yes, we had a wonderful stay.
We were welcomed and had a cosy and peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings.
Clean, tidy, functional accommodation.
The place of residence is very neat, but they can easily provide a better braai place. The woods around the cottage need to be cleared more to be able to appreciate the valley. There is no mobile reception.
Unfortunately, we experienced the place as small and cramped. In the kitchen there are also soft sofas that make movement around the table difficult. There is also only a small fridge and that for 6 people! For all practical purposes there is no hanging space in the rooms. The third room in particular is very small.
Here children can experience the farm at its best and you can also take the dog along. You should also try the jam that is made on the farm from their own fruits and vegetables. Nice!
Thanks to Gerda for asking in advance if she could move us to Aloe Cottage as Sunflower Cottage was being painted. We enjoyed Aloe Cottage. Everything you need Curly the one dog visits us every night.
Our visit was short, but it's very beautiful there. Friendly hostess and neat, clean accommodation. Would definitely recommend it. Gasteplaas is a bit remote so we would have appreciated some milk and of course lamp oil as it was load shedding too.
Neat, peaceful and private.
Had an overnight stop. Lovely farm style accommodation. A little bit off the main routes if you use it for an overnight stop, so I would recommend a longer stay to fully appreciate the serene location and farm atmosphere.
This family-run guest farm is the perfect place to stay if you treasure the peace and beauty of remote areas. My cottage was simple but comfortable and the hosts very welcoming.
Use of WiFi was good, small shop a useful addition.
The courtesy of young Thomas at reception was commendable. Thank you young man for making us feel so welcome.
I felt a bit like Heidi, in the mountains with the animals and the incredible silence. Perfect getaway. And our 1 year old almost played herself to death.
Everyone we met were really friendly.
The children really enjoyed the animals and the friendliness of the family's children. We could also take our dog with us. It was a lovely weekend very good for the soul. We really enjoyed the silence of nature. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. Everything you need is there.
Very good host and hostess. We enjoyed the farm animals and fresh air and beautiful scenery so much. Would recommend the accommodation to anyone who needs a good break.
It was the ideal place to relax and unwind. The children had the time of their lives feeding the animals, milking the cows and goats and collecting chicken eggs in the afternoons! The stars at night are a sight to experience!
Thank you for the hospitality. Even though we arrived early, we were warmly received. The cottage is well equipped. We came specifically to watch birds and were not disappointed. Their jams are recommended.
A working farm, a working farm family.
Friendly helpful hosts.
A great experience for us.
