21 guests' feedbackVery nice, thank you. Everything one needs is there. Nice view, good location.
Very very beautiful, tasteful, and comfortable.

Our stay at The Folly was incredible, and this beautiful home facilitated one of the most restful holidays I've had in a while. Upon arrival, we were greeted with an extremely clean, great-smelling, and beautifully decorated space. We immediately felt at home with no work required to make ourselves comfortable. The home was equipped with soft towels, quality toilet paper, an abundance of toiletries, and beautiful linen. The fully-equipped and fantastically large kitchen made cooking fun. The additions of a Smart TV, WiFi, and a soundbar provided great entertainment in the evenings. The Folly is around 5 minutes' walking distance from a beautiful viewpoint near the Dam water. This viewing point is very well-kept and clean, equipped with some seating. The best part of this property, however, is the beautiful view of the Vanderkloof Dam and surrounding mountains from the outside deck. This is a wonderful place to spend time with loved ones and share a braai. I would absolutely recommend a stay at The Folly to anyone looking to visit the charming town of Vanderkloof. This is the closest you'll find to a home away from home.
The accommodation was an absolute delight! So much care and attention has been paid to this home; it took our breath away. We have travelled the length and breadth of South Africa, staying in its tiniest dorpies, and we have never experienced such well-appointed accommodation at such reasonable pricing. With breathtaking amenities, from a kitchen that Gordon Ramsey would swear by, to an outdoor heated shower, you will want for nothing! This is a must. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Very neat and clean. Very nice stay and rested.
Excellent accommodation, good location, great equipment!
Vanderkloof is a small village filled with the most friendly people. There is no doubt we will return. The dam is surrounded by a nature reserve, so a boat trip for nature lovers is essential. We saw scores of birds and antelope. The rock formations bordering the dam are astounding as well. We even tried fishing, though not successful, it was fun. It would have been a very unlucky fish that was caught by us, so this is a must for more experienced fishermen. All in all, our stay at The Folly was superb.
The nicest and best equipped unit we have stayed in in a long time.
A must for sure. Everything you can think of and more. This is a must.
We really enjoyed it and felt like royalty to be able to stay in such a fancy place.
A beautiful home, wonderfully appointed, and located with a fabulous view over the dam. The best bed I've ever slept in, and all the amenities you can imagine including a pizza oven. The host/agent's service was impeccable. Wish we could have stayed longer but we'll be back.
Wonderful view of the dam. House is incredibly beautiful and tidy. Everything was 100%. Will definitely book again.
Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised and couldn't have asked for a better start to our holiday.
Very nice place with top facilities. We had a great time.
We drove all day and it was so nice (even if it was loadshedding) to walk in there. Nicely furnished place. Quality bed and linen - it was a dream to get into bed that night. Thank you very much. Will definitely stay there again!
The Folly has the most beautiful decor, it's warm and friendly, so much space and yet so cosy. Unit is fantastically equipped. View from the stoep is something else - something you have to experience for yourself and not be told about. One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed at. Owners went out of their way to give us all the information possible, load shedding schedule, directions, places to eat, shops and more. We can't thank you enough, als was great! Beautiful town and still genuine people in the area, felt like we were visiting friends. Lovely, we'll be back soon.
We loved our stay at The Folly. Beautiful, clean, spacious, highly recommended!
Loved to have stayed longer and enjoyed the house more.
It was nice! We were kindly received, and just more than we expected.
Our expectation was exceeded. Owners can be very proud. Wow!
